The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 511: All at once

Nian Shilan saw a hint of bitterness gradually creeping into Yinzhen's smile, and she knew that he was probably thinking about his childhood.

Nian Shilan waved to the Fourth Prince, motioning him to come closer, then lowered her body slightly and said.

"Did Hongli hear what he said just now? Hongli and the Emperor are really alike.

Then Hongli would probably want to hug his father who is the same as himself."

The Fourth Prince tilted his head, thought for a while, and asked Nian Shilan.

"Can a man hug someone else? Wouldn't that be embarrassing for a man?"

Nian Shilan said while trying not to laugh.

"Who said that men can't hug others? Besides, the emperor is not someone else.

He is your father and the person closest to you besides your mother.

When Hongli grows up, gets married and has children, he will become a real man.

You will still have your wife and children in your arms at that time."

The Fourth Prince listened hard to Nian Shilan's words with his little head. Although he didn't quite understand, he knew that it was not shameful to hug the Emperor in front of him.

So he stretched out his short arms, walked forward and said to Yinzhen.

"Father, hold me."

Yinzhen came back to his senses and happily picked up the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince's soft little body was in Yinzhen's arms. Yinzhen looked at Nian Shilan's bulging belly, where his child was also. He suddenly felt that he was not alone.

Holding the Fourth Prince in his arms and holding Nian Shilan's hand, he walked into the house. At this moment, Yinzhen looked like an ordinary husband.

Suddenly, the Fourth Prince whispered to Nian Shilan.

"Mother, the emperor's stomach is growling loudly. He must still be hungry."

Although he spoke quietly, his voice was quite loud, and not only did Nian Shilan hear his words, but Yinzhen also heard them clearly.

Before Nian Shilan could say anything, Yinzhen was very frank.

"Hongli is right, the Emperor is still hungry.

How about giving Hongli's midnight snack to Huang Ama?"

The Fourth Prince clapped his hands and said happily without hesitation.

"Okay, okay, I'll give all my midnight snacks to Your Majesty. Your Majesty needs to eat his fill!"

After hearing this, Su Peisheng was so happy that he immediately ordered the imperial kitchen to serve the meal, but was stopped by Nian Shilan.

"Eunuch Su, there is no need to rush. This palace's small kitchen is always prepared with food.

I will set up a small kitchen and prepare some meals that suit the emperor's appetite."

After Yinzhen had his midnight snack in Qingliang Palace, he drank the Thousand Island Jade Leaf Tea that Nian Shilan had ordered to be served to him, and he could not help but sigh with satisfaction.

"I still feel more comfortable here in Shilan."

Nian Shilan no longer drinks tea these days. Instead, he takes the spring water he fetches from Yuquan Mountain every day and orders people to boil it for him to drink.

"As long as Your Majesty likes it, I will accompany Your Majesty and always remember the rules.

I dare not go beyond my duty. The emperor is busy with state affairs.
If you still can't find peace here, it's my fault."

Nian Shilan was drinking water and talking with a smile on her face when the Fourth Prince had already been taken away by the wet nurse.

Before leaving, he solemnly said goodbye to Yinzhen.

"Please sit down, Father and Mother. I still have some lessons to review. I will take my leave now."

Yinzhen was also surprised that the Fourth Prince, who was so young, had to do homework at night.

Year of the Landau.

“It’s just that the kids are looking for something to do for themselves.

The emperor found an enlightenment teacher for Hongli, but Hongli seemed to prefer poetry.

I often ask people to find some Tang and Song poems to read, but they can't understand them.
I have to force myself to memorize it. It gives me a headache just watching.

I have never liked reading since I was young, but I gave birth to a son who loves reading."

Seeing the Fourth Prince walking away with his short legs, Yinzhen said, "You don't like reading, but our son likes reading, which is like me."

Nian Shilan said lazily.

"Yes, fortunately he looks like the emperor. If he looked like me, I would be guilty."

She said "guilty" but her expression didn't seem guilty at all. Instead, she looked lazy.

Yinzhen shook his head.

"You fox, you just said you should always remember the rules.

You look so lazy right now. I suspect you are lying to me.

But I am willing to be deceived by you."

Nian Shilan sighed.

"Your Majesty came to my place, and after you had enough to eat and drink, you started to pick a fight with me?

Your Majesty, are you not bothered enough by state affairs and are now trying to provoke the harem?"

Yinzhen was choked by Nian Shilan's question and suddenly said.

"Isn't your mouth filled with arsenic every day? I haven't asked you yet, how is the medicine going?"

Nian Shilan said casually.

"Shuangjiang has been beaten to death by me, she said.

It was a little maidservant beside Lady Wan who asked her to drug me.

But I haven't found any solid evidence.
I don't want this to cause any bloodshed in the harem.
So that’s it.”

Yinzhen frowned slightly when he saw her talking about killing Shuangjiang so casually, as if she was chopping melons and vegetables.

"That's not like you. If it were in the past, you would have investigated everything thoroughly.

But I didn't expect that Concubine Wan would be involved again."

Nian Shilan then looked into Yinzhen's eyes seriously and said.

"Your Majesty is right. In the past, I wanted to investigate everything thoroughly.

They will not let the real mastermind behind the scenes go easily.

But this time, it did not cause any harm to me."

She paused, and Yinzhen naturally understood that not only did it not cause any harm, but it also made him very happy.

When Yinzhen thought of what happened that day, he felt his throat tighten and his mouth became dry, Nian Shilan said.

"Your Majesty, please drink some water first, and then listen to what I have to say."

Seeing that Nian Shilan had seen through his thoughts, Yinzhen picked up the teacup awkwardly.

Nian Shilan continued.

"Since you haven't caused any harm to me, then even if you find someone,

It was just a light reprimand.
The servants are accusing each other, and I dare not believe them easily.
I am even more unwilling to bring disgrace upon my sisters in the palace who serve the Emperor together with me.

Thirdly, this medicine is dishonorable after all. If it gets out, not only will my reputation be damaged,

I'm afraid it won't be good for the emperor. If there are any more daring people,

If they follow suit, wouldn't all the women in the harem have to take drugs in order to gain favor?
Your Majesty's health is the most important thing, I don't want to cause trouble for Your Majesty because of this matter."

Yinzhen said.

"So you mean, let's just leave it at that?"

Nian Shilan rolled her eyes and said without caring whether Yinzhen saw it.

"Your Majesty, we have known each other for such a long time. Do you ever think that I am a pushover?"

Yinzhen was stunned again.

I have always known that Nian Shilan is not particular about details, but this is too casual. I have never heard of anyone describing himself like this.

Nian Shilan continued.

"I am only concerned about the dragon baby in my belly, and I think it would be better to wait a while.
Wait until that person can no longer bear it and jumps out, then the Emperor will attack him as well."
