The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 522 Attracting bees and butterflies
And Concubine Zhao really did as she said. She did not cause trouble for the Ulanara family. Instead, after she became favored, she always persuaded the emperor to go to Jingren Palace.

When this matter reached Nian Shilan's ears, she just thought it was their sisters' business and was too lazy to ask.

Until one day, Concubine Xin came in a hurry.

"I have already sent a letter home about what the Imperial Concubine has told me.

Your Majesty has already pointed out the way for me, and I will not let you down!"

Nian Shilan was already more than seven months old at this time, and her belly had obviously grown bigger.

She nodded.

"I was not sure at first, but now with your help, I can give it a try."

On the tenth day of October, there was a golden autumn chrysanthemum viewing meeting. All the concubines wore bright and gorgeous clothes, and Nian Shilan was naturally the best.

The weather was fine, so Yinzhen asked people to arrange a chrysanthemum-viewing banquet in the imperial garden in advance.

Yinzhen ordered people to move out all the new kinds of chrysanthemums grown in the greenhouse, and all the concubines gathered together to watch.

Under the warm autumn sun, in the imperial garden of the harem, golden, crimson, pure white and emerald green chrysanthemums bloom in full bloom, creating a colorful display.

The delicate flowers sway in the breeze, emitting a faint fragrance, attracting colorful butterflies to dance and bees to fly busily among them.

The concubines were dressed in gorgeous clothes, standing or sitting among the flowers. Their clothes were as gorgeous as chrysanthemums, setting off their exquisite faces.

Concubine Duan gently stroked the petals, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes, as if she was telling the chrysanthemum her thoughts.

Chun Changzai was laughing and joking with Wan Guiren. Their voices were clear and pleasant, as refreshing as the gurgling of water.

They held delicate round fans in their hands and fanned them gently, bringing a hint of coolness and adding a bit of indescribable charm.

In the distance, Concubine Xin was sitting alone on a stone bench, her eyes gazing into the sky, as if she was expecting something.

The palace maid beside her whispered consolation to her, but Concubine Xin was obviously not thinking about this. Her heart drifted away with the floating clouds.

In this sea of ​​flowers, laughter and quiet contemplation are interwoven into a vivid picture.

Chrysanthemums are not just ornamental flowers. In the eyes of the concubines in the harem, they are messengers of autumn and a bright spot in palace life.

Every time one appreciates chrysanthemums, it is a pursuit of beauty and also a sustenance of court life.

Sometimes, the concubines would pick some flower petals and sprinkle them lightly into the clear pool water. Watching the petals drifting with the waves, their moods would also drift away, peaceful and comfortable.

Not far away, a koi jumped out of the water, splashing ripples and adding a bit of vitality.

The afternoon sun shines through the treetops, dappling on the ground, and the fallen leaves slowly drift down, adding a touch of bleak beauty to this chrysanthemum-viewing picture.

The concubines either lowered their heads to whisper or looked into the distance at the sky. Their emotions were like the autumn breeze, with both warm tenderness and a hint of sadness.

The chrysanthemums bloom in their gaze and also in their hearts. It is a silent banquet. Only those who know how to appreciate it can experience this unique beauty.

Because she was pregnant, Nian Shilan did not hang out with other concubines. She sat alone in a place not far from Concubine Xin. Lidong had already placed a goose feather cushion on the stone bench.

Yinzhen sat on a high place, looking at the colorful and joyful scene before him, and put aside the thoughts that were usually troubled by the complicated state affairs.

Nian Shilan always felt that someone was staring at her. When she followed that gaze, what she saw was Yinzhen's smile.

Nian Shilan couldn't help but think of her previous life, how she tried so hard to attract Yinzhen's attention, but was always in distress.

At that time, she longed for Yinzhen's eyes to be on her all the time, but unfortunately, she was just a chess piece for Yinzhen to balance the harem and the previous dynasty. Nian Shilan retracted her gaze and looked at the stone table in front of her indifferently. On the stone table were various snacks made by the imperial kitchen, which were very pleasing to the eye under the autumn sun.

Yinzhen was startled when he saw Nian Shilan retract her gaze and ignored him.

Su Peisheng immediately groaned in his heart, what on earth was this Concubine Hua not satisfied with? She never gave the Emperor a good look.

Su Peisheng was just thinking about how he could say a few words to cheer the emperor up when he saw the butterflies in the imperial garden suddenly fly towards the queen.

Even Ulanara herself was surprised. The butterflies flying around her stunned all the concubines in the imperial garden.

Chun Changzai was the youngest and couldn't help clapping his hands.

"Your Majesty is so beautiful! I have never seen so many butterflies flying around one person!"

Zhen Changzai was the first to react and knelt down.

"The Empress is the mother of the country. Today's miracle is a sign of good fortune for the Qing Dynasty.
I, your concubine, congratulate the Emperor on his longevity and the Empress on her thousandth birthday!"

All the concubines followed Zhen Changzai and knelt down, but Nian Shilan was sitting farther away and had a big belly, so she slowly stood up with the help of Songzhi and Lidong.

Ulanara looked at these butterflies and felt a little uneasy in her heart, but the moment she looked at Yinzhen, there was a look of surprise on her face.

Yinzhen looked at the scene in the imperial garden with his eyes narrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

But seeing Ulanara standing among the kneeling concubines and looking at him with eyes flashing with joy and excitement, Yinzhen smiled at her and clapped his hands.

"The Queen is very beautiful today!"

But as more and more butterflies flew, people noticed something was wrong. There were actually bees among these butterflies.

Some timid concubines, such as Noble Lady Lan, retreated slightly on their knees.

It was Chun Changzai who first discovered this scene and exclaimed.

"The Queen not only attracted butterflies, but also bees!"

Nian Shilan didn't have to kneel, and upon hearing this, he quickly retreated to a place some distance away from the Ulanara family.

Concubine Xin suddenly jumped up from the ground.

"Ouch! I was stung by a bee!"

Immediately afterwards, screams were heard in twos and threes from the crowd. The concubines did not care about anything else for the moment and all dodged the invasion of bees.

Seeing the chaos in the audience, Su Peisheng asked the imperial guards to protect Yinzhen.

The concubines who ran faster avoided the bee stings, while those who ran slower even got several blisters on their hands and faces, and the imperial garden was in chaos.

Nian Shilan looked extremely surprised and hurriedly hid further away, but her eyes were fixed on Ulanara who was frantically avoiding the bees.

There were no more butterflies around her, and only bees were surrounding her.

While dodging, the palace servants had to pick up various things at hand and swat the bees on Ulanara's body, but they could not use too much force for fear of photographing the noble Empress.

It was not until Jiang Fuhai pulled out a large piece of brocade from somewhere, swatted away the bees with force, and covered Ulanara's exposed head and hands that the bees gradually dispersed.
