The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Li Guiren shrank back helplessly. In recent years, apart from Empress Ulanara, the most powerful person in the harem, Concubine Hua was the only one who held a corner.

No matter who she offended, Concubine Li didn't want to do that.

Concubine Duan had long since stopped counting on Yinzhen's favor. She recited Buddhist scriptures and worshipped Buddha in her own Yanqing Palace every day, and occasionally asked people to send the copied Buddhist scriptures to Baohua Palace to be burned.

Concubine Jing was content with having a daughter. She raised Princess Kangle carefully over the years and never participated in the harem disputes.

No one else would set their sights on her.

Since falling out of favor a few years ago, Concubine Wan has long lost her former pride and remains silent every day, with no one knowing what she is thinking.

As for the likes of Concubine Lan, Concubine Meng, and Concubine Chun, apart from fighting over food and drink, they couldn't cause any trouble.

Concubines like Huipin and Xin Guiren who have children only care about their children all day long and don't care that much about Yinzhen.

Therefore, what Nian Shilan said about the deadness in the harem was not groundless.

Ulanara said to Nian Shilan.

"Now, my sister is the only one in the harem who is as beautiful as you, and she has the emperor's favor all to herself.
Why are you still thinking about finding someone else to share your affection? My sister is really generous. "

Nian Shilan tapped the table with her fingers intentionally or unintentionally, with a smile on her lips and a cold look in her eyes.

"I don't understand what the Queen said. A woman who truly loves the Emperor,

Who is willing to share his grace with others?
We have no control over who the emperor likes, so we have no choice but to be generous.

Or maybe the Queen doesn't really like the Emperor.
That's why I have been persuading the Emperor to stay with this nobleman for so many years.

Tomorrow we will stay at that place. If so, I really admire you, Your Majesty."

Ulanara said sternly.

"How dare you! Concubine Hua, is this the way you should talk to me?"

Nian Shilan stood up slowly.

"You don't allow me to be presumptuous, but I have been presumptuous many times. The Queen's generosity,

This palace is far from being able to do that. But the Queen should never, ever,

You keep using me as a scapegoat, but I won't accept it."

After saying this, Nian Shilan took Songzhi's hand and left gracefully.

Ulanara stared at her back, her eyes almost bursting with anger.

After being contradicted in public by Nian Shilan time and time again, Ulanara was like a piece of clay and didn't want to endure this humiliation any longer.

As soon as Yinzhen came back from the morning court, he saw Ulanara standing outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health~"

In the sunlight, the wrinkles on Ulanara's face, who was so close to her, could no longer be hidden. Yinzhen calmly looked away and walked forward.

"Get up. It's rare for the Queen to come to see me today. I wonder what's the matter?"

Ulanara stood up straight, and seeing that Yinzhen had no intention of stopping, she had no choice but to follow Yinzhen into the hall.

Su Peisheng had asked someone to prepare breakfast, and Yinzhen sat down at the table.

He turned around and saw Ulanara and said.

"The Queen must have not had time to eat breakfast yet, why don't we eat together?"

Ulanara was somewhat delighted as she had not dined with Yinzhen for a long time, so she walked over, thanked him, and sat opposite Yinzhen.

Ulanara drank a bowl of soup and was thinking about what to say. Yinzhen swallowed the food in his mouth and said.

"If the Queen has something to say, please tell me later. Do not talk while eating or sleeping. This is what the Queen once told me."

Ulanara had no choice but to swallow what she wanted to say and just wait until the two of them finished their breakfast. Only then did Su Peisheng order someone to remove the remaining breakfast, and Xiao Xiazi came in.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ortai and Lord Tian Wenjing are outside seeking an audience, saying they have important matters to report."

Yinzhen frowned, looking a little complaining.

"You really never give me a moment of leisure."

Seeing this, Ulanara had no choice but to leave. When she went out, she saw Ortai and Tian Wenjing waiting outside the door for the emperor to summon her.

The two men paid their respects to Ulanara, who nodded and left the Yangxin Palace with a lot on her mind.

As soon as Ortai and Tian Wenjing saw Yinzhen, they could no longer hide their sad expressions.

"Your Majesty, I received a letter this morning regarding the Tusi in the southwest."

After listening to Ortai's report, Yinzhen realized that the southwestern chieftains who had originally surrendered to the Qing court had somehow caused trouble again.

They attacked the Qing garrisons, demolished the schools that the court had spent a lot of effort to run, and concentrated the fertile land that was originally returned to the people through violence, returning the entire southwestern border area to its former state.

The more Yinzhen listened, the angrier he became, and he even threw the beads in his hand.

The beads fell to the ground with a tinkling sound.

Su Peisheng knew that Yinzhen was angry, but he didn't dare to go in at this time.

Xiao Xiazi glanced at Su Peisheng's expression and spoke carefully.

"Master, the emperor is angry. How can we serve him?"

Su Peisheng said helplessly.

"How would I know how to serve you? I'll serve you with my head on the line."

Seeing that Yinzhen was angry, Ortai and Tian Wenjing just lowered their heads.

The two of them had anticipated this outcome before they came.

After Yinzhen was furious, he pointed at Tian Wenjing.

"What do you think we should do in this situation?"

Tian Wenjing has always been known for his iron fist in the court, and Yinzhen also knows this.

Tian Wenjing said.

"In reply to Your Majesty, I think this situation is difficult to explain.
To put it simply, it is just a matter of a word from you. "

Yinzhen asked back.

"how do I say this?"

Tian Wenjing said.

"The chieftains in the southwest have always harbored disloyal intentions. Even though the imperial court has allocated a lot of money and grain to them over the years,
They are unable to satisfy their growing appetite. I have heard that they take pleasure in enslaving the people.

There are also many cruel methods to rule the people. Xunzi said that people are born mean.

It is very appropriate to put it on the chieftains in the southwest. I think that for such a nature,
The best way is to march to the southwestern border and wipe out the rebellion of the imperial court. There is no other way."

Yinzhen said.

"The Qi family has always been guarding the southwest, but now such a big thing has happened.
I didn't hear a single word in the memorial sent by Qi Baili. How ridiculous."

Ortai Road.

“Your Majesty, I heard that Qi Baili is nearly seventy years old and I’m afraid he can’t fully control the southwestern border.

Moreover, his son Qi Lianchen has been in the capital for a long time and is not a talented general.

I guess this is why the chieftains are so fearless. "

Tian Wenjing gently pulled the corner of Ortai's clothes, and Ortai realized that Qi Baili was Concubine Duan's grandfather.

Even though Concubine Duan had no children in the harem and was not very favored, she was still the emperor's concubine.

The relationship between the former dynasty and the harem has always been intertwined.

But the words had already been spoken, and Ortai could no longer care about anything else.

Yinzhen pondered for a while and nodded.

"My dear minister, what you said makes sense. In your opinion, who in the court can replace the Qi family and take on the responsibility of guarding the southwest?" (End of this chapter)
