The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 67 I got it wrong
When Yinzhen went to Xingfu Courtyard, Ulanara was already standing in the corridor waiting for him.

"I pay my respects to my master."

Ulanara respectfully bowed.

"No need to be so polite." Yinzhen rarely stepped forward and personally helped Ulanara up.

In summer, clothes are thin, and the warmth from Yinzhen's hand made Ulanara feel dazed for a moment.

It seemed as if this was the summer when she had just entered the mansion and had a close relationship with Yinzhen.

"What happened to Madam Duan? The maid said she was feeling unwell. Did she have a miscarriage? Did she see the palace doctor?"

Yinzhen asked.

Ulanara came back to her senses and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"My Lord, Duan said she was not feeling well after dinner in the evening. I have sent the palace doctor to see her and prescribed medicine to help her stay pregnant. But Duan still said she was not feeling well and wanted you to come and see her. I had no choice but to disturb you."

"In that case, I will go and see her."

After Yinzhen finished speaking, he was led by a servant to the left wing where Duan currently lived.

When Duan saw Yinzhen coming in, she hurriedly pretended to get up from the bed to greet him, but Yinzhen waved his hand to exempt her from the greeting. Su Peisheng followed Yinzhen and quickly scanned Duan's room.

The room was bigger than Jianjiaxuan's, and there were more servants serving.

"I pay my respects to you, my master, and beg you to forgive me. I am not feeling well and cannot stand up to kowtow to you, my master."

When Duan saw Yinzhen, she was delighted, but she was not that stupid. Her eyes turned red and she was about to cry.

"Why are you crying for no reason? Didn't you want to see me? Do you dislike me now? Or do you blame me for coming late?"

Yinzhen frowned when he saw Duan's tears welling up in her eyes. But he suppressed his impatience because he hated women crying all the time.

It would be fine if you could cry beautifully, but crying with snot and tears all the time is annoying.

Ulanara spoke.

"I think it's because a woman is worried when she's pregnant. My master was too busy to take care of Sister Duan these past few days, and she feels wronged. I still have some things to do, so please chat with Sister Duan, Master."

After saying this, Ulanara took her servants and left Duan's house.

Yinzhen turned around and saw the court physician waiting nearby, so he simply asked the physician.

"Doctor Fang just checked Duan's pulse, but what happened? Why is she feeling unwell?"

Doctor Fang, the court physician, knelt down hurriedly to report.

"Your Highness, I have taken Miss Duan's pulse and it is stable, but she has signs of qi stagnation. I have already prescribed a prescription and sent it to the small kitchen in the courtyard to be boiled."

"Qi stagnation? Why is this happening?"

Yinzhen was puzzled.

Doctor Fang came back again.

"I think it's because Miss Duan is worried and confused during her pregnancy. I have already told Miss Duan that keeping the baby safe is the most important thing now. She should be open-minded and avoid having any random thoughts."

"Okay, you go down first."

Yinzhen waved his hand to send Doctor Fang away, then spoke to Duan.

"This is your first pregnancy, and you are still young, so it is inevitable that you have to think about a lot of things. The wife is kind and worried that it is not suitable for you to have a healthy pregnancy in Jianjiaxuan, so she asked you to move to Xingfuyuan. If you follow the wife, she will take care of everything, and I can rest assured that you can rest assured to have a healthy pregnancy. If you need anything, you can ask the wife, I believe she will arrange it properly."

Duan bravely looked up at Yinzhen. This prince was handsome and elegant, although his face was cold. But she was his concubine and she should not be afraid of him.

On the night of her sleeping with her master, the candlelight was dim, and she did not dare to look up, so she only knew that her master was strong and powerful, but she never saw his appearance clearly.

"Thank you for your concern, Master. I am here with Fu Jin and everything is fine. But...but I haven't seen you for a long time and I am always worried about you."

Duan said this, blushing and lowering her head.

When Yinzhen saw this shy look, he suddenly thought of Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan, since the first time he met her, he had never seen her shy in front of him. It turned out that there was such a bold and frank woman in the world.

Yinzhen couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

Duan thought that Yinzhen was helpless and doting on her words, and she was delighted, thinking that men really all fell for this.

Su Peisheng saw clearly from the side that Duan had misunderstood. Yinzhen casually told Duan to take good care of the pregnancy and then left Duan's room.

There was a light on in Ulanara's room. Yinzhen stood in the corridor and watched for a while. Then he sent Su Peisheng to tell her something and went back to the front yard.

Shu Gege was fiddling with a bunch of bottles and jars in Liufang Pavilion, listening to Zijing saying that the master was invited by the concubine to visit Duan, but he only sat in Duan's room for a while and then left.

Shu Gege said lightly.

"The master is the master of this house. No one can decide where he wants to go. We just need to take care of ourselves."

After saying that, she slowly put away the bottles and jars, put the small ones inside the big ones, one inside the other, and finally put the whole pile of things into a square wooden box that was not very big.

In the end, Shu Gege only had a small bottle of something in her hand. She looked at the bottle and put it close to her body.

The seventh day of July is the Qiqiao Festival.

A decree had been issued from the palace a few days ago, requiring all princes who had already established their own households to bring their female relatives into the palace, and have the Empress lead them in begging for skills in needlework, in the hope that the Weaver Girl would teach them the ingenious craftsmanship of needlework.

According to convention, the concubine must also attend such occasions.

So on the day of the Qiqiao Festival, Nian Shilan was helped up from the bed by Songzhi at the hour of Yin.

She sat in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror unhappily.

Since she entered the palace, she has never participated in a palace banquet. She should have gone to the palace on the Dragon Boat Festival, but Yinzhen was ill and the entire Prince Yong's mansion was closed and locked. She was happy that she didn't have to go to the palace to eat cold food.

But there is no way to avoid it this time.

But she was not awake yet, and when she was not awake, she was in a bad mood, and when she was in a bad mood, she got angry at everyone she looked at.

Songzhi held a bowl of flower dew and presented it to Nian Shilan with both hands.

"Master, you got up too early today. Drink this Hundred Flowers Dew first. You won't be able to eat it after you put on makeup."

Nian Shilan took the Hundred Flowers Dew with her eyes wide open and drank it all in one gulp.

"Come on, let's get started."

Guyu and Xiaoman then began to dress up Nian Shilan. They must dress up their master to be gorgeous and eye-catching today. A beauty like their master deserves to flourish.

Nian Shilan closed her eyes and let the maid dress her. The maids in the palace knew the dressing rules in the palace and thought they would not make any mistakes, so she was very relieved.

Guyu put rouge on Nian Shilan's eyes and applied lip balm of the same color.

She combed Nian Shilan's hair into a new bun, a hairstyle she had just figured out a few days ago, and then she put on the ruby ​​head ornament from her dressing table and matched her with ruby ​​earrings.

Xiaoman brought out a rouge-colored cheongsam dress with large peony flowers embroidered on it, which looked bright and gorgeous.

When Nian Shilan was awakened by Songzhi again, when she opened her eyes, she saw a woman with delicate makeup and bright eyes in the mirror.

Xiaoman came forward with clothes in her hands, wanting to help Nian Shilan change her clothes.

Nian Shilan glanced at the clothes in Xiaoman's hands and said lightly.

"Today is a palace banquet, there is really no need to be so outstanding. Change into the pink and white embroidered one."

Songzhi was puzzled.

"Master, today is a palace banquet, and there must be many beauties. Master is so beautiful, it would be a pity if she didn't dress up exquisitely, and let others steal the limelight."

Nian Shilan knew that if she said too much, the servants would not understand, so she just said.

"After changing your clothes, you should also change your makeup. It's always better to be cautious when entering the palace for the first time."

Xiaoman hurriedly changed into the set that Nian Shilan had asked for, a newly made pink and white embroidered Manchu dress.

Guyu also took off all of Nian Shilan's hair accessories and replaced them with some jade ornaments that matched the clothes.

There was no time to change her makeup, but the colors of her clothes and hair accessories were elegant, and she looked fresh and beautiful.

Nian Shilan then slowly went out, supported by Songzhi, and Xiao Linzi followed behind her, and went to Xingfuyuan.

She had to pay her respects to Ulanara first, and then follow Ulanara into the palace in a carriage.

As Nian Shilan walked, she said to herself, We are going to meet again, Empress Defei.
