This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 104: Encountering Concubine Hua and Finding Out the Truth

There was deathly silence in the Emperor and Empress' carriage.

Meanwhile, inside Hua Fei's carriage, there was as much noise as if water was boiling.

"Wow, there are so many people in the capital!"

“Wow, Empress Hua, there’s a noodle man there, Linglong wants Sun Wukong!”

"Wow, why are all the people in the capital kneeling and not moving?"

"Wow, Madam Hua, what is that Dou Shi? Linglong wants to try it."

Hua Fei: That is soy milk. Did your mother teach you to read?

"Hmm, Madam Hua, what does it say about donkeys fighting? Can donkeys fight?"

Concubine Hua: "... Linglong, be good. A princess should behave like a princess. If you stick your butt out like this and lie on the window looking outside, you will be laughed at if others see you."

At this time, Concubine Hua was still very patient.

After Hua Fei adjusted Linglong's sitting position for the thirty-seventh time, she gave up.

This child is really too noisy. How could he walk so slowly for half a day's journey?

"Empress Hua, I'm hungry and want to eat crab roe cakes."

"Empress Hua, I'm thirsty and want to drink milk tea."

"Empress Hua, is there any candy in the car? Linglong hasn't had any candy for three days."

······ ······

Concubine Hua: Not throwing Linglong down must be the greatest merit of my life.

After making a fuss for half the journey, Linglong's excitement finally passed. In addition, she got up early in the morning, and slept soundly with her little head resting on Concubine Hua's legs. Even if the carriage shook a few times, it could not wake her up.

Concubine Hua looked at the little baby on her knees, with long curved eyelashes, a white and tender face, and a few beads of sweat on her forehead. Concubine Hua fanned Linglong and patted her back rhythmically.

The little girl is still very cute when she is asleep.

Concubine Hua deliberately did not look at the things piled at the door of the carriage.

Along the way, Linglong asked Zhou Ninghai to buy a total of three Zhu Bajie masks, two Monkey King dough figurines, a set of twelve zodiac sugar figurines, three sandbags of different styles and seven katydid cages.

Concubine Hua: These things will all be sent to Concubine Xin soon. I can’t see them. I can’t see them.

Now Linglong can order Zhou Ninghai around better than herself. When Linglong calls out in her baby voice, "Eunuch Zhou, Linglong wants...", Zhou Ninghai's lame leg runs faster than a rabbit. At this time, no one can tell that Zhou Ninghai is a disabled person, his legs and feet are quite agile.

Songzhi watched Hua Fei's helpless face in the carriage, and looked at Linglong, with a smile on her face unconsciously. Her previous thoughts resurfaced in her mind: "If the queen could give birth to a daughter like the queen, life in the harem would be better."

Concubine Hua didn't think too much about it. After Linglong calmed down, she dozed off to the rhythm of the carriage. When she woke up, she had arrived at the Old Summer Palace.

Just like in the previous life, Concubine Hua lived in Qingliang Palace, Concubine Xin and Linglong lived in Yixia Pavilion which was close to Qingliang Palace, Zhen Huan lived in Bitong Academy, the Emperor lived in Qinzheng Palace, the Empress lived in Taohuawu, Shen Meiyu still lived in Xianyue Pavilion with her big belly, and An Lingrong lived in Fanying Pavilion.

The ladies of other palaces also lived in the palaces that had been cleaned in advance by the servants.

After getting off the carriage, Concubine Hua took Linglong out of the carriage.

Xin Changzai felt embarrassed that she had been hiding all the way, so she hurried forward to take Linglong and left in a flash without even taking the toys in the car.

Concubine Hua had no choice but to let Zhou Ninghai take the string of things and follow her to Qingliang Palace. After all, Yixia Pavilion was not far from Qingliang Palace, so she could come and play directly after Linglong woke up.

After sitting in the carriage all the way, Concubine Hua felt that all her bones were sore.

He asked the palace maids to go to Qingliang Palace to make arrangements first, while he took Songzhi to stroll around the nearby garden.

Songzhi supported Concubine Hua and walked along the pond. She felt her legs and feet were much more relaxed.

Zhou Ninghai followed behind him, but the key point was that this agile dog slave was now limping again.

That would have been fine, Zhou Ninghai was still holding two or three katydid cages that Linglong had just bought on the road. The eunuch who was moving the luggage was in a hurry and dropped two or three of them. Zhou Ninghai picked them up and kept carrying them.

When Concubine Hua saw Zhou Ninghai like this, she was speechless. She was another captive defeated by Linglong's innocence and cuteness.

Zhou Ninghai will have a hard time from now on.

Perhaps everyone in Yikun Palace wants to have a child of their own.

"Your Majesty must be tired from walking. Why don't you sit here and rest?" Songzhi took her handkerchief and spread it on a slightly flat rock of the rockery, then helped Concubine Hua to sit down.

Hua Fei had just sat down when she heard someone jumping down from a high place behind her.

"Who is it?" Hua Fei and Song Zhi were both shocked.

Concubine Hua stood up and looked behind her, and it turned out to be the Fourth Prince.

Only then did Concubine Hua remember that the Fourth Prince, whom the Emperor disliked, had always been living in the Old Summer Palace.

"I have disturbed Madam Hua, please forgive me."

Although the little boy in front of him said he was disturbed, his voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no sign of timidity at all.

In the previous life, Concubine Hua never even looked at the Fourth Prince because the Emperor disliked him. He was just a child born by a low-ranking palace maid, and the Emperor didn't like him, so Concubine Hua never paid any attention to him.

She would even occasionally use the Fourth Prince to provoke the Queen.

In this life, Concubine Hua and the Fourth Prince met in this way, which made Concubine Hua look at the Fourth Prince a few more times.

This child acted steadily, and there was no sign of cowardice in his words. He was much more promising than the Third Prince who was carefully taught by Concubine Qi and the Queen.

"Get up. It's so hot. Why are you here alone? Where is your wet nurse?"

Concubine Hua asked the Fourth Prince to stand up. She saw that his body seemed to be growing and the cuffs and trouser legs of his clothes were becoming slightly short.

The material of the clothes he was wearing was the same one that was popular two years ago. It was a little faded, obviously because it had been worn for a long time and washed.

But it was clean and tidy, which showed that the wet nurse who followed was quite attentive.

"I don't know where the maids have gone. I came out to play by myself."

"Look at you, you are sweating all over. Come here and let Empress Hua wipe it for you."

Even if the wet nurses and nannies were attentive, the children who were abandoned in the Old Summer Palace would probably be lazy sometimes.

The Fourth Prince showed no fear when facing Concubine Hua.

He started with the palace maids who were cleaning the palaces in the Old Summer Palace. He said that the Emperor came to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat because Concubine Hua sympathized with the difficult life of the concubines in the harem and decided to let all the concubines come to escape the heat so that they could spend the summer smoothly.

The Fourth Prince had previously heard that Concubine Hua was swift and decisive and her rule was harsh, but now he heard good things about her from the palace servants. He became curious, so today he calculated the time and wandered around Qingliang Terrace, hoping to see if he could meet Concubine Hua and find out the truth.
