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

Chapter 116: I was still keeping it to myself

The emperor was using the excuse of giving the empress some advice to prove in front of everyone that he was not a lustful and foolish emperor. Concubine Hua couldn't help but roll her eyes at the emperor's little tricks.

Although Emperor Cheng of Han was reviled by the world for his favoritism towards Feiyan and Hede, at least he was genuinely frank.

Unlike you, old man, who wants both.

Yongzheng took Lipin's hand and sat back in the main seat. Lipin's maid Juxiang also handed her a silk cloak in due time and the banquet continued.

After being out for a long time, Wen Yi was dressed up by the wet nurse early in the morning. Now that the one-year-old ceremony was over, he was sleeping soundly in Jingfei's arms. Jingfei felt that the following scene was not suitable for children, so she stood up and took the excuse that Wen Yi went back to catch up on his sleep, and then bowed and left.

Xin Chang looked at her daughter beside her and was a little hesitant, but thinking of what Hua Fei said before, Linglong must see the realities of the harem before she can grow up. This is a compulsory course for royal children, so she continued to sit there and did not leave early.

In this life, there was no Cao Qinmo who deliberately designed to make Zhen Huan dance the Jinghong Dance, no Concubine Duan who came specially to give Wen Yi a necklace, and she didn't even need to recite that damn "Loudong Fu" to win the emperor's sympathy, but Concubine Hua always felt that something was happening.

The banquet went on as usual, followed by some ordinary singing and dancing. Although Concubine Hua felt something was not right, she did not take it too seriously.

It was not until the banquet was about to end that Concubine Hua saw Zhen Huan returning to the banquet in a hurry.

Hua Fei felt a little strange and looked back at Zhou Ninghai behind her. Zhou Ninghai nodded slightly and Hua Fei immediately understood.

An Lingrong had been observing Concubine Li who was sitting next to the emperor. Her skin, her appearance, and her energy would make any woman fall in love with her. She would have to do some extra work when she returned home tonight and write down the recipe for the improved version of the Jixi Pills.

That night, the emperor flipped over the name card that turned out to be Lipin's.

The night of spring is too short. Xiao Xiazi, the best entertainment reporter in the harem, reports that Concubine Li has regained the favor she enjoyed three times in one night.

The next day, Lipin came out of Qinzheng Palace and went to Taohuawu to thank the queen.

"I thank you for your kindness in promoting me. If it weren't for you, I would never have made a name for myself in this harem."

"Sister, you can serve the emperor well on my behalf, which is the best reward for me. It's a pity that although sister's dance was good yesterday, it was not suitable for the scene. Fortunately, sister is very smart and performed well on the spot, and did not let down the hard work of practicing for so many days."

"Your Majesty, I understand what you said. I know who is trying to block my way."

"My sister is very smart. Well, I am tired after serving the emperor all night. I will go back to rest first. If you give birth to a prince for the emperor soon, you will be promoted to a concubine in no time. Huichun, send Lipin out for me."

After Lipin left Taohuawu, Jianqiu expressed her doubts: "My queen, are you really going to let Lipin give birth to the child?"

"It will never be possible for Concubine Li to get pregnant." The Queen said indifferently with a cold look on her face, picking up the teacup.

A woman who uses Jixi Pills will never have children in her life unless she uses my prescription.

-------------------------------------

In Qingliang Palace, Concubine Hua lay on the chaise longue with her eyes closed, letting Songzhi massage her temples.

"What is your Majesty worried about?" Songzhi asked softly. Her mistress's brows were furrowed and couldn't be smoothed no matter how hard she tried.

"Songzhi, what do you think it means for a man to admire a woman's feet?"

"Of course I like him. However, if they are not married, ordinary women will not let men see their feet."

"But those who are vying for favor like Lipin are an exception. But yesterday everyone was staring at Lipin's face. Who would just stare at her feet for no reason?" Songzhi expressed her thoughts frankly.

"Yes, you are right." Concubine Hua has had a headache since she heard Zhou Ninghai's report last night. Zhou Ninghai sent someone to follow Zhen Huan, and they happened to see Zhen Huan washing her feet by the lotus pond. She slipped and almost fell into the water.

Fortunately, Prince Guo was quick-witted and grabbed Zhen Huan and rescued her.

Prince Guo directly praised Zhen Huan's beautiful feet.

The royal brother-in-law praised his brother's concubine's beautiful feet.

The amount of information was so overwhelming that Concubine Hua's head hurt.

Concubine Hua thought of a hundred ways to take revenge on the Emperor, but she had never thought of cheating on him. In the final analysis, she was too conservative.

Now that he was sure that Prince Guo had feelings for Zhen Huan, he would have to be careful and cautious with Zhen Huan in the future.

After all, she passed away too early in her previous life, and she had no idea what happened afterwards.

If Prince Guo has feelings for Zhen Huan and Zhen Huan has no feelings for Prince Guo, and this evidence is caught by someone, the consequences will be disastrous.

Now seeing how deeply in love Zhen Huan is with the Emperor, I wonder if Zhen Huan knew that she was Chun Yuan's substitute after she passed away in her previous life.

Zhen Huan looked docile and respectful, but the self-esteem and stubbornness in her eyes could not be hidden. If she knew that she was just a substitute for someone else, she would probably break with the emperor.

God: Although you didn’t predict the plot, you have a good brain after your rebirth. It seems that you should use your brain more.

Speaking of substitutes, ever since Concubine Hua discovered that the women favored by the emperor all had more or less some of Chun Yuan's shadow, she couldn't help but think that perhaps in his previous life, the emperor also found a substitute similar to herself in the previous life.

After all, the emperor told the empress dowager that he and Shilan have been husband and wife for many years, and the emperor used the term husband and wife.

How could a man who is so well-versed in poetry and literature not understand what the words "husband and wife" mean?

If the emperor really has three points of affection for me and three points of guilt, and if I can add three points of benefits to this life, perhaps great things can be accomplished.

Anyway, my brother is about to return to the capital. After he finishes this battle, I will meet him and have a good talk with him.

Concubine Hua was thinking about everything, worrying about everything.

Soon, the sound of steady breathing was heard from the beauty couch.

When Songzhi saw that the Empress had fallen asleep, she felt more satisfied with herself. Her newly learned massage skills had indeed improved a lot. From now on, if the Empress had trouble sleeping, she would not have to take the calming soup.

God: I used some brains, but not much.
