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

Chapter 150: He is the person with the best temper in the Nian family

Ever since she learned from Huang Guiquan that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was making imperial concubine's auspicious attire, Concubine Hua sent Zhou Ninghai to find out the situation.

My goodness, it turns out that the words "The people only know General Nian, but not the Emperor" came out of the mouth of that old man Zhang Tingyu.

This frightened Concubine Hua, and she immediately got a headache.

You can't ask, because if you ask, I'll tell you that it's getting colder in autumn and the autumn wind makes my head hurt.

It was not until October 14, when Nian Gengyao returned from the northwest and met the emperor in the Yangxin Palace, that Concubine Hua felt that her strength had recovered a little.

I managed to pack up and go see my brother.

"Songzhi, please ask someone to dig out the two jars of osmanthus wine that were buried in the ground of Yiku Palace last year, clean them, and I will give them to my brother later." The delicate figure of Concubine Hua was so pitiful that if she wasn't holding a piece of crab meat pastry in her hand, it would definitely be a portrait of a graceful and beautiful woman.

"Your Majesty, please eat less. You will have lunch with the Emperor and General Nian later." Songzhi advised.

"It's okay. We'll talk a lot later. I'm afraid I can't eat more than two bites. I'll eat more now to fill my stomach."

Whenever Concubine Hua thought of her brother's arrogant and domineering appearance when he dined with the emperor in her previous life, she became terrified.

Speaking of which, she is considered to be the person with the best temper in the Nian family.

Sure enough, when it was time for lunch, Su Peisheng came to Yiku Palace to invite Concubine Hua to have lunch together.

Concubine Hua and Nian Gengyao sat facing each other. Concubine Hua saw that Nian Gengyao was still in good health, but the windy and sandy northwest made people's skin black and dry, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot.

Hua Fei recalled that before her rebirth, she and her brother only saw each other from afar in the underworld. Now that they met, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat: "Brother has lost weight, so don't go to the war anymore."

Seeing his sister's tearful eyes, Nian Gengyao clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is considerate of me. I just said it as a joke. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."

"Hahahaha, you two have a deep brother-sister relationship. Concubine Hua loves you as her brother, and so do I. Come, let me toast you first."

Hua Fei's joke touched the emperor's heart. Even though his achievements surpassed his master's, Nian Gengyao had indeed suffered a lot in the northwest. After all, he was still guarding his own kingdom.

"I'm sorry for being disrespectful, Your Majesty." After hearing Nian Gengyao's hint, Concubine Hua quickly wiped away her tears and raised her glass together.

"Although there are many dishes in the palace, I don't know if they suit your taste. You can try more. If they really don't suit you, I will ask Hua Fei's small kitchen to make some for you." The emperor put down the wine cup and said to Nian Gengyao.

When Concubine Hua heard the same lines from her previous life, her tender heart suddenly hardened. Brother, you must be more alert in this life.

"How dare I accept your words, Your Majesty? It is a great favor for me to have meals with Your Majesty and Concubine Hua. Moreover, during this trip to the northwest, I ate and drank with the soldiers, and often had to eat only dry food and cold fruits for several days and nights. Now, I dare not even think about such delicious food on the battlefield."

After hearing the emperor's concern, Nian Gengyao immediately stood up from his seat and knelt before the emperor.

"Hurry up and get up! When the family is having a meal, what fun is it if you suddenly stand up and kneel down to express gratitude and apologize?" The emperor signaled Su Peisheng to help Nian Gengyao up.

"I dare not trouble you, Eunuch Su." Nian Gengyao had a leg disease, so it was easy for him to kneel down, but it was difficult for him to stand up. Nian Gengyao declined Su Peisheng's help and stood up by himself. "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Concubine Hua."

Hua Fei: Brother, did you learn this from Zhou Ninghai?

The emperor spoke politely, but his lofty imperial heart was greatly satisfied.

"This roasted lamb is tender and delicious. I love it very much. Please try it." The emperor said, pointing to a plate of lamb in front of him.

Nian Gengyao clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please start eating first."

Only after the emperor started eating did Xiao Xiazi come forward to help serve the dishes, following the exact rules.

"It is indeed delicious. Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Why are you so abiding by the rules?"

"Brother, since you have arrived in the palace, you should observe etiquette." Concubine Hua said smoothly.

"I have been on the battlefield for many years, so I may have been impolite in the palace. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."

"You have been fighting outside, doing everything yourself. Now that you are back in the capital, it is better for us to relax when we meet our own relatives."

"Although I am a military commander, I also know the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects. I must abide by the rules when I visit the palace."

"You can eat as you like. The rules are to remind the emperor and his subjects of the etiquette, not to restrict the relationship between relatives."

Nian Gengyao: You are willing to abort even your own son, how can you call him a relative?

"This bird's nest duck is delicious, you should try it too." The emperor said again.

"Yes." Nian Gengyao tasted Xiao Xia Zibu's dish and said, "It's really good. Please eat more, Madam Hua. You may have lost weight after the miscarriage. You may have lost a lot of weight now."

Although Nian Gengyao had been suppressing his temper since he met the emperor early this morning, now thinking of the suffering his sister had endured, he could no longer hold back and said something sarcastic.

"Yes, brother should use it more too." When Concubine Hua heard Nian Gengyao's concern, she pinched her palms hard under the table and said that she had held back her tears.

What's going on? Normally I don't cry even when I read a storybook, but today my tears are flowing like tap water.

The emperor directly chose to skip the topic of Concubine Hua's miscarriage.

"You took fifteen days to quell the rebellion of Lobsang Danjin. Over the past eight months, you have gradually eliminated the remaining enemy forces, helping me to stabilize the northwest and intimidate the western border. You can be considered my benefactor."

Concubine Hua was still sad, and when she heard the word "benefactor", she was so scared that her chopsticks fell to the ground.

The emperor saw Concubine Hua and Nian Gengyao, brother and sister, walk out from their seats together and kneel on the ground.

"Your Majesty, you really must have embarrassed me. I am only serving you like a slave. Those villains of Lobsang Danjin are already terrified by your great reputation. I was able to suppress the rebellion so quickly because of your pressure."

"Your Majesty really praises my brother. He has only achieved a few achievements by borrowing your power." Concubine Hua said, following Nian Gengyao's words.

The emperor looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and felt very relieved.

Then he put down his chopsticks, stood up and wanted to help Nian Gengyao and Concubine Hua up.

"Your humble servant is terrified." Nian Gengyao still knelt on the ground and could not get up.

Concubine Hua also accompanied him.

Concubine Hua: Songzhi, your master is right, isn’t he? Fortunately, I ate some more crab meat cakes before coming here, otherwise I wouldn’t have the strength to kneel.

Nian Gengyao: I regret it very much. My wife asked me to eat a few more snacks before I left, but I didn’t.
