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

Chapter 179: Getting so popular

An Lingrong asked Baoque to return the silk thread that Shen Meizhuang had not finished sorting to the Yanxi Palace for Baojuan to continue sorting. Just now when she came to Suiyuxuan, An Lingrong said that she forgot to take a strand of gold thread, so she asked her to go back and get it.

It's just that you don't have to come over now.

The four people just did it.

While waiting for the soup base to be prepared in the small kitchen of Sui Yuxuan, Shen Meizhuang sent Caixing to inform Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin.

An hour later, seven people and three children gathered at the gate of Yiku Palace.

"Empress Qi, I didn't expect you to come too?" Chun'er laughed like a silver bell.

"Hmph, why are you here while I can't come?" Concubine Qi reached out from her sapphire ermine cloak and stroked her temples, rolling her eyes at Concubine Chun.

"Madam Hua, open the door. Linglong is here to have dinner with you."

Concubine Hua, who was leaning on the couch in the Yiku Palace reading a storybook, jumped up in surprise when she heard Zhou Ninghai coming in to report.

"What did you say?"

"Your Majesty, right now your sons, Concubine Jing, Concubine Qi, as well as Noble Lady Hui, Noble Lady Wan, Concubine Xin, Concubine Chun, and Concubine An are standing at the gate of Yiku Palace!" Zhou Ninghai felt that the storytellers in the teahouse were not as good at announcing the names of dishes as he was at announcing people's names.

"They also brought three princesses with them." Zhou Ninghai looked at the scattered notebooks, as well as a pile of odds and ends such as melon seed shells, peanut shells, and orange peels.

Oh, and the massage and beauty jade wheel was also casually placed among a pile of storybooks.

Since New Year's Eve, Yikun Palace has often been in this state. The Queen asked Songzhi to put on beautiful makeup early in the morning, and then let her lie on the couch and start to play around, no, start to study. According to Songzhi, the Queen tried to find a way to deal with that little bitch Lingxiang from the storybook.

Zhou Ninghai felt speechless. He still needed to think of a way to deal with Ling Xiang. The queen really couldn't stand her and directly ordered him, Zhou Ninghai, to pick a dark and windy night, knock Ling Xiang unconscious and throw her into the well. Why bother with all this effort?

"My lady, should I open the door or not~"

The situation at hand is urgent.

"Open the door!"

"Wait a minute, don't open it yet!"

"Hurry up and ask Lanzhi and the other two to come in and clean up the place. Songzhi, you too, it's because I spoiled you on a daily basis, how come you ate so many snacks!"

"Songzhi, how is my rouge? Did it not fall off?"

Songzhi: Your Majesty, the snacks are for me to eat, why are you still worried about whether your rouge will fall off?

Lanzhi and Guizhi came in and quickly cleaned up the battlefield. Songzhi helped Concubine Hua back to the dressing table to touch up her makeup.

No matter when, Concubine Hua must ensure that she is the most beautiful.

"Zhou Ninghai, go and invite them in."

Concubine Hua looked at her perfect self in the makeup mirror and gave instructions to Zhou Ninghai through the beaded curtain.

"Why did it take so long to open the door?" Xin Changzai muttered to herself as she looked at Xiao Dingzi, the young eunuch guarding the gate of Yikun Palace.

"Please come in, ladies and gentlemen." Zhou Ninghai respectfully invited them in at the door.

Linglong went straight to the small kitchen to look for Lingzhi as soon as she entered the door.

Xiao Yunzi, carrying the pot, also followed Linglong's direction.

The rest of the people walked into the main hall of Yikun Palace in a mighty manner.

"We have come uninvited. Are we disturbing Concubine Hua?" Zhen Huan spoke first with a smile.

After entering the house, all the ladies took off their cloaks.

Concubine Hua walked out from the inner room swaying her figure.

"Today my Yikun Palace is very lively. The roads are slippery due to the snow, so it's hard for you to come here from other palaces."

Concubine Hua first touched Wen Yi in Concubine Jing's arms, then took Jinghe from Shen Meiyu's hands, weighed her, and found that the child was a little heavier.

"Hua... Liangliang... hug me." When Wen Yi saw his sister going into the arms of the beauty, he also twisted his body to move towards Concubine Hua.

"These two kids are so close to the Empress, which shows how well the Empress treats them~" In order to have a few more bites of food later, Chun Changzai is now trying her best to flatter the Empress.

"I haven't seen Jinghe for a long time, and this child doesn't seem to be shy." Concubine Hua felt that the little girl in her arms smelled sweet and milky.

"Seeing that you haven't left the Yikun Palace for a long time, we thought that since you wouldn't come out, we came in." The wet nurse took Wen Yi over, and Concubine Jing picked up the tea served by Lanzhi. The tea in Concubine Hua's palace has always been the best.

"Why do you keep so quiet all day? My Changchun Palace is right next door, and you don't even bother to come over to play mahjong. I can't even get together for a game." Concubine Qi rolled her eyes at Concubine Hua.

"Sister Qi Fei, with your ability to act recklessly, I dare not join in the fun." Even though Hua Fei was holding Jinghe, she naturally retorted when she heard Qi Fei retorting.

"Today we come to eat hot pot with Her Majesty. Does Her Majesty still have any osmanthus wine left from last year? Lingrong is eagerly waiting for this hot pot with you?" Shen Meizhuang also interjected.

"Yes, Madam Hua Fei, we still have the mushrooms that Miss Lingzhi prepared last time. Chun Er loves to eat them."

"And the tofu and duck blood in the spicy hot pot last time. I haven't tasted that flavor in a long time."

"Hmph, you've made me greedy just by talking about it. I won't come here to eat your food for free. Lady Wan brought chili peppers from Shu, and I brought the crystal hawthorn cake that I made yesterday. It will be just the right thing to help you digest the food after you eat too much hotpot later." Concubine Qi gestured to Cuiguo to bring the hawthorn cake.

"It's good to have a party like this today. My sister brought a pot and chili peppers, Mei'er brought lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake, and Concubine Qi brought crystal hawthorn cake."

"In that case, Lingrong is in for a treat today. The sisters have prepared food, so I will wait and eat."

"Hehe, me too." Chun Changzai shrugged with a smile.

"It seems that none of you are here to visit me, but to ask me to cook a special meal for you in the small kitchen of Yikun Palace." Hua Fei felt that when this group of people paid their respects to the Queen in the morning, they did not talk so much.

One by one, sentence after sentence, I can't even get a break.

Hua Fei knew in her heart that except for Chun Changzai, who really came to eat, the rest of these people came to see if she was okay.

I didn't expect that Nian Shilan would be so popular in this life.

It is said that a person's true character is revealed when he is down and out, and it seems to be true, although I am not down and out now.

Concubine Hua handed Jinghe to the wet nurse, and signaled Songzhi to go to the small kitchen to remind Lingzhi that more dishes should be prepared today so that there would not be enough for the people today.

"Oh, it's all the same. It's a rare occasion that so many people are gathered here today. Why don't we start a game of mahjong first?" Concubine Qi rubbed her hands excitedly, eager to try.
