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

Chapter 4: Madam Nian Enters the Palace

After a while, it was time for Madam Nian to leave. Concubine Hua said that she wanted to buy some jewelry for Madam Nian and her nieces at home, so she took Madam Nian into the inner hall.

After entering the inner hall, Concubine Hua whispered softly to her sister-in-law, telling Madam Nian about her experiences in her previous life and the ending of the Nian family in the form of a dream, which made Madam Nian terrified.

"If my brother doesn't believe what I saw in my dream, then Shi Lan asserts that in a few days, the emperor will let him fight in the northwest."

"Don't worry, Lan'er. Even if your brother doesn't believe me, our Nian family is in its heyday. As the saying goes, when the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will wane. I will remind your brother to be careful in everything."

Madam Nian was a Buddhist and had doted on her sister-in-law. Moreover, the Nian family was now at its peak and Madam Nian was not an ignorant woman, so she took Hua Fei's words even more seriously.

"The Emperor will certainly read the letters I wrote to my brother, so there are many things that cannot be said in the letter. Sister-in-law, you must convey a few points to my brother when you go back: First, do not form a clique for personal gain or accept bribes; second, the family should buy more land in the hometown and move the Nian family's side branches back to the hometown as soon as possible; third, my brother can find the right time to resign from the Emperor and do not cling to the high position."

"Your brother is now in a high position and is favored by the emperor. It is not easy for him to get away. But don't worry, your sister-in-law will find a way to make your brother listen to what you said today. I will also manage the family's money clearly. The money I sent to the palace in the past will still be sent to you in the future. Don't worry about using it. It all comes from clean sources. Don't forget, your sister-in-law is an expert in managing household expenses."

Madam Nian's joke somewhat diluted the serious and tense atmosphere in the hall.

Anyway, the emperor's throne is not stable yet, so my brother should be entrusted with an important position.

Many things are better done slowly.

"Don't worry too much in the palace," Madam Nian lovingly tidied up Concubine Hua's messy hair, just like before.

"Take good care of yourself and get pregnant soon. Even if the Nian family loses its position in the future, you will have someone to rely on."

Speaking of children, Concubine Hua thought of the trick that Zhen Huan showed her in her previous life when she revealed the secret of Huan Yi Xiang before she left. Thinking of this, Concubine Hua's hatred for the Emperor increased a little more.

Concubine Hua took out a rose-shaped hairpin with a hollow center from her makeup box, put some Huan Yi Xiang in it, and put it on Madam Nian's bun.

"Sister-in-law, please help me find out what's the secret of this incense. I heard from the imperial physician a few days ago that sometimes a flower, a plant, or even a spice can prevent a woman from getting pregnant. Since I used this incense, I haven't gotten pregnant again..."

Huan Yi Xiang was given by the Emperor to Concubine Hua alone, and everyone in the palace knew about it, including the Nian Mansion. Madam Nian knew that Concubine Hua had doubts about the Emperor because of that dream, and it was normal. She repeatedly promised that she would find someone to investigate and act in a covert manner when she returned.

Concubine Hua did not point out that she already knew that Huanyixiang contained a large amount of musk. She wanted her brother to check it out himself. Once her brother found out, he would be more convinced of his dream.

Zhou Ninghai spread the news from outside that it was time for Madam Nian to leave the palace. Concubine Hua and Madam Nian came out from the inner room, and Songzhi and all the palace maids carried food and cloth to see Madam Nian off to the sedan chair.

Concubine Hua stood at the gate of Yiku Palace, watching her sister-in-law's sedan chair disappear around the corner of the long street.

"It's windy, Your Majesty, please go back to the palace." Songzhi said with concern.

"Songzhi, pass the message down. My family members came to see me today. I am happy. I will give two months' allowance to everyone in Yikun Palace."

"Yes," Songzhi responded happily.

In the previous life, he had made a lavish contribution to the Emperor's beauty contest and soon ran out of money. Later, in order to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday, he listened to Song Zhi and accepted bribes from outside. This move also accelerated the downfall of the Nian family.

In this life, I will follow the imperial decree and keep everything simple. The money saved should be spent on the people who deserve it.

Because she missed her family, Concubine Hua didn't eat much for dinner, which made Songzhi very anxious. She and Zhou Ninghai tried to add to the fun and make the concubine laugh. It took them a long time of sweet talk to make Concubine Hua laugh.

The emperor still didn't come in the evening, but Concubine Hua knew that the emperor must know what happened when her sister-in-law came to Yikun Palace today.

Before going to bed, Concubine Hua copied the Lotus Sutra. Seeing that her handwriting had improved, she fell asleep peacefully.

***

At noon on the day before the palace selection, Concubine Hua was taking a nap on the chaise longue. Just as she fell asleep, she heard Songzhi waking her up.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Fuhai from Jingren Palace came to ask the Queen to come over and answer her."

Hua Fei was already angry because she was woken up just after falling asleep. When she heard that it was the Queen who summoned her, she became even more dissatisfied.

After carefully thinking about her past life and remembering what the Queen had said to her the day before the palace selection, Concubine Hua asked Songzhi to prepare some top-quality supplements and go to Jingren Palace with her.

Sure enough, what the Queen said was almost the same as in the previous life.

"It's time for my sister to disturb my sister's nap."

Concubine Hua complained in her heart, knowing that you disturbed my nap but still sent someone to invite me, you are the one who is two-faced.

"It's alright, madam. Old people don't sleep much, so they can't fully understand why a young person like me likes to sleep. I wonder what's the important matter that madam wants me to come here for?"

Hua Fei saw that the Queen's face on the main seat darkened for a moment and then returned to normal.

"The draft is almost at the final round, how is my sister preparing?"

I was the one who took care of everything before and after the selection. Now that it’s over, Queen, you’ve come to care about me. You really know how to reap rewards.

Concubine Hua pulled a smug smile from her lips: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Huang Guiquan has already replied in the afternoon, saying that everything is ready. I have repeatedly warned you not to waste money. This is the instruction of the Emperor and the Empress, and I dare not disobey."

The Queen's chest rose and fell again as she listened. She had sent Jiang Fuhai to take a look this morning. The palace was really spotless except for being spotlessly clean. There were no new additions. When did Concubine Hua become so practical? Didn't she care about the Emperor's dignity the most?

The queen suppressed her fluctuating emotions and ordered someone to serve the peony rolls she had prepared for a long time.

The peony scroll that reminded Concubine Hua that Ulanara was the queen appeared again.

The Peony Scroll, Fu Zi, Zhen Huan avoiding the emperor's favor, and later gaining the emperor's favor in Yime Garden... The result of all this actually lies with herself, on this plate of Peony Scroll.

Concubine Hua gave Songzhi a look, and Songzhi, just like in her previous life, deliberately threw the Peony Scroll to the ground.

Living her life over again, Concubine Hua doesn't want to be humble to the Queen at all.

According to what she said in her previous life, Concubine Hua forced the Queen not to punish Songzhi. As expected, the Queen made a sudden move and gave her a palace maid who looked very similar to herself when she was young.

This time, Concubine Hua was not angry. Since she was given manpower, she would make good use of it.

As soon as she left Jingren Palace, the Queen, as expected, used the words "I hope that the selected girls can give birth to more children for the Emperor" to stimulate her. The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and it just happened to fall into Hua Fei's ears.

Concubine Hua lowered her head and laughed sarcastically, "Ulanara Yixiu, I am no longer the same Nian Shilan as before."

In this life, you miscalculated.

Since the Queen had given her an excuse to get angry by using her offspring, Concubine Hua planned to go down the stairs and visit Concubine Duan.

It's reasonable and reasonable.
