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

Chapter 43 Spicy Rabbit Head

Prince Guo was watching this scene from the side and was quite interested. He wondered when the arrogant Concubine Hua would be able to judge the situation so well.

When the emperor saw Concubine Hua kneeling, he felt more relieved. His woman did not take advantage of his favor and became spoiled. She also gave him a lot of face.

Hua Fei, very good too!

The emperor helped Hua Fei up and let her sit back in her seat.

The banquet entered its main topic.

The music started and the dancers came in. The music was melodious and their figures were graceful.

Concubine Hua was really relaxed. According to the trend of her previous life, after the emperor got drunk, he would go to Yime Garden and meet Zhen Huan by chance.

Without Yu Ying'er in this life, the Emperor would be able to find Zhen Huan tomorrow with that sour poem and make Zhen Huan a favorite concubine famous throughout the Forbidden City.

Thinking of this, Concubine Hua held her chin and happily drank another glass.

She was truly a good person in this life. Not only did she help the emperor preserve his pregnancy, she also acted as a matchmaker to bring the emperor and Zhen Huan together.

Oh God, you must open your eyes and see how many good things I, Nian Shilan, have done in my life, and you must bless the Nian family with peace.

Hua Fei drank cup after cup, gradually becoming drunk and her thoughts began to fly.

This is the first time that Concubine Hua gets drunk after her rebirth.

Concubine Hua looked towards the performance area in the center of the banquet with drunken eyes.

This noble lady Fucha is really good-looking, but unfortunately she is a coward. In her previous life, she was scared crazy by the story of Zhen Huan holding a human pig.

I wonder if Noble Lady Fucha has become braver in this life.

If she knew that she was reborn, would Noble Lady Fucha be so frightened that she almost died?

Hehehe, Hua Fei was thinking about her own evil tastes, and she held the wine jug and drank another glass.

After Noble Lady Fucha finished playing the song "High Mountains and Flowing Water", Yu Ying'er took the stage.

Yu Ying'er held up the shelf, raised her orchid finger, and sang the same line again: "Dreaming of the orioles singing~"

When Yu Ying'er raised her voice, all the concubines sitting there frowned.

Why this again? I never get tired of hearing it in the morning or in the evening.

Linglong, who was already restless, just wanted to go out when she heard Yu Ying'er singing "Dream in the Garden".

Concubine Hua coaxed the noisy Linglong, "Linglong, be good and listen to your mother. Concubine Hua will give you a roasted rabbit head to eat. After you eat the rabbit, we will never hear this song again."

When Concubine Hua saw Yu Ying'er's eyes rolling around and the whites of her eyes bigger than her pupils, she thought of what Songzhi had said to her before.

"My lady, I think the eyes of Yuguan women are not very pretty when they sing. They look a bit like the rabbits I caught. My lady, how about we make spicy rabbit heads for dinner?"

Songzhi watched her master getting drunker and drunker, and even started talking nonsense to Linglong. She felt very regretful and wondered why she had told Concubine Hua that Yu Ying'er looked like a rabbit.

Songzhi was anxious, but she didn't want to dissuade him too obviously for fear of disturbing the emperor. She could only quietly pull Hua Fei's sleeve and remind her in a low voice, but Hua Fei didn't care and simply ignored Songzhi's nagging.

Hua Fei thought that today's mission was over, and now she wanted to get drunk and welcome new hope for the next year.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ninghai came hurriedly from behind and whispered a few words into Hua Fei's ear, and Hua Fei sobered up instantly.

"Your Majesty, Jixiang from Concubine Duan's palace said that Concubine Duan is not feeling well and needs to summon the imperial physician." Zhou Ninghai's words revealed urgency.

Concubine Hua, who was already drunk and limp in Songzhi's arms, suddenly started and stood up.

Why is it that in this life, Concubine Duan is in trouble again!

Hua Fei had a headache when she woke up. She looked towards the main seat and saw that the Emperor's seat was empty. The Queen met Hua Fei's gaze and rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Who told you to arrange Hongmei at the banquet!

I did it on purpose, what can you do about it!

Concubine Hua also flew over with an innocent look on her face. Don’t blame me for rolling my eyes. If you want to blame someone, blame your sister’s ghost that has been haunting you. She won’t rest in peace even after her death!

I saw that the emperor had left.

Concubine Hua withdrew her gaze, pretended to be drunk, and leaned on Songzhi.

"Songzhi, I'm drunk. Please help me go out for a walk to sober up." Concubine Hua closed her eyes, gently pressed her temples, and followed Songzhi out of the palace.

After leaving the house, Concubine Hua asked Zhou Ninghai to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite Wen Shichu.

He and Songzhi ran all the way to Yanqing Palace.

In the previous life, Concubine Duan asked to see the imperial physician at the New Year’s Eve banquet, perhaps she was trying to show off her presence.

But in this life, something must have happened to Concubine Duan.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. With Songzhi's help, she quickly arrived at Yanqing Palace.

After a quick journey, Concubine Hua was already mostly sober.

"What's going on? Where is your master?" Jixiang was standing anxiously at the palace gate waiting for the imperial physician to arrive.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Hua came first.

"Empress Hua, good luck..."

"Don't worry about these empty formalities. Isn't your master in good health? Why did you receive bad news again?"

Hua Fei didn't bother to bow and greet, and walked towards Yanqing Palace.

"Madam Hua Fei, my master's cough had stopped as much since winter began, after taking Doctor Wen's medicine. But unexpectedly, his cough has become more severe in recent days.

"Your Majesty almost couldn't breathe after dinner just now. I had no choice but to come to you."

Concubine Hua walked to the bed and looked at Concubine Duan, who was pale. Her lips were bloodless and her breathing was uneven.

Concubine Hua watched Concubine Duan in pain but was helpless and could only wait for Zhou Ninghai to invite Imperial Doctor Wen over.

Taking advantage of this time, Concubine Hua looked at all the furnishings in Concubine Duan's bedroom, trying to find some clues.

"Jixiang, you and Songzhi go light two more lamps. I want to see who dares to attack your queen."

Jixiang and Songzhi went downstairs to find candles.

Concubine Duan heard the noise and slowly opened her eyes.

"I'm sorry to bother you during the New Year." Concubine Duan's voice was as thin as a thread.

When Concubine Hua heard this, she quickly sat down beside the bed and held Concubine Duan's hand.

"Every year during the New Year, we just watch some singing and dancing performances. There is nothing new about them. It's better not to watch them."

"I heard that there is a new lady with wonderful voice in the palace, who can sing Kunqu Opera very well."

Concubine Duan tried hard to cheer herself up and talk to Concubine Hua. She didn't want to see Concubine Hua's worried look.

"Don't mention it. I've been hearing the same story all day long. My ears are getting calluses. Fortunately, Jixiang invited me, otherwise I would still be at the banquet 'wandering in the garden'."

Concubine Duan wanted to laugh, but as soon as she laughed she felt pain in all her internal organs.

Concubine Hua felt very guilty when she saw Concubine Duan's painful face. If she had not forced Concubine Duan to drink a bowl of safflower that year, Concubine Duan's health would not have been so bad.

After waiting for a long time, Wen Shichu finally arrived.
