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

Chapter 2.0 Huan Yi Xiang

The concubines in the harem suddenly became very enthusiastic, and Yongzheng was a little overwhelmed.

The queen mother was delighted with this and hoped to have a grandson.

Yongzheng missed the quiet and peaceful harem when Concubine Hua was in charge of the six palaces.

Yongzheng was thinking about this matter in his mind. Su Peisheng reported to Nian Gengyao that he requested an audience with the emperor. When Mrs. Nian heard that Concubine Hua was ill, she became worried and specially made a few plates of snacks that Concubine Hua liked to eat and wanted to send them to Yikun Palace.

Yongzheng did not suspect anything this time. The last time Madam Nian came to the palace, he had sent someone to monitor the conversation between the two.

Concubine Hua is indeed only thinking about herself.

Nian Gengyao has been closing the door to visitors at home recently and has been much more honest.

Yongzheng waved his hand and approved it.

Inside the Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua watched Songzhi open the food box. The layers on top were all her favorite pastries, and it was obvious that the craftsmanship was from Madam Nian.

The last layer of the food box was an ebony box with a letter on it, written in Madam Nian's handwriting.

The letter contained only a few casual words, asking Concubine Hua to take care of her health and not to worry.

It is also said that General Nian has been suffering from a cough recently, and the Nian Mansion has been closed to visitors recently, just to rest and recuperate.

She also said that Hua Fei's niece had recently bought some incense and insisted on sending it to the palace for her aunt to try.

The letter also included a silver note of 20,000 taels, asking Concubine Hua not to treat herself badly in the harem.

The content of the letter was so ordinary that even the emperor could not see any problem with it.

However, Concubine Hua understood that her brother and sister-in-law had discovered that Huanyi incense contained a large amount of musk, and they believed in what she had seen in the dream, so her brother suffered from a cough and closed the door to visitors.

As for the spices in the ebony box, Concubine Hua took a careful sniff and found that the fragrance was exactly the same as the Huanyi incense.

Concubine Hua was certain that her brother and sister-in-law must have sent someone to imitate the secret recipe of Huanyi Incense, but they removed the musk that prevented women from getting pregnant and found other spices to fill the gap.

Concubine Hua ordered Songzhi to quietly put away the ebony box and replace the Huanyi incense in the palace.

He also told Songzhi to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect the Huanyi incense as usual.

In fact, Hua Fei has looked up some ancient pharmacopoeias these days. Although musk cannot make women pregnant, it also has the effects of regulating sleep, increasing immunity, and strengthening the heart and body.

No wonder I have been so healthy all these years.

Hua Fei doesn't want to have a child now, so it doesn't matter whether she uses musk or not. After inhaling it for so many years, her body has probably accumulated a lot of musk, so she can't get pregnant.

But she had to accept the kindness of her brother and sister-in-law. She also had to consider Songzhi.

Hua Fei planned to wait until the Nian family was stable, and then find a reliable family for her to marry. She couldn't get pregnant, or she would be ostracized by her husband's family.

Seeing that her brother listened to her words and the problem of Huan Yixiang was solved, Concubine Hua slept well until dawn.

Not long after, Nian Gengyao took his entire family to Qinghai to garrison.

Let’s put this aside for now.

The next day was the day when the concubines entered the palace.

Concubine Hua was thinking about the development of events in her previous life at her dressing table, and she thought Zhen Huan would soon be favored. But she didn't expect Zhou Ninghai to come in and report:

"Your Majesty, there was a fire in Chengqian Palace last night. The Queen Mother ordered a temporary change of residence for Concubine Wan, and now Concubine Wan has gone to Suiyuxuan."

Hua Fei was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that in this life, she didn't take any action, and things still developed according to the situation in the previous life. In this case, will the Nian family end up...

no, I can not.

A lot has changed in this life. It may be the Queen's decision that Zhen Huan was transferred to Shuyuxuan.

"Go and find out the cause of the fire. Do it in secret. Our Yikun Palace no longer has the power to assist the six palaces, remember this."

Zhou Ninghai agreed.

Concubine Hua also instructed Zhou Ninghai to prepare a generous gift for each new lady entering the palace.

This time, even An Lingrong was not excluded. Like Xia Dongchun, she received two pieces of brocade from Suzhou and a small box of jewelry.

"No matter how good Concubine Hua's things are, they can't compare to those of the Empress. Tomorrow I'll use the fabric that the Empress gave me to make a new dress. When the whole palace comes to see me, I can wear it to express my gratitude."

The sun was shining brightly in the courtyard of the Yanxi Palace. Xia Dongchun smiled ostentatiously and spoke in a sarcastic manner to An Lingrong, who was sitting in the shadows of the Lezhi Hall.

After listening to Concubine Hua's teachings, Zhou Ninghai has become much more restrained recently.

The scheming father-in-law hasn't done anything evil for a long time.

Hearing Xia's arrogance, he deliberately slowed down his pace and listened to a few more words.

"How can you deserve the same reward as me? The Concubine Hua is really sick and confused. You don't need so much reward just for your promise. Cuiguo, send the box of jewels to my room."

Cuiguo hesitated and stepped forward, stammering. She felt that this was wrong, but she dared not disobey her master.

Seeing Cuiguo hesitating, Xia Dongchun rushed forward and snatched the box from the table.

"This is the reward given to our young master by Concubine Hua. How can you just take it away?" Baojuan stepped forward and held Xia Dongchun's arm tightly.

An Lingrong was so angry that her body was shaking. She stood up and wanted to protect Baojuan but she didn't have the strength.

She originally thought that she was the last one to agree and would not be rewarded. Unexpectedly, Concubine Hua had not forgotten her.

Seeing that a servant dared to stop her, Xia Dongchun was so angry that she raised her hand to slap him.

In an instant, the expected slapping sound did not appear.

An Lingrong looked up and saw a green python robe that was conspicuous.

Xia Dongchun looked back and saw that it was Zhou Ninghai from Yikun Palace who stopped him.

"You are a rootless thing, how dare you stop me?"

Xia Dongchun pushed Zhou Ninghai aside and acted like a master.

"I dare not." Zhou Ninghai bent down and hid the deep hatred in his eyes.

"Mrs. Xia, be reasonable in everything. Concubine Hua has rewarded each of the ladies who have just entered the palace with a piece of jewelry. Since you already have it, why bother to snatch the one that An agreed to give you?" Songzhi stepped forward to rescue Zhou Ninghai.

"I just think that An's status is low and she can't use such good things. I am thinking about the Empress Hua. How can any cat or dog be worthy of the Empress's reward?"

Xia Dongchun quietly rubbed her wrist that was pinched by Zhou Ninghai. Seeing that Zhou Ninghai and Song Zhi were not easy to deal with, she rolled her eyes, snorted at An Lingrong, turned around and twisted her waist to go back to her room.

When An Lingrong heard Xia Dongchun belittle her family background, she shrank back a little.

Just as An Lingrong was about to bow to Song Zhi and Zhou Ninghai, she was grabbed by Song Zhi.

"My lady, how can you be so polite to me? My queen hates those who are arrogant because of their family background. If Xia family comes to embarrass you again in the future, just send someone to Yikun Palace. My queen will definitely vent her anger for you."

Before entering the palace, Aunt Fangruo taught Concubine Hua that she was favored by the six palaces and was on equal terms with the Queen. She thought Concubine Hua would be a ruthless and decisive character, and a small person like herself would not be in her eyes at all.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Hua was different from the rumors spread by the palace people.

Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai returned to Yiku Palace. Songzhi described in detail the scene where Xia Changzai snatched An Ying's jewelry box, and Hua Fei rolled her jade wheels leisurely on her delicate skin, humming and laughing from her nose.

In the previous life, Concubine Hua gave Xia Dongchun a hundred lashes at the beginning, which ended Xia Dongchun's life, but it was too easy for her.

She wanted to keep such a loyal person to the Queen and use him to cause trouble for the Queen.

"Your Majesty, we haven't been out for a long time. Tomorrow, all the new ladies who have entered the palace will go to Jingren Palace to pay their respects to the Empress. Shall we?"

Songzhi sat in front of the couch and gently rubbed Hua Fei's calves, carefully observing Hua Fei's expression.

Concubine Hua glanced at Songzhi.

Concubine Hua could see through Songzhi's little thoughts at a glance.

"Then let's go pay our respects to the Queen tomorrow." Concubine Hua said slowly.

After pretending to be sick for a long time, you have to jump out from time to time, otherwise they will really think you are dead.

Songzhi happily agreed and hurriedly picked out clothes for Concubine Hua to wear tomorrow.

In this life, Concubine Hua still likes bright colors.

Bright and vigorous, with vigorous vitality.

What's more, I have lived this life again and have more respect for ghosts and gods in my heart. Wearing bright clothes may help suppress my frivolous soul.

"Your Majesty, how about wearing this tomorrow?" Songzhi said to Concubine Hua, holding a rose-red cheongsam that was as bright as rosy clouds in both hands.

When Concubine Hua saw it, she was shocked. It was the same dress as in her previous life. Is there really such a thing as cause and effect?

"This dress makes your skin look as white as snow. If you pair it with a headdress decorated with kingfisher feathers, you will surely outshine all the other beauties tomorrow."

Songzhi was busy choosing the jewelry that Concubine Hua would use tomorrow and did not notice the changes in Concubine Hua.

"Then wear this one." Hua Fei responded absentmindedly.

"Yes!" Songzhi took the Manchu dress to iron. "My queen, tomorrow you will wear the pair of jade earrings that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent you a few days ago. Although the jade color is a little light, it will look brighter with the dress."

Emerald-colored earrings with a hint of lightness······

Songzhi's words echoed in Hua Fei's ears, and Hua Fei had a flash of inspiration and wanted to grab something.

Although Songzhi felt that Hua Fei was lazy and pretending to be sick and had a leisurely time, she had not competed for favor for a long time. After a long time, the group of flatterers in the harem would inevitably look down on her. Tomorrow would be a good time for the master to establish her authority.
