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

Chapter 255: I stole a glance at the group of beauties behind me

An Lingrong, Noble Lady Fucha and Concubine Chun sat together and chatted for a while before going their separate ways.

Noble Lady Fucha asked Yingtao to send the rouge notes she made to An Lingrong for her reference.

In the evening, Noble Lady Fucha wanted to write something, but she had only learned poetry and did not like it.

After thinking for a moment, she asked Cherry to prepare something.

-------------------------------------

The lights in the Yiku Palace flicker at night.

Concubine Hua was bored, so she flipped through a storybook and then let Songzhi take care of her to sleep.

The door of the woodshed in the backyard of the Yiku Palace was gently opened, and a figure suddenly flashed in. A moment later, the figure went out of the door, jumped over the wall, and disappeared without a trace.

Songzhi walked in from outside the bedroom. There was no light in the bedroom, only the moonlight shining through the window lattice, allowing people to vaguely see Songzhi's figure.

"My lady, Madam Zhang is well."

"Okay, got it. You go to sleep too." Hua Fei, lying on the bed, closed her eyes and rested. She didn't open her eyes, but slightly opened her red lips and gave a light instruction.

"Yes."

In the quiet room, the only sounds could be heard: Songzhi's footsteps as she tiptoed towards the couch, and the sound of her shoes being taken off and placed beside the couch.

Then, Songzhi slowly fell asleep on the small couch.

Ever since the emperor seldom came to Yikun Palace, it became much easier for Songzhi and the others to keep watch.

The Queen drinks little water before going to bed, never gets up in the middle of the night, and never asks for water.

Given the Empress's extremely good sleep quality, she usually sleeps all night long, and Songzhi only needs to wake up before the Empress gets up and prepare everything.

Nowadays, keeping watch in Yiku Palace is an easy job.

If it weren't for the incident with Nanny Zhang, their son in Yikun Palace would have been fast asleep by now.

The next morning, Songzhi combed Hua Fei's hair.

Concubine Hua was still sleepy, with her eyes half open and half closed, and she couldn't help yawning.

Songzhi, dress up more elegantly today, as the emperor might be back.

Songzhi was stunned for a moment, then continued to comb Hua Fei's hair with the wooden comb.

Songzhi was curious. There was no news in the palace, so how did the queen know that the emperor would come back?

Songzhi didn't say much and gave Hua Fei the kingfisher emerald headband to use today, and paired it with the jade earrings newly presented by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Zhou Ninghai had already prepared the sedan chair and asked Concubine Hua whether she wanted to pay her respects at Jingren Palace.

His master is dressed so gorgeously today, he must be going out.

"Okay, let's go." Hua Fei continued following Zhou Ninghai's words.

The sedan chair carried Concubine Hua to Jingren Palace. Before Concubine Hua got off the sedan chair, she saw the Queen and a group of concubines coming out.

The eunuchs stopped the sedan chair and Songzhi helped Concubine Hua to stand up.

The Queen stood still early, waiting for Concubine Hua to greet her first.

Hua Fei was very obedient today. She bowed to the Queen in a proper manner and said, "Good luck to the Queen."

"Get up, you've come at the right time. The emperor sent Xiao Xiazi to deliver the news first. The emperor returned to the palace early. Now my son is almost at Taihe Gate. Concubine Hua, you should go with him."

"After all, the Emperor and the Empress have a deep love for each other for many years. The Emperor will be the first to inform the Empress when he returns to the palace." Concubine Hua stood up straight and forced a smile at the Empress.

"I only just found out about it. Next time you come to pay your respects to me earlier, Concubine Hua. Naturally, you will be the first to know any news." The Queen was delighted. The sun was rising in the west, and Concubine Hua actually praised her and said good things about her.

"Well, stop standing here and wasting your time. The Emperor will be here soon."

Although the Queen rarely sees the Emperor on weekdays, she feels empty inside when the Emperor is not in the palace and is very worried.

The Queen led all the concubines towards Taihe Gate, and Concubine Hua also turned around and followed everyone.

Sure enough, not long after standing at the gate of Taihe Gate, the emperor's dragon sedan appeared before everyone.

The emperor got off the sedan chair and seemed to have changed into his dragon robe outside the palace. He did not look tired as if he had been on a long journey.

But the Queen was so excited just by seeing the Emperor's yellow figure from afar that tears welled up in her eyes.

Concubine Hua stood beside the Queen and looked at her excited and unable to control herself, and she couldn't help but frowned.

The Queen is so excited now, what will she do if she is too disappointed later? Will she vent her anger on Concubine Qi and An Lingrong again?

In addition to the Queen, Zhen Huan also had an expectant look on her face. Her pregnant belly was slightly bulging, and she was supported by Jing Xi and stood with Concubine Li.

Zhen Huan put a little makeup on her face today, giving her plain face a bit of color.

Zhen Huan herself didn't notice that her neck was stretching forward all the time. She hadn't seen the emperor for a long time and she really missed him.

In addition, Hua Fei also saw Qi Fei on the right side of the Queen quietly yawning with her handkerchief covering her face, and Shen Meizhuang next to Qi Fei had a solemn expression on her face, with no light in her eyes.

Concubine Hua remembered that once she went to Chuxiu Palace to visit Jinghe, she happened to see Doctor Wen checking the pulse of Shen Meiyu and Jinghe. At that time, Shen Meiyu's eyes were shining brightly.

At that time, Concubine Hua felt that she was overthinking.

But now looking at Shen Meizhuang's current appearance, Concubine Hua felt that she might have thought too little.

The emperor is still a small figure in front of him, and he has to walk for a while. The emperor is also, now he has arrived at the palace gate, why not let the eunuchs carry the sedan chair in, but he insists on walking such a long distance by himself.

Concubine Hua took two steps impatiently. Her legs felt sore from standing for so long. When she slowed down her pace, she noticed that Concubine Jing beside her did not look happy either.

I stared blankly ahead, not knowing where my thoughts were going.

Concubine Hua couldn't help but turn around and steal a glance at the group of beauties behind her.

Lipin touched the jewelry on her head impatiently and couldn't help shaking her legs twice. It seemed that her legs were sore from standing for too long, just like herself.

Chun Changzai was also holding her belly, her face flushed with shame and a little flustered.

It seems that Chun Chang didn't eat enough this morning and now his stomach is growling.

Look at what Xin Chang is handing Chun Chang Zai? A piece of cake!

This Xinchang has the habit of hiding cakes and pastries in her sleeves on weekdays!

Chun Changzai felt Xin Changzai secretly pulling at his sleeve, and when he looked down he saw there were cakes and pastries.

Her eyes suddenly lit up. Just as she took the cake, Chun Changzai instinctively felt that someone was looking at her. She raised her head and her eyes met Hua Fei's.

Chun Changzai felt that the cake in her hand was a little hot at this moment, and smiled awkwardly at Hua Fei.

Hua Fei raised her eyebrows, pretended not to see it, and turned her head away.

And Ling Da Ying, why is this little face so sallow? He doesn’t look very well.
