Chapter 433: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 37

Prince Guo Yunli had long heard of the legend that Concubine Hua was the most beautiful and most favored concubine in the harem, but he had never seen this favored concubine in person. Today's palace banquet was the first one for the new emperor to entertain clan members since he ascended the throne, and as the emperor's best brother, Prince Guo would naturally attend.

When he first entered the venue, he felt the same banquet process as when the previous emperor was alive, and Prince Guo was bored. Although the new emperor's harem has few concubines, they are indeed each with their own merits. However, such a stereotyped beauty could not attract Prince Guo's attention until the moment when Concubine Hua entered the venue.

I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, but when I suddenly looked back, the man was in a dimly lit place.

Prince Guo looked at the woman sitting next to the emperor, completely ignoring the environment around him. All he could see was the porcelain-white, cold face and the person's bright and indifferent eyes. At this moment, Yunli felt that he had found the person he had been looking for.

It was only after she came to her senses that she realized that the person she wanted had become her brother's concubine, and their identities were the biggest gap between them in her life.

Resisting the reluctance to look away, Yunli drank the wine in disappointment, wishing he could get drunk to death, and even hoping that after getting drunk he could meet that person in his dreams.

When Nian Shilan left, Prince Guo saw it clearly. He could not suppress his inner desire and impulsively followed Nian Shilan out of the table under the influence of alcohol.

The emperor proposed to go for a walk in Yime Garden alone. Even though this was according to the queen's plan, the queen still felt unfair. She resisted the urge to stop the emperor and smiled and advised him to bring someone with him. After being rejected by the emperor, she was about to order Prince Guo to follow the emperor like she did in her previous life. When she looked up, she found that Prince Guo's seat had been vacant for a long time. She came to her senses and was about to ask Jiang Fuhai from her palace to follow him, but she saw Jianqiu suddenly step forward.

"Empress, the Emperor has already left, and Su Peisheng is following."

The smile on the queen's face froze for a moment, then returned to normal in an instant, and she asked, "Is the man in Yimei Garden ready?"

"Don't worry, madam. The maids have been training her for a month and she is ready now."

"Well, I'm confident that you can do the job. I just hope that person can help me keep the emperor, otherwise..."

In the Plum Garden, Yu Ying'er was bullied by the nanny and was sent to pick plum branches. She was working in the severe cold and cursing, when she suddenly heard a woman in a red dance costume singing and dancing in the middle of the plum garden, and in the branches opposite her, a middle-aged man in a dragon robe was quietly watching the woman dance.

"Tsk, how shameless."

Although Yu Ying'er was just a palace maid who swept the floor, she was quite smart. As soon as she saw the scene, she immediately understood what was going on.

She cursed the dancing woman for being shameless, but she was actually quite jealous. Although she suffered from the cold, she did succeed in attracting the emperor's attention. Seeing how fascinated the emperor was, it would not be long before there was another empress in the palace.

When will I become a queen? Then I won’t be bullied anymore.

Just as Yu Ying'er guessed, the emperor at this moment was indeed led into his memories by the woman dancing in the plum garden. Against the backdrop of snow and candlelight, the porcelain-white and cold face, the woman spinning in front of him, everything seemed to overlap with the figure of Chun Yuan that he first saw in his memory.

After leaving the table, Nian Shilan returned to the palace and changed into casual clothes. She didn't even take off the jewelry on her head and was in a hurry to leave the palace. She didn't even notice the little tail following her.

He arrived at the palace gate and was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by a black shadow that jumped out from the side.

"Empress Hua, this is not the place for you to be?"

Prince Guo didn't know what happened to him at that time. He originally wanted to remind Nian Shilan out of good intentions, but because of nervousness he said something threatening.

"you are?"

When did this person appear and what did he see?

"I am Prince Guo Yunli."

The shadow approached from a distance. As the distance shortened, the face of Prince Guo Yunli gradually became clearer. Nian Shilan recognized him and suddenly thought of various ways to kill him. She looked at the smile on his face warily and asked, "Why is Prince Guo following me when he is not with the emperor?"

I have been busy making the next plan recently and completely forgot that according to the plot, the first meeting in Yimei Garden is happening right now. But it stands to reason that even if I have affected the direction of part of the plot, as long as I have not deliberately destroyed it, some of the plot will still be "restored" by the world consciousness.

Why would Prince Guo follow me instead of getting to know his heroine?

"Your Highness has misunderstood. I just drank too much and left the palace early and happened to run into you. I didn't follow you on purpose." Seeing that the sweetheart he fell in love with at first sight had misunderstood him, Prince Guo could only tell lies to fool her. As for Nian Shilan's real purpose, Prince Guo had no intention of exploring it at this time.

Although Nian Shilan didn't have a deep memory of Prince Guo, she had a child with him when she was An Lingrong. As soon as she saw Prince Guo's eyes, she knew that this man had fallen in love with her again in this life.

It seems that this person doesn't only like Zhen Huan's type. He is just like the emperor. Even if it is not his favorite style, he will be attracted as long as she is beautiful enough. How boring!

Since this person said that he met me by chance, I will just treat him as that. As for the memories he discovered when he followed me before, I will make him forget them all.

In a blink of an eye, Nian Shilan had made a decision and began to release his spiritual sense in the direction of Prince Guo, intending to directly erase this man's memory of seeing him today. However, he never expected that when his spiritual sense hit Prince Guo, not only did it fail to erase his memories, but he also felt the causal connection between him and himself.

"Ok?"

How could I have any karmic connection with Prince Guo? Nian Shilan used her skills to feel it carefully, and found that Prince Guo did have a karmic connection with herself. However, it was different from the karmic connection between herself and Concubine Jing. It was not that she "owed" Concubine Jing, but Prince Guo "owed" herself.

It’s interesting. If someone owes you something, you will actually be entangled in the thread of cause and effect. It’s really interesting.

Nian Shilan thought about it carefully. She had entered the world of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" three times. She was reborn as Yixiu, Huanbi, and An Lingrong. Except for the time with An Lingrong, she had no entanglement with Prince Guo on those three occasions.

But after practicing the way of merit, Nian Shilan realized clearly that although she did not have too much entanglement with Prince Guo in the previous few times she was reborn in "Legend of Zhen Huan", his original fate of dying early because of his affair with Zhen Huan was changed. After three times, he naturally owed her karma.

Because this kind of cause and effect was not something he owed actively, but was done passively. The initiative was actually in the hands of Nian Shilan himself, so Nian Shilan, who was owed, had to bear this cause and effect.

Tsk, it seems we can’t kill Prince Guo now!

The memory cannot be erased, and killing is not an option. Helpless, Nian Shilan can only suppress her killing intent and drive him away. "Since the prince has arrived at the palace gate, I will not see him off. Goodbye!"
