After Concubine Hua left, Liu Zhu and Huanbi went to Japan and returned to the house.
Zhen Huan could naturally see the expressions on the two people's faces, so she spoke: "Jin Xi, go and call Mr. Wen over. I have something to ask him."
"yes."
Cui Jinxi didn't think much and went out after receiving the first call.
As soon as she went out, Huanbi told all the maids in the room to go out and wait outside.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Zhu helped Zhen Huan up, and then Zhen Huan asked weakly.
"Little Master, we have to be careful about this Aunt Cui."
Liu Zhu was quick to speak, so before Huan Bi opened her mouth, she said, "My concubine talked about her outside just now."
"Liu Zhu, don't worry yet."
Seeing Zhen Huan looking at her, Huanbi quickly said: "But it's always right for us to be careful. Just now, the concubine specifically asked Aunt Cui if she had served the concubine before, and also asked her to serve the young master well. , there will be a lot of good things in the future.”
"Is there anything else?"
Zhen Huan thought that if Concubine Hua wanted to say something to her, she couldn't just say these two sentences, right?
"nothing else."
Liu Zhu replied: "My lord, everyone in the palace says that Concubine Hua is the hardest to mess with. We have to be careful."
Zhen Huan thought for a while and said: "Let's wait and see for a few days before talking. You two must remember my illness and no one can mention it."
"Yes, this slave knows."
Liu Zhu and Huan Bi said in unison.
Not long after Nian Shilan returned to the palace, the emperor came.
"I send my regards to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with peace and happiness."
Nian Shilan never thought that the emperor would come over at this time, so he didn't pack much, just wearing ordinary clothes. It's just that she has been dressing more plainly recently, no longer wearing Pingjin's bright-colored clothes, so the emperor looked a little strange.
Originally a public person, Xiaojiabiyu suddenly became more prominent, giving people an indescribable feeling.
"I haven't come to see you these past few days because of the busy schedule. Now that I have free time, I'll come over and see you."
The emperor took Nian Shilan's hand and walked into the house.
But Nian Shilan smiled and said, "I'm afraid there are more sisters in the palace now, and the emperor may have forgotten about Shilan."
"No way, I just came to see you as soon as I got some free time."
The emperor chuckled and said, "I rarely see you wearing such simple and elegant colors. Instead, you look more like you did when you were young."
"The emperor said this because he dislikes my concubine for being old?"
Nian Shilan became jealous after listening to the emperor's words: "Is it because there are so many younger sisters now that the emperor dislikes his concubines?"
"You are the only one in the palace who dares to say such things to me."
The emperor was not angry either.
Nian Shilan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to stay for lunch? I can let them prepare it."
"OK."
After listening to the emperor's words, Songzhi knew it by looking at Nian Shilan's eyes and hurried down to prepare.
"Starting today, the new sister who enters the palace can sleep with you, right?"
Nian Shilan said while pouring tea for the emperor: "I just heard that Wan Chang Zai was ill and went to see him. I heard that Wan Chang Zai had moved out to seek refuge."
"Yes, the queen has already said that she may be weak."
The emperor looked pityful.
"My concubine looks very good at Shen Guiren."
Nian Shilan smiled: "She looks like a respectful concubine back then."
"Haha, you also said that I dislike you. Your speech is much calmer now. In the past, you loved to be petty."
The emperor felt much better after hearing Nian Shilan's words.
"Yes, I am no longer young, so I miss my old days in the palace even more."
Nian Shilan said in agreement: "If you think about the past things, you don't think it's a big deal anymore."
"So you went to see Concubine Duan."
"You really can't hide anything from the Emperor."
Nian Shilan said with a smile: "After so many years, I just can't let go of that child."
Nian Shilan was still a little dazed when she talked about the child, but it just got better all of a sudden.
The emperor originally felt guilty about Nian Shilan and the child, and when he saw Nian Shilan acting like this, he felt even more guilty.
"Are you feeling lonely in the palace? Your brother will be back soon. When the time comes, I will send him to the palace to stay with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. However, I think it is not interesting to live in Yikun Palace alone. I wonder if I can ask for a reward from the Emperor. I feel that I am in love with Wan Chang. I will wait until Wan Chang is cured. , let her move in with my concubine."
Since Nian Shilan wanted to be friends with Zhen Huan and the others, he couldn't go there by himself every day. It was okay to ask her to move here first and slowly develop a relationship.
"I'm afraid you might think it's noisy. They're young and they tend to be noisy."
The emperor frowned a little. The Yikun Palace was lit with Huanyi incense every day, so how could other concubines be allowed to live there.
Speaking of Huanyixiang, the emperor suddenly remembered why he didn't smell it today.
"How come I don't smell Huanyixiang, but I ran out of it?"
Nian Shilan was stunned for a moment by the emperor's question, and then immediately responded: "There's more, but it is the emperor's reward after all. If the emperor doesn't come, I won't be willing to use it."
"I reward you, you can use it. If it is gone, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send it to you."
The emperor said it very considerately, but Nian Shilan felt even colder when she heard it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nian Shilan said with a smile: "I'm going to see if lunch is ready. We can't delay the emperor's nap."
After saying this, Nian Shilan bowed and went out.
Once outside, Nian Shilan took several deep breaths before walking to the kitchen.
Nian Shilan left here, but the emperor felt a little uncomfortable.
Over the years, Huan Yixiang has already damaged Nian Shilan's foundation. It is impossible for her to have another child. She has a much gentler personality now. Maybe she never comes here. There are not many people who get along with her in this huge palace, so she just wants to choose someone who suits her temperament among the new people who come to the palace to live with her. , this is nothing.
Forget it, wait until I go back and let the Ministry of Internal Affairs see if the musk in Huanyi Incense can be removed. After using Huanyi Incense for so many years, if I stop giving it to her all of a sudden, Nian Shilan will definitely become suspicious, and she will It's better to just let her use it and remove the musk.
So when Nian Shilan came back from the kitchen, the emperor took the initiative to talk.
"When Mrs. Zhen gets better, I will ask her to move in with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nian Shilan thought that the matter would be settled just like that, but she didn't expect that the emperor took the initiative to speak. She was naturally happy.
