Shen Meizhuang and Feng Ruozhao followed Nian Shilan back to Yikun Palace.
"Thank you very much for speaking for me just now."
As soon as he entered Shenmeizhuang in the palace, he quickly thanked him.
"Get up, what's there to thank you for? You two sit down, I have something to tell you."
Nian Shilan asked the two people to sit down, and then sent all the servants out before saying: "Ruozhao has been serving the emperor for a long time. Meizhuang, you are the most favored among the newcomers to the palace. I have the intention." Let me help you, I don’t know if you have this intention.”
Feng Ruozhao was a little confused when he heard Nian Shilan's words, but Shen Meizhuang understood.
Although she was the new one who was favored in the palace, she was inevitably jealous of others. Just like what happened today, if it weren't for Nian Shilan, then Concubine Li and Concubine Qi might have done something to them.
Nian Shilan looked at the expressions of the two people and smiled: "Ruozhao, there should be one concubine for the concubine, and I think you are the most suitable."
"I don't dare."
Feng Ruozhao knelt down quickly after hearing Nian Shilan's words.
"Okay, get up quickly."
Nian Shilan looked at Feng Ruozhao and knew that he had been frightened by him before.
"Well, what I mean is that the emperor originally wanted me to handle the New Year's Eve banquet this year, but I really don't like to move recently, so I just wanted to let you two worry about me. I don't know if you Both of you are willing to do it or not.”
There is no difference between the two of them. They should all obey Nian Shilan's orders.
But with the previous words, the two of them also knew that Nian Shilan was going to pave the way for them.
Don't say that you don't want to refuse, even if you do, Shi Lan can't be offended that year.
So after listening to Nian Shilan's words, the two of them expressed that it would be done well.
This is what Nian Shilan wants.
After talking for a while, the two of them were asked to go back and prepare.
When the emperor came to Yikun Palace for dinner in the evening, Nian Shilan found an excuse and talked about the New Year's Eve dinner.
"You've always hosted the New Year's Eve dinner, so naturally you'll be the one to host it this year."
The emperor didn't think much about it, thinking that Nian Shilan had not been in charge of the Sixth Palace recently and wanted to regain power.
Unexpectedly, Nian Shilan had a look of displeasure upon hearing the emperor's words: "Your Majesty, what you said seems to have been intentional by my concubine."
"Haha, what do you mean you did it on purpose? This is how it should be."
The emperor smiled and said: "If you don't mention it, I will forget it, and it will be the New Year again so soon."
"Yes, it's the Chinese New Year again, and I'm going to be one year older again."
Nian Shilan also smiled and poured the emperor a cup of tea: "I am no longer young now, and my energy is not as strong as before. It is time to give the newcomers some opportunities."
"My beloved concubine is talking nonsense. My beloved concubine is already old."
The emperor listened to Nian Shilan's words with heart and some comfort. Nian Shilan had become a lot gentler recently, and he fell in love with her even more.
Nian Shilan is no longer as domineering as before, but she also has her own little arrogance, and is more able to control the emperor's heart.
"Since my beloved concubine said to give newcomers some opportunities, I think Shen Guiren is good, steady and generous, and I can let her have more experience."
"I feel the same way, but Sister Shen is still a bit younger after all. I'm afraid that she may have some problems. Why not let Jingbin handle it with her? Jingbin has become much calmer over the years. , and living with Guiren Shen, it will be more convenient for the two of us to discuss it."
Nian Shilan knew that the emperor liked Shen Meizhuang recently and would definitely let her do it, so she had already thought about what to say.
The emperor looked at Nian Shilan with approval in his eyes, so before the emperor could speak, Nian Shilan continued: "I used to be young and ignorant, but now that I think about it, I have wronged my concubine after so many years. Otherwise, in the future, Her qualifications include the position of concubine now."
After speaking, she sighed.
"There are already four imperial concubine positions, and there are many vacant positions in the harem. It is not appropriate to add titles during the New Year. After the New Year, the palace will have to properly promote one's position."
The emperor looked at Nian Shilan and sighed, thinking that it was not that difficult, he spoke out immediately.
"Then I will thank the Emperor on behalf of all my sisters."
Nian Shilan said with a smile.
The next day, the emperor ordered Concubine Jing and Guiren Shen to hold a New Year's Eve palace banquet together, and everyone in the Sixth Palace knew about it.
Concubine Li asked someone to call Cao Qinmo. She originally wanted to visit Nian Shilan in Yikun Palace, but she didn't expect the palace maid to come back and say that Cao Qinmo was ill.
"It's really useless, that's all. I can go on my own."
Li Bin took the people to Yikun Palace.
Nian Shilan didn't embarrass her this time and let her in at the first call.
"I would like to pay my respects to you, my concubine."
As soon as Libi entered the room, she quickly greeted Nian Shilan.
Nian Shilan glanced at her lightly: "Get up. Why did you come here by yourself today? Why didn't Cao Guiren come today?"
"Cao Guiren said he was sick, so he didn't come with us."
Concubine Li replied: "I haven't been out much recently, and my health is feeling better."
"My body has always been like this, there is nothing serious. However, I heard that you have been very diligent in going out recently."
Nian Shilan looked at Concubine Li and smiled and said, "It's really hard to come here in this palace."
"I don't have any."
Concubine Li was shocked when she heard Nian Shilan's words: "I am just bored in the palace, and Mr. Cao doesn't like to go out, so I go to various palaces to sit there."
"It's good to sit around, but you can't take everything. If you take something you shouldn't take, you have to pay the price."
Nian Shilan said what he said carelessly, but everyone could understand the meaning behind his words.
"I know I was wrong. It was Kang Luhai..."
How could Libi not know what Nian Shilan meant? She was interrupted by Songzhi just as she was about to explain.
"Your Majesty, Huanbi from Chengqian Palace came over just now. He said that Wan Changzai was not in good health and wanted you to come over and take a look."
Although Li Bin didn't know whether Songzhi's words were true or false, or whether it was a warning that Nian Shilan wanted to give herself, she had to bear with it.
"Okay, I know. You can go and talk to the imperial kitchen later. I will have lunch there in Wanchang at noon."
After speaking, he glanced at Li Bin and said: "Li Bin, you have always followed me, and you know my temper best. A Kang Lu Hai is a small matter, but what does it mean behind it, you are also aware of it. Those who know it well.”
Nian Shilan leaned back and said lazily, "I'm not that easy to deceive."
"I know I was wrong."
Li Bin was so frightened that she quickly knelt down. She had been getting closer to Concubine Qi recently, but everyone knew that Concubine Qi was the queen's person, so Nian Shilan's meaning was obvious. If she continued, that would be He is going to become an enemy of Nian Shilan.
Originally, Concubine Li had no intention of seeking refuge with the Queen. She had been with Nian Shilan for so many years, so how could the Queen treat her sincerely? But she always thought that it wouldn't be a bad thing to be more diplomatic on both sides.
