Nian Shilan really wanted to laugh when he heard the Queen's words. Even if the Queen Mother had something to do with the Queen, she would not let him pass the news. After all, they were a family. It can be seen that the queen really doesn't know what her purpose is, so she can only find this excuse.
"What's going on? The Queen Mother doesn't have any instructions, so you can rest assured."
Nian Shilan smiled and looked at Concubine Qi, who was admiring the flowers with the queen, and said, "I didn't expect my sister to be here too. It seems that like me, she knew that the empress was leaving the palace today, so she came here to see if she could help. .”
The queen didn't expect Nian Shilan to say that, but she wasn't stupid enough to take her words seriously.
"It's just a trip to the palace. There's nothing to clean up. Jianqiu is enough alone."
"Empress."
At this time Jianqiu came over, and the queen asked with a smile: "Is everything packed? When will the emperor set off?"
"The emperor is leaving in the morning. Just now Su Peisheng said that the emperor gave Wan Guiren a bath in the Tangquan Palace."
It's not good to follow someone when Jianqiu said it.
The queen's face didn't look good either.
It was originally a trip for her and the emperor, but now a Wan nobleman was added to the schedule. How could she feel better? Although she quickly collected her emotions, how could Nian Shilan, who had been watching her, miss this small change in her.
The queen just said "Ah", and Nian Shilan thought to herself, why is it so ordinary? Shouldn't it?
Unexpectedly, as soon as Jianqiu turned around and left, the queen stopped her.
"Jianqiu, go and tell the emperor that I am not feeling well today and cannot accompany the emperor to the palace today."
Nian Shilan listened to what the queen said and looked at her pretending to be virtuous. The ridicule on her face could hardly be concealed, but it was Songzhi who pulled her aside and distracted her.
"yes."
Jianqiu said and went down to report back.
Concubine Qi had a puzzled look on her face, and regardless of whether Nian Shilan was still here, she said directly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty bathes in the Bifeng Soup used by the Queen, and noble Wan can only bathe in the Qingluan Bath of the concubines. If you take a bath in the soup, you won’t be able to hit your empress.”
"Your Majesty is in a good mood today. Why don't I help you?"
If Nian Shilan hadn't caught the micro-expression on the queen's face before, he would have been almost convinced by her words.
"Your Majesty is truly virtuous."
Concubine Qi never forgets to flatter the queen no matter where she is.
"Yes, if this matter were replaced by a concubine, I might be very petty."
Nian Shilan smiled and laughed at himself and said: "Since the Queen has no other instructions, I will go back first."
How could the queen not hear Nian Shilan's sarcasm, but she couldn't refute it.
As soon as Nian Shilan left, Concubine Qi was about to speak, but was interrupted by the queen.
"Okay, you go back first, I'm a little tired."
After saying that, he let Eichun help him into the palace.
Nian Shilan returned to Yikun Palace and finally laughed disdainfully thinking about the queen's expression.
"Empress."
Songzhi was fanning Nian Shilan and saw that Nian Shilan didn't know what she was thinking about, so she asked aloud: "But did you think of the queen's appearance just now?"
"You've seen it all, right? It's a pity that Concubine Qi, the stupid one, can't see it."
Nian Shilan picked up a piece of crab cake and put it in his mouth and took a bite. Why is it so fishy?
"What's wrong, ma'am?"
Songzhi saw that Nian Shilan was about to vomit after taking a small bite, and quickly handed her tea.
"Nothing, I just think this is a bit fishy, so just leave it."
Nian Shilan rinsed her mouth and said, "The queen was obviously unhappy just now, but she also wanted to please the emperor. Concubine Qi rushed to ask, haha."
"Yes, but the queen's expression changes so quickly."
Seeing that Nian Shilan was in no condition, Songzhi followed Nian Shilan and continued talking about what happened just now.
"By the way, the emperor is not in the palace tonight. You can ask Hui Guiren to come to my place to play chess at night."
Nian Shilan thought that Hui Guiren might not have a good time tonight.
But unexpectedly, Songzhi did not agree: "Mother, you complained of back pain early today. You took medicine tonight, so you should go to bed early."
"All right."
Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi and smiled, but didn't insist anymore.
Early the next morning, Shen Meizhuang came to Yikun Palace early, followed by An Yao.
"Why did you come here so early?"
Nian Shilan looked at Shen Meizhuang's dark eyes and knew that she didn't sleep well last night.
"I originally went to pay my respects to the Queen with Sister An. Unexpectedly, the Queen was unwell and there was no need to pay her respects. So I came to the Empress with Sister An."
Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong bowed, and Songzhi quickly brought them tea.
"Look, there's a circle of blue under your eyes. You didn't sleep last night, okay?"
After Nian Shilan finished speaking, he glanced at An Lingrong. She had not changed much, and her makeup was quite exquisite.
An Lingrong was shocked when he heard Nian Shilan's words. Why didn't he pay attention just now?
"No, I was a little late talking to Concubine Jing yesterday."
Shen Meizhuang explained awkwardly.
An Lingrong really didn't have much discernment: "Sister Wan accompanied the emperor to the palace. She should have slept with him last night."
"Yes, it should be."
Shen Meizhuang answered.
Unexpectedly, Nian Shilan couldn't stand listening: "If you don't go to bed, are you going to go sightseeing?"
Nian Shilan's tone was not good, so he immediately interrupted An Lingrong's next words.
"Concubine, I don't have any other meaning. I just think that I am the only one who was sent out of the Heart Cultivation Palace like me."
An Lingrong said it was sad, and Shen Meizhuang was in a bad mood now. Hearing what she said, he subconsciously wanted to comfort her, but unexpectedly Nian Shilan smiled and spoke.
"Since you know it, you don't have to keep talking about it. If you can't let it go, you will inevitably be sensitive. Why bother?"
"Yeah, it will be fine next time, don't keep thinking about it."
Shen Meizhuang felt that Nian Shilan's words were reasonable. An Lingrong now kept talking about how he was sent out of the Yangxin Palace, but she didn't like to hear it anymore.
"That's what the queen said."
An Lingrong had always been humble in front of Nian Shilan, so he didn't dare to refute anything at this time.
Fortunately, Nian Shilan really didn't care about her. He greeted Songzhi with a smile and asked her to pass on the food, saying that he would let them stay for breakfast.
Shen Meizhuang and Nian Shilan's friendship didn't seem to matter, but An Lingrong couldn't stay any longer.
"Thank you for your kindness, Concubine Hua. It's just that I got up early this morning and has already eaten. I can't accompany you to breakfast."
After saying that, An Lingrong stood up and left.
"Then you go back. When Huan'er comes back, we can go and congratulate her."
Shen Meizhuang didn't force her to stay, he just said a few words and let her go.
