"May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."
The emperor came early. I am afraid that he had already put together the events of the past few days at Zhen Huan's place yesterday, so he came here now.
"Didn't I say you don't have to wait at the door? Concubine Jing is here too."
The emperor pulled Nian Shilan up with a smile, then looked at Concubine Jing and said, "I heard from Huang's mother that you have been helping Concubine Hua deal with the affairs of the Sixth Palace these days."
"Yes, I have never assisted in managing the Sixth Palace. It is Concubine Hua who is guiding me."
Feng Ruozhao didn't take any credit, so he naturally focused all the benefits on Nian Shilan.
Unexpectedly, Nian Shilan also refused to acknowledge him. After all, she hadn't done much in the past few days.
"Ruozhao actually teased me."
Nian Shilan smiled and poured tea for the emperor and said: "The emperor also knows that I am impatient. Shu Yue has not been feeling well these past few days. She cried all the time. If not Ruo Zhaoyi accompanied me, maybe How many jokes are you going to make, my concubine?"
"Shilan's temperament has indeed improved a lot."
The emperor took Nian Shilan's hand and said, "I know that I have wronged you these days."
It seems that the emperor also knew that the empress was responsible for Zhen Huan's matter.
"I am not wronged, but the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Does the Emperor have to take us to the Old Summer Palace?"
Nian Shilan was not pretentious, but everyone knew what was going on.
"Yes, it's time to get ready. We'll be leaving in a few days."
"There are people cleaning the Old Summer Palace, so it's easy to get there. I just don't know how many concubines the emperor wants to bring there?"
Nian Shilan thought that since Concubine Duan came to ask, she would definitely go.
"Those with princes will naturally go, plus you two, Hui Gui and Wan Gui."
Since the emperor said there was a prince, Concubine Duan must have gone.
only....
"The Queen has been in poor health recently. Is she also with you?"
Nian Shilan asked tentatively.
"No, Huang's mother is not in good health either. It's just right for the queen to stay with her."
As soon as the emperor said these words, Nian Shilan felt relieved.
Their trip here was not short, and since the queen was not here, Shenmeizhuang was safer.
Nian Shilanke still remembers that Shen Meizhuang had a false pregnancy in the Old Summer Palace.
When the queen heard the news that the emperor would not let her go to the Old Summer Palace, she went to see the Queen Mother first.
"Empress Huang, you have to make the decision for me."
The queen knelt down as soon as she entered.
Naturally, the Queen Mother also knew that the Emperor did not allow the Queen to follow him to the Old Summer Palace, but the Queen Mother was wrong about what happened before, and the Queen Mother could not say anything.
But it is somewhat unjustifiable for the mother of a country not to follow the emperor to the palace. The queen is from the Uranala clan, isn't this a slap in their face?
"Okay, you are the second in the palace, and you are not young anymore. How can you cry so much."
The Queen Mother said calmly: "I rarely went to the Old Summer Palace in the past, but I want to visit it this year. The Ai family will go and tell the emperor in the evening. However, you have to restrain yourself when you get to the Old Summer Palace. If you do it again If something happens, don't blame the Ai family for not helping you."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
The Queen didn't listen to the Queen Mother's words at all. After all, she was her blood relative.
On the day of departure for the Old Summer Palace, Nian Shilan saw the queen helping the queen mother walk out from a distance.
Looking at them, Nian Shilan knew that they were going together, and she was just a little more wary.
Now that Nian Shilan is in charge of the Sixth Palace, he naturally has a lot to do when he arrives at the Old Summer Palace. But although she didn't go to Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, she still sent someone to remind them.
But Nian Shilan didn't expect the queen to move so quickly, and Zhen Huan came in the afternoon.
"Sister Wan is here, sit down quickly."
Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan's expression, and her heart skipped a beat. What happened?
"Songzhi, go and tell everyone to disperse. No one is allowed to come to the palace without my order."
"yes."
Songzhi quickly asked everyone in the room to follow her and leave, including those around Zhen Huan.
"What's wrong?"
"Empress, something happened in Qinzheng Hall today."
Zhen Huan thought about it in the palace, but she still had to come and talk to Nian Shilan, otherwise she would really have no clue.
It turns out that when I went to Qinzheng Hall to pay my respects today, Xu agreed to be there.
She entered the palace together with Zhen Huan and the others, but she was not outstanding at all. Like Shen Meizhuang, she lived in Xianfu Palace.
Although the emperor did not like her as much as Zhen Huan and the others, the emperor remembered her for her gentleness and quietness.
When Zhen Huan went to pay her respects, Xu promised to talk about Prince Guo for no reason.
He also said that Zhen Huan met the emperor that day, and the emperor used the name of Prince Guo to get along with Zhen Huan. Have you ever heard of Prince Guo?
She asked like a joke, but the emperor listened.
As soon as Xu promised to leave, the emperor became suspicious.
"I already understand your affection for me. I just want to know when you fell in love with me."
If Zhen Huan's thoughts hadn't changed quickly and the emperor still had some trust in her, I'm afraid Zhen Huan would have gone to the cold palace by now.
After listening to Zhen Huan's words, Nian Shilan thought that this was what Cao Qinmo did in his previous life.
Using the name of the Seventeenth Master to drive a wedge between Zhen Huan and the Emperor, I didn't expect that this unknown Xu promised to do such a thing now.
"Do you suspect that someone in your palace told Xu Yaosheng about the private matter of your meeting with the emperor?"
Nian Shilan also thought about it. In her previous life, it was Huan Bi who told them about Zhen Huan's encounter with the emperor. If Huan Bi hadn't changed, it might still be her.
"I just guessed like this, but I really don't want to believe myself and the others."
Zhen Huan said a little sadly: "Although there is no evidence, there are really very few people who know about this matter. Even you and Sister Mei don't know."
"But I'm afraid only the people closest to you know about this kind of thing."
Nian Shilan reminded: "Who in your palace knows?"
"Liu Zhu was the only one who witnessed the incident at that time. Even Jin Xi only found out about it today when he heard that Xu agreed to ask about it."
Zhen Huan said helplessly: "But Liu Zhu is my dowry maid, and she grew up with me. I can trust her."
"That's what Liu Zhuxin said quickly, and accidentally said something to others. The speaker didn't say anything, but the listener meant it."
Nian Shilan didn't want to remind her too obviously: "But I still think that you should be careful about the people in your palace. After all, the only people Liu Zhu comes into contact with are the people in your palace."
