"Is she here to see Shu Yue, or is she here to see me?"
Nian Shilan thought about it and didn't know what Xin Chang Zai meant.
"I came to see you. I also said that if the Queen Mother leaves and your health is okay, I will tell you that she wants to come to pay her respects."
Of course Songzhi knew about Nian Shilan's physical condition, so he wanted to tell her.
Nian Shilan looked outside and saw that it was still early. Xin Chang was probably worried about Shu Yue now.
She is pregnant, so Shu Yue's stay or stay is a problem, so Xin Chang is uneasy now.
Although Shu Yue was fostered under Nian Shilan's name, Nian Shilan did not prevent them from mother and son recognizing each other, so in comparison, Xin Changzai was afraid that Nian Shilan would no longer raise Shu Yue if she had her own child. .
"Go ahead and tell her that the Queen Mother is gone and ask her to come over. First, bring Shu Yue over."
Nian Shilan will not send Shu Yue away now.
Putting aside whether his child can be born, with Shu Yue here, the emperor will always have to think more about himself.
Moreover, since Xin Changzai can be restrained, why wouldn't he do it?
"Greetings to Concubine Hua."
As soon as Xin Chang came in, he saw Nian Shilan leaning on the bedside, waiting for him.
"Get up quickly. I can't go down to talk to you, so I'm just lying on the bed."
Nian Shilan smiled, and then asked Songzhi to put Shu Yue next to him.
Xin Changzai glanced at Shu Yue, and then said with a smile: "My concubine's family gave me some fine bird's nests. Of course, they cannot be compared with those in the concubine's palace, but they are still my thoughts. Listen. He said that my mother's pregnancy was not good, so I just wanted to see if I could relieve some of her pain."
"I'm determined."
Nian Shilan also smiled and said: "I have never given birth to a child. From now on, you have to come often and tell me some things that should be paid attention to."
"That's natural. As long as the queen doesn't mind the noisy concubine, it's fine for the concubine to come every day."
Xin Changzai quickly expressed his sincerity after listening to Nian Shilan's words.
"If you don't come here every day, I would also like to tell you."
Nian Shilan touched Shu Yue's little hand and said: "Shu Yue is still so young, and I am pregnant for two months, which is a time of instability. I am afraid that I don't have so much energy to take care of Shu Yue, so I still want to ask If you have time, it would be best if you could come every day and help me take care of Shu Yue."
"If you have time, how can I not have time? If it weren't for the empress, how could I come to the Old Summer Palace?"
Xin Chang immediately understood what Nian Shilan meant when he heard it, and was extremely excited.
"I asked you to come here because I wanted you to help take care of Shu Yue. I just wanted to be lazy."
Nian Shilan smiled and waved her hand. She did not take credit.
But in Xin Changzai's eyes, he didn't want to be too grateful, but he felt more relieved.
When Xin Changzai left, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang also came.
"We only dared to come in the afternoon because we were afraid that too many people would come in the morning and disturb the queen."
Zhen Huan said with a smile: "But I didn't expect to receive a decree from the Queen Mother at noon, saying that she was not allowed to disturb the empress. It was Sister Mei who said we wanted to try our luck, so we came here."
"Yes, we heard that the queen was pregnant, and we were worried that someone might frame her again."
Shen Meizhuang also happily held Nian Shilan's hand: "Your Majesty, I want to thank you for what happened yesterday."
"Thank me for what."
Nian Shilan smiled faintly: "I've caught up, haven't I? You two need to be more cautious when dealing with this matter. This kind of thing will only happen more or less in the future. I'm pregnant now, and I'm worried about it myself." I am too busy taking care of myself that I can’t take care of you.”
"I know."
Shen Meizhuang nodded and said, "Yesterday, Huan'er and I also talked about this matter in detail. From beginning to end, that seemingly harmless Xu agreed, how come she was there for all the songs?"
"yes."
Nian Shilan also nodded and said, "And she shouldn't be in the Old Summer Palace."
"When she provoked the emperor and me in the Qinzheng Hall before, I paid attention. The emperor must have asked her to come here specially."
Zhen Huan thought that this Xu promised to be someone from the Queen's side.
"Now that you know who the enemy is, it's better than being wary of everyone every day."
Nian Shilan comforted her, and then continued: "Tomorrow is Princess Wen Yi's birthday. I probably won't be attending. You two should be more careful."
"Mother, please take good care of yourself now and give birth to him properly. We will be careful ourselves, so you don't have to worry about us."
Shen Meizhuang said with a smile: "The Queen Mother has already made a decree that no one will disturb you, so we won't stay any longer. We will see you another day."
"Go ahead."
Nian Shilan said with a smile, and they left.
"Your Majesty, when Hui Gui came here just now, he specially brought lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar paste. He said that you like to eat it, so you can eat it later when you are hungry."
Songzhi knew that Nian Shilan and Shen Meizhuang had a good relationship, so she didn't know if Nian Shilan would want to eat it: "I'm brave, I just tasted a piece, and there is nothing like hurting the fetus in it."
Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi's sincere look and was very moved. She was trying the poison for herself.
Songzhi watched Nian Shilan look at herself, then looked at the pastry and thought for a while before saying, "However, I still don't recommend that I eat it."
"Why?"
Nian Shilan was still thinking that Shen Meizhuang would not be like this, but suddenly his face changed when he heard Songzhi's words.
"But what's wrong with snacks?"
"It seems nothing is wrong now, but I'm always worried."
Songzhi looked at Nian Shilan's appearance and consoled her, "Wasn't it the same as Concubine Duan before..."
Songzhi realized mid-sentence that the relationship between Nian Shilan and Concubine Duan was not bad now, so she fell silent.
Only then did Nian Shilan understand what Songzhi meant. Yes, just because he could trust Shenmeizhuang didn't mean he could trust others. He couldn't take any more risks.
"Okay, just as you said."
Nian Shilan nodded: "But if someone comes to send something again in the future, you can just accept it normally. Then if there is no problem, you can share it and eat it. Don't let anyone outside know."
"This slave knows."
When the queen heard that Nian Shilan was pregnant, she could still sit there, and she had long wanted to take a look. However, she didn't expect that the emperor came before she went.
That means that Nian Shilan was pregnant, so he left the affairs of the Sixth Palace to Concubine Jing.
They said they were discussing with the queen, but in fact they just informed her, and the queen had no choice but to agree.
But before the emperor left for a while, the queen mother came again and said some hard words to her. What she said was that nothing could happen to Nian Shilan's child.
