"Is this Jigui man also pregnant?"
Speaking of Ji Guiren, Nian Shilan even smiled: "She is really powerful. She is quiet and unassuming. She is not much favored in the first place and she has a child."
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang had the same thought after listening to Nian Shilan's words. However, after all, the mother became the master of the first palace based on the son.
"Don't be discouraged, you two, you will get pregnant sooner or later."
After they left, Songzhi whispered to Nian Shilan: "Empress, this concubine was given a title just after she became pregnant. You haven't even been promoted yet."
Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi and suddenly felt that she was very cute when she was angry but dared not say anything for fear of being angry.
"What's the matter? I'm already a concubine."
Nian Shilan said nonchalantly: "Besides, isn't it a good thing for her to get this promotion? Everyone in the Sixth Palace knows how much the emperor values her pregnancy, so they ignore me. They don't look at me anymore. This palace is also safer."
Songzhi was enlightened when she heard Nian Shilan's words. Yes, everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhongcui Palace. Xu Guiren moved over again. There was quite a fuss over there.
Nian Shilan was right. Concubine Jing also moved Xu Yanyi to Zhongcui Palace specifically for Nian Shilan.
To outsiders, it seemed that Concubine Ji was pregnant, and she was the only one living in the palace, so it was okay to move Xu Guiren over.
Then Xu Yanyi moved to Zhongcui Palace and she was honest and didn't do anything extraordinary.
But Chun Changzai, who moved back to Chengqian Palace, seemed a little anxious.
Seeing that An Lingrong was already favored, she couldn't wait to gain favor in front of the emperor before she went to bed.
The emperor often went to talk to Zhen Huan, and Chun Changzai always found opportunities to go there several times. As time went by, the emperor understood what she meant.
It started to snow in December, Nian Shilan is now more than eight months old, and Songzhi now doesn't even let Nian Shilan go to the yard.
Nian Shilan was so happy when she thought about when Jiang Cheng told her a few days ago that she should be pregnant with a daughter.
Immediately, someone was sent to tell the Queen Mother and the Emperor the news.
The emperor was really happy, because he immediately made Nian Shilan the royal concubine, and the canonization ceremony was held at the same time as the full moon ceremony.
"In the past few days, I heard that someone in the Imperial Palace has presented a memorial to commend my brother?"
Although Nian Shilan never left the palace, he heard a lot of news.
"Yes. The general followed the advice of the empress and saved all expenses. Apart from a few close people, he did not meet with the important ministers and only recuperated in the palace. Many people felt that the general's style was rigorous."
Songzhi answered with a smile.
Nian Shilan thought that nothing else mattered, and it didn't matter if he commended or impeached him, as long as the emperor knew what was going on.
"By the way, my brother is celebrating the New Year in Beijing this year, and I may be giving birth again. If you have any questions then, just go to Concubine Duan."
Nian Shilan was worried that someone would be harmful to herself or her child when she gave birth, so she made an agreement with Concubine Duan early in the morning that Concubine Duan would be with her when she gave birth.
In fact, she also told Concubine Jing, but Concubine Jing was the assistant in charge of the Sixth Palace, and the end of the year was a busy time, so she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
"It's okay, Madam. Now that the general is in the capital, no one dares to cause trouble."
Although Songzhi knew that Concubine Hua's birth would not be stable, she still didn't want Nian Shilan to be anxious, so she tried her best to comfort Nian Shilan.
Nian Shilan nodded after listening to Songzhi's words, but she was still panicking.
Another month passed, and it was almost the end of the year, and Nian Shilan was about to give birth.
"Have all the rewards for the New Year's Day come down?"
Nian Shilan walked slowly in the palace, supported by Songzhi.
"They're all here. It's just that now the emperor has ordered frugal expenses, and the rewards are only half of what they are every year. But the rewards in our Yikun Palace are the same as every year."
Songzhi looked at Nian Shilan and said, "Your Majesty, you give great rewards every year. This year the general is celebrating the New Year in Beijing. Are you afraid that it won't be enough?"
"No, you also said that the emperor has ordered to save expenses, and I cannot disobey it."
Nian Shilan didn't care about this.
Before the two of them finished speaking, Feng Ruozhao arrived.
"Why are you here at this time?"
Nian Shilan saw Feng Ruozhao coming in a hurry and taking a lot of things, thinking something had happened.
"It's okay. The emperor ordered you to be frugal this year. I thought you were used to extravagance, and now you are pregnant. I was afraid that you wouldn't be used to it, so I sent you some of mine."
Feng Ruozhao looked at Nian Shilan's belly and was a little afraid that she would fall, so he quickly supported her: "Sit down for a while, be careful."
"No, take it back quickly."
Nian Shilan didn't expect that Feng Ruozhao was so heartwarming. He had treated her like this before, but she could still think of him like this now.
Nian Shilan took Feng Ruozhao's hand and said, "I am a noble concubine this year. There are quite a few. You can take it back quickly. At the end of the year, money will not be used everywhere."
"I've already brought it, how can I take it back again? And Princess Shuyue is here with you this year, so you won't have enough."
Feng Ruozhao knew about Nian Shilan and waved his hand not to take it away: "This is also the intention of Hui Gui and I. We discussed it and we are the only ones in the palace and we don't need these, so you Just take it.”
Nian Shilan also knew that she had brought everything, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take it away.
"Okay, then I will accept it and wait for my child to be born and let her recognize you as my aunt."
"That would be great."
Feng Ruozhao said happily: "Seeing that you and Concubine Duan have children, I am envious."
"There's nothing to be envious about. If you like her, just wait until she is born and you can take her back."
Nian Shilan said nonchalantly.
How dare Feng Ruozhao really ask for it, but after listening to Nian Shilan's words, he was extremely happy.
Nian Shilan was about to say something to Feng Ruozhao when he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach.
"What's wrong?"
Feng Ruozhao saw Nian Shilan's face suddenly change color and felt something was wrong.
"It hurts...it hurts..."
Nian Shilan took Feng Ruozhao's hand and couldn't speak clearly.
Feng Ruozhao, no matter how calm he was, lost his sense of caution: "Songzhi, hurry up and send someone to send the imperial doctor. I'm afraid your empress is going to give birth."
"yes."
When Songzhi heard this, he quickly asked someone to ask for the imperial doctor, and then asked Zhou Ninghai to ask for the emperor and Concubine Duan.
Feng Ruozhao and Songzhi helped Nian Shilan to lie down in the palace and talked to her.
"Relax, the doctor will be here soon. Don't be afraid, I'm here."
After all, Feng Ruozhao had never given birth to a child. Looking at Nian Shilan's appearance, he was really afraid that something would happen to her.
