When Qi Guigui and Kang Changzai formally entered the palace to meet the queen and the concubines, Nian Shilan was able to have a good meeting with the man who was favored by the queen for his beauty.
Qi Gui is really beautiful, but it's a pity that he has such a beautiful skin.
"Okay, everyone, please get up and give me a seat."
The queen smiled and looked at the two people she had brought into the palace. They were all good-looking, especially Mr. Qi, and she was very satisfied.
"Your Majesty has always had excellent taste. When I look at my two younger sisters, it's unreal to me how beautiful they are."
Nian Shilan said sarcastically: "I just don't know when my empress has ever met these two sisters. Otherwise, how could she choose such a beautiful person?"
"The people chosen by the Emperor are naturally excellent. This is the first time I have met the two sisters today. I only heard about them from the Ministry of Internal Affairs before."
The queen didn't answer Nian Shilan's words, and then looked at the two people and said, "Starting tomorrow, you can go to bed. Your nanny will teach you the rules, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Thank you, ma'am."
Nian Shilan smiled. The queen thought that by recruiting two people, she could separate Zhen Huan and her favor. She was really thinking.
However, the emperor still gave the queen face. That night, he sent word that Qi Guiren was attending the bed, and the next day it was Kang Chang who was attending the bed, and then An Lingrong was the one.
The emperor did not go to Yikun Palace or Chengqian Palace.
Instead, one is in Cunju Hall and Yanxi Palace.
What is said outside is unpleasant.
"Mother, do you have to take care of it too?"
Songzhi said: "Now there are rumors outside that Gui Hui and An Changzai have divided the favor between you and Wan Bin, saying that they don't care about their feelings."
"Your Majesty, this was intentional."
Nian Shilan smiled with some contempt. She knew the emperor too well. The emperor liked Shen Meizhuang a little bit, but An Lingrong was just obedient. How much affection could he have?
Now the emperor just wants everyone to turn their attention to Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong, and is instead protecting Zhen Huan.
Although Songzhi didn't understand what Nian Shilan meant, she saw that Nian Shilan didn't want to explain, so she didn't ask.
However, Nian Shilan thought that since the emperor wanted to divert other people's targets, Zhen Huan could guess it, so there was nothing to worry about.
"How many months have you been married?"
Nian Shilan thought that Zhen Huan had been pregnant for a long time, and she was afraid that the queen might not be able to bear it any longer.
"Back to my wife, it's been almost 6 months."
Nian Shilan nodded. In his previous life, he had caused Zhen Huan to lose her child, so she could be considered responsible for the queen's reputation, but now she could not do that.
So I really want to know whether Zhen Huan can give birth to this child.
"Mother, the noble lady is here."
Zhou Ninghai came in and said, "Do you want to see me?"
Fang Chunyi?
What is she here for?
Nian Shilan thought for a while and said, "Pass."
"May your concubine be blessed with peace and happiness."
Fang Chunyi came in and saluted Nian Shilan with a smile.
"What's the matter?"
Nian Shilan didn't think it would be a good thing for Fang Chunyi to come over, so he didn't want to deal with it at all.
"I just thought that I haven't seen my empress for a long time, so I wanted to come over and see your empress."
Nian Shilan looked at Fang Chunyi. The childish look on his face in the past had long since faded away. Although his face still looked as innocent as before, the calculation between his eyebrows was true. It's hard to ignore.
"Really? Now that you've seen it, go back. I'm going to Shoukang Palace."
Nian Shilan was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, stood up and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Fang Chunyi smiled and pulled her arm: "Concubine, please go with your Majesty. It just so happens that I also want to see the Queen Mother."
Nian Shilan looked at Fang Chunyi and smiled in her heart.
What is this for?
"Okay, let's go then."
Nian Shilan thought that since he couldn't escape anyway, he might as well see what she wanted to do.
Not far after leaving Yikun Palace, I met Qi Guiren.
"May your concubine be blessed with peace and happiness."
Nian Shilan saw Qi Guiren leaning on the sedan chair instead, without speaking or leaving.
Qi Guiren just saluted like this, feeling extremely hateful in his heart, but he couldn't show it at all on his face.
"Sister Qi, please get up quickly. The imperial concubine is most considerate and will not embarrass you."
Fang Chunyi looked at Qi Guiren and said, "Is she the empress?"
Nian Shilan didn't even look at Fang Chunyi: "I don't know if you can be my master?"
Although Qi Guiren did not stand up, he could tell from Nian Shilan's voice that her expression must have changed.
Yes, Nian Shilan's expression changed.
"Chun Gui, Qi Gui, the new entrant into the palace doesn't understand the rules. Don't you understand too?"
When Fang Chunyi heard what Nian Shilan said, she quickly knelt down and admitted her mistake: "I know I was wrong."
"Master Qi, please get up."
Instead, Nian Shilan smiled and asked Qi Guiren to get up, but did not say anything to get Fang Chunyi up.
"Since you know you were wrong, kneel here and reflect."
Nian Shilan said with a cold face: "Mr. Qi, you can help me watch over here. She is not allowed to get up until she has knelt for two hours."
Nian Shilan sat on the sedan and did not move. She saw Fang Chunyi's innocent face: "Mother, I really know that I was wrong. Please spare me."
Nian Shilan suddenly felt that something was wrong. Chungui was not such a reckless person. He suddenly came to look for her today and said such words. Did he want to punish her?
"Do you know where you went wrong?"
"Concubines should not speculate on the queen's thoughts."
Fang Chunyi said carefully.
"It's your fault that you overstepped your bounds."
Nian Shilan thought that even if he wanted to punish her, he could not let himself get into trouble: "I didn't expect that you have been in the palace for so long, but you are still so unruly. In this case, I will punish you to go back and copy the female rules a hundred times."
When Fang Chunyi heard Nian Shilan's punishment, there was a trace of surprise on her face, but she quickly covered it up.
She didn't expect that Nian Shilan would let her go like this, so she quickly thought of a way.
But how could Nian Shilan give her a chance to think too much: "Qi Guiren, you will supervise her writing, and no one else is allowed to do it for you."
After saying this, Nian Shilan left.
After walking a little further, Nian Shilan whispered something to Songzhi.
After hearing this, Songzhi turned and left.
When Nian Shilan arrived at Shoukang Palace, he told the Empress Dowager what had just happened. After that, he added, I hope they can understand the concubine's hard work.
"As a noble concubine now, it is natural for you to discipline them. You don't have to blame yourself."
The Queen Mother listened to Nian Shilan's tone and said comfortingly: "This noble man is indeed shameless. Although he is younger, he is already a concubine. How can he be so incompetent? Go and spread the Ai family's wishes. Let her shut up and think about it for a month."
"Queen Mother, there is no need to be like this."
Nian Shilan laughed in her heart when she heard the Queen Mother's words, but she still had to persuade the Queen Mother on her face.
"Don't worry. When the emperor comes, the Ai family will tell the emperor that if Chungui sings like this, he won't have to serve the emperor."
