Concubine Ji followed Nian Shilan back to Yikun Palace, and everyone else, except Xinguiren to see Princess Shuyue, returned to their own palaces.
"You never go out, what happened today?"
Nian Shilan looked at Concubine Ji holding Minghui and asked, "But what happened to Kang Changzai?"
"No, then Kang Changzai is quite honest."
Ji Bin said with a smile: "Actually, I have wanted to come and thank you for a long time, but when the queen is here, I always have to be taboo. I am afraid of causing trouble to my mother, and I am also afraid that something will happen to my fifth elder brother if he is out of my sight. "
Nian Shilan nodded and said, "My fifth brother is still young and was born prematurely, so he must be taken care of more carefully."
Neither of them spoke that clearly, but they both understood each other.
"These days, the queen has sent people to send me a lot of things. Although it is not to win over, the purpose is very clear."
Concubine Ji said: "Kang Chang Zai is a careless person. She talked a lot about the queen. She said that they are not the first batch to be sent in. There are also beautiful girls outside who are ready to be sent to the palace. .”
This year, Shilan felt it was new. Is the queen so unsure now? Can’t wait to start adding people to the palace?
"Your Majesty, you also find it incredible, don't you?"
Ji Bin smiled: "I had the same expression when I first heard about it, but I think the queen's intention may not be as simple as sharing favors."
Nian Shilan looked at Ji Bin in confusion. What she didn't understand was that she had underestimated Ji Bin before.
Ji Bin seemed to have noticed Nian Shilan's doubts, but she just smiled and did not explain her problem, but continued to talk about the queen's side.
"Your Majesty's brother, General Nian, is a famous war general. Sister Duan Fei and Sister Jing Fei are also from a family of military generals. It was easy to handle, because the queen knew that the emperor would not let all the generals join forces, so she For many years, the emperor and empress never asked about the conflict between the empress and her sister Duanfei and Jingfei. But now, although the empress and the two sisters are not on good terms, they have no grudges anymore. Instead, they have two newcomers, Wanbin and Huiguiren. Their family background is civil servants and officials."
Ji Bin's analysis was so logical that even though Nian Shilan was reborn, she had to admire her mind.
But what Nian Shilan was thinking about was, how could a concubine Ji with such a mind be unknown in her previous life?
"Your Majesty, there is no need to doubt my concubine."
After all, Ji Concubine couldn't stand Nian Shilan's gaze and said with a smile: "If I hadn't had my fifth elder brother and almost died in childbirth, I would have just wanted to live a peaceful life. What a favored family. I don’t care about you at all.”
When Nian Shilan looked at Concubine Ji, it didn't look like she was lying, but she couldn't continue to ask the reason. She could only continue the topic of the queen just now and ask: "So what do you think the queen wants to do next?"
"The ones she selected into the palace are all the daughters of military generals. Isn't it obvious that they are planning to look like the empress? But one thing is strange. I heard that the appearance of those beautiful girls is much the same as that of the concubines. There are some similarities. So I guess that she wants to find someone with a similar life experience to the empress and who is as tall as a concubine. She can divide her favors and suppress you and the concubine at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."
Ji Bin's analysis was correct, but Nian Shilan knew that she was not right about one thing, that is, the queen was not looking for someone who looked like Wan Bin, but someone who looked like Queen Chunyuan.
"You come here to talk to me about this and analyze it in detail. I think you have put in a lot of effort. It's a good reward."
Nian Shilan looked at Concubine Ji and said: "Since you just want to live a stable life, I will keep you safe. In the following days, you can still be the same as before. You see Concubine Duan as the best example. You are so smart, you will know that you are the most blessed person if you don’t fight or rob.”
Nian Shilan seemed to be talking about concubine Ji, but actually she was talking about herself.
But Ji Bin's freedom and ease are something she can't do.
Concubine Ji looked outside with a smile, and handed Minghui to Songzhi aside: "It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
"Walk slowly."
Nian Shilan looked at Ji Bin's back and said.
"Your Majesty, I saved both my concubine's life and my fifth elder brother's life. If you are in need one day, you can take them. I, my mother and son, will not complain."
When Ji Bin said this, she didn't even look back, and she left without waiting for Nian Shilan's answer.
Nian Shilan fell into deep thought after listening to Ji Bin's words.
Songzhi did not disturb her and hurriedly sent Princess Minghui back to rest.
When she came back, Nian Shilan asked her to pass on Zhou Ninghai.
"Find a few trustworthy people to check what happened before Concubine Ji entered the palace."
The more Nian Shilan thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Even if Ji's concubine had such a character of not fighting or grabbing, it didn't mean that her previous life had not been revealed at all.
And she didn't pay attention before. Today she took a closer look at Ji's concubine. She seemed to be different from the person in her previous life. She had the same appearance, but there was something wrong with her expression.
Although it can be heard that Chu Jibin is really thinking about herself, she still has to figure out why.
An Lingrong accompanied Zhen Huan back to the palace and took out another box of Shuhen glue for Zhen Huan.
"I thought my sister might be running out of Skincare Glue, so I sent another box to her."
An Lingrong said with a smile: "However, before I use it, my sister should ask the imperial doctor to take a look at this glue, as well as the box I used before."
"What are you saying and I still can't believe you?"
Zhen Huan listened to An Lingrong and said quickly: "What is our relationship?"
"No sister,"
An Lingrong stopped Zhen Huan and said, "It is precisely because of our friendship that we asked the imperial doctor to test it. Since Lingrong does not understand pharmacology, but only knows these spices, it is inevitable that sometimes she does not know what will conflict with her sister's medicine. , so we all feel at ease after the imperial doctor takes a look. Secondly, if someone wants to use my hand to harm my sister, it will not make us feel alienated from each other, and they will have no loopholes to take advantage of. "
"Speaking of which, I've really felt a little tight in my chest recently, and I don't know what's going on."
Zhen Huan also felt that what An Lingrong said made sense, so she didn't argue anymore, but she also knew that since An Lingrong dared to say that, there must be nothing wrong with the medicine.
"Jin Xi, please go to Dr. Zhang and ask him to take a safe pulse for me."
The first day of my pregnancy was taken care of by Imperial Physician Zhang. Although sometimes I would ask Wen Shichu to come, but usually I would ask Imperial Physician Zhang.
"My Lady, you have forgotten that Dr. Zhang has left the palace with the Emperor and the Empress. How about I go and ask Dr. Wen to come?"
Jin Xi reminded warmly.
"Yes, if you look at my memory, then please invite Dr. Wen to come over."
Zhen Huan nodded and agreed.
Soon Jin Xi came over with Wen Shichu.
Zhen Huan didn't want the palace people to think that she was questioning An Lingrong, so she sent everyone in the palace away.
