The emperor listened to Nian Shilan's words, and the anger on his face was clearly visible.
But Nian Shilan has this confidence.
"Since you know your shortcomings, then go back to the palace and think about it."
The emperor waved his hand and let Nian Shilan go. This was a tacit approval of Nian Shilan's grounding, but he did not mention his demotion.
Zhen Huan watched Nian Shilan leave and wanted to speak, but Nian Shilan gave Shen Meizhuang a look, and Shen Meizhuang quickly stopped her.
After all this trouble, the emperor's good mood was gone.
The emperor watched Zhen Huan sit down again, then looked at all the concubines sitting below with different faces, and stood up one after another.
"The Queen is tired, aren't you all tired too?"
The emperor glanced at everyone and asked, "Since we are all tired, let's go back."
After saying that, the emperor took Su Peisheng and left.
The emperor did not take Liu Guiren away, and Liu Guiren didn't think anything of it, but the queen's face was extremely ugly.
As soon as Nian Shilan returned to Yi Gongkun, he immediately had the palace door closed so that no visitors could be seen.
"Mother, why are you doing this?"
Songzhi looked at Nian Shilan with some distress, and said carefully: "Liu Guiren has just come out, so the emperor is a little new to her."
When Nian Shilan listened to Songzhi's words and turned to look at Songzhi, her face was still full of anger as when she came back from the Peony Pavilion.
"Why, have you also believed my anger?"
Nian Shilan sat down as he spoke, but there was a smile on his face.
Songzhi was a little confused all of a sudden. When Zhou Ninghai was asked to stay in the palace just now, he still had a look of hatred on his face, why did he change all of a sudden?
Nian Shilan rarely looked at Songzhi's dazed look, stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek and said: "Your Majesty, I am not so stupid now. The queen tried her best to find Liu Yinyin, didn't she just want to Do you want her to cause trouble for me? I might as well just ignore them. No matter what their abilities are, if something happens to them, it won't be my fault."
"But even so, you don't have to ask to be demoted. Fortunately, the emperor didn't agree. What else would we do?"
Songzhi was still a little confused after hearing Nian Shilan's words.
Nian Shilan smiled nonchalantly: "I never wanted to continue to be this noble concubine, it's so boring."
When Songzhi wanted to say something else, Shu Yue ran in from outside.
The little girl is almost two years old. Although she can't speak fully, she can walk and run and has a cheerful personality.
"Eniang."
Nian Shilan watched Shu Yue running over and picked her up.
"Didn't I tell you to walk slowly? What if I fall?"
Nian Shilan's gentle Shu Yue said.
How could Shu Yue answer Nian Shilan? She just smiled, hugged Nian Shilan's neck, and pointed outside: "Sister."
Nian Shilan knew that the sister she was talking about was Minghui, so he hugged her and walked out.
"It just so happens that the weather is getting colder, so we don't have to go out to deal with them in the future."
Nian Shilan said this to Songzhi: "Later, ask Zhou Ninghai to go to Chengqian Palace and Xianfu Palace to ask them not to plead for me."
"This slave knows."
Nian Shilan was banned from Yikun Palace, and the Queen Mother soon found out.
After careful interrogation, the Queen Mother found out that it was because of Liu Yinyin.
No wonder.
When Liu Yinyin's unborn child died, Liu Yinyin insisted that it was Nian Shilan who was the cause of the death.
But Nian Shilan refused to admit it even to death.
Let’s not talk about whether it was true or not. On the surface, the emperor chose to believe Nian Shilan, but in fact he felt guilty for Liu Yinyin. Especially since Liu Yinyin and Chun Yuan behaved so much like each other, no one would believe it, let alone her.
"Yi Xiu has worked really hard for the power of the harem."
The Queen Mother smiled sarcastically and said to Zhu Xi, "But Shilan's approach is quite smart."
"Smart? But I heard that Concubine Hua got angry on the spot and asked for a grounding."
Zhuxi didn't understand.
"When Liu Yinyin comes out, the emperor will definitely favor her in every way. Although Shilan doesn't have to take care of her, it can avoid a lot of trouble. Moreover, Shilan probably won't be in the palace all the time."
The Queen Mother has been fighting in the harem all her life, how can she not see this clearly.
What she couldn't understand the most now was how Nian Shilan suddenly became so smart.
"Your Majesty, your temper has become much calmer now, and you are filial to the Queen Mother."
Zhuxi said: "Now the empress has two princesses by her side, so she won't be lonely even in the palace."
It could be said that everyone in the harem had their own little thoughts on this night.
Especially Liu Guiren, who was betrayed by the emperor on the first day he came out.
"I didn't think carefully about what happened today."
Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan came to Yanxi Palace overnight to comfort An Lingrong. Shen Meizhuang thought about all kinds of things that would happen, but they never thought that a nobleman they had never seen or even heard of would appear.
"It's not my fault, sister."
If An Lingrong was a little embarrassed at the banquet at first, but later when she saw Nian Shilan so excited, she figured it out.
"Even Concubine Hua is so excited today. I think this Liu Guiren was once the emperor's beloved."
An Lingrong originally just wanted to comfort Shen Meizhuang, but ignored Zhen Huan, so when she finished speaking, she saw that Zhen Huan's expression was not right.
"Sister Wan, I'm not..."
"It's okay, what you said is true."
Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong's panic and smiled, patted her hand and said, "It's just that I have wronged you today. Sister Mei has told me. Don't worry, we will definitely find a solution."
"Sister, everyone has his own destiny."
An Lingrong also smiled: "I have been thinking these days, maybe I can't enter the palace. If it weren't for you and Sister Mei on the day of the draft, I would have lost the election. So if I enter the palace now, God should It’s just for us to be together and accompany each other, so I’m also looking down on favor.”
"But what happened today is indeed a bit strange."
Shen Meizhuang looked at An Lingrong and it didn't look like he was lying, so he expressed his thoughts: "Before I came out just now, the imperial concubine sent someone to Xianfu Palace and told me not to intercede on her behalf."
"Yes, I also received the news."
Zhen Huan also nodded and said, "I'm afraid the imperial concubine has other plans."
"But no matter what the plan is, the queen is now grounded?"
An Lingrong said the key point, but he couldn't think of any other reason except that Nian Shilan had other plans.
