For a time, Yonghe Palace became the busiest place in the harem.
The emperor only went to the harem to see Liu Guiren for several days in a row, which aroused criticism from the Sixth Palace.
"A few days ago, the emperor was in a bad mood. I said at that time that no matter who can make the emperor happy, I will be rewarded. But I have heard a few winds in my ears in the past few days. There are always people saying that Liu How is the noble man doing?"
The queen searched for it all day, and took advantage of the large number of people who came to pay her respects in the morning to tell the story.
Liu Guiren sat there with a calm face, as if he didn't care about anything, as if the person the queen was talking about was not him.
Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, but no one speaks.
"Now that Liu Guiren is with the emperor, the emperor is in a much better mood. When the emperor is happy, I am happy. So the emperor likes Liu Guiren, which means that I like Liu Guiren. If I let you know who is saying such things behind your back, , don’t blame me for not showing mercy to you.”
What the queen said immediately made Liu Yinyin offend everyone in the harem.
Especially Mr. Qi.
She originally thought that the queen would try her best to help her last time, but she didn't expect that Liu Guiren would show up halfway.
But these days, she has long understood that this Liu Guiren was arranged by the queen.
How could she not hate Liu Yinyin when they were both under the Queen's command.
But Qi Guiren also knew that Liu Yinyin was not someone she could offend at this time, so she just kept all this silently in her heart.
"By the way, Mr. Xingui."
The queen saw that everyone was silent and was very satisfied with the effect.
When Xingui saw the queen calling him, he quickly stood up.
"Concubine is here."
"Princess Shu Yue's second birthday will be next month. Although Princess Shu Yue is raised in Yikun Palace, you are her biological mother after all. Moreover, Concubine Hua is currently grounded, and she may not be able to come out. Just go there. Go to Yikun Palace, take Shu Yue to live in your palace for a while, and then send the princess back after her first birthday party is over."
The queen had already mentioned Shu Yue's second birthday party to the emperor, and the emperor agreed to her suggestion.
After all, it took a lot of effort to lock Nian Shilan in Yikun Palace, and the queen didn't want her to come out again because of Shu Yue's affairs.
Moreover, people from Xingui were asked to take Princess Shu Yue back to live for a month, since they were mother and daughter, which would be more conducive to cultivating their relationship. If Mr. Xingui is reluctant to let go of his daughter, he will not be able to help if the request is made on his own head.
Xingui was also happy to hear the queen's words, but now she had not thought of the queen's thoughts. She was just happy to take her daughter back to her palace.
But when Xin Guiren went to Yikun Palace to tell Nian Shilan what the queen had said, Nian Shilan suddenly thought of it.
"Shu Yue has been in Yikun Palace for almost a year."
Nian Shilan said calmly: "Do you think she will adapt if you pick her up at this time?"
Although Xingui often came to see Shu Yue, Nian Shilan treated Shu Yue well, so Shu Yue naturally regarded Yikun Palace as her home.
Xingui was slightly startled after hearing Nian Shilan's words. Yes, Nian Shilan was a noble concubine, and she was just a noble. There was such a big difference in status between the two of them. How could Shu Yue get used to it when she arrived at Qixiang Palace?
And the look on Nian Shilan's face showed that she had already thought of this.
"The empress is thoughtful, but I am not thoughtful enough."
Mr. Xingui quickly apologized.
But in the end it was not her fault. The Queen asked her to take Shu Yue away, so how could she refuse?
Nian Shilan naturally wouldn't blame her, so she asked Songzhi to bring Shu Yue over.
When Shu Yue came in and saw Xin Guiren, she just called her "Ms. Xin" and then threw herself into Nian Shilan's arms.
"Eniang."
"Come to Shuyue, my mother-in-law has something to tell you."
Nian Shilan hugged Shu Yue and said, "Sister, I haven't been feeling well these days. Can you go and stay with Madam Xin for a few days?"
Although children under two years old do not speak much, they can already understand some adults.
After listening to E Niang's words, Shu Yue glanced at Xin Guiren again, and then pouted her lips as if to cry or not. Nian Shilan and Xin Guiren felt distressed when they saw this.
Just as Xingui was about to say no, she heard Nian Shilan say again: "Then, would you like to let Xin Niang Niang take you out to play? Niang Niang will prepare delicious food for you, and you can eat it when you come back in the evening."
After finishing speaking, Nian Shilan said to Xin Guiren without waiting for Shu Yue's reaction: "Just take Shu Yue back during the day and send her back when you go to bed at night."
Xinguiren didn't expect Nian Shilan to say that, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer the question.
And at this time, she also thought clearly that she was just a little noble person. The nobles in this palace are like carps crossing the river, and he is not favored by the emperor. If he takes Shu Yue back to him, Shu Yue's future future will definitely not be as good as it was with Nian Shilan.
Nian Shilan was a noble concubine, and the Nian family had military exploits. Although she was an adopted daughter, she was still raised by Nian Shilan's side.
"The queen's intention is probably to have the concubine conflict with you and take Shu Yue back."
Nian Shilan hugged Shu Yue and coaxed her, while looking at Xingui Ren, as if to say, it's good that you can still figure it out.
"If you want to take Shu Yue back, I won't stop you at all."
A strange smile appeared on Nian Shilan's lips: "If the Queen wants to use this to provoke, then she may have forgotten that even when I didn't have children, I still wanted to pamper the Sixth Palace. What's more, I now have With the two princesses by your side, even if you take Shu Yue away, you still have Minghui. The emperor will not leave Minghui to anyone to raise. So as long as I don’t want to, no one can do anything to me.”
After listening to Nian Shilan's words, Xingui finally understood why Nian Shilan was so confident. Maybe she had already expected what the queen would do, right?
And Nian Shilan does have this capital. Fortunately, he has no other small thoughts.
"Then how will the empress respond next? Although I am stupid, I am willing to do my best for the empress."
Nian Shilan didn't ask Xingui to do anything. He just put Shu Yue on the ground and let her play by herself.
"There's nothing to deal with, just take Shu Yue back as normal."
Nian Shilan looked at Shu Yue on the ground and said, "The only thing you have to understand is that since the day I raised Shu Yue, I have never stopped you from meeting each other, and I have never denied that you are her biological mother. I feel that what I can do is beyond the reach of ordinary people. It’s best if you can figure it out. If you insist on using the princess’s life as a bargaining chip, I have nothing to say.”
After speaking, Nian Shilan glanced at Xin Guiren and said, "You can take Shu Yue with you soon. I think the emperor will go to your place in the evening."
Listening to Nian Shilan's words, Xingui naturally knew that she was threatening him.
In other words, Nian Shilan didn't need to threaten her at all, because she didn't care about raising another daughter.
