"Hua Guifei, do you have any good ideas?"
The queen asked after listening to Nian Shilan's words.
Nian Shilan glanced at the queen and smiled: "It's not a good idea, but I think that Yingge Khan is too old, but let us, our direct princess, who is still in her prime, have no such argument."
The emperor looked at Nian Shilan and knew that she had something to say, but she didn't say it.
He knew that what Nian Shilan said was right. At Yingge Khan's age, even if Chao Gei was allowed to marry him, the Qing Dynasty would not look good.
"Let's discuss this matter later."
The emperor thought for a while and said: "I will go back to Yangxin Hall first, and you can disperse as well."
After saying that, the emperor left, but just as the emperor left, Su Peisheng came back.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come over."
"Thank you, Eunuch Su."
Nian Shilan knew that the emperor would definitely call him over, so it was not surprising at all to hear Su Peisheng's words.
"The queen, my concubine, will take her leave first."
After saying that, Nian Shilan followed Su Peisheng and left.
The queen looked at Nian Shilan's back, wondering what she was thinking, and then everyone else returned to the palace.
When Nian Shilan arrived at the Yangxin Hall, Su Peisheng opened the door for her and let her go in by herself.
"Your Majesty, good luck."
When Nian Shilan entered, she saw the emperor sitting there, waiting for her.
"Get up."
When the emperor saw Nian Shilan coming in, his expression softened a little: "You should know why I asked you to come."
"I know this."
Nian Shilan stood up and said: "I don't know if my idea is right or not. I know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but this time the matter involves the harem, so I dare to say a few nonsense."
The emperor nodded after listening to Nian Shilan's words. He never liked people in the harem who were too smart. Especially Nian Shilan. Behind her is the Nian family. He thinks what Nian Shilan said in Jingren Palace just now is very reasonable. But if her suggestion is to let Nian Gengyao lead the army, then I wouldn't agree with it either.
"As my concubine said just now, Zhun Geer asked to marry our legitimate princess. There is a precedent in the Qing Dynasty, so we can't refuse. But the age of Inge Khan is really not worthy of us using a young princess to marry him."
As Nian Shilan spoke, he looked at the emperor's increasingly impatient look and said: "I once heard my brother mention that Yingge Khan's health has become worse and worse, and Jungar has a custom that if Yingge Khan Khan Ge died suddenly, and his concubine will marry the newly succeeded Khan. If Khan Inge disappears, then our princess will have to change from a princess to someone else’s concubine. Since we We have already married a princess, so naturally we will not go to war with Jungar because of this custom, or if our Qing Dynasty really ignores it, then those border tribes will inevitably look down on us in the future."
"Why don't I know?"
Listening to Nian Shilan's words, the emperor knew that what she said was the truth, but what was the use of saying it now? He wanted to know if she had any other ideas.
"Your Majesty, I know what you are thinking. My idea is that we can marry the princess, but we must also give the princess dignity."
Nian Shilan was no longer in a daze and continued: "Inge Khan's health is failing. He probably won't survive for a month. We can delay it for a month and a half. By then, the new Khan will take over." , our princess was still the king of princesses. And the new Khan must be about the same age as the princess, which can be considered a good marriage."
Nian Shilan talked to the emperor for a long time, and Nian Shilan immediately believed him without pointing a finger at the emperor. The emperor would naturally investigate, but that was all he could do.
When Shilan returned to the palace, Songzhi quickly told her that Princess Chaogui already knew that she was going to marry Yingge Khan and made a fuss in her palace.
"She has the ability to go to the Queen to cause trouble, but it doesn't matter if she only dares to make trouble in her own palace."
Nian Shilan didn't think anything of it after hearing this. After all, didn't Chao Gei obediently marry Zhun Geer in her previous life?
In this life, I have helped her to fight for it as much as possible. As for what the emperor does in the end, it is not something that I can control.
"I heard that she has gone to Jingren Palace."
Songzhi said softly: "It's just that he hasn't come out yet."
"She is not timid yet. Although the late emperor loved her, her biological mother was only a minor concubine and was not taken seriously. Her mother's family is far away from the border. What can be done? She is not young anymore, so how can she still look at her? Don’t you know this?”
Logically speaking, Nian Shilan has nothing to do with Chao Guiben, and he doesn't need to take care of her. But when Nian Shilan thinks of Minghui, he can't bear to be more.
If her daughter encounters something like this in the future, she also hopes that someone can come forward to fight for her daughter.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is no room for maneuver regarding Princess Chaogui's marriage to Zhun Geer. Why do you have to go through this process today?"
Now Songzhi's opinion is actually the same as that of everyone in the harem, but they don't dare to ask Nian Shilan.
"I also know that Chao Gei has to marry, but I don't want to live up to the princess' age. She must marry someone similar to her."
Nian Shilan's eyes were a little hollow and she didn't know what she was thinking.
A few days later, news came from the emperor that Princess Chaogui was to marry Zhun Geer as the princess. However, the queen mother was worried about being ill, and the princess' wedding was scheduled for next month.
When Nian Shilan heard the news, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But before she could be happy, the Queen Mother sent her a message.
Nian Shilan knew that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. Although the queen mother may not necessarily know what she said to the emperor, she knew that she influenced the emperor on this matter.
"Songzhi, bring Shuyue and Minghui."
Nian Shilan had already thought about how to tell the Queen Mother, so she had nothing to worry about since the Queen Mother sent her word.
"Greetings to the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be blessed and blessed."
Nian Shilan didn't expect that Chao Gui was also in Shoukang Palace.
Seeing that Chao Gui has lost a lot of weight, I am afraid that she is sad.
"Here you go, sit down."
The Queen Mother nodded and asked people to get up: "Why did you bring the two of them out? It's freezing cold. Be careful of catching a cold."
"It's been a long time since I brought them here to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. The weather looks pretty good today, so I dare to bring them here."
Nian Shilan said and asked people to put Minghui and Shu Yue next to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother looked at the two little guys and felt better. But when she saw Chao Gei next to her, she probably understood why Nian Shilan Brought them here.
"Chao Gei, please go back first. Concubine Hua will be here to serve you."
"Yes, I will retire."
Chao Gui saluted and left.
