As soon as Chao Gui left, the Queen Mother said, "Bring them here. I can guess why the Ai family asked you to come here."
"I'm brave, I guess the Queen Mother is speaking to the emperor about Princess Chaogui for my sake."
Nian Shilan had nothing to pretend, so he told the truth.
"The queen came yesterday to talk to the Ai family about this matter. Originally, it could be solved by letting Chao Gui's head get married, but early this morning, the emperor issued an order for Chao Gui to get married next month."
The Queen Mother looked at Nian Shilan as she spoke: "What did you say to the emperor? Or does the emperor have other ideas?"
"Queen Mother, I have said so, but I have no other ideas."
Nian Shilan said and quickly bowed to apologize.
"If there is selfishness, then I must have it. I have two daughters. After hearing about Princess Chaogui, I know that this is inevitable. Everything is focused on government affairs. But if there is a slight possibility, I I also want to help a bunch of Chao Gei. Not for anything else, just because if one day my daughter has to marry far away, there will be someone who can help her speak a word."
The Queen Mother sighed after listening to Nian Shilan's words. As a mother, Nian Shilan would have such thoughts.
"You also said that the government is the most important thing in everything, so you should know that the Qing Dynasty cannot fight wars now. Even if your brother can guarantee victory, we cannot send troops under the current situation."
Although the Queen Mother was persuaded by Nian Shilan, she was even more afraid that Nian Shilan would ask the emperor to let the Nian family go to war in order to help Chao Gei.
If he had won, Gengyao's military achievements would have been even greater that year.
"Queen Mother, I have been wronged."
Nian Shilan knew that the queen didn't know what she and the emperor had said, and would only rely on her own guesses to complain to the queen mother. However, as a queen, she would not speak so frankly, so Nian Shilan could not blame the queen.
"I just told the emperor that Inge Khan was old, and I heard that Inge Khan was seriously ill, so I just suggested that the emperor postpone the princess's wedding. How could I do this for Do you want to influence the emperor with your own preferences? The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. If this matter did not involve the princess's harem, I would not talk too much. "
The Queen Mother didn't expect Nian Shilan to think so, so she asked her to stand up.
"You should get up first, Aijia didn't expect you to think so."
"The princess is in her prime. If she marries Inge Khan, her life will be ruined. Moreover, according to Jungar custom, if the Khan dies suddenly, then our princess will marry the new Khan as a concubine. I know that I have no control over the princess’ marriage to Zhun Geer, but I also want to try my best to find a good man for the princess.”
What Nian Shilan said was sincere, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but be moved when she heard it.
"I just thought of the two of them through Chao Gei. I really can't bear it."
After hearing what Nian Shilan said, the Queen Mother had no doubts about her.
The Queen Mother pulled Nian Shilan to her side, patted Nian Shilan's hand and said, "If you think so, the Ai family will feel relieved. Since ancient times, marriages have been inevitable. You have a daughter. , Aijia naturally understands your feelings. Although Chaogui is not Aijia’s biological child, after all, Aijia has been with Aijia for so many years, and Aijia cannot bear to ruin her life. You have done a good job. "
"The Queen Mother doesn't blame me for talking too much."
Nian Shilan was now completely relieved: "I just want to do my best for the princess. If something happens to my daughter in the future, I hope someone will worry more about them."
"When Minghui and Shu Yueyi reach old age, the Ai family will find a good marriage for them and try their best to keep them by your side."
The Queen Mother also knew that what she said might not be useful, but with the Queen Mother's words, Nian Shilan felt a lot more comfortable.
Nian Shilan and his two children stayed in Shoukang Palace for a day and returned to the palace near evening.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has turned over your sign and will come over in the evening."
When Zhou Ninghai saw that Nian Shilan was back, he quickly told her what the emperor was going to do in the evening.
The emperor has not been to Yikun Palace for many days. In the past few days, the emperor has been there in An Chang. It seems that it is only a matter of time before An Lingrong is named a nobleman.
Sometimes Nian Shilan is really tired of dealing with the emperor. When the emperor doesn't come to her, Nian Shilan is happy and free.
But the emperor was coming, and she had to see him. She could only ask Songzhi to order the small kitchen to prepare more of the emperor's favorite dishes.
Nian Shilan was waiting for the emperor to have dinner in the palace, but the emperor didn't come after waiting around, so she felt a little strange.
"Zhou Ninghai, go to the Yangxin Hall and see if the emperor is still busy."
What Nian Shilan actually wanted to say was that if the emperor went to another palace, she would not wait and eat it herself.
But when Zhou Ninghai came back from Yangxin Hall, he said that the emperor was busy meeting with the ministers and it was not over yet.
"But what happened?"
Nian Shilan felt something was wrong.
In the previous life, those ministers would come one after another only when they were impeaching my brother. Now my brother has nothing for them to talk about, so what are they talking about?
"I heard that Inge Khan died suddenly and a new Khan succeeded to the throne."
Zhou Ninghai said softly.
"So fast?"
Shilan really didn't expect this.
Yingge Khan suddenly died suddenly, and I am afraid that Zhun Geer's side is also unstable.
"Who is the new Khan? But the original successor?"
Nian Shilan's first reaction was the civil strife in Jungol.
"This servant doesn't know. Eunuch Su didn't say anything."
Su Peisheng didn't dare to say much about such a big thing, he just said something to make Nian Shilan feel at ease.
Moreover, the emperor was coming soon, so Nian Shilan naturally had to be prepared.
Nian Shilan thought for a while, if there was civil strife in Jungar, then Chao Gei would not have to marry as scheduled.
But if the Khan changes due to civil strife, then the agreement with the Qing Dynasty will not be voided.
If there was no civil strife in Jungar, Princess Chaogui would not have to marry as scheduled.
The new Khan succeeded to the throne and Junggar was in mourning period, so the princess could stay for at least another year.
When the emperor came, Nian Shilan had just sent the two little guys back to sleep.
"Your Majesty, are you hungry? I'm leaving the kitchen to heat up the food."
Nian Shilan never mentioned that the emperor just came, and just smiled and asked Songzhi to pass the meal.
"Can you eat it?"
Although the emperor was not particularly happy, his expression was not good.
"No, I'm not too hungry yet, so I just want to wait for the emperor to eat together."
Nian Shilan smiled and handed the emperor a handkerchief: "The emperor is very busy today."
