"It's best if you understand."
Nian Shilan sighed and said, "It would be best for you to have an elder brother, so that your position will be truly stable."
"By the way, when I was in Shoukang Palace yesterday, I seemed to have heard from the Queen Mother that Concubine Qi was not doing well."
When Shen Meizhuang heard Nian Shilan mentioning his elder brother, he thought of Concubine Qi.
"What do you mean not good?"
Nian Shilan didn't hear the Queen Mother mention it.
"I don't know, but the Queen should still be there when I go, so the Queen Mother said that if Concubine Qi doesn't perform well, she won't be able to attend the night banquet in the palace."
In fact, Shen Meizhuang had not heard that Concubine Qi had any health problems, but it was impossible for the Queen Mother to say this for no reason.
Nian Shilan thought about it carefully and found that there was indeed no news that Concubine Qi was ill?
Didn’t you still embroider sachets in the palace a while ago?
Could it be that the queen did something else?
They were fighting among themselves, and Nian Shilan didn't waste much energy.
"I will inquire about her affairs, so don't worry about her."
Nian Shilan comforted Shen Meizhuang, and then Caiyue came back with snacks.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xingui is outside and wants to pay his respects to your Majesty."
Now that Shenmeizhuang is the head of Qixiang Palace, Mr. Xingui, according to his position, is going to pay his respects to Shenmeizhuang.
"Let her in."
They are all their own people, so Shen Meizhuang has nothing to do to the Xingui people.
"Concubine, please give my regards to the noble concubine, and please give my regards to the concubine Hui."
As soon as Xingui came in, he saw Nian Shilan sitting there eating snacks with Shen Meizhuang. Naturally, he wanted to pay his respects to Nian Shilan first.
"Get up."
Nian Shilan said something.
Shen Meizhuang quickly asked Caiyue to bring a stool for Mr. Xingui.
"Just come here tomorrow morning. Why are you here at this time?"
"I originally wanted to come over during the day, but I thought my wife would be busy here, so I didn't dare to come over and disturb her."
Mr. Xingui smiled and said, "I have always heard that Empress Hui is the most virtuous. It is a blessing for me to be able to live in the same palace with Empress Hui."
Nian Shilan smiled casually after hearing Xinguiren's words. No wonder Xinguiren lived so carefree in his previous life.
I thought it was because of her non-competition and non-competition character, but now that I think about it, even if she really was non-competitive and non-competitive, she was able to survive under the Queen's nose for so many years and gave birth to Shu Yue, so it must be more than that simple.
If he hadn't raised Shu Yue in this life, I'm afraid Xingui would still be like in the previous life, not getting close to anyone and not being controlled by anyone.
"From now on, when you and I live in the same palace, we will naturally live in harmony."
Shen Meizhuang said with a smile: "I don't have that many rules, and I'm pregnant now, so I can avoid all the etiquette."
"Yes, I will definitely obey."
Xingui also understands that anyone in the palace who is pregnant now wants to avoid everyone, for fear of any accidents.
Naturally, she won't rush to make others uncomfortable.
"Since the imperial concubine is here, I won't disturb the imperial concubine much. I will leave first."
Xingui came and left just as quickly. She really didn't listen to a word she shouldn't have heard, and didn't want to know anything she shouldn't know.
"Xingui is a smart person. She will not conflict with anyone if it does not harm her own interests."
Nian Shilan warned: "You should take good care of the people in Qixiang Palace."
"I understand."
Shen Meizhuang nodded to show that he understood.
It's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, all the concubines came to Shoukang Palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.
The queen took the lead and started to say some words of congratulations to the queen mother, followed by Nian Shilan.
"I wish the Queen Mother good health and a hundred years of blessings."
Nian Shilan knelt and said, "Shu Yue and Minghui also wish the imperial grandmother a long life."
What Nian Shilan said were auspicious words that children would usually say, but it was because she was so original and said it through the meaning of Shu Yue and Minghui that it actually made the Queen Mother very happy.
"Get up quickly, let Aijia see Shu Yue and Minghui."
The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Minghui was too young to speak, but Shu Yue was already old and often followed Nian Shilan to visit the Queen Mother. When she saw the Queen Mother, she ran over to her.
“King Grandmother.”
The little girl said in a sweet voice, "I wish you a long life."
Nian Shilan taught the little girl this sentence for several days, fearing that she would forget it.
Fortunately, the little girl has been talking about it these days. When she saw the Queen Mother, she hurriedly said it, fearing that she would forget it soon.
"Good boy, good boy."
The Queen Mother looked at Shu Yue and touched her face, then turned back to Zhu Xi and said, "The Ai family remembers that the Western Regions paid tribute to a pair of excellent purple jade bracelets. Go get them and give them two, one for each of them. "
"Queen Mother, you can't do that."
When Nian Shilan heard this, she was so happy that she didn't dare to show it on her face: "Purple jadeite is too precious, and they are still young."
"What are you afraid of when you are small? Just wear it when you get older."
The Queen Mother didn't care.
Nian Shilan didn't really refuse. When Shu Yue heard that there was something, he quickly said: "Thank you, Grandma Huang."
"Okay, okay."
The Queen Mother praised Shu Yue and then looked at Minghui who was hugging her. Her eyebrows looked very much like Nian Shilan's.
Nian Shilan is already very beautiful, but when Minghui grows up, she will not be worse than Nian Shilan.
"Minghui is getting older and more beautiful."
Nian Shilan was naturally happy when she heard the Queen Mother praising her daughter.
But the queen on the side was not happy.
How could the Queen Mother like just two little girls so much?
"Yes, I looked at Minghui and remembered that the emperor's favorite is our little princess."
The queen said with a smile: "But there are too few elder brothers in our palace. If concubine Hui and noble Qian can give birth to an elder brother for the emperor, it will be a great joy."
The Queen Mother glanced at the Queen and knew that she was reminding herself that people outside were still waiting to greet her, especially the two pregnant people.
"Shi Lan, take them to the back to play. Be careful not to catch a cold."
When greeting the Queen Mother, An had to sit aside and not be able to leave even after the Queen Mother had finished her greetings. However, the Queen Mother asked Nian Shilan to play with the children in the back. This was a slap in the Queen's face.
How could the Queen not know that the Queen Mother did it on purpose?
The queen mother did it on purpose. The queen is becoming more and more like a queen now. She doesn't even take herself seriously. Is she useless in her eyes? How dare she be so disrespectful.
"Yes, I have resigned first."
Nian Shilan felt happy after hearing this. She didn't want to wait here anyway. There were so many people in the back, so why not go to the back and rest.
