"Only those who had a particularly close relationship with Tong Jia at the time or were relatives knew about this matter."
Qi Yuebin didn't think it was a big deal: "Who from a high-ranking family hasn't had some dirty private affairs?"
"What happened next, what about Princess Tong Jia's child? Do you know who the child's father is?"
Although Nian Shilan had some idea, there was still no definite news.
"At that time, there were many opinions about the father of Princess Tong Jia's child, but no one doubted whether Princess Tong Jia was really pregnant."
Qi Yuebin recalled those years and said: "Back then, Ulanara Yixuan had a very good relationship with Tong Jia Yuexing, and they had frequent contacts. And Princess Tong Jia had the closest relationship with Tong Jia Yuexing, so many people thought that this child was Ulanara Yi Xuan. Maybe even Ulanara Yixuan himself felt so, so he snatched the child away from Princess Tong Jia on the day she gave birth."
Although what Qi Yuebin said was similar to what Nian Shilan found out, Nian Shilan always felt that there was something in her words and it was not as simple as that.
"Ye Guiren once told me that the Uranala tribe raised a young prince, but he didn't know who the biological father was."
Nian Shilan suddenly thought: "And the people I sent out to check it out also confirmed that this young prince is born to Princess Tong Jia."
"Ah,"
Qi Yuebin smiled: "Then why everyone died back then, but she didn't?"
"You mean?"
Nian Shilan also suddenly figured out that she was the one who disappeared to tell everyone about the characteristics of the child.
"She is just news deliberately released by Tong Jia's house."
Qi Yuebin said: "That child, if I guess correctly, is not Ulanara Yixuan's at all."
"Princess Tong Jia, is she not pregnant at all?"
Nian Shilan said in surprise.
Qi Yuebin shook his head: "No, she is pregnant."
Nian Shilan didn't know how he ended up listening to Qi Yuebin's guess, and how he got back to Yikun Palace.
Although many of Qi Yuebin said it was his own guess, Nian Shilan knew Qi Yuebin's character, and Qi Yuebin would not tell him anything without evidence.
Does that mean that what Qi Yuebin told him today is true?
The Tong Jia clan is really courageous.
"Songzhi, go call Zhou Ninghai back. There is no need to investigate Princess Tong Jia's matter."
Nian Shilan thought that if what Concubine Duan said was true, then she really wouldn't have to do anything.
Anyway, the hatred between the Tong Jia family and the Ulanala family was not small, so all he had to do was keep his brother out of the matter.
As for Ye Guiren, she didn't know much, but it also showed that she should have a relationship with the Tong Jia family.
"Your Majesty, why don't you check at this time? What about Madam?"
Songzhi didn't understand why Nian Shilan suddenly stopped checking again.
"I will go and talk to my sister-in-law. Let's just leave the next thing to the emperor. We don't have to worry about anything."
Nian Shilan didn't want to get involved in government affairs. The queen's willingness to interfere was her own business, and she wouldn't join in the fun.
But just because Nian Shilan doesn't want to get involved doesn't mean others won't pull her into trouble.
The next day, Nian Shilan received news from the northwest.
Nian Fu met a young daughter of the Tong Jia family in the northwest. Somehow they fell in love with each other, and Nian Fu asked to marry her.
How could Nian Shilan believe that meeting Tong Jia's people at this time was an accident?
And it was in the northwest, which was where the Nian family belonged. As a woman who was away from home, where could she go? To such a bitter and cold place?
"It is said that she is a concubine who is not favored, so the family does not care about her."
Songzhi said: "The eldest son was so fascinated by her that he was so fascinated that he would not marry her. But the general did not agree. The woman also said that she did not want the title of a wife and was willing to be just a concubine by the eldest son's side."
"Take a concubine before you take a wife? Tong Jia's family really has good rules."
Nian Shilan said with a cold face: "What did brother say?"
"The general naturally disagrees with what he means, so he wants the empress to send the eldest son back to the capital."
Songzhi said: "But according to what the eldest son wants, he won't leave that woman alone in the northwest."
"Okay, isn't she willing to be a concubine? Then I will give her this opportunity."
Nian Shilan smiled and said, "In a moment, you will go and deliver the message that Princess Tong Jia will enter the palace tomorrow."
"yes."
After listening to Nian Shilan's words, Songzhi went down to prepare.
"Wait a minute and then send a letter to my brother. Let him prepare to return to Beijing after receiving the letter."
After Nian Shilan finished speaking, he asked Songzhi to leave.
Mr. Tong Jia, I let you go, but you came here on your own, so you can't blame yourself.
In the evening, Nian Shilan heard that the emperor had gone to Chengqian Palace, so he took the initiative to go there with his things.
"I came here at this time. Didn't you disturb the emperor's meal?"
Nian Shilan said with a smile: "I feel uncomfortable eating in the palace alone. I thought that Sister Wan was pregnant and the food must be good, so I wanted to come over and eat some good food on Sister Wan's behalf."
"It's a coincidence that your Majesty is here. Today, the small kitchen has prepared some new dishes. I am also discussing with the Emperor who I want to invite who has not yet eaten at this time."
When Zhen Huan saw Nian Shilan coming, she knew something was wrong.
"You are always the most blessed."
The emperor also said with a smile.
When Nian Shilan saw both of them saying this, he didn't hesitate and sat down first.
"My concubine is very lucky."
Nian Shilan sat down and said, "The emperor seems very happy today?"
"Yes, there is news from the northwest that your brother has won another battle. It is estimated that he will return to the court soon."
The emperor was naturally happy. This time Nian Gengyao came back, not only to visit the capital, but also to hand over his military power.
"That would be great."
Nian Shilan was happy for a moment, but then became sad again: "But my brother is coming back, and the affairs of the Duke's Mansion have not been settled yet."
"This can't be rushed."
The emperor understood what Nian Shilan meant, and naturally the emperor didn't want to make Nian Gengyao feel uncomfortable.
"Just in time, I thought, it would have been nice for Nian Xing to come back alone with his brother. But two days ago, my sister-in-law said that it was time for me to get married when I was rich, so I kept thinking about it. I thought about it. , why not ask Nian Fu to come back with him this time, and if there is a good girl, find a marriage for him."
Nian Shilan took out the words he had thought up, and then said: "If my sister-in-law hadn't mentioned it, I would have just decided to book a concubine for him."
"Nonsense, there is no one who doesn't marry a real wife but instead takes a concubine."
After listening to Nian Shilan's words, the emperor knew that she was just joking, so he just smiled and said something to her without getting angry.
