After listening to the emperor's words, Nian Shilan knew that the emperor didn't care, so he continued: "It's not a woman of the right age that I have not fallen in love with. Otherwise, how could I have thought of finding a concubine for him first?"
"If you hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten that when Ertai returned to Beijing to report on his work a few days ago, he said that his eldest daughter was in her prime, and he wanted to arrange a marriage for her in Beijing."
The emperor listened to Nian Shilan's words and said, "You can meet me first. If you think it's good, let Nian Fu come back so that we can settle the marriage."
When Nian Shilan heard about Ertai, he was the emperor's confidant.
Now that the emperor wanted to point Ertai's daughter to Nian Fu, what else could he not agree to?
And if the emperor decreed a marriage, what else could Tong Jia have to say?
"The daughter of Mr. Ertai must be good. I am afraid that my daughter will despise Nian Fu and he is a reckless man. As long as Mr. Ertai agrees, I will naturally be happy."
Nian Shilan said happily: "Actually, I also fell in love with the eldest daughter of the third master Tong Jia. Although she is a concubine, I think it is a good match for Nian Fu to be a concubine."
The emperor originally didn't think it was a big deal when he heard that Nian Shilan wanted to take a concubine for Nian Fu, but when he heard that she was interested in the concubine of the Tong Jia family, he had to think more.
"If you are really optimistic about it, then you can wait until the marriage between Nian Fu and the E family is settled before issuing a decree."
The emperor thought that Nian Shilan was just angry about Princess Tong Jia, so he let her go.
Nian Shilan didn't expect it to be so easy and quickly agreed.
"This is what the emperor said. Both girls have decided on their future fortunes, so you have no reason to joke."
"Haha, when have I ever lied to you?"
After the emperor had finished eating, Nian Shilan naturally didn't stay any longer.
"I didn't expect that I just came to Sister Wan's place to have a meal and found two such good wives for Nian Fu. I don't dare to disturb the emperor and Sister Wan anymore. I have to write a letter to my brother. , let him bring back his wealth."
The emperor first thought that Nian Shilan didn't have so many calculations. Even if he had some small thoughts, it was understandable, so he never doubted Nian Shilan.
But when Zhen Huan watched Nian Shilan leave, she didn't think so anymore.
Nian Shilan has never come to his palace for dinner. Not only did he come here today, but the emperor is still there.
It seemed like they were just gossiping, but they unknowingly decided to get married to Nian Fu. How could Nian Shilan not have a plan like this?
But Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan are on the same front, so they can only help her succeed.
"What are you thinking about?"
The emperor asked when he saw Zhen Huan looking outside.
"It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little emotional."
Zhen Huan turned back to look at the emperor and said: "General Nian treats the imperial concubine very well, and the imperial concubine also loves and cares for the general Nian and his family. Take it seriously. This is what a family should be like."
"Yes, Nian Gengyao has loved this sister the most since he was a child, and this is still the case now."
The emperor nodded after listening to Zhen Huan's words: "When our child is born, he will be well-behaved and cute."
Zhen Huan touched her belly and said, "If this child can play well with Princess Minghui and the others, then they will have the same deep brotherhood when they grow up."
"That's natural."
The emperor said with a smile: "Minghui and Shu Yue are raised by the imperial concubine, and you have always had a good relationship with her, so they will definitely have a good time."
"The emperor just said that he would propose marriage to Nian Fu, but I think it would be better to be the first to receive the order and give the imperial concubine a surprise?"
After thinking about it, Zhen Huan still felt that the main purpose of Nian Shilan's visit this time was the concubine of the Tong Jia family.
Because Nian Shilan didn't know the emperor's thoughts, but Nian Shilan said that he wanted to take a concubine for Nian Fu as soon as he came in. It seemed that he had a deeper meaning.
What if the emperor waits until he comes back to be rich before issuing a decree to grant a marriage, and the Tong Jia family gets the news and marries the concubine, which will be difficult to handle.
The emperor only thought that Zhen Huan wanted to sell Nian Shilan a good deal, so he agreed immediately.
"I will issue an order early tomorrow morning."
Zhen Huan smiled and said: "Since the decree has been issued, good things must come in pairs. Why don't you let me take advantage of this favor? Tomorrow I will go to Yikun Palace in person to talk to the imperial concubine and ask her to issue an order to bring the Tong Jia family into the Nian Mansion. .”
"Okay, then it's up to you."
So the next day when Nian Shilan heard Su Peisheng say that the emperor had issued a decree granting marriage, she knew that Zhen Huan understood what she meant.
"I have come to congratulate you."
Just as Nian Shilan was thinking about it, Zhen Huan came.
"I have to accept your favor for this joy."
Nian Shilan looked at Zhen Huan with a smile, and the two of them had a tacit understanding without saying anything.
"The Emperor said that good things come in pairs. Since the decree of marriage has been made, the Queen's decree can also be made."
Zhen Huan came here just to talk about this, so when she saw the approval in Nian Shilan's eyes, she knew that she had done the right thing. Nian Shilan was here for this concubine.
"I dare to ask, my concubine, why do you insist on having this concubine?"
Nian Shilan knew what she was thinking, so naturally she couldn't hide it from Zhen Huan, and she didn't want to hide it either.
"Originally, I didn't have this intention. I just thought it was Princess Tong Jia who did something to the Nian family. But I didn't expect that some time ago, Nian Fu actually got married to a girl in the northwest, to the point where he would not marry her. And that woman is Tong Jia’s daughter.”
Nian Shilan explained his position in a few words, and Zhen Huan certainly understood the meaning.
"That woman should understand that the Nian family will not agree."
Zhen Huan said in a positive tone.
"Yes, how far is the northwest from the capital? How can she, a woman, reach it alone? But she said that she is a concubine who is not favored in the family, and her family does not care about her."
Nian Shilan said contemptuously: "She also knows that the Nian family will not tolerate her, and she actually said that she would stay with Nian Fu even if she was willing to be a concubine."
"So the empress wants the other concubines in their family but not her?"
Zhen Huan still doesn't quite understand.
"Of course not."
Nian Shilan smiled when talking about this concubine: "The concubine I want is exactly the opposite. Although she is a concubine, she is the eldest daughter of the third young master Tong Jia, so the third young master Tong Jia loves her very much. They Since Tong Jia dares to scheme against my Nian family, she will naturally have to bear the consequences. I also heard that the third son of Tong Jia is not prepared to make this concubine a concubine, and has already given her to the name of his wife as his concubine. The eldest daughter."
