"Back then, the emperor also wanted to confer a second-grade imperial edict on his mother, but it was because of the empress's strong opposition that she was not granted the imperial edict."
Nian Shilan's eyes turned red with anger and she said, "If it weren't for her..."
"Empress,"
Songzhi quickly stopped Nian Shilan's unspoken words: "There is no old lady, isn't there still Mrs. Nian now? We are not in a hurry."
Nian Shilan calmed down for a while after listening to Songzhi's words.
"Then go and tell Concubine Qian's mother that she can come to the palace to see her tomorrow afternoon."
"Yes, I will let someone arrange it now."
Seeing that Nian Shilan's mood had improved, Songzhi quickly asked Zhou Ninghai to convey the order, and then went to Yonghe Palace to inform Liu Yinyin.
"By the way, Wan Concubine is already in her second month of pregnancy. You can go ask the emperor later, otherwise it is said that Wan Concubine's mother should come to the palace to see her."
Nian Shilan thought that Zhen Huan would also have something to tell her family, so why not meet them all together.
"Then does the empress want Mrs. Chuan Nian to come into the palace?"
After listening to Nian Shilan's words, Songzhi thought more thoughtfully: "The general will arrive in the capital soon, and the eldest son's marriage is almost done. Why don't you take advantage of this time to meet your wife?" See what’s missing.”
"forget it."
Nian Shilan thought for a while but did not agree: "Just because my brother is coming back soon, don't let your sister-in-law enter the palace to avoid being false. When the time comes, let's wait for my brother to enter the palace and let her come together."
In less than half a day, all the concubines in each palace knew that Concubine Qian and Concubine Wan's mother was coming to the palace.
In the evening, when Nian Shilan was playing with Shu Yue and Minghui in the palace, Kang Changzai came.
Nian Shilan hadn't seen Kang Changzai for a long time. If she hadn't come by herself, Nian Shilan would have forgotten such a person.
"Is there something wrong with Kang Changzai?"
In fact, Nian Shilan had doubts about Kang Changzai's identity, but the clues she had given her before were no problem.
Concubine Ji was gone, so for a while Nian Shilan was not sure whether Kang Changzai was an enemy or a friend.
"I heard today that the mothers of Concubine Qian and Concubine Guan will enter the palace tomorrow, so I wanted to ask the concubine if I could see my mother?"
Kang Changzai said softly: "I don't fight for the favor of the saint. I live quietly in the palace. I really miss my parents, so I came here to beg the empress to see if I can open up the situation and let the concubine meet her family."
Is this what you want to see?
This was Nian Shilan's first reaction.
If this opening is given to her, then whoever comes next will have to agree to it?
"I really can't make the decision in this matter,"
Nian Shilan said with a smile: "Concubine Qian's mother entered the palace because she received the royal decree, so the emperor allowed her to enter the palace to express her gratitude. Concubine Wan came to the palace because she was pregnant. The emperor was considerate of concubine Wan's worries during pregnancy. , that’s why I gave the order.”
"Then, will my concubine have no chance to see her family again?"
Kang Changzai felt a little pitiful as he talked.
Nian Shilan looked at Kang Changzai like this, and the uncomfortable feeling in her heart came again.
"If you are pregnant, there will naturally be grace."
Nian Shilan comforted him calmly, and then said: "Now Ye Guiren is favored, if you don't take the initiative, I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities."
Shilan didn't know whether Kang Chang listened or not, but what she did know was that Kang Chang's face looked much better when he was about to leave.
"Songzhi, go and tell An Guiren not to stay in the palace tomorrow."
Nian Shilan thought about Kang Changzai's thoughts, and figured she was not the only one.
If someone has bad intentions and dares to harm Liu Yinyin instead of touching Zhen Huan, then An Lingrong is a good springboard.
"An Lingrong has just sent someone to pass the message, saying that he wants to come and see Princess Shu Yue and Princess Minghui tomorrow."
Before Songzhi had time to tell Nian Shilan, Kang Changzai came.
So when I heard Nian Shilan's words, I quickly answered.
"She's quite smart."
Nian Shilan just said a few words and prepared to sleep.
When Zhen Huan and Liu Yinyin's mothers entered the palace, Nian Shilan naturally wanted a reward, so at noon, Dongzhi and Lingzhi were sent there respectively with their things.
"When I came here just now, I met the noble Fucha on the road."
An Lingrong thought for a while and then told what happened just now.
"Oh? Did we meet by chance, or did we wait for you on purpose?"
Nian Shilan knew that the noble Fucha knew that the queen had harmed her child, and probably also knew that An Lingrong was involved, so she would not have a good look towards An Lingrong.
An Lingrong smiled bitterly: "It doesn't make any difference."
"What did she say?"
Looking at An Lingrong, Nian Shilan knew that the noble Fucha would not say anything nice.
"It doesn't matter what you say, even my concubines and concubines don't take it seriously."
An Lingrong hugged Minghui and glanced at Nian Shilan, and then said: "But the strange thing is that the direction Fucha Nobles went is Chuxiu Palace. It seems that Fucha Nobles and Qi Nobles have been walking together recently. It’s close, and the two of them don’t go out of the palace very often.”
Nian Shilan only thought after hearing An Lingrong's words that she had indeed not seen Mr. Qi for a long time.
I had exempted them from getting up early to greet them before, but unexpectedly, it was more convenient for them.
"The two of them can't accomplish anything big."
Nian Shilan said nonchalantly: "It's Ye Guiren and Kang Changzai. I think I have scheming intentions. You should be careful."
"Concubine understands."
An Lingrong nodded: "But last night, the emperor also talked about a draft."
"Draft?"
Nian Shilan was still shocked when he heard that the emperor took the initiative to announce the draft.
No matter what the Queen Mother and Empress said in the previous life, the Emperor only chose to show off once. Why did he take the initiative to talk about it this time?
"Yes, what the emperor means is that there are always things happening in the palace recently, and there are not many concubines in the palace. This is also what the queen mother means. It is said that the emperor has too few children and needs to enrich the harem."
An Lingrong nodded, and in the blink of an eye he had been in the palace for three years.
"Then choose."
Nian Shilan also smiled, but she was a little helpless: "It's better to bring in some new people, so that these people don't get tired of looking at each other every day."
"Yeah, if there were more people, they wouldn't always stare at us."
An Lingrong also understood what Nian Shilan meant. The disputes in the palace would not end as long as there were people.
"By the way, is there a letter from your home?"
Nian Shilan didn't want to mention the draft again. After all, the emperor hadn't told him yet and he hadn't thought about it.
"Yes, my mother asked grandma to help me write a letter and send it here a few days ago."
An Lingrong was happy when he said this. Compared with the days when his mother was at home now, it was a huge difference from before.
