"My mother also specifically told me to express my gratitude to my empress."
"I didn't do anything, so it's not like this."
But Nian Shilan waved and said: "Now that the Queen is not in the palace, and there are only these concubines in the palace, you must behave well. If you get the emperor's special favor, or come to be the head of the first palace, Your mother is only getting more and more angry at home."
Of course An Lingrong thought so too, but after listening to Nian Shilan's words, he still nodded.
"It's rare to have free time today, let's take them to see Concubine Duan."
Nian Shilan looked at Shu Yue and Minghui and wanted to take them out for a walk.
But who would have missed Shu Yue but didn't want to go out.
"I don't want to go out."
It was rare for Shu Yue to say that she couldn't go out to play, which made Nian Shilan feel a little strange.
"Don't you usually go out to play? Why don't you want to go out today?"
Nian Shilan picked up Shu Yue and asked, "But my sister bullied you?"
Minghui's temperament followed Nian Shilan's, and she already showed a domineering look at such a young age. She would take over whatever she liked, whether it was hers or Shu Yue's.
Normally, Nian Shilan would definitely tell Hui if she saw it, but Minghui didn't know if it was because she was really young, or if she just didn't listen to what Nian Shilan said.
Although Minghui is his biological child, Nian Shilan has always treated Shu Yue the same as Minghui, so he is not used to Minghui's problems at all. What's more, he knows this temperament too well, and it is not a good thing.
"Not sister."
Shu Yue shook her head and said: "One of the empresses said that if I go out often, Eniang will send me to Empress Xin in the future and she won't want me anymore."
When Nian Shilan heard this, he suddenly became unhappy.
"Which lady said that? When did she say it?"
Shu Yue felt that Nian Shilan's mood was not right, so she refused to say anything no matter how much Nian Shilan asked.
Nian Shilan was also afraid of scaring her, so he stopped asking. He hugged Shu Yue and coaxed: "She is talking nonsense. How could E Niang not want you? You and your sister are both E Niang's children. E Niang It hurts you but you still can’t get over it.”
Shu Yue blinked her big eyes, not sure whether she believed it or not, but she didn't say anything else.
However, this completely stopped Nian Shilan from going out.
When Shu Yue went to take a nap, Nian Shilan called all the people who took care of her over.
"Who has Shu Yue seen recently?"
Without Nian Shilan's instructions, they naturally did not dare to take Shu Yue out of Yikun Palace, so if anyone wanted to instigate Shu Yue, they would have to come to Yikun Palace.
"It's just you and Mr. Xingui, no one else is here to see you."
the wet nurse said quickly.
Nian Shilan actually had this idea in mind, because if someone came to Yikun Palace, she would definitely know about it.
But Shu Yue's words were certainly not just nonsense.
"Have you taken them out to play recently?"
"I took the two little princesses to the Thousand Carp Pond two days ago, but the ice on it was a little loose, so I didn't go down. I just played around for a while and then came back."
The wet nurse didn't think there was any problem because Nian Shilan knew about it when she went to Qianlichi.
"Who have you seen there?"
Nian Shilan feels that the problem arises here.
"I haven't passed any palace, but I just met a few palace maids."
Several people looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't think of anything useful.
"By the way, I have met Mr. Qi."
One of the little palace maids thought about it and said: "Qi Guiren said that he was going to pay his respects to the emperor, and he also wanted to take Princess Shu Yue with him. However, without the consent of the empress, the servant did not dare to let her take the princess away, so I didn't agree."
Nian Shilan understood after listening that this matter was probably related to Mr. Qi.
"Okay, please step back."
Nian Shilan knew that there was no result in asking them about this matter. After all, if Mr. Qi was really causing trouble, they would not be given a chance to hear about it.
After everyone had retreated, Nian Shilan thought about it and asked Songzhi to tell Concubine Duan about the matter.
In the afternoon, Zhen Huan and Liu Yinyin came to Yikun Palace one after another.
Zhen Huan came first, but as soon as she came in, she found that Nian Shilan seemed to be in a bad mood.
"The queen seems to be in a bad mood?"
"It's just some small things. Is your mother going back?"
Nian Shilan shook his head and said nothing.
Speaking of her mother, Zhen Huan also smiled: "After staying for a while, she went back. My mother also specially asked me to come over to express her gratitude to the empress."
"It doesn't matter, I didn't do anything."
Nian Shilan did not take credit but asked with concern: "Does your family know about Huanbi's incident before?"
"I wrote a few letters to my family before, but I didn't go into details."
Zhen Huan never told anyone about Huanbi's identity. In fact, she had already told her father in a letter at that time.
This time when Zhen's mother entered the palace, she specifically mentioned the matter and told Zhen Huan that she should never be soft-hearted no matter what.
Although Nian Shilan knew Huanbi's identity, he couldn't reveal it. He just nodded and didn't say anything about Huanbi.
"Of course, you don't have to tell your family everything about the palace, so as not to make them anxious."
"Yes, mother also specially brought some donkey-hide gelatin. Of course, the things are not as good as those in the empress's palace, but they are also some of mother's thoughts."
Zhen Huan asked Jin Xi to hand the things to Songzhi, and then said: "Sister Mei's father specially asked someone to send this from Shandong, so my mother sent it specially."
"Everything comes second. What's important is your mother and your thoughts."
Nian Shilan nodded, and then heard Zhen Huan mention Shen Meizhuang's father, and couldn't help but feel that there was something in Zhen Huan's words.
"Fang Ying has been in Jeju for a while. I heard that he lives in seclusion and is extremely cautious."
Zhen Huan saw what Nian Shilan was thinking, and naturally she had nothing to hide: "I think it's time to give him a break."
Nian Shilan glanced at Zhen Huan and immediately knew that Zhen Huan was cruel enough. However, she didn't expect that it had been more than a year since Fang Chunyi died and Zhen Huan still hadn't let her family go.
But Nian Shilan likes such people.
"Yes, he wants to be cautious, so let's make him unable to be cautious."
Nian Shilan said with a smile: "Now that the Queen is banned, if he has the opportunity to help the Queen out of trouble, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity."
The two looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that they wanted to go together.
When Liu Yinyin arrived, the palace was already peaceful.
"Looking at Sister Qian's rosy face, I think everything must be going well for your mother."
Nian Shilan saw Liu Yinyin coming in and said with a smile.
Liu Yinyin also laughed after listening to Nian Shilan's words: "Yes, it has been the first time since I have been in the palace to see my mother, and I am very happy. But for all this, I have to be grateful to the empress."
"What you said is that I am grateful for what I have done."
Nian Shilan waved his hand, saying that there was more to say about Zhen Huan's gratitude to him. After all, he was the one who asked people to mention Zhen Huan to the emperor. But Liu Yinyin was the one who was canonized by the emperor and allowed her mother to enter the palace. This had nothing to do with her at all.
Liu Yinyin didn't have to say anything, she just knew it in her heart.
So Liu Yinyin listened to Nian Shilan's words and said nothing more.
"Did Kang Changzai go to your palace?"
Nian Shilan thought of Kang Changzai's visit to her palace, and thought that she would not dare to go to Zhen Huan's palace. If Zhen Huan was angry or in a bad mood and had fetal contractions, she would not be able to bear the crime. Then the only choice is to go to Liu Yinyin's palace to make trouble.
"I went, but I didn't see her."
When Liu Yinyin mentioned Kang Changchang, her face was full of sarcasm: "She is a little Chang Zai. I don't know what kind of dignity she has that allows me to see her."
Nian Shilan didn't seem to understand Liu Yinyin's words. There shouldn't be any intersection between the two, right?
How come Liu Yinyin doesn't like Kang Chongfan at all?
Zhen Huan was also confused. She had almost never seen Kang Changzai except when she paid respects to the Queen or Nian Shilan, so she had no impression of her. Why did she get so angry when Liu Yinyin mentioned it?
Liu Yinyin seemed to notice the confusion between the two, smiled, picked up the teacup at hand, took a sip of tea, and then said: "She entered the palace with Mr. Qi. How could Mr. Qi leave with the queen? How can she be forgotten by everyone even though she is so close? Even if others forget her, what about the Queen?"
Yes, she was chosen by the queen to enter the palace. The queen would never choose someone who is useless to her to enter the palace. So even if everyone forgets her, the queen will never forget her.
But as luck would have it, the queen was sent out of the palace and grounded, and Kang Changzai didn't do anything.
No, Nian Shilan suddenly thought, why didn't she do it?
"Usually, she really manages not to attract attention, but this time, she was a little impatient."
Listening to Nian Shilan's words, Liu Yinyin knew that Nian Shilan understood what she meant.
After hearing what Nian Shilan said, Zhen Huan understood.
"It seems that she can't stay any longer, or the queen has given her some news, and she urgently needs someone to come to the palace to deliver the news to her."
"If this is the case, we really have to help her."
Nian Shilan smiled. Fortunately, she was more cautious when she came to surrender, otherwise she would have been deceived by her unknown evidence.
However, I have never checked the relationship between Kang Changzai and Ji Bin, so it seems that I have to find someone to check it out.
"What do you mean by that?"
Liu Yinyin glanced at Zhen Huan and asked about their doubts.
"Don't she want to see her family? Then let her see her."
Nian Shilan didn't want her to see her mother. Since she wanted to see her family, who couldn't do it as long as they were relatives?
"Does the empress have someone in mind for her to meet?"
Liu Yinyin asked after listening to Nian Shilan's determined words.
Nian Shilan didn't answer her, just looked at her and smiled meaningfully.
Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Yinyin and Zhen Huan stood up and left.
Nian Shilan didn't say anything about Qi Guiren, but when he thought about Kang Changzai, he had to think about the queen.
"When the concubines and concubines come to pay their respects tomorrow, I will give Mr. Ye a pot of tea."
Nian Shilan and Songzhi said, "Let her wake up."
"What do you mean, your Majesty, Qi Guiren and Kang Zai were ordered by Ye Guiren?"
When Liu Yinyin and Zhen Huan came just now, Songzhi was also there, so she thought of Nian Shilan's meaning as soon as Nian Shilan's words came out.
"The queen is far away in the palace. Even if she wants to arrange for them to do something, it's impossible to send people to notify them one by one."
Nian Shilan said confidently: "Besides, the queen's thoughts will not be on Shu Yue. I'm afraid that only Ye Guiren thought of using this method to frame Qi Guiren. Qi Guiren, I'm afraid he doesn't know anything."
"Ye Guiren is really courageous. He still wants to make friends with our Yi Kun Palace. Who knew he would do this all the time? Who is he?"
It's no wonder that Songzhi looked angry, and even Nian Shilan was a little confused when she thought of Ye Guiren's confusing operation.
You said she wants to be right with herself, but she always shows kindness to herself.
If you really want to be friendly with yourself, then don't do those shady things behind your back.
Nian Shilan hadn't argued with her about the last time she gave birth in Shenmeizhuang. Fortunately, this time, she actually took the idea to her own palace.
"It seems that the queen's suppression of her is not harsh enough."
Nian Shilan's face darkened and she said, "If such a person can't suppress her, I'm afraid it will backfire."
"Then the queen must teach her a lesson."
Songzhi asked.
"Of course I have to give it, otherwise I would have wasted all my efforts in sending the queen away."
Nian Shilan knew that now was the best time to deal with Ye Guiren. After all, Zhen Huan was pregnant, and the emperor paid more attention to Zhen Huan.
An Ling Rong Rong has become very popular with the emperor recently. The emperor's new interest in Ye Guiren has long since passed, and the emperor has a lot of dissatisfaction with Ye Guiren because of the incident with the queen last time.
When the concubines came to pay their respects the next day, Songzhi only served Ye Guiren a cup of tea.
Ye Guiren lowered her head and glanced at her tea cup, then raised her eyelids to glance at Songzhi. When she saw that Songzhi's expression didn't change and just retreated to Nian Shilan's side, she understood.
Nian Shilan was going to show off his power.
After all, Songzhi is Nian Shilan's eldest girl, so there is no need for Songzhi to do things like giving tea herself.
But Songzhi only served herself tea, but not just tea. Ye Guiren's mind changed quickly, and he immediately understood that Nian Shilan might have guessed about Princess Shu Yue.
But she wasn't in a hurry, after all, Nian Shilan didn't really say anything.
Although Nian Shilan was sitting on it talking to everyone, after Songzhi served Ye Guiren tea, she still glanced at Ye Guiren without leaving any trace. Seeing that her expression did not change, Nian Shilan knew that his guess was right.
When everyone left, Nian Shilan asked the noble Fucha to stay.
When Ye Guiren heard that Nian Shilan had left Fucha Guiren behind, he raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he did not expect that Nian Shilan would not keep him, and instead of Qi Guiren, he would not know why Fucha Guiren was left behind.
