"That's not it, that's not it..."
Nian Shilan didn't finish what he said, but everyone present understood it.
But when Princess Tong Jia looked at Nian Shilan's reaction, she really doubted whether Nian Shilan really didn't know about it before.
"No wonder, no wonder when the concubine wanted to give Tong Jiayirou to Nian Fu as his concubine, Princess Tong Jia strongly opposed it. At that time, the concubine thought that she did not want the concubine in the family to be a concubine, but she never thought that this was the reason. "
Nian Shilan said this to the emperor.
After saying this, he knelt down without waiting for the emperor's reaction: "Your Majesty, I beg you to make the decision for Nian Fu. I will never let such a woman enter the Nian Mansion."
Princess Tong Jia was a little lucky that Yi Xiu exposed Yirou's identity. Nian Shilan had already issued the decree, and Yirou was now a member of the Nian family. She had nothing to be afraid of, but she didn't want Nian Shilan to do so. Don't worry about it for the first time.
If Nian Mansion no longer wants Yirou, even if he still has a title in the future, even if his uncle is still there, it is impossible for Yirou to get married to a good family, and even ordinary people will never come to ask for marriage.
"Your Majesty, it's true that Yirou is my and my third brother's child, but it's not like what Ulanara said."
Princess Tong Jia knew that it would be useless even if she did not admit that Yirou was her daughter at this time. The Queen might have evidence in her hands: "It was the Uranala clan who burned Tong Jia's house when their minister had a child. Your Majesty. You should remember the fire that broke out in Tong Jia's mansion that year. If the court ladies didn't give them a child, everyone in Tong Jia's mansion would be killed in the flames."
Princess Tong Jia cried and pointed at Yi Xiu and said: "The Ulanara clan is so cruel. When Ulanara Yixuan failed in his request to marry me, he maliciously drugged me. He wanted to force me but he couldn't. I don’t want to get married. But I didn’t expect that my third brother saved me back then, but I used traditional Chinese medicine, so the two of us had a child. But I didn’t want them, the Uranala family, to threaten me, and they insisted that the child I was pregnant with was theirs. Ulanara's family, because they have long known that Ulanara Yixuan is sterile."
"Your Majesty, you know how much my sister loved her brother back then. If he really fell in love with Princess Tong Jia, how could my sister fail to fulfill her wish? How could the Queen Mother fail to fulfill her wish? Why would she drug her?"
Yi Xiu had already successfully used Chun Yuan anyway, so he refuted Princess Tong Jia's words with reason.
The emperor listened to the two people's words and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
Nian Shilan knew that nothing could be solved today.
But one thing can be solved. Regardless of whether it was He Zishu who was threatened by Yi Xiu or not, Princess Tong Jia admitted in disguise that they had deliberately hijacked Su Deyin.
"emperor,"
Nian Shilan thought for a while and said: "The matter between the Tong Jia family and the Ulanala family has nothing to do with me and the Nian family, and I don't want to get involved. However, Princess Tong Jia has admitted it. , Their Duke’s Mansion deliberately held my sister-in-law hostage, and I asked the Emperor to give my sister-in-law an explanation for this matter, and then issued an order to cancel the decision to let Tong Jiayirou enter the Nian Mansion as a concubine."
The emperor also reacted after listening to Nian Shilan's words. Yes, the old affairs between them were not his business. What he was talking about now was mainly the affairs of the Duke's Mansion.
It doesn't matter who is the mastermind.
"The Duke's office deliberately attempted to murder the official's family members, so why did he withdraw the name of the Duke from his own letter? Princess Tong Jia, the title has been revoked."
The emperor raised his head and looked at several people and said: "As for Tong Jiayirou's ominous identity, she will be detained by Dali Temple from now on and await her fate."
"Your Majesty, Yirou is innocent, please have mercy."
Princess Tong Jia is no longer a princess, but Tong Jia is polite.
As soon as she heard that the emperor was going to take Tong Jiayirou into custody, she didn't care about anything else.
But the emperor didn't listen to her at all: "Su Peisheng, please bring Tong Jia back to He's house. No one is allowed to visit her without my permission."
This completely killed her idea of asking for help.
Yi Xiu listened to the emperor's treatment of Tong Jia's mansion, and his pride was replaced by uneasiness.
After all, the emperor would not be open to the Ulanara clan.
"Ulanara's family,"
As the emperor spoke, he looked at Yi Xiu, as if thinking of Chun Yuan, and sighed: "Yi Xuan is dead, so I can't pursue it anymore. If you know how to behave, I will naturally give you a way to live. If it happens again , I will never protect you again."
After saying that, someone took her down.
When both of them were taken away, Nian Shilan's expression of watching the fun immediately changed to an aggrieved expression.
"emperor...."
Anyone who heard Nian Shilan's tone would be dissatisfied.
"Okay, I know I have wronged you."
The emperor comforted Nian Shilan and said, "But the Ulanara family always has Chunyuan's affection, and I can't leave no room for it."
"The Emperor is partial."
Nian Shilan saw that the emperor felt a little guilty about him, and quickly thought in his mind about how to maximize his benefits.
"How could I be biased? In order to appease Mrs. Nian, I will issue an order to make her the third-grade imperial concubine. I will also grant your brother a first-class title, which will be inherited by Nian Fu in the future."
The emperor had already thought about how to appease Nian Shilan and Nian Gengyao.
Especially now that Nian Gengyao was injured, he wouldn't believe it at all if Uranala was really clean.
"I would like to thank the Emperor on behalf of my brother and sister-in-law."
Nian Shilan immediately became happy after hearing the emperor's words and stopped pursuing the matter.
"Now that these matters have been dealt with, I have one more thing to ask the Emperor."
"you say."
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the change in Nian Shilan's expression.
"It's almost time for the third-year draft. I wonder if the emperor has any special orders?"
The emperor nodded after listening to Nian Shilan's words: "There's nothing special to say. You've handled these things before, so just do what you want."
"Yes, I will ask them to get ready tomorrow, so nothing will be delayed."
After Nian Shilan finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave: "I just returned to the palace yesterday. I have to go and see and ask about many things in the palace, so I won't stay long."
"Okay, go and do your work."
After the emperor finished speaking, Nian Shilan left.
When Nian Shilan left the Yangxin Hall, he saw Su Peisheng entering again.
This wave of events for the Nian family is really not a loss.
Nian Shilan looked at the sky and saw that the weather today was really good.
Back at Yikun Palace, Nian Shilan sent someone to fetch Huang Guiquan.
The draft three years ago was handled by Huang Guiquan, and this time it was left to him. Thinking about it, he didn't dare to cause any trouble for himself.
Sure enough, Huang Guiquan had heard about the draft a long time ago, but Nian Shilan didn't tell him anything, which made him always uneasy.
So when he heard Nian Shilan pass him over, Huang Guiquan ran faster than anyone else.
"I want you to come here this time because of the draft."
Nian Shilan said: "You have to take care of everything in the palace, especially during the palace selection. You did well in the last selection. Don't let me down this time."
"Don't worry, Madam, I have a servant here to ensure you have peace of mind."
Huang Guiquan said with a smile: "To be honest with you, I have long heard people in the palace talking about the talent show. It's just that your Majesty is busy with other things, so I don't dare to disturb you. I thought you, your Majesty, are going to be drafted." Forget about the slave and let others take care of it."
Nian Shilan also ignored Huang Guiquan's little trick, pointed at him and said, "If you remember how good I am to you, my kindness will not be in vain."
"My slave will never forget it."
After listening to Nian Shilan's words, Huang Guiquan quickly expressed his loyalty: "Don't worry, your Majesty, I will handle the matter beautifully and won't let your Majesty worry."
"I hope what you do is as useful as what you say, so go ahead."
Nian Shilan took one look at him and asked him to go down.
"Mother, Ye Guiren is here."
Songzhi walked in and whispered, "Would you like to see me, my queen?"
"Just say that I am resting and see no one."
Nian Shilan would not see Ye Guiren coming to cause trouble for him at this time.
No matter what Ye Guiren's mentality is, he can't see it.
I guess Songzhi also understood what Nian Shilan meant, so when he came in just now, he spoke in a low voice.
Songzhi nodded and went out.
After a while, he came back.
"Are you leaving?"
"I've already left. Ye Guiren just wanted to come and thank you."
Songzhi conveyed Ye Guiren's words to Nian Shilan.
Nian Shilan ignored her whether to thank her or not. What she did had nothing to do with her.
The matter between Jingren Palace and Tong Jia Mansion came to an end, and Nian Shilan was in an extremely good mood.
Even when Nian Fu got married, Nian Shilan was not so happy.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the palace election came.
Zhen Huan was almost eight months pregnant, and Nian Shilan ordered her mother to enter the palace to accompany her.
The emperor has been very busy recently and rarely comes to the harem.
Nian Shilan thought that the palace had not made a big seal for a long time. Taking advantage of this draft, he might as well make a big seal.
The day before the election of Nian Shilan Palace, I took some snacks and went to Yangxin Palace to see the emperor.
"May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."
Nian Shilan's face was filled with a smile.
The emperor couldn't help but smile when he looked at her: "Are you in such a good mood today?"
"Yes, I heard that the beautiful ladies this time are extremely outstanding, so I came to congratulate the emperor in advance."
Nian Shilan took the snacks from Songzhi's hand, put them on the table and said, "The palace will be lively after this."
"Haha, I hope so."
The emperor smiled and said, "How are you doing, Concubine Wan?"
"I got up early to see him and asked the doctor. Everything is fine."
Nian Shilan looked at the emperor and said, "The emperor cares about her so much. It seems that the emperor likes Wanbi's child very much."
"I like all my children."
The emperor knew that Nian Shilan would not be jealous now, so he was less restrained when talking to her: "It's just that my concubine gave birth to a child before, so I am always worried about this pregnancy."
"Yes, it's hard for me to be pregnant this time."
Nian Shilan nodded obediently and said: "But the sisters in the harem are all old people now. Nowadays, there are many vacancies in the harem. It may have been a long time since the palace had a big seal. The emperor might as well take advantage of this draft to make a big seal." , making all the sisters happy."
"Yes, there may be no happy events in the palace for a long time. In that case, just seal it."
After listening to Nian Shilan's words, the emperor thought for a while and said, "Concubine Wan is pregnant now and will give birth to an heir soon. Why not just call her Concubine Wan."
"Wan Concubine sounds nice, but the word Wan is the word that the Emperor rewarded Concubine Wan as soon as she entered the palace. Why don't the Emperor choose a new title for Concubine Wan. If Concubine Wan gives birth to a prince, the rest of her life will be troubled. It’s light.”
"The past cannot be traced back, so why not call her Concubine Xi?"
The emperor didn't think much about it, he just felt that what Nian Shilan said made sense: "Let the noble Ye be promoted to Ye Concubine, and then Kang Chang will be promoted to the noble."
"Yes, that's a great gift for the newlyweds when they enter the palace, that's all."
Nian Shilan said: "The emperor can also choose a few more sisters to come in. For a long time, there has been only one principal seat in the palace. It is very boring to think about it."
"Let's take a look. There has to be something suitable."
After the emperor finished speaking, he took a piece of the snack that Nian Shilan brought over and put it into his mouth: "After the election, I will take you to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat."
"I thought the emperor didn't plan to go this year."
Nian Shilan really thought she wouldn't go. After all, it was already late August and there were only a few hot days left. Moreover, even if she went this time, not many concubines would be able to go.
"I've only been busy for the past few days, and it's almost all taken care of now."
"Then I wish the emperor to find another beautiful woman."
Nian Shilan left after finishing speaking.
On the second day of the palace election, although Nian Shilan was in the palace, the news from outside reached her ears.
The emperor liked this year's show girls very much and selected six to enter the palace.
Although the six beautiful ladies are not too many, they are all the emperor himself, which shows how happy the emperor is.
The emperor decided on the status of each beautiful girl, and then had people send them to Nian Shilan and asked her to allocate palaces.
Guo Luo Luo's family, Guo Guiren.
Gu Jia's family, Gu Guiren.
Zhang Jiashi, Zhang Changzai.
That Hershey, that abides.
There are also Horse Promise and Wang Promise.
It seems like there's nothing special about it.
Nian Shilan thought for a while and concluded that the Emperor's favorable impressions of several people were similar and there was nothing special about them, so let's spread them out.
Guo Guiren lived in Changchun Palace, Gu Guiren lived in Chuxiu Palace, Zhang Changzai and Na Changzai lived in Zhongcui Palace, and Ma Yingying and Wang Yingying lived in Chonghua Palace.
"Let's make arrangements. I don't know if these young masters are easy to get along with."
After Nian Shilan arranged the residence of these people, he asked Huang Guiquan to show these to the Queen Mother.
There is no queen in the harem now, but there is still a queen mother.
The emperor doesn't care about these little things, but Nian Shilan can't really make the decision and arrange everything on his own.
After hearing what Nian Shilan meant, Huang Guiquan immediately understood and went down with the roster.
"Go and call Concubine Jing tomorrow and tell her that I have something to say to her."
