"No one has ever said that about themselves."
The emperor felt much more relaxed when he heard that Nian Shilan didn't seem to want to take the throne.
Nian Shilan listened to the emperor's words and thought to herself, isn't this what you said about me?
"My concubine is self-aware."
Nian Shilan put down the chopsticks in his hand and said: "No matter who the emperor wants to make as his queen, I have no objection. I just want to stop letting you manage the affairs of the harem. I am so busy that I don't have time to take care of two people." It’s a child.”
After saying this, Nian Shilan specifically pointed at Minghui: "This little girl is no longer close to my concubine."
"I am actually interested in Concubine Duan."
After listening to Nian Shilan's words, the emperor wanted to say something to her, and handed Minghui to the wet nurse beside him.
Duan Fei?
The Emperor really put a lot of thought into this consideration.
Concubine Duan had already fallen out with her mother's family, so it was useless even if she was the daughter of a general. Moreover, Concubine Duan was already infertile, so there would be no such thing as Concubine Duan wanting to compete for the heir apparent.
"Concubine Duan has been in the palace for the longest time. Over the years, she has always kept aloof from the world. She is indeed suitable."
Nian Shilan did not appear overly happy.
"Yes, it's just that she has no heirs. If she is promoted to queen for no reason, I am afraid that external officials will talk about it, which will be very annoying."
Nian Shilan thought about the emperor's words and said: "If Concubine Duan has a prince, they are afraid that they will talk about the legitimate son again, and neither left nor right will satisfy them, so why should the emperor be embarrassed?"
"you mean?"
The emperor raised his head and asked.
"Concubine Duan just doesn't have a prince, but it's not that she has no heirs. Princess Wen Yi is also the emperor's child."
Nian Shilan said proudly: "Now that the emperor is in his prime, he no longer cares about the issue of his legitimate sons. The princes are naturally good."
"Yes, when there is a queen, they are worried about the prince. Without the queen, they are worried about the legitimate son."
The emperor listened to Nian Shilan's words and said with satisfaction: "In that case, I will issue a decree to make Concubine Duan the queen."
"I want to congratulate Concubine Duan."
Nian Shilan said that although there was no trace of reluctance, the emperor thought she was unhappy when he heard Nian Shilan's words.
"I know that you deserve the position of queen, but your family..."
"emperor,"
But Nian Shilan interrupted the emperor: "It's enough that the emperor loves me. I won't embarrass the emperor. I, I have no longer wanted to be the queen."
If Nian Shilan said that she had never thought about becoming the queen, the emperor would definitely not believe it. After all, he had been so targeted at the queen before, and no one would believe that he did not want to be the queen.
"I didn't want the post before, I was just jealous of the relationship between Ulanara and the emperor as husband and wife. As a young concubine, all I wanted was to be your wife."
Nian Shilan's words can be considered sincere. When the emperor was still a prince, she fell in love with him at first sight.
If it weren't for his affection for Queen Chunyuan, I'm afraid Yi Xiu wouldn't be the queen at all, so that's why he hates her so much.
"I understand your thoughts."
The emperor also remembered how kind Nian Shilan had been to him, and the emperor had never doubted Nian Shilan's sincerity towards him.
"Don't talk about these unhappy things,"
Nian Shilan saw that the atmosphere was almost high, so he smiled and said: "Since we are going to be crowned queen, it will be a great joy in the palace. I thought, it will not be long before Concubine Jing enters the palace. This concubine is I’m afraid I deserve the position.”
"Yes, this year, she helped you manage the Sixth House, and she handled it very well."
The emperor nodded and said: "Then let's promote Concubine Jing as Concubine Jing. In this case, let's give it a big seal in the palace. Now that Concubine Ye is pregnant, she can be promoted to Concubine Qian. Concubine Qian is also promoted to Concubine Qian. An The nobles and nobles have also served me for a long time, so I hope they will be promoted to concubines."
"Your Majesty is thoughtful."
Although Nian Shilan was not satisfied with Ye Concubine being promoted to the concubine position, after all, she had not been in the palace for a long time, and she had only just been promoted to the concubine position.
But Nian Shilan knew that she couldn't stop her at this time. Who would let her get pregnant?
But Nian Shilan didn't really take it to heart. After all, Ye Bin's child would not be born. Not only did Ye Bin know it, but Nian Shilan also understood it.
So Nian Shilan planned to avoid her during this period of time, lest she have any stomach problems and she would have to blame it on him.
"You can handle this matter after you return to the palace. Don't publicize the seal in advance, and don't mention it to Concubine Duan either."
The emperor was afraid that if people outside knew that Concubine Duan was going to be made queen, and now that they were in Old Summer Palace, it would be much easier for the Qi family to come looking for them than in the palace.
How could Nian Shilan not understand what the emperor meant.
Although the emperor did not say anything about the relationship between the Duke's Mansion and the Qi family, Zhen Huan also told him a lot about it, both inside and outside.
Since the emperor wanted to hide it from him, why should he expose it?
"I understand."
Nian Shilan smiled gracefully.
The emperor was still a little dazed looking at Nian Shilan like this. It seemed that he didn't look like Nian Shilan anymore.
"Why is the emperor staring at my concubine like this?"
Nian Shilan asked a little strangely when he saw that the emperor looked at her for a long time without looking away.
"I always feel that there is something different about you."
The emperor said it without hesitation.
Nian Shilan touched her face and said with a smile: "As we get older, things are naturally different."
"I'm not talking about your appearance, I'm talking about your appearance and aura that seem to be different. Sometimes I feel that the person in front of me doesn't look like the Shilan I know."
The emperor seemed to be looking at the past through Nian Shilan's current appearance.
Nian Shilan lowered his head, hiding the sarcasm in his eyes, and then said softly: "I am already a mother and have been in the palace for many years, so my appearance is naturally more like a concubine. Anyway, I am a concubine. We need to set a good example for our children. With them, I feel that my life is completely different."
The emperor did not expect that such words would come out of Nian Shilan's mouth. Although it sounded fine, the emperor always felt that Nian Shilan was a little resentful towards him.
I had felt guilty about Nian Shilan, but with the birth of Minghui, I had long since erased those feelings of guilt. Today, Nian Shilan's words made the emperor feel guilty.
He didn't say anything to Nian Shilan next, and left in a bit of embarrassment.
Nian Shilan looked at the emperor's back as he left in a hurry, and smiled even more sarcastically.
You just thought about my children. What would you do if you thought about killing my entire family in your previous life?
