After Xingui Ren left, Songzhi came over.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xingui shouldn't have other thoughts, right?"
Songzhi naturally understood what Nian Shilan meant, but he was afraid that Xingui would have to think too much when he returned this time.
"I won't say whether she did, but she did cross the line. I was too tolerant to her in the past, so that now she goes to see Shu Yue without passing by me."
Nian Shilan looked at Shu Yue in his arms and said: "The fact that Kang Gui is able to find her means that Xing Gui can take action. Even if she is unwilling in her heart, if she is taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, then It’s not good.”
"What the empress said is absolutely true."
Songzhi nodded: "Then if Mr. Xingui comes to see Princess Shuyue again in the future, can she be allowed to see her?"
"I'll let you see me."
Nian Shilan put Shu Yue down and handed it to Songzhi and said, "She will know what to do when she goes back today and will know what to do in the future. I am just giving her a little reminder. She is smart and will naturally understand. .”
Nian Shilan's guess was correct. Xin Guiren returned to Qixiang Palace from Yikun Palace and figured out what Nian Shilan meant.
"Ze'er, if Mr. Kang comes again in the future, he will never see you again."
Ze'er was a little puzzled when he heard Xin Guiren's words. He was there when Kang Guiren came to speak, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Kang Guiren said?
"My lord, everything Kang Guiren said is right. We have to think about ourselves and the princess."
Ze'er thought that Xingui Ren had not understood this, and wanted to persuade Xingui Ren.
"Consider? If I continue to think about it, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see the princess in the future."
Xin Guiren sneered and said, "I shouldn't rush to Yikun Palace today. I'm afraid that making the imperial concubine doubt me is the main purpose of Kang Guiren's visit."
"Can't you?"
Ze'er didn't understand what Xin Guiren meant, and Xin Guiren naturally didn't expect her to understand Nian Shilan's words.
"Okay, just do as I say."
Xin Guiren waved her hand and let her go down. She had to think carefully about how to make Nian Shilan eliminate her doubts about herself.
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were talking in the room, and Jin Xi came in and talked about Ze'er's explanation about missing Kang Guiren just now.
Zhen Huan glanced at Shen Meizhuang, smiled and said, "Although this Kanggui man is not important, he should not be underestimated."
"Yes, Mr. Xingui may have been prompted by the imperial concubine."
Shen Meizhuang nodded and said, "Now that the people in the palace are unstable, you should be more careful."
"Don't worry, sister, I know it all."
Zhen Huan thought for a moment and said, "It's a good thing that the Emperor is staying with Sister An these days."
"She is not the hostess yet, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for her to stay with Concubine Qian."
Shen Meizhuang remembered that Nian Shilan had told him that the emperor wanted to seal the throne, but one thing after another was delayed.
"Let's wait until the Ye Concubine matter is over. Let's find another time to bring it up."
Zhen Huan understood what Shen Meizhuang meant.
"Now that the throne has not been decided, the Emperor will definitely have countless worries."
What Shen Meizhuang said is true, and the emperor is also troubled by this matter.
Originally, establishing Concubine Duan as the queen was just a stopgap measure, but after the Longkodo incident, the emperor no longer wanted to have any stopgap measures.
Now the emperor actually prefers Nian Shilan, but Nian Shilan is the Han military flag.
"Now that Nian Gengyao has long lost his military power, and Shilan only has two princesses, my son thinks she is just right."
The emperor and the queen mother were also discussing.
"Yes, she saved the Ai family and Sixth Brother, so she deserves it based on her merits. Moreover, she followed you since she came to the palace, so she deserves it based on her seniority."
That's what the Queen Mother said, but when the Emperor heard what the Queen Mother didn't finish, he knew that she was going to object.
"But if the Han army flag is revealed, the officials will start talking about it even more."
"Whenever the officials are not talking about it, just let them go."
The emperor said nonchalantly: "If it doesn't work out, you can raise the flag for Shilan and give her a surname. There is always a way."
"Since you have already thought about it, there is nothing the Ai family would not agree to."
When the Queen Mother saw that the Emperor had already thought about everything, she naturally could not say anything more.
"Then my son will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare tomorrow."
The Queen Mother has no objection, and the Emperor is naturally happy.
"Zhungeer will be going to Beijing in a while, and it just so happens that Chaogui can come back with him."
The Queen Mother just nodded, not very interested.
"The Ai family haven't seen Lao Shixi for a long time..."
“English daughter,”
As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, the Emperor's expression changed.
"Aijia's health is getting worse and worse. I just want to go and see if he is doing well."
The queen mother naturally knew what the emperor was worried about, but after all, he was also her son.
The emperor stood up after listening to the Queen Mother's words: "My son will not treat him badly."
The Queen Mother knew that these words were just used by him to comfort herself, so she had no choice but to forget it.
The emperor finished what he wanted to say and left.
"Queen Mother, why do you mention Shi Xiye again and make the Emperor unhappy?"
Seeing that the emperor had left, Zhu Xi persuaded the Queen Mother and said, "Don't worry about this anymore."
"Yes, the Ai family is useless now. The emperor doesn't even want to talk to the Ai family."
The Queen Mother smiled sarcastically: "Didn't the Imperial Concubine say that she would come to have dinner with the Ai family tomorrow? You should prepare well tomorrow."
"My slave will do it, but if the imperial concubine knows that she is going to be crowned queen, I am afraid she will be extremely happy."
Zhuxi is actually quite optimistic about Nian Shilan.
In the past two years, the emperor has become more fond of Nian Shilan. Although the number of times the emperor visits him is still the same as before, every time he mentions Nian Shilan, the emperor always smiles more. Shilan's number of times even exceeded that of Queen Chunyuan.
And looking at the entire harem, several people favored by the emperor are more or less similar to Queen Chunyuan, except Nian Shilan, who is not similar to Queen Chunyuan at all.
"Shilan's temperament has become more and more calm, and she is worthy of this position."
The Queen Mother nodded: "But if it is Concubine Duan, she deserves it."
"But Concubine Duan is not in good health after all."
The Queen Mother smiled: "The Emperor feels guilty for Shilan, but shouldn't he feel guilty for Concubine Duan? If it hadn't been for that time, Concubine Duan would not have lingered on her sick bed."
"Your Majesty, please don't mention this again."
Zhuxi quickly stopped after hearing what the Queen Mother said.
The Queen Mother just raised her head, looked at Zhu Xi, smiled, and said no more.
