The palace maid who was also Kang Guiren's personal maid naturally understood what Kang Guiren meant, glanced outside, and then raised her voice and said: "My lord, you are naturally not afraid of checking. I think the queen is not the kind of narrow-minded person. As long as we are upright, we are not afraid. If the shadow is slanted, the empress will naturally give us justice."
Kang Guiren smiled after listening to the palace maid's words, but did not speak any more.
Another uneasy person is Fucha Guiren.
Now that An Lingrong has become the head of the Yanxi Palace and has moved back, won't he have to live by her face in the future?
"Sonny, if we talk to the emperor about moving the palace, will the emperor agree?"
"Little Master, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Sonny is smarter and sees things more clearly: "Now that the Queen has just gained power, the Emperor will naturally not interfere with the affairs of the harem. If you say you want to move the palace, I am afraid the Emperor will ask you to find the Queen. How can I let you leave as the concubine of the Queen Mother?"
"I don't know how An Lingrong managed to climb up to the Queen. If I had known this, we should have gone to Yikun Palace early to sit more."
Sonny listened to the words of the noble Fucha but did not agree.
With Nian Shilan's temperament back then, even if Fucha nobleman went there, Nian Shilan would not be able to meet her.
Isn’t Guo Guiren the best example?
When he was in the Old Summer Palace, Guo Guiren went to Shilan's place almost every day, but what happened in the end? Nian Shilan didn't like Guo Guiren at all.
"Little Master, now let's quickly think about how to get An Bin to stop embarrassing us."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult. I didn't embarrass her less back then. Now that she has gained power, I'm afraid our life will be difficult in the future."
Mr. Fucha was right about this.
An Lingrong really holds a grudge.
At this time, An Lingrong was also arranging for Baojuan and others to return to Yanxi Palace, and he must give the noble Fucha a warning.
"So that she can know that I am not that easy to bully."
An Lingrong smiled and said: "Fu Xiao has been in a low position for so many years, and he can finally stand up. Naturally, we can't let people look down on us any more."
"What the empress said is absolutely true. Forget about everything else. Rich lady, she doesn't deserve our good looks towards her."
Baojuan was also angry with many rich and noble people back then, so naturally they would not say good things for her now.
"Then set some rules for her."
An Lingrong said nonchalantly: "We will move there tomorrow morning."
Sure enough, An Lingrong had his things moved back to Yanxi Palace early the next morning, and this time, An Lingrong was the first to receive them in the main hall.
Mr. Fucha spent the whole night thinking about how to get along with An Lingrong in the future, so he didn't sleep well, so he naturally woke up a little late.
But when she woke up and heard that An Lingrong had already moved the palace, she was so frightened that she quickly got up and asked someone to wash her.
Isn't this just trying to give An Lingrong some leverage?
Sure enough, by the time the noble Fucha hurried to the main hall, An Lingrong's face had already turned bad.
"Concubine, please give your regards to Concubine An. I got up a little late this morning. Please forgive me."
Mr. Fucha also understood that now he was under the roof and had to bow his head.
"Sister Fucha, are you going to slap me in the face, or the Queen in the face?"
An Lingrong asked with a cold face: "Today is the first day that I moved into Yanxi Palace, and you made me wait for you for nearly an hour. Will you have to do this every day from now on? I am waiting for you in the palace, do you still want to pay your respects to the Queen? Or is Sister Fucha so bold that she doesn’t want to pay her respects to the Queen?"
"I don't dare. I really made an unintentional mistake today. Please forgive me."
After listening to An Lingrong's words, the noble Fucha understood that this was to set rules for himself, and his attitude was just normal. He was not as scared as before. Sooner or later, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape.
An Lingrong heard the change in Fu Cha's tone and understood that she didn't want to struggle anymore.
An Lingrong smiled sarcastically: "If I don't understand, what will you do?"
"I invite you to kneel outside for an hour to calm your anger."
The noble Fucha himself took the initiative to talk about the punishment, so he thought it would be fine.
"What Mr. Fucha said is as if Empress An is deliberately trying to embarrass you."
Bao Juan spoke at the right time: "And it's almost time to pay her respects to the Empress. Do you want to blame Concubine An for not going to pay her respects to the Empress?"
The noble Fucha glanced at An Lingrong, who was motionless, and said in a humble tone, "Of course I don't dare."
"In that case, your noble lord, please go and pay your respects to the Queen first."
Baojuan spoke on An Lingrong's behalf: "To express your guilt for your Majesty, please let me kneel in the yard for two hours to welcome An Lingrong back. After all, your Majesty has also been waiting for you for an hour."
By the time you come back from greeting the Queen, it will already be hot. If you have to kneel for two hours, it is not the time when the sun is shining at noon.
Mr. Fucha thought of the time when Nian Shilan asked Mr. Qi to kneel down. He gritted his teeth and could only smile and agree.
"Okay, let's go and pay our respects to the Queen first. We can't be late."
An Lingrong did not forget to say "Fucha noble man" before going out.
But even if they were not late, they would be the last to arrive at Yikun Palace.
"I would like to pay my respects to the Queen. I am late to send you greetings. Please forgive me."
An Lingrong said it was okay.
Nian Shilan smiled: "It's not too late. It's just that you don't like to sleep. Why is it late today? I heard that you moved the palace early in the morning?"
"Going back to your Majesty, there was some minor situation in the palace, so I was a little late."
An Lingrong did not take the opportunity to complain, which somewhat surprised the noble Fu Cha.
But who is Nian Shilan? You can understand it by turning your eyes between the two people.
But since An Lingrong didn't say anything, I guess he can solve it himself.
"Okay, you have just returned to Yanxi Palace. It is inevitable that you will have to worry about many things in the palace. You are not limited to this time. Come and sit down."
"Thank you for your consideration, ma'am."
After An Lingrong finished speaking, he sat down.
The noble Fucha also sat down with An Lingrong.
"I wanted to come to the Queen's Palace yesterday to express my gratitude, but I thought I couldn't come empty-handed, so I made a sachet overnight and specially presented it to the Queen."
Concubine Gu handed the sachet in her hand to Songzhi and said, "It's not a valuable thing, but it was made by my own hands, which shows my concubine's thoughts."
Nian Shilan took it over. The dragons and phoenixes embroidered on it made it look like they were made overnight, which seemed like a good idea.
"Things are secondary, Gu Bin's thoughts are the most important."
