"Bring over the full moon gift that I prepared for Concubine An."
Nian Shilan stayed in Yikun Palace, so no one came to give anything to An Bin.
Now that she can come, naturally the courtesy is indispensable.
However, what she gave was a full moon gift.
It was given in advance.
An Lingrong saw that Songzhi had people bring in a lot of things, but there was one thing that Songzhi brought over personally.
"This is the finest Hetian jade. The Empress thought that Concubine An liked jade the most, so she asked her slave to bring it to her. The Empress herself was reluctant to use it."
"These two pieces of jade are of excellent quality. You can decide whether you want to make them into bracelets or necklaces for the princess."
Nian Shilan said with a smile, which was considered to be in agreement with Songzhi's words just now.
"This is too expensive."
Upon hearing this, An Lingrong quickly refused: "Empress, you have given me enough rewards. It's better for you to keep this jade for yourself."
"I have already brought it. Where can I go back to get it? Just accept it."
After Nian Shilan finished speaking, he was about to leave. Songzhi quickly stepped forward to support Nian Shilan.
"My birth date is getting closer and closer. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you for a while. You have to be careful."
After saying this, Nian Shilan left.
An Lingrong listened to Nian Shilan's last words and knew that she was reminding him to be careful with Yi Xiu.
"Mother, these things..."
Baojuan looked at the things Nian Shilan sent and asked, "Should our chief take them into the warehouse?"
"What the Queen has rewarded must be good. You pick some good ones and have them sent home."
Since An Lingrong became pregnant, her mother's status in the family has become higher and higher.
But An Lingrong knew what kind of virtue his father was, so he would always send something back to remind his family from time to time.
"Yes, what should I do with this jade?"
Baojuan naturally understood what An Lingrong meant, but the two pieces of jade that Nian Shilan brought must not be careless, especially Songzhi who specifically emphasized it.
An Lingrong looked at it for a while and said: "Go and make a collar for the princess, and ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hurry up and make it before the full moon banquet."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
Baojuan ordered people to put everything away, then took two pieces of jade and hurried to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As soon as Nian Shilan returned to Yikun Palace, she heard Toshiba complaining.
"What's going on here?"
Toshiba didn't pay attention when Nian Shilan came in, so Nian Shilan's voice really shocked Toshiba.
"You can still be so scared in our own palace."
Nian Shilan joked and said, "It's not a good habit to talk about people behind their backs in broad daylight."
"No, my dear,"
When Dongzhi saw that it was his empress, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not that I don't look down on that Yigui. I really think that I am still the queen before. The empress asked her to take care of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother herself doesn't like her. At the same time, What’s our relationship?”
"What do you mean? Come and listen to me."
When Nian Shilan heard that it was something that should be repaired, he immediately became interested.
"Didn't you ask Yigui to take care of the Queen Mother? But who would have thought that this Yigui just entered Shoukang Palace, and the Queen Mother didn't see her at all, so she asked her to go to Baohua Palace to chant sutras."
Toshiba said unhappily: "The Queen Mother asked her to go, but Jianqiu actually dared to complain about the empress. I happened to hear it when I was passing by. I wanted to go forward and argue, but I was afraid of causing trouble to the empress, so I didn't. Go and wait for your return to make a final decision."
When Nian Shilan heard this, the Queen Mother didn't even want to see Yi Xiu. She thought she was really in poor health.
Otherwise, it would be a good time for the Queen Mother to solve the problem of Yi Xiu.
"It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal."
That's what Nian Shilan said, but he didn't really mean to pursue it.
"Since the Queen Mother has already asked her to go to the Queen Mother to recite sutras, let her copy the Master's mantras a thousand times to show her sincerity."
"Yes, I will go and deliver the order right away."
When Toshiba heard this, he happily walked out.
"Wait."
But Nian Shilan stopped her again: "If you are guilty below Jianqiu and dare to make irresponsible remarks about this palace, you will be punished for twenty years and fined for one year."
"According to the order."
Songzhi didn't speak until Toshiba left.
"In this way, Yi Guiren will have less confidants around him. Jian Qiu will have to recover from his injury for ten days and a half, which is enough for Gu Bin to do his best."
"I have already done this. If she still disappoints me, it will be her fault."
Nian Shilan said disdainfully: "How is Guo Guiren doing over there?"
"It should be the Queen Mother's. When she came into contact with the Wu family before, she pretended to be a Yigui person. Many things were correct, so the Wu family believed it half-truly and half-falsely."
Songzhi whispered: "However, that noble man didn't find anything there."
"Then let someone check on Concubine Shu."
Nian Shilan said seemingly casually: "Prince Guo won't be able to find out anything. He has always been smart. But if he makes any moves, there will always be something unreasonable about Concubine Shu."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Songzhi hurriedly said: "Concubine Shu, you have been going to the cooling terrace very frequently recently. But the cooling terrace is surrounded by people like a dead bucket, and you can't find anything wrong at all."
"Guojun Wangyi has not yet gotten married. The Queen Mother had asked for marriage before, but he didn't respond."
Nian Shilan thought for a while and said: "Since the Queen Mother did not explain it at the time, then I will do the matchmaking."
"Your Majesty, do you want to discuss marriage with Prince Guo?"
Songzhi looked a little in disbelief: "If Prince Guo doesn't even listen to the Queen Mother, how can he listen to the Queen Mother?"
"It doesn't matter whether he listens or not. What matters is that I want to enter the Qingliang Terrace."
The determination in Nian Shilan's eyes cannot be questioned: "Let Zhou Ninghai go and tell the story that the eldest daughter of Peiguo's family will enter the palace tomorrow."
"Pei Guogong?"
Songzhi sounded a little puzzled: "Pei Guogong is a veteran. Their family has never been on good terms with our Nian family. How could the empress choose her?"
Earlier Nian Shilan had said that he would help Prince Guo to negotiate a marriage, and later he would introduce the daughter of Duke Pei. Songzhi could figure out what Nian Shilan meant no matter how unintelligent she was.
