While the emperor was still thinking about how to ask the queen mother, Nian Shilan came.
"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."
Nian Shilan came in with snacks and said with a smile: "I don't know if the emperor had lunch, so my concubine came with snacks."
"It's already been used."
As the emperor spoke, he pulled Nian Shilan to the side and sat down: "I heard that you sent Yigui people to Dali Temple?"
"What does the emperor mean by this?"
Nian Shilan has not spoken to the emperor in such a willful and coquettish tone for a long time: "There is news from Dali Temple. The Wu family said that it was Yigui who ordered her. You don't know. Now that I am the emperor, I can't let him Has she been checked?"
"I just asked one question, and I didn't know what to say as you kept saying one sentence after another."
The emperor said with a smile: "Now that we are all on the same level, why are we still so willful?"
Naturally, Nian Shilan was not really angry. When he heard what the emperor said, he changed his attitude: "I thought the emperor was pitying Yi Guiren and asked me not to worry about it. Can I not be anxious?"
"Okay, I didn't make it clear. Don't worry."
The emperor comforted Nian Shilan and said, "Tell me, come and see if there is anything wrong with me."
Nian Shilan heard the emperor change the topic and stopped mentioning it.
"Yes, I am here to seek the emperor's decree."
Nian Shilan looked at the emperor and said with a smile: "I met the young lady from Peiguo's family a few days ago. She was the one that the Queen Mother wanted to point out to King Guo. At that time, King Guo refused, but Miss Meng's song I longed for the Seventeenth Master, so I stayed unmarried."
"You want to be a matchmaker for Miss Meng?"
The emperor listened to Nian Shilan's words and thought about it. It was true that the Queen Mother wanted to propose marriage to Lao Qi, but he did not agree.
"Yes, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
Nian Shilan seemed not to understand what the emperor meant.
"Old Seventeen already refused back then, how could he agree now?"
"It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not. What I'm asking for is a marriage from the emperor. Does Prince Guo still dare to resist the emperor's imperial edict?"
Nian Shilan just looked at the emperor with bright eyes, without concealing the intention in his eyes.
"Now the Seventeenth Master is very loyal to the Queen Mother."
Nian Shilan did not explain, but the emperor immediately understood what Nian Shilan meant.
The emperor did not speak and remained silent.
Nian Shilan knew that the emperor was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
Nian Shilan was not in a hurry because she knew the emperor would agree.
The emperor was suspicious. He was already suspicious of Prince Guo because of the assassination. Now that he said that Prince Guo was loyal to the Queen Mother, he thought the emperor would consider his suggestion.
Moreover, when Prince Guo rejected Meng Jingxian, he still doesn't want to marry her now.
"Okay, I do as you wish. However, I think it's Lao Qi who doesn't want to marry, so why not give Miss Meng the title of Duke Guo's side blessing, and as for the Zheng's blessing, let's wait a little longer."
Nian Shilan was naturally dissatisfied after hearing the emperor's words.
"Or wait until she has a child and gives birth to a heir apparent to Prince Guo County, and then she will be crowned the Chief Fujin."
The emperor naturally saw Nian Shilan's unhappiness, but he still did not change his mind.
"Then I will thank the emperor on behalf of Miss Meng."
After the matter was finished, Nian Shilan didn't stay any longer.
Nian Shilan returned to Yikun Palace, but she didn't expect Zhen Huan to be waiting for her.
"When did you come? Why don't you ask someone to find me?"
Nian Shilan thought about Zhen Huan's injury and said quickly.
"My concubine has only been here for a while, but she already looks so squeamish."
Zhen Huan said with a smile: "I haven't come to see you for a long time, why don't you come here quickly?"
"You are seriously injured, so you need to take good care of yourself."
Nian Shilan smiled and waved people off.
"I heard from the emperor a few days ago that your Majesty, do you want me to raise Brother Xi?"
When Zhen Huan saw that everyone in the palace had left, she was the first to ask.
"I just said it casually,"
Nian Shilan has nothing to hide: "It's only a matter of time before the emperor brings the two princes back, and we can't let them live together in my elder brother's house."
"What the empress said is absolutely true."
Zhen Huan nodded and said, "Actually, even if the empress didn't say anything, the emperor told his concubine when he was in the palace that he wanted to bring the two princes back."
Nian Shilan didn't expect that the emperor wanted to take them back so early.
"It's just that the emperor once wanted his concubine to take care of the fifth elder brother, and elder brother Xi is already quite old. The emperor's intention is that it can be done in my elder brother's place."
Zhen Huan saw that Nian Shilan had no reaction and continued: "But after the empress mentioned that she wanted Concubine Jing to raise the fifth elder brother, the emperor hesitated."
Why did the emperor hesitate and Nian Shilan didn't take care of it, but asked Zhen Huan: "What about you? Do you want to raise them? Do you want to raise Brother Xi or Brother Five?"
It's not like Zhen Huan hasn't thought about this problem.
At first, when the emperor asked her to raise the fifth elder brother, she was a little hesitant.
The fifth elder brother grew up outside the palace, and now is the time to be naughty.
Haoyue has always been squeamish, and she is afraid that she cannot treat everyone equally.
But when Nian Shilan said that he would raise Xi'a brother, he didn't really think about it.
After all, Brother Xia is already quite old, and he already knows in his heart that she is not his mother, and I am afraid that getting along with him will be a problem in the future.
But she couldn't refuse the emperor's words, and having the prince by her side would be good for both herself and Zhen.
After Nian Shilan finished speaking, he saw Zhen Huan hesitate and guessed that Zhen Huan might not want to be raised by anyone.
"Now in the palace, Concubine Xi, Concubine Hui has six elder brothers, and Concubine Qian has seven elder brothers. You are the only one who does not have an elder brother by your side. Concubine Jing also has no heirs, so she will definitely raise one of her elder brothers. If you don't raise him, , then the concubine will be raised by the next concubine."
Nian Shilan analyzed: "No matter who comes up, this is not a balance."
Zhen Huan didn't know this, so she was confused.
"Now that Concubine An has given birth to a princess, it is reasonable to be promoted to a concubine. But I think the emperor will not think about the promotion to a concubine now, and I am afraid that it will fall on you in the end. Rather than forcing yourself to do it when the time comes, it is better to do it now. Accept it happily."
Nian Shilan's words are not without basis.
In fact, the emperor still prefers Guo Guiren.
If nothing else, the emperor still cares about Guo Luoluo's support.
Not to mention that Guo Guiren is beautiful and brainless, what could be better than this.
However, the Emperor doesn't know yet that Guo Guiren is a member of the Queen Mother. If he wanted to know, he wouldn't say anything.
"Thank you very much for thinking about me."
After listening to Nian Shilan's words, Zhen Huan understood immediately.
"I am willing to raise Brother Xia."
Nian Shilan smiled: "It's best if you can figure it out. Brother Xi'a is already old, so you don't need to put much thought into it."
"My concubine is very grateful for your thoughtful consideration."
