Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 456 The Emperor Reveals His Heart

"Yes." Zhou Ninghai didn't say anything else and did as Nian Shilan instructed.

The next morning, the ceremonial clothes for Nian Shilan's enthronement were delivered.

"After all, the Queen's things are different." Nian Shilan picked up the auspicious dress and looked at it carefully.

This thing in front of her means that she has reached the pinnacle of power!

Immediately, she will become the most honorable woman in the entire palace. The Queen Mother is gone, and she becomes the Queen. Isn't she the most honorable?

"Congratulations, Queen. Congratulations, Queen."

Jiang Zhongmin from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a man who knows how to talk and do things. Seeing that Nian Shilan is the most favored woman in the entire harem, he naturally has to curry favor with her.

"Okay, you go down first. I'll clean up after myself. Tomorrow is my coronation ceremony, and I will certainly not miss out on rewards."

Nian Shilan smiled and said, "I also know that you are capable. Don't worry, as long as you are filial to me, I will certainly not be short of benefits from you in the future."

Jiang Zhongmin is not a fool. After hearing what Nian Shilan said, he happily agreed.

Everyone knows that Nian Shilan is famous for her generosity in the harem. If one can gain Nian Shilan's appreciation, then one would be climbing up the social ladder.

Now, all the eunuchs and maids in the palace are trying hard to curry favor with Nian Shilan, but they need an opportunity to do so.

But Nian Shilan knew that if everyone did this, it would not be a good thing. Even if she became the queen, if the emperor was suspicious of her, it would be better not to do it, as it would be of no use.

After listening to Nian Shilan's words, Jiang Zhongmin happily withdrew.

After a while, the emperor came over after his morning court session.

Seeing that Nian Shilan's position is getting higher and higher, although Nian Gengyao is already dead, the emperor can't help but feel wary.

But looking at the entire harem, Nian Shilan is the most suitable for the position of queen.

"May the emperor be blessed with good health. Why did the emperor come here so early?"

Nian Shilan watched the emperor coming over. Now that she was about to be crowned queen, her attitude towards the emperor seemed much better than before.

The emperor was not unaware of this. He always felt that as long as she was willing to spend time and effort on him, it was good.

All the women in the harem are like this.

Compared with Wanpin, Nian Shilan is much more obedient. Wanpin is too stubborn.

However, although the emperor is reluctant to mention Wanpin, her shadow can be seen everywhere in the harem, and it would be difficult to forget her.

"Tomorrow is your coronation ceremony, and I wanted to come and see you."

The emperor took a quick look around the Yikun Palace and asked, "Is there anything you need to buy?"

Yixiu was deposed, and now the emperor has finally fulfilled his wish and made Nian Shilan the queen, so naturally he wants to give her all the good things.

Although the Yikun Palace is now magnificent, the emperor always feels that something is missing.

"Your Majesty, I feel that there is no need to add to the Yikun Palace."

After hearing what the emperor said, Nian Shilan quickly refused: "If the emperor buys more, I am afraid I will not be able to live in peace."

"What kind of fragrance is burning in your palace?"

As soon as the emperor said this, Nian Shilan suddenly realized that what she lit was not the ambergris given to her by the emperor, but the Huanyi incense that she had collected before.

Ever since her brother passed away, she no longer uses the kind that An Lingrong had mixed before, but the Huanyi incense that the emperor had truly bestowed upon her, also to commemorate her brother.

"Your Majesty, I am currently using Huan Yi Xiang."

Fearing that the emperor might notice something was wrong, Nian Shilan quickly explained, "Although the ambergris given by the emperor is good, there is still some unused Huanyi incense left. I am about to be crowned as the queen, and I want to set an example and promote frugality. Huanyi incense is precious, so how can I waste it?"

Nian Shilan was right, and this also changed her image in the emperor's mind.

"Well, I'll leave it to you."

The emperor thought that there shouldn't be much of this thing left, and since she wanted to set an example, he would let her do it as long as she was happy.

The emperor now dotes on Nian Shilan to the extreme.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I will have someone deliver the Queen's seal to you in a moment, just keep it safe."

"Yes, I understand."

Nian Shilan naturally understood that as long as he got the Queen's seal, he would have the real power.

"Shilan, tomorrow, you will be my legitimate queen."

The emperor took Nian Shilan's hand and said, "I have thought that I will not move your palace. After all, you have lived in this Yikun Palace for many years, and it is not convenient to move. What's more, Jingren Palace is not as spacious and magnificent as Yikun Palace, and no Yikun Palace can match my Shilan!"

The current emperor considers Nian Shilan in everything.

Nian Shilan must also understand in her heart that the emperor is acting like this for her now, and he must have suffered a lot of anger during the morning court session.

"Did the emperor suffer any injustice because of Shilan during his morning court session?"

Nian Shilan asked with concern. She could not just do nothing in front of the emperor. She should at least say something the emperor wanted to hear.

In fact, she didn't just pick out words that the emperor liked, most of them were what was in Nian Shilan's heart.

If only the emperor had loved me like this earlier, or had spared my brother's life, I might not have hated the emperor so much. But I can't go back. Everything is gone.

Not to mention the emperor, haven't I also made a lot of calculations against the emperor?

"It's okay, but some ministers think it's inappropriate to make you the queen, and they are still talking about it. But it's strange that after seeing Zhang Tingyu's attitude change, those people also became more favorable."

The situation at the morning court was something the emperor had not expected, and even more so Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan didn't expect that Zhang Tingyu could still speak for herself. It seemed that Zhang Tingyu listened to E Min's words.

Anyway, it's a good thing.

"I'm glad you're alright. I don't want to embarrass His Majesty. If I really do, I'd rather not be the queen. Shilan just wants to be with His Majesty forever."

Nian Shilan's speech has become more teaspy now, but the emperor can't help but like to listen to it.

"It doesn't matter."

The emperor stayed with Nian Shilan for a while, and only left in the evening and went to Baohua Palace.

"The Queen's Mother."

The emperor drove away all the people and knelt alone in front of the empress dowager's spirit tablet: "Tomorrow is the day when Shilan will be crowned as the queen. I know that the empress dowager will blame me for deposing Yixiu, but I also ask the empress dowager to understand that I will never let go of what Yixiu did to Chunyuan. I also know that the empress dowager just turned a blind eye to what happened back then."
