That is, after more than half a month, the news of Jing Bai's favored status began to ferment in the capital.

"Ridiculous, Your Majesty is really ridiculous."

When Concubine Duan received the news, she hurried to Yiku Palace. As soon as she entered the room, she got angry.

Also coming upon hearing the news were Concubine Jing, Concubine Qi, Concubine Qi, Noble Lady Fucha, and Concubine An.

Naturally, they couldn't stand the emperor's behavior. Why didn't he favor so many young and beautiful concubines in the palace, but went to Ganlu Temple to favor an old and ugly nun!

"Alright, alright, it's already happened. It's useless for us to get angry here. We should think about what to do next. If this gets out, won't the sisters in the harem be laughed at?"

Nian Shilan saw it clearly, but even if he wanted to hide the matter now, he couldn't, because the previous dynasty already knew about it.

"It's really unlucky. If I see her someday, I will smash her mouth."

Concubine Qi was so angry that her teeth were itching.

Nian Shilan glanced at her and said, "Sister Qi Fei, you said this, but what's the point of just saying it? I'm afraid that others may not look down on us."

It's really not certain. Nian Shilan is the queen, Jingbai might be a little afraid of her, but people like Concubine Qi are of similar age, Jingbai may not take them seriously.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Before these people could say a few words, the emperor came over.

"It's still early at this hour. Why did the emperor come here so early?"

Nian Shilan muttered something, but without thinking anything else, she stood up to greet him.

"May the Emperor be blessed with good health." Nian Shilan and others greeted him at the door.

The emperor, however, walked straight into the palace angrily, ignoring everyone.

It seems that the emperor is not in a good mood. After entering the palace, no one dared to say anything. Nian Shilan looked at Su Peisheng's expression and knew that this matter was not simple.

Even Su Peisheng didn't dare to speak carelessly.

Nian Shilan slowly made a cup of tea for the emperor, and then said, "Your Majesty, please have a cup of tea to cool down first."

"I don't feel like drinking tea." The emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced around, and found that everyone was there: "It just so happens that you are all here, I guess you have heard about this too."

Yes, it was about Jingbai. Now this matter was spreading all over the city. Nian Shilan now knew why the emperor was worried.

"Your Majesty, how can you be so confused..." Concubine Qi started to complain first, but she only said that the emperor was confused and didn't say anything else.

The emperor obviously didn't like what she said. He didn't respond to her and just looked at her coldly. Seeing this, she also shut her mouth.

"Concubine Qi, do you think you can criticize the emperor?" Nian Shilan's expression turned cold. She glanced at Concubine Qi and then scolded her.

"Now that it has happened, what is the Emperor going to do?"

After scolding Concubine Qi, Nian Shilan turned around and spoke to the emperor in a gentle tone.

The main thing is that we still don’t know what the emperor is thinking. This is difficult to deal with. We also have to see what solutions the emperor and the previous dynasty can come up with.

But Nian Shilan now has an idea in her mind.

She wanted to welcome Jingbai into the palace.

First of all, if Jingbai enters the palace, it will not only add to the emperor's criticism, but will also disgust him all day long. Secondly, all the concubines in the harem hate Jingbai so much, so how can they give her a good life?

"There is no solution, that's why I am worried!"

The emperor didn't want to mention this matter at all, but now he had to solve it, so he came to Yikun Palace, but he didn't expect everyone to be there.

Nian Shilan did not respond to the emperor's words immediately, but thought for a long time.

"Your Majesty, I think people like Jingbai should be killed to prevent future troubles."

Qi often said this. She looked obedient, but I didn't expect that she had such a vicious heart.

However, not only Concubine Qi thought so, but even Concubine Qi and Noble Fucha all agreed with this method.

This was not to eliminate future troubles for the Qing Dynasty, but to relieve their hatred.

"No." Concubine Duan tried to stop him. Her expression was cold, but she could see strategy in her eyes and eyebrows: "This will make people think that the emperor is killing innocent people indiscriminately, and it will be even more difficult to stop the gossips."

"That's right." Nian Shilan took over Concubine Duan's words: "I think that the emperor should welcome Master Jingbai into the palace!"

Everyone looked at Nian Shilan in surprise. Although Concubine Duan did not agree to kill Jingbai, she had never thought of welcoming him into the palace.

However, since Nian Shilan said so, Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing could only cooperate. She must have thought it over carefully and had her own intentions.

Myself and Concubine Jing will help her succeed.

"Empress, do you want to see what we are talking about?" Qi Changzai screamed in disbelief.

"What am I talking about? Doesn't Qi Changzai have ears?"

Nian Shilan could see that Qi Changzai's anger was written all over her face, so she naturally didn't want Jingbai to enter the palace.

But even if we look at it openly now, if Jingbai does not enter the palace, there is no other good way.

The emperor sat aside without saying a word, seemingly considering everything carefully.

"Shilan, is there any other way?"

The emperor knew Nian Shilan's good intentions, but welcoming Jingbai into the palace would make him a laughing stock of the world.

But I couldn't kill him, it was really a headache. It was also my fault because I was so impatient at that time.

Nian Shilan looked at the emperor's eyes and shook her head: "I know that the emperor has no choice but to do this. I don't want the emperor to do anything. Just bring her back to the palace, give her a position, and keep her. If you really don't care about her, it's inevitable that others will say that the emperor is heartless, just like before..."

Nian Shilan stopped there and did not continue speaking. Of course, the emperor knew what she would say. What happened to Li Jingui back then was exactly the same.

It’s just that I was reprimanded by the late emperor back then.

I don't want to be criticized this time.

It seems that this is the only feasible method.

Seeing that the emperor seemed to be wavering, Qi Changzai became a little worried: "Your Majesty..."

She wanted to dissuade him, but was interrupted by the emperor: "Just do as the queen says. No need to say more. Choose an auspicious day and enter the palace."

"That Wanpin..."

Since Jingbai can enter the palace, Nian Shilan will naturally mention Zhen Huan. Maybe the emperor will take her back as well.

Wouldn't it save a lot of effort?

"Since Jingbai has entered the palace, Wanpin will naturally remain. Her position and title will remain the same. As for Suiyuxuan, I will have someone repair it tomorrow and try to keep it in its original state so that she won't feel uncomfortable living there."

Having Zhen Huan come back is a kind of psychological comfort to the emperor.
