The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

The next morning, when Su Peisheng was calling the emperor to get up and go to court, the emperor felt a splitting headache and couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have drunk so much yesterday.

Nian Shilan also hurriedly stood up and helped the emperor change his clothes. Nian Shilan had been carefully trying to observe the emperor's expression. Seeing that the emperor always looked thoughtful, Nian Shilan felt a little nervous.

The emperor finally asked, "Did I say anything to you last night?"

Nian Shilan answered cautiously, "I was a little drunk last night, so I don't remember much about what happened last night. I only remember that I asked the emperor if he was worried about anything, and the emperor seemed to say that he was worried about state affairs."

After Nian Shilan finished speaking, she secretly observed the emperor's expression. She clearly saw that the emperor relaxed a lot after hearing what she said. Nian Shilan also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan and said, "My beloved concubine, please go to bed early. You must have worked hard in serving me yesterday."

Then the emperor thought of Nian Shilan's charming and lovely appearance last night. He was still a little unsatisfied for a moment, so he gently rubbed Nian Shilan's buttocks and praised: "You were very good last night!"

When Nian Shilan heard the emperor's words, her cheeks turned slightly red and she glared at him coquettishly. The emperor liked the charm in her eyes very much and said, "Be prepared well, I will come again tonight." Then he walked out of the bedroom with a smile.

After the emperor left, Nian Shilan yawned and lay back on the couch, silently complaining in his heart, after drinking so much wine, he still had the mind to do this, so many concubines in the harem couldn't satisfy him!

Now that Ulanara Yixiu had been deposed and the throne of empress was vacant, there was no procedure for paying respects, and Nian Shilan slept until noon before getting up.

Feeling a bit bored, she asked Songzhi to go to Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong to see if they had time and invite them to play mahjong together.

Zhen Huan and the others were also a little bored. When they heard Nian Shilan's invitation, they couldn't wait to dress up and came to Yikun Palace with silver ingots.

While waiting for the three of them to arrive, Nian Shilan felt a little bored, so she leaned back in her chair and ate her favorite crab meat cakes to satisfy her toothpick.

When Nian Shilan saw that several people had arrived, she said excitedly, "Quick, Songzhi, prepare everything quickly, and prepare some tea for them. Today, I will kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor!"

Seeing this, Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, and An Lingrong looked at Nian Shilan and joked, "Look at this Imperial Concubine. I don't know if she is very capable, but she is quite arrogant!"

Nian Shilan snorted disdainfully, "You will know how capable I am in a moment! Let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to leave crying."

While Nian Shilan was arguing with Zhen Huan and the others, Songzhi prepared everything and poured tea for all the ladies. Nian Shilan was ready to start his God of Gamblers moment.

"Hey, Rongpin, do you know how to play?"

"Haha, Your Majesty, I win!"

"Humph, good things are worth waiting for. Do you know that I am just giving in to you?"

"Ha! I won. Concubine Xi, stop playing dirty and give me the money."

For a moment, chattering sounds could be heard from the main hall of Yikun Palace, making it very lively.

Zhou Ninghai was standing guard outside the palace. Hearing the laughter inside, he said to Songzhi, "I haven't seen our queen so happy in a long time. When she was in the Nian Mansion, she loved playing mahjong the most."

Song Zhi laughed when she heard Zhou Ninghai's words, "Yes, I don't know when the Queen became a different person, but I think the Queen is very good now, and has become more humane."

Zhou Ninghai also nodded in agreement, "The queen is getting better now, and we, as servants, must protect our master well."

Song Zhi had been with Nian Shilan for a long time and had learned her true skills. She rolled her eyes and looked at Zhou Ninghai and said, "Do I need you to tell me?"

Zhou Ninghai was not annoyed, but touched his head with a smile.

Happy times always pass quickly, and the final result of the leaf card game was that Nian Shilan lost, and the other three won.

Zhen Huan won the most. When she was leaving, her purse was full of silver ingots. She and Huanbi still had a lot in their hands. She looked at Nian Shilan in a servile manner and said, "If your Majesty the Imperial Concubine is bored and wants to play mahjong, remember to call me! I have been very poor since I entered the palace. I rely on your mahjong for help."

Nian Shilan couldn't stand Zhen Huan's smug look, and angrily threw her handkerchief on the table and said, "Take your things and get out of my Yikun Palace as soon as possible."

Zhen Huan was not afraid at all. She took the silver and left happily. Along the way, she said to Huanbi happily, "I will be rich and noble in the days ahead!"

Huanbi also smiled and responded, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that the Imperial Noble Consort will be angry when you mock her like this?"

Zhen Huan shook her head confidently and said, "She? She won't care about this money."

Huanbi didn't know why Zhen Huan was so confident, but when she thought about how Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan had gotten along in the past, she also felt that the Imperial Concubine was not such a stingy person, so she felt relieved.

After Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang left, An Lingrong stayed behind. Nian Shilan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why? Do you want to win over me again?"

After hearing this, An Lingrong waved her hands and said that this was not what she meant.

Seeing An Lingrong like this, Nian Shilan was a little angry and said, "Why are you always so cautious? You must remember that you are the Concubine Rong appointed by the Emperor himself. You are no less than anyone else."

An Lingrong nodded and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I have been following your instructions these days and paying attention to the new concubines who have entered the palace. I have noticed that Wen Da Ying has been spending too much time with Concubine Jin."

After hearing this, Nian Shilan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Are they the only two? No one else?"

An Lingrong nodded affirmatively, "Ever since Riwen agreed to report the different backgrounds of Sister Huan's twins and was reprimanded by the Emperor, he has believed that I and Concubine Yi had framed her, and he no longer sees me, but instead visits Concubine Jin's palace every day."

Nian Shilan thought for a moment and told An Lingrong, "Wen Da Ying is a fool. You should think of a way to deceive her and continue to be friends with her."

An Lingrong looked at Nian Shilan in surprise, "I am stupid, and this promise is a useless chess piece. Why is Your Majesty so concerned about it?"

Seeing this, Nian Shilan gave An Lingrong some advice, "Ms. Jin's father is Lord Longkodo, an important official in the court. The Queen Mother has some friendship with Lord Longkodo. I am worried that the Queen is using the name of Wen Da Ying to communicate with Ms. Jin."

An Lingrong suddenly realized, "I know. By the way, my mother wrote to me a few days ago saying that Daddy has been much more well-behaved recently, thanks to the nanny sent by the queen to advise her. My father now intends to make her his co-wife."

Nian Shilan smiled and said, "It's okay. You and I are sisters. I am happy to be able to help you. It's a good thing that your mother was promoted to a co-wife. I will send a gift to your mother on that day."

An Lingrong naturally understood what Nian Shilan meant. He was intending to show everyone in the mansion that she and her mother were protected by the Nian Mansion. An Lingrong thanked Nian Shilan gratefully.
