The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

At this moment, Eunuch Su asked for a meeting outside the palace.

After hearing this, Nian Shilan hurriedly called for Eunuch Su to come into the palace. Nian Gengyao and Madam Nian also stood up, and when they saw Su Peisheng, Nian Shilan was the first to speak: "Why is Eunuch Su here? Does the emperor have anything to say to Eunuch Su?"

Su Peisheng bowed respectfully to Nian Shilan, Nian Gengyao and Madam Nian, then said with a smile: "The emperor is very busy with government affairs today, so he will not come to Yikun Palace for lunch. He specially asked me to come and inform the Imperial Noble Consort. I also asked me to bring some pots. The emperor remembered that the emperor loved to eat, so he prepared a few more meals. You can eat them without worry. I have been watching them. The servants have also brought the meals to the small kitchen in Yikun Palace. When the emperor and his family have dinner, the small kitchen will deliver them to the emperor."

After hearing this, Nian Shilan was very happy, "I thank the emperor very much, and I also trouble Eunuch Su. I hope Eunuch Su can tell the emperor to take care of himself and remember to have lunch."

Su Peisheng smiled and nodded, "I will definitely bring it there." Then he left Yikun Palace.

Seeing this, Madam Nian walked towards Nian Shilan and whispered, "The emperor has been very considerate to you recently, so you don't have to suffer so much during your pregnancy."

Nian Shilan smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Since our Nian family stepped down, the emperor has treated me with some sincerity."

When Nian Gengyao heard what Nian Shilan said, he felt a little relieved.

Nian Shilan then remembered the half-finished words her brother had just said, which were delayed by her crying, so she asked with a smile, "By the way, brother just said that Lord Zhen is on good terms with you, and then what?"

When Nian Gengyao thought about it, he recalled Zhen Yuandao's expression when he told him that day, and he couldn't help laughing. "Guaerjia Emin went to find Zhen Yuandao and Shen Zishan a few days ago after the officials left the court, saying that a new restaurant had opened in the capital, and he wanted to have a drink with them and reminisce about the past. After Lord Shen left on the pretext of something, Brother Zhen and Guaerjia Emin went. They just wanted to find out the news in the palace and the selection of the new queen. Unexpectedly, Guaerjia Emin didn't find out anything, and Zhen Yuandao dragged him to talk about the couple's love stories for an entire afternoon, and finally cheated Guaerjia Emin out of a full 1,000 taels of silver. Guaerjia Emin was so angry that she avoided Brother Zhen when she saw him these days."

Seeing this, Nian Shilan couldn't help but laugh until she was out of breath, and said intermittently: "It is true that like father, like daughter."

When Nian Gengyao heard what Nian Shilan said, he nodded in agreement and said, "Well, the fact that Concubine Xi was able to secure her position as a concubine within just a few years of entering the palace is enough to show her scheming and methods."

After hearing this, Nian Shilan added: "Yes, Zhen Huan inherited her father's cunning, and Guarjia Wenyuan inherited his father's brains. Haha, it's really interesting."

When Nian Gengyao heard Nian Shilan mention Guarjia Wenyuan, he asked, "Has she ever been against you since she entered the palace?"

Nian Shilan said indifferently: "Her? Not to be feared. I have schemed against her many times since she entered the palace. It has been almost a year since she entered the palace, but she still has not been favored."

Seeing this, Nian Gengyao calmed himself down and said, "Don't worry. If she dares to bully you, you should fight back fiercely. Although my brother is not in the court, he also has certain connections."

Nian Shilan smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother. I'm not someone you can easily bully."

Nian Gengyao finally felt relieved, and then he asked tentatively: "You are right about the emperor?"

Nian Shilan knew what her brother wanted to ask, and a mocking smile flashed across her lips, "I treat him less well than usual, but I also understand that if I want to survive in the harem, I can't do without the emperor's favor, so my sister and the emperor are still doing well, brother don't have to worry."

Nian Gengyao looked at his sister's current appearance. She had been a pampered babe since childhood, but after entering the palace, she was forced to make calculations and put away her true feelings. For a moment, the general who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield and was so majestic that he shed blood but no tears could not help but have tears in his eyes and was very sad.

Nian Shilan looked at her brother and comforted him, "Brother, I am fine. Now I am the Imperial Consort in this palace. No matter who becomes the Queen above me in the future, my life will not be difficult."

Seeing this, Nian Gengyao and Madam Nian realized that most of the people in the harem were already Nian Shilan's confidants.

Nian Gengyao has now faced the reality and no longer dares to hope that his sister can become the queen. Now Nian Gengyao's greatest wish is that his sister can live the rest of her life in peace.

Happy times are always short-lived. Soon the sun sets and Nian Gengyao is about to leave the palace with his wife. Nian Gengyao is worried and tells her, "You must take good care of yourself. If anything happens, remember to have the secret guards send a message to me. I will protect you even if it costs my life."

Nian Shilan said with tears in her eyes: "Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. You and sister-in-law should also take good care of yourselves. When my sister is about to give birth, I will ask the emperor to send sister-in-law to the palace to keep me company."

Madam Nian took Nian Shilan's hand and said gently, "Okay, I will find you a few reliable midwives when the time comes, and I will not let you suffer."

There was a hint of warmth in Nian Shilan's eyes, "Don't worry, sister-in-law will do the job."

No matter how inseparable they were, Nian Gengyao and Madam Nian had to leave the palace to avoid any gossip that would make it difficult for Nian Shilan to stay in the palace.

After her brother left, Nian Shilan sat in the palace, looking at the empty room, feeling a little sad. The emperor came in and asked, "My beloved concubine, are you unhappy?"

When Nian Shilan saw the emperor, she stood up quickly, but was held down by the emperor. "You are pregnant now, so there is no need to be polite. I see that my beloved concubine looks a little lonely. Are you still unhappy to be reunited with your brother and sister-in-law today?"

Nian Shilan said in a low voice, "It is because the time we spend together is always too short. The Yikun Palace, which was bustling just now, has suddenly become so deserted. I feel a little uncomfortable."

Seeing this, the emperor took Nian Shilan's hand and lifted her up from the stool, "Then accompany me for a walk."

Nian Shilan didn't want to go, so she said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, I am a little tired."

But what Nian Shilan didn't expect was that the emperor was very obsessed with going out for a walk. After Nian Shilan said that she was tired, he ordered Su Peisheng, "Go and arrange a sedan chair."

Seeing this, Nian Shilan knew that she had to accompany the emperor for a walk, so she said softly, "Then I will go change my clothes."

The emperor nodded and sat down in the main hall to wait for Nian Shilan. Nian Shilan returned to the bedroom, looked at her clothes, and finally chose her favorite red peony dress. After changing, Songzhi dressed her up and went to the main hall to find the emperor.
