The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Nian Shilan smiled slightly, "This is all my responsibility. I am worried that the man will make a move again, and the emperor's safety is of utmost importance."

The emperor nodded, "Lan'er is right. I will send more people to protect the palace. But this poisonous insect... Lan'er, do you have a solution?"

Nian Shilan took out the antidote and said, "I have already obtained the antidote. However, Your Majesty should be careful just in case."

The emperor took the antidote and said with emotion: "With Lan'er by my side, I feel extremely relieved."

Nian Shilan smiled and shook her head, then casually mentioned: "Recently, Concubine Xin has been quite favored."

The emperor was a little stunned when he heard Nian Shilan's sudden change of words. After he reacted, he felt a little unhappy in his heart. He thought that Nian Shilan, who had ascended to the throne, would persuade him to treat everyone equally like Ulanara Yixiu did before. He looked at Nian Shilan with deep eyes and asked, "Are you jealous, Lan'er?"

As if she didn't see the emperor's expression clearly, Nian Shilan said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, I am now the mother of a country, how can I still do jealous things like before!"

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan, just smiled faintly and said nothing.

Nian Shilan said to herself, "I was thinking that the emperor finally found someone he likes, and Concubine Xin has served the emperor for many years and has sufficient experience. I was thinking of promoting Concubine Xin to a higher position."

When the emperor heard what Nian Shilan said, he knew that he had just wronged her, and smiled apologetically: "No need, speaking of positions, I just remembered that there should be four concubines, and now there is one more, I don't know what to do..."

When Nian Shilan heard the emperor's words, she sneered in her heart. The emperor did not mention it earlier or later, but had to mention it after she became the queen. He was just thinking of finding someone to take away some of his rights.

The five concubines today, Concubine Jing, Concubine Xi, Concubine Hui, Concubine Mi, and Concubine Duan, are all his own people. No matter who is promoted to the position of noble concubine, it will be beneficial to Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan looked at the emperor with a gentle gaze, as if she agreed with the emperor's idea and said, "Does the emperor have someone he likes?"

The emperor shook his head in a hesitant manner, "I just couldn't make up my mind for the moment, so I wanted to discuss it with Lan'er."

Nian Shilan looked very serious and said impartially and objectively: "Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing have the longest experience, and they are both thoughtful and careful in their work, so they deserve the title of Imperial Concubine. Although Concubine Xi and Concubine Hui have only been in the palace for a short time, they both have princes by their side, and they are also kind to others on weekdays. If the emperor wants to choose one of them to be the Imperial Concubine, that's fine. As for Concubine Mi..."

The emperor was listening with great interest when he saw Nian Shilan stop and said in confusion, "Lan'er, please continue. I am listening."

Seeing this, Nian Shilan had no choice but to continue, "Mi Fei is not from our Great Qing, she has been in the palace for a shorter time, and she has no children. If the emperor insists on making Mi Fei the emperor, I am willing to personally issue an order to promote her. This will also save the emperor from being advised and dissuaded by the civil and military officials on the grounds that it is not in accordance with palace rules."

The emperor listened to Nian Shilan's words and thought to himself. He understood what Nian Shilan meant, and that making Concubine Mi a noble concubine might indeed cause some controversy.

However, the emperor did not expect Nian Shilan to mention Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing, and said jokingly: "I don't know when Lan'er became friends with Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing. Among the five concubines, hasn't Lan'er always been close to Concubine Hui?"

Nian Shilan looked at the emperor with clear eyes and a sincere tone, "Your Majesty asked me about the candidate for the position of Imperial Concubine, not who I am close to. The person who holds the position of Imperial Concubine must be a person of both virtue and good conduct. This is the face of the Qing Dynasty and also the face of Your Majesty. I cannot lose the dignity of the royal family for my own personal vengeance."

The emperor listened to Nian Shilan's words and nodded in appreciation, "Lan'er has considered everything very carefully."

The emperor smiled and continued, "However, the position of the imperial concubine is of great importance and requires long-term consideration. I will consider it carefully again."

Nian Shilan nodded slightly to show her understanding. She knew that the emperor needed time to think, and she didn't need to push him too much.

"No matter what decision Your Majesty makes, you will support him." Nian Shilan said gently.

The emperor was moved and held Nian Shilan's hand, "Lan'er, it is my great honor to have you by my side."

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere became warm and harmonious.

At this time, Su Peisheng was asking for an audience outside the palace. After the emperor heard it, he let Su Peisheng in.

After Su Peisheng entered the palace, he glanced at the affectionate emperor and Nian Shilan, and then whispered, "I congratulate the emperor and the queen. There is good news from the palace. Fu Cha is now two months pregnant."

The emperor was somewhat happy when he heard this and said, "But is it true?"

When Nian Shilan heard the good news reported by Su Peisheng, she smiled meaningfully, then turned around and looked at the emperor with joy on her face, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the palace will soon have another prince or princess."

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan very happily and said, "Lan'er, you are really my lucky star."

Nian Shilan smiled shyly, "Your Majesty, Fucha agreed to meet you for the first time, Your Majesty can't treat Sister Fucha harshly."

Upon hearing this, the emperor waved his hand proudly and said, "Su Peisheng, pass on my order. Ask Fu Cha to promise to take good care of the baby. Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get anything you need."

When Su Peisheng heard the emperor's words, he responded and was about to go downstairs to convey the emperor's order, but was stopped by Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan looked at the emperor seriously and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, it's very hot in the capital right now. Sister Fucha is pregnant for the first time, so she must be a little nervous. Why don't you take Sister Fucha to the Summer Palace in Yuanmingyuan to live there for a while? Your Majesty can also spend more time with Sister Fucha when you have time. I think with the protection of your dragon body, Sister Fucha's pregnancy will be safe and sound."

After hearing what Nian Shilan said, the emperor thought about it. Fu Cha promised that he was still young and he was not in the palace. If he was really killed, there would be problems with the heir to the throne.

When the emperor thought of this, he said to Su Peisheng, "What the queen said makes sense. Pass on my order to bring Fu Cha Ying back from the Forbidden City."

Su Peisheng responded quickly and arranged for someone to deliver the message.

After Su Peisheng left, the emperor looked at Nian Shilan with tenderness in his eyes, and said with great satisfaction: "It's hard for Lan'er to consider it so carefully."

Nian Shilan said without taking credit: "I just did my duty. Your Majesty is already too tired in the previous dynasty. I should manage the harem well and not let Your Majesty worry about the affairs of the harem."
