The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn
Chapter 39 Eavesdropping from outside the door
Nian Shilan and Madam Nian had almost finished chatting when they heard Songzhi whisper outside the door, "Madam, General Nian is here."
The two people in the room looked at each other, and after restraining their expressions, Nian Shilan said, "Hurry and let brother in."
Nian Gengyao followed Songzhi into the main hall and said with a hearty laugh, "What are you two whispering about? You even sent the servants out."
Nian Shilan said in a coquettish voice: "My sister-in-law and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Of course, there are many women's things to talk about. It is inconvenient for the palace servants to talk in the palace. So I asked them to leave."
Nian Shilan looked at her brother. This was the first time she saw him since her rebirth. Thinking of her brother's tragic death in her previous life, her heart ached. Her brother had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time. The border was bitterly cold, and her brother's skin had become very dry. When Nian Shilan saw her brother like this, her eyes were filled with tears unconsciously.
When Nian Gengyao saw his sister like this, he panicked instantly and hurried forward to ask with concern: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Did the emperor wrong you? My Nian family has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, he..."
Before Nian Gengyao could finish his words, he was grabbed by Nian Shilan and his wife, stopping him from saying the next words.
Nian Shilan quickly said, "Brother, the emperor has never wronged me. You must understand that this country belongs to the Aixinjueluo family."
Seeing Nian Gengyao's disdainful expression, she said again: "Brother, you don't know my temper yet. I am the favored Concubine Hua, and I have the Emperor's support. Who dares to wrong me?"
Nian Gengyao was relieved to see that Nian Shilan had become confident and proud again.
Seeing that her brother was no longer suspicious, Nian Shilan was relieved and asked again, "Why are you here, brother?"
Nian Gengyao said nonchalantly, "The emperor still has government affairs to attend to, so he asked me to come first and said he would come for lunch later."
Nian Shilan thought about her previous life, when she was dining with her brother and the emperor, her brother actually asked Su Peisheng to serve him the food.
Who is Su Peisheng? He is a confidant who has served the emperor since he was a child and has always been by his side. His brother actually dared to let him serve the dishes. This is a slap in the face to the emperor. How could the emperor tolerate this?
Thinking of this, Nian Shilan hurriedly reminded her brother: "Brother, when the emperor comes to eat later, you must remember that the emperor is the one who values rules the most. He is the monarch and we are all subjects. You must abide by your duties and never do anything disrespectful to the emperor, let alone order the palace servants around the emperor around."
Nian Gengyao waved his hands impatiently: "It's these rules that I hate the most. How did you learn to do this after entering the palace? We military commanders have always conquered the world with our fists."
Before Nian Shilan could say anything, Madam Nian angrily rebuked Nian Gengyao, "Just listen to what Shilan says, and don't cause trouble for her in the palace."
When Nian Gengyao heard his wife speak, he was afraid of angering her, so he said angrily, "Okay, okay, I got it."
Nian Shilan looked at her brother and sister-in-law getting along with each other and couldn't help but smile. She felt a little envious in her heart. If she had not married the emperor, would she also have such a harmonious marriage and lovely children?
When Nian Shilan was daydreaming, she suddenly heard a secret code that belonged only to her and Songzhi.
Nian Shilan quickly winked at her sister-in-law, and Mrs. Nian nodded in understanding.
The emperor came to the Yikun Palace without asking his servants to inform everyone, just because he wanted to hear what they were talking about.
I only heard Nian Shilan say indifferently in the palace: "Brother has not been in good health, and his old illness has not healed. Sister-in-law still needs to take care of him in the mansion. If there is a chance, I will plead with the emperor to allow brother to hand over the military power and recuperate in the mansion. This can be regarded as fulfilling brother's love for you."
Nian Gengyao was about to say something when his wife grabbed him hard. He only heard his wife say to Nian Shilan: "Yes, I hope your majesty will also take care of it. The Nian family has always been grateful for the emperor's kindness and will never forget it. However, my husband has not been in good health, and I am also very worried. Although the military power has been handed over, if the emperor needs to ask the Nian family for help in the future, the Nian family will definitely die for it."
After saying these words, Madam Nian looked at Nian Shilan's reaction, afraid that she might have said something wrong. Nian Shilan also saw her sister-in-law's worry, smiled and nodded slightly at her, and Madam Nian was relieved.
The emperor didn't expect to hear such words outside, and was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he glanced at Su Peisheng, who immediately understood.
"Your Majesty, please slow down." Su Peisheng's voice came from outside the palace.
The moment Songzhi saw the emperor, he waved his hand and signaled her to retreat.
When Nian Shilan and his companions heard Su Peisheng's voice, they quickly stood up and saw the emperor striding into the main hall.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Nian Shilan was the first to kneel down and pay her respects to the emperor.
When Nian Gengyao and his wife saw Nian Shilan saluting the emperor, they also knelt down hurriedly and said, "Your humble servant (the minister's wife) pays respects to the emperor."
The emperor walked up to Nian Shilan, helped her up, smiled and looked at Nian Gengyao and his wife and said, "No need to be polite. You are all Shilan's relatives, and naturally you are also a family to me. Today is just a family dinner, so don't be restrained."
