The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

The emperor saw that it was still early and not time for dinner, and he remembered that Concubine Fang was leaving the cold palace today, so he walked towards Chunxi Palace.

Nian Shilan heard in Yiku Palace that the Queen Mother was going to give rewards to Huipin. Recalling that in the previous life, the Queen Mother gave her a hairpin with the words He and He. After thinking about it, she asked Songzhi to prepare some supplements and go to Xianfu Palace with her.

Even if Nian Shilan went, it didn't matter if the emperor knew about it. Because everyone in the harem was like this, no matter how good the relationship was, as long as the concubine was pregnant, they would personally prepare gifts and go there to show the emperor how virtuous she was.

It just so happened that Concubine Wan also heard the news, and took Huanbi to Xianfu Palace again. Unexpectedly, she met Concubine Hua on the way, so she went with her to Concubine Hui.

On the way, Concubine Hua whispered, "Concubine Wan, do you know the origin of the two immortals Hehe?"

Zhen Huan also whispered back, "That's why I came to remind Sister Mei because I know this."

Nian Shilan felt relieved when she heard this. It was good to know. With the memory of the previous life, they could keep Shen Meizhuang from falling out of favor.

In his previous life, the reason why the emperor was so furious about Shen Meizhuang's fake pregnancy and did not investigate it carefully was because Shen Meizhuang did not know about the hairpin and wore it flauntingly every day. The emperor used Meizhuang's fake pregnancy as an excuse to vent his anger.

When they arrived at Xianfu Palace, Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan went straight to Cunju Hall without informing the palace servants, and saw Shen Meizhuang sitting at the table, playing with the Hehe Erxian coin in her hand, and looking dazed.

Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan looked at the hairpin in Shen Meizhuang's hand and looked at each other: As expected.

Nian Shilan couldn't help but wonder how much the Queen Mother hated the Emperor that she would make things difficult for him at such an important moment. The Queen Mother's love for the Fourteenth Master was a taboo for the Emperor. The Queen Mother also specially awarded this hairpin to Shen Meizhuang. Did the Queen Mother value Shen Meizhuang or did she want Shen Meizhuang to fall out of favor as soon as possible? Nian Shilan was puzzled.

Seeing Nian Shilan looking at the hairpin with a thoughtful look on her face, Zhen Huan ignored her and walked to Shen Meizhuang first, calling out, "Sister Mei."

Shen Meizhuang was startled when she suddenly heard Zhen Huan's voice. She came to her senses and saw that Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan were both there. She hurriedly said, "You are all here. Please sit down."

Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan were not pretentious. After they sat down, Nian Shilan said, "I saw you were in a daze just now. Are you worried about something?"

Normally, if there is no one else around, the three of them would talk to each other in a you-and-me-all manner, without any of the baggage of the concubines in the palace.

Shen Meizhuang heard Nian Shilan's question and nodded, saying, "The emperor was here with me just now. He wanted to accompany me, but the empress dowager asked Aunt Zhuxi to bring me this hairpin. Then the emperor looked unhappy. After Aunt Zhuxi left, the emperor left too."

After Shen Meizhuang finished speaking, she even handed the hairpin forward. Nian Shilan understood what she had thought.

Zhen Huan suddenly remembered that she had never told Shen Meiyu about her dream about her previous life. She and Sister Mei entered the palace at the same time, and she had no way to explain the matter of the hairpin to Sister Mei, so she looked to Nian Shilan for help.

Nian Shilan understood, rolled her eyes at Zhen Huan, and said, "Don't wear this hairpin given to you by the Queen Mother on weekdays."

Shen Meizhuang looked at Nian Shilan in confusion and asked, "Why is that? It's the Queen Mother's wish. If I don't wear it, wouldn't I be offending the Queen Mother?"

Nian Shilan asked Shen Meizhuang directly: "Do you want to offend the Queen Mother or the Emperor?"

Shen Meizhuang didn't understand what Nian Shilan meant.

Nian Shilan sighed and continued, "This hairpin was made for the Queen Mother by the late Emperor when she was pregnant with the Fourteenth Prince. The Emperor did not grow up with the Queen Mother since he was a child, and the Queen Mother and the late Emperor doted on the Fourteenth Prince very much. What do you think the Emperor would think if he saw this often?"

As soon as Nian Shilan said this, Shen Meizhuang understood. No wonder the emperor had a strange look on his face when he saw the hairpin.

Shen Meizhuang said repeatedly: "I know, I will ask someone to put it away right away."

Nian Shilan nodded and said nothing more. Zhen Huan was relieved to see that Shen Meizhuang also knew the pros and cons of the matter.

Nian Shilan continued, "In a few days, if my guess is correct, the Queen will assign a maid to you on the pretext that you are pregnant and need someone to serve you. Remember that the maid who serves you personally must be your confidant. You must do your best to perform well and never fail at the last moment."

Shen Meizhuang said she knew, "Doctor Wen also told me that although the pregnancy has only been going on for a short time, the pulse is still stable."

Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan nodded, and Nian Shilan said, "Take good care of it. If the queen is plotting something, I'm afraid something bad will happen soon."

At this moment, Zhen Huan also began to retch. Nian Shilan and Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan immediately. Zhen Huan smiled and said, "I haven't had time to tell you two sisters yet, but I'm also one month pregnant."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Meizhuang said happily, "Really? Huan'er."

Nian Shilan was also surprised. This time was earlier than in the previous life.

Zhen Huan nodded and said, "Please keep this a secret for me, sisters. I don't plan to report this yet."

As Nian Shilan listened, she had a feeling that Zhen Huan might be planning a big move.

Shen Meizhuang asked in confusion, but seeing that Zhen Huan had no intention of continuing, she just let it go and told her to take care of herself.

Zhen Huan agreed with a smile, then brought up something else and stopped talking about the previous topic.

Seeing that both of them were pregnant, Nian Shilan felt extremely sad and wondered if she would be able to get pregnant again in this life.

At this moment, Caiyue's voice came from outside the door: "Ladies and gentlemen, Concubine Jing wants to see you."

As soon as Nian Shilan heard this, she knew that Jingpin was probably looking for her, so she said to Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, "I still have something to say to Jingpin, so I'm leaving first."

Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan nodded and watched Nian Shilan leave the main hall.

Jingpin outside the door was also very nervous. After the emperor left, she had been wondering what Nian Shilan meant. She also heard from the palace maid that Nian Shilan went to Cunju Hall. After thinking it over again and again, she decided to pay her respects to Concubine Hua and find out her attitude.

While Jingpin was thinking, Nian Shilan came out from the main hall of Cunju Hall. Jingpin saw her and bowed quickly: "Your concubine greets Her Majesty Hua Fei."

Nian Shilan glanced at her, then looked at the palace maids around, and said, "I haven't seen Jingpin for a long time. I miss the days when I was in the same room with Jingpin. I want to go to Jingpin to ask for some tea. I think Jingpin will not refuse me."

When Jingpin heard what Nian Shilan said, she felt even more uneasy and said, "It is my honor that Your Majesty can come to my palace to drink tea. Please come in."

As soon as Jingpin finished speaking, she saw Nian Shilan swaggering towards her main hall, and Jingpin hurriedly followed.
