Zhen Huan: My inner voice is heard, I will take Concubine Hua as the Queen Mother

Time passed in the palace, and soon the day for the family dinner arrived.

Nian Shilan sat in front of the dressing table, comparing the hairpins in her hand to her head one by one, while Lin Yuanruo just glanced at the jewels in the jewelry box.

I couldn't help but frown.

[You are so extravagant, no wonder Big Fat Orange can't tolerate you! My girl, can you be a little more low-key? As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. ]

The hairpin in Nian Shilan's hand couldn't help but pause.

Thinking about how the emperor was praising me just two days ago, if I really dressed so extravagantly now, I'm afraid I would displease the emperor again.

She hated to see the emperor unhappy the most.

She immediately put the gold hairpin back into the jewelry box.

Lin Yuanruo finally breathed a sigh of relief: [Who said my girl only has a love-brained mind? Aren’t there some with normal brains? ]

Normal brain?

Listen to what she is saying? Is it possible that I am so unbearable in her eyes?

Just as she was about to explode, Nian Shilan held it back.

If I were to have an attack now for no reason, I'm afraid Lin Yuanruo would become suspicious of me.

No.

He tried hard to force a smile on his face, looked at Lin Yuanruo, and then glanced at Song Zhi.

Songzhi thought that Nian Shilan was beginning to dislike Lin Yuanruo.

He immediately used his elbow to push Lin Yuanruo aside.

"My lady, why don't we just wear this one?"

Song Zhi picked up the extremely luxurious golden hairpin in her hand again, and Lin Yuanruo's heart, which had been hanging in the air, was finally at ease.

It was just put down with great difficulty, and was picked up again by Songzhi.

[Can the combined brains of two people be better than that of the queen alone? ]

The way he looked at Songzhi began to change.

Nian Shilan coughed, snatched the golden hairpin from Songzhi's hand, and slowly put it back into the box: "No need, today is a family dinner."

"Of course it is! Our emperor has just ascended the throne, the treasury is empty, and the harem is all living frugally. If our queen is too extravagant, I'm afraid she will be criticized by those princes and nobles."

Lin Yuanruo took advantage of Nian Shilan's words and immediately moved over.

She was really worried that Songzhi would do something weird again.

Isn't this just treating Nian Shilan's life as nothing?

At the table.

The emperor looked at everyone present, and Lin Yuanruo clearly saw that she was looking for someone.

There was no sign of him, so he could only bow his head and say something to the Emperor.

You don't have to guess to know that this is asking about Zhen Huan's situation.

[I thought he loved my girl. This big fat orange guy should be loved by everyone, right? Big pig's hoof, bah! ]

Looking around, the entire family dinner was arranged very well.

Not only were all the ladies in the harem included, but even the princes and nobles were no exception.

Lin Yuanruo sighed: [This kind of occasion is usually a good day for new people to come to the fore and old people to regain favor. Big Fat Orange looks like a rat, he must be looking for Zhen Huan, right? What a pity. ]

Except for Concubine Duan and Zhen Huan who were bedridden, basically all the concubines who could come were present at the banquet.

Nian Shilan glanced at the emperor out of the corner of her eye.

It was just as Lin Yuanruo said, his eyes were always looking around, he must be looking for something.

Drink the contents of your cup in one gulp.

"Today is a family dinner, everyone please don't be restrained."

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, Prince Guo took over the conversation with a smile: "My brother always says that there is no need to be restrained, but I feel that not replying is the most restrained."

After hearing this, the emperor also burst into laughter.

"You, Old Seventeen, are most afraid of being restrained."

"It's already a great achievement that I didn't skip the party and wasn't late today."

"Haha, my brother is joking." Prince Guo stood up and raised his glass: "I wish my brother peace and prosperity, and the Qing Dynasty will be prosperous."

Everyone stood up at once.

Lin Yuanruo raised his head and glanced at the man sitting opposite him.

He is indeed a man of noble bearing and good looks.

[As expected of the man that Zhen Huan likes, he is really scheming. On the surface, he is unrestrained and uninhibited, isn't he just trying to make Big Fat Orange not suspect him? ]

After listening to Lin Yuanruo's words so many times, Nian Shilan is no longer so shocked.

Instead, he began to look at Prince Guo.

Among the many sons of the late emperor, Prince Guo is the most talented.

When the previous emperor was in power, his favorite son was this one.

He did everything himself, and taught all the rituals, music and etiquette himself. Now he has so many taboos just because he doesn't want the emperor to continue to suspect him.

The emperor walked slowly in front of Nian Shilan and said, "Good news came from the northwest this afternoon. What a great Nian Gengyao, what a great General Nian."

Nian Shilan immediately smiled happily.

Today is a family dinner. I didn't expect the emperor to say such words in front of so many people. It seems that my brother still has some status in the emperor's heart.

People couldn't help but float up.

That smug little look in his eyes and his eyebrows were about to fly up.

[My girl, you must stay calm! This is the art of being a king. Nian Gengyao worked so hard to get such a big order, so it is reasonable for Big Fat Orange to give him some verbal praise.]

But Nian Shilan was unable to listen.

She immediately stood up and said, "Then I congratulate His Majesty. May His Majesty be well and at peace."

The emperor couldn't hide his smile, which was almost wrinkled: "Your brother is fine, very good!"

"My brother served the emperor in the former court, and I serve the emperor wholeheartedly in the harem. That's natural."

After hearing these words, Lin Yuanruo became worried.

Why do you say anything without any hesitation? Don't you have any taboos?

[Let's get to the point! My girl, don't let your love-sickness get to you again. ]

Nian Shilan then remembered that Shen Meizhuang and the others had prepared the program early and were waiting for them.

This time, there were no red plum blossoms placed at the family dinner, and naturally there was no such saying as "If you understand my feelings when facing adversity, don't destroy it easily."

Nian Shilan stood up slowly and said, "Your Majesty, I am a rude and untalented concubine. I am afraid I cannot entertain Your Majesty."

"But Concubine Shen and Concubine An in my palace are both multi-talented. They have worked very hard for the family banquet these days, just to make the emperor smile."

Then he turned his head and said, "Come up."

I watched as the palace servants carried the zither up as quickly as possible.

Shen Meizhuang was wearing a purple suit, which made her look dignified and elegant.

On the contrary, An Lingrong next to her was wearing a goose yellow casual dress.

It looks fresh and refined, with a unique flavor.

At first, the emperor did not care and just drank and chatted with the princes and nobles.

Until An Lingrong began to sing: "I urge you not to cherish your golden dress, I urge you to cherish your youth. When flowers are in bloom, you should pick them immediately. Don't wait until there are no flowers left to pluck empty branches. Don't wait until there are no flowers left to pluck empty branches..."

The emperor stopped moving his hands for a moment.

Even the Queen came over and said, "Congratulations to the Emperor on finding another beautiful woman."
