When I opened my eyes, Zhen Huan knelt in front of me and had a miscarriage

Suddenly, it was Yanqing Palace.

Qi Yuebin's health has finally improved these days.

Since winter came, there was little charcoal fire and no quilts in the palace, which was really hard to endure.

Fortunately, this winter was different. Jixiang held the hot water bottle that he had heated up for Concubine Duan, and a smile appeared on his face.

She was keeping an eye on all the matters concerning the Empress, and she had not discovered anything unusual in all these days. In addition, Concubine Hua often came to visit her and occasionally brought her some tonic medicine.

However, Concubine Duan's attitude towards Concubine Hua was still indifferent, and she was just maintaining superficial courtesy.

But think about it, after so many years of confrontation, it's strange that they suddenly become friends.

"auspicious?"

Jixiang raised her head and saw that it was Songzhi calling her.

"Long live Empress Hua." Jixiang walked over holding the hot water bottle and bowed respectfully to Empress Hua.

"Get up and go in and tell the story." Hua Fei said softly.

She had nothing to do today, so she came to see Concubine Duan.

"Yes." Jixiang agreed and ran in immediately.

Soon they came out to greet Concubine Hua, "Empress Hua, our queen wants to see you."

Nian Shilan slowly walked into Yanqing Palace, and Qi Yuebin was already sitting on the warm couch with her hair neatly tied up.

"It's so cold outside and the roads are slippery in the snow. It's hard for you to come here." Qi Yuebin spoke first, showing some concern.

Yanqing Palace is a remote and sparsely populated place, and few people have ever come here. However, Nian Shilan has been coming here frequently recently.

At first, Qi Yuebin was just indifferent to her, but as time went by, he would say a few words.

Nian Shilan had Songzhi take off her fur coat, then she took the hot water bottle handed to her by the palace maid and sat on the couch.

"The snow is heavy, but it's not difficult to walk. It's okay. I haven't seen you for a few days, and I've been worried about your health. Has your illness recurred in the winter?" Nian Shilan said in a low voice.

Qi Yuebin smiled and shook his head, "My servant and the imperial physician have done their best, and he is much better now."

"That's good." Nian Shilan saw that her face had become much rosier, and thought that it was because the servants took good care of her.

He beckoned Songzhi over and said, "Everyone in Yanqing Palace will be rewarded one month's salary for their service to the master."

"Yes." Songzhi turned around and did it.

The maids in the room were delighted to hear this, and they immediately knelt down and thanked her in unison, "Thank you, Empress Hua, for the reward. We will serve Empress Duan with all our heart."

"Well. I know you guys are sensible. Go down and have a rest." Nian Shilan picked up the teacup and took a sip.

I tasted it and realized that it was probably last year's tea.

After thinking about it, it made sense. Now that Huang Guiquan was no longer in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she was neglected by the emperor, most of the things in the palace were moved directly from her.

Now I have to place an eye of my own in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It also makes it easier to do things in the future.

"Sister is very generous and magnanimous, which is beyond my reach." Qi Yuebin looked at her tenderly, "It's just that these are not what you should do..."

Nian Shilan put down the teacup and said, "From now on, my sister's affairs are my affairs. I don't care what you say."

"You have been coming to my palace every day these days. Have you ever thought about your own affairs?"

"My business?" Nian Shilan leaned lazily and casually on the couch, just watching the snowflakes flying outside the window and falling on the red wall.

She had never looked out the window so quietly before.

Her heart has always been in turmoil.

She always wondered whether the emperor would come. What if the emperor didn't like her anymore? Who did the emperor favor today?

I have never listened to my own heart.

"Wanpin has regained favor. Although you were involved in her miscarriage, it was not entirely your fault. Perhaps you... still have a chance." Qi Yuebin said lightly.

Nian Shilan was a little surprised. She withdrew her gaze from the window and looked at Qi Yuebin.

She hadn't thought she'd be saying this to herself.

This kind of concern and consideration for her.

She was lost in thought as she watched and spoke unconsciously.

"Sister Yue, how long has it been since we had a chat like this?"

Hearing this, Qi Yuebin slowly lowered his head and looked at the hot water bottle in his hand.

"It seems like five or six years."

Nian Shilan's eyes were filled with regret and remorse, and she shook her head, "For a plot, we ended up like this. You and I are daughters of generals, and both our character and courage are above ordinary women, but we never expected to end up like this. Do you think this is the fate of women?"

"Or is this our fate?"

Her eyes were empty and her red lips were murmuring, but her voice was getting smaller and smaller, and Qi Yuebin could no longer hear what she was mumbling.

"Shilan?"

Nian Shilan suddenly realized what was happening and found herself crying again without realizing it.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and returned to her previous elegant and lazy look.

"Forget it, it's all in the past. Sister, I have something important to do today, so I'll take my leave for now."

Nian Shilan called Songzhi, said goodbye to Qi Yuebin and left Yanqing Palace.

She did have something important to do today.

Recently, the incident of Prince Dun beating up a censor has caused a lot of controversy.

She remembered that in her previous life, Zhen Huan proposed to the Emperor to confer the title of Beizi on Prince Dun's son and the title of Princess on his daughter, and to bring them into the palace to be raised by the Empress Dowager.

He also persuaded Prince Dun's wife to persuade Prince Dun to apologize to the censor Zhang Lin.

This method can not only solve the problem of Prince Dun, but also detain Prince Dun's children in the palace, and use them as a threat if Prince Dun wants to rebel in the future.

After going through so much, she couldn't help but admire Zhen Huan's wisdom.

And today is the day when Prince Dun's wife comes to the palace and Zhen Huan tries to persuade them.

Counting the time, the two of them had finished talking, and Prince Dun's wife was about to leave the palace.

Nian Shilan deliberately waited for Prince Dun's wife on the road she had to take when leaving the palace.

Not long after, Fu Jin appeared.

"Long live the Empress Hua." When Fu Jin saw her, she naturally stepped forward and saluted.

Nian Shilan bowed in return, which surprised Fu Jin a little.

"It's not easy for Madam to come to the palace. It's still early. I wonder if you would be willing to accompany me and talk to my son." Nian Shilan spoke slowly.

"Of course. It's my honor to be able to talk with Your Majesty." Fu Jin was a smart person. She understood what she meant and immediately stepped forward to support Nian Shilan.

Songzhi dismissed the palace maids on her left and right and asked them to follow behind her, leaving them space to talk.

"I don't know, Your Majesty, what do you want to tell me?" Fu Jin asked.

Nian Shilan smiled softly and turned her eyes away, "You have enough troubles now. I don't have anything else to say to you. It's just that I saw that you still have a sad face, so I want to talk to you to relax."

"Your Majesty is indeed well-informed. I do have one thing that worries me. Now the Emperor has been so kind as to confer the title of Beizi on Hongxuan and to allow the princess to be brought up in the palace. Although it is a great favor, I miss my daughter so much that I am reluctant to let the princess go to the palace."

When Fu Jin talked about this, her sad expression turned into a trace of worry.

All of this was seen by Nian Shilan. "Now that it has been decided, you can rest assured. I will take good care of the princess. When I regain my favor, I will persuade the queen mother and find an excuse to let the princess return to you. But..."

She deliberately made a pretext.

Seeing this, Fu Jin naturally understood and immediately bowed, "Your Highness, please tell me what you want. Your Highness and I will definitely satisfy you. I just ask Your Highness to give me more advice."
