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

Concubine Jing doesn't want to cause trouble.

But now that I have seen it today, I naturally cannot ignore it.

"The Queen has the final say on all matters in the harem, and the concubines are not allowed to use her power to punish them. I will tell the Queen about what happened today, and I will not get involved in the outcome. Now, everyone return to your palaces."

Concubine Jing said calmly.

She didn't want to get too involved and just wanted the matter to be resolved quickly.

At this time, Nian Shilan, who was hurrying over, was standing not far away.

Nian Shilan sat on the sedan chair, looking at the straight back of Concubine Jing in front of her, thinking about something in her heart.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jing is already in front. It looks like the matter has been resolved. Should we still go over there?"

Nian Shilan, who was sitting on the sedan chair, waved her hand slowly, "No need, this is not far from Jingren Palace, let's go sit in the Queen's Palace."

"Yes."

Songzhi ordered, "Jingren Palace."

The sedan chair slowly turned around and left.

Jingren Palace.

"I pay my respects to the Queen, may the Queen be blessed with good health and good health."

Nian Shilan saluted gracefully.

Looking at the unexpected guest who suddenly appeared in front of her, the queen still greeted him with a smile and spoke appropriately.

"Please get up, Concubine Hua. It's so hot today. Why did my sister come here?"

Nian Shilan curled her lips and smiled, "No matter how hot the weather is, I dare not forget to pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."

The Queen raised her eyebrows. "It's rare that you have such a thoughtful attitude. But I'm afraid that you'll be in such a hurry and may get hot. You'd better be more careful."

The Queen had nothing to say to her, but she was not going around in circles about the heat of the summer.

Just waiting for the other person to say something else.

"Yes, we have to be careful, but it's getting hot, and it doesn't matter where we hide. I'm still waiting for the emperor to take the sisters in the harem to the Old Summer Palace to escape the heat."

The queen smiled faintly, "The emperor has been busy with matters in the court recently, I'm afraid it will take some time."

After saying this, a young eunuch came in and delivered the message.

"Your Majesty, Noble Lady Qi requests to see you."

Nian Shilan picked up the teacup on the table, tasted the sweetness, and drank it slowly.

The queen raised her eyebrows and glanced at Nian Shilan who was drinking tea.

"Oh? Lady Qi is here too, please invite her in."

"Whoo."

The young eunuch quickly went down to pass the message.

Nian Shilan put down the cup and said, "The tea here, Her Majesty, is indeed excellent. I love it very much."

"If you like me, let Jianqiu pick some for you." The queen smiled.

Although he smiled on the surface, he felt very strange in his heart.

In the past, Nian Shilan rarely praised the things in her palace, and she would have been fine if she hadn't rushed to make sarcastic remarks, but what happened today?

Before he could finish his thought, Concubine Qi came in crying with tears all over her face.

She knelt on the ground and cried, "Empress, please make the decision for me."

The queen frowned and felt unwell.

"What's wrong with you, noble lady Qi? What has happened to make you look so embarrassed? Get up and talk."

Nian Shilan raised her voice a little, "Hey, what's wrong with Concubine Qi? You're crying like a cat."

Concubine Qi was only paying attention to the crying and did not notice that Concubine Hua was still in the palace.

Only then did the son see it.

"Empress Hua..."

She thought of the two consecutive days of standing in the corner a few days ago, and her shoulders unconsciously shrank back.

Naturally, Nian Shilan saw all her little movements.

She gave a subtle sneer and said nothing more.

"Lady Qi, why are you crying like this? What happened?"

"Empress, it would have been fine if Concubine Li had offended me and said something rude, but he even showed his courtesy. I only said a few words, but Concubine Li and a few servants framed me. I am truly wronged."

The queen frowned and leaned forward, "Impolite? Not impolite?"

After asking twice, it was all Li Changzai's fault.

Nian Shilan looked up at the queen, a hint of coldness flashing across her face.

"Yes."

Concubine Qi cried and recounted what had just happened with exaggeration.

"Is it really so?" the queen asked, her tone expressing neither joy nor anger.

Lady Qi: "Of course it is true. Please, Queen, please make the decision for me!"

The queen was about to speak when Nian Shilan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly laughed out loud.

The Queen was surprised, "Hua Fei, why are you laughing?"

Nian Shilan raised her eyebrows and covered her mouth with a piece of silk. "Please forgive me, Queen, but what Concubine Qi said was really funny. That's why I laughed."

"Oh? Tell me, how funny is it?"

Only then did Nian Shilan turn her attention to Concubine Qi.

"Lady Qi just said that Concubine Li was polite and did not greet me, but she didn't realize that she also forgot to greet the Queen and me when she came in. It's ridiculous that she doesn't know the etiquette and still wants to punish others."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Qi looked flustered and explained hastily.

"This...I forgot because I was in a hurry. If it were a normal day, I would never be so careless."

Nian Shilan raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Really? Then let's talk about the second point. Even if Concubine Li was at fault, Concubine Qi did not think of reporting to the Empress for punishment at the first time, but abused private punishment."

She stood up.

He looked down at Concubine Qi as if she were a ridiculous ant.

"You mean that now that the Queen and I are gone, you, Noble Lady Qi, are the one in charge of the harem?"

Lady Qi bit her lip, "I..."

Then she turned to the Queen and knelt down quickly, "Please forgive me, Queen. I was a little impatient, but there is a reason. Li Changzai has been disrespectful to me several times. This time, I really can't tolerate it anymore."

"Several times?" Nian Shilan asked again, "Then please tell us about those other times, Lady Qi."

She turned around and sat down, leaning back in her chair, with a cold look in her eyes and brows.

In a sharp tone, "Please tell me the time and place in detail, noble lady Qi, so that it will be convenient for the queen and me to question the people."

This sentence left Concubine Qi speechless.

The queen half-closed her eyes but couldn't get a word in.

The Queen spoke only after Nian Shilan stopped talking.

"Lady Qi, please answer in detail according to what Concubine Hua said."

At this time, Concubine Hua had already gained the upper hand, and what she asked was reasonable.

I can only say something impartial and in the middle.

But Concubine Qi was speechless. She stammered for a while and then stopped talking.

Nian Shilan sneered and spoke again.

"It seems that today, Lady Qi is the first to file a complaint."

After saying that, she said no more.

The queen in front of her bowed lightly and said, "Queen, I am tired, so I will return to the palace first. Today, noble lady Qi is just troubling the queen to take care of her."

The queen smiled and said, "Of course, you should go back first and take care of yourself."

"Yes, I'll take my leave then."

After saying this, he left the hall.

It took a long time before I got on the sedan chair and left Jingren Palace.

Songzhi saw that there was no one around, so she dared to ask.

"Your Majesty, you were about to convict Consort Qi, why did you come out instead?"

Nian Shilan chuckled, propped up her head and looked at the red glow in the distant sky.
