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

Prince Dun has always been on good terms with the Nian family, so Fu Jin would definitely take Nian Shilan's words to heart.

Nian Shilan smiled calmly and helped her up slowly, "Get up, it's so cold, don't freeze to death, Fu Jin."

"You have seen the current situation in the palace. There is little I can do to help you. But if there was someone who understood the emperor's feelings, Fu Jin would not have reached this dilemma today."

When Fu Jin heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She had heard of Concubine Hua's jealous nature, so why was she taking the initiative to signal her to put someone close to the Emperor?

"Your Majesty is noble, and it is somewhat difficult for him to apologize to his subjects, but he has to bow his head given the current situation. However..." Nian Shilan raised her hand and slowly helped her brush away the snow foam on her fur coat.

Then he said, "The Nian family will always stand behind the prince. If the prince is unhappy, the Nian family will also be unhappy."

At this point, Fu Jin's eyes widened.

"Your Majesty..." As she said this, she was about to kneel down again.

Nian Shilan held her back and said, "Alright, you keep bowing. Not to mention that the concubine is not feeling well, if someone saw this, they would think that I was talking to the concubine about something serious."

What this means is that this matter is known to heaven, earth, you, and me, and there is a third pair of eyes watching us.

Don't expose yourself.

Fu Jin tightened her wrists. She knew her prince's thoughts best.

Prince Dun wants to rebel, and especially wants to drag the Nian family into the rebellion!

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. I understand." She just nodded.

Nian Shilan smiled and nodded, "It's good that Fu Jin understands."

She looked away and looked at the red walls covered in white snow in the distance.

"This winter is really long."

Seeing that she seemed disappointed, Fu Jin immediately said, "As long as we survive this harsh winter, the days will get warmer. It's cold in the deep winter, so please take care of yourself, Your Majesty."

"Thank you for your reminder, Madam. I will give you another piece of advice. You should have less contact with the palace from now on. People's hearts are unpredictable. Please don't let your kindness be betrayed."

Her words were meaningful, and Fu Jin frowned slightly, not quite understanding what she said.

Nian Shilan added, "If the prince wants to do something big, he still has to be careful and stay low-key. The Nian family and the prince should have less overt dealings, which is good for everyone."

"I understand."

"Well, it's getting late now, Fu Jin, please leave the palace quickly. If you are any later, I'm afraid the palace gates will be locked. I won't see you off."

"Farewell, Empress Hua." Fu Jin bowed and saw her off with great ceremony.

After parting, Fu Jin got on the carriage to leave the palace.

Nian Shilan’s words just now were still repeating in her ears. The amount of information was too much and it would take her a while to digest it.

It is said that Concubine Hua is domineering and eccentric, but from the conversation just now, it can be seen that she is quite scheming.

But why was it never revealed before?

But these were not what she should think about right now. When Concubine Hua said "kindness was betrayed", she couldn't help but think of the lady in Shui Yuxuan.

She had visited the empress with gifts when she was frustrated in the past, but now the princess had to be sent to the palace.

Given the current favor of Concubine Wan, she may be able to say a few words to the Emperor.

Even the disfavored Concubine Hua was willing to help her, which shows who is sincere.

……

"Your Majesty is so kind that you came to see off Prince Dun's wife in such a heavy snow. I'm sure she will remember this kindness forever."

Songzhi supported Nian Shilan and walked slowly.

Nian Shilan exhaled a puff of mist, said nothing, and walked with alternating deep and shallow steps.

It was already dinner time when we returned to the palace, after walking for such a long time.

My legs and feet were sore, so I changed into freshly baked shoes and socks, then sat comfortably on the couch and enjoyed my favorite crab roe pastry.

The emperor doesn't come these days.

There was nothing to do in the palace, so Nian Shilan asked the small kitchen to prepare several dishes in succession.

Occasionally, these servants would be rewarded with the opportunity to rest instead of working.

After all, no one likes to move in winter.

After dinner, Nian Shilan leaned back on the couch and closed her eyes to rest for a while.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the palace, and one could only hear people talking hurriedly, the noise was annoying.

Nian Shilan frowned and called out Songzhi.

Songzhi immediately scolded him, "Why are you so flustered? Can't you see that the queen is resting?"

"It's my fault, Your Majesty, the Emperor, the Emperor is here." Zhou Ninghai raised his head excitedly.

what?

Nian Shilan suddenly opened her eyes, but in those clear and bright eyes, there was not a trace of surprise, but only astonishment and helplessness.

Except for the questioning and apology in Sui Yuxuan last time.

This was the first time she met him after her rebirth!

Or rather, sleeping with the emperor!

Why are you here now?

It wasn’t this time in the previous life.

Nian Shilan was suspicious in her heart, but she still attended to all the necessary attire and etiquette.

When the majestic and noble yellow figure walked in, Nian Shilan had already bowed politely.

"May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

Yinzhen had not been here for a long time. He just stood there, looking at the woman who was respectfully bowing to him in the dim candlelight.

Nian Shilan has lost weight and her figure has become increasingly slender.

"Get up."

Yinzhen took her hand and helped her up.

The beauty stood up gracefully, her beautiful face showing a hint of sadness.

I say I am sad, but I don’t know if it is due to missing you. Now I am confused and don’t know whether it is a dream or an illusion.

In short, Yinzhen was deeply moved when he saw it.

He didn't know that his beloved concubine had already died once, and the surviving Nian Shilan had no place for him in her heart.

And that tender and affectionate look was just a forced act she put on while suppressing her nausea.

"Why is the emperor here today?" Nian Shilan looked up again, her phoenix eyes filled with tears, extremely charming.

"Why? I can't come today?" Yinzhen leaned close to her ear and tenderly held her black hair by her ear.

Nian Shilan lowered her head slightly, "I didn't expect the emperor was willing to see me. I thought..."

She deliberately didn't continue speaking, with a hint of sadness in the corners of her eyes.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has cultivated several pots of top-quality peonies, which add some interest to the winter. I think you have nothing to do in this cold winter, so I asked someone to send some to your Yikun Palace to add some interest."

When Nian Shilan heard this, her long eyelashes fluttered and her clear eyes lit up.

"In that case, I thank the emperor. It is my blessing that the emperor still thinks of me even though he is busy with state affairs."

I don’t know if it was Yinzhen’s illusion, or maybe it was because he hadn’t seen Nian Shilan for a long time, but he felt that the woman in front of him was not the same as before, but she was more charming than before.

Things can teach people, but they can also make people suffer. Concubine Hua has really changed.

Yinzhen knocked on the snacks on the low table, and Su Peisheng beside him immediately handed him a pair of blue-white jade chopsticks.

He picked it up and tasted it. "Your cooking skills in the small kitchen are impeccable. I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you a little bit."

"If Your Majesty likes it, I will ask them to make it and send it to you every day." Nian Shilan smiled and sat aside to serve.

"Forget it. The ground is slippery in winter. I can't bear to see you running around and getting tired."

Yinzhen stayed and while he was talking to his son, it was already dark.

"Your Majesty, are you going to stay in Yikun Palace today?" Zhou Ninghai stood outside and asked Su Peisheng in a flattering manner.

Su Peisheng nodded, "Of course, the emperor didn't turn over the cards today."

Zhou Ninghai sighed, "Our queen's good day is finally coming."
