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

Yikun Palace.

As soon as Nian Shilan returned to the palace, she was busy taking a bath and changing clothes. Along the way, she felt as if the sun was following her and it was so hot that it was smoking.

When everything was ready, she came out of the bath, wearing only a single piece of clothing, covered with a green shirt.

As she leaned on the couch and ate some fruit, Xichun brought in the palace maids and placed some ice beside her to cool her down.

Nian Shilan propped up her head, looked at her, and asked casually, "Has Madam Li arrived?"

"Your Majesty, we have arrived now and are talking to Concubine Li in her bedroom."

Songzhi replied.

Nian Shilan nodded, "Well, that's fine. I usually keep her in the palace and don't let her go out. Few people come to visit her. If there is a relative around to talk to her, it can ease her mood."

Songzhi nodded, "Your Majesty is right. According to your instructions, we will only let Madam Li move around in Yikun Palace and not let her go out. I believe nothing will happen."

"That's not necessarily true. We still have to be careful about everything. If there is any disturbance, let Mo Hua inform me immediately."

Nian Shilan would never relax until Concubine Li gave birth to her baby.

At this time, Fu Dong stepped forward in small steps, "My queen, the fourth prince is here."

"Why is the Fourth Prince here at this time?" Nian Shilan was surprised and put the watermelon into her mouth. "This watermelon is sweet. Bring me some more."

Xichun bowed and said, "Yes."

Then Nian Shilan said, "Send some to Lady Li as well."

"Yes."

The Fourth Prince entered the hall and respectfully bowed to Nian Shilan and paid his respects.

"My son, please pay my respects to your mother."

Nian Shilan raised her hand and said, "Get up, sit next to mother, and eat some fruit."

The Fourth Prince looked up and said, "Yes."

"It's hot today, why are you here?"

The Fourth Prince said, "Today is Mother's enthronement ceremony, and I should have come to congratulate her. And I got something new today, and I wanted to present it to her to show my filial piety."

Nian Shilan curled her lips, "Oh? Let me see what it is."

The Fourth Prince took out a precious hairpin from his sleeve.

One end of the hairpin was hung with a tassel made of small green beads, and on top was inlaid light green amber the size of a finger, and decorated with small jewels around it.

The style of the hairpin is old, but the highlight is the amber.

The amber looks new, complete and fresh in color, and is a rare and valuable item.

Nian Shilan took it in her hand and played with it, shaking the tassels on it, with the corners of her mouth naturally raised.

"Does my mother still like it?"

"Where did you get this hairpin?" Nian Shilan lowered her head slightly, her eyes moved from the hairpin to the face of the person opposite her, and she asked softly.

The Fourth Prince scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, "Son, I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make it quickly, but the amber was a casual reward from the Emperor Father a few years ago."

Nian Shilan lowered her eyes and looked at the hairpin.

He added, "A few days ago, I saw my mother giving her hairpin to sister Wen Yi in the Imperial Garden, so I thought of giving her one as a present. Fortunately, I managed to make it in time for her canonization ceremony."

These words moved Nian Shilan a little. This kid is thoughtful.

After she finished washing up, she just asked Songzhi to quickly comb her hair into a normal bun.

There was no big decoration on her head. She just casually put on a hairpin, with green tassels hanging down, which complemented her green shirt.

Song Zhi smiled and praised, "The queen is indeed stunning, and the fourth prince has good taste. This hairpin looks fresh and especially bright in this hot day."

The Fourth Prince smiled shyly, a slight blush appearing on his fair face.

Nian Shilan's lips curled up without a trace. She smiled, "How can you know about the hairpin at such a young age? Someone must have told you. Who did you ask?"

"Hehe, mother saw through her son right away. She pestered the maids who usually help the ladies with their makeup for a long time and they said it would be nice to make one like this with amber, so she ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do it."

Nian Shilan lowered her eyes and said, "You are so thoughtful. Try these watermelons. Your uncle sent them here as fast as he could. There are also some fragrant pears. I asked someone to send them to your study. Eat some when you are tired of reading."

"Yes, thank you, mother, and uncle. I think I have never met my uncle before."

"He is guarding the border, far away in the northwest. We will meet if we have a chance. He knows that I adopted you, so this time I also included your share. Just eat with peace of mind. If you are not satisfied, I have more here. Just ask the maid to come and get it."

As Nian Shilan gave instructions, her earnest and virtuous manner made her look more and more like a mother.

She had already told her brother about her adoption of the Fourth Prince, and her brother did not mind because the Fourth Prince's biological mother, Li Jingui, was just a maid in the palace.

Instead, he left a line of words——

"If this boy can bring Shilan some joy in the palace and relieve your boredom, I will remember him as my nephew."

In this way, Nian Shilan was very satisfied.

-

Go to the study.

The weather outside was hot, and the atmosphere in the hall was just as dead silent.

Guwalgiya Emin was summoned by the emperor and was currently discussing matters with Yinzhen in the Shangshufang.

The emperor looked very unhappy and his ministers lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"Longkodo was rampant, and his servant Niu Lun dared to rely on the power of the Tonggiya clan to extort money. He was simply seeking his own death."

Yinzhen's face was gloomy and he was playing with the chain in his hand.

Guaerjia Emin cupped his hands, "I think that Longkodo is really arrogant now. Just the fact that he secretly kept the jade disc is enough to destroy his entire family. Now the emperor has spared his life and only imprisoned him. In my opinion, Longkodo's death is not a pity, and we should have taken action earlier."

Yinzhen lowered his eyes, as if in deep thought.

Seeing this, Guarjia Emin took the opportunity to speak up.

"There are now countless people in the court who are attacking Longkodo. In the past, many officials also clung to the prestige of the Tonggiya clan and relied on Longkodo's power. Although there is no way to verify it now, I still know many poems and essays praising Longkodo, which seem to be still circulating among officials."

"Oh?" Yinzhen frowned, "Praising Longkodo's poems?"

Guarjia Emin cupped his hands, "Yes, many famous scholars, relying on their talents, can attract followers and recognition with just a few words, even if many ignorant people are deceived. I think it is better to cut the grass and root it out. If we indulge in the rampant growth of bad energy, it will be a disaster."

Yinzhen pursed his lips as if he had thought of something and expressed his approval.

"There is such an unhealthy trend in the court. If this is the case, you should investigate it carefully for me. We must put an end to this trend."

Guarjia Emin bowed and said, "Yes, I will do my best. However, if the news spreads too loudly, it will be hard to eradicate the evil and get rid of the disaster. It is better for me to be careful."

Yinzhen nodded, "Just do as you wish."
