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

"Wait," Nian Shilan called her, "It's getting warmer outside. I also want to go to the Imperial Garden today. Let Concubine Cao and I meet in the Imperial Garden."

"Yes, ma'am."

In the Imperial Garden, spring has truly arrived, and the flowers are competing for beauty and splendor.

Nian Shilan picked a peony that was blooming very spectacularly and admired it. Concubine Cao, who came hurriedly behind her, immediately put on a smile and congratulated her.

"Congratulations to His Majesty and the Emperor on regaining harmony. It is truly a great joy." Concubine Cao congratulated.

Nian Shilan smiled faintly, "It's just serving the emperor in bed. Now my favor is not as good as that little girl Qin Nuo. It's not a big deal."

"The Emperor is naturally concerned about the fact that His Majesty has regained favor. As for Concubine Qin, she is just enjoying something new. No matter how much the Emperor loves a dish, he will get tired of it after eating it for a long time."

Seeing that she was unhappy, Concubine Cao tried to comfort her.

"You are good at talking. I asked you to come here today because I have something important to tell you."

Cao Qin was silent, "Oh? I wonder why the Queen asked me to come here?"

"There are always people outside the palace who want to honor me. You know, my position in the palace is precarious now. I am afraid that this favor will be short-lived and will not last long. If you can't help me when necessary, you are just a nobleman, which is meaningless."

Nian Shilan fiddled with the armor in his hand.

Cao Qin lowered her eyebrows and said, "I am incompetent and cannot help you, Your Majesty."

"It's not that you are incompetent, but your mother's family is incompetent. If your mother's family could have a say in the previous dynasty, and with Princess Wen Yi by your side, you will naturally not be ignored by the emperor anymore." Nian Shilan casually played with the bright red peony in his hand.

When Cao Qinmo heard this, she subconsciously looked around in fear. Seeing that no one was around, she lowered her voice and said, "My lady, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to bring up this matter here, isn't it?"

Nian Shilan looked up at her and sneered, "What is this? Who can hear it?"

"Yes." Seeing that she said so, Cao Qinmo thought that she must have arranged the people around, so she didn't say anything else.

Then he continued with what Nian Shilan had just said.

"But my family has fallen into poverty, and now only my brother is an official in the court. He is not good at socializing and only knows how to work hard. It is indeed difficult for him to get ahead."

"The court is in need of people now. I will suggest a way to make your brother have his own place in the court. Then you don't have to worry about Wen Yi's future. After all, he has a high-ranking stepmother, a mother who is a concubine, and a distinguished uncle. Who would dare to bully him?"

Nian Shilan put down the peony and stared at Cao Qinmo.

She wanted Cao Qinmo to express her opinion.

When Cao Qinmo heard her say 'adoptive mother of high rank', she was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed and said, "Madam, what do you mean...?"

"I am lonely and have liked Wen Yi for many years. I will adopt Wen Yi as my adopted daughter and will inform the Emperor and the Empress Dowager at this time. You can rest assured."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am truly grateful for your kindness."

Cao Qinmo was naturally willing. After all, Nian Gengyao's reputation in the previous dynasty was known throughout the country, and it was indeed a blessing for her brother to be able to marry into the Nian family.

"I will take care of the rest. You may leave now."

Cao Qinmo was delighted, "Yes, I will do my best."

After saying that, Cao Qinmo left.

Nian Shilan was still sitting idly when suddenly Songzhi beside her screamed.

"How dare you! Who is eavesdropping on the Queen's conversation?"

Nian Shilan looked in that direction and sure enough, a white figure flashed by.

As Songzhi instructed people to chase after them, she was stopped by Nian Shilan.

"No need to chase."

"But Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. If it were to be known to others..." Songzhi was really puzzled. If this were to be spread out and known to others, it would probably be a capital crime.

After all, the harem is not allowed to discuss politics.

Nian Shilan frowned, "Okay, if you don't need it, then you don't need it. I have my own plans."

Afterwards, he was supported by Songzhi and walked out of the Imperial Garden.

……

Qi Yuebin's health had indeed improved a lot, and the emperor also listened to Nian Shilan's advice and really went to Yanqing Palace.

If the emperor really went, I'm sure she would be happy.

Nian Shilan looked at Minghui outside the window, thinking secretly in her heart.

She cared as much about that man's every move and smile as she did before.

But she always felt that perhaps Qi Yuebin understood the "story" behind the bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine earlier than her.

Does she really still love the emperor?

Nian Shilan was not sure either, but in this deep palace, who else but her was not looking forward to the arrival of that man?

……

Shoukang Palace.

"The emperor doesn't look very well today, but is there something on his mind?" asked the empress dowager.

She looked at her son's worried face. He came to greet her in the morning and then remained silent.

It was obvious to the naked eye that his son was probably worried about something.

She asked Zhu Xi, who said that the emperor had stayed in the palaces of Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan for the past two days.

She also guessed a little.

"My son, I was not happy when I heard Concubine Hua talking about that child the other day. Yesterday, I saw Concubine Duan in great pain. When I recalled how they first entered the palace, I felt really depressed."

Yinzhen lowered his head, but the Qiankun Pearl that kept spinning in his hand revealed the sorrow in his heart.

The Queen Mother sighed, "It's all in the past. We've gotten through all these years. If they have complaints, the Emperor has done a good job over the years. We can just appease Concubine Duan later."

Yinzhen said, "But the problem is that they have no complaints. Concubine Hua thinks that the bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine was only done by some filthy servant."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. You are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. What's more, it was me who did this. If the Nian family is allowed to grow stronger, I am afraid that Concubine Hua will become like Concubine Shu in the past. Fortunately, she has no children now."

The two of them didn't speak again.

Yinzhen shook the Qiankun beads in his hand and said, "Forget it. I still have a few memorials to read. I will come to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager another day."

The Queen Mother stood up and saw him off. "Okay, by the way, I heard that the Emperor has a new concubine named Qin. Are you happy with her service?"

"It's very decent, but I'll just keep it by my side and throw it away soon. Your Majesty, don't worry."

The Queen Mother's eyebrows moved, as if she knew something, and she said, "Good, very good, it's good that the Emperor can have his own plans, but he must also take care of himself."

"Yes, I will retire."

……

"Have you prepared the medicinal food for the emperor?" Nian Shilan saw that the time was almost up.

Songzhi replied, "It's ready."

"Well, don't delay. I'll send it to the emperor this afternoon."

Songzhi smiled and said, "Your Highness, would you like to deliver it to the Emperor in person? If Your Highness goes in person, I'm sure the Emperor will be very happy."

Nian Shilan thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll deliver it myself."

When Nian Shilan brought the medicinal food to the imperial study.

When Su Peisheng saw her, he immediately bowed and trotted over, "Hey, why is Concubine Hua here?"

Nian Shilan has always been very kind to Su Peisheng. "I am here to deliver medicinal food to the emperor. Please go in and inform him, eunuch."

"Yes, I will go and tell Her Majesty right away. Just now, Concubine Wan just went in to serve the writing materials." Su Peisheng said with a smile.

Nian Shilan paused.
