"If the Imperial Concubine hadn't reminded me today, I'm afraid that Concubine Qi would have been kept in the dark by the Queen from now on. The harem is full of twists and turns. If it weren't for the Imperial Concubine's protection, Sixth Prince wouldn't be here today."

Concubine Jing smiled and spoke while looking at Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan pursed her lips and said, "The Queen is in charge of the six palaces and is the mother of all people, but she can't keep herself single. She needs to win over Concubine Qi and An's consent. If I am the only one, how can I protect others?"

Concubine Jing lowered her eyes and understood what Nian Shilan meant.

Nian Shilan did not hide anything and continued to speak.

"Before Jiapin gave birth, she seemed to have anticipated that this birth might result in life or death, and hoped that I could raise the Sixth Prince. However, I am willing but unable to do so. However, I do not want to disappoint Jiapin, so I intend to adopt the Sixth Prince as my adopted son. What do you think?"

There was no reason for Concubine Jing to refuse this.

"Of course, I am overjoyed. It is a blessing for the Sixth Prince and for me to have a stepmother like the Imperial Concubine."

Nian Shilan nodded, "Those servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs say they work hard, but they also make mistakes. If Sixth Prince and you have any difficulties in life, or if there is anything missing, just tell me."

"Of course, I'll make a note of it."

"Then Concubine Jing will have to interact more with me from now on."

"Yes, I will go back and take care of everything first, and come to pick up Sixth Prince in a few days."

After saying this, Concubine Jing stood up and saluted, then looked at Nian Shilan and saluted again.

"No hurry," Nian Shilan smiled faintly, "Does Concubine Jing want to see the Sixth Prince first and get familiar with him?"

"That's good, of course."

Concubine Jing couldn't refuse, nor was it easy to refuse, so she agreed.

Nian Shilan immediately asked Songzhi to carry the Sixth Prince up. When Concubine Jing saw this little, soft person, her heart softened.

She held the Sixth Prince in her arms and could not dare to think that this would be her child in the future.

For so many years, she had hoped countless days and nights that she could have a child, but after waking up, she was disappointed.

……

Concubine Qi went to the Yangxin Palace to ask for an audience with the Emperor. After seeing the Emperor, she cried and complained about how much she respected and loved the Empress, but the Empress gave her such a harmful thing.

When Yinzhen found out about this, his face turned green with anger.

But there was nothing I could do for the time being, and I couldn't agree to anything that Concubine Qi asked.

I could only let her cry and comfort her occasionally.

"Okay, stop crying. Your face is all red and it doesn't look good anymore."

When Concubine Qi heard this, she quickly wiped her tears with a piece of silk, and then snorted, "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me. I am really scared."

How could she not be afraid?

This harem, if the queen were to harm her.

She really didn't know what to do. After all, even her entry into the palace was arranged by the Queen.

Yinzhen sighed, "Okay, after I finish these official duties, I will go talk to the Queen." Then he squeezed her hand again, "Look at how cold your hands are. You are wearing so little. It will be too cold to go back later. Go back early."

Concubine Qi could tell that this was an attempt to drive her away, but she still felt somewhat unwilling.

In her opinion, this matter was more serious than the fall of the sky.

But everyone seemed to be indifferent.

Concubine Qi does not have the IQ of Nian Shilan. She does not know how to retreat in order to advance, and she does not understand the emperor's thoughts.

She could only make a scene, "How can I go back now? I don't know if there is anything in my palace that is mixed with musk. I am so scared."

Yinzhen laughed dryly, "If I add anything to a precious spice like musk, my treasury would have been empty long ago. Okay, I promise you, I will go to see you tonight."

After hearing this, Concubine Qi stopped.

"Your Majesty, please keep your word and do not deceive me."

Only then did Concubine Qi pout her lips in satisfaction and mutter.

Yinzhen touched her little face and nodded silently.

Only then did Concubine Qi wipe her face with satisfaction, and then followed Su Peisheng out.

After everyone left, Yinzhen wiped his face helplessly and stood up from the chair in annoyance.

Su Peisheng, who had just sent Concubine Qi out, hurried back and saw that Yinzhen's face did not look good.

"Your Majesty, are you going out?"

Yinzhen raised his eyes and looked at him, "Su Peisheng, what do you think about this?"

"I dare not, but everything has not been investigated clearly yet. Perhaps it was not done by the Queen."

Su Peisheng naturally didn't dare to say it.

Yinzhen raised his lips and said, "I thought it was just some small jealousy in the harem, but I didn't expect it to reach this point. The queen is so confused."

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Fortunately, everything was discovered early, and fortunately, the Queen did not make any serious mistakes."

Su Peisheng said.

Yinzhen shook his head. "I didn't intend to intervene in the affairs of the harem, but now that it concerns the Queen, it's a little difficult to deal with. I didn't expect that these things mixed together would make Concubine Hua look more decent."

Su Peisheng nodded, and immediately understood what the emperor meant when he heard this.

"Yes, the emperor is right. The imperial concubine has become much more generous."

With these annoyed thoughts in his mind, Yinzhen continued to handle official business for a while.

Not long after, the Queen Mother suddenly ordered Zhuxi to come and convey the message.

Yinzhen was surprised, "Why is my aunt here?"

"Your Majesty, I see you. The Queen Mother said she was not feeling well today and missed you, so she wanted you to come over for a chat."

If the empress dowager had something to do, she would just call a eunuch to pass on the message.

This time Zhuxi came in person, which must be due to the importance of the matter.

In fact, there is no need to guess, Yinzhen knows it all, it is definitely related to the Queen.

He suddenly felt even more annoyed, but he could only nod, "Okay, I'll be there in a moment."
