Nian Shilan laughed dryly, "But humans are not plants or trees, so how can we be heartless? Among the new palace maids who came in and were assigned to the Yikun Palace, there was a child who looked very much like you. When I saw her, I thought of you and came to ask you if she was a relative of yours. If so, I can arrange for her to serve in front of the emperor and stay close to you so that we can take care of each other."

Fang Ruo was a little surprised. After a pause, she asked, "I wonder what this child's name is...?"

Nian Shilan lowered her eyes, smiled faintly, picked up the cup in her hand, and pretended to think carefully.

Then he shrugged and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I can't remember it. Songzhi, what is the child's name?"

"My lady, her name is Mingyu."

"Mingyu, that's a nice name. Fangruo, is she your child?"

After taking a sip of tea, Nian Shilan raised her head and looked at Fang Ruo.

She looked very happy, and the haze in her eyes was slightly less.

"Yes, yes, Mingyu is my sister's little daughter. I didn't expect that this child would also enter the palace."

In fact, for someone like Fang Ruo, being a senior maid in the palace would already be a servant who is respected by the masters, and she would not lose any reward money and wealth.

Most of them had houses outside the palace for their parents to live in in their old age. If they had a good relationship with their sisters and brothers, they would help them to some extent.

Nian Shilan rewarded her with money and gifts, and Fang Ruo just paid more attention to her work.

But if Fang Ruoke does someone a favor, she will have to repay him with something more important.

"No wonder, her eyebrows, eyes and face shape are similar to yours. I guess the child also looks like her mother." Nian Shilan smiled.

Fang Ruo added, "Now that Mingyu is working in Yikun Palace, she must be clumsy. If she has offended the Majesty, please forgive me. I will teach her well when I see her another day."

"She is quite clever. You don't have to be too harsh on her. I am thinking that if she is willing to make progress, I will arrange for her to serve in front of the emperor so that she can keep you company."

Nian Shilan spoke in a considerate and gentle manner.

Fang Ruo waved her hands and said, "Your Majesty, I really cannot bear your favor. Mingyu has just entered the palace, and everything depends on her luck. If she is not good enough, even if she is sent to serve in front of the emperor and offends the emperor, she will lose her head."

Firstly, it was strange that Fangruo knew Mingyu had suddenly entered the palace but didn’t tell her.

Secondly, not everyone can serve in the Yikun Palace. Although Nian Shilan mentioned it to her seemingly casually today, she was actually giving her some advice on purpose.

It is obvious that Nian Shilan had ulterior motives in arranging Ming Yu in Yikun Palace.

But Fang Ruo didn’t understand why the imperial concubine was so close to her?

What else do you want her to do?

So she was nervous, fearing that what the imperial concubine wanted her to do would be a capital mistake.

He did not dare to accept the favor from the imperial concubine easily.

In this case, Nian Shilan smiled faintly, "That's true."

The two of them said nothing more, and the emperor stood up.

Nian Shilan arrived by herself and went in to serve personally.

The emperor has been feeling unwell these past few days, probably because there have been two funerals in the palace in succession. He was depressed, and coupled with the change of seasons, the autumn wind in the capital was penetrating into people's bones, and as a result, he felt a little cold.

"Is the Sixth Prince doing well at Concubine Jing's place?" Yinzhen stood up, and while still half conscious, he asked about the Sixth Prince's condition with his eyes closed.

Nian Shilan was wearing a button on her hand. "Your Majesty is concerned about the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince is naturally well. I went to see him a few days ago. Although Concubine Jing has not given birth, she is very good at raising children. The Sixth Prince has grown a lot, and he is strong and likes to move."

Upon hearing the news about the child, Yinzhen's expression softened and he couldn't help but laugh.

"I haven't seen the Sixth Prince for a long time, and I miss him very much. I have nothing to do this afternoon. After you finish reviewing the memorials, you can go with me to see him."

Nian Shilan raised her eyes and said, "Your Majesty went to the palace of Concubine Jing. What's the matter with me going there? Concubine Jing was looking forward to talking to Your Majesty about her son's heart, but I am sorry for disturbing her."

"You." Yinzhen opened his eyes, smiled and pinched her nose.

Nian Shilan accompanied him. While Yinzhen was reviewing memorials, she would grind ink and look at paintings on the side. She didn't like reading, and when she was really bored, she would just stare out the window in a daze. In short, she just did things that made no noise.

When the emperor felt tired, she stepped forward to help press the buttons and rub his eyes.

Occasionally he would say some witty words, which made Yinzhen laugh.

So Yinzhen actually liked having her around.

If other people saw this scene, they would definitely think it was a romantic couple and they were very happy.

But in fact, Nian Shilan just wanted Yinzhen to rely on her more and trust her more, so that it would be easier for her to take action in the future...

……

In the afternoon, Wen Shichu came to Suiyuxuan to take the patient's pulse.

Zhen Huan has been depressed recently. Apart from talking to her mother, she usually likes to be alone.

No one was allowed to serve him. Although the emperor came, he didn't stay long.

Every time the emperor came, Zhen Huan became even more unhappy. As time went on, even the emperor came less often.

Seeing Doctor Wen coming, Liu Zhu quickly invited him in, made some tea, then came out and sat in the corridor to take a nap.

Inside the hall, Wen Shichu noticed that Zhen Huan was not in a good mood and asked her the reason.

"Your Majesty is not looking well. She looks even paler than when I came to diagnose her pulse a few days ago. But is there anything wrong with your body?"

Zhen Huan shook her head, "My body is fine, but this mental illness is hard to cure."

Wen Shichu has now returned to serve the Queen Mother, and he has increased the frequency of taking Zhen Huan's pulse from once a day to once every three days.

So no one knows what exactly happened to Zhen Huan.

"Isn't it a good day now? Why is Your Majesty worried?"

Zhen Huan told him her worries.

There's really nothing to hide. It's better to tell the truth than to worry about it.

After hearing this, Wen Shichu's face was full of solemnity. "This, the Imperial Concubine is not of the same kind as us, but this is really too much to think about, it's even a little bit..."

Zhen Huan understood, "You don't believe it, but I understand. After all, most of it is just my own guess. But you must not tell Sister Mei about this."

"Why."

"Since the robbery of my parents has been pinned on the Guarjia clan, there can be no more mistakes. If Sister Mei knew about it, she would panic and might do something bad."

"But what will happen if we are discovered?" Wen Shichu asked.

Zhen Huan sighed, "This is where the imperial concubine is amazing. She has done so many things, but none of them can be traced back to her. You are the one who conceived the child in my belly, and the robbery was done by Sister Mei who contacted her father. If we are investigated, we will be exposed, but he can just push it off easily."
