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

Nian Shilan took a half step back, bowed, and half-knelt on the ground.

It can be seen that she is particularly serious.

"I ask Your Majesty that when you think about the Third Prince, you can also devote some of your attention to the Fourth Prince. I don't ask for too much, just a little."

Yinzhen took a deep breath, and the expression in his eyes faded a little. He just looked at Nian Shilan like this without saying a word.

Yesterday, Nian Shilan took great pains to invite him here, and as soon as he arrived, he saw the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince playing around.

Whether she did it on purpose remains to be verified.

It's not that he is deliberately suspicious, but he has to be suspicious because Nian Shilan holds the prince in his hands.

He suspected that she was plotting to harm the Third Prince and openly support the Fourth Prince.

No matter what the current situation of the Nian family is like, Yinzhen is actually very clear in his heart.

The Fourth Prince is not good enough, and the Fourth Prince plus the Nian family is even worse.

Yinzhen was slow to speak, and even Songzhi beside him became a little flustered.

But Nian Shilan was not panicked at all. Instead, she looked relaxed, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Your Majesty?" Nian Shilan called softly.

Yinzhen raised his eyes, "Yes, I will."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I didn't want to say much, but it's rare that the Fourth Prince is so strong. I don't know how to get along with him, let alone be a good mother. It's true that I have been with the Fourth Prince for a long time and have some feelings for him, so I said this boldly. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty, just think of it as understanding for the heart of a foster mother."

Nian Shilan spoke slowly and steadily, every word coming from her was sincere.

Yinzhen was thinking about something, and finally took a step forward and helped Nian Shilan up.

"Of course I understand you. You have done a great job as a foster mother. Well, it's getting late. I should go to court."

Nian Shilan's eyes flashed with a smile, "Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off."

Seeing that the bright yellow figure had completely disappeared, Songzhi hurried forward to support her own queen.

"My lady, I noticed that the emperor looked unhappy just now. Did you just say something about the Fourth Prince that made the emperor unhappy?"

Nian Shilan chuckled, "Don't worry, everything is normal, just live your life as usual."

The Holy Heart is hard to predict. Who can please Him all the time?

If you have no faults, you would be even more afraid of being suspected and plotted against!

As things stand now, the Queen is on the verge of collapse, the Queen Mother is frail and sick, and Zhen Huan is truly dead.

The most proud person now is Nian Shilan.

It is impossible for the emperor not to be suspicious.

The only way for her to protect herself is to make a mistake and reveal her true identity at this time.

Although Songzhi didn't understand, since the queen said so, there was no reason for her to think that the master doesn't worry and the servant does.

Thinking of something, he said, "Your Majesty, Fudong has already done what you asked him to do. He has selected several good ladies from the capital and a girl from the south of the Yangtze River. Their portraits have now arrived at the Yikun Palace. Would you like to see them, Your Majesty?"

Nian Shilan was a little surprised and raised her eyebrows, "Oh? It's really fast, but were they all selected according to my instructions?"

"Of course, Your Majesty, why don't you take a look first?" Songzhi smiled.

Nian Shilan nodded, sat on the couch, picked up a pastry ball with a skewer, put it in her mouth, and chewed it carefully.

Soon, Songzhi and Fudong walked in respectively.

Each of them held three or four scrolls of portraits in their hands.

Nian Shilan did not allow others to know about this matter, so Fudong and Songzhi did it personally.

Nian Shilan raised her eyes and gestured, and the two of them immediately began to unfold the scrolls in their hands.

The portrait shows two beautiful ladies, one of them has a very similar brow to Zhen Huan.

No, we shouldn't say she looks like Zhen Huan.

Rather, it should be said that she looks like Chunyuan.

Although it is just a portrait, one can still see that the beauty's eyes are bright and charming, like spring water and autumn waves, and her eyebrows and smiles are as cool as red plums in the snow. What a graceful and charming woman, with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

The second one is more fresh and free, with a girl sitting under a peach tree, her eyes full of joy, her eyebrows curved, and her pupils bright as crescents. She is not the kind of beauty that makes people breathtaking, but she is also attractive enough to make people unable to look away.

It was a good start and Nian Shilan was very satisfied.

"Yes, tell me, who is this daughter of?"

"One is the daughter of a merchant, her name is Nan Xu, she grew up in Jiangnan, she is seventeen years old."

"The one on the left is the daughter of the governor of Beijing. Her name is Yan Ruofan and she is eighteen years old."

Both of them are excellent candidates, and Nian Shilan is very satisfied.

Then I looked at a few more, but they were also mediocre.

Or maybe it’s because the first two are too stunning, making the beauties behind them seem less noticeable.

After looking around, Nian Shilan was satisfied with the previous two.

If I were to mention one more, she would be a talented woman named Yu Shu. She was not stunning in appearance, with delicate features and a very small frame. However, her figure was very good, with well-proportioned curves and a slender waist that was so thin that it was hard to hold in one hand, which made people fantasize.

She had a small mole on the tip of her nose, which made Nian Shilan remember her after only one glance.

The most important thing is the talent of this woman.

Other people’s scrolls were painted by painters and then presented directly to the Yikun Palace.

Only her paintings were placed aside, along with her poems.

"After a long journey, I look even more pale. I smile. When I smile, I still carry the fragrance of Lingmei."

Nian Shilan seldom reviewed poetry and books, but it was really a coincidence that she just happened to know this poem.

It is a poem by Su Shi.

Seeing Nian Shilan fall into deep thought, Songzhi and Fudong looked at each other.

Neither of them knew what the queen was thinking.

After a long while, Nian Shilan suddenly spoke up, "Leave Nan Xu, Yan Ruofan, and Yu Shu's portraits behind. As for the rest, reward the painters and the young ladies with some silver and send them away."

"Yes." Songzhi bowed, and she and Fudong put away the portrait and prepared to go down.

But Nian Shilan stopped him, "Wait."

"Does your Majesty have any other instructions?"

Nian Shilan poured out a pile of gold ingots from the brocade bag beside her and gave them to Fudong and Songzhi respectively.

"Your Majesty, this is..." Songzhi was still puzzled.

Fu Dong knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not accept you, but I did not serve you well, so you want to send me away. I will do my best in the future and will never make mistakes. Please don't send me away."

Nian Shilan chuckled, "When did I say I was going to drive you away?"

Fu Dong wiped away her tears, looking somewhat at a loss, "What is the Majesty doing?"

Songzhi reacted and chuckled, "Silly girl, this is a reward from our queen. Thank you, queen."

"Really?" Fu Dong's eyelashes were still dripping with tears. She immediately kowtowed after realizing what was happening. "Thank you very much, Your Majesty. But Your Majesty, I really don't dare to accept this reward."

Nian Shilan usually gave a lot of rewards to his servants and was extremely generous.

She was also a thrifty person. She didn't need to take care of anything in the palace, and the money she saved was enough to buy a house outside the city.

This time it was a reward of gold ingots, I really didn't dare to accept it.

"Take it. You should be generous when you are working for me. I have spent a lot of your money on running the business. This is just my pocket money."

Nian Shilan said this with a smile and continued eating pastries.
