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

Nian Shilan understood that the Queen was not taking any action because she wanted to see how she would act.

She twisted the booklet and said, "I do remember that Yu Shu is a talented woman."

"Yes, the queen said at the time that the poems in her album were excellent."

"She is a talented woman, and I think she and Concubine Wan will be able to get along well."

Songzhi looked up and asked, "Your Majesty, do you mean to arrange it in Suiyuxuan?"

Nian Shilan nodded at first, but then thought about it and paused, "Forget it, Concubine Wan has always been weak, so let's arrange for her to stay in Xianfu Palace."

"Yes." Songzhi nodded. "Then the other two ladies..."

"This Nan Xu, I remember who is the one who looks very much like... Concubine Wan, right?"

"Your Majesty has a good memory. This is exactly him."

Nian Shilan had a smile on her lips. An idea came to her mind. She said softly, "Then arrange for her to go to Concubine Wan's palace."

"Yes." Song Zhi smiled, "Then the last one left... Your Majesty, this is the daughter of the governor of the capital, the only daughter of the governor of the capital."

Even Songzhi knew that if she could win over someone of such status and position, it would definitely be beneficial.

She hoped that it would be good if the queen could arrange this person to stay in Yikun Palace.

But Nian Shilan didn't think so.

"The governor of the capital?" Nian Shilan whispered, "If I remember correctly, she served the Queen Mother in the palace for a period of time when she was a child?"

"There is such a thing."

Concubine Duan also served the Empress Dowager.

But speaking of Concubine Duan, she thought of something else, "Changchun Palace... has been empty since Concubine Qi passed away."

"Yes."

"Yanqing Palace is desolate and remote. Although Concubine Duan is recuperating from her illness, it is not convenient for the imperial doctors and concubines to visit her often. When spring comes and Yan Ruofan enters the palace, we will move to Changchun Palace together."

"Your Majesty is kindhearted." Songzhi nodded. Then she thought, "But, what about this... young lady of the Tonggiya clan?"

Nian Shilan wrote three words neatly and coldly, "Yikun Palace."

"This..." Songzhi was puzzled, muttering to herself that if this young lady from the Tonggiya clan was arranged by the Queen, wouldn't that be inviting a thief into the house?

But seeing the determined look of the Empress, he could only bow his head and said, "Yes!"

……

If you have hope in life, the days will pass much faster.

The cold wind blew gently, rolling up the fine snowflakes, covering the red bricks and green tiles and the palace walls with white snow.

It's like thousands of pear trees in bloom.

As early spring slowly arrives, the ice and snow melt, and the icicles under the eaves melt, making a dripping sound.

It seemed as if it was quietly preparing for the newcomers' appearance.

"What's that noise?"

When she woke up in the morning, Nian Shilan was combing her hair.

It was not as cold as before, so the morning and evening visits to the Queen had to be resumed as usual. Nian Shilan woke up early and felt sleepy. She let Songzhi and Fudong dress her up, and listened to the Fourth Prince come to pay his respects and recite his lessons.

I was originally sleepy, and now I am even sleepier.

His head was shaking and he almost fell asleep to the sound of Fourth Prince reciting his lessons aloud, but suddenly he heard tinkling sounds from outside the corridor.

Hearing Nian Shilan's dissatisfied voice, the Fourth Prince quickly stopped reading. He stood up and looked outside.

"Mother, it seems like she is moving things into the side hall."

Nian Shilan frowned, very dissatisfied with being disturbed, and said angrily, "What are you moving so early in the morning?"

Fu Dong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, a new young lady is coming to the palace. I heard that the Queen gave each young lady many rewards, so she asked the servants to deliver them to each palace."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't the new bride going to enter the palace in three days?"

Nian Shilan raised her eyebrows and looked at the group of servants moving things outside the window in a daze.

"Perhaps he feels that it is a bit hasty to arrange it three days later, so... I will go out now and tell them to move later." Fu Dong said.

"Forget it, hurry up and get dressed."

Nian Shilan continued to close her eyes, frowning slightly, feeling upset.

The Fourth Prince looked at her like this, his eyes thoughtful. He put down the book, stood up and walked outside, took a bundle from the servant, and walked in again.

"Eniang."

When Nian Shilan opened her eyes, she saw the Fourth Prince standing in front of her, holding a bundle in both hands and presenting it to her.

"What's the matter?" Nian Shilan became a little more awake, her sleepiness disappeared, and she began to look at the Fourth Prince carefully.

Only then did she remember that the Fourth Prince seemed to have grown a lot taller this winter. He was not short to begin with, but now he had grown like bamboo shoots after rain and became a tall man, a head taller than her.

His eyebrows and eyes grew more mature, and his voice became deeper.

Is it time to help him find a beautiful lady in Beijing? Nian Shilan thought so.

"Recently, I noticed that mother's eyes are dark blue. I think it's because she didn't sleep well. This is the pillow core that I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to customize. I added herbs to it. Doctor Xie said it can help you sleep. I thought of giving it to mother to try."

He spoke haltingly and it took him a long time to finish his words.

But Nian Shilan didn't care, she just listened and said, "Thank you for being thoughtful, Fu Dong will keep it."

The Fourth Prince couldn't hide his joy on his face, and wanted to say something else, "Among them..."

But Nian Shilan didn't listen carefully anymore. Instead, she looked at her own shiny black hair in the bronze mirror and leaned forward, "White hair... Songzhi, quickly hide where I can't see you!"

Songzhi: "Yes, Madam."

"I am really old." Nian Shilan was disappointed. Then she turned around and glanced at the Fourth Prince. "What did you just say?"

"No, it's nothing. Mother is not old at all. In my son's heart, mother will always be young."

Nian Shilan smiled and said, "You are the only one who said that."

Song Zhi refused to admit defeat, "I think so too. Your Majesty is now in her prime, and her beauty is well-known in the capital, like the goddess of the sky descending to the mortal world. No matter who she is, she would feel ashamed in front of the beauty of our Majesty."

"Pfft." Nian Shilan was coaxed into laughing by her.

When Songzhi saw the empress smile, she was happy. After she had dressed up, she helped Songzhi up.

"You, you are the most smooth talker." Nian Shilan nodded at Songzhi and they walked out the door together.

The Fourth Prince followed behind him, wanting to say something.

Nian Shilan suddenly turned around and asked, "Fourth Prince, are you going directly to the academy in a while?"

Fourth Prince, "Your son, I have to go to Shoukang Palace first to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, and then go to the academy later."

"That's good. It's freezing cold now, and it's time for the snow to melt. Although it's not as cold as before, it's still freezing cold at this time of year. You have to be careful and wear more clothes."

"I am in good health, I am not afraid."

Nian Shilan nodded and then left.

The Fourth Prince fell to the ground without finishing what he wanted to say. He could only face Nian Shilan's back and say, "Your son, I respectfully send you off, mother."

Jingren Palace.

These days, there is nothing much to talk about in morning meetings.

The Queen just kept muttering about putting on more clothes because it was cold, and from time to time she talked about issues of offspring, and then about the Queen Mother's illness.

These are the same topics that come up over and over again.

Just listening to it makes me sleepy.

Today, the newlyweds are about to enter the palace, so there is one more topic to talk about.

"In three days, four new sisters will come to the palace to keep you company. This is the top priority this spring." Yixiu pursed her lips and maintained her usual decent fake smile.

Concubine Duan also came here rarely. "Oh, I don't know yet, which families these sisters belong to, and what are their ranks?"
