"The Emperor has few children, so my hope now rests on you newcomers. Nan Chang is in the Emperor's good graces, so you shouldn't be left behind."

Yixiu used a roundabout way to shift the topic away from the Fourth Prince and Concubine Hua.

Yan Ruofan breathed a sigh of relief, simply thinking that the matter was over.

"I know I am not as blessed as Nan Chang, I..."

Ever since entering the palace, Yan Ruofan has never thought about vying for favor or becoming the most favored among the six harems.

My mother always said that once you enter the palace, it is like living with a tiger.

As for their Yan family, the burden of revitalizing the family does not need to be borne by her alone. There will be men to fight on the battlefield and charge into battle. It is what the Yan family's parents want for her to live a happy and peaceful life for the rest of her life.

Seeing her like this, Yixiu understood a little bit. In order to reveal the secret in Yan Ruofan's heart, she couldn't rely on competing for favor, but needed another means.

Yixiu raised her eyebrows and smiled dignifiedly, "You don't fight or compete, and you don't show off. I think you are not a jealous person. You can be a role model in the palace. You are young, and it is rare for you to be so steady."

After a round of praise, Yixiu remembered something and her eyes lit up, "By the way, you are most familiar with the ladies in the capital. Now that the Third and Fourth Princes are getting older, it's time for them to get married. Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"

"Marriage!" Yan Ruofan's eyes widened immediately.

She thought about how the Fourth Prince was going to get married as soon as she entered the palace, and she missed the chance to meet him.

And the Fourth Prince still has someone he loves, which he feels is extremely unfair.

Yixiu had a unique vision and hit Yan Ruofan's sore spot, causing her to lose her composure and reveal her true colors.

really……

Yixiu pretended not to notice anything and continued, "After all, the Imperial Concubine is not the legal mother, and she has never paid attention to the Fourth Prince's marriage. The marriage should have been arranged before you entered the palace, but the Imperial Concubine stopped you. Actually, there are a few girls of your age who are suitable for the Fourth Prince."

As she spoke, she pretended to be embarrassed as if she had said something wrong and hurriedly explained.

"I was wrong. You are already the emperor's concubine, and I shouldn't tell you this."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruofan felt even more heartbroken.

It turns out that everything was done by Concubine Hua!

According to the Queen's words, she could have had a chance to marry the Fourth Prince.

Originally, they were considered a good match. Not to mention being the principal wife, she would be willing to be just a concubine.

But because of Concubine Hua's obstruction, she entered the palace as a concubine.

Not only did it ruin her, but it also made her miss the opportunity to spend her life with the Fourth Prince.

How could such a wicked person actually receive the love of the Fourth Prince?

Why, why!

Yixiu looked at her with a smug look on her face. "Noble Lady Yan? Noble Lady Yan?"

"I am here, but I was distracted for a moment."

"It doesn't matter if you get distracted, but it would be bad if you go the wrong way," Yixiu smiled faintly and picked up the teacup. "People in the palace must learn to protect themselves and use the opponent's strength to defeat the opponent. Concubine Yan obviously looks troubled, which makes me feel very distressed."

"We are both sisters in the harem, so I naturally feel sorry for you. Since you have seen what happened between the Fourth Prince and Concubine Hua, you should learn to turn your troubles into help."

Yan Ruofan was not a fool, she understood the Queen's obvious hint.

But she was still conflicted.

"Your Majesty, I am stupid. I am just a noble lady. It is not easy for me to protect myself. I am afraid that I am incapable of using someone else's strength to defeat him."

"Whether they are incompetent or capable, the palace is not short of smart people, but smart people can also go astray." Yi Xiu put down the teacup, stood up, walked to Yan Ruofan, and personally helped her up slowly as she saluted.

"If a smart person takes the wrong path, it's like a blind person walking between cliffs. He can't see clearly, so no matter how smart he is, it's useless. But you are different..."

"Your Highness, how am I different?" Yan Ruofan was a little confused and just stared at the Queen blankly.

"You have someone to rely on. You have someone to rely on that can stand firm even in the wind and rain." Yixiu patted her hands and smiled a little arrogantly.

"Let her be a noble concubine or an imperial concubine. If the emperor is unhappy, she may be a concubine today and a commoner tomorrow. But I am different. The queen can only be the queen!"

Although the last sentence was light, it was so powerful that it seemed to echo throughout the entire Jingren Palace.

Yan Ruofan listened, and the blazing flame of revenge in her eyes gradually became apparent.

Sometimes, some people are blinded by hatred for just a moment.

But it will take a lifetime to resolve this misunderstanding.

……

Yikun Palace.

"Is mother awake?"

The Fourth Prince stood at the door worriedly for a long time. During this time, he ordered the kitchen to prepare meals at any time and wait for Nian Shilan to wake up.

As soon as someone came out, he would immediately go up and ask.

Concubine Xin smiled and said, "The Fourth Prince is truly filial and kind-hearted. It is truly touching."

The Fourth Prince lowered his head and said, "Madam Xin, please stop teasing me."

"Don't worry, Fourth Prince. The Imperial Concubine will wake up soon. I just heard from Fudong that you asked the kitchen to prepare the meal. You can heat it up now so that the Imperial Concubine can have dinner when she wakes up."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince's eyes lit up immediately, "Really? Then I'll go right away."

Having said that, he ran out, and his servant followed him and almost failed to catch up with him.

The servant was still shouting, "Fourth Prince, you can just let me go and inform them, why do you have to go in person?"

The fourth prince said, "The kitchen only makes those few dishes. If mother has a poor appetite when she wakes up, she might not want to eat. I'll ask the kitchen to make a few more dishes."

Concubine Xin covered her mouth and smiled, "Who says adopted sons are not as good as biological sons? It's worth it for a mother to meet a good son like the Fourth Prince."

She looked at Tong Jiarubi and remembered something, "Hey, you are strong and healthy, you should get pregnant with a little prince or princess as soon as possible."

Tong Jia Rubi just smiled faintly, "In this case, it depends on fate."

"Too."

After the two left, Nian Shilan woke up as expected.

I didn't get enough rest these days, so I didn't sleep well just now.

I felt dizzy, but I had to listen to Concubine Xin and Concubine Chen talking, thinking in my mind.

However, knowing that Concubine Chen was loyal to her, she felt relieved.

It's not that she didn't feel this way before, but Concubine Chen's attitude has always been vague. However, now, what makes her a little confused is...

She always felt that when Concubine Chen looked at her, there was always something strange, as if she was looking at an old friend.

But Nian Shilan couldn't remember when she had met her.

After thinking about it, I feel that it is not right. The age is not right, the identity is not right, and it is probably because there is no occasion to meet him.
