Then they all started talking about something else.

There was nothing to do, so the queen let the sisters go first.

The concubines left Jingren Palace one after another.

Nian Shilan saw Concubine Qi standing aside and called her over, "Concubine Qi is a Manchu from the Bordered Yellow Banner, so the Queen really takes good care of her. I heard from the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that all kinds of treasures are waiting to be sent to Concubine Qi's Chuxiu Palace."

Wen Yuan of the Guarjia clan paused, looked at her, and bowed, "The Queen and I hit it off right away, and they really get along better."

Seeing her smug look, Nian Shilan said calmly, "Everyone thought that the glorious Concubine Qi would sleep with her, but unexpectedly, Concubine Li took advantage of her. It's really a pity."

After hearing these words, Wen Yuan of the Guwaljia clan's smiling expression immediately froze on her face.

After saying this, Nian Shilan left.

This was said in public, and the concubines nearby all heard it.

Shen Meizhuang was very disdainful of Nian Shilan's actions, and she was more dissatisfied with her behavior against newcomers.

Because he couldn't help but recall how Nian Shilan had dealt with him in the past.

So I wanted to go forward and comfort Concubine Qi.

But he was stopped by Zhen Huan.

"Sister Mei, it's not convenient to act rashly now."

Zhen Huan lowered her voice and spoke into her ear.

It’s not that I don’t want to help Concubine Qi, but Nian Shilan is not someone who can be underestimated now!

If you are not careful, you will fall into her clutches like Concubine Qi, and there will be no recovery.

Then the two of them walked away, and standing behind them was Li Ying, who looked worried.

Of course she heard what Nian Shilan said just now.

Zhishu frowned and whispered, "This Concubine Hua is really something. Isn't this pushing my lady onto the edge of a knife? And my lady is still trying to please her in such a humble way."

Having said that, he suddenly remembered something.

Zhishu said again, "Could it be that all this was a trap since yesterday? Concubine Hua asked the young lady to compete for her favor, and now she is trying to instigate Concubine Qi to target Concubine Hua."

Li Ying clutched the silk handkerchief in her hand, her body trembling slightly, and her lips were completely bloodless.

She couldn't believe that she was tricked into the trap by Concubine Hua with just a few words.

What one pursues is to protect oneself and not seek honor or favor, which is contrary to the truth.

She bit her lip, felt something was wrong, and quickly followed.

After catching up with Lady Qi, he bowed respectfully and said, "Good luck to Lady Qi."

When Concubine Qi saw that it was her who came, her face became unhappy.

"What's the matter?"

She spoke in a bad tone, and Li Ying's tone was even lower. "Sister and I entered the palace together, and I haven't had time to give you a gift yet. I recently bought some new and nice jewelry. How about I ask the maid to pack some and send them to your Chuxiu Palace?"

It's always a good idea to think about giving something as a gift to ease the relationship.

But unexpectedly, when Concubine Qi heard this, her face changed drastically.

"What do you mean? The emperor gave you something this morning, and you use it to humiliate me? Do you think that I haven't seen it, so I can't have it?"

Qi Gui was very angry and his voice suddenly rose.

However, she was lucky to have a beautiful face, otherwise, she would have such an attitude.

The palace maids and eunuchs who were unaware of the situation would probably think that some shrew had been let into the palace to cause trouble.

When Li Ying saw that her good intentions had turned into this, she immediately explained, "No, no, no, my sister definitely didn't mean that."

"Don't think you can be arrogant just because you are favored by the emperor. You even dared to hypocritically go to the emperor to ask about his preferences. If you hadn't resorted to such tricks, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't even look at you!"

Concubine Qi cursed continuously.

Then he flicked his sleeves and left.

Li Ying's face turned paler as she stood there.

Zhishu quickly held her hand tightly, "My lady, my lady."

"How could she know about this!?" Li Ying had never expected that this matter would spread so quickly.

And since Concubine Qi already knew about it, I'm afraid everyone in the palace would have known about it a long time ago.

Well, does the emperor know?

Zhishu shook her head. "I don't know either. But when I went to see Aunt Fangruo yesterday, I didn't see anyone on the road. Although the young lady's order was urgent, I did it quietly. Could it be that Aunt Fangruo told others?"

How this matter got out is unknown.

Li Ying created the first enemy in the palace.

As for Nian Shilan, she couldn't tell whether she was an enemy or a friend.

……

Yikun Palace.

"Your Majesty's guess was correct. Lady Qi really gave Concubine Li a good scolding. Many people on the long street saw it."

Songzhi was helping Nian Shilan to massage her legs and told this story as a joke before and after dinner.

"Hmm." Nian Shilan held the pickle in her hand and ate it bite by bite.

At this time, Xichun came in from outside and reported, "Your Majesty, thank the imperial physician for coming to check Ping'an's pulse."

"Invite him in."

Nian Shilan finished speaking.

Songzhi immediately put down her hands that were pounding her legs, then put away the soft stool where Nian Shilan had placed her feet. After she had arranged everything, Xie Yun came in.

As per custom, I checked Nian Shilan's pulse.

Nian Shilan was waiting bored.

In fact, if she didn't want to be on guard against poison or drugging, Nian Shilan wouldn't want to ask for Ping's pulse.

Not only is it too tedious, but I also have to listen to Xie Yun's nagging every day, which makes my ears callused.

"Your Majesty is in good health, but if you want to have children, you still need to take the medicine I bring you every day. I took your pulse today and found it weak and floating. Is it because you haven't taken the medicine?"

Xie Yun put away his handkerchief and spoke slowly and at length.

Every time Nian Shilan listened, she felt very sleepy.

But she always had to deal with it, because Xie Yun would report her situation word for word to her brother.

If her brother knew that she didn't want children, he would definitely be anxious and sad.

So her usual response to the outside world is to just let things take their course.

It doesn’t matter whether you have it or not.

"The medicine is too bitter. If I drink it three times a day, I will stink."

Nian Shilan frowned, bit her lip, and looked disgusted.

Xie Yun raised his head with a worried look on his face. "If your majesty finds it bitter, you can eat some candied fruit after drinking it. But if you don't eat it, you are already wearing something that hurts your body. If you don't make up for it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover."

Having said that, Nian Shilan was still eating the pickles nonchalantly.

He blinked his bright and clear eyes and looked at Xie Yun, and his eyes seemed to be saying.

"I just won't eat it, what can you do?"

Seeing this, Xie Yun sighed and lowered his head, saying, "Some time ago, the general sent a message to me, asking me to take good care of the queen. If the general knew that the queen was..."

"Okay, okay, why don't you drink? Every time I can't win the argument, I bring him up, but that's not how you play." Nian Shilan frowned and shut him up with words.

Seeing that he had succeeded, Xie Yun couldn't help but smile.

He took out a bowl of warm medicine from the red food box he brought behind him.
