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

When the Fourth Prince heard this, he knew that Empress Hua was mocking him, and he pouted.

"I really miss you, but you won't come to see me. I have no choice but to beg you two aunts. Please don't blame you two aunts."

Nian Shilan sat down and looked at his little face.

It is just as the imperial physician said, his body has recovered well, and he looks good now, no different from before he was poisoned.

"Well, now that things have come to this, I am not going to leave. Sit down first. I will talk to you for a while."

Nian Shilan picked up the pastry on the table, put it in her mouth and took a bite.

This cake was exactly what Songzhi had just delivered.

The Fourth Prince sat opposite her with a smile on his face, took out the book in his hand, and raised his face, "Madam Hua, I have finished reading the "Zizhi Tongjian" in the past few days, and also made a lot of notes. The palace tutor taught very well, and I have learned a lot."

Seeing him asking for praise, Nian Shilan was not stingy at all.

Gently picking up his book, she turned the pages one by one, "Sure enough, you have memorized a lot, but these characters still need to be practiced. However, after you have finished learning calligraphy, there is no rush to practice calligraphy, just take your time. Besides, it is rare for you to have such a heart."

The Fourth Prince's mood improved after receiving the praise, and he couldn't help dancing with joy.

"Thank you for the compliment, Madam Hua. Although the tutors at the Prince's Office also praised me, none of them made me as happy as Madam Hua's compliment!"

Nian Shilan rubbed her head, with a smile in her eyes.

Even she herself did not realize that she exuded such kind love.

It was something she had never felt before and didn't think she would ever have.

Then Nian Shilan sat down to help him peel the fruit, while the Fourth Prince sat beside him to review his lessons.

When Songzhi, who was standing by, saw this, she suddenly burst into tears.

Fu Dong saw that something was wrong with her and poked her with his elbow.

I leaned my head out and looked sideways, only to find that Songzhi was actually crying.

Then he took out his handkerchief and handed it to her, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay," Song Zhi took the handkerchief, "I just suddenly remembered that if the queen's child was still alive, would the scene now be like this?"

Fu Dong had no idea that the queen had a child before.

I wanted to ask, but I felt that Songzhi wouldn't answer much.

Afterwards, the queen summoned Songzhi to come forward to serve her, and Fudong tilted his neck and told Xichun what he had just heard.

Xichun also knew nothing about this and just shook his head.

Fu Dong tilted his neck and thought, "I didn't expect that Concubine Hua had lost a child before. How pitiful."

Hearing this, Xichun rolled her eyes at her, "She is the queen. Even if she lost her child, she still has a lot of wealth and splendor. You, a hard-working maid, actually feel sorry for the queen."

Fu Dong pouted and turned away, "My mother lost a child. I know how it feels, but you don't."

Yes, Xichun doesn’t understand.

She took great pains to come to Yiku Palace to serve.

I just want to get more reward money and silver from Concubine Hua.

Even if she was just given some jewelry, it would be enough for her to live a worry-free life outside the palace.

But the queen did not think highly of her. Instead, she valued Fu Dong, who was a little dumber than her.

I really don't understand what the queen is thinking.

She tilted her neck and her mind was full of thoughts.

He didn't notice at all that someone was coming over here.

When the person walked up to him, he realized what was going on and hurriedly saluted.

"Good luck to you, noble lady."

Hearing the voice behind her, Nian Shilan frowned slightly, and even the sound of the Fourth Prince reading stopped.

She didn't look back, but continued to peel the fruit, then put a piece into her mouth.

Concubine Qi naturally had to pay her respects to her.

I saw Concubine Qi walking towards me with her waist swaying.

"Good luck to the Empress Hua." Then she turned around and smiled flatteringly, "Oh, isn't this the Fourth Prince?"

The way she smiled was so charming that the Fourth Prince felt uncomfortable.

The person in front of him was not as pretty as Empress Hua, but he was arrogant and conceited inside. He appeared respectful on the surface, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

"You seem to have never seen this lady before. How do you know I am the Fourth Prince?" The Fourth Prince looked at her and blinked.

Concubine Qi smiled and said, "There is only one prince of your age in the palace, the Fourth Prince. I naturally know."

Nian Shilan's eyes narrowed and something flashed through her mind.

The Fourth Prince smiled and said, "It seems that the Queen is very familiar with the affairs of the palace."

After that, he turned to Nian Shilan and said, "Madam Hua, I am very happy to meet you and chat with you today. But I have had enough fun and it is time to go back, otherwise the maids will be worried."

In front of Noble Lady Qi, he deliberately emphasized the term "chance encounter and casual chat".

Nian Shilan just nodded coldly, "Then go ahead."

After saying this, the Fourth Prince ran away with his book.

Only Nian Shilan and Concubine Qi were left.

Nian Shilan no longer ate fruits and vegetables, but instead ate melon seeds.

He didn't even look at Concubine Qi.

Since Concubine Qi chose to come, she must have a purpose.

She pretended to be relaxed and said, "The scenery in the center of the lake is really beautiful. No wonder Concubine Hua and the Fourth Prince like to come here to play and enjoy."

As she spoke, she was about to sit down in the seat that the Fourth Prince had placed for her.

But it was interrupted by a condensing sound.

"Did I ask you to sit down?"

When Nian Shilan said this, Concubine Qi's half-bent body froze in the air, and she didn't dare to sit down yet.

She gritted her teeth, but she didn't dare to sit down. She could only bow again, "Your Majesty, do you want to talk to me while standing? But I haven't recovered from the cold caused by the recent fall into the Thousand Carp Pond. Please let me sit down and talk."

She said in a soft voice.

Acting delicate, weak and sickly in order to gain sympathy.

But Nian Shilan did not change at all. Instead, she said coldly, "The Fourth Prince was poisoned half a month ago, but he recovered within half a month. How come Concubine Qi just choked when she fell into the water, but now she seems to have a fatal disease and can't even stand?"

Without waiting for Lady Qi to reply, she continued.

"If this is really the case with Lady Qi, then I will ask the Imperial Household Department to remove the lady's green badge. It is not appropriate for you to serve the Emperor if you are not feeling well."

"You said that, right?"

She was dignified and her tone was unquestionable, even full of the dignity of a superior.

Concubine Qi was angry but dared not say anything, and was frightened by her last sentence, so she tried to make up for it with an awkward smile.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. It's not that I can't stand. It's just that I just walked from Suiyu Pavilion and my feet hurt, so I want to sit down. Your Highness is worrying too much."

She thought her statement was infallible.

But he didn't expect that Nian Shilan would still catch him.

"Okay, since Lady Qi said that I was worrying too much, then I have to worry too much."
