Chapter 36 The Queen's Recovery

"Sister, you've been feeling really good lately. Look at your complexion. Your skin is so tender it's almost as if you could squeeze water out of it."

Shen Meizhuang's tone was mostly joking, but there wasn't a trace of jealousy in it.

"Sister, you're making fun of me again."

Zhen Huan spoke coquettishly, but the blush on her face became even more dazzling.

"Whoever dares to laugh at Lady Wan, I will be the first to disapprove."

Nian Shilan listened to their conversation and laughter inside, and walked in with a teasing look on her face. Before entering the house, she gave Songzhi a look and asked her to wait at the door.

When Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan in the room heard Nian Shilan's voice, they quickly looked towards the door and stood up.

"Good luck to the Queen."

"This Huanbi is the same, why didn't she even inform us when the Empress came?"

"Okay, don't be angry. I told them not to talk. It's been so long, there's no need for us to be so reserved."

Zhen Huan quickly asked Jin Xi to go to the small kitchen to get some snacks that Nian Shilan liked.

"How did Her Majesty find time to come here today? Sister Mei just came over and suggested that we go to see Her Majesty together later. I didn't expect Her Majesty to be so sympathetic to us."

"You have such a small mouth. No wonder you are so favored by the emperor. Even I feel particularly comfortable listening to what you say."

"Your Majesty, you are teasing me anyway."

Several people were chatting and laughing in the house, as if all the conspiracies and struggles did not exist at this moment.

"However, I came here to remind you of something. Sister Wan is currently in the emperor's favor, and Sister Shen is also highly regarded by the emperor. In this harem, the emperor's favor is certainly the foundation of your life, but sometimes it can also be a death warrant. You must be careful about everything in the future. You must be careful about everything you eat, wear, and use. Remember, it is always wise to be wary of others."

Nian Shilan really cares about them. Although she used to interact with them with the intention of taking advantage of them, after such a long time of contact, she found that they are worthy of making friends, and she is willing to give them more advice.

"Also, I may not interact with you too often in the future. The current emperor is most afraid of factions in the former court, and the same applies to the harem. We must be careful in everything we do."

Even Nian Shilan now spends most of her time in the Queen Mother's palace and rarely meets with other concubines. She now knows how to restrain her edge.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other. They didn't know whether Nian Shilan had discovered something, but what she said made sense.

"Don't worry, your majesty. We will be extra careful."

"Of course, if you encounter any emergency, you can come to me at any time. The door of Yikun Palace will definitely be open for you at any time."

In fact, Nian Shilan still had some things to say, and she only remembered them when she met Lipin today.

During this period in her previous life, Zhen Huan was drugged.

But now there is no evidence, and she can't directly tell them about her past life. She can only ask them to be more careful and hope that those bad things will not happen again.

"Also, since you have been favored for a long time, you should pay special attention to your belly. If you find out that you are pregnant, you must not publicize it."

Nian Shilan knew very well that the woman in Jingren Palace was very capable and would never allow the birth of any offspring that was not in her plan.

However, speaking of offspring, Nian Shilan thought of what the Empress Dowager said to her yesterday in Shoukang Palace.

"Shilan, I know you haven't been able to conceive for so many years, and you've been feeling very miserable."

Nian Shilan still remembered how she responded at that time: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about me. I have come to terms with it now. I am not destined to have children in this life. I just feel a little guilty towards the Emperor. Fortunately, my sisters now have the Emperor's favor. With my sisters helping him to have children, I feel a little relieved."

In fact, Nian Shilan really doesn't care whether she can have children or not. Since her rebirth, she hasn't used Huanyixiang for a long time, and she has secretly sought treatment from a doctor outside the palace. She just doesn't want to worry about her children anymore. She thinks this is a good thing, and the royal family will feel more at ease about the Nian family.

"Your Highness, we will be very careful. You don't have to worry about us. Your Highness should also take care of yourself."

Zhen Huan was very grateful. Nian Shilan always thought about them, but she didn't pay any attention to the emperor. She didn't know what happened between her and the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor mentioned you when he was dining here the other day. He still cares about you very much."

Nian Shilan waved her hand and said, "Forget it. I'm old now and don't want to compete with you girls for attention anymore. I just want to protect my family well. We can talk about other things later."

After going through so much, if she still thinks about those vague love affairs all day long, she would be really sorry for the opportunity God has given her.

"But……"

Zhen Huan wanted to say something, but Shen Meizhuang gently pulled her sleeve and shook her head at her.

Hua Fei has been in the palace for so many years, and the favor and status she has received are not comparable to those concubines who have just entered the palace. Now that she no longer cares about these things, it means that she must have seen through a lot of things.

As Hua Fei's friends, they just need to respect her ideas.

As for the fact that Nian Shilan went to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects from time to time, the Queen did not take it to heart at all. In her opinion, no matter how much the Queen Mother favored Concubine Hua, she was the Queen of the Ulanara clan and was bound to the Queen Mother by blood. If she really encountered any problems, the Queen Mother would definitely protect her, just like you many times before.

Now, the most important things to her are those people who are favored by the emperor. Since some of them cannot be won over, she has to control everything within her control as soon as possible.

"Jianqiu, ask An to promise to come and pay respects tomorrow. Now I'm going to Shoukang Palace first."

Although An Lingrong looks delicate, she is actually very delicate and considers things comprehensively. Now that the Queen is in need of people, An Lingrong has gained a foothold in her favor.

Zhen Huan has been favored by the emperor for a long time, and many concubines have complained to the queen in words and deeds.

As for the queen, she was worried about how to bring up this matter. Now that someone took the initiative to give her a reason, she had nothing to worry about.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

"The Emperor is free today and has come to visit the Empress Dowager."

The Queen didn't expect that the Emperor would be here today. This was a good thing. It would be best if some words could be said from the Queen Mother.

"Why is the Queen here today? Are you feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am now fully recovered, so I hurried over to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

The Queen has been claiming to be ill for quite some time now, and even the management of the six palaces has fallen on Concubine Hua for a long time.

She came to Shoukang Palace today, firstly because of Zhen Huan's matter, and secondly, she also wanted to take this opportunity to tell others that she, the queen, was still alive.
