Chapter 1909: Things will be affected

Nan Yan listened and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is this my gossip?"

At this time, Aunt Tongyun frowned and said to Nianqiu, "Okay, okay, why do you have so much gossip?"

Nan Yan reached out to stop her.

"Let her speak."

"The Queen will be angry if she hears those nonsense. It's not good for the fetus."

"That's all right. I'll just listen and have some fun."

Seeing her like this, Aunt Tongyun was helpless and could only sigh. Nan Yan then said to Nian Qiu, "You say."

Nian Qiu then spoke cautiously, "They all say that the Emperor dotes on the Imperial Concubine too much, to the point where she doesn't know when to advance or retreat. She always tries to excel in everything and always gets ahead of the Empress in everything."

“…”

"Things like letting relatives into the palace to accompany you were all initiated by Your Majesty, and only then did the Empress do this."

“…”

Nan Yan listened in silence for a while, then asked after a while, "Anything else?"

Seeing her expression becoming serious, Nian Qiu didn't know what to say.

He just said, "It's all nonsense, Your Majesty, please don't listen to it."

“…”

Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "It's not all nonsense. Things will complain when they are not right. It's also my fault. I was too careless in my previous actions."

"Your Majesty..."

Ran Xiaoyu thought about it and said, "The Emperor's favoritism towards the Empress is not a good thing for the Empress. If the Empress does not restrain herself and always tries to be the best and stronger, and overshadows the Empress, it is indeed not a good thing."

This time, Aunt Tongyun looked at her in some surprise.

"Oh, is this still Miss Xiaoyu? This doesn't sound like what you would say."

Ran Xiaoyu blushed and said angrily, "Auntie, why are you not serious anymore?"

Aunt Tongyun smiled and looked at Nanyan again. Nanyan smiled and said, "That's right. I feel like she has been reborn."

Ran Xiaoyu's face turned even redder, and she stamped her feet and said, "Let's talk business!"

Only then did everyone stop laughing.

Aunt Tongyun said to Nanyan, "Miss Xiaoyu's words make sense. Besides, I find it a little strange."

"What's strange?"

"The Empress has been favored for a long time. Why wasn't there so much gossip before? Instead, it's when the Empress is not in the palace that gossip increases."

Nan Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Besides the Queen's family entering the palace, is there anything else going on?"

Aunt Tongyun thought for a long time and said, "I heard that the Empress has recently selected a few more women from official families for the Emperor. She plans to wait for the Emperor to return to the capital to select some to fill out the harem."

“…”

"But these people haven't entered the palace yet."

Nan Yan said, "These words cannot be said by people who have never entered the palace. They must have been spread by the old people in the palace."

Nian Qiu was puzzled: "What does it matter if I tell you?"

“…”

"Hasn't everyone known about these things for a long time?"

Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Even though I know it in my heart, speaking it out always hurts someone's face."

Nian Qiu immediately asked, "Queen?"

Nan Yan nodded.

He added, "The Empress is not demanding the Emperor's favor. She is the Empress, so naturally she should be tolerant and magnanimous. However, these rumors have spread, and they have ultimately hurt her reputation."

"So, the person who spread this rumor was deliberately trying to sow discord between the Empress and the Queen."

Nan Yan said: "There's more."

This time, Ran Xiaoyu was also surprised: "What else?"

Nan Yan said, "Tong Yun just said that the Empress has selected some daughters from official families for the Emperor, and they will soon be entering the palace. Think about it, what would happen if these newcomers heard those gossips?"
