Chapter 105 Moving to Yilan Palace

Concubine Lian was proud again, her face full of pride and confidence.

The Emperor couldn't bear to part with her, right? He still had her in his heart...

Is the Emperor...starting to fall in love with her?

Xu Lanshan didn't feel angry or resentful about Concubine Lian being reinstated. With so many people being promoted, even for the sake of the Empress Dowager and the Fu family, the Emperor couldn't possibly leave Concubine Lian out.

Anyway, she is the one who has gained the most and the greatest benefits, so what else is there for her to be dissatisfied with?

Amidst the drinking and chatting, everyone continued to enjoy the singing and dancing, and complimented the emperor from time to time.

Perhaps because of the previous excellent performance, the subsequent performances were not as stunning as Xu Lanshan's, so people lost interest and had little desire to appreciate it.

At nightfall, after feasting, they all dispersed, bowed their heads in thanksgiving, and went their separate ways.

Naturally, Xu Lanshan didn't have time to move to Yilan Palace today, so she returned to Cuiyinxuan.

Emperor Yuan Yong went to Fengwu Palace.

Before going to bed, Xu Lanshan hurriedly asked the system: "Tongtong, where is my reward?"

"My dear, you are so great! My dear, you are so awesome! It's my blessing to meet you!" The palace fighting system was obviously very satisfied with Xu Lanshan's performance today, and gave her a series of flattering compliments.

Xu Lanshan laughed out loud: "You are such a flatterer! Reward!"

"Okay, kiss!"

"Increases physical strength by 10%, flexibility by 20%, swimming skill by 30%, cold resistance by 30%, voice by 30%, drug and toxic resistance by 10%, plus one mission failure exemption and two blood-replenishing pills! Would you like to claim them now?"

"Get it now!"

"Okay!"

Xu Lanshan closed her eyes and felt carefully. She could feel a little bit of change. It was... very magical and subtle.

This feeling is so wonderful!

"I understand everything else, but what's the point of this voice optimization?"

"Don't you want to be more talented? Your dancing is amazing, and you can't lose at singing a little song!"

Xu Lanshan: “…”

Okay, let’s do the full song and dance!

I mean, how can we do without such necessary means to win favor?

The next day, Xu Lanshan moved to Yilan Palace. The Shanggong Bureau sent many people to help.

Yilan Palace is less than half a quarter of an hour away from Ganyuan Palace, which is quite close. No one lived here before.

A while ago, someone from the Shanggong Bureau was doing some repairs and cleaning here, but it didn't cause too much noise, and the repairs weren't just to this particular palace. For the Emperor's birthday, all areas of the palace were being inspected and any necessary repairs were being made.

Therefore, no one took it too seriously. Even Xu Lanshan herself did not expect that this place would be a good deal for her.

But when she moved in, she found that the Yilan Palace had been renovated and decorated very gorgeously.

Every piece of gold, silver, jade and porcelain decoration is exquisite and delicate, and you can tell its high value just by looking at it.

Particularly eye-catching is a twelve-panel crystal-carved landscape and figure screen on a rosewood base in the main hall.

The carvings and paintings on the screen are intricate and detailed, and are outlined with gold lines. Every blade of grass and every leaf is lifelike, and every figure is so lifelike that you will forget the world when you see it.

There is also a complete set of huanghuali furniture such as tables, chairs, couches, desks, and cabinets in the living room of the East Warm Pavilion, which are made according to the space. There is also a pot of red plum bonsai made of various gems, jade, and gold placed on the desk with auspicious clouds and Ganoderma lucidum scrolls by the window, all of which demonstrate the favored status of the owner living here.

Xu Lanshan liked these gorgeous things very much. She walked around inside and out and felt very happy and satisfied.

This Yilan Palace is much larger than Cuiyinxuan and much more comfortable to live in.

With the help of the Shanggong Bureau, and since Xu Lanshan didn't have many things to begin with, there was no need to move anything except the things given by the Emperor and her personal belongings. The move was completed in less than half a day.

The Shanggong Bureau sent over a nanny named Nanny An and a young eunuch named Xiao Zhongzi, implying that the emperor had ordered Eunuch Dong Zhi to personally select them.

Xu Lanshan smiled and accepted it happily.

In this way, her Yilan Palace is now fully staffed, including Nanny An, Xiao Fuzi, Xiao Zhongzi, the two senior palace maids are Yuchan and Yujuan, and there are two young palace maids and two young eunuchs who are responsible for daily cleaning.

These people are all people she can trust. At least she hasn't found any problems yet.

The master's promotion and relocation are both happy events. For Xu Lanshan, this is a double blessing, so naturally she has to celebrate it well.

Nanny An and the others came in, kowtowed and congratulated them. Xu Lanshan generously rewarded each of them with twenty taels of silver. Nanny An, Yuchan, and Yujuan received an additional gold hairpin, and the two young palace maids received a pair of exquisite palace silk flowers. Xiao Fuzi received an additional pair of purses and a jade pendant, while Xiao Zhongzi only received a pair of purses.

As time goes by, the rewards will naturally become more numerous and better, which will not only make them more loyal, but also set an example for those who come after them.

Everyone was happy and gave thanks.

Xu Lanshan smiled and said, "Since you've followed me, we're family from now on. If you're wronged or bullied outside, just tell me. I may not be very capable, but I'll definitely do my utmost to protect my people. I won't let anyone bully me for no reason! Since I dare to tell you this, I'll naturally do it."

"Although I am now favored by the Emperor, I cannot guarantee that I will not be secretly resented. But where there is resentment, there will be trouble. You must remember everything. When you are out in public, you must be cautious and careful. Don't be easily deceived, schemed against, or fooled by others."

"Also, you and I share the same fate. I will protect you as my own people. If anyone betrays me in the future, I will never let them off easily. If anyone thinks that someone will protect you after you betray me, they are mistaken. Even if I risk my life, I will never forgive those who betray me!"

"Have you remembered everything?"

Everyone bowed in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, we are loyal to you and will never waver!"

"That's good," Xu Lanshan smiled slightly. "There's still a lot of time to go. I'll just watch and see! As long as you're all well, I'll definitely not treat you unfairly."

"Yes, thank you for your grace!"

Xu Lanshan smiled again and said, "Alright, let's all go now. I don't have anything to do here. Xiao Fuzi, take ten taels of silver to the imperial kitchen and prepare a good meal for tonight. It will be a reward from me for your new home."

"Yes, thank you for your grace!"

Everyone thanked him and left respectfully.

Xu Lanshan asked Nanny An to stay and talk to Yuchan and Yujuan. "Nanny is an experienced old lady. Please take care of me and give me guidance from now on."
