Chapter 105 Concubine Qi is pregnant
"Songzhi, have someone investigate whether this queen has any other motives besides having feelings for the Fourth Prince."
Nian Shilan always felt that the Queen's purpose this time was not just this. No matter what, she had to make plans early.
"yes."
"I'm afraid that if Concubine Xi knew that the Emperor had no intention of taking her to the temporary palace, she would be very sad."
Because the relationship between her master and Zhen Huan is getting closer and closer, Songzhi has become more concerned about Zhen Huan's affairs.
"Yes, although we planned this before, my thoughts are still different from the emperor's original intention. Her sincerity towards the emperor before is very similar to my former sincerity."
Nian Shilan murmured softly, as if talking to herself.
"But fortunately, some things that happened later prevented her from placing all her love on one person. The sooner she sees this clearly, the better it will be for her. This way, she won't make the same mistake I made."
"What is it, Madam?"
Nian Shilan's voice was too low, and Songzhi, standing nearby, couldn't hear it clearly.
"Nothing. How can you know everything about my past?"
Nian Shilan still looked arrogant, but now her eyes were less sharp in front of her own people, and Songzhi was not as scared as before.
"Your Majesty, do you no longer love me? Am I going to fall out of favor?"
Seeing Songzhi deliberately trying to win favor, Nian Shilan covered her face with her hands.
God, how could she not know when Songzhi became so talkative? People who didn’t know would think she was a heartless man.
"Okay, stop joking with me. It's getting late. I want to rest for a while. You can go out first."
Here in Yongshou Palace.
"Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. I will definitely not embarrass you."
That night, the emperor came to Yongshou Palace specifically to have dinner with Zhen Huan, and took the opportunity to explain to her why he did not let her accompany him to the temporary palace.
It turns out that since the birth of Zhen Huan's twins, the emperor's favor for Zhen Huan has caused dissatisfaction among the ministers of the previous dynasty. Many ministers have mentioned to the emperor that he should not over-favor a certain concubine in the harem, and even mentioned that it is a matter of the foundation of the country, and if it continues for a long time, it will bring disaster to the previous dynasty.
This was someone deliberately making a big fuss about it and misleading the public. It shouldn't have been a big deal, but the person behind it took advantage of the emperor's suspicious nature and guessed that the emperor would not be willing to appoint a crown prince so soon. Zhen Huan already had the emperor's favor, and now that she had a prince, it was inevitable that she would have other thoughts.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about this. These are just random guesses from others. The Sixth Prince is only a few months old now. I just hope that he can be safe and happy in the future."
Zhen Huan couldn't help but sneer in her heart. It was true that the emperor's mind was unpredictable.
No matter how much he loved the Sixth Prince before, now people were just making some random guesses about him, and he began to have doubts in his heart. He even believed the Queen's words and let her stay in the palace.
"Hanhuan has always been sensible. Don't worry, I will definitely protect our Sixth Prince."
The emperor patted Zhen Huan's hand soothingly.
Originally, the emperor's plan did not include Concubine Xin, but Nian Shilan used the excuse to ask her to help take care of Princess Shuhe, and the emperor graciously approved her request.
Unexpectedly, on the second day after arriving in the Old Summer Palace, Concubine Qi was found to be pregnant.
This made her even more spoiled, and sometimes she even ignored Nian Shilan.
"Your Majesty, this Concubine Qi takes herself too seriously. She's not the only one in the harem who's been pregnant. Why is she so pretentious?"
One day, when Xin Chang was sitting with Princess Shuhe and Nian Shilan and chatting, she became very angry when she thought of the smug look on Concubine Qi's face every time she saw her in the past few days.
"It's just some little tricks, don't worry about it. She thought her pregnancy was a good thing, but she didn't expect whether the master behind her would tolerate this unexpected accident of hers."
Nian Shilan said something with a hint of meaning.
"Your Majesty means, the Queen."
After some guidance from Nian Shilan, Xin Chang understood the relationship.
This noble lady Qi has been dependent on the queen since she entered the palace. She is just a pawn in the queen's hands.
Now, she relies on her mother's family's power in front of the emperor, and thinks that the mother will be honored by her son, and wants to advance further through her offspring. However, she did not expect that the current queen is not a generous person.
"We should just watch the show from the sidelines, but we still have to be careful not to get involved in their fights."
The Queen always likes to kill people with a borrowed knife, and she will definitely do the same this time in the matter of Concubine Qi.
"My queen reminded me."
"Let's go, let's go congratulate Noble Qi."
Nian Shilan thought that there was nothing else to do today, so she might as well find some fun for herself.
"good."
Xin Changzai had been with Nian Shilan for a long time, so she immediately understood the meaning of her words.
She covered her mouth and smiled. She guessed that the only person who could be really happy about this matter was the empress in front of her. Thinking of the empress's mood at the moment, why did she feel a little gloating?
It’s over, it’s over. I have really been led astray by the imperial concubine.
At this time, Concubine Qi had been helped by her maid to lie on the bed. Seeing Nian Shilan, she pretended to struggle to get up, but her body did not leave the bed at all.
"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."
Nian Shilan walked up to her and gently held her arm that was resting on the bed, and spoke to her with a smile.
"Lady Qi, please don't be so polite. You are pregnant now, so you need to be more careful. Don't worry about these empty formalities."
"I heard about your happy event and was so happy that I immediately came to congratulate you."
Nian Shilan said this sincerely. She really wanted to know how the queen felt at the moment.
"I didn't expect to encounter something like this this time, and I didn't bring anything valuable to the palace. I will definitely make up for it when I return to the palace."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I never thought I would have such a blessing. The arrival of this child really surprised me."
Concubine Qi's words almost made Nian Shilan's expression tense.
Who is this trying to fool? It's only meant to fool the concubines who have just entered the palace.
Everyone knows how much the Queen cares about other concubines having children. Moreover, she has not been in the palace for long. Given the Queen's personality, she would not let her get pregnant unless it is absolutely necessary. Moreover, Nian Shilan knows very well what is in the medicine delivered to Chuxiu Palace every day.
After chatting with Concubine Qi for a few minutes, Nian Shilan made an excuse to let her have a good rest and left with Concubine Xin.
"My lady, you almost laughed just now."
Xin Chang now speaks more casually after spending a long time with Nian Shilan.
She saw it very clearly just now, otherwise if Nian Shilan had not suggested leaving, she would not be able to hide the smile on her face.
"You have a sharp eye."
Nian Shilan gave Xin Changzai a reproachful look.
