Chapter 151 No Appetite
"How's Fourth Prince doing?"
Songzhi knew that Nian Shilan had not rested at this time, so after returning to Yiku Palace, she immediately walked into Nian Shilan's bedroom.
"In reply to your Majesty, as you expected, the Fourth Prince did not come out of Jingren Palace until very late. I gave him the mung bean soup and waited until he was about to arrive at his residence before leaving. He asked me to convey his gratitude to you, Majesty."
"I hope he is truly grateful and pays more attention to me in the future."
In fact, if the Fourth Prince could really ascend to the throne in the future, Nian Shilan did not expect him to give her much convenience. She just hoped that he would not do anything to hurt them, her sisters.
"How is Rou Chang now? I heard that the Emperor has been staying in her palace these days."
The harem is a place where the powerful are trampled upon and the weak are praised. Rou Changzai was in great favor with the emperor, and her status in the palace was becoming more and more prominent. It was only a matter of time before her rank was raised.
"Yes, but I heard something. It seems that the official lady named Xiaolan had some minor conflicts with Rou Chang. I only heard others mention it during the day, so I don't know the details yet."
When talking about the news she heard during the day, Songzhi couldn't hide the smile on her face.
It was really that Concubine Rou was too annoying. She seemed gentle and virtuous on weekdays, but was very harsh to the people around her in private. Songzhi had heard about this from the servants of Chuxiu Palace more than once.
"Oh, is this true?"
Although Nian Shilan did not take Rou Changzai and the official girl seriously, she couldn't help but like to watch the fun.
"Go and find out more about this matter tomorrow, and then come back and explain it to me in detail."
How could she miss such an event? Moreover, she wanted to see how the Queen would react if she knew about it.
"yes."
Songzhi understood her queen's temperament pretty well and was willing to share with her all the gossip she had heard.
Seeing that most of the summer heat had passed, Zhen Huan felt increasingly lazy for some reason and was unwilling to move. There were times when she even felt extremely sleepy after eating a few bites.
However, thinking that the weather was still somewhat hot, Zhen Huan did not take it to heart. But when she thought that it was time to pay respects at Jingren Palace again, Zhen Huan felt unwell.
Zhen Huan, who usually went to Jingren Palace early, found that almost everyone in the palace had arrived when she arrived today.
"Sister Duan, Sister Jing, you're here so early! It seems like I'm late today."
After greeting Concubine Jing and Concubine Duan, Zhen Huan smiled at Chen Meizhuang, An Lingrong and others.
Ever since Concubine Duan had Wen Yi, she felt that she had hope for the future and her health has improved a lot.
"We just arrived not long ago, isn't our imperial concubine not here yet?"
"Hey, who is this person who is saying bad things about me? I caught him red-handed."
Speak of the devil, and Nian Shilan's figure soon appeared in front of everyone.
"We're not criticizing you. We're praising you for having such a good sense of timing. Look, the people from the main venue have arrived as soon as you arrived."
Concubine Jing now began to joke casually in front of Nian Shilan. She looked at the person who came in from the other side, said something in a low voice, and looked ahead with a meaningful look.
"The Queen has arrived!"
"This concubine pays her respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
"Everyone, get up."
The queen walked to her main seat and sat down, her face always maintaining her dignified expression.
"It's still quite hot these days, so you should take good care of yourselves and avoid getting too hot."
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"The Empress Xi looks a little unwell today, but there is nothing wrong with her body."
"In reply to the Queen, perhaps because the weather is a bit hot, my appetite has been a little poor these days, but it will be better in a few days."
"But the imperial physician has examined it. It's better to be careful about everything."
"Yes, I understand. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
The queen probably just said a few words casually and then looked away.
"There aren't that many princes and princesses in the palace nowadays. You sisters still need to serve the emperor well and give birth to children for him as soon as possible."
"Yes, I will follow the Queen's instructions."
"Okay, there's nothing else to do, so you can all go back to the palace."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
Zhen Huan followed everyone out of Jingren Palace, but for some reason, she felt as if she was getting weaker and weaker.
"Huan'er, what's wrong with you? You didn't sleep well yesterday. Why do you look so bad?"
Chen Meizhuang and An Lingrong walked with her, watching her gradually slowing down her pace, and asked worriedly.
Hearing Shen Meizhuang's words, Nian Shilan and Xin Guiren, who were walking not far away, also came over and looked at Zhen Huan.
"Indeed, she doesn't look very well. Liu Zhu, please go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Dr. Wen to come to the palace. It happens that this place is not too far from Yongshou Palace, so we will take care of your young lady."
Nian Shilan immediately gave orders to Liu Zhu.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Liu Zhu was worried about Zhen Huan's health, so she said something to Zhen Huan and then ran away.
"Huan'er, are you still feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry too much. I might just have a bit of heatstroke."
Seeing Shen Meizhuang's worried look, Zhen Huan smiled and comforted her.
Concubine Xin was very envious of the way they got along. The relationship between Concubine Hui and Concubine Xi was really great.
However, they didn’t expect that not long after they arrived at Yongshou Palace, the emperor also came.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"I pay my respects to the Emperor."
"Hurry up and get up, you are all here. What happened to Concubine Xi? I just saw that girl Liu Zhu running to the Imperial Hospital, but you are not feeling well."
After leaving court, the emperor had planned to visit Lingxi and Hongzhou in Yongshou Palace, but unexpectedly he saw Liuzhu on the way and immediately quickened his pace to come here.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I'm just feeling a little tired. Sister Hua was worried, so she thought of asking Liu Zhu to ask Imperial Physician Wen to come and take a look. Your Majesty hasn't had his meal yet, right? It's a good opportunity for you sisters to have dinner together."
"That's fine."
Nian Shilan thought that there was nothing else to do later, so she did not refuse. She directly pulled Chen Meizhuang and others to sit down at the dining table behind the emperor.
"Jinxi, go to the small kitchen and bring over the emperor's favorite snacks."
"Your Majesty, please drink some porridge to warm your stomach first."
Zhen Huan was serving food to the emperor. Her virtuous appearance made Nian Shilan stunned. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would really give Zhen Huan a thumbs up.
She still remembered what Zhen Huan had said to her when they were chatting before. The most powerful thing Zhen Huan had learned in this palace now was to be able to put aside her emotions and still present a perfect image in front of the emperor.
"You all eat too, Huanhuan, you should eat a little too."
"Yes, I don't have much appetite, so I'll just have some porridge."
