Ni Yueshan sat in the carriage and instructed Qingdie beside him: "Remember to have someone collect her body, sew up her head, and bury her!"
Qingdie understood, "Yes!"
Without the two troublesome people, the Queen and Yu Fei, Ni Yueshan's life was much more peaceful, but Concubine Wan sent a palace maid to summon her into the palace.
Inside the palace, Ni Yueshan was brought into the hall by palace servants. Concubine Wan was waiting eagerly. When she saw Ni Yueshan, she quickly stood up and stepped forward to greet him.
"Yueshan, Yueshan, you know the current situation. The harem is without a master, and I have no children. However, the other people who are pregnant with princes are not as high-ranking as me. Do you have any good ideas to help me?"
Concubine Wan spoke simply and directly, without hiding her intentions.
Ni Yueshan was pulled by her to sit down. Ni Yueshan frowned slightly and responded, "Aunt, do you want to be the master of the harem?"
"yes!"
The sentence is very concise, but also very firm.
Ni Yueshan touched his abdomen with his hand, remained silent, and seemed to be in deep thought.
Concubine Wan asked curiously, "I wonder how you found Mei'e? Did you put her in the palace just to make the emperor angry with the queen? Or did you have any other intentions?"
Ni Yueshan came back to his senses and responded, "Mei'e is indeed a chess piece, but she is brave enough to take risks. Now there is no relationship between her and me, and we will not interfere with each other!"
Concubine Wan looked at Ni Yueshan with a reproachful look, and reached out to hold her hand: "You child, you are playing with such a good chess piece so casually, you really are..."
She said flatteringly, "Why don't you help me talk to her? She has no hope of becoming the queen, but I have a chance. If the baby in her belly is a prince in the future, it will be under my name..."
The following words are not explained, but the meaning is very clear.
Ni Yueshan knew exactly what Concubine Wan was planning. She raised her lips slightly and responded, "Aunt, not to mention the ten-month pregnancy, the gender hasn't been determined yet. You're being too hasty. How do you know that the Emperor won't favor you in these ten months? What if you were pregnant on your own?"
Concubine Wan smiled, covering her mouth, but patted Ni Yueshan's hand again, her expression seemed to be a little flattering: "If it doesn't work, then forget it. You take me to find her and introduce me to her! What happens next is none of your business!"
There is no woman in the harem who does not guard against each other. Ni Yueshan’s recommendation was useless to her.
But Concubine Wan helped a lot this time, and there was no reason for her to reject her small request.
Ni Yueshan and Concubine Wan went together to find Mei'e. Mei'e was now one of the four concubines, on par with Concubine Wan, but she had no background. No matter how new or fond she was of the emperor, he would never make her the queen.
Mei'e saw the two of them, her eyes flickering: "Sister Wan Fei, Princess Chen, why did you come together?"
"De Fei, please sit down!" Concubine Wan let go of Ni Yueshan's arm and walked towards Mei'e, looking extremely attentive. Ni Yueshan brought people here, and the intention of introduction was obvious. Mei'e would not fail to understand.
Ni Yueshan never mentioned any other topics. He just sat there with an indifferent expression, chatting with the two of them about random things. In the evening, Ni Yueshan left the palace.
As soon as Ni Yueshan left, Concubine Wan stopped hiding her feelings. She put a piece of silk to her lips and coughed, then spoke: "Concubine De, to be honest, you have been so favored lately, it is only a matter of time before you conceive the emperor's heir. But if you get pregnant, the emperor's favor will no longer be able to shed light on you."
Mei'e looked at Concubine Wan with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Could it be that Sister Concubine Wan has another trick up her sleeve?"
Concubine Wan's snow-white skin was filled with confidence. "Didn't you dance with such force that it stunned the Emperor? Teach me, I must be unreserved and add something new. I must make a splash! Only then will the Emperor show me favor again. Then, not only will I be favored, but you and I might even have children. Together, we'll have a place in the harem."
When Concubine Wan saw Mei'e didn't react, she coughed and said, "Besides, what do you think I lack as the queen?"
Mei'e's eyes flickered. They were short of an heir to the throne. As long as they had a son, and Concubine Wan became the queen, no one would be able to compete with her.
The position of Imperial Noble Consort is now vacant. Even though Concubine Wan is only one of the four concubines, she is the most prestigious in the palace.
Mei'e's eyes flickered, and finally turned into a smile at the corner of her mouth: "I understand, I'll teach you!"

According to the speed, the letter sent by Ni Yueshan should have reached the hands of the two men, but they were far away in Tufan, and the reply could not be delivered to Ni Yueshan in time. Ni Yueshan waited every day, feeling more and more worried.
The day for Ni Gaofei to meet those women arrived. Ni Yueshan took Ni Gaofei up to the upper floor and pointed at the women at the banquet below. He said, "Dad, these are all around your age. Some have children, but the children are with their husbands. Some have lost their husbands and are still with their children. Some have been divorced. In short, they are all about to remarry..."
"It's not impossible to arrange a girl for you who is in her prime, but it always feels weird. I feel like you are taking advantage of her..."
Ni Gaofei just felt embarrassed because he was standing high. Although the people below could not see him, he could only see a figure at a glance and had no idea what it looked like.
Ni Gaofei quickly retracted his gaze: "You're the one who decides this matter. Appearance is not important, and family background is not important either. As long as the person has good character, it's fine!"
Ni Gaofei's requirements are really not high. He is already in his forties and is not like his teenager who would be deceived by appearance and guide his choices.
