Chapter 13: What a Scheming Person
Song Zhi immediately explained, "Your Majesty is so busy that you may have forgotten that our Miss Nian married Miss Sun's brother."
My father's aunt's half-sister!
Sun Zhuhe was originally the magistrate of Suzhou. This year, thanks to his brother, he was promoted to a high position and was appointed as the governor of Suzhou Textile Factory, and was also in charge of the tax affairs of Hushu Customs.
It's a rare and lucrative job.
In the previous life, because the Sun family lived in Jiangnan and the relationship between the two sisters was average, the two families did not visit each other very often. In other words, my brother had connections with the Sun family, and I was in the palace, and apart from the tribute of brocade, I could get two more horses, and nothing else.
Because her half-sister, herself and her two brothers were not born of the same mother and their relationship was not deep, Nian Shilan had never paid much attention to it. Now thinking about it this way, she suddenly understood why Sun Miaoqing had inexplicably lost the election in her previous life.
The emperor was trying to warn the Sun family.
No, the emperor is using the Sun family to threaten our Nian family!
The desire to annihilate begins today!
Damn! What a vicious fat orange!
Unfortunately, my brother and I were so indulged in the pampering that we didn't realize it. Something is wrong. "I remember that Suzhou specially sent some silk a few days ago?"
Song Zhi tried to recall, "Your Highness may have remembered it wrongly. Now is not the day for Suzhou to pay tribute. But if Your Highness wants Song Jin to make clothes, just pass on the word, and the Sun family will definitely select the best ones and send them to you."
Nian Shilan shook her head.
This is by no means an easy matter.
Although the details of the love affair were not explained in detail, she had experienced it once in her previous life. Before the palace selection, Sun Zhuhe sent someone to deliver brocade silk. The Yikun Palace picked the best ones and put some silver bills inside, which was considered an open bribe.
The emperor had spies throughout the palace, so he must have known about this, and that was probably why he took action against Sun Miaoqing.
But how could the Sun family avoid the mistakes of the previous life in this life?
Nian Shilan held Songzhi's hand, her eyes slowly focused, Songzhi was confused: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"Sun Miaoqing."
"Hmm!" Songzhi was inexplicably nervous.
"Same as me."
"How can a mere concubine be equal to you, Your Majesty?" Songzhi was the first to disagree.
Reborn!
Nian Shilan believes that a single move can affect the entire body, but her rebirth may affect any changes in the palace, even the Nian family, but it will not affect the Jiangnan Sun family in any way.
Sun Miaoqing was reborn before the palace selection, so she stopped her brother's behavior in advance, avoided key mistakes, and was selected.
Judging from the emperor's character, he will most likely use Sun Miaoqing to challenge me.
The emperor's calculation was wrong. I will not fight for it and let his Miaomiao stay with him forever.
At night, the queen took off her makeup and prepared to go to bed. Jianqiu held up the bride's booklet and said:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua has moved Concubine Zhen's residence to Chengqian Palace."
"Chengqian Palace?"
The Queen took the booklet.
Is Nian Shilan going crazy?
She doesn't love the emperor, so why bother trying so hard to please him?
Or does she hope that Zhen will be favored so that she can stay out of trouble?
madness!
If Zhen is favored, she will become the second elder sister. Then, even if she has the support of the Nian family, it will be of no avail.
Although I don't know what her fate was in her previous life, judging by her intelligence and Nian Gengyao's actions, I'm afraid her fate will not be any better than mine.
Maybe worse.
The Queen closed her eyes and rehearsed in her mind: If it weren't for Nian Shilan's inner voice, she would have been jealous of Nian Shilan's favor and thought she could control the newcomer to the palace, so she would have used Zhen Huan to deal with Nian Shilan.
The woman who will control the harem and decide the fate of the Qing Dynasty in the future?
The Queen thought about what Nian Shilan was thinking about. Does Zhen not want to be selected?
The green leaves are not noticeable among the dense tree canopy, but if there is a little green among the red, it will be completely different.
Today, when all flowers are in full bloom, she goes against the trend and wears plain clothes. Isn't this a way of advancing by retreating and competing by not competing?
Nian Shilan also said that there was a top female scholar in her harem. How could such an intelligent person not know such a simple truth?
It's just a way of quietly magnifying one's own advantages.
What a scheming person!
The harem is full of complicated relationships; today they are sisters, tomorrow they are enemies.
This person appears to be a sheep but is a wolf at heart.
If my guess is correct, in Nian Shilan's previous life, both I and Nian Shilan must have suffered great losses at her hands.
Maybe his death was also related to her.
Nian Shilan has no brains, but she must not be confused.
"Go to the storehouse and find a ginseng and send it to the Yikun Palace."
"My lady, what are you doing?" Jianqiu couldn't understand her master's behavior at all. "Concubine Hua changed the concubine's residence without your permission. She didn't take you seriously at all. Why are you rewarding her?"
Jianqiu thought for a moment, leaned forward, and whispered, "Are you going to do something inside?"
"What are you doing?" the Queen scolded.
The new beauties entering the palace this time are full of hidden talents. That stupid one, after being reborn, only knows how to eat. She doesn't even know how to check if someone has done something wrong, and I don't know where her confidence comes from.
Do you really think you can be reborn and become immortal?
It doesn't matter if she eats too much or dies from it. I won't be able to hear anything from her from now on, and that would be a huge loss.
The queen warned, "She has always been extravagant in her food and clothing. You must choose the best! Otherwise, she will be dissatisfied."
“My queen…”
"Go quickly." Headache.
Jianqiu didn't dare to say more, "Yes, Madam."
"Remember to remind her to come to thank you early tomorrow morning, even if she doesn't want to!"
The queen wanted to know what terrible idea she was thinking.
Jianqiu left and the lights in the bedroom went out.
The Queen had just closed her eyes when she thought of something else and couldn't help but call Huichun.
"Your Majesty, please tell me what you want. I am here."
"Tomorrow, all the palaces will come to pay their respects. Please prepare the new Rain Dragon Well for Concubine Hua."
It’s not that there is no good tea in Jingren Palace. The empress just wanted people to think that she was virtuous and frugal, and it was just a good contrast with the extravagant Concubine Hua. Besides... these women in the harem don’t deserve to eat and drink well.
But now it’s different. Concubine Hua is not only sharp-tongued, but also swears in a harsh way.
I hope that after drinking the mold-free Yuqian Longjing tea, the voice in her heart will be sweeter.
The next day, Jingren Palace.
Nian Shilan and Shanshan arrived late, and the concubines below the seat complained and talked in low voices. Some said that Concubine Hua was spoiled by relying on Nian's family status, and some said that no matter how powerful the empress was, she was the real master.
"Hua Fei is here——"
No matter what, when seeing Nian Shilan, he still had to stand up and greet her, "Greetings, Concubine Hua."
"Everyone, get up."
Nian Shilan walked forward with her chin held high. As she walked, she glanced at everyone she saw and commented on them in her heart.
