Chapter 150: Family Glory
In the past, Nian Shilan sat in the sedan chair, leaning back with her chin slightly raised, which showed honor and pride.
Now her hand fell on her stomach involuntarily.
Coming out of Shoukang Palace and riding in a sedan chair towards Yikun Palace, she stared straight ahead with a firm look in her eyes:
"My dear son, don't be afraid. Your mother is here."
"Last time, your mother failed to protect you. This time, no one can hurt you!"
After experiencing two lives, Nian Shilan admits that she is not as smart as others, but no one can underestimate a mother's desire to protect her child!
When An Lingrong told herself that the Lin Yi incense could warm the palace and soothe the mind, and could counteract the effect of musk, she knew that the Queen would never be her enemy again in this life.
Huanyixiang has also changed.
The hidden dangers that harm the body are eliminated.
Combined with dietary adjustments, my menstrual blood has been very normal since the New Year.
But her body had been damaged chronically for many years and was easily affected. As soon as she got hot, her menstrual period became irregular again.
After going to the Old Summer Palace, my period was delayed for several days.
Soon after her period, she began to experience nausea, vomiting, and vomiting, and she also felt easily fatigued.
Nian Shilan was not a little girl who had just entered the palace. She had children and wanted her own children, so she naturally knew what these symptoms meant.
Bowl after bowl of iced fruit was brought into Yinfeng Hall. She picked the sourest fruit and pressed it under her tongue.
When the sour taste subsides, take a bite and spit out the pitiful sour feeling.
She didn't dare to let the imperial physician, who refused to tell her that there was something wrong with Huan Yixiang, know her condition easily.
So when Jiang Cheng came to ask for her pulse during those days, she lied and said she was fine and refused to let him take her pulse.
Subconscious behavior is terrible.
The inner voice is scarier than the subconscious mind, and it is difficult to control by the brain.
Therefore, even when she was alone, she didn't dare to think about being pregnant. She would try to attribute all symptoms to the weather, emotions... Anyway, she didn't want to be pregnant.
If you don't think about it, you won't have so many moments of being unable to control yourself.
Sometimes she wondered if she had made a wrong judgment.
But even if she was wrong, she had to be wrong.
There is no way.
She couldn't afford the risk.
Only by hiding the truth from oneself could one deceive everyone else, including the emperor who wanted to be deceived the most.
Of course, truth cannot be hidden, and simply hiding it from the emperor would be of no avail.
Smart people have smart ways. Nian Shilan realized that she was not smart enough, so she found someone who was smart.
On the night of Wen Yi's birthday party, she asked Jiang Cheng to take her pulse and then asked him to go to the Queen.
Jiang Cheng was dragged onto the "pirate ship" by the Queen.
The next day when she said she was leaving the palace, she knew that the queen was doing her best to help her.
God knows at that moment, Nian Shilan was like a person groping forward in the fog, and suddenly saw a little light.
She really wanted to give the Yikun Palace and her best jewelry and clothes to the empress.
Whether she is a royal concubine or not, it is just external things and a matter of the dog emperor's words. It is not important. None of it matters.
None of them are as important as the baby in your belly.
Thinking that it was the Queen who helped her out of her predicament today, Nian Shilan went straight to the warehouse after the sedan chair returned to Yikun Palace.
"Her Majesty is here——"
The voice of the messenger came in, and the Queen Mother said sarcastically: "Listen, the Queen is now acting very arrogantly."
The queen entered the room and knelt down to salute the empress dowager, "I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."
"I don't dare~"
The Queen Mother did not immediately ask the Queen to stand up, and she didn't even look at her.
"As long as the Empress is well, the Emperor and Empress do not need to worry about whether the old woman is well or not."
It was obvious that the Queen Mother took out the anger she had received from her son on her daughter-in-law.
The Queen knew what she would face today, and she had been waiting since she returned from Yangxin Palace.
"Your Majesty's words are serious. I am terrified."
"You are afraid? The Queen is now the virtuous and benevolent queen of the six palaces, and the mother of the country. I should be the one who is afraid."
"Xianliang" means that the queen accepted Nian Shilan's child, and "Dehui Liugong" means that she was on good terms with Nian Shilan.
The Empress knew that the Queen Mother, herself, and the Emperor were of the same kind, and many things would not be said openly.
She didn't say it clearly and just played dumb.
"I will never forget the Empress's teachings over the years."
Another person who deliberately goes against himself.
The Queen Mother's chest rose and fell more deeply. She might as well say it more directly, "I am old, but I am not blind. How did Sun Dowing's child die? How did she have an affair with the guard? You know better than me."
"I am stupid. Sun has been demoted to a commoner by the emperor. She was indeed unaware of her child. As for the affair, I went there with the emperor and I know no more than he does."
The Queen Mother nodded. "Then tell me, who does Han Ying and Han Rui belong to?"
"All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the land are his subjects. Who in the harem is not a member of the royal family?"
Beating around the bush won't work on the Queen.
The Queen Mother decided to speak frankly. She raised her hand and, together with Zhu Xi, sent all the servants out.
It's much simpler to get straight to the point.
It was already dark when we came out of Shoukang Palace.
The Queen stood at the palace gate, refusing to get into the sedan chair, and her face looked uglier than the weather.
“My queen…”
Jianqiu didn't need to guess to know what the empress dowager said to the queen today and how serious her tone was.
She was the Empress's maidservant who came with her as a dowry and had followed the Empress since she was a child. No one knew better than her the neglect and grievances her master had suffered since childhood.
Who doesn't want to be like Queen Chunyuan, spending her days with poetry and books, playing chess and music, and being a carefree and simple-minded little white flower?
But how can a simple-minded little white flower survive in such a deep house?
When the master married into the palace, the Fourth Master was not favored by the previous emperor and had no chance of ascending to the throne. The master had finally accompanied the prince through that time and had children, and it seemed that she was about to succeed and become the Prince's concubine and the Empress.
But they come to pick fruits at this time.
The Queen Mother saw everything, but chose to turn a blind eye.
He also advised his master to be tolerant.
Jianqiu, who had always felt that the Empress treated Concubine Hua Gui too well, now firmly said, "Your Highness is fighting for yourself, what's wrong with that?"
The Queen slowly turned her head and looked at Jianqiu. The Queen Mother had just said:
For the sake of family honor and the throne of queen, Nian Shilan cannot keep this child.
Family honor?
That family has brought me so much suffering, why should I be proud of it?
Queen's throne?
What's so great about being the queen?
The dog emperor has issued an order that I shall never see him again in this life or in this life, causing me, a dignified queen, to be imprisoned until death, becoming a laughing stock for the whole world.
Where is the "family" at this time?
Nian Shilan said that the Queen Mother left a will before her death to save her own life. Was she saving herself?
She was protecting the honor of her family.
If she didn't have her own abilities, she and her family would have chosen someone else to sit on the throne of queen long ago.
If you rely on a mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on a tree, the tree will shake; the only person you can rely on is yourself.
"Does the Emperor know?"
The Empress Dowager told the Empress about the events in Shoukang Palace.
Jianqiu nodded, "When the queen came, the news had already spread. The emperor must have known about it by now."
"very good!"
The Queen looked indifferent. She wanted the Emperor to issue an order personally to let her take care of Nian Shilan's pregnancy.
The imperial edict must not be wrong. If I keep this baby, the empress dowager will not be able to say anything.
That idiot is now so confident in himself that he will tamper with her diet and on the day of the birth, he will kill the mother and leave the baby behind.
No one knows about it.
From then on, the Sixth Prince had only himself as his Empress Dowager.
She did her best to raise Nian Shilan's children, as if they were her own. Nian Gengyao and Nian Xiyao, one a martial artist and the other a scholar, were aware of the high expectations she placed on the Sixth Prince, and they would definitely follow her lead.
When the time is ripe, please let the dog emperor die and rule the country from behind the curtain!
snort!
What family?
Ai Jia is my own family!
