Chapter 152: Nian Shilan entrusts his son to his care
"...I never thought that the Emperor would value this baby so much. He first made her a noble concubine and then a royal concubine within three months. Now he has asked the Empress to take care of the royal concubine's baby."
After everyone left, Shoukang Palace fell silent. Sun Zhuxi helped the empress dowager back to the side hall and said as they walked, "The emperor is so disregarding etiquette, I'm afraid there will be criticism from the court and the public. Isn't the empress dowager going to give him some advice?"
"A word of advice? Huh~"
The Queen Mother smiled, but her voice was cold, "He is the emperor. I am old, how dare I give him advice?"
"The emperor must also respect filial piety, righteousness, and propriety, otherwise he will be laughed at by the world. The Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother, so what can't be said?"
The Queen Mother shook her head and sat down. "He has never been close to me since he was a child. Why should I bother myself with this?"
Sun Zhuxi agreed with the idea of not looking for troubles. "In fact, it is better to be more open-minded. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It is best for the Queen Mother to take care of her own health during her remaining years."
But the Queen Mother did not let it go. She just realized that the Emperor's actions today touched the Queen's pain point.
Royal Concubine, Imperial Concubine...
Knowing that he had summoned the Queen yesterday, he asked her to look after Nian Shilan's pregnancy today.
He really didn't care about the Empress's face at all, and every step he took was a step on Yixiu's face.
If the Queen was still hesitant about sending Nian Shilan and her son away yesterday, I'm afraid she would be completely unable to sit still after receiving the letter from the Royal Concubine today.
This is also good. With Yixiu's personality, he will definitely protect the small and sacrifice the big, and take the child away to raise himself.
If this is the case, the Nian family might also be used by the Uya and Ulanara families.
Previous life... is like living a new life, it is still a life lived in vain, a fool is a fool!
The promotion to the title of Imperial Noble Consort was clearly an insult to the Empress Dowager, but Sun Zhuxi saw that the Empress Dowager was in a better mood.

Jingren Palace.
"The Imperial Concubine is now favored by the Emperor. Are you interested in my Jingren Palace and want to live here?"
The Queen sat in the main seat. Apart from Jianqiu and Songzhi, there were no other servants in the palace. She did not speak as carefully as she did outside.
Nian Shilan looked at the Queen without saying anything. The Queen continued:
"Jingren Palace is old and shabby, not as magnificent as Yikun Palace. I guess the Royal Concubine..."
[Did the Queen Mother say many hurtful things to you yesterday? ]
Before the queen finished speaking, her eyelids suddenly raised and she looked at Nian Shilan sharply.
What does it have to do with her whether the Queen Mother hurts me or not?
Shouldn't she be concerned about how I'm going to kill her after I meet the Queen Mother?
[Although I am not as smart as you, there is actually no difference between you and me.]
[The Emperor may have some feelings for Shilan, but not for Nian Shilan, so he can be cruel to Nian Shilan. ]
[Although you and the Queen Mother are from her mother's family, she did use her will to save your life in her previous life, but in the end, what she cared about was not you, but Ulanara's. And what she saved was not your position as Queen, but the position of Queen of the Uya and Ulanara clans.]
Yes, success is due to Xiao He, and failure is also due to Xiao He.
[You know, she can even abandon her own niece, let alone you who was born out of wedlock? ]
[She knows my temper from Concubine Duan’s experience, and my brother is coming back soon. She wants you to do something she can’t do herself. She doesn’t care about your situation at all…]
[I'm not trying to provoke you and the Queen Mother. What I mean is that even I can look down on my feelings for the Emperor. You are so smart. There is really no need to be sad for someone who doesn't care about you.]
People who care about themselves?
After my mother died, who still cared about me?
They just hope...
[They never asked you to enjoy the honor of a legitimate daughter, but asked you to bear the responsibilities of a legitimate daughter. They hoped that you would fight for honor for your mother's family, but your mother is gone, and the person who is most worthy of your life is no longer here.]
[The emperor is not worth your efforts, because the queen in his heart is only Chun Yuan from beginning to end. ]
【Since you are alone, you can live for yourself without having to shoulder those heavy responsibilities. 】
The Queen's gaze lost its edge.
This idiot seemed to know why he was angry, even better than himself.
[I have seen your story eight hundred times. Whether you believe it or not, I have let it go.]
[I have been protected by my brothers since I was young, and I am used to being willful. I do things without thinking about the consequences. Even if I live again, it is still difficult to change my nature. This year, my brothers are not here, and you have taken care of me openly and secretly. Otherwise, I would still be like in my previous life, annoying the emperor and going down the same old path.]
The queen looked away: Idiot, you are quite self-motivated.
Who took care of her?
【It is you who gave me my own child. 】
That is my plan for my own future.
[If it weren’t for you yesterday, my son and I would have been in trouble.]
The queen felt something was wrong when she heard the tone.
[It is a fact that the dog emperor is jealous of the Nian family. He is just angry with the Queen Mother now, so he gave me the title of Imperial Consort. When he calms down, he may not let me go.]
【My child and I can probably only keep one. 】
[This is probably fate, so you don't have to worry about it, just help me keep the baby. ]
Difficult?
The queen frowned: You are so self-indulgent! I won't make it difficult for myself!
Not at all!
【I have lived once, he has not. 】
[Don't worry, the dog emperor in the previous life wanted to kill you because he knew you were plotting to murder Junyuan. Yesterday I successfully made him think that it was the Queen Mother who did it. As long as you don't admit it, this matter has nothing to do with you.]
success?
She is as confident as ever.
[My second elder brother will go to Beijing in October. We will work together to protect him. When I die, you will be the only queen mother of my child. You should take good care of him. With my child, my two elder brothers will definitely stand on your side.]
These are exactly what the Queen was thinking after she came out of Shoukang Palace yesterday. She should be happy that Nian Shilan was so cooperative.
But from Nian Shilan's heart, he had mixed feelings.
Especially when she said "Wait till I die"...
It really is hard to change one’s nature!
Because she was so stupid, she drank the abortion drug sent by Concubine Duan. Because she was so stupid, she was deceived by the emperor all her life.
Now that he knows that he is going to harm her, he still dares to believe in himself!
This idiot girl will end up dead even if she lives her life a thousand times!
The queen became inexplicably angry and really wanted to scold her: How stupid!
【Do you think I'm stupid? 】
[But I am just this kind of person. I just want someone to love me wholeheartedly and exclusively. If I wasn't so extreme, I wouldn't have ended up in such a desperate situation in my life.]
【I don't regret it! 】
[When my child grows up, tell him to put state affairs first and that one queen is enough for the harem.]
Just one queen... is enough...
Is she really entrusting her child to others?
[If a man cannot control his own mind and body, how can he govern a country? ]
[Those people in the barrage said that the West has already entered industrialization, but we are still fighting in the palace. ]
[We don't know what industrialization means, but it definitely sounds better than women fighting each other. Anyway, you and your brother should assist him well and don't let the barbarians surpass us.]
Seeing that the Queen had no intention of speaking, Nian Shilan stood up.
When leaving, he still bowed perfunctorily.
But this time, Jianqiu not only did not complain, but became a little anxious when she saw that the empress was still silent.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has left."
