Chapter 158 She Teaches the Queen

Never...

The emperor certainly believed in the ability of his own stick-sticking department. He was wondering whether the Nian brothers and sisters were standing in the square chatting out of courtesy or deliberately being on guard.

Forget about the etiquette. If they were on guard, it is very likely that the brothers of the next generation had already met before today.

Moreover, they met secretly without being seen by others.

The more careful you are, the more it shows that something fishy is going on.

"Did Nian Xiyao receive any letters from home before he returned to Beijing?"

The emperor suspected that Nian Shilan had communicated the news to Nian Xiyao in advance.

Xia Qian had followed the emperor for so many years, so he could naturally guess his intentions. "To reply to your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine only sent some gifts to the Nian Mansion before the Qixi Festival, and the Nian Mansion did not send any letters during those two days."

In other words, Nian Xiyao didn't know about Shilan's rebirth.

"However, the Imperial Concubine often exchanges letters with General Nian."

Could it be that Cheng Gengyao already knew?

If he knew, why would Lunch still be so arrogant?

Afterwards, he returned to Yangxin Temple alone, and his attitude improved significantly.

The emperor had many questions in mind, "I want to see the letter."

"Yes, I will definitely fulfill your mission."

Xia Qie left and Su Peisheng came in to serve tea. The emperor closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

"Su Peisheng."

"The servant is here."

"you……"

Su Peisheng waited quietly for further instructions.

The emperor slowly looked at him, "Do you believe that the dead can be resurrected?"

Su Peisheng suspected that the emperor was drunk and missed Empress Chunyuan, so he said cautiously: "When a person dies, it is like a light going out. I am ignorant and have only heard of reincarnation, but never resurrection."

"Yes, how can a person be reborn?" And he was reborn many years ago.

If the emperor had not been able to truly hear Shilan's inner voice and see her words come true time and time again, he would not have believed it.

Rebirth is hard to come by, and reading minds is even harder.

The emperor shook his Buddhist beads and said, "Go tell the Royal Consort that I will go to her place tonight."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

On that day, the court judge Zhang Mi came to check the empress's pulse. He brought an extra medical apprentice with him than usual, but he was carrying the medicine box himself, and the two people behind him were each holding a large box.

After taking the pulse, he said that he knew that the Empress Xiao loved to study medicine, and he had obtained some good books, so he came to give them to her.

After Zhang Mi left, Jian Qiu opened the box and said, "I didn't expect that Doctor Zhang would also please the Empress."

Is it Zhang Mi?

The Queen picked up a book at random and asked, "General Nian had a meal in Yangxin Palace two days ago. What did you hear?"

"I heard from the young servant that the Emperor called General Nian his 'benefactor' and said that he and General Nian would be a model monarch and minister for all ages. It seems that he intends to continue to use General Nian."

"Reuse?"

The queen flipped the page casually, "'If God wants someone to die, he will make him mad'. The emperor is used to praising and killing people. This is waiting for General Nian to make a mistake so that he can take back the power from him."

"The Imperial Concubine is pregnant and cannot serve the Emperor, but whenever the Emperor enters the harem, he goes to the Yikun Palace."

"There is no other way. The Nian family is a civil and military official. Even if the emperor is unwilling, he has to appease the imperial concubine for the sake of the government and the country."

Jianqiu: “?” Who is coaxing whom?

"It's hard for the Imperial Concubine to act with him even though she's pregnant."

[Jianqiu, why is it getting so cold today? 】

[The northwest wind is blowing, it's a bit cold, let your servant bring you some more clothes. ]

The queen listened to Nian Shilan's voice becoming clearer and clearer. Was she imitating herself in her previous life in her heart?

You're almost going to be a mother, but you're still so unruly.

[“This Jingren Palace is always cold. It only warms up every time the emperor comes.”]

[Old Deng is not a heater. He is already old and still needs to rely on a little girl for warmth. Yet you are counting on him to absorb your yang energy. No wonder he doesn't like you.]

Queen: “…”

The reason why Nian Shilan said "rely on the little girl for warmth" in his heart was because the emperor summoned Chun Changzai a few days ago.

There were so many illnesses and things going on in the harem that the imperial concubine couldn't sleep with him.

The emperor always has to open the pot.

"I pay my respects to the Empress." Nian Shilan stood up and said to Jianqiu, "You go and guard the door first."

Jianqiu: “…”

She glanced at the Queen, who nodded.

Nian Shilan looked at the Queen with a proud look in her eyes, "Why don't you practice calligraphy today, Queen?"

[In your previous life, you were practicing calligraphy in the study today, and discussing with Jianqiu about giving Jingren Palace to me.]

Queen: “…”

[But don't worry, I have never set my eyes on your Jingren Palace. ]

The queen pretended not to hear. She glanced at Nian Shilan's waist and said, "Your baby is very smart."

"Before, it had to be concealed, so it was hard to tell that you were pregnant, but now it's growing fast." The queen calculated the time, "It's been more than six months, and it looks like it's catching up with other people's seven or eight months."

[He is of royal blood, not some wild child.]

The queen was speechless. "I'm telling you to be more careful about your diet. The baby in your belly is too big, and the risk during delivery is even greater..."

[Don't worry, I've been very careful. Jiang Cheng is now only in charge of Yikun Palace. He personally checks what you eat every day.]

Nian Shilan saw the medical book on the table and was overjoyed: [How is it? ]

[I said I would give it to you quietly, so I will give it to you quietly. I will keep my word. 】

The queen frowned deliberately, "It is indeed different."

"What?"

"Now that my brother is back, I have someone to lean on, and I feel more energetic."

More than just spirit?

The Queen saw that it was her fault that she did not wear her hair in a braid, otherwise the braid would have been flaunting all the time.

Nian Shilan leaned back, glanced at him with a proud and coquettish look, and said "of course" on her face.

[Now, I don’t need to worry about the things in the harem. My eldest brother asked someone to prescribe a new prescription for me, and my second brother gave me gold and silver jewelry. I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a new set of clothes for me to wear after I give birth.]

She thought to herself, looking at the queen's hair, "You still have to use my golden hairpin to match you, those little fly legs really won't do."

The Queen looked at Nian Shilan with disdain: It's really unbearable to look at Deyi Jin'er.

Nian Shilan took out a box from somewhere like a magic trick.

"Pick one."

She opened the box and pushed it towards the Queen - inside were two different bracelets.

[One is a carved ivory bracelet with four seasons flowers and gold inlay, and the other is a gold-inlaid nanmu longevity incense bracelet with gold patterns.]

[The materials and craftsmanship of the two are completely different, both are top-notch and unique in the world. ]

[Even if you wear them together, no one will notice the problem. ]

In fact, when I was at the palace, my elder sister Rouze treated me quite well.

But her good points were her polite attitude, she did not bully herself like her mother did, and when she occasionally saw injustice, she would order her servants not to treat people harshly.

But it won’t be like Nian Shilan.

When they get something good, they rush over to offer their treasures.

Nian Shilan highly recommended it, and Zheng Zhong added, "My brother gave it to me."

The queen couldn't tell for a moment whether she came to give gifts or to show off her brother.

【Don’t be afraid. 】

The Queen doesn’t know what she is afraid of?

[My eldest brother said that I was hurt by Huan Yi Xiang before, and I need to be more careful when I am pregnant. My eldest brother is also very concerned. This thing was brought back by my second brother. My eldest brother checked it again and again, and there is absolutely nothing harmful in it. ]

Looking around the world, the only one who dares to use the word "absolutely" is probably Nian Shilan.

She sincerely wanted to send it off, but if the queen was polite to her, it would hurt her feelings. "I am old, and it is not suitable for me to get pregnant. Even if it is harmful to my body, it doesn't matter."

【Stupid talk! 】

Nian Shilan did not hesitate at all, [Is it possible that the only thing a woman can do while alive is to give birth to a child?]

[Even if you can't have children, you still have to take good care of your body. ]

[How smart a person is, he can't even understand such a simple truth. ]
