Chapter 181 Grand Prize of Yikun Palace
"Fang, Ruo?"
Zhen Huan blinked, indicating that Shen Meizhuang was right.
"Aunt Fangruo used to serve Queen Chunyuan. The reason why the emperor placed her by my side is considered by outsiders as a favor. I think..."
"The Emperor must have heard the Imperial Concubine's thoughts long ago. He wanted to use me as a substitute, but was afraid that he would lose control of me, so he placed her by my side."
"The Emperor will not doubt what Queen Chunyuan's people say."
Even so, Mei Zhuang still felt it was risky.
Zhen Huan could understand her worries. "Didn't the Imperial Concubine say that people in the harem are sisters today and enemies tomorrow? In the eyes of the Emperor, women are born to be submissive to him. He doesn't need any other reasons. Just because of jealousy for his favor, they will become enemies."
"He's confident enough not to be suspicious."
"Besides..." Zhen Huan leaned in and looked at Shen Meizhuang, "Aren't you still in front of the Royal Concubine?"
Shen Meizhuang reacted for a moment and realized that this was to ask the Imperial Concubine to assist.
"As long as the emperor believes that he will always dote on you, you will always be good to him, and those things that disrupt the court order and are treasonous will no longer happen."
"That's right!"

After the emperor left the court, he went straight to the Yikun Palace. When Nian Shilan woke up, he had been sitting there for a long time.
"Child...child! Where is my child?!"
Nian Shilan touched her stomach and her mind went blank. She turned her head and scared Songzhi who was standing next to her.
Song Zhifu bowed and said in a clear and joyful voice, "To your Majesty, the wet nurse has taken the child away to feed him."
"It's a dragon-phoenix fetus."
The emperor tried to make himself felt by the side, "Shilan, you gave me a pair of dragon and phoenix."
【Didn’t you study a lot? 】
【Why don’t you pick out a few festive lines to listen to? 】
[You dare to use the words you told that little bitch Zhen Huan in your last life to fool me! ]
[Because this is your and my biological child, it's not as likable as a nephew or niece, right? 】
[Seeing his nephews and nieces so happy that they wanted to go to the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity and roll around, his own son had a stern face.]
emperor:?
As soon as she woke up, she didn't even look at herself, but just kept talking about the child. She just said something like "dragon and phoenix bring good luck" and she started talking non-stop like a firecracker.
How could I have a stern face?
【Bitch! 】
Emperor: “…” So now, he also likes to be called a villain?
Pah, what joy?!
[Do you have to be one of the four great masters? ]
Okay, so these are the four great masters, right?
"Where's my mother? Didn't they say my sisters-in-law are here too?"
Nian Shilan refused to look at him, her eyes searching.
In fact, she had already looked at it before going to bed, and could not wait to speak because she was afraid that she would ask herself in her heart where the queen had gone.
Songzhi saw that her own queen didn't want to hear the emperor's voice, so she stepped forward and answered, "Your Majesty, the old lady, the first lady, and the second lady are accompanying the prince and the princess..."
The first lady was Nian Xiyao’s wife, and the second lady was Nian Gengyao’s wife.
[No nice words, and it will affect my meeting with my mother. 】
Emperor: “…” It’s really a love-hate relationship all the time.
"…The Emperor has granted the old lady and the two ladies permission to stay in the palace for two days to accompany you, Your Majesty."
Nian Shilan slowly turned her gaze towards the emperor, unable to hide her joy, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"You're not well yet, just lie down." Do you understand Xie En now?
【It’s a pity to do you a favor. 】
Emperor: “…” He has not read much, but he is quick to talk back, and never says anything to make people happy.
However, even though what she said in her heart was unpleasant to hear, she was just speaking for the sake of talking, and she had never done anything that would actually let herself down.
At least these two children are my own flesh and blood.
This is a great joy.
Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai greeted everyone in the palace and said some auspicious words, congratulating the emperor and the imperial concubine.
The emperor finally heard something that pleased his ears, and he was overjoyed and said, "Well said, everyone in the Yikun Palace..."
[Empress Xi gave birth to a pair of nephews and nieces for you, and the whole palace received a six-month allowance. I am a royal concubine! The concubines of a royal concubine also only get six months, right? ]
[Hmph~ You stingy guy, drink some cool water. ]
Listen, what is this wife saying?
The emperor glanced at her and said, "I will give you a monthly salary for one year each, as a reward for your dedication in serving the master."
The maids in Concubine Xi received the allowance of maids in the imperial concubine's rank. Now that Nian Shilan is a royal concubine, the monthly allowance of the maids in the imperial concubine's rank is second only to that of the Empress's rank.
This year was also a year of heavy bleeding for the emperor.
【Let’s make it up. 】
The emperor secretly paid attention to her little expression: "Pretentious."
"Knowing that you like clothes and jewelry, and like to draw eyebrows and paint your hair, I specially asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to buy you two sets of Shujinchun clothing, two sets of red gold headwear, and the spiral ink that was a tribute from Persia, all of which are given to you."
The emperor looked at her, "How?"
Nian Shilan couldn't help but smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
[As expected of me, that bitch Zhen Huan, how can she compare to me? 】
Look, who is the stingy guy drinking cool water?
Are you always comparing yourself with those rebellious people in your previous life?
The emperor coughed and said, "Your position has already reached the limit. I have already told your two brothers that your father will be given the title of Grand Tutor, the title of First-Class Duke, and the title of Double-Eyed Peacock Feather. Your mother will be given the title of First-Class Imperial Lady."
Nian Shilan's eyes widened and her lips opened.
[Is this true? ]
Of course it is true.
The emperor was truly happy.
No matter how he defended his age, at this moment he was a father.
After two lifetimes, he finally had his own flesh and blood, so of course he was happy.
Moreover, this was not only a reward for her contribution in giving birth to a child, but also to stabilize her two brothers.
When Nian Gengyao heard that his sister was pushed down by Niu Hulu, Shan Yanzhu, he rushed to the palace to find out what happened. Unexpectedly, he met He Ersong at the palace gate.
This reckless man didn't care whether the other party was an official appointed by the imperial court or not, and beat him until his face was bruised and swollen.
He also said that it was He Ersong who fell down.
At that time, Nian Shilan's life or death was uncertain, and He Ersong did not dare to pursue the matter. This matter was a mistake.
Let's wait until He Ersong's son has made meritorious contributions in suppressing the rebellion, and then we will reward and compensate them.
"I congratulate His Majesty and His Majesty."
Nian Shilan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Sun Zhuxi coming in from outside with the empress dowager's reward.
