Chapter 27 The Emperor Becomes Suspicious
"But the Manchus and Mongols come first. If the emperor favors the daughter of a Han official first, I'm afraid it will hurt the feelings of the old Manchu and Mongolian officials. Moreover, even if he favors a Han official, the Sun family's official position is not the highest."
Concubine Hua once said that Fucha was a fool who was not worth being afraid of.
What the empress wanted to talk about this time was Fucha family, but she didn't expect that after hearing the last sentence, the emperor thought directly of the Shen family.
"You mean... Mr. Shen?"
Compared to Concubine Hua's prediction that Zhen Huan would control the Qing Dynasty in the future, Shen Meizhuang's sin was much smaller.
It was just an affair.
And in the future.
When the emperor heard it for the first time, he was indeed shocked, but when he thought about it later, he realized that he was the emperor, so how could concubines like him dare to have an affair?
Concubine Hua is a person who is quick to believe whatever she hears. She has always intended to use the Shen family to check and balance the Nian family. It is possible that she misunderstood what others said in her previous life.
Even if we take a step back, if this is true, it will be a matter for the future.
He is the emperor. Could he really leave her body to another man?
If any signs of trouble are discovered in the future, the Shen family will be destroyed as well, and then we will see who dares to mess up the harem.
"Let's choose her!"
With a clang, Shen Meizhuang's green card was turned over.
The Queen thought that this was a good thing. At least it made Sun Miaoqing feel that everything was consistent with what she knew in her previous life, so she would not be alerted too early.
Tonight, palace maids in each palace are eagerly awaiting notification from the Jingshifang.
Sun Miaoqing thought about her olive branch. She thought the emperor was a smart man and would definitely choose her.
Luzhu and Hongqiu helped Sun Miaoqing with her clothes and hair.
She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and thought: No matter how beautifully I dress, this is my first time serving the emperor and I will still be stripped naked, wrapped like a dumpling and sent to the Yangxin Palace.
As it got dark, Fengluan Chunen's car had not appeared, and neither had the people from the Jingshifang.
As her expectations were not fulfilled, Sun Miaoqing inevitably felt a little disappointed.
She suddenly remembered what Concubine Hua said: Have you ever experienced the feeling of waiting from dusk to dawn?
"My queen, my queen."
Zhou Ninghai limped in from outside.
Looking flustered and stumbling.
Nian Shilan is playing chess with Songzhi.
Go was still a little difficult for her. She just wanted to kill time and didn't want to use her brain. Besides, Songzhi and the others didn't know Go at all, so the master and servant were playing Gobang.
Easy to use.
Nian Shilan said without even looking up, "It's just that the Emperor summoned Noble Shen to his palace. Is it worth you being so surprised?"
Song Zhi asked curiously in a shrill voice, "How did your Majesty know it was Noble Shen?"
"This palace is very smart!" Nian Shilan raised her eyebrows, very proud. She placed a piece and pointed, "Look, if this is Go, you are defeated by me."
Songzhi said generously: "If your majesty wants to eat, you can eat now."
"Rules are rules. How can you mess with them? It's your turn now."
"I didn't expect that my Concubine Hua would also follow the rules."
The emperor's voice suddenly rang out, startling everyone in the hall.
"Your Majesty?"
Nian Shilan looked at the emperor steadily and said, "Your Highness."
The emperor did not hear her lively inner thoughts and felt a little uncomfortable.
He helped Nian Shilan up with both hands, "What? Are you unhappy that I came to your place?"
These words instantly opened up Nian Shilan's inner chatterbox.
[Huh, aren't you forced to come here every time? ]
[In order to appease the thousands of soldiers and generals on the frontier and to ensure peace and prosperity for the country and the people, I have wronged you. 】
Nian Shilan's inner monologue really sounded like she was speaking with her throat pinched, with a weird tone.
Then he suddenly became fierce again.
【You are not happy to come, so why do you care whether others are happy to see you come? 】
【If you are sick, go see the doctor, don't go crazy here. 】
He doesn't read much, but he's very quick at talking back.
emperor:"……"
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I wish you could come every day, but today is the first night that the new bride sleeps with me. After all, I am an old lady in the palace and I dare not compete with the new bride for favor."
Nian Shilan happily took the emperor's arm and helped him sit down.
Oh, after all, I have lived a second life and have learned to be two-faced.
The change is too big, the emperor: "..."
[On the first night of the bride's service, she turned over Shen Meizhuang's name card, but came to this palace to stir up hatred. ]
[Don't think that I don't know what you are up to. The Nian family is powerful, and you want to use the Shen family to balance them.]
[Why bother with all this? If you are so jealous of my brother, just transfer him back from the northwest.]
When talking about her brother, Nian Shilan's inner voice began to grit its teeth.
[I don't understand. My brother fought for you and guarded the borders, but why did he end up like this? Instead, it's like we brothers and sisters are digging out your heart and liver and eating them raw.]
Nian Shilan took a deep breath inwardly, and the emperor vaguely felt that she was about to hold it in for a long time. His hand holding the child paused for a moment, and he said casually:
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, I came to your place without realizing it."
[You don't tell the truth, I don't believe you! ]
After a pause, she remembered the second half of the sentence: [The old man is very bad! ]
The emperor looked up at Nian Shilan.
The anger in the little eyes was dispelled by helplessness, speechlessness, irritability, and some inappropriate expectations, making it impossible to tell the emotions clearly.
"Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like this?"
Nian Shilan looked shy.
[What are you looking at? You only see vulgar things. I am the most beautiful woman in the world. How can you be so high as to be your match?]
[Go to sleep with your beautiful face! ]
The emperor who ascended to the throne through his nine sons had no tolerance for certain things:
Anyone who threatens his kingdom will have only one outcome:
die!
It seems that knowing such things in the future is a major hidden danger that threatens the country.
Before the palace selection, he went to Yikun Palace for several days in a row. Although he could not get any important information, various signs showed that although Concubine Hua was reborn, she knew very little about the affairs of the court.
Details are even more rare.
Of course, more importantly, she was reborn with the sole purpose of persuading her brother and saving the Nian family.
During these days, if she had ever thought about killing the emperor to avenge the Nian family in her previous life, she would have been gone tonight.
The emperor still believed that Concubine Hua was sincere to him.
If it wasn't intentional, there wouldn't be such a strong resentment now.
Huanhuan's eyebrows are so green...how can she not be jealous?
After all, it was he who let her down for the sake of his kingdom in his previous life. So what if he tolerated her cursing him in his heart?
Things in the world are unpredictable and change rapidly. Even if she is reborn, nothing will be the same as in her previous life.
The emperor firmly believed that he was the Son of Heaven and had the ability to change the affairs of the world.
Sun Miaoqing is the best example.
God allowed him to hear the voices of those who were reborn, and also gave him the ability to prevent himself from repeating the same mistakes as in his previous life.
The emperor took a deep breath and vaguely felt that the fragrance in the palace was wrong, and he became suspicious.
"Your temple smells so good."
Nian Shilan said with joy, "The Huanyi incense that the emperor appreciated is lit every day."
[This is the taste of cutting off your family line and descendants. If you come here a few more times, I will poison you as well. ]
The emperor felt it carefully and asked, "Why does it feel different from before?"
Being different means change, and change means disobedience.
Trusting her and keeping her does not mean that he will give up guarding against her. The emperor was worried that Concubine Hua had unusual thoughts, and his tone changed accordingly.
