Chapter 39 Chaos in Plum Garden
Of course, she didn't want to ask what Nian Shilan meant, but wanted to know how this situation was handled in the previous life, and what would happen next at Yime Garden.
Nian Shilan was not as greedy as she was in her previous life. She just picked up a piece of fish with her silver chopsticks and her hand stopped in mid-air:
[Has the Queen drunk too much? Didn't you decisively let your wife's brother go with you in your previous life? Why are you asking me now? 】
[If it were me, I would not follow the emperor if he does not allow me to do so. I would just throw him to death and replace him with the next emperor. I would be promoted to the title of Concubine Dowager and my brother would not have to die...]
[Yes, the emperor fell to his death, isn't everything in the harem over? ]
[He fell to his death by himself. It has nothing to do with others.]
Nian Shilan felt delighted, this was a good idea.
The queen felt melancholy after hearing this.
Even though she didn't like the emperor, the empress had to consider the overall situation.
The emperor has just ascended the throne and the court is unstable. The Eighth and Ninth Princes are still powerful, and the Fourteenth Prince, who is favored by the Queen Mother, is also in the imperial mausoleum. If he dies at this time, the throne will definitely not be passed to the emperor's son.
By then, let alone the Empress Dowager and the Concubine Dowager, it is not certain whether these women will survive.
"Your Majesty is not allowed to follow..."
The Queen interrupted Nian Shilan and said, "Seventeenth brother."
She didn't want to follow the development of her previous life, but at the moment there was indeed no one more suitable than Prince Guo.
Su Peisheng followed Prince Guo away.
Zhen Huan sent someone to ask for permission today, saying that she was not feeling well and therefore could not come to the family dinner. The Empress was very curious, how could someone who could not attend the palace banquet go to the Plum Garden to seduce the Emperor?
She thought about it for a while and came up with an idea, "Hua Fei, are you okay?"
Nian Shilan was angry because she let her speak and then interrupted her, so she used the sound of bamboo to cover it up and pretended not to hear.
"The night snow and plum blossoms are very interesting. I am a little drunk. Concubine Hua, please accompany me to sober up."
[Only when the weather is freezing will I not go out. ]
The queen realized that she was being too tactful and said, "Let's go to the Yimei Garden and pick two plum blossoms."
Nian Shilan slowly turned her head to look at the Queen, suspecting that she had heard wrongly.
The queen nodded in affirmation.
If there's something going on, don't watch it.
The two of them left their seats one after another and arrived at the gate of Yime Garden. The empress asked all the attendants to stay outside the gate.
There was no moon on New Year's Eve, and there were few lights in the Plum Garden. The white snow reflected the light, but it did not hinder vision.
Nian Shilan and the Queen entered the garden, and they both lifted their skirts and walked lightly for fear of disturbing anyone.
"...One wish..."
"Over there—"
Nian Shilan pointed at the source of the sound, and the queen immediately covered her mouth, "Bah!"
The two most important masters in the harem were now hunching over and moving stealthily under the flower trees. Nian Shilan first saw the back of a person who was also hiding.
[Yu Ying'er! My goodness, she was hiding here? Where is Zhen Huan? Where is that bitch Zhen Huan? ]
Nian Shilan forgot a very important thing, the small portrait was cut out by Xiao Yunzi.
In other words, without Xiao Yunzi, there would be no Xiaoxiang.
Without Cui Jinxi, no one would have told Zhen Huan that hanging beloved things on high branches on New Year's Eve could bring blessings.
In other words, without these two people, it would be basically impossible for Zhen Huan to go out tonight.
What's more, Kang Luhai and his apprentice did not do their job well. Zhen Huan remembered Shen Meizhuang's reminder and was not very reassured about the servants in the entire Sui Yuxuan.
For the sake of caution, she did not dare to run out rashly. She had dinner early and sat under the lamp reading.
Today, Suiyuxuan is deserted and no one comes out.
But thanks to Sun Miaoqing, the story of Yimeyuan continues to develop as in the previous life.
"…My second wish is to live in peace in the palace for the rest of my life."
When the queen heard the voice, she was afraid that Nian Shilan would speak again, so she covered her mouth again.
But I was suspicious: Why does this voice sound so familiar? It doesn't seem like Zhen Huan.
"Wish!!!"
[A jerk is a jerk! Are you afraid of not getting attention by suddenly raising your voice? ]
"If you understand the meaning of the adverse wind, don't be easily crushed——"
[If you understand the meaning of the adverse wind, you will love your wife's brother! 】
The queen couldn't help but frown:
No wonder there was such a romance on a snowy night, as this was the poem that Rou Ze often recited when she first entered the palace.
Didn't Concubine Hua say that Zhen Huan was the best in the harem? How could she make such a simple mistake?
Cui Daorong's "Plum Blossoms" clearly means that the north wind can understand the meaning, but how can this headwind understand the meaning?
Also, what kind of weird poem did Concubine Hua accept?
I still love Seventeen...
The Queen suddenly thought of something and took a breath of cold air: Could it be that the one who was having an affair with Zhen Huan was Prince Guo?
Not only was Hua Fei's thoughts transmitted, but the Queen also spoke accidentally just now.
"Who? Who's there? Who?"
The emperor's voice was directed in this direction.
Nian Shilan and the Queen squatted down in tacit understanding, trying their best to reduce their presence.
The emperor looked around and saw a glimmer of fire deep in the plum forest, so he walked over there and said, "If you don't say anything, I will have the whole Yimei Garden turned upside down."
[Lao Deng, at this critical moment, you don't call yourself "I" anymore? ]
The queen believed it and said: He did it on purpose!
Sun Miaoqing quickly hid behind the bridge and blew out the lantern.
[Although the snow can reflect things, it is dark at night. Under this light, Zhen Huan can still see the dragon pattern on the emperor's clothes. Is she the Monkey King who has turned into a spirit? ]
Dragon pattern?
The queen tried to take a look at it: Isn't this nonsense?
Even though he had just taken a close look at it at the banquet, it was still difficult to see the tattoos on the emperor's body clearly at this moment.
From her position, it was difficult for her to even see the color of the clothes, let alone the pattern.
"I am a maid from the Yimei Garden. I do not wish to disturb you, Your Majesty. Please forgive me."
[Slut! How dare you lie to the Lord! I will have her dragged out right now and have her beaten with a stick a hundred times!]
Nian Shilan was angry.
The Queen felt that the voice was not right and that this person was most likely not Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan herself didn't know what hadn't happened. Apart from Nian Shilan, there was only -
Sun Miaoqing was also reborn!!!
The queen whispered, "Don't move!"
She felt that she was getting old at this moment, and she couldn't hold back Hua Fei. "You can eat less on weekdays."
Nian Shilan: “…”
[This old woman...does she think I'm fat? ]
Emperor: "Have you ever been to school? What is your name?"
Sun Miaoqing: "I am a lowly servant, and I am afraid that I may offend your ears."
[I am a lowly servant, and I am afraid that I may offend your ears.]
Nian Shilan's thoughts overlapped with Sun Miaoqing's again, but the emperor and Concubine Hua had been married for many years, so they were particularly familiar with her voice.
At this moment, he just wanted to know, in such a beautiful scene, who would recite Wanwan's favorite poem under the red plum blossoms that Wanwan loved?
This is what Concubine Hua was thinking. This scene is really ruining people's interest.
The disadvantages of going out alone became apparent, and the emperor looked around, trying to find Nian Shilan and drive her away.
