Chapter 41 This question will be
"Have all the sisters heard about this?"
These days the Empress has been accompanying the Emperor in entertaining guests and receiving ladies of high rank, so the Empress Dowager has been excused from paying respects to him.
After meeting the Empress, there were always some ladies from other royal families who wanted to come to the Yikun Palace to pay their respects.
Nian Shilan was afraid that the suspicious emperor would get to know about it and would become suspicious, thinking that she was making friends and adding to the Nian family's book of hatred, so she rejected them all.
It’s just that it’s not good to disappear all the people in the inner palace.
Concubine Li is too stupid and Cao Qinmo is too cunning. It is impossible to have close ties with these two people.
Especially Cao Qinmo, she betrayed herself in her previous life.
Nian Shilan recalled the subtitles that flew by, in which a large number of people were blaming her, saying that it was because they had harmed Wen Yi and treated her harshly that she betrayed them.
It is true that she was blinded by greed and it was wrong to drug a child in order to win the old man, but Cao Qinmo was a rebellious person. She was born ambitious and unwilling to be inferior to others.
Even if there hadn't been the Wen Yi cassava flour incident, seeing the Nian family fall, she would not have followed me obediently.
And if the Nian family remained strong, she would not dare to act recklessly even if the Wen Yi incident happened.
Yes, she is quite smart, but it is ultimately limited by her background, her vision and perspective, so as soon as she nods, she forgets who she is.
In the end, he was easily sent away with a bowl of medicine from the emperor.
After Nian Shilan was reborn, she also thought about killing her to avenge her betrayal in her previous life, but she was the princess's biological mother after all. With her intelligence, she might come up with some sinister tricks before her death.
Injuring the enemy by 1,000 and losing yourself by 800 is still a small matter, but it will cause losses to the Nian family.
Everything will have to wait until the Nian family has retreated safely.
Although she rarely saw these two people, she would not hand this person over to Yu Sun Miaoqing, so there was no enmity between them.
During the New Year, Lipin and Cao Qinmo would naturally come.
Needless to say, Shen Meizhuang came to Yikun Palace every now and then before the New Year, so it is natural that she is here now too.
An Lingrong usually doesn't dare to come, but taking advantage of this rare opportunity, she had to come along.
In her previous life, Concubine Xin had been quite dissatisfied with Concubine Hua because she was prevented from sleeping with her several times. In this life, Concubine Hua did not take any action, so she naturally did not hold a grudge.
Although Jingpin was not as curious as Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong, she would not miss the chance to listen to someone's true feelings.
Since everyone is here, it is not easy for her to stand out.
But Sun Miaoqing didn't come, not because she was trying to be special.
It was because she was injured in the fall in Yimeiyuan, and she was recuperating in her own palace, and even her green card was removed.
The snacks in the Yikun Palace were delicious and the tea had no moldy smell. The concubines gathered here every day and it was even more lively than in the empress's palace.
Nian Shilan sat upright in a high position, leaning back and said:
"Xin Chang thought that she was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. Since she heard something interesting, why not tell it to the sisters so that they can relax." ×l
Xin Changzai leaned forward and said, "To answer your Majesty's question, the palace is celebrating the festival together. The emperor has given Yimei Garden a couplet, saying that no matter whether it is a palace maid or a eunuch, as long as they can match it, they will be rewarded greatly."
The old man knew everything and laughed at the same time.
The newcomer didn't understand, and Fu Chagui asked curiously, "I don't know what couplet it is?"
"It doesn't matter what the couplet is." Cao Qinmo joked, "What matters is that someone is blessed."
"You..." Xin Changzai pinched the handkerchief and threw it at her, "The emperor's first couplet is 'Going against the wind is like understanding'."
Fu Cha Guiren frowned and asked, "What kind of couplet is this?"
Shen Meizhuang also began to suspect something. She looked at Nian Shilan and said deliberately, "Yes, isn't this a poem?"
【If you understand the meaning of the adverse situation, you can earn 100 million in one day. 】
Shen Meizhuang: "..."
[Mrs. Miaoyin is about to appear, and there is a new excitement in the palace. ]
Nian Shilan said nothing, as scenes of Yu Ying'er's past life flashed through her mind.
An Lingrong was little educated, and she glanced around, not daring to show her shyness. She only regretted that the Yikun Palace was too big, and that she, sitting at the back, could not hear what Concubine Hua was thinking.
Lipin never hesitated when speaking. "It doesn't matter whether it is a couplet or not. I just want to know, what will happen if the eunuch really matches it?"
After she finished speaking, everyone who understood laughed along.
Xin often speaks quickly and cannot keep a secret. "Don't mention it, you sisters really got it right."
After hearing this, everyone became more interested and asked:
"What do you mean?"
"Hurry up and tell me."
Xin Changzai: "Six of the eight eunuchs answered correctly, and five of the six palace maids answered correctly."
This answer really surprised Nian Shilan.
"What did you say?"
"To answer your Majesty's question, there are so many people in Yimei Garden, and eleven of them answered it correctly." Xin Chang gestured with her two index fingers, "Yimei Garden is truly a place of talent."
"What should I do?"
"You can't give titles to all those eunuchs, right?"
"We are all human beings, why can't the father-in-law be sealed?"
"That's right~ We agreed that it would be the same for both palace maids and eunuchs, why are you discriminating now?"
Everyone was talking at once, one person saying something at a time, and the chatter was just to amuse each other.
[Wasn't it only Yu Ying'er who answered the question in the previous life? How come so many people know it in this life? ]
Nian Shilan pondered, [Besides the Emperor and Prince Guo, the only person who knew about the incident at Yimei Garden on New Year's Eve was Zhen Huan.]
This matter is actually related to Huan'er?
When Shen Meizhuang heard what was going on in her mind, she couldn't help but lean towards the room, wishing she could put her ears close to Concubine Hua.
[It is impossible for these people to "leak" the questions in advance. ]
【Could it be Sun Miaoqing? 】
【Queen! 】
Lipin couldn't help asking, "What happened next?"
"I don't know about this."
Xin Changzai also looked regretful, "I just saw Eunuch Su taking a group of people to Yangxin Palace on the way here, and I just found out after asking a few questions."
That means there is no result yet.
Nian Shilan found the scene ridiculous.
[A Yuying'er, and she can be asked to serve tea. There are a group of "Yuying'er", both male and female. Su Peisheng's job is not easy. ]
However, the empress could only "leak the secret" but could not tell everything that happened that night. Otherwise, if the emperor was really upset and investigated further, no one would suffer the consequences.
[Everyone in Yimei Garden can recite poetry, but not everyone can sing Kunqu opera. Cui Daorong's poetry is just a door knocker. What really pleases Yu Ying'er is her good voice.]
[She is also quite clever.]
Nian Shilan estimated that the outcome would not be any different.
But she still wanted to know what the situation was in Yangxin Palace?
