Chapter 85 This Situation Is Fraudulent
"I also want to live there for a while, first..."
When Nian Shilan heard the emperor speak, she immediately responded in her mind: [I was in mourning for the late emperor and haven’t been there for two years.]
The emperor was still holding Wen Yi in his arms, and couldn't help but look sideways at Nian Shilan: He used to think she was quick-talking, but now it seems that she has indeed become more restrained.
Concubine Qi blinked her wise eyes and looked at the emperor, "What does Your Majesty want to say? We are all waiting to hear it."
The emperor withdrew his gaze and looked at Concubine Qi: Can't you see that I don't want to talk?
But in front of so many people, if she only said half of it, it would inevitably lead to speculation, so she was very reluctant to say what was in Hua Fei's mind.
As soon as he said this, Concubine Hua started to speak again in her heart:
[It's easy to go to the Old Summer Palace, but the Queen said that there are not many concubines going with her. Which ones does Your Majesty want to go with you? There are many people today, so it's time for me to give the four great masters some difficult questions.]
Nian Shilan was about to speak, but the emperor spoke first:
"It's not difficult to go to the Old Summer Palace, but it's not advisable to have too many people go with you. Concubine Hua is helping to manage the six palaces. Who do you think would be more suitable to go with you?"
Nian Shilan: “…”
She subconsciously looked at Zhen Huan and Sun Miaoqing across from her: [Needless to say, these two bastards should stay in the palace! ]
Zhen Huan: “…” I knew this would be the result.
[Shen Meizhuang went there to fake a pregnancy to win favor and stay in the palace! ]
Hearing about the fake pregnancy to win favor, Shen Meizhuang's eyelids closed a little: She doesn't even want favor now, why would she fake a pregnancy?
His eyes swept over An Lingrong without mentioning her. An Lingrong did not feel ignored, but instead thought:
Those mentioned are not worthy of going, and the Queen wants to take me along.
[Qi Erha and Fu Yibiao are good, they speak without thinking, bringing them along can cause trouble for the four masters. ]
Miao Qing knows to call me "Zhen Silang", so does she have to call herself "Si Da Ye"?
Even calling him Fourth Master is fine.
[Brick Concubine is not bad either. When you are bored, she can teach the four masters how to count brick seams. ]
Why can't I remember what title I was given?
She secretly gave people nicknames!
She must have learned bad things from her second brother Nian Gengyao when she was a girl, and she doesn't look like a lady from a noble family at all.
The emperor felt that there was no need for others to cause trouble. With her around, his own lungs would be blocked.
Concubine Qi had been angry for most of the night because of the emperor's "Pink and Doll You"; she had fallen asleep and forgot most of the matter. After a few days, her anger had completely subsided. Seeing that Nian Shilan did not respond, she sincerely reminded her:
"Hua Fei, the Emperor is talking to you."
Nian Shilan gave Concubine Qi a blunt look.
[How could I not know that the Four Masters are making things difficult for me? ]
[Who is suitable to follow? In my opinion, anyone is suitable to follow, except him! ]
[If he feels hot, then just banish him to the cold palace. It's cool there, and you can catch lice there to eat. Just stay there.]
Seeing that she was going to become the emperor, she banished me to the cold palace.
The emperor concentrated on playing with Wen Yi and pretended to know nothing.
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang's hands, hanging at their sides, were clasped tightly together.
"I have to say, Concubine Hua is quite insightful!"
They both tried hard to look serious, serious enough.
Sun Miaoqing couldn't help but glance at the two of them: They are ladies from prominent families after all. It's just a trip to the Old Summer Palace. Are they so nervous?
She said with inner pride: I went there several times in the past.
It’s a pity that all I can see are ruins. Damn John Bull and Gallic Chicken, how dare they burn our national treasure!
This time I finally can go in and see the original appearance without a ticket.
Sun Miaoqing was planning how to visit the Old Summer Palace when she suddenly heard Xin Changzai reminding her loudly:
"... Concubine Gong is here? Concubine Gong is here? Concubine Hua is asking you a question."
Everyone's eyes turned over.
Sun Miaoqing looked confused and her face became red with anger as everyone was staring at her: Why are they all looking at her?
Could it be that I have done something wrong again?
On the other hand, the Emperor threw the problem to Concubine Hua, and Concubine Hua must have thrown the problem to herself.
"Your Majesty, and Concubine Hua."
Sun Miaoqing squatted down and said sincerely and respectfully: "I am young and ignorant, and it is not my place to speak on this matter, but since Your Majesty has asked, in my humble opinion, the Empress is the head of the Central Palace, Concubine Hua has made contributions in assisting the six palaces, and the birth mothers of the princes and princesses should all go."
"Empress Duan is weak, and it is not suitable for her to recuperate in the palace. It is time for her to pass away."
Sun Miaoqing thought he had explained it comprehensively.
In fact, every word is reasonable and is indeed the emperor's intention.
After hearing this, Concubine Qi praised her in public, saying that she had learned some skills from Concubine Hua and her words were very convincing.
But she forgot that she was just a regular.
Even if it was the emperor's wish, with high-ranking concubines like Concubine Hua, Concubine Qi, Concubine Jing and Concubine Li around, how could it be the turn of a mere maid like her to speak up?
When the emperor first heard her say "young", he thought she was finally smart for once. He knew that this was Shilan's deliberate embarrassment and he easily brushed it off. He didn't expect that she actually dared to say it.
Not only does he dare to speak, but he also keeps talking.
It’s better not to say anything, but it’s more wrong to say more.
Nian Shilan's eyes were full of innocence, and she said, "Then according to my sister, Lipin, Jingpin, Fucha Guiren, Chun Changzai, Shen Guiren, Wan Changzai, and An Da agreed that they should stay in the palace, right?"
Jingpin used to not care whether to go to the Old Summer Palace or not, but now, Huafei is not like before, who would torture her so easily. If she goes, wouldn't it be more fun to follow her around than counting bricks?
Hmm? Wait...a number of bricks?
Brick Concubine?
Concubine Hua... Concubine Jing looked at Concubine Hua silently: I heard her talk so much about Concubine Bian, but I didn't expect that Concubine Bian turned out to be myself.
Jingpin pursed her lips: "..."
Concubine Li had a straightforward personality. If the emperor had not been present, she would have scolded him on the spot. But at this moment, her eyes turned into knives and shot towards Sun Miaoqing.
Sun Miaoqing felt a chill down her spine when she heard Concubine Hua's name-calling question. She realized that she was openly making enemies and drawing hatred towards her.
No, in the script, the emperor did not bring Fucha Guiren, Chun Changzai and An Xiaoniao with him.
It is said that not only would this blatantly offend the noble lady Fu Cha, with whom he had just made friends, the emperor had definitely wanted to take Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang with him, and the emperor had specifically named Jingpin to be taken along.
Sun Miaoqing looked at the emperor in embarrassment, "My concubine..."
Do you understand the difficulty now?
When the emperor glanced at her, he couldn't hide the anger in his eyes.
No wonder I didn't keep her in my previous life. It's really not easy to fight against fate.
"It's rare to leave the palace, so you two can go together."
The emperor always has to cover for Sun Miaoqing.
"The sisters present here can go together, and the rest can stay in the palace."
[In my previous life, the old lady who was the empress tried to let me stay to look after the house. This time, I must let her stay! ]
The emperor then understood that Concubine Hua and the Empress had an irreconcilable feud in this life because of their past life. However, Sun Miaoqing was stupid and dull, but he was right about one thing he said: The Empress is the master of the six palaces.
It is not in accordance with the rules to let the queen stay in the palace.
He simply gave clear instructions and all the concubines were to go together.
Who knows, maybe it was someone's help, but An Lingrong, Chun Changzai, and Fu Cha Guiren, who did not accompany him in the previous life, were also brought along this time.
On that day, a huge procession set out from the imperial palace and headed for the Old Summer Palace.
The rules outside the palace are different from those inside. Zhen Huan learned that several princes had also gone there.
Opportunities are rare.
Zhen Huan's feelings towards Huanbi at this time were still somewhat complicated. She felt that Huanbi was more like a maid than a sister, otherwise in her previous life she would not have waited until she betrayed her before trying to win her back.
But there is no way now, her father's mistake has been made, there is no male in the Zhen family, and she is the eldest daughter. Even if others think that she is not worthy, she must shoulder the family responsibility.
Sisters joining forces is the only way forward.
Among all the princes, Prince Seventeen was the best choice in terms of age, character and appearance. Besides, the relationship she had with him in her previous life, which she didn't know why, must have ended in failure.
If you know that you can't produce sweet fruits, why bother to bloom attractive flowers?
It would be better to give it to Huanbi.
If it is true love, living happily ever after in different places is also an explanation to each other.
If it is not true love, there is no need to be sad and regretful.
I have only heard that the Seventeenth Prince is good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If I want to get close to this prince, status and position are one thing, and knowledge and understanding are another.
There has to be a chance for you to be together only if you can talk to each other.
It's not like one person says that life is as fragile as a paper flutter, while the other says that the kite is really beautiful.
On the way, she found an opportunity to let Liuzhu and Huanbi get into the carriage as well. She used the excuse of being bored and taught the two maids how to read and write in front of Fangruo.
As the head of all the concubines, Nian Shilan naturally had her own carriage, but the emperor was so kind as to allow her to ride in the same carriage with him.
With her outspoken personality, she didn't show any courtesy to the emperor at all, but just as she was about to step on the pedal, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
【It's a fraud! 】
