"Aunt, you are joking. I just don't know why you are here. Did something happen to An Changzai?"

Shen Meizhuang quickly stood up from the ground and brushed off the dust on herself.

His eyes were also full of panic.

The two of them had gone out together just now, and when they came back, An Lingrong came back alone.

If something unexpected really happens, it won’t help even if I have mouths all over my body.

Lin Yuanruo shook his head.

"No need to worry, Concubine Shen. It's just that Concubine An doesn't have a decent servant by her side, and Baojuan was also sent to the Ministry of Punishment by the Empress."

"That's why I ordered this servant to send a sensible maid in charge over here."

Only then did Shen Meizhuang breathe a sigh of relief.

But in the blink of an eye, I saw Songzhi standing not far away.

He stammered, "Could this be Miss Songzhi?"

"Of course!" Lin Yuanruo's tone was firm.

From the moment she started talking to Nian Shilan about this matter, she had already thought of this outcome.

"My dear, please continue chatting. I still have some things to do. I'm afraid that the queen will blame me when she wakes up."

"I will leave first."

It's not that there's something unfinished, I just don't want to stand here any longer.

Doesn't this affect their speech?

Songzhi also tactfully retreated to the door.

Shen Meizhuang then spoke: "Sister An, are you still angry with me?"

"How dare my younger sister be angry with my noble sister?"

An Lingrong forced an awkward smile on her face, then turned around and sat on the chair.

With his back to Shen Meizhuang.

Anyone could tell that he was angry, and very angry.

Shen Meizhuang glanced coldly at everyone present, and the servants also walked away tactfully.

Patted An Lingrong on the shoulder.

An Lingrong shifted her body and said, "Sister Mei, why do you have to be so flattering? With my status, I am not worthy of being on good terms with you guys."

"Sister An, I know you've been wronged a lot in this matter, but..."

Shen Meizhuang sighed helplessly and sat down next to An Lingrong.

"I don't know how Huan'er became what she is now. I just remember that she was well-educated and well-mannered. I don't know how she became what she is now."

"I know you feel wronged, just don't ignore me."

After hearing these words, An Lingrong felt more moved.

After all, this matter has nothing to do with Shen Meizhuang.

He slowly turned around and glanced at Shen Meizhuang.

"My dear sister, I know you have been wronged. Am I not following you back here?"

"You didn't say?"

The tone was a little surprised.

Shen Meizhuang shook her head: "I was going to speak, but I don't know where to start."

"Everyone in this deep palace is not easy to mess with. We are here only because of the protection of Concubine Hua and the favor of the Emperor."

"Otherwise, I don't know how many people will be jealous of our favor and will attack us behind our backs."

Instantly, An Lingrong grabbed Shen Meizhuang's hand in panic: "Sister Mei, do you mean that we will be like Concubine Fang?"

"Sister An, you worry too much. This is Yikun Palace."

"Our main queen is Concubine Hua. Even if those people don't give us face, they will at least be considerate of Concubine Hua."

The two people looked at each other and took a deep breath tacitly.

She knew very well in her heart that the reason they were favored today was all because of Nian Shilan.

Dusk hour.

Nian Shilan leaned against the door frame with sleepy eyes.

Looking at her desolate back, Lin Yuanruo's heart ached a lot.

[You really have to wait day and night, can't you find some other fun? 】

Wait?

Nian Shilan looked at Lin Yuanruo in shock, then looked down at her red pajamas.

This look... is simply that of a resentful woman in the deep palace.

"Could she think that I'm waiting for the Emperor? I'm tired of sitting, so I'm standing up to have a rest." Nian Shilan muttered to herself.

But looking at Lin Yuanruo's expression, this is possible.

I had to turn around.

"Has the monthly allowance from the Ministry of Internal Affairs been distributed?"

Lin Yuanruo nodded: "I have already gone to get it, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the Empress has issued an order that the war is tense, and the harem should work with the Emperor to tighten their belts and provide support for the soldiers."

Nian Shilan punched the step angrily.

"The Queen is the most stingy."

"She was so petty when she was in the palace, and she is still like this now that she is the Empress."

"If the money is not spent, how can the people under you be loyal? Who doesn't want to support their family?"

[My girl, you are absolutely right! My boss Zhou Paopi should learn from you and stop exploiting us.]

Zhou Bapi?

Nian Shilan was shocked.

There was more pity in the look of Lin Yuanruo. He could not believe that such a sunny person had suffered such torture.

It seems that I have to treat her well in the future and never do what her boss did and try to skin her alive.

Nian Shilan waved her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. How much money do you have left from the money my brother sent me?"

"Reporting to the queen, there are still more than 5,000 taels of silver left from General Nian's orders."

That's real gold.

If Lin Yuan had so much silver, he would be overjoyed.

How can I still have the energy to fight in the palace? I'm going to retire.

"More than five thousand taels? What use is that?"

"Go now and ask your brother to think of a way to send some more money to the palace."

"If we don't give out this silver, all the people in Yikun Palace will starve to death."

Lin Yuanruo was so moved that he cried.

[My girl, you are so nice! ]

[This is the real master. It is my blessing to follow you. ]

Nian Shilan was almost laughing out loud.

But before he could feel happy for a few moments, he heard Lin Yuanruo mumbling to himself again.

[Zhen Huan is about to rise up, we have to quickly win over others. ]

Is this Zhen Huan really so scary?

He's just a newcomer, is there any need to scare you like this?

However, when it comes to attracting new people, Nian Shilan still has a very proud look on his face.

As for these two in my palace, the future is just around the corner.

"Did Songzhi send back any message?" Nian Shilan fiddled with the jade wheel in her hand.

"In the afternoon, Miss Songzhi came back and told Concubine Shen and Changzai An that they had some private conversations in the house. Most of them were grateful for the protection of the Empress, which is why they are what they are now."

Nian Shilan smiled proudly: "They are two obedient ones. Inform my brother and ask him to help Concubine Shen's father when appropriate. This can also be regarded as asking Concubine Shen to help me in the harem."

Lin Yuanruo seemed to want to say something but stopped.

[Interfering in government affairs is not a good thing. ]

"My lady, this is a matter of the previous dynasty after all..."
