Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

On the next morning, the concubines in the palace got up early to prepare and receive their own enthronement decrees from the minister who delivered the decree. It can be said that some were happy while others were sad, but with Yixiu's help, there were more happy people than sad ones.

Of course, Nian Shilan was not among them. Although she was happy, she was not that happy. It was better to say that she felt a little disappointed. She asked Songzhi, "Why did the emperor only make me a concubine?"

Songzhi thought that whether or not to appoint a noble concubine, Nian Shilan was the first to receive the decree, which clearly showed that she was the person with the highest status in the harem besides the queen mother and the queen, so what else could she be dissatisfied with? However, as Nian Shilan's most loyal lackey, Songzhi naturally rejoiced when Nian Shilan rejoiced and worried when Nian Shilan worried.

"Your Highness, you are the first concubine in the entire palace to be canonized. It can be seen that even Concubine Li, who gave birth to Prince Hongshi, cannot compare to your position in the emperor's heart. As long as the emperor's heart is with you, isn't it only a matter of time before you become a noble concubine?"

What I'm talking about here is an unspoken rule. Everyone is conferred the title of concubine at the same time, so how do we tell who comes first and who comes later? This depends on the emperor's heart. You and I are both concubines, and my title is before yours, which means that I am more favored by the emperor and my status is higher.

When Nian Shilan was a concubine, because Li Jingyan entered the mansion earlier than her, became a concubine earlier than her, and gave birth to Hongshi, Li Concubine always appeared before Nian Concubine's name. Nian Shilan could only watch Li Jingyan sitting in the first seat on the left. How could she not be ashamed? Now, Nian Shilan has finally got what she wanted.

Nian Shilan was so happy that she said disdainfully, "With Li's brain, she thought that she could climb over my head by giving birth to an unintelligent prince. What a wishful thinking! Therefore, in the harem, the emperor's favor is the most important. Otherwise, just like Li, giving birth to a son is just a way to prolong her life."

Songzhi praised him again and again, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Who else can be like you, who has the exclusive favor of the Emperor?"

Nian Shilan, who had made herself happy, said with a proud look, "Tell everyone below to be more careful. Everything that can be brought into the palace is extremely precious, and there can't be any mistakes."

Then, Nian Shilan instructed, "It's very cold at this time of year. When we enter the palace, tell the imperial kitchen to give everyone a bowl of Jiao'er to get rid of the cold. I've asked Jiang Shen to write a list of medicinal ingredients. It's best to wrap them in Jiao'er."

Managing the palace for so many years, even if it was only a part of it, has made Nian Shilan grow a lot. With Nian Gengyao behind her, she has no shortage of gold and silver, so she is not stingy with money to win people's hearts.

Songzhi was also very happy to hear this order. She was Nian Shilan's personal maid, and she would not suffer from lack of food and clothing, cold and cold like the other maids below. Who wouldn't be happy to have a hot meal in such cold weather?

"Your Majesty is so kind. Once we get to the palace, I will do it right away and make sure everyone knows about your kindness."

Li Jingyan's feeling was not as obvious as Nian Shilan's, but she was also a little disappointed. She didn't care about her own position, but a son's status depends on his mother's. Her own position was related to Hongshi's status. How could Li Jingyan not be anxious?

Li Jingyan touched the imperial edict and said sadly, "If Hongshi was reincarnated into Fu Jin's belly, he would not be implicated by me like he is now."

Hongshi heard exactly what was said. He hadn't married or had any children yet, so he didn't have much luggage to move into the palace. After Honghui helped him pack it, Hongshi came to comfort his mother. His mother must have felt bad being overshadowed by Concubine Nian.

Unexpectedly, before entering the house, he heard these words. Hongshi rushed into the house with some excitement, knelt beside Li Jingyan and choked up and said, "How could mother miss her son so much?"

Li Jingyan said in panic, "Mother, no, Hongshi is such a good child, how could mother not like him? It's just that mother is useless and has delayed my son's future."

With Jiang Chen's guidance and Honghui's leadership, Hongshi, although not so smart, is also sensible. "If it weren't for mother, how would my son have the chance to be born? I know mother always feels that she has not been able to help her son, but what I am most grateful for is that I can be your son."

Listening to Hongshi's caring words, Li Jingyan burst into tears. She hugged Hongshi. Hongshi's body was already taller than Li Jingyan, so Li Jingyan could only half hug Hongshi's shoulders with her arms. "Mother, the same thing. The luckiest thing in mother's life is that she can give birth to Hongshi."

Cuiguo beside her couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. The concubine Nian always ridiculed her master for being old and ugly and not being favored by the emperor. But Prince Hongshi was filial and had Prince Honghui to take care of him. Who knows who will enjoy the good life in the future!

Lu Yingfeng was instructing Miao Han, "Once you enter the palace, you will follow your mother to mourn for the late emperor. Have you remembered the rules that Nanny taught you?"

Miao Han said perfunctorily, "I remember it, I remember it."

Lu Yingfeng poked Miao Han's forehead anxiously, "Okay, now that your wings have grown hard, you've started to disobey your mother."

Miao Han quickly hugged Lu Yingfeng's arm and said coquettishly, "No, no. It's just that you, mother, have asked me this question more than ten times since yesterday. My ears are almost callused from hearing it, and my mouth is dry from talking so much."

Lu Yingfeng also knew that her current mentality was not right, but she had no way to control her anxiety. Although she was optimistic about Prince Yong's future when she entered Prince Yong's mansion, no one expected that he would really succeed.

In the past, Lu Yingfeng could raise her daughter with peace of mind, but in the future she will have to deal with the ladies of high rank, and all future concubines will be selected through a formal selection process, so there is no telling what kind of storm this will cause!

Lu Yingfeng didn't care about anything else, but when he saw Nian Shilan, he knew that when the fire broke out in the city gate, the fish in the pond would be affected. No one could tell when he would be targeted. Thinking of this, Lu Yingfeng couldn't help but hugged Miao Han tightly.

Miao Han didn't dare to hug Lu Yingfeng, she quickly protected Lu Yingfeng's belly and reminded her, "Mother, be careful not to press on the brothers and sisters in your belly."

Lu Yingfeng withdrew her hand embarrassedly, touched her bulging belly, and said with emotion, "I never thought that I could still get pregnant at this age."

Miao Han said cleverly, "What do you mean by this age? When my mother and I are together, people think we are sisters! How can my mother be old?"

Lu Yingfeng pretended to rebuke him, "You are such a sweet talker. If I'm not careful, I'll be fooled by you and lose my mind."

Miao Han smiled and leaned on Lu Yingfeng's arm and said, "My daughter's sweet talk depends on the person. You are my mother, so you are treated like this. It's hard for others to hear a good word from me!"

Miao Han's smug look of shaking her head made Lu Yingfeng laugh.
