The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

In Yikun Palace, Cao Qinmo and Lipin brought Wen Yi to pay their respects to Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan has been too quiet recently. She has not caused any trouble in the harem, nor has she summoned herself. Cao Qinmo always feels a little uneasy, so she wants to take Lipin, the brainless one, with her to test Nian Shilan's attitude. After all, although she does not have a high position, she can personally raise Wen Yi, which is what Nian Shilan fought for for her. For this, Cao Qinmo is still grateful to Nian Shilan.

Songzhi saw Cao Qinmo and Wen Yi walking towards the Yikun Palace, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them: "Greetings to Concubine Li, Concubine Cao, and Princess Wen Yi."

Cao Qinmo didn't say anything, but looked at Lipin. Lipin knew how much Nian Shilan valued Songzhi, so she didn't dare to neglect him. She hurriedly asked Songzhi to get up and asked, "We would like to take Princess Wen Yi to pay respects to Concubine Hua. Does Concubine Hua have time?"

"You ladies and princess, please wait a moment. I will go and report right away." Songzhi said with a smile and walked into Nian Shilan's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, please don't lie on the couch." Songzhi was interrupted by Nian Shilan as soon as she spoke.

"Okay Songzhi, please stop bothering me. I'm just lying on the couch for a while with nothing to do, but you keep nagging me. You're almost becoming a female Tang Monk, do you know that?" Nian Shilan pouted and muttered, still flipping through the notebook in her hand to kill time.

Songzhi could sense Nian Shilan's recent indulgence towards her, so she was not intimidated by Nian Shilan's pretended impatience. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li and Concubine Cao have brought Princess Wenyi to pay their respects to you."

When Nian Shilan heard that Cao Qinmo and Wen Yi were coming, she thought of how she had used Wen Yi in her previous life to make her take cassava flour to frame Zhen Huan. She couldn't help but hate herself a little. She could actually harm such a cute little girl. She was such a beast.

Sitting up straight, he told Songzhi, "Tell them to go to the main hall and wait for me. By the way, find some toys for the princess to play with, and ask the small kitchen to make some food for the princess. I will be there soon."

When Songzhi heard Nian Shilan's instructions, she knew that she was happy and hurried downstairs.

When Nian Shilan arrived at the main hall, Lipin and Cao Qinmo had been waiting for a long time holding Wen Yi.

Lipin was drinking tea and eating snacks. Cao Qinmo was holding Wen Yi and playing with a rattle. When they saw Nian Shilan appear, they both stood up and greeted Concubine Hua: "I am bringing Wen Yi to see Her Majesty Hua."

Nian Shilan smiled happily when she saw Wen Yi. She asked Cao Qinmo and the others to stand up, then she took Wen Yi from Cao Qinmo's arms and held him to tease him.

"Wen Yi, I haven't seen Empress Hua recently. Do you miss her?" Nian Shilan looked at Wen Yi with a smile. She really liked him from the bottom of her heart. The little guy had not grown up yet, but his facial features seemed as if they were carefully carved and were very delicate.

Cao Qinmo was a little flattered when she saw Concubine Hua like this. She didn't expect that Nian Shilan would actually like Wen Yi. She was also happy in her heart. After all, if Concubine Hua could continue to protect Wen Yi and let her grow up, then from her current perspective, with the power of her Nian family, Wen Yi would definitely have no worries about food and clothing and enjoy endless glory.

Nian Shilan looked at Cao Qinmo and roughly knew what she was thinking.

Wen Yi was born not long ago. After playing for a while, he felt a little sleepy. Seeing this, Nian Shilan asked Wen Yi's wet nurse to take Wen Yi to the side hall for a rest.

After Wen Yi and the wet nurse left, Nian Shilan sat in the upper seat indifferently, looking at Lipin and Cao Qinmo without saying a word.

Cao Qinmo looked at Nian Shilan now and felt a little strange. In her impression, Concubine Hua was arrogant and domineering, and she had never been so calm.

The atmosphere in the main hall was a little silent. Just as Cao Qin was thinking about how to start the conversation, Concubine Li spoke first.

"You don't know, my lady, that Concubine Shen has been favored by the Emperor since she entered the palace. The Emperor has given Concubine Shen green chrysanthemums all over the palace and changed her residence to Cunju Hall. Everyone in the harem says that she is quite like you when you were favored by the Emperor."

Nian Shilan stared at Lipin intently, her voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm that was barely noticeable, "Oh? Then what do you want me to do?"

Lipin was so stupid that she could not detect anything. She continued to talk to herself, "If you ask me, Your Majesty, you should find a chance to make things difficult for Concubine Shen so that she can know who in the harem is the apple of the Emperor's eye."

Nian Shilan was too lazy to even pretend this time, and directly scolded: "The new concubines who entered the palace can win the emperor's favor, that is their own ability. If I don't even have this little tolerance, then there is no need for me to sit on the throne of the concubine."

Lipin heard that Nian Shilan was angry this time, and she knelt down and said, "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. I am just thinking about you and I am afraid that you will be sad."

Nian Shilan said with disdain: "When did I ever need you to worry about me? Just looking at you makes me feel unlucky. Go back to the palace."

Nian Shilan issued an order to expel the guest, and Concubine Li was too embarrassed to stay here any longer, so she stood up angrily, bowed, and went back to her own palace.

Only Nian Shilan and Cao Qinmo were left in the hall. The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a moment, and after a long time Nian Shilan slowly spoke.

"Your position does not allow you to raise Wen Yi yourself. I pity you for your motherly love, so I asked the emperor to grant you this grace."

When Cao Qinmo heard what Nian Shilan said, she thought she wanted her to do something again, but for Wen Yi's sake, she had no choice but to obey, so she knelt down without hesitation: "I am where I am today, all thanks to Your Majesty. I am willing to follow Your Majesty's lead."

Hua Fei looked at her and smiled: "You don't have to follow my orders. If the Imperial Palace is in trouble one day, just don't add insult to injury."

When Cao Qinmo heard what Concubine Hua said, her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly assured him, "I won't. I will never be that ungrateful person."

Nian Shilan saw that the beating was almost over, so she didn't continue. "Okay, don't try to be clever in my name in the future. Lipin is also stupid. Stay away from her in the future, lest anything happens to the two of you and implicate me. When you have nothing to do, bring Princess Wen Yi to play with me. I think she is quite pleasing to the eye."

When Cao Qinmo heard what Nian Shilan said, she was delighted and immediately agreed.

Nian Shilan waved her hand and told her to go to the side hall to look after Wen Yi. When Wen Yi woke up, she could go back to the palace and there was no need for her to come and say goodbye.

In fact, Nian Shilan was unaware of Lipin's recent little moves in the palace. Seeing that Nian Shilan was more cautious recently and had not made any moves, Lipin thought that Nian Shilan had changed her personality and did not intend to compete for favor, so she thought she had secretly defected to the Queen's side.

Nian Shilan knew it but was too lazy to care. After all, rather than having her be a stupid teammate, it would be more reassuring to let her be his stupid opponent.
