Traveling through the Legend of Zhen Huan: My Queen, please love me!
Chapter 63: Concubine Hua Falls from Favor
"Fraudulent accusation, Nianpin, tell me, which of these pieces of evidence are untrue, which ones cannot stand up to scrutiny?"
Nian Shilan clutched Yinzhen's trouser legs tightly, her tears soaking Yinzhen's socks, and she cried, "But these are clearly in the Yikun Palace. I didn't bring them with me!"
Yinzhen was speechless. He pressed his temple with one hand, sighed deeply, and said:
"Whether you brought it here or not, you've already made a mistake! Zhou Ninghai has already confessed, so you should just reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors.
Come, take Concubine Nian to a quiet place and let her calm down. Her crying is making me upset."
Nian Shishao stood up, helped Nian Shilan up, looked at Yinzhen and asked, "Your Majesty, do you remember? My sister once told you, brother, I want to marry Prince Yong. Can you be my matchmaker?"
Nian Shishao has been a noble lady in the capital since she was born.
She has never shed tears since she was old enough to understand. She is carefree and unrestrained, galloping on her horse.
Unafraid of the so-called female virtues and teachings of the world, today, she stared at Yinzhen and said again: "But my brother refused, saying that you have already married two wives.
But my sister said - if I could marry him, being a concubine wouldn't be bad either!"
Yinzhen's eyes showed a trace of sorrow, but he recalled what he had said to the Queen Mother: "My son and Shilan have been husband and wife for many years.
There is always a favor to be done, and I have done many things that I cannot do for her. If she can control her temper in the future, I can give her a noble man."
Liu Hua felt that she was extremely ridiculous at the moment. She had been in this world for twenty years, and today she was actually examining Yinzhen.
"Nian Gengyao was a meritorious official who pacified the northwest for the Qing Dynasty and achieved remarkable military success.
Musk deer are only found in the Great Snow Mountains of Northwest China. They are extremely precious and their medicinal properties are more than 10 times that of ordinary musk.
Once musk deer were brought as tribute, most of it was used to make Huanyi incense. Nian Gengyao's incense pierced Nian Shilan's true heart, which was wrapped in jealousy.
Liu Hua felt sad at this moment. It was not that she forgot the love she had shown him.
But she also did not forget Yinzhen's favor for Zhen Huan, who was like Wanwan to her.
She also guessed that Yinzhen's favor for Chunyuan was a yearning for pure and unselfish love.
Or it could be love at first sight for beauty.
Yixiu said impatiently, "Jiang Fuhai still won't let anyone take Concubine Nian away."
On this day, night had not yet fallen.
Liu Hua and An Lingrong did not fulfill their agreement last night to feed the wild ducks.
But Liu Hua felt that it was over and this day was meaningless.
Under the locust tree, An Lingrong supported Liu Hua worriedly.
The breeze blew through the locust flowers in May and landed on Liu Hua's hair.
White petals are dotted on gold and silver ornaments. These locust flowers are about to end their blooming period, but more and more petals are still falling.
The white color seemed to blur Liu Hua's eyes, bringing endless darkness.
But An Lingrong took out a handkerchief and blocked Liu Hua's face.
It turns out that this handkerchief made of soft silk can protect you from the falling locust flowers.
An Lingrong consoled her, "Sister, you know the petals are blinding, so why should we go this way? We can just take another route."
This sentence made Liu Hua suddenly enlightened. "Yes, I have never loved Yinzhen, and I have never been deceived by his sincerity. How could I end up like this?"
Liu Hua regained his confidence and muttered to himself, "Going to work is like going to a grave.
Yinzhen won’t live long. It’s easy to outlive him.”
In front of An Lingrong, Liu Hua counted on his fingers, "I'm 20 years old this year, two months short. I've been in the palace for two years, which means I still have eight years to go."
The summer breeze died down. An Lingrong put away her handkerchief, looked at Liu Hua and said with a smile, "Yes, sister, you are not sad now. Why worry about the emperor?"
Dongli next to him coughed violently.
An Lingrong's eyes darkened as she added, "The Emperor is a sage and a gentleman. All we need to do is serve him well. Don't be like Concubine Hua...Nian, and cause the Emperor trouble."
Liu Hua looked at Xiao Yunzi and ordered, "Go and tell the people in the Imperial Household Department to behave themselves. Don't listen to anyone and trample on Concubine Nian."
After all, General Nian is still fighting. Even if the battle is won, we still don’t know what the future direction will be.”
Xiao Yunzi quickly replied, "Oh, my lady, how can I say this?
The Empress Hua has been rewarding us servants year after year, so why would anyone want to make things difficult for her?
Liu Hua continued to inquire, "Has the head of the Imperial Household Department, Huang Guiquan, been replaced?"
Xiao Yunzi knew that her queen had a harmonious relationship with Concubine Hua, unlike the other concubines in the palace.
He said cautiously, "Indeed, he has been replaced. The one who was replaced is Eunuch Jiang Zhongmin, who was personally appointed by the Queen Mother."
"Then remind him later that the monthly payment should be as it should be. No less than the required amount!"
An Lingrong helped Liu Hua steady herself and said with a smile, "Sister, there's a pond over there.
You said you would accompany me to feed the ducks. Now you won't accompany me because of Concubine Nian's matter?"
Liu Hua quickly rejected it. An Lingrong chuckled unconsciously when she saw Liu Hua's anxious explanation.
The fragrance of An Lingrong mixed with the scent of locust flowers carried along with the wisps of wind that had just risen.
It floated into Liu Hua's nose, making him a little fascinated.
【Humble Residence】
Songzhi was carefully treating Nian Shilan's leg wound with a plaster and said dissatisfiedly, "These people in the Imperial Household Department are too snobbish. They moved our queen to this place."
"Alright, Songzhi. Apply more to help my wound heal faster."
Songzhi said distressedly, "But this medicine hurts when I apply it."
Nian Shilan wiped her tears and said disdainfully, "No matter how painful it is, it won't be as painful as it was at noon.
If my legs were disfigured, the Emperor would be even less likely to come and see me."
Songzhi had tears in her eyes. She had followed Nian Shilan since she was a child and changed her name after entering the palace.
Some people say her name is Zhilan Yushu, but Songzhi hopes to give her mistress a child.
But "song" means to congratulate in advance. Zhilan Yushu, which mother or father does not want their son to have such virtues?
But the congratulations were given too early, and it didn't work. In the end, the baby boy was miscarried.
Nian Shishao also looked at her sister worriedly and said comfortingly, "I think we should make plans early. I will leave the palace soon and go back home to tell my sister-in-law.
Let my sister-in-law go find my brother first. Preserving our strength is the most important thing. As long as the Nian family preserves their strength, my sister will never be bullied like this in the palace."
"If all else fails, try to escape. Just like Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, go out to sea."
Nian Shilan endured the pain in her knees and asked Nian Shishao with a dull look in her eyes: "Shishao, do you think I'm old?"
Nian Shishao smiled bitterly and said comfortingly: "Sister, you are so beautiful! Even the eight banners of Manchuria and Mongolia put together are not as good as a single hair of yours."
Nian Shilan didn't care about the tearing of the wound. She leaned over to hug Nian Shishao and asked with hope in her eyes, "Do you think the emperor still loves me? Who does he love more, Wanpin or me?"
Nian Shilan has subconsciously assumed that Yinzhen has fallen in love with Zhen Huan, but she is now carefully comparing how much he loves her.
Not two years ago,
"The Emperor only favors me."
Nian Shilan never competed for favor, she competed for Yinzhen's love.
