Chapter 190 3th Brother
The next morning, Qi Yuebin woke up at daybreak. He glanced sideways at Nian Shilan, who was still sleeping beside him. Her black hair, like a waterfall, was scattered casually on the pillow, and she looked rather pitiful.
She got out of bed quietly, walked to the outer room, whispered a few words to Songzhi, and then quietly returned to Xinghuachun Pavilion.
However, just as Qi Yuebin stepped out of the room, Nian Shilan, who was originally sleeping soundly, slowly opened her eyes.
When Songzhi saw her mistress waking up, she hurried forward to help her up and carefully helped her change clothes and wash up. After everything was ready, the palace maids began to dress Nian Shilan.
After carefully dressing up, Nian Shilan's pale face finally showed some color, and she looked much more energetic. She raised her hand slightly, supported Songzhi's arm, and slowly walked to the dining table and sat down.
Songzhi poured a bowl of steaming hot porridge and handed it to Nian Shilan respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, when Concubine Duan left just now, she specifically told me that if you still refuse to eat, I will ask her to come again."
Nian Shilan smiled, picked up the spoon and took two sips: "Songzhi, you should leave the palace! I will talk to my brother and ask him to help you find a good marriage. From now on, you can live a stable and down-to-earth life."
Hearing this, Songzhi fell to her knees with a thud and cried out in a sobbing voice, "My Lady, don't you want me anymore?"
Nian Shilan felt a pang of grief in her heart, and she suppressed her grief and said, "Get up! It's not that I don't want you, but look at my current body, I'm afraid..."
After hearing this, Songzhi cried even harder!
"Your Majesty, you will definitely get better. I will go to the Imperial Hospital and find a new imperial physician!"
Nian Shilan shook her head helplessly: "Alas! No matter how good the imperial physician is, he can cure the disease but not the heart!"
Songzhi stood there stunned upon hearing this. After a moment of contemplation, her eyes grew resolute. She looked at Nian Shilan and said firmly, "My lady, I have been by your side ever since I can remember. To me, you are the only family I have in this world. No matter where you go, I will follow you closely and never leave you!"
After hearing these words, Nian Shilan was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't help but stroke Songzhi's head and murmured to herself, "What a silly girl!"
"What kind of lady teaches what kind of servant!"
Nian Shilan was amused by this: "Haha, why didn't I realize before that you are so sharp-tongued!"
After finishing breakfast, Nian Shilan felt a little stronger and said, "Songzhi, come for a walk with me!"
The master and servant walked slowly along the back lake. The breeze blew on their faces, and Nian Shilan felt a lot lighter.
After walking around for a while, I felt a little tired, so I decided to go to the pavilion to rest.
As soon as I got closer, I saw someone in the pavilion. It was Concubine Qi and the Third Prince.
"Greetings to Concubine Hua!"
The Third Prince had grown into a handsome twelve-year-old boy. He stood tall and straight beside Concubine Qi and bowed to her politely.
Nian Shilan looked indifferent and responded softly with "hmm". Then she raised her arm slightly, held Songzhi's hand, and sat on the stone pier beside her.
When she saw Concubine Hua, Concubine Qi subconsciously wanted to stand up, but then she remembered that Nian Gengyao no longer had his position and Concubine Hua was not as favored as before. After hesitating for a moment, she still sat upright on the chair without bowing or greeting, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Nian Shilan glanced at Concubine Qi, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of sneer, but he did not say anything, and slowly drank a cup of tea.
If you don’t want to greet me, then don’t greet me. What are you afraid of?
Seeing her expression, Concubine Qi felt a little uneasy and had to find a topic to talk about: "I heard that my sister is not feeling well?"
Facing Concubine Qi's question, Nian Shilan remained silent, her hands never pausing as she continued to leisurely savor the fragrant cup of tea. Palace fighting and the like no longer mattered; all she wanted to do was rest for a while and then stroll around the garden.
Seeing that the person in front of her remained silent, Concubine Qi's heart became even more anxious. She could only keep talking to cover up her panic: "If my sister is not feeling well, she should rest well in the palace. Why is she walking around outside? What if she spreads this illness to others?"
"Idiot!" Nian Shilan finished a cup of tea before uttering these two words lightly.
Concubine Qi was stunned for a moment before she realized that Concubine Hua was scolding her. She immediately became angry and stood up and said, "You scolded me? I was kind enough to ask about your health, and you are so ungrateful!"
Nian Shilan sneered disdainfully, raised her chin, glanced at Concubine Qi and said, "Hmph, just you? Do I need your concern? If you really have the leisure time, you might as well spend more time on your son's schoolwork instead of embarrassing yourself here all day!"
Seeing her look down on him so much, especially in front of his own son, he felt ashamed and angry, even speaking without thinking: "Do you really think you're the Noble Consort Hua who was once the most favored concubine in the six palaces? I heard that Nian Gengyao was dismissed by the Emperor! It may not be long before there is an imperial decree to punish your entire family! Let's see how arrogant you can be then!"
"Snapped……"
After a crisp sound, Concubine Qi staggered, and several bright red fingerprints immediately appeared on her face.
Nian Shilan shook her aching hands and regretted not wearing armor today.
"You dare to hit me?" Concubine Qi looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.
"I'll hit you if you want to. Do we need to tell you the time?"
"I'm going to tell the Queen!"
"Go quickly, go quickly."
After saying this, Nian Shilan took Songzhi's hand and left slowly.
Concubine Qi covered her face, but she couldn't hide the resentment on her face.
In the Louyue Kaiyun Pavilion, the Queen sat on the Phoenix Throne and looked at the people below crying bitterly, and waves of annoyance welled up in her heart.
"Okay, stop crying!"
Only then did Concubine Qi stop crying and looked at the queen with tears in her eyes.
"She hasn't been feeling well lately. Why did you bother her? And you even had to ask the Nian family to talk about it. Of course she'd be angry!"
"Your Majesty, she was the one who insulted me first." Concubine Qi defended herself.
The Queen said helplessly: "So what?"
"Your Majesty, she hit me, so of course Your Majesty must punish her!"
"She caused Xia Dongchun to have a miscarriage, but the Emperor didn't punish her. Will the Emperor punish her for such a small thing as yours?"
"My lady..."
"Alright, alright, if you're still angry, just figure it out yourself. My head hurts a bit, so go down!"
After Concubine Qi left, Songzhi hurried forward and gently pressed the Queen's temples.
"What Hua Fei said is absolutely right, stupid."
The queen held her head and thought about recent events.
She originally thought that Nian Gengyao's arrogance and contempt for others had already annoyed the emperor, and it was only a matter of time before he took action against him. As long as Nian Gengyao fell, Hua Fei would naturally be liquidated. Unexpectedly, Nian Gengyao seemed to have suddenly come to his senses. A series of actions made the emperor gradually let go of his suspicions and helped the emperor solve major problems, which made the emperor very happy. Now, all the officials in the court, seeing the emperor's attitude, no longer submitted memorials to impeach Nian Gengyao, and all turned their firepower on Prince Dun.
If we let them turn over this time, it will be even more difficult to deal with them in the future.
On the other side, Concubine Qi came out of Louyue Kaiyun Pavilion. The Third Prince was waiting at the door. Looking at his mother's red eyes, he sensibly took a handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Mother, don't cry. Your son will work hard in the future!"
Hearing her son's words, Concubine Qi wept even more joyfully, "Son, you are my only hope!"
"Don't worry, mother, your son won't let you down!"
