Chapter 283: Intercepting Pets 1
Nian Shilan nodded, "Yes, she is a good one."
A few people chatted outside the palace for a while. As a baby's cry was heard from inside the palace, Fu Chaying's personal maid ran out with the baby in her arms, "I congratulate the emperor. Fu Chaying has given birth to a little princess."
Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan, Qi Yuebin, and Zhen Huan also stood up, bowed, and said, "I congratulate the emperor on the birth of the fifth princess."
The emperor nodded, without any joy on his face, "Okay, since Fucha has agreed to give birth to a child safely, and considering her contribution to the offspring, she will be made a concubine from today."
Nian Shilan, Zhen Huan, and Qi Yuebin looked at each other and said in unison, "Congratulations, Sister Fucha."
The emperor glanced at the fifth princess, then said, "I still have government affairs to attend to, so I'll leave first."
After the emperor left, Nian Shilan, Zhen Huan and Qi Yuebin did not stay long and returned to Nian Shilan's Changle Palace together.
Unexpectedly, when Nian Shilan and the other two returned, they saw Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong had been waiting in the main hall of Changle Palace for a long time.
"Oh, you came early." Nian Shilan's voice came from outside the hall. Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong stood up and smiled.
Shen Meizhuang asked first: "Did Fu Cha promise to give birth?"
Nian Shilan nodded, "Yes, a princess was born."
Shen Meizhuang thought about it and sighed, "She is a lucky person."
Nian Shilan smiled noncommittally, then said excitedly: "While you guys are all here, why don't we play some mahjong?"
Seeing that Nian Shilan was in high spirits, Zhen Huan and the others didn't want to refuse her, but Qi Yuebin was indeed a little tired, so she chose to say goodbye and leave. After Qi Yuebin left, Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, and An Lingrong looked at each other and agreed to play with Nian Shilan for a while.
Finally, Zhen Huan couldn't stand it anymore, "Alright, alright, I won't play anymore. If you continue playing, you will take away all the rewards that the emperor gave me a few days ago."
Nian Shilan smiled brightly as she held all the spoils she had won on the table in her arms, "Hahahaha, I'm so happy."
Zhen Huan rolled her eyes at Nian Shilan in annoyance, "You are now the queen, but you are still so obsessed with money. People who don't know the truth might think that the emperor is treating you harshly."
"Oh? How did I treat the Queen so harshly?" The Emperor's voice rang out from outside the door, and everyone in the room was startled.
Nian Shilan was the first to stand up, followed by Zhen Huan and the others, who saluted the emperor and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
The emperor walked into the palace, first helped Nian Shilan up, then glanced at the other concubines and said, "Before I even entered the palace, I heard Concubine Xi say that I was harsh towards the queen. I don't know what's wrong with me?"
Zhen Huan secretly glanced at the emperor's face, knowing that he was deliberately trying to scare her, and then she complained a little aggrievedly: "Your Majesty doesn't care about the Empress. Today, the Empress cheated me of all the jewelry that the emperor gave me a few days ago. I haven't even had the chance to wear many of them."
Upon hearing this, the emperor looked at Nian Shilan in surprise, thinking that Nian Shilan was feeling unhappy because he had rewarded Zhen Huan with some treasures some time ago.
Nian Shilan angrily accused Zhen Huan to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please don't listen to Concubine Xi's nonsense. It was obviously because I was bored that I asked them to play mahjong with me. These rewards were lost to me by them."
The emperor looked at Nian Shilan with amusement when he heard this, "You are in a very good mood today, even playing mahjong."
Nian Shilan said coquettishly: "I am really too bored. There are only a few people in the harem who can barely bear it, so I had to pass it on to them."
The emperor was naturally very happy that Nian Shilan was willing to make friends with them.
Nian Shilan glanced at An Lingrong and said, "Since the emperor has nothing to do today, why don't you all stay and have dinner with him?"
How could Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang not see that Nian Shilan was deliberately leaving An Lingrong a chance, so they declined the offer as the princess and prince were still waiting to have dinner together, and then left first.
Seeing that Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang had left, An Lingrong also stood up to say goodbye, but Nian Shilan was the first to speak: "Sister Rongpin, there must be children waiting for you to have a meal in the palace, right?"
An Lingrong smiled shyly, "Your Majesty, I am joking. I am not. I was just thinking..."
Nian Shilan did not wait for An Lingrong to finish her words and said, "Well, since you don't have any, then stay and have dinner with the emperor and me. It just so happens that I haven't heard you sing for a long time."
The emperor naturally had no objection to Nian Shilan's arrangement. Thinking that he had not visited Rong'er for a while, he said, "Okay, since the queen has said so, you can stay."
After expressing her gratitude, An Lingrong accompanied the emperor and Nian Shilan for dinner.
After dinner, the emperor lived up to everyone's expectations and was bewitched by An Lingrong, and followed her back to the Yanxi Palace.
Nian Shilan was naturally very satisfied with this. Now that the position of concubine in the harem was vacant, it would be better to have An Lingrong instead of letting some clueless bitch take the position.
Within a quarter of an hour, everyone in the harem knew that An Lingrong had asked the emperor to leave Nian Shilan Palace, and for a moment, many concubines were envious and jealous.
However, Concubine Su was thoughtful for a moment in the palace, then she called her personal maid and whispered a few words in her ear.
When Concubine Su's personal maid heard this, her eyes lit up, and then she hesitated and said, "My lady, is this okay? Will the emperor be angry?"
Lady Su didn't care much and said, "It's okay, just do as I say."
At night, An Lingrong and the Emperor had just finished bathing and were about to proceed to the next step when they heard Su Peisheng helplessly say outside the door: "Your Majesty, the eunuch from Concubine Su's palace wants to see you."
The emperor didn't want to pay attention. With the beautiful girl in his arms, he didn't want to see anyone else. However, An Lingrong gently pushed the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you should meet her. What if Sister Su is in trouble?"
The emperor thought about it and decided to call the young eunuch in.
The young eunuch came in and bowed, saying, "Your servant greets His Majesty, and Concubine Rong."
The emperor did not speak, but An Lingrong said gently, "Get up, but what's the matter with your young master?"
The young eunuch kowtowed, and then said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Su is feeling unwell. Please go and see her."
The emperor said with some displeasure: "If she is not feeling well, just call the imperial physician. Why are you coming to see me?"
The eunuch heard the emperor's anger and was a little scared. Thinking of his mistress's instructions, he plucked up his courage and said, "Your Majesty, my mistress has been calling you, and I really have no other choice, so I dared to ask you to come and see my mistress."
