Chapter 120 The deal is concluded
After the Queen's fall, the Emperor began to yearn for Chun Yuan because of old events.
For several days, the emperor never set foot in the harem again.
He stayed in the Yangxin Palace every day and only went to the Six Palaces occasionally to see his children.
Nian Shilan was in a coma for several days before she woke up, but even after waking up, her temperament had changed a lot.
The emperor went to see her once, but Nian Shilan was cold and ignored him, which made the emperor quite frustrated.
The proud Nian Shilan attempted suicide but failed, but she was unwilling to be hypocritical in front of the emperor.
That day, the emperor looked at the wound on Nian Shilan's forehead and said sadly.
"Shilan, you are blaming me."
Nian Shilan seemed to have lost her soul, "Your Majesty, Shilan is just tired."
The emperor looked at her deeply, instructed the imperial physician to treat Nian Shilan well, then turned and left Yikun Palace.
Although Nian Shilan became cold towards the emperor, her attitude towards other concubines was even worse.
Now Nian Shilan is saying that she doesn't want to live anymore, so don't come and provoke her.
Huimin met her privately once and told her that everything they had agreed on had been done.
At that time, when Nian Shilan heard about her family, the coldness in her body gradually subsided.
"As long as you keep your promise, I will not be ashamed of the Nian family."
Looking at Nian Shilan now, Huimin just feels pity.
"It depends on the emperor's reaction. If you can be a little bit nice to him... making a comeback won't be a problem."
Nian Shilan shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Now that I know the truth, how can I pretend to be nice to him? Now, when I look at him, I just feel sick."
Huimin looked at Nian Shilan and stopped trying to persuade her. She just said:
"Then I will keep an eye on the Ministry of Internal Affairs and make sure they don't miss out on their monthly allowance. We have to make a living in the palace."
Nian Shilan also appreciated it and thanked him awkwardly.
Afterwards, except for Huimin bringing some daily necessities to Nian Shilan, the two never saw each other again.
The emperor has been in low spirits lately, and the harem is also in a gloomy mood.
But soon after, a big happy event came - the first birthday party of the sixth prince Hongqing.
You should know that the emperor dotes on this healthy son very much, and he also attaches great importance to this first birthday banquet.
Moreover, with so many things happening in the palace one after another, it’s time for a happy event to come and go.
Although the banquet was grand, an unexpected situation occurred with the Sixth Prince.
Concubine Lan encouraged Hongqing to grab the objects he liked, but the little prince had a dull look in his eyes and lay there in a daze for a long time, not understanding what Fu Cha Peiyun said at all.
At first, the emperor encouraged his son when he saw him standing still, but as time went on, Hongqing still looked dazed.
After a long while, seeing that Hongqing didn't move, Fu Cha Peiyun couldn't help but went to Hongqing to urge him, but Hongqing turned a deaf ear and ignored his mother.
The emperor gradually became impatient, and Lanpin couldn't help but explain:
"Your Majesty, Hongqing is a little slower in learning to crawl than other children, and he might be a little shy to meet so many clan members at once."
Fu Cha Peiyun was explaining, and at this moment Hong Qing finally moved.
But the child crawled very slowly and was very unskilled. Normally children can crawl between seven and ten months old, but Hongqing was one year old and still could not control his limbs and kicked his feet wildly.
Fortunately, after seeing Hongqing's actions, the emperor felt relieved and stopped urging him.
Seeing Hong Qing crawling to a book as he wished, Fu Cha Peiyun also breathed a sigh of relief.
But no one expected that when the child tried to grab it, his hands would not hold it. After trying several times and failing, Fu Cha Peiyun became anxious.
"Hurry up, Hiroharu."
Hongqing couldn't succeed for a long time and suddenly climbed onto the book and started crying.
All of a sudden, the emperor's face changed color.
Fu Cha Peiyun was also stunned.
Now Huimin and Fucha Peiyun have less and less contact. But I also know that the concubines will train the princes in advance on what to grab during the week-old ceremony.
When Huimin went to the Yanxi Palace before, she saw Fu Cha Peiyun teasing Hongqing with a book.
Hongqing usually has some difficulty catching things, but it’s not to this extent.
The child must be frightened.
For a moment, the atmosphere of the entire birthday banquet became depressed, and no one dared to touch the emperor's tiger whiskers at this time.
This first birthday party started off well but ended abysmally.
The emperor originally wanted to be happy, but Hongqing's condition made him even more unhappy. After returning to the Yangxin Palace, he was unwilling to set foot in the harem again.
Hong Qing, who was originally favored, was also neglected by the emperor.
Although Hongqing was neglected, Hongyao and Shen Meizhuang's eighth prince were more valued by the emperor.
Hongyao is healthier than the Eighth Prince, so he is even more favored by the Emperor.
The emperor came to see Hongyao, and was very pleased to see his son chasing a cloth tiger with great vigor.
To Huimin:
"Our Hongyao is really capable. Look how fast he crawls."
When Huimin saw that the emperor's requirement for his son had changed to the fastest he could crawl, she knew how much of a blow Hongqing's incident had been to him.
But Huimin couldn't refute the emperor's face, so she could only say:
"This kid is full of brute strength. I think it's because he has been with Concubine Chao for so long that he is becoming more and more like Concubine Chao."
When the emperor heard Huimin say this, he also became interested.
"Oh? With the noble lady?"
Huimin was also happy to help Xia Dongchun increase his presence in front of the emperor.
"Yes, Concubine Chao comes to accompany Hongyao whenever she is free. Hongyao is more enthusiastic towards Concubine Chao than towards me."
Huimin did not favor one over the other and did not forget An Lingrong.
"And Lady An often comes to accompany Hongyao and read to him. If it weren't for the two of them, I would be too busy to handle everything."
The emperor found it even more interesting when he heard it. "I am not surprised by Lady An's temper, but this lady of the court? She is not so patient."
Huimin looked at the emperor and thought to herself, don't have a stereotype. The concubines treat you the same way, but they naturally won't let you know all of their personalities.
Besides, you have only been with Xia Dongchun for a short time, and I have only been with her for a short time. I don’t know her better than you.
Huimin just smiled:
"Your Majesty, please don't disbelieve me. Why don't you go ask the noble lady in person? Everything I said is true."
The emperor learned from Huimin that Xia Dongchun was completely different from what he had seen in his own eyes, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
That night, Xia Dongchun's sign was turned over.
But it made everyone in the harem grit their teeth. The nobles in this dynasty usually relied on Concubine Xian, and with Huimin being promoted to concubine, no one dared to provoke her. And because Concubine Xian got the opportunity to sleep with the emperor, she really got all the good things.
But no matter how jealous others are, it's useless. After all, the relationship between him and Concubine Xian is unmatched by others.
If you go to Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Xian won't like you.
I really don't know how Xia Dongchun, who has such a bad temper and a bad personality, could be liked by Concubine Xian.
Everyone knows that Xia Dongchun has moved to Chuxiu Palace, and she wishes the whole world knew that she is Concubine Xian's man.
