Zhen Huan is still in love, and her sister's goal is to become the queen mother

Chapter 252: Shilan's Concern

Huimin had noticed that Nian Shilan was in a bad mood during the Mulan hunt, but when Huimin went to find her after they came back, Nian Shilan didn't seem to be abnormal.

Huimin originally wanted to find a time to have a good talk, but she didn't expect so many things to happen later, which kept Huimin very busy.

After the turmoil with the Fourth Prince was over, the Emperor conferred upon me the title of Imperial Noble Consort, and I had to be even more careful with my words and actions, so things got delayed.

Only now did Huimin finally have time to think about this matter carefully.

What is Nian Shilan’s mentality now?

What does she want now?

People change. Before, Nian Shilan hated the emperor so much and tried passively to win his favor, but now she may have other considerations.

Huimin always pays attention to the psychology of each ally.

A qualified helmsman must have a firm grasp on all branches in his own hands in order to coordinate the overall situation.

Huimin also investigated Nian Shilan for a long time, and there was nothing unusual in the informant's report. After weighing the pros and cons, Huimin decided to go there in person.

Some things have to be discussed face to face.

Seeing Huimin coming, Songzhi was very attentive, serving her tea and pastries, with a smile on her face full of joy and flattery.

"The queen is here, and our young master also has someone to talk to."

Nian Shilan herself was no different from before.

"Congratulations, Royal Concubine."

She raised her phoenix eyes, and her expression was particularly complicated when she said these words of congratulations.

At that time, she had received the auspicious clothes of the Imperial Noble Consort and was so happy that she thought she would be conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort by the Emperor. Unexpectedly, she was only consort in the end.

Back then, I was dazzled by the prosperity before my eyes. I was favored, the Nian family was powerful, and my brother was so majestic.

But this was just a deliberate trick by the emperor, it was all fake, poor me, I was just dreaming foolishly.

I dreamed that the emperor and I were deeply in love with each other.

When he finally woke up, he found himself in prison, but he was unaware of it.

He only cared about his own ridiculous love, but was plotted against by the person next to him all his life.

Looking at the woman in front of him and remembering that she had once helped the Nian family, Nian Shilan hesitated for a moment but still wanted to remind her.

Don't fall into this false love, it will only make people lose their minds.

But when Shilan saw Huimin's eyes clearly, she was stunned. She was very sober, her eyes were clear, and her expression was calm. No one was calmer than her.

Nian Shilan didn’t know how she could do this despite the emperor’s favoritism.

The emperor conferred upon her the title of Imperial Noble Consort.

No matter how you look at it, it's going to make you ecstatic.

Status, power, love...

The position of Imperial Noble Consort has a meaning.

But she was so calm.

The calmness is intimidating and puzzling.

Suddenly, Nian Shilan couldn't say anything.

But Huimin looked at Nian Shilan and spoke first.

"I've been busy lately, so I haven't come to see you as much."

As she spoke, Huimin sat down and tasted the tea that Songzhi served.

Huimin smiled at Songzhi and said, "Miss Songzhi's cooking skills have improved."

Songzhi smiled happily.

"As long as your Majesty likes it."

Huimin nodded, "Of course."

Seeing Huimin's natural look, Nian Shilan couldn't help but ask:

"You are now the Imperial Consort, how come nothing has changed?"

As he spoke, Nian Shilan frowned.

"Sometimes, I feel like you are too much of a fake person. You are so calm in everything you do."

When Huimin saw Nian Shilan's lively expression, her expression changed and she instantly became lively.

"It's not that I'm naturally emotionless, it's that the palace needs me to be like this," Huimin said jokingly, "But I envy Concubine Hua's temperament back then. She was resolute and straightforward. It's naturally good to be able to live freely and unrestrainedly."

Seeing Huimin say this, Nian Shilan rolled her eyes and poked her forehead with her finger.

"You are probably laughing at me. If you are like me back then, you will be in big trouble."

After chatting for a while, the two of them felt much more relaxed.

In recent years, Shilan and Huimin have formed an alliance and their relationship has improved a lot.

It's okay to laugh and joke occasionally.

"A fire is boiling, and flowers are blooming. You better be careful."

Nian Shilan still reminded.

This was the biggest fall she had ever suffered. It cost her brother her life, caused the Nian family to fall, and she herself was shattered to pieces.

Huimin saw it clearly, "Don't worry, I know it all. Feelings are the most unreliable thing."

Moreover, Huimin thought to herself that she had never believed in the emperor's feelings, nor did she have any feelings.

It's all just a show and a pretense of flattery.

Whoever takes it seriously loses.

"How come you stumbled a few months ago? This is not your style."

"I thought you would compete with Ye Lanyi and the others."

Huimin probed gently in a joking tone.

But I already had a guess in my mind.

Nian Shilan hesitated and looked at Songzhi.

"Go and guard outside."

Songzhi understood and left.

Nian Shilan looked at Huimin, still hesitant. She had always been proud, and it would be awkward for her to tell this matter out loud.

Huimin looked at her expression and her guess was confirmed to about 70%.

"Thinking about the past?"

Huimin looked at Nian Shilan with soft and tolerant eyes.

Nian Shilan looked at her, struggling in her heart.

"Fu Cha Peiyun said that you were hesitant on the field and changed strategies many times, but..." Huimin stared at Nian Shilan's struggling and slightly confused eyes.

"Just make your own decision in your heart."

Nian Shilan looked at Huimin, her heart tightened, and her words became even more unforgiving.

"You are the worm in my stomach."

"Even the eagles on the grassland don't have eyes as sharp as yours."

Huimin didn't care about her attitude, "Thank you for praising me for my cleverness."

When facing Nian Shilan, you need to be thicker-skinned and have a bigger and stronger heart.

Seeing that Huimin was unmoved and refused to listen, Nian Shilan choked.

My mood also calmed down.

"You can see clearly."

"Indeed, riding a horse reminds me of the old days. In the past, I insisted on marrying Prince Yong and entered the palace. The emperor doted on me and often rode with me. When the emperor saw me riding a horse, he would probably recall the past. Now I feel really disgusted and wish I could never see him again, so naturally I don't want to stand out."

"But, on horseback, I am unwilling to give up. I have to give it my all to live up to myself. My brother taught me horsemanship. Why am I so timid just because of the emperor that I don't even try my best when riding a horse?"

"If you hesitate, you will lose to Lanpin."

Nian Shilan spoke with mixed emotions, her hand constantly touching the teacup.

"Nian Shilan back then is definitely different now."

"If my brother saw me like this, he would be disappointed. When did Nian Shilan become timid?"

Huimin looked at the woman with a painful expression on her face and answered her in a resounding voice.

"No, General Nian will only feel sorry for my sister, thinking that she has been wronged because of his absence."

"General Nian loves you the most."
