Chapter 424: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 28
Chapter 424: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 28
"Then the lady won't change?"
Songzhi and the others have seen that the emperor has been doting on Nian Shilan all these years, and now she is obviously trapped in the emperor's "true love".
"Hey, Songzhi, go call Baicao over, I have something to tell you."
It cannot be delayed any longer. After all, Songzhi and the others are not women who have received modern education. Restricted by the times, as traditional ancient women, when they see their so-called husbands "doting" on a woman so much, they think this is true love and even want to grasp such true love.
If I let them continue to misunderstand, sooner or later they will be unable to resist and urge me to win favor.
Nian Shilan couldn't help but feel fortunate that she did not tell Songzhi and the others the truth about the miscarriage. Now she brought the matter up again to warn Songzhi and the others not to forget the past.
"Songzhi, Baicao, remember, the emperor's favor towards me is not sincere, nor is it out of affection. It is just based on my beauty, family background, and guilt."
"The emperor is deceiving himself and others, using sincerity to cover up his ugliness. We cannot be fooled."
"If you really like someone, you won't like someone else. If he really likes me, why would he have so many women?"
"I had a miscarriage and can't have another child. The murderer who killed me is now high and mighty, acting as the Queen Mother and Empress. He is not my lover, but the backer of my enemy, and he is using me to gain the loyalty of my brother, the Emperor."
"My lady..."
"My lady..."
When Songzhi and Baicao heard Nian Shilan mention the "old injury", they couldn't help but burst into tears. They began to blame themselves for forgetting the hurt the queen had suffered because of the emperor's favor over the years.
Seeing that they were "awake", Nian Shilan rarely spoke a word from the heart.
"Besides, just because the emperor favors me doesn't mean I have to be attracted to him. I'm so beautiful and young, and the emperor is so much older than me. I really don't like him."
"If I could not disobey the imperial decree, why would I marry an old man who could be my father as a concubine?"
If I didn't have to complete the mission, how could I be trapped in such a depressing environment in ancient times without freedom?
"Your Majesty, someone from Concubine Hua's palace just sent back the palace list."
Jianqiu looked a little embarrassed. As a confidant of the Queen, Jianqiu naturally understood the Queen's intention of sending the list to Yikun Palace. But now Concubine Hua sent the list back without changing a word. Not only did all the Queen's plans come to nothing, but the palace for the newlyweds still had to be arranged.
"Not a single word has been changed. Concubine Hua said that the selection was handled by the Queen, so the subsequent arrangements will naturally be decided by the Queen, and she will not interfere."
"hateful!"
The Queen, who had originally been complacently planning to see what kind of positions Concubine Hua would arrange for the newcomers, was so angry after hearing Jianqiu's report that she threw the list to the ground.
"How could she not change? Does she really not care about the newcomer entering the palace and taking away her favor?"
What the Queen actually wanted to ask was, does Concubine Hua really not care about the Emperor? But she took back the question and changed it to, does Concubine Hua really not care about the newcomer taking over the Emperor's favor?
In fact, the Queen already knew the answer to the question. Not only the Queen, but every woman in the entire harem who had seen the look in Concubine Hua's eyes when she looked at the Emperor actually knew the answer to the question of whether Concubine Hua cared about the Emperor.
People often say that it’s impossible to hide the love in one’s eyes. Similarly, it’s also impossible to hide the dislike in one’s eyes, especially when that person’s acting is perfunctory.
Nian Shilan has never loved anyone. Maybe she has had a crush on someone, but she has never truly loved anyone.
Even after reading so many memories of resentful souls, Nian Shilan could never learn their look of admiration for others. Perhaps this is the reason why she is still not very popular in the world of "Knowing" even with the help of the poisonous insect.
The emperor in "Knowing Your Destiny" is a man who longs for the true heart of a woman, so he favors Zhang Wanyi, does not love Queen Cao, and also does not love Qin Wanrong.
The emperor in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" also longs for the sincerity of women, but he only cares about the sincerity of women he cares about or likes. So he doesn't care if the queen loves him or Qi Yuebin loves him, because he doesn't have them in his eyes. But he cares about the sincerity of Queen Chun Yuan, and he is even more convinced that Chun Yuan and Nian Shilan in his previous life are the only ones in the world who truly love him.
It's just that he is too suspicious and narcissistic. He doesn't believe that anyone can love him wholeheartedly, but he also believes that no one can stop loving him.
So, it’s really cheap, right?
The sky was clear and the wild geese were flying south, which was a good omen. Under such a good omen, the protagonists of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" appeared one by one. Just like in the previous life, a total of seven people were selected to enter the palace, three noble ladies, three maids and one concubine.
The noble lady Borjigit, the transparent mascot in the previous life, has the same function in this life, and there is almost nothing to pay attention to. The noble lady Fucha, born in the Manchu military flag, is just a side branch, with average brains and above average looks. The noble lady Shen Meizhuang was specially trained and sent to the palace by the Shen family. She looks dignified and beautiful, but too noble and fake smart and really impatient. The concubine Zhen Huan, the heroine, has the same face as Chang Chunyuan. The concubine Xia Dongchun, with gorgeous looks and unruly behavior, surrendered to the queen. The concubine Fang Chunyi, short-lived and young, her true temperament is quite controversial. The concubine An Lingrong, the daughter of a small official in a remote area of the eighth rank, is a sensitive and fragile observation master.
Nian Shilan didn't want to kill. Logically speaking, these new women entering the palace would be obstacles to Nian Shilan's path to the throne. However, Nian Shilan didn't need to do anything because they could fight each other to pieces.
Not to mention that Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan were guilty of the heinous crime of genocide, such as adultery, while Fang Chunyi and Xia Dongchun both died because of traders. If she doesn't do anything in this life, it shouldn't matter, after all, they are the Queen's people and cannot have children.
Forget it, I don’t have to do it myself in this life. Looking at their innocent appearance, the empress and the emperor, a illegitimate couple, can destroy them.
After some analysis, Nian Shilan was sure that these people would not affect her great cause, so she decided to leave them alone. As for whether these people would follow the same path as in their previous lives without Concubine Hua's frame-up and torture in this life, Nian Shilan said that they would.
Regardless of whether she frames the newcomers or not, the queen will never forget to instigate them. As long as they want the emperor's favor, they will definitely go against her under the queen's instigation.
I am not a good-tempered person. Would I let them off the hook just because I think they are stupid? Of course not. But if I punish them, they will bear a grudge. This situation cannot be solved by giving in. They will only understand when they see the true face of the queen.
But it is obvious that with the IQ of the newcomers in Legend of Zhen Huan, they could not see clearly at the beginning. Before Zhen Huan entered the palace, she said that Concubine Hua "served men with her beauty". From the beginning, her pride and arrogance made her reluctantly look down on the Queen as her legal wife.
