Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

Chapter 79 75. Cost
  The news that Concubine Duan was raising Princess Wen Yi reached Yikun Palace, and when she heard that Concubine Wan was accompanying her in Yangxin Palace in the afternoon, Nian Shilan felt ridiculous in her heart.

Naturally, she would not think that the emperor who had left Yikun Palace would still accept her sarcastic suggestion.

He sneered and called Songzhi.

"I remember that there were still Guanyin statues from a long time ago in the warehouse. I picked out two of them. One was sent to Suiyuxuan and the other to Yanqing Hall."

Songzhi took the order and left, leaving Nian Shilan alone leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, her eyes full of ridicule.

The news about Nian's promised gift finally spread, and Xia Dongchun also heard the news in Yanxi Palace and couldn't laugh or cry.

At night, the emperor arrived at Yikun Palace again.

Seeing Nian Shilan sitting by the candlelight, stroking a riding suit in a daze, he didn't even notice the emperor coming in.

"Why did you remember to pack these?" The emperor seemed to have recalled something, and asked in a warm voice.

When Nian Shilan came to his senses, he did not get up to salute, but simply replied: "I haven't ridden a horse for a long time."

The emperor recalled the words that Nian Shilan said feebly before he hit a pillar and committed suicide that day.

"Your Majesty, would you like to take Shilan to ride a horse tomorrow?"

This sentence shocked him as much as Nian Shilan committed suicide by hitting a pillar.

"I still remember that when you first entered the palace, you often went out riding and shooting with me. At that time, you really fascinated me." The emperor recalled.

"This red riding outfit was made for you when you first entered the palace. I specially found someone to tailor it for you. I still remember the sight of you putting it on and getting on the horse."

"At that time, during the autumn and winter hunts, the emperor would take his concubine to the Mulan Paddock. The concubine would hunt with the emperor, and she would not fall behind every year. One year, the late emperor even praised the concubine for being a woman as good as a man. At that time Life is so good, if time could stop at that moment, or let Shilan die when the emperor loves her most, it would be better than now..." Nian Shilan shed tears as she spoke.

"If you want to go to Mulan Paddock again, I will take you there after you have given birth and are in confinement. You are pregnant now and need to rest." The emperor sighed and comforted her gently.

"Shilan won't go. The Emperor may not have been to Mulan for a long time. If the Emperor really wants to take Shilan there, he should go and have a look for Shilan first. See if the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen are still there in the Mulan paddock now. The shadow of Fujin on the side of Nian." There were tears in Nian Shilan's eyes that would never fall. With a few traces of sorrow and love, Nian Shilan looked at the emperor steadily.

"That's fine. It's true that I haven't gone hunting for a long time. In a few days, it will be the day of winter hunting." The emperor pondered for a long time and then said hoarsely.

Nian Shilan stopped talking and silently dusted off the old riding clothes with Songzhi, wiped them clean, and put them away.

"Shilan, time is still long. From now on, there will be no Nian family between you and me. Will you continue to be angry with me over some past events?" The emperor stretched out his hand to cover the back of Nian Shilan's hand and said softly. .

past? Her pain of losing her son, the blood feud between the Nian family, and the deception she suffered in the past ten years, she decided to commit suicide after learning the truth. In the eyes of the emperor, they were just trivial past events.

Nian Shilan smiled bitterly, if Songzhi had not hugged her legs desperately that day, if she committed suicide in front of him that day, would he have any regrets? Do you feel any guilt at all? Do you also feel that those are ordinary past events?
  "Now that you are pregnant, isn't it what you have wanted for many years? Peace in the world and clear seas and rivers are also what I have wanted in my life. Why are you still so unable to let go of the past? Are you really determined to separate from me? Stranger?" The emperor said sadly.

From now on? Stranger? How can we not be centrifugal? How can we not be strangers?
  Her enthusiasm will no longer be there, the child she lost will not come back, her love for many years has disappeared with the wind, and her brother will not come back from the dead.

There was nothing between her and him that could stop the blood feud?
  "Your Majesty..." Nian Shilan tried his best to hide the pain in his heart, but his face showed a deeply emotional expression. She shed two lines of tears and leaned into the Emperor's arms.

"I'm just worried that I won't be able to protect the child in my belly. In the past few days and nights, every time I close my eyes, I see the scene when I lost my child. Your Majesty, Shilan is scared." Nian Shilan choked up. "Don't be afraid. I have already asked the Imperial Hospital. The child in your belly is fine. It's just that the fetus is unstable due to the small month. The Imperial Hospital has a good prescription for fetal protection, which will definitely protect you and your child." The Emperor said. Soothing voice.

Afterwards, the two took off their clothes and rested.

In the afternoon of the next day, it was announced that King Guojun would enter the palace.

The two played chess at the Yangxin Palace, and also talked about the fact that when Emperor Kangxi was in power, he had to go hunting at Mulan Paddock every year, and his elder brothers often accompanied him.

Speaking of the late Emperor Ama, the two of them couldn't help but feel sad. The emperor waved his hand, and three days later, he took the prince of Guo County, Shen Beile, to Mulan Paddock for winter hunting.

Xia Dongchun didn't care much about it, but some people were unhappy.

Since the emperor had no intention of bringing his concubines with him on this trip, the queen and the queen mother felt it was inappropriate and persuaded the emperor to choose several concubines to go to Mulan Paddock together, but the emperor refused.

Qi Gui also asked to accompany him, and Chun Gui also wanted to go with him for fun, but the emperor actually made up his mind not to take anyone with him, not even the favored concubine Wan Concubine was mentioned.

The day before the emperor's departure, another imperial edict shocked the Sixth Palace.

Wanting to promise Nian that she sincerely repented, every application of Yikun Palace was in accordance with the concubine's position, and she was asked to continue to meditate on her past. The gate of Yikun Palace was closed and no one was allowed to enter.

Jingren Palace.

"The centipede insect is dead but not stiff. It seems that the emperor is determined to keep the child in Nian's belly." The queen frowned.

"I don't think so." Nanny Chen said in a low voice: "To this day, the emperor has not announced the news of Nian's pregnancy. Now, although the use of Yikun Palace has been restored, the palace door has been closed, allowing her to continue Think about it..."

"Mother Chen, when it comes to guessing the holy will, you are indeed much worse than Jianqiu." The queen said solemnly.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Nanny Chen's face.

"If the emperor did not want to keep this child, he would not have sent people to guard Yikun Palace, nor would he have restored the use of Yikun Palace. Even closing the palace gate was to protect Nian's mother and son. It seems that announcing Nian's pregnancy That day will be the time for its restoration.”

"Empress Shengming."

At this time, Jiang Fuhai came in to report.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Qi from Chuxiu Palace has been demoted to Qi Chang Zai."

"What? Why is this happening?" The queen was surprised.

"The emperor decreed that the use of Yikun Palace be restored. Qi Chang couldn't get angry, so he went to the Yangxin Palace to ask for an audience with the emperor. He said that he had promised to be unruly and unruly and rushed to high positions. He asked the emperor to take back his orders, otherwise he would break the heart of the hero. The emperor was furious, demoted Qi Changzai's position, and sent someone to reprimand Emin's goddaughter for her incompetence."

"It's so stupid!" The queen was furious: "Who gave her the courage to be such an idiot? Ah Qing, go to Chuxiu Palace, reprimand Guarjia on my behalf, and punish her to copy the palace rules fifty times, go quickly !”
