Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1077 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 3

Nian Shilan stepped forward again, and Jiang Xinxin sat on it. She looked at Concubine Qi's seat and rolled her eyes at her, "I'm afraid Concubine Qi sat in the wrong seat today. How dare you step on me just because you have the Queen's support?"

Concubine Qi seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared completely. She looked at Jiang Xinxin with some panic, hoping that Jiang Xinxin could come up with an idea.

Jiang Xinxin secretly rolled her eyes at Concubine Qi in her heart, but said directly: "Concubine Qi is not sitting in the wrong place. Concubine Nian should be the last in the concubine rank."

Nian Shilan's face darkened immediately, and she even stopped politely. Normally, she would at least bend her knees. She stood in the middle of the hall with her head held high and said, "Did the Queen ask the Emperor for his opinion before doing this?"

Jiang Xinxin was too lazy to waste words on Nian Shilan, and directly said to Jianqiu: "Go to the Nian family and ask Ma how Ma could covet the empress when Nian, who was born in the Han Army Banner, was allowed to become a concubine."

Jianqiu immediately squatted down and responded: "I obey your orders."

After saying this, Jianqiu was ready to leave the palace. Not only Nian Shilan's face changed drastically, but everyone else's face also changed. They had no idea that the Queen had no intention of letting it go and even wanted to scold the women of the Nian family!

Jingpin stood up and knelt down to ask Jiang Xinxin to calm down, "Your Majesty, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and now is the time to seek stability. Please forgive Concubine Nian's mistakes."

Concubine Cao also hurried over and knelt down to plead for Nian Shilan: "Your Majesty, please have mercy. Madam Yikun did not mean to contradict you..."

Nian Shilan also knew how powerful the queen was, so she knelt down unwillingly and swallowed her anger: "...It's all my fault..."

Jiang Xinxin still had no intention of letting Nian Shilan go, and sneered, "There is nothing wrong with Concubine Nian. It is clearly my incompetence that I have no way to deal with someone like you who covets the throne in the harem."

"There's really no point in being the queen. What's the point of being the Queen of Yikun Palace? A mere noble lady dares to disobey the Queen's order. Huichun, go get the seal and send it to the Yangxin Palace. Then say that I'm incompetent and unable to suppress the Nian family. Please depose me as the queen!"

Well, now no one could sit still. They all stood up and knelt down to beg: "Please forgive me, Queen..."

Nian Shilan never expected that the queen would look like she was ready to break up with her at any time, even though she privately said that the queen was just an old woman and that if the queen was gone, the position of queen would definitely be hers.

But Jiang Xinxin had just mentioned the Han Army Banner, and her confused mind suddenly became clearer. Yes, she was not only from the Han Army Banner, but also a pure Han Chinese. The Nian family only became rich in the late period of the previous emperor's reign, which was really incomparable to the Queen's family, the Ulanara family, which looked like a ruined family and was of pure Manchu origin.

Nian Shilan's face turned pale and red, and Songzhi reminded her quietly, "My queen, think about the emperor."

For a love-brained girl, the fat orange killed Nian Shilan, and she could only close her eyes, grit her teeth, kneel down and express her submission to the queen: "...Please forgive me, Queen!"

Jiang Xinxin continued to press: "I like your unruly appearance, Nian. You are very suitable to be a queen. Unlike me, I don't know what sins I did in my previous life. I have the title of queen but have to be controlled by a concubine."

Nian Shilan almost broke her back teeth.

But she did know how serious it was. The emperor had just ascended the throne, and according to her second brother Nian Gengyao, the Eighth Prince's party was still causing trouble for the emperor. If rumors spread in the harem that concubines were threatening the queen, the queen would certainly be embarrassed, but would the concubines who threatened the queen have face?

Does the emperor who favored his concubine and killed his wife have the face to do so?

With tears in her eyes, Nian Shilan finally bent her straight back and kowtowed to the queen, "Please forgive me, Queen!"

"Hmph," Jiang Xinxin didn't yell, and directly ordered: "Yesterday, I divided some of the palace affairs among others. From now on, Concubine Qi will manage the embroidery room, Concubine Duan will manage the flowers and plants, and Concubine Nian will manage the kitchen. The remaining affairs will be taken over by me. Today, I will inform the six palaces so that you know what is lacking and where to complain. Don't bother me all the time."

Concubine Qi was overjoyed and was the first to speak in thanks: "Thank you for your grace, Queen. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Concubine Duan did not come. Nian Shilan took a deep breath and finally chose to continue to give in: "...Thank you for your grace, Queen."

Jiang Xinxin still didn't wake up, and Nian Shilan knelt beside Concubine Qi and didn't dare to stand up easily, and then she heard the Queen say: "Fei Changzai didn't move to another palace yesterday, it seems that she doesn't intend to obey my order. Well, you just need to know that if you are not a concubine in the harem or a lady of the previous dynasty, I can't control you."

When Fei heard that the Queen had demoted her to a commoner, she fainted as she had not waited for good news from Shilan the previous day and did not expect to hear such bad news today.

Jiang Xinxin was too lazy to look at the concubines below. She was about to order them to disperse, but unexpectedly, Concubine Qi forgot her prestige just now and raised an objection without any eyesight: "Empress, Concubine Duan has been seriously ill for many years. I'm afraid she doesn't have the energy to take care of the palace affairs. How about..."

Jiang Xinxin glanced at Concubine Qi lightly. Concubine Qi shrank back when she saw Jiang Xinxin's meaningless look. The concubines kneeling behind her couldn't help but curse her for being nosy.

Nian Shilan took the opportunity to stand up and challenge: "The Queen, please don't be partial to one and ignore the other. Concubine Qi is in charge of the embroidery room and she's not satisfied. She's still in Jingren Palace and she's already thinking about the affairs of that bitch Concubine Duan. Please correct the palace rules."

Concubine Qi bowed down again and hastily defended herself: "I am not thinking about Concubine Duan's power in the palace, but I am thinking that Concubine Duan looks sick and can't manage the affairs!"

Jiang Xinxin scolded Concubine Qi impatiently: "Alright! The emperor sent you and Concubine Duan a housekeeper nanny just for the sake of title. You are not smart enough, just follow the nanny's arrangements and don't cause trouble. I am not feeling well today and I hate chaos the most!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Xin Changzai and Jingpin only looked at each other when they left the house and then hurried back to their own palaces, not daring to delay for even a moment.

It is well known that Concubine Cao is a vassal of Nian Shilan. Concubine Fei has fainted again. She uses the excuse of taking care of Concubine Fei to avoid being an eyesore in front of Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan walked first as usual. Concubine Qi, who was supposed to walk in front, became weak in the legs because she sensed Jiang Xinxin's disgust. It was only with the help of other palace maids in Jingren Palace that she finally stood up.

In Yanqing Palace, Concubine Duan was also trying to figure out the Queen's recent actions. She really couldn't understand what had happened to the Queen that would make her endure the Emperor's displeasure and the Queen Mother's rebuke and insist on making things difficult for Nian Shilan. Although she was very happy to see Nian Shilan being humiliated, the Queen's sudden change made her very uneasy.

As usual, the news of Jingren Palace failed to spread out of the harem. After Fatty Ju learned about what happened in Jingren Palace, he stopped writing for a long time. In the end, he didn't care about it. He didn't turn over the card at night and spent the night in the Yangxin Palace.
