Chapter 234 Mei Zhuang is uncomfortable and breaks her legs
It would have been fine if it was just an ordinary fight, but the attack was so brutal that it directly broke Huai Kuan's leg.
In this case, Huaikuan's path to the imperial examination would be completely cut off, and he could not even buy an official position.
Good, what a great year.
"My queen, the Nian family only dared to treat the Third Young Master so harshly because of Nian Gengyao's military achievements. We must seek justice for the Third Young Master."
Jianqiu didn't expect that Nian Shou would dare to be so arrogant in front of the emperor. He simply didn't take their Ulanala clan seriously.
"What is the Nian family? They are just from the Han army. The Han people are the slaves of us Manchus. How dare the slaves turn against the Tian Gang and beat their master."
"Does the Nian family really consider themselves to be legitimate relatives of the emperor?"
"She, Hua Fei, is just a concubine. I am the emperor's wife and the only empress."
The angrier the queen was, the calmer she became.
Now that Nian Gengyao has just returned victoriously, the Emperor will not punish the Nian family because of the life and death of a descendant of her mother's side branch. So the only way to seek revenge is to turn to the Empress Dowager.
"It's time for the Queen Mother to take her medicine. How can a son not go and serve her?"
"Pack up for me and go to Shoukang Palace immediately."
"Yes, ma'am."
Shoukang Palace
The weather has been getting colder in recent days, and the Queen Mother is weak and falls ill after catching a little cold.
Shen Meizhuang has been silent since the fake pregnancy incident.
Although she also wanted to be favored, she saw the current situation very clearly.
Concubine Hua was favored because of Nian Gengyao, Concubine Xuan was favored because of Prince Fuzhen, and there was also Huan'er.
The emperor would occasionally visit her, but she felt like she didn't know how to face him.
Therefore, the two of them always felt awkward when getting along with each other. The emperor could naturally feel Shen Meiyu's unnaturalness. After so many times, he no longer had the heart to go to Cunjutang to see Shen Meiyu.
Anyway, now that he has Zhen Huan to check and balance Concubine Hua for him, he doesn't have to use Shen Meizhuang, so of course he just follows his own heart.
Now that Nian Gengyao has returned victoriously, the Emperor almost always goes to Concubine Hua's palace upon arriving at the harem. At most, he goes to Concubine Xuan's place to see the little prince during the day, and he rarely even goes to Huan'er's place.
As for the other concubines, they had not seen the emperor for a long time, and she was no exception.
She could only think of finding a new backer, and the Queen Mother was the most suitable candidate.
The Queen Mother had always liked dignified and generous women like Shen Meizhuang, so she was not displeased by Shen Meizhuang's visit.
With the Queen Mother's care, Shen Meizhuang could clearly sense that the people in the palace had become more friendly towards her.
In return for the favor, she came to Shoukang Palace more frequently.
Now that the Queen Mother had caught a cold, she naturally came to take good care of her and served her medicine.
The Queen Mother leaned on the bed and looked at the gentle and virtuous Shen Meizhuang and couldn't help but speak.
"You are so young, why do you come to my womb every day? Everyone knows that you go to the Emperor's Palace of Heavenly Purity, but how come you don't know?"
"The Empress Dowager is the Emperor's mother. As the Emperor's concubine, I should naturally show my filial piety to the Empress Dowager on behalf of the Emperor."
Shen Meizhuang smiled and answered.
"You, I know you are very sad to lose a child, but life has to go on. You can't always indulge in the pain of losing a child."
The Queen Mother could naturally understand Shen Meizhuang's sadness. After all, she had also lost her child. She knew how painful it was for a mother.
"You need to get closer to the emperor. With the baby in your belly, you will naturally get over it."
The Queen Mother looked at Shen Meizhuang with concern and began to persuade her.
"Thank you for your guidance, Queen Mother. I understand now."
Shen Meizhuang lowered her eyes and responded softly.
"It's not enough to just know, you have to do it."
The Queen Mother knew at a glance that the other party had not listened to her words at all, and shook her head helplessly.
Just at this moment, Zhu Xi came in to report.
"Empress, the Queen is here."
Seeing this, Shen Meizhuang very tactfully offered to leave.
"Then, Your Majesty, I will leave first."
"Go ahead and think carefully about what I said."
The Queen Mother waved at Shen Meizhuang.
"Greetings to the Queen."
The Queen came in and bowed to the Queen Mother.
"Get up. What happened that brought you to Shoukang Palace in such a hurry?"
The Queen Mother took the initiative to ask.
"Aunt, Huaikuan is in trouble."
The Queen didn't say anything more and went straight to the point when speaking to the Queen Mother.
"Huai Kuan, are you talking about the third child from that branch family?"
The Empress Dowager thought about it and remembered that the Queen had indeed mentioned that Huaikuan was a promising student, so she had some impression of him.
"What happened to him?"
"Nian Shou of the Nian family broke our Huai Kuan's leg because of a small matter. Aunt, you have to make the decision for our Ulanara family."
The queen started to cry as she spoke. This was a rare and promising talent in their Ulanala clan, and yet he was ruined in the hands of the Nian family.
It didn't matter how Concubine Hua bullied her on normal days, but today's matter was not a fight among the concubines in the harem. The Nian family's actions directly destroyed her future hopes and support. How could she not feel angry and sad about this?
"what?"
"How dare the Nian family be so bold and reckless? Can you tell me in detail what is going on?"
The Queen Mother sat up straight in disbelief. She had not expected that Nian Gengyao's family would be so arrogant that they would dare to attack their family members in front of the Emperor.
"Huichun, please explain the whole thing clearly."
The Queen said to Huichun.
"Yes, ma'am."
Huichun honestly told all the news she knew.
"Okay!"
"What a Nian family, you are going too far."
"I originally thought that the other party might have done it unintentionally, but I didn't expect that they were targeting our Ulanara family. I am still here, and they dare to be so arrogant?"
The Queen Mother recalled what Xiao Xiazi had said about the banquet that day, and she believed it a little more.
Nian Gengyao dared to act like this in front of the emperor, so it is not impossible for his son to do the same thing.
"Aunt, their family is coming for us. We can't endure this any longer."
The Queen knew that the Emperor would not take action against the Nian family because of his own family affairs, so she had no intention of going to the Emperor for a decision.
"Queen, I know you can't bear this, and I can't bear it either, but I have to bear it."
"The emperor cannot take action against the Nian family for the time being. Not only is she the daughter of the Ulanara family, she is also the emperor's wife. You can only choose to endure it and wait for the future."
