The tenth day of March is Zihan's birthday.

Early this morning, all the palaces sent people to send gifts to Emperor Ji early. After breakfast, Nanyan took Emperor Shuyi to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's Palace to pay tribute. When he returned to the palace, Yingchun and Hexiang had already counted all the gifts and handed them to Nanyan for a review.

Fengluan Palace presented a gift of a jade vine and jade pendant, a pair of cloud-foot pearl tendril hairpins, two pairs of red gold and treasure hairpins, a satin robe of lotus green colored gold thread embroidered with hundreds of zodiac flowers, an enamel colored baby play double bottle, four purple gold relief hand stoves, ten eight immortal lotus white porcelain bowls, two jade teeth combs, six lotus pattern bright silver cups; Yilan Palace presented a gift of six gold threaded cereal squid, three green jade pillows, six ivory carvings, two small round mirrors of ivory painted red phoenix sandalwood, two wide-coloured blue dots and green beads; Chonghua Palace presented a gift of three gold silk incense wood embedded in cicada jade beads, and a five-color brocade plate gold color embroidered silk skirt... Only here, the gift list of Chonghua Palace has abruptly ended.

Nan Yan looked over and over again in disbelief. When he finally confirmed that the gifts from Chonghua Palace were only the only gifts, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Is the things sent by Concubine Xian all on it?"

Yingchun served a cup of tea. After hearing Nanyan’s question, he curled his lips and said in a low voice, "I don’t know yet. Since the concubine Xian lost her favor, Chonghua Palace has been worse than before. The rewards given in Mingde Palace were deducted by half before they were paid."

When Nan Yan heard this, he curled his eyebrows and said in confusion, "How could the emperor and the virtuous concubine have been in love with her for many years?"

"This is not what the emperor means." Yingchun looked around and saw that no one was beside him, so he covered Nanyan's ear and whispered, "It's the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The emperor punished Eunuch Chen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs because Concubine Xian lost her green head a few days ago. Therefore, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not give Concubine Xian a good look. The emperor rewarded the Chonghua Palace, which has always been expensive, and they deducted them all. Anyway, the emperor didn't ask, and no one would know."

Nan Yan raised his eyebrows, feeling a little unfair, "They are too bold. If the emperor finds out, they will be punished!"

Yingchun sneered gently, "How could the emperor know? The empress is over there. Now that the queen is pregnant, who dares to touch her? But let the father-in-law of the Ministry of Internal Affairs get a bargain."

Nan Yan sipped a sip of tea and sneered repeatedly, "But she still has the baby's glory."

Yingchun knew that Nanyan was mocking the queen and did not dare to accept such words. She quickly became lucky and wanted to retreat. As soon as she walked to the door, she saw Aunt Chen bringing Shuyi Emperor Ji to this side.

"Mother!" When Zi Han saw Nanyan, he hurriedly threw Aunt Chen away and rushed into Nanyan's arms.

"Slow down, be careful of falling!" Nan Yan squatted down and picked up Zi Han into his arms.

Zihan grabbed Nan Yan's sleeve, stared at her big, watery eyes, and smiled pretty, "Mother, Mother, I haven't seen Mother Xian for a long time. Today, will Mother Xian come to see me for Zihan's birthday?"

When Nan Yan heard Zihan called Shen Chang'an "My Fair Mother", he was shocked and his face was a little uncomfortable. Seeing this, Aunt Chen hurriedly bowed to Nan Yan and said, "The Emperor has always liked Empress Xianfei."

The Nanyan surface sank, and he still couldn't understand.

When he was in the mansion, Chang'an loved Zihan very much. Not only did he name her personally, he often brought her to play with him in his spare time. After entering the palace, Zihan would occasionally go to her. But what Nanyan didn't expect was that Zihan was thinking about Shen Chang'an so much.

Nan Yan smiled indifferently and was about to explain to Zihan that a palace maid came outside to report that Concubine Zhong Jie from Yilan Palace had arrived.

Before he finished speaking, Concubine Zhong smiled and raised the curtain and came in.

Today she was wearing a light green flower palace outfit, with a layer of golden gauze on the outside, and her wide clothes were rusted with purple patterns. The three thousand black hairs were a little bit tucked, and she was simply tied. A small red gem hanging between her hair, which was just right. Perhaps she applied a lot of fragrance before she came, and as her lotus steps moved, the fragrance could not be removed.

Zihan has always disliked the fragrance on Zhong Yuxiu's body, so he quickly got out of Nan Yan's arms and hid behind her.

When Zhong Yuxiu saw Zihan, she became more and more happy. She bent down and reached out to Zihan, "Come on, Shuyi, come here and let me hug you."

"Shuyi" was originally a title given to Zihan by the emperor, and Zihan didn't want others to call her by title. When he heard Yuxiu calling her like this, he immediately turned his face and grabbed Nanyan's clothes tightly without saying a word.

Seeing Zihan like this, Yuxiu felt embarrassed, and withdrew her hand, chuckled unnaturally, "This child really recognizes her child."

Seeing that Yuxiu's face was not good, Nan Yan smiled calmly and calmly, "Zihan has never seen the little master Jieyu, so he naturally recognized her child."

When Yu Xiu heard this, his heart suddenly stinged.

She never took Zihan, the Emperor's Princess seriously, and even her biological mother, Yuxiu, never looked at her. But because the emperor favored the Emperor and she was empty-headed, she thought that she should be more enthusiastic about this Emperor.

Yu Xiu smiled slightly, but he didn't intend to sarcasm from Nan Yan just now. Then he took out a pair of silver-wrapped double-buckle bracelets from the wrapped handkerchief and said to Zihan with a smile, "Shuyi, look at what Mother Zhong brought to you?"

When Zi Han heard this, he didn't even look at the bracelet. He only pulled Nan Yan's sleeve and muttered in a low voice, "Zhong Jieyu is not my mother..."

Yuxiu heard Zihan call her name, and her face suddenly changed, as if she was frost.

Nan Yan was also stunned. Although she didn't like Zhong Yuxiu, she didn't want to embarrass her in person. So she gave Aunt Chen a wink. Aunt Chen immediately understood and pulled Zihan to Zhong Yuxiu and said gently, "Grandpa, do you like this pair of bracelets?"

"I don't like it!" Zi Han stretched out his hand and knocked off the silver bracelet in Zhong Jieyu's hand with a "bang". The bracelet fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

"Oh, you kid! This thing is very expensive!" Lan Xiang rushed to the ground first, looking at the broken silver bracelet, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

Zhong Yuxiu was so angry that she was trembling all over. Although Nan Yan was surprised, when Lan Xiang said this, she just looked at her calmly and said, "It seems that it is not a good thing. It breaks after falling. There are such things in Yunyan Pavilion."

When Zhong Yuxiu heard this, she was already angry and angry. She had never suffered such insults. Her face turned red immediately and she said bluntly, "What does Zhao Ronghua mean? How can the Yilan Palace in this palace be compared with Yunyan Pavilion? The pair of silver bracelets in this palace are more valuable than all the things in this Yunyan Pavilion combined. Ronghua is afraid that he still doesn't understand what the emperor gave you Yunyan Pavilion? Yunyan, Yunyan, are just Yunyan."

Nan Yan's face turned blue with anger. What she hated the most was Zhong Yuxiu's face as a villain at this moment. She suddenly thought of something, sneered slightly, and said coldly, "I am the past Yunyan, and I am afraid that Concubine Jie is not much better. How did Concubine Jie come from? Naturally, it is clearer than me."

Yuxiu looked at the thin smile on Nan Yan's lips, and her face turned red and her muscles were even more angry. At the same time, she felt a ghost in her heart, so she naturally didn't dare to say anything to argue. She just held back her anger and said hatefully, "Lan Xiang, let's go."

Lan Xiang glanced at Zihan coldly and left behind Zhong Yuxiu.

As soon as they left the door, Zihan couldn't help but start crying.

When Nan Yan saw Zihan crying, he immediately felt distressed. He hurriedly hugged her and said in a gentle voice, "What's wrong with Zihan?"

Zihan cried and couldn't speak for a while. After a long time, he hesitated, "Mother... just now... just now... was Zihan doing something wrong..."

Nan Yan felt sore in his eyes, and he reached out to hug his daughter tightly, "You did not do anything wrong, it was the mother who did something wrong. It was the mother who encouraged her arrogance."

Zihan was still crying, but Nan Yan had already made plans in her heart. She called Aunt Chen, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and ordered, "Take a few things and go to Chonghua Palace to see the Xian Concubine. Also... tell her everything you see."

Aunt Chen is so experienced. When she heard this, she also had some idea in her heart and hurriedly agreed.

When Aunt Chen arrived at Chonghua Palace, Chang'an was going out with Wanran. When Wanran saw Aunt Chen coming, she hurriedly said, "Empress and I are about to go see the Emperor Princess. Why are you here now?"

Aunt Chen bowed and smiled, asked the two masters about their feelings, then turned to Chang'an and said, "Can you take a step to speak?"

Chang'an felt a little stunned. He thought that he had never had much interaction with Zhao Ronghua, but the people in her palace wanted to talk to her privately this time, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Thinking of this, Chang'an responded, turned to Wanran and smiled, and took Aunt Chen into the hall.

Aunt Chen thought that she would inevitably make people suspicious when she came to Chonghua Palace this time, and she didn't dare to hesitate. She said, "I have something to say to the concubine Xian."

Seeing her like this, Chang'an couldn't help but feel a little curious again, "Let's talk about it."

Aunt Chen was slightly focused and suddenly said, "On the night of the Queen Mother's birthday party, I was watching outside. When I went to serve in the morning, I looked on the bed and saw that it was red..."

When Chang'an heard this, Muran opened his eyes wide, "You mean..."

"I dare not deceive the Empress, and I know that Master Zhong must have put some thought into it. Although the emperor was drunk that night, he was not as good as he was drunk."

As soon as these words came out, Chang'an suddenly felt a terrified. In an instant, she understood everything.

She should have thought of it long ago. She should have thought of it long ago. Why was Zhong Yuxiu who could enter the palace in Mingde that night? She should have thought of it long ago.

Chang'an has a lot of words to say at this time, but when it comes to his mouth, he can't say a single word.

Why didn't anyone tell her earlier? Now that she knows, what's the use?

Even if Ye Chuluo was not voluntarily, now he still likes Zhong Yuxiu the same way? What's the difference?

Wanran is right, it was she who was wrong, it was her who was Chen Chang'an. If she had not fired Chu Luo unscrupulously and had not thrown away the bottle, everything would have been different now.

She pushed him farther and farther away.

The last time she saw Chu Luo, she looked at him, and she believed that she was the only one in his heart. But now? Does she still dare to be sure like this?

He always told her to believe him, but she was suspicious again and again. Time flies, and finally, she could no longer beg him to turn back.
