In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Chapter 419: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 23

Nian Shilan did this not entirely to take revenge on Concubine De and Concubine Yixiu, but to gain more power in the future. Both Uya and Ulanara wanted to become the new queen mother's family. With them around, her future plan of becoming a queen from a noble concubine and then from a queen to an empress like Wu Zetian would have a roadblock.

This is a political struggle and has nothing to do with hatred. Knowing that it is a roadblock, it must be removed as soon as possible. If it is not suitable to be removed at present, then hollow it out and kick it away when the time is right.

I think the hollowed-out stone must be easy to kick away, and it will no longer hurt your feet or block your way.

In remote and poor areas, the Nian family built one abandoned baby hall after another. Nian Shilan had a lot of gold, silver and treasures in his space, and he also secretly gathered a lot of merchant forces, so he was naturally not short of money.

In terms of talents, there are introductions of characters on the family system cards, so they naturally develop rapidly. Even the low-level officials in the small counties where Nian Xialing and Nian Xiyao serve have been almost replaced by Nian Shilan.

I always feel that my power is like some kind of "cult", booming and growing very quickly. I have to say that the family system is really powerful, but fortunately these are passive skills, and Nian Shilan dare not touch the points he earned.

Now we can only be firm in our original intentions, do everything for merit, be a wise ruler, improve the officialdom, improve people's livelihood, bring good changes to the world, and never be corrupted. If we are corrupted and there is a family system, then this world will really be over.

Most things went as planned according to Nian Shilan's plan, except for one thing, which was Yinzhen's shamelessness.

When Nian Shilan was pregnant before, Nian Gengyao gave in and "sincerely" joined Yinzhen's army. Now that Nian Shilan has a miscarriage, Nian Gengyao, who has acknowledged his master, will not "betray" her. For this reason, Yinzhen, who should have cooperated with her peacefully and no longer had to come to Tongxinyuan to act, comes to Nian Shilan every day to seek his existence as if to "make up for it".

Although Nian Shilan could close the gate to prevent Yinzhen from coming, it was clearly not her fault, so why should she confine herself?

Yinzhen also felt at the beginning that he had the support of the Nian family. As long as he succeeded in the future and gave Shilan a high position and treated her well, the Nian family would not say anything.

But after just a few days without seeing Nian Shilan's face, Yinzhen felt like he was suffering from lovesickness and couldn't stop thinking about her. When he was eating, he would remember that this dish was Shilan's favorite, when he was sleeping, he would remember that his bed was not as comfortable as the bed in Shilan's yard, and even when he was working, he would remember what Shilan was busy with.

I thought I was used to it and I just had to endure it, but after enduring it for half a month, Yinzhen didn't get better at all. I just felt that his longing for Shilan was always with me.

The meeting with Shilan was a calculation, and everything was different from when he met Rouze, but now Yinzhen had to admit that even Rouze had never made him miss her so much.

"I originally thought I was just acting, but now I realize I have been truly sincere without even realizing it."

Yinzhen admitted defeat. He longed to see Nian Shilan. He admired Nian Shilan and wanted Nian Shilan's sincerity. So he went to Tongxinyuan again with a flattering face. Even if Nian Shilan completely ignored him and didn't give him a good face, he would not give up.

Su Peisheng looked at the prince who was trying to please the cold butt in front of him, and who was shamelessly squeezing next to the concubine to eat, ignoring the concubine's words to drive him away. He felt incredible and couldn't help feeling a little scared.

He always felt that the current prince was scarier than the prince when he met Concubine Rouze. Although the current prince did not treat Concubine Nian the same way he treated Concubine Rouze, the sincerity in his eyes and the crazy possessiveness towards Concubine Nian hidden under his peaceful face made Su Peisheng afraid.

No matter how much the prince liked Concubine Rouze in the past, he never served her personally. He would not be like he is now, disliking Songzhi and the others for being an eyesore and rushing to serve Concubine Nian himself, doing everything without asking anyone else for help.

Yinzhen's feelings for Nian Shilan were unexpected but not surprising. In his previous life, Yinzhen himself developed feelings for Nian Shilan while acting in the play. Although they were not sincere, they were there.

Because of my non-cooperation in this life, Yinzhen has put in more effort. The more I invest, the harder it is for me to let go. Plus, my appearance and temperament are what a dark person like Yinzhen likes to pursue and possess. Especially since she had gotten it before but it came to an abrupt end before she was satisfied, it made him even more obsessed. It was normal for him to fall in love with her.

Therefore, Nian Shilan was not surprised at all to feel Yinzhen's love for her. She was surprised because she didn't expect this man to be so despicable. She thought that in her previous life, Zhen Huan's strategy of playing hard to get was effective because of Bai Yueguang's gentleness. Now it seems that it is also due to the fact that this man likes this kind of relationship.

Otherwise, Ye Lanyi who appeared later would not have been favored.

At night, Yinzhen still refused to leave. He wanted to hold Nian Shilan in his arms while sleeping like before, but was rejected by Nian Shilan. Even if she found him having any intention of touching her, Nian Shilan would directly chase him away, saying that she was no longer able to have children and hoped that the prince would go somewhere else for the sake of having an offspring.

Yinzhen was very upset, but he was unwilling to leave Tongxinyuan. In the end, he could only suppress his desire for Nian Shilan and lie obediently on the side.

If Yinzhen were to go and talk to Yixiu now, I'm sure they would both have a lot of empathy.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Nian Shilan is already twenty years old. In the past few years, even though Yinzhen could not get what he wanted, he still stayed in Tongxinyuan and refused to leave. He would only go to the main courtyard to have dinner on the first and fifteenth days of the month. Only when he could not hold it any longer would he go to the courtyards of the princesses to stay for a night.

The princesses in Prince Yong's mansion were all jealous of Concubine Nian's exclusive favor, but since Nian Shilan held the power of housekeeper and was fair, he would not make things difficult for them as long as they were honest, so they dared not say anything openly.

Only a few smart people could see clearly that the problem of Concubine Nian's exclusive favor was not with Concubine Nian, but with the prince himself.

Everyone had more or less heard that Tongxinyuan had never called for water in the past four years, and Feng Gege could only admire them for this. Yes, she admired them. When the concubine had a miscarriage, the wife was "seriously ill" right after that. Feng Ruozhao naturally saw the inside story clearly.

I think the concubine should also know this, otherwise she wouldn't be so disrespectful to the concubine, and even ignored the prince. If it were Feng Ruozhao, she probably wouldn't dare to do so. Even if she was angry, she would definitely endure it. But Feng Ruozhao couldn't do it herself, but it didn't mean that she wouldn't admire Nian Shilan, who had such a noble character.

Yixiu also knew the truth about this matter, but on the one hand she ridiculed Nian Shilan for being ungrateful, and on the other hand she couldn't help but be jealous of Nian Shilan. Even though she was so dismissive of the prince's affection, the prince still doted on her.

Another smart person is Lu Yingfeng. She has never had any affection for Yinzhen, so she can naturally see that Nian Shilan is ruthless towards Yinzhen. However, her family background is not as good as Nian Shilan's, so she cannot be as free and easy as her and can only try to please her.
