Obviously, those days in Huanyi Bureau were not in vain.
Probably because of this, when she looked at herself, there was uncontrollable resentment and jealousy in the twinkling light in her eyes.
When Gu Tingchun saw his daughter's expression, he was so frightened that he secretly pinched her.
Then he smiled at Nan Yan: "The imperial concubine is finally back, we have been waiting for a long time."
Nan Yan knew that she was afraid that Simulan would provoke her again and cause trouble, but in fact, she didn't have the energy to deal with Simulan. As long as she didn't make trouble for herself, she didn't mind what she thought.
After all, there are too many people in the world, and no one can be loved by everyone.
Even gold ingots.
So he smiled faintly, walked over and said, "It's my daughter's fault for keeping Mother waiting for a long time."
"Don't dare, dare not."
Gu Tingchun hastily lowered his head, and said cautiously: "The imperial concubine please go to the mansion to rest first."
"Um."
Nan Yan passed in front of them, without looking at Simu Lan, she just stepped over the threshold and entered the gate, and the maids and servants behind hurriedly followed up to serve.
Only then did Gu Tingchun turn around, slapped Simulan hard, and said in a low voice, "What were you doing like that just now? Do you think you haven't had enough of the hardships before?"
Simu Lan said unconvinced: "She gave me all the hardships I endured!"
"You, if you cause trouble again, be careful not to lose your head!"
"What are you afraid of?" Simu Lan rolled her eyes at the back that was fading away inside: "Don't look at her as a noble concubine now, but I heard that she has been thrown into the cold palace, such a person is worthy of us kneeling down ?"
Gu Tingchun was so angry with this daughter.
In fact, shortly after the emperor moved the capital and left Jinling, news came from Beiping that the imperial concubine was thrown into limbo for the crime of "infidelity".
At that time, she also hesitated.
But a few days ago, her younger brother Gu Tingqiu wrote a special letter to them, telling them that the emperor was going back to Jinling, and the letter was full of warnings, although the imperial concubine seemed to have lost power on the surface, but she must not be rude to her .
After going through so many things before, Gu Tingchun has already obeyed his younger brother. After all, he is not only a celebrity, but also an official of the court. He is naturally more concerned about the affairs of the court than himself. clear.
So this time, even though the imperial concubine came in a hurry, she did her best.
But this daughter of hers is still so ignorant, it really gives her a headache.
She spoke to Simulan again for a long time, then grabbed her and hurriedly followed. Nan Yan had already walked to the lobby and sat down. The maid immediately offered refreshments, and it was Ran Xiaoyu who took them and gave them to her. of.
Gu Tingchun walked in with Simulan, and stood quietly by the side waiting.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Master, sit down."
Gu Tingchun pleaded guilty, and sat on the side resting.
Because Nanyan didn't tell Simulan to sit down, she could only stand, her face was even more ugly, and because Gu Tingchun was in the way, she could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger.
Gu Tingchun said with a smile: "This time the imperial concubine followed the emperor back to Jinling, it can be seen that the holy family is in full bloom, and the women are also happy for the empress."
"Where," Nan Yan said with a faint smile, "my mother doesn't know about my suffering in the palace."
"..."
She spoke so well that Gu Tingchun didn't know how to respond.
Of course, Nan Yan didn't really want her to understand what she had suffered in the palace. After saying this, she drank a few sips of tea and rested for a while, then said: "By the way, mother, I have already I have been away from Jinling for so long, and when I come back this time, I first want to worship my ancestors."
"Of course. The civilian woman has already been prepared, and the empress can go there at any time."
"Mother is bothering you. Then let's go there."
"yes."
After saying that, they got up and left the lobby, and walked towards the backyard.
Walking into the ancestral hall, it was indeed cleaned up, incense candles were lit on the incense table, and tributes were prepared in advance, and the servants stood aside holding them.
Nanyan washed her hands, stepped forward, offered the tribute one by one, and the servants at home brought them forward, and then she kowtowed again.
Gu Tingchun and Simulan also followed behind her and kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times.
After everything was done, Ran Xiaoyu stepped forward and helped her up.
Gu Tingchun stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty is tired, let's sit in front and rest for a while. The women have prepared light wine and light banquets. Although you can't drink it, your Majesty can barely use it."
Nan Yan shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry yet."
When she said this, she kept looking at the spirit seat in front of her.
Gu Tingchun followed her gaze, but found that she had been looking at Si Zhongwen's spiritual tablet.
At this time, Nan Yan said: "Mother, I remember that the letter my father left said that I was brought back by him when I was a baby."
"..."
Gu Tingchun froze slightly.
She didn't expect that Si Nanyan would suddenly mention this.
It won't be so long, do you want to bring up the old things again
Simulan, who was standing behind her, was already sniffing at this "imperial concubine". When she heard this past incident, her eyes almost rolled to the top of her head. She snorted coldly in her heart and said: " Of course… "
The tone of her words was quite subtle.
Gu Tingchun immediately turned his head and glared at her.
Then he smiled apologetically at Nan Yan: "This happened many years ago."
Nan Yan smiled faintly: "I don't know if it's because I have been in the cold palace recently and have more free time. I often think of the past, and I also thought of this."
"..."
"Of course, at that time, Ben Gong was still in his infancy, so naturally he had no memory; my father had passed away long ago, so there was no way to ask him."
"..."
"So, I want to come back and ask my mother about what happened at that time."
Gu Tingchun's smile became stiffer and stiffer.
Regarding this period of the past, she was never willing to look back, it was almost a thorn in her heart, if not for this, Si Nanyan would not have treated her like that when she was a child.
But now, bringing up the old matter again, it's like slapping her in the face.
Her smile couldn't hold on anymore.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "My lord, I can't remember clearly what happened when I was a child, and I'm not interested in it. I'm just interested in the past when I was still in my infancy. I don't know if my mother would like it." What about telling this palace?"
Gu Tingchun could only forcefully smile and said, "My lady would not dare to refuse to obey her request. However, it happened more than 20 years ago, and the women don't remember much."
Nan Yan thought for a while, and said, "Then, when my father brings me back, do you still keep the things you brought with you?"
"Young lady means—"
"For example, the swaddling clothes wrapped in Ben Gong, or some things worn by Ben Gong."
