She was about to say something when she saw another figure walking in right behind Gu Qiqing.
"Minister, pay homage to the imperial concubine."
"..."
Seeing that familiar figure, Nan Yan frowned slightly.
Si Muzhen.
Why is she here
This sister who hadn't seen her for a long time, and the last time she only saw each other when she went back home to visit relatives, unexpectedly appeared in front of her again.
Even though Simu Yun and Simu Lan were the only ones who bullied him since he was a child, this little sister has almost never interfered, and she doesn't have any "old grudges" with her, but she loves Wu and Wu, hates Yu Xu, and she treats them well. Even if they try their best to repair the relationship now, it is impossible to have too close feelings.
Besides—
For some reason, ever since she suddenly stood up to toast last time, Nan Yan felt a little bad feeling in her heart.
Now seeing her enter the palace again, that feeling is even stronger.
Seeing her kowtow at her feet, Nan Yan was silent for a while, then smiled a little, and said calmly, "Mu Zhen? Why did you enter the palace too?"
The noble concubine didn't say "flat body", so naturally Si Muzhen couldn't get up either.
Even though she has never entered the palace, the rules are still very clear.
So, she knelt on the ground, lowered her head and said, "The girl came here without asking, please forgive me. Just because Qi Qing's foot was injured, the girl was worried that she would not be able to move, so she stayed to take care of her .”
"..."
"And just now, when the people in the palace came to summon Qi Qing, the girl was worried that her foot injury was not healed, so she had to come along with her."
"..."
"If you violate the palace rules, then the girl will withdraw immediately."
"..."
Nan Yan looked at her without saying a word.
These words are not only watertight, but she is his sister in name after all, and she has already entered the palace, so how could she really be kicked out.
Gu Qiqing, who was at the side, turned to look at Si Muzhen.
In fact, Si Muzhen never mentioned that she would stay and take care of her.
Instead, when their cars had already stopped at the door, everyone started to carry their luggage, and was about to get in the car to leave Gu's mansion and return to Henan, when they met someone from the palace to pick her into the palace, Si Muzhen suddenly said.
Father and the others were originally worried that they were young and wanted to send someone to accompany them, but because of the rush of time, they couldn't find a suitable person, so they had to let her come.
However, Gu Qiqing is still young after all.
She didn't quite know how the details would affect her, so she just stood quietly.
There was silence in Yikun Palace.
After a while, Nan Yan smiled faintly and said: "You are my sister, how could you be kicked out after you entered the palace?"
"..."
"Since you've come in, let's stay in the palace and play for a while."
The corner of Si Muzhen's mouth twitched slightly.
Immediately bowed his head and said: "Thank you, Concubine Gui."
Nan Yan raised her finger and pointed to the stool beside her: "Get up and sit down."
"Thank you ma'am."
After finishing speaking, he stood up, walked to the stool, and sat down obliquely.
After they talked for a while, Xin Ping in her arms finally woke up from her drowsiness. She yawned big, stretched out her hands and rubbed her eyes. When the blind man saw Gu Qiqing, he immediately said happily: "Miss sister!"
Gu Qiqing bowed to her: "Your Highness, Princess."
"Miss sister!"
Xin Ping slid down from Nan Yan's embrace, and as soon as she fell to the ground, she immediately ran towards her, and was about to bump into Gu Qiqing's body, while Nian Qiu hurriedly protected her.
Nan Yan also laughed and said, "You mustn't be willful today, your 'little sister' has a sore foot."
Gu Qiqing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about it. It's just a sprain. After taking the medicine, the doctor also said that you need to walk properly so that you can get better faster."
"That's right, that's fine."
Nan Yan smiled and said: "Xin Ping, take your young lady to the Imperial Garden to play for a while."
"OK!"
"Remember, you are not allowed to run around, if you see ladies from various palaces, you must salute."
"Know it!"
Xinping happily took Gu Qiqing's hand and walked out.
Before Gu Qiqing left, he did not forget to salute Nanyan.
Nan Yan nodded, and asked Nian Qiu to follow. The backs of the three quickly disappeared outside the door.
After they left, Nan Yan turned her head, looked at Si Muzhen who was sitting at the side, and looked her up and down. Although she said that the timing of entering the palace was rushed, her makeup was very delicate. The clothes on his body are also new.
Obviously, it was deliberately dressed up.
Nan Yan said with a smile that was not a smile: "I'm afraid that you will be tired of visiting relatives that day."
Si Muzhen immediately said: "Your Majesty, you are serious."
"Mother, is she okay?"
"Well?"
Si Muzhen opened her eyes wide, and looked at Nan Yan with a puzzled expression, as if she didn't know what her question meant.
Ran Xiaoyu on the side frowned.
Everyone knows that it must be Simlan's business that Nanyan asked Gu Tingchun like this. She dealt with Simlan mercilessly. The family dared not say anything, but they still wanted to ask her mother how she felt.
Originally, the words were too short-lived.
But Si Muzhen looked blank, as if she didn't know what she was asking at all, but wanted the imperial concubine to repeat how she punished her sister, this—
It's too dumb!
However, Nan Yan was also calm and said, "Si Mulan has already been imprisoned in the clothing bureau, is mother still sad for her?"
"oh… "
Si Muzhen had a comprehensible expression on her face, and immediately said: "Mother is sad, but thunder, rain and dew are all God's grace, and the daughter of the people still understands it very well."
"..."
Nan Yan looked at her, and said with a half-smile, "It's fine if you think so."
After speaking, Ran Xiaoyu brought them hot tea and snacks.
Holding the tea in her hand, Si Muzhen turned her head to look around again, as if she was looking for something. Seeing this, Nanyan asked, "Why, what are you looking for?"
Si Muzhen turned her head and said, "The daughter of the people is watching, where is the emperor?"
"..."
Everyone in Yikun Palace was stunned for a moment.
No one expected that she would ask such a question.
As the sisters of imperial concubines, it is really a bit ignorant to ask the emperor directly like this.
A gleam of anger had already flashed across Ran Xiaoyu's face, but Nan Yan was still calm, with a faint smile, and said: "You are looking for the emperor, what's the matter?"
Si Muzhen immediately smiled and said: "The min'er is fine, but I heard that the empress is very favored in the palace, the min'er thought that the emperor would always be by her side to accompany the empress."
"..."
Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.
Neither spoke.
Nan Yan said calmly: "You all know that thunder, rain, and dew are all God's grace. There are times when I am favored, and naturally there are also times when I am not favored."
"..."
"Besides, no matter how much the emperor loves me, he won't be by my side for twelve hours a day."
There was a little smile in Si Muzhen's eyes.
"The girl knows."
