At this time, Si Muzhen said: "Your Majesty, today is the Lantern Festival, why didn't you see the Emperor come to accompany you?"
As soon as she said this, the pavilion fell silent.
Aunt Tongyun and Nianqiu frowned.
However, after all, she is the younger sister of the imperial concubine, even if she is unruly, she does not have the part of their slaves to reprimand her, so she can only endure it. But Nan Yan turned her head to look at her, and smiled faintly: "Didn't I say that the emperor is always by my side?"
"oh… "
Si Muzhen looked at her with an innocent expression, tilting her head: "But the emperor has always doted on the empress."
Nan Yan smiled and said: "The emperor has more important things to do besides pampering me."
"That is-"
"Deal with government affairs."
"affairs of state?"
"Yes, the Great Yan Dynasty is so big, with thousands of people, so many things happen every day, if it is abandoned, the country will be in chaos."
Si Muzhen nodded straightly.
But he sneered in his heart: With so many excuses, isn't this man still not by your side? It seems that you are not as favored as you boasted before.
If I were a noble concubine—she thought: I must let this man be by my side all the time, be intimate with him every day, and never leave me for a moment.
Nan Yan glanced at her twinkling eyes and smiled faintly.
He turned his head away again, wanting to drink tea from a teacup.
Si Muzhen graciously held the teacup into her hand, Nan Yan smiled, but saw Si Muzhen asked again: "Then, empress, is the emperor still in the imperial study today?"
Nan Yan lowered her head to drink tea, and casually said, "Yes."
"oh… "
Si Muzhen nodded slightly.
The pavilion fell silent again.
Aunt Tongyun and Nianqiu, who were standing behind them, looked at each other coldly.
Several children on the ice are still playing.
After falling down a few times, Zhu Chengxuan was finally able to stand still, but it was not enough to stand firm, he had to be able to move. Since he was fifteen years old, his figure had grown a lot, and he was thinner. Naturally, it is difficult for tall people to control their balance on the ice.
So, walking staggeringly, like a tree being swayed by the wind.
As for Xinping, although he is short and stocky, it is not easy for him to fall.
But she is young after all, no matter how much she teaches, she can't master complicated techniques, so she can only be taken to the ice by the young lady's thigh along the way.
But she was very courageous, she couldn't stand still and laughed at her clumsy brother.
Seeing it, Zhu Chengxuan fell down again.
Gu Qiqing laughed so hard that he almost lost his strength, so he could only let Xinping stand first and slide over by himself.
Zhu Chengxuan had also lost his temper after being thrown, sitting on the ice and laughing, at this moment, an arm stretched out, he looked up, it was Gu Qiqing who put the arm in front of him, and said softly: "Your Highness can Grab Minnv's arm and take your time."
"..."
Zhu Chengxuan looked at her, his heart warmed, and he immediately grabbed her arm.
The thin arms supported him to stand up, and then Gu Qiqing taught him how to slide slowly on the ice bit by bit.
Seeing the two of them supporting each other, Nan Yan smiled, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
What a couple.
At this moment, Si Muzhen, who had been keeping quiet all this time, took a step forward and said softly, "Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan stopped laughing and looked back at her: "Huh?"
Si Muzhen pointed to the front and said: "Madam, the scenery over there seems to be pretty good, can a girl go there and have a look?"
"..."
As soon as Nan Yan heard her speak, Aunt Tong Yun and Nian Qiu beside her immediately frowned.
here we go again
This Miss Si family is too reckless.
The few times she entered the palace, she came uninvited. The last time she followed her to the Imperial Study, she disappeared halfway, and when she found her, she was already not far from the Imperial Study.
Originally, this time, the empress was here, and everyone thought she would be quieter.
Unexpectedly, she asked to go to another place by herself.
Nian Qiu snorted coldly, and was about to speak when Nan Yan said with a smile: "Of course, you can go."
Aunt Tongyun's complexion changed.
She frowned and looked at Nan Yan, but she was smiling, as if this was just an ordinary request.
Si Muzhen was naturally overjoyed.
She turned around to leave, but Nian Qiu had already pulled a Wanniang face, stepped forward and said: "Madam, it's not convenient for Miss Si to be alone, why don't you let the slaves follow her."
When Simuzhen heard this, she immediately frowned.
Of course she could feel the hostility from the people of Yikun Palace towards her, especially last time, she used the excuse of getting lost and walked near the imperial study room. Later, when the maid named Nianqiu found her, she was displeased and kept staring at her. Go to the imperial garden.
Unexpectedly, today, she would come to spoil her own business.
I couldn't help cursing in my heart: What a biting dog!
But there was still a smile on his face and he said, "Well, why bother sister Nianqiu so much?"
Nian Qiu also smiled at her and said: "What's so troublesome. Besides, Miss Si is not very familiar with the palace, and she almost lost her way to the imperial study last time!"
She specially emphasized the word "Yushufang".
Then he said with a lukewarm smile: "The servants should follow her."
Si Muzhen knows very well that today is the Lantern Festival, after today, Gu Tingqiu will return to Beijing, once he comes back, let alone whether he can get close to Zhu Feng, he is afraid that he will not even allow him to enter the palace .
This is the last chance.
So he said: "Last time I just passed by without paying attention, I already know the way, and I can't make a mistake today."
What Nianqiu wanted to say, Si Muzhen had already taken the lead: "Sister Nianqiu is so worried about me?"
"..."
Hearing what she said, Nian Qiu paused.
Speaking of which, Si Muzhen is the younger sister of the imperial concubine after all, and as a servant herself, she dare not choke with her.
So, he turned his head to look at Nanyan.
Nan Yan sat on the stool, listening to them coming and going, talking like swords, finally calmed down at this moment, and she just smiled faintly.
Then he said: "Mu Zhen is right."
"...!"
"...!"
Both Aunt Tongyun and Nianqiu looked at her with wide eyes.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Since she won't go the wrong way, she doesn't have to follow. Nian Qiu, you should stay here, the children here need someone to take care of them."
Nian Qiu bit her lower lip, and could only respond: "Yes."
And Nan Yan slowly turned her head and looked at Si Muzhen: "Muzhen."
"The girl is here."
"You—don't wander around."
"..."
"If you go the wrong way in this palace, it's hard to turn back."
Si Muzhen was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Yes!"
After speaking, he turned and left the small pavilion.
