At this moment, Ran Xiaoyu came in from outside sweating profusely.
Seeing her, Nan Yan immediately asked, "Where did you get so sweaty?"
Panting, Ran Xiaoyu said, "Is it tea? Give it to me quickly, I'm dying of thirst."
Nan Yan hurriedly handed her the teacup, and Ran Xiaoyu drank it in a few sips, but it was not enough, so she picked up the teapot and took a few sips.
Finally feel a little more comfortable.
She let out a long breath.
Nan Yan said: "What's wrong with you?"
Ran Xiaoyu said: "Accompany His Highness to practice archery."
"Why are you so tired and sweaty?"
"His Highness has been very diligent recently. He obediently draws his bow at least 500 times a day, and has been standing under the sun to shoot arrows. I have no choice but to accompany him."
After hearing this, Nan Yan smiled and said, "This is very good."
"Yes," Ran Xiaoyu said, "It's a good thing His Highness is willing to work hard."
"..."
"It's just that when he returns to Jinling, he seems to be a different person."
Nan Yan thought for a while, and said with a smile: "This time, the emperor brought him back to Jinling, and he has already issued a decree to canonize him as King of Wei on the fifteenth day of next month. This is a kind of affirmation for him."
"..."
"In my heart, I also have motivation."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "So that's how it is."
"You have worked hard recently."
"I'm not working hard, it's my life."
The two laughed.
Ran Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the side, and said: "By the way, I also heard that the emperor will make you a concubine next month. Hearing what the queen wants, when the time comes, he will transfer me to Yikun. Go to the palace and follow you."
"real?"
Nan Yan looked back at her in surprise.
But after thinking about it, he closed his mouth carefully.
Ran Xiaoyu rolled her eyes: "What are you thinking?"
"… nothing."
"Are you afraid that I will be narrow-minded, and think that we are the same before, and I will be unwilling if you order me around in the future?"
When she said it so directly, Nan Yan's original "narrow-mindedness" suddenly vanished.
She smiled: "You won't."
Ran Xiaoyu glared at her again: "You have a conscience in what you say."
"..."
"If you dare to think of me as Xia Yunting's double-faced villain, hmph!"
Nan Yan was so happy that she stepped forward and hugged her: "No, no."
"..."
"How can you be double-faced and three-handed? You just cut it once, and you cut it once."
Ran Xiaoyu was so amused by her that she wanted to laugh, but tried to hold back, and said with a straight face: "Relax, it's hot!"
The two laughed and quarreled for a while, and then had dinner.
Probably because she was too tired to practice archery with Zhu Chengxuan today, Ran Xiaoyu went to bed early to rest, and slept until dawn, Nanyan was up, and she was still lying down.
Nan Yan walked to her bed and said softly, "Xiaoyu, it's time to get up."
Ran Xiaoyu glanced at her lazily and said, "It's still early."
"It is late."
"I am so tired… "
"What's wrong? Are you sick?"
Nan Yan worriedly stretched out her hand to touch her forehead, but she didn't have a fever, but she felt that her breathing was soft, as if she was really tired.
Nan Yan said: "Are you going to be an errand in the Yonghe Palace today? If you don't feel well, I'll help you to ask the Empress for leave."
"..."
Ran Xiaoyu squinted her eyes again, and said after a while: "The empress has already told me not to go to the Yonghe Palace."
"..."
"Recently, I just practice martial arts with His Highness."
"..."
"But today, it seems that there is no need to go to court, Ye Zheng said... Today, he will take His Highness to familiarize himself with the situation in the palace..."
Nan Yan said: "Look at how out of breath you look. How about it, I'll help you to talk to His Highness and Ye Zheng."
Ran Xiaoyu was silent for a while, then said, "Pour me a glass of water."
Nan Yan hastily poured a glass of water and brought it to her mouth. After she drank it, she gritted her teeth and got up from the bed, saying, "I still have to go. We martial arts practitioners cannot be defeated by laziness."
Nan Yan looked at her with some admiration.
He asked in a low voice, "Is it really all right?"
Ran Xiaoyu shook her head: "Get up and move around and you should be fine."
Nan Yan helped her get dressed, washed up and ate something, Ran Xiaoyu seemed to wake up a little bit, and the two left Ye Zheng and went to their respective destinations.
She went to the Hall of Martial Arts.
Because he had been away from Jinling for a long time and had accumulated a lot of things, Zhu Feng had been immersing himself in dealing with his state affairs, reviewing memorials, while Nanyan stayed on the sidelines without making a fuss, pouring tea, pouring water, studying ink and sorting out the documents.
When everything was finally dealt with and it was time to go back, Zhu Feng said, "By the way, fresh red bayberries were delivered from below today."
When Nan Yan heard it, her saliva sprang up unconsciously.
Seeing her greedy face, Zhu Feng couldn't help laughing.
Said: "There are not many things, just a few baskets."
"… oh."
"I asked them to send you a basket."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nan Yan immediately beamed with joy.
Zhu Feng also smiled, but said: "Don't eat too much, it's not good to eat too much."
"The servant knows."
After hearing this, Nan Yan happily ran to Yeting.
As soon as she arrived at Yeting, she saw two young eunuchs put a basket of red bayberries into her room, wiped her sweat and said with a smile: "Miss officer, I put the things here."
Nan Yan said: "You two have worked hard."
The two young eunuchs also knew that Nan Yan was about to be canonized, so they smiled flatteringly: "The emperor really dotes on the female officer now."
"This fresh red bayberry is a basket when you give it away."
"Yeah, some people can't catch even one of these things."
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment: "Who is it?"
"Who else is there, Xia Zhaoyi from Shou'an Palace."
"That's right, the emperor asked to send a basket to you first, and after a short calculation, one basket was short, so she won't send it to you."
"oh… "
When Nan Yan heard this, she only smiled, grabbed some money and stuffed it into their hands, and the two young eunuchs left with gratitude.
Looking at the fresh red bayberry in the bamboo basket, Nan Yan couldn't stop drooling.
However, why didn't Ran Xiaoyu come back
She wanted to wait for her to come back and eat together.
Thinking of Ran Xiaoyu's dazed expression and staggering gait when she went out this morning, Nan Yan simply walked to Chengqian Palace, wanting to see her.
All the way to divide the flowers and blow the willows.
After a while, they arrived at Chengqian Palace, but as soon as they reached the gate of the palace, they saw two people hugging each other behind the gate.
It is a man and a woman.
Nan Yan's cheeks turned red immediately.
She, of course, knew something about the relationship between men and women, and also knew that the maids and eunuchs in the palace would have "opposite meals" when they were lonely and unbearable.
In this case, she naturally avoided it.
Hastily turned his head to one side.
However, there was a click in my mind.
That man doesn't seem to be wearing eunuch's clothes.
And that woman—
