In the evening, Mr. Tu returned to the palace.
He first went to see Zhu Feng, told the general situation of the Si family, and then went to Yeting.
It was rare for Nanyan to rest today, but it was not easy either.
Because, the Shangyi Supervisor and the Imperial Supervisor brought all the clothes and jewelry made specially for her for her to try out.
Only then did Nan Yan know that the imperial concubine's dresses were layered upon layers, there were so many sets.
Wearing it on her body, it was like a big stone was pressed on her body, which almost made her breathless, plus the hair crown on her head, and those heavy golden hairpins.
Her neck was about to be broken.
After finally dealing with these people, she was so tired that she lost half her life, leaning against the bed and humming.
At this time, Grandpa Tu's voice came from the door—
"Mistress."
When Nan Yan heard this, she hurriedly got up from the bed, walked over to open the door, and saw Mrs. Tu standing at the door, looking at her with a smile: "Miss Si, please be polite."
"Eunuch, you are back."
"Yeah, our family just came back from Miss Secretary's house."
"Elder-in-law has worked hard."
"Where is it, the emperor's order, dare not speak bitterly."
Nan Yan hurriedly welcomed him in, and went to pour tea for him. Eunuch Tu hurriedly said, "Oh, don't dare, the lady officer is about to be canonized, it is so precious, how dare our family bother the lady officer?" Woolen cloth?"
Nan Yan smiled shyly.
She asked, "Has the father-in-law met my grandmother?"
Eunuch Tu smiled and said, "I see. The old man is very energetic."
"Really? Then she knows, do I want to accept the canonization?"
"I know, I know."
"Did she say anything?"
"Of course, I'm happy for Miss Secretary."
Eunuch Tu said with a smile: "It's a great event for the female officer to be conferred the title of noble concubine, and it's an unexpected blessing."
Nan Yan smiled.
Eunuch Tu said again: "By the way, the old lady asked our family to bring this letter to Miss Si."
After speaking, he took out the letter from his pocket.
Although at this time, this letter has already been replaced.
But he didn't know it at all, and handed it to Nan Yan respectfully, Nan Yan said in surprise: "This letter—was it from my grandmother?"
"Yes."
"..."
"Originally, the old lady wanted to hand over this letter to the female official, but there are palace rules in the palace. The female official's family can only watch the ceremony at the grand ceremony, and they have to meet after the canonization."
"..."
"The old lady can only entrust our family to do it for her."
"Oh, I see."
Nanyan nodded, and was very happy, after all, this was the first time she received a letter from her family, and it was from her grandmother.
Ever since she got old and became confused, grandma even started talking incoherently, and often couldn't remember what she had done, so how could she write letters or something
Therefore, even though she was alone in the palace, Nan Yan never expected to receive letters from her family.
Unexpectedly, before the canonization, a letter could be received.
She happily put the letter on her chest, and said to Tu Gong: "Thank you, Eunuch."
As he said that, he went to the other side and took a piece of broken silver and stuffed it into his hand. Eunuch Tu hurriedly said, "Oh, it's a blessing for our family to be able to help the female officer. How can I accept your money?"
Nan Yan smiled and said: "Grandpa Tu, you have worked hard to go back and forth, this little bit of silver can be used as tea money for your father-in-law."
"..."
"Besides, in the future I will be in this palace, and my father-in-law will take care of me a lot."
Hearing what she said, Tu Gonggong smiled and said: "Look at what the female officer said, in a few days, the female officer will become a noble concubine. At that time, it is our family who begs you to take care of me."
With that said, he stuffed the money into his pocket.
"Our family is greedy for money."
Nan Yan smiled and sent him away.
As soon as he left, Nan Yan hurried back and opened the letter, opened it to have a look—
It turned out that it was some words of blessing.
Nan Yan was a little strange, she thought that her grandmother had asked Eunuch Tu to bring her into the palace, maybe to explain something to her, but in the end, it was just some innocuous words of blessing.
Of course, this is also the heart of the grandmother.
She read the letter over and over again, thought about it, then carefully folded the letter paper and put it back in the envelope.

In a blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of May.
Before dawn, Nanyan started to rise.
Today is the big day for canonization, and there are too many things to do. She went to bed early last night under Zhu Feng's personal confession and under Ran Xiaoyu's forced supervision, so she woke up early this morning very energetic.
Go take a shower first.
The bath soup with flower petals was fragrant and pleasant, and the whole body was washed slippery and exuded fragrance. Several court ladies smeared special fragrance for her.
One of the maids said with a smile: "This fragrance can make the skin moist and fair, the emperor will definitely love it."
Nan Yan blushed with shame.
Then, put on a beautiful dress.
This is not a formally canonized dress, but it is already very gorgeous, as if all the colorful clouds in the sky have been embroidered on this dress.
Ran Xiaoyu was by her side, looking at her delicate makeup.
After a while, he sighed softly: "You are so pretty."
Nan Yan smiled at her in the mirror.
It is an old saying that a woman is the one who pleases herself, and it seems very far away, but once she falls in love, this feeling travels through thousands of years and reaches her body.
Ran Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile, and then urged her with a straight face: "Okay, it's time to go."
"Um."
Getting up early in the morning is not for anything else, but to go to the altar and worship the ancestors.
Eunuch Yu led the way, while Ran Xiaoyu was always by her side.
The team left the palace gate and went all the way unimpeded, but it didn't take too long to arrive at the altar of sacrifice. In fact, it was because today's canonization was to be canonized, so the guards of the imperial city cleared the streets in advance.
When Nanyan arrived at the Great Sacrifice Altar, it was only three quarters of the hour.
According to the rules, she respectfully offered incense and sacrificed wine.
Then kowtow.
All of this went very smoothly.
When he came out, Dongfang had just revealed a little white belly, and Eunuch Yu said with a smile: "The time is just right, at this time, the female officer—oh no, your family is already coming to the palace."
Nan Yan blushed a little and said, "I haven't been canonized yet."
"..."
"Eunuch Yu, don't call me so early."
Eunuch Yu smiled, and then said: "Then, Lady Officer, it's time for us to go back."
"Um."
Nan Yan nodded, supported by Ran Xiaoyu, was about to go out, when she turned her head, she suddenly saw a large hall on the other side.
In the main hall, countless candles were lit.
The candlelight was shining, shining in the hall, faintly, one could see the golden light shining inside.
Extra dazzling.
Nan Yan asked curiously, "Hey, what's that place?"
