"In other words, this letter affects not only the harem."
Hearing this sentence, Ran Xiaoyu was startled.
She thought it was just a little trick by Concubine Kang and the others, just like the snuff bottle that Du Siyao made in the past, or like the medicine Xia Yunting gave them.
But listening to what Nanyan said, it seemed that things were not that simple.
That letter affected not only the harem.
That is to say, there is still the previous dynasty!
She lowered her voice and said, "What's going on?"
"..."
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then shook her head: "I don't know what was written in this letter, but if it affects the previous dynasty, we are powerless."
"..."
"Only—the Emperor."
"emperor?"
"Yes, if Concubine Kang and the others passed the news to Duke Cheng and contacted the officials in the court, then this matter cannot be resolved by us in the harem, only the emperor!"
She took a deep breath.
Sometimes, natural disasters and man-made disasters are unavoidable, and no one knows whether their next step will be a road full of flowers or a fork full of thorns.
The important thing is how the people around you will accompany you to go on.
At this moment, Eunuch Yu outside said softly: "Your Majesty, the canonization ceremony is about to begin."
Nan Yan raised her head and straightened her back.
"Let's go."

At this moment, the main gate of the palace opened.
The sun shines on the towering Fengtian Temple, and the colorful glazed tiles reflect dazzling light.
And in front of the main hall, on the extremely wide square, all the civil and military officials who came to congratulate, plus the wives inside and outside, as well as envoys from various countries, etc., all stood there.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the top of the altar, where the two canonized envoys, the official rites, the inscriptions and the precious inscriptions were displayed on the case one by one.
The movements are slow and dignified.
Among the civil and military officials, some officials are already ready to move.
Wu Ding approached his father Wu Yingqiu cautiously, and said softly: "Father stay here for a while, do you really want to attack the noble concubine?"
Wu Yingqiu said coldly: "Haven't been canonized, what kind of concubine?"
"..."
"Even if the emperor wants to be canonized, such a woman is not worthy of being a noble concubine."
"..."
"This matter, the old man will never tolerate it!"
Wu Yingqiu said, and said: "Don't forget, the court is currently employing people. If the emperor accepts that woman as a noble concubine, the Si family will definitely gain momentum, and the Gu family will definitely be reused."
"..."
"In that case, the status of our Wu family will definitely be affected."
Wu Ding thought for a while, then said softly: "Yes."
One of Wu Yingqiu's disciples came forward and whispered in his ear: "Duke, everyone already understands. For a while, just follow the orders of the Duke."
Wu Yingqiu nodded.
Among the crowd on the other side, Si Muyun whispered to Gu Tingchun: "Mother, didn't uncle say he's coming? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Gu Tingchun said: "He has already hurried to Jinling."
"..."
"But counting, the soonest it has to be is tonight."
"oh."
Simu Yun nodded, he suddenly took a look around and said, "Where's Mu Lan?"
Gu Tingchun froze for a moment, then looked around.
Only then did they realize that they hadn't seen Simulan since the very beginning.
Confused: "Where did this girl go?"
Si Muyun thought of Simu Lan's attitude before, and her strange behavior when she entered the palace today, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Nothing will happen to her, will she
Today is a big day for concubine concubine, if she really makes trouble, I'm afraid something big will happen!
Gu Tingchun said anxiously: "Hurry up and send someone to find her."
Simu Yun also had some headaches.
This is the imperial palace, not their Si family, where can I find someone.
At this moment, a grand sound of drums came from far away from the palace.
At this moment, Nan Yan, wearing an elegant imperial concubine's gown, was standing inside the palace gate, to the right, to greet her. The court lady came forward, and after kneeling down, she whispered to her: "My lady, please."
Nan Yan nodded and followed her slowly forward.
After a while, they arrived in front of Fengtian Temple.
At this moment, under the main hall, everyone's eyes were on her.
The sun seemed to be focused on her.
She is like a crane with golden feathers, standing gracefully in front of the majestic hall, her originally delicate face now looks solemn, and the gold and jade all over her body not only set off her luxurious temperament, but also give her a sense of aloofness, overlooking Vientiane momentum.
Everyone was stunned.
Even Gu Tingchun and Si Muyun were speechless.
The person in front of them was obviously Si Nanyan, the yellow-haired girl they had grown up with, but why didn't they seem to recognize her
All of a sudden, she was different!
When Tong Yuhua saw this scene, a gratified smile appeared on his old face.
She murmured: "My girl..."
"..."
"You are always a blessing."
"..."
"In this world, there is always someone who can match you."
At this time, the courtesan of the ceremony said loudly: "The imperial concubine worships the heaven and the earth."
Nan Yan turned around slowly, facing the north, stretched out her arms, and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times respectfully.
Ran Xiaoyu and the others immediately walked over and helped her up.
While looking up at this scene, out of the corner of Si Muyun's eyes, he suddenly saw on the other side, where the courtiers were standing in line, some people were walking forward, and when he took a closer look, it was none other than Cheng Guogong.
And some of his protégés.
How is this going
The emperor didn't let them go forward, and it seemed that it was not time for the officials to congratulate them for the following canonization ceremony.
What are they doing up there
He frowned.
The court lady came forward again and said loudly, "Read the book."
The Grand Scholar walked over, picked up the canonized document from the case, and read aloud: "The world is smooth, and everything begins—"
At this moment, suddenly, a voice came from the side, saying loudly: "Slow down!"
Everyone was shocked.
Everyone turned their heads and saw a figure walking slowly from the side of the hall.
It was none other than Concubine Kang Wu Wan!
Seeing her, Nan Yan's face darkened.
She immediately stepped forward, walked in front of Wu Wan, and said calmly: "Concubine Kang, today is my canonization ceremony, please don't obstruct it."
After speaking, with a wave of his hand, Ran Xiaoyu immediately brought a few court ladies forward.
"Concubine Kang please go back."
Concubine Kang said loudly: "Si Nanyan, I'm not trying to stop you from being canonized, I'm just going to announce a big event to the emperor and the world."
After finishing speaking, she turned around and said loudly to everyone: "Si Nanyan cannot enter the harem as a concubine."
"..."
"Because she is from the country!"
