Soon, the sun went down.
Nan Yan sat in front of the dressing table, waited until Nian Qiu pinned the last hairpin to her bun, and then slowly stood up.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "Your Majesty, it's about time, it's time to go to Chengqian Palace."
Nan Yan nodded.
Just about to get up, Aunt Tongyun came over again, subconsciously glanced at Nanyan's arm, and said softly: "Tonight, I don't know what will happen. Empress, be careful in everything."
Nan Yan smiled: "Don't worry."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "With me here, who would dare to touch her?"
Aunt Tongyun sighed helplessly, and said: "Xiaoyu, don't fight and kill all day long, this is in the palace, and it is also in Chengqian Palace."
"..."
"Now, you belong to the empress. If you are impulsive, the empress will be the one who will be implicated."
These two days, this is not the first time I heard her nagging.
Ran Xiaoyu sighed softly as if admitting defeat: "Understood."
Nan Yan smiled, and led her out of Yikun Palace, Ting Fu was holding a lantern in front, and after a while, they arrived at Chengqian Palace.
Although the sky is not completely dark yet, the lights here are already brightly lit.
Because it was the emperor and the king of Wei who hosted the banquet, there were countless busy people coming and going in the palace. Nan Yan walked in slowly and saw that the tables and tables had been set in the hall.
The one directly above is naturally the emperor and empress.
A smaller table next to it is the owner of Chengqian Palace, King Wei.
The tables on both sides are naturally prepared for these concubines.
At this time, another young eunuch ran in and ordered: "One more table, tonight, the emperor will let Mrs. Jane come over."
Nan Yan glanced back.
Those people immediately went to work.
Let Jian Ruocheng come over
This is not surprising, Jian Ruocheng has been conferred the title of Dongge University Bachelor today, and his status can be regarded as the teacher of half the prince.
Of course he should show up.
Just as I was thinking, a familiar voice came from beside me—
"The imperial concubine."
Nan Yan turned her head and saw that it was Wei Wang Zhu Chengxuan walking over.
I haven't seen him for a few days, but the child has grown taller again, but is still thin. Although he is wearing the prince's clothes, he can't stop his scholarly air.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei."
Zhu Chengxuan came over and said with a smile: "I haven't been able to go to Yikun Palace to congratulate the noble concubine these days, please forgive me."
Nan Yan forced a smile and said: "Your Highness canonization is a major event, so of course don't be distracted by these trivial matters."
Zhu Chengxuan nodded, then looked at Ran Xiaoyu behind her: "Sister Xiaoyu."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei called the servants like that, it offends me."
Zhu Chengxuan said: "That's what I used to call it."
"..."
"Even if I'm King Wei now, I'm still me."
Hearing what he said, Nan Yan nodded slightly.
The most rare thing for a person is not to lose his heart.
Now, Zhu Chengxuan didn't change anything because of his ascent and fall. On the contrary, his eyes seemed a little clearer than before.
This, of course, is a good thing.
But in this complicated harem, perhaps, it's not a very good thing.
At this time, other concubines also arrived one after another.
The first one to walk in was Xia Yunting.
Fulan followed behind her, and as soon as she walked in, she frowned when she saw Nanyan standing inside.
Because of that basket of red bayberries, she lay on the bed for several days.
Can't eat or drink water, that kind of feeling, like in hell.
Therefore, when she saw Nanyan, it was like seeing an evil spirit in hell. Her eyes turned red and she immediately turned her head to the side.
Then, several other concubines also walked in.
They came to salute the imperial concubine one after another.
Then, the queen came.
Nan Yan immediately led them forward together: "Meet the empress."
"Get up."
Xu Miaoyin walked in with a smile, and King Wei immediately stepped forward to salute: "I pay homage to my mother."
Xu Miaoyin held his hand, walked all the way in, and said with a smile: "The emperor has grown up."
Zhu Chengxuan said: "It's all the mother's careful care."
"Now that you are the king of Wei, the queen mother can't take care of you anymore."
"..."
"The road ahead, you have to go by yourself."
"The sons and ministers would like to follow the teachings of the queen mother."
When they walked in, Xu Miaoyin looked around again, and then her eyes fell on Nan Yan: "It seems that the imperial concubine hasn't gone out for the past two days."
Nan Yan said softly: "Please forgive me, Empress. I have been feeling a little heavy in the past two days."
"oh."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Wan next to her smiled and said: "The emperor has never been to Yikun Palace, the imperial concubine should be at ease."
When everyone heard this, some couldn't help laughing.
The noble concubine was canonized, but she never even served her bed.
This is indeed a joke in the harem.
Xu Miaoyin coughed lightly, and said, "Concubine Zhuang, don't mention this."
Wu Wan smiled and said, "Yes."
Then, everyone walked in.
Ran Xiaoyu took a step forward, walked carefully to Nan Yan's side, and said softly, "Your Majesty—"
Nan Yan calmly raised her hand to stop her from continuing, and said flatly, "It's okay."
A group of people walked inside, and immediately saw a room full of gift boxes piled up like a mountain. Zhu Chengxuan said a little shyly: "Because I'm too busy today, I haven't packed up the things sent by the girls."
There are some congratulatory gifts, which are placed on the bright side.
Jade carving cabbage, coral trees, or some famous calligraphy and paintings.
After all, it is the first prince of this dynasty to be canonized as king, and the congratulatory gifts sent by each family are all generous.
Wu Wan, Gao Yurong, and Xia Yunting were also walking in the crowd, but all three looked at a brocade box on the other side in unison.
It looks like it hasn't been opened yet.
Gao Yurong smiled and said, "Hey, who is this congratulatory gift from?"
Nan Yan turned her head and took a look.
Zhu Chengxuan smiled and said: "This is a congratulatory gift from the imperial concubine."
"oh… "
Everyone's eyes became a little frivolous again.
Wu Wan smiled and said: "Everyone has seen the congratulatory gifts, but I don't know what kind of rare thing the imperial concubine sent."
"this-"
Zhu Chengxuan hesitated for a moment.
Everyone did read all the congratulatory gifts, because those congratulatory gifts were all on the bright side.
But this brocade box, even he himself has not had time to open it.
Just opening it here would embarrass the imperial concubine.
It was Nan Yan who said with a smile: "Why, Zhuang Concubine wants to see what congratulatory gift this palace gave His Highness?"
Gao Yurong immediately smiled and said: "My lord, forgive me, the concubine waits just to gain insight."
Wu Wan said again: "If the empress is afraid of being seen by others, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't open it."
Ran Xiaoyu who was standing aside clenched her fists.
But as soon as Nan Yan stretched out his hand, he grabbed her fist and squeezed it lightly.
Ran Xiaoyu hesitated, and let go of her hand.
Then, Nan Yan smiled and said: "Alright, since everyone has read it, it doesn't make sense not to read my palace's one. If Your Highness doesn't mind, just open it."
