Almost immediately, Nan Yan's mind came up with those words that she said when she saw Su Momo from Lenggong going to celebrate Concubine Ning's birthday that day outside Yanxi Palace.
They mentioned "the imperial concubine".
At that time, Nan Yan guessed that the imperial concubine they mentioned would definitely not be her.
And it may be the noble concubine of Emperor Gao's dynasty.
Now, seeing this stele, she was even more sure.
Concubine, Qin Xixi...
She is the concubine of Emperor Gao.
Her surname is Qin, and, on Qin Ruolan's birthday, Madam Su gave her things to Qin Ruolan, so who is Qin Ruolan's
Qin Xixi... This name is so delicate and sad.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Zhu Feng said in a deep voice, "What are you looking at?"
Nan Yan turned her head and saw him walking over.
She turned slightly.
Zhu Feng also saw the words on the tablet, and his expression froze slightly.
After a while, he seemed to let out a sigh of relief, and said, "So, it's here."
Nan Yan immediately heard something: "Your Majesty, you also know this person?"
After asking, she found it funny. As Emperor Gao's fourth son, how could Zhu Feng not know about Emperor Gao's concubines
However, Zhu Feng was silent for a while, but said: "I know her, but I have never seen her."
"ah… "
Nan Yan thought for a while, then turned to look at the monument.
Indeed, judging from the appearance of the stele, it has been erected for a long time, so, is this a noble concubine who died young
"How did the emperor know about her?"
"..."
Zhu Feng didn't speak immediately, but turned his head to look around, then pointed to a place not far ahead and said, "Because, he."
When he said this, his voice was slightly low.
Nan Yan looked in the direction of his finger, and there was also a stone tablet there.
The inscription—
Therefore, Qin Gong tabooed the tomb of Zhengqi.
Qin Zhengqi
This name seems a little familiar.
Nan Yan frowned as she thought about it, and suddenly thought that she seemed to have heard someone mention it before, that the Dongge University scholar in Emperor Gao's reign was called Qin Zhengqi!
She had heard about it before, and it was only because she heard about it. After all, it was already a matter of the previous dynasty, but today she saw the tombstone, and there were two tombstones.
Thinking about it again, I suddenly understood.
"This Duke Qin, he belongs to the imperial concubine—"
"younger brother."
"..."
"It's also my big brother's master."
Nan Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide.
By the way, she had also heard before that the Dongge University scholar in Emperor Gao's reign also held an official position, that is, Prince Shaoshi!
So to say-
Nan Yan's brows slowly wrinkled.
She thought for a while, then said softly: "Then, Qin Guifei, she belongs to the prince—"
Zhu Feng said lightly: "She has nothing to do with the prince. She left very early and did not leave a son or a daughter for Emperor Gao."
"..."
"So, her younger brother is the crown prince's solid backing."
"..."
This, of course.
As the prince's master, his elder sister did not give birth to the emperor's heirs, so according to the general situation, Qin Zhengqi naturally wanted to assist the prince, and this was also the job of the prince's young master.
So then-
Wouldn't Zhu Feng, who wanted to seize the world, be enemies with the power of the prince
Nan Yan's heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
She was silent for a long time, then said softly: "Then, what does Empress Ning have to do with them?"
Just when she asked this sentence, a clear but low voice suddenly came from behind—
"They are my father and aunt."
Upon hearing this voice, Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
She hurriedly turned her head back, only to see the clouds and mist dissipate, and a slender and beautiful figure slowly walked over from the mist.
It turned out to be Concubine Ning, Qin Ruolan!
Nan Yan said in amazement: "Concubine Ning? Why are you here?"
She couldn't believe her eyes, watching this beautiful woman slowly walking towards them, dressed in white, as if formed by condensation of mist, even her beauty became so ethereal.
Like a cloud fairy.
After Qin Ruolan said that, she didn't answer her question, but turned her head and looked at Zhu Feng.
Paying respects to him: "My concubine pays respects to the emperor."
Zhu Feng also turned his head, seeing her, he was not as surprised as Nan Yan.
He just said, "You're here too."
Zhu Feng looked down at her: "I just wondered whether you have come or not."
Qin Ruolan straightened up, and said calmly: "Usually at this time, there will be a Guanyin storm on the lake. I count the days and rest on the shore for a few days. I will not come here until the storm subsides."
"..."
"Just after landing, I heard that the emperor and the imperial concubine are also here."
Having said that, she turned around and said to Nan Yan, "I have seen the imperial concubine."
"..."
Nan Yan stood aside, looked at the two of them, and suddenly felt a little cold on her fingertips.
It turned out that Concubine Ning Qin Ruolan had also left the palace.
No wonder, when they left the palace that day, they saw a group of people leaving beside them, but Zhu Feng didn't care. Zhu Feng also knew from the tone of their words just now.
Along the way, there were constant messages from Concubine Ning.
Obviously, they are also exchanging news.
It turned out that they knew everything.
Only myself, I don't know anything.
Nan Yan subconsciously squeezed her cold fingertips, and saw Qin Ruolan slowly walking forward, she also held a bundle in her hand, put it on the ground, and peeled off layer by layer.
It turned out that there were also some incense candle offerings.
Nan Yan understood.
She came to pay homage to her father and aunt.
Zhu Feng allowed her to come, and, from what she said just now, she was very familiar with when a storm would appear on Xingluo Lake, and she was even able to accurately avoid the time when the storm would appear.
That said, she probably comes every year.
Nan Yan watched as she skillfully placed sacrifices in front of the two steles, sprinkled sacrificial wine, lit joss sticks, and worshiped and prayed silently by herself.
Probably, I really don't know how many times I have done it.
Zhu Feng stood behind her and watched silently.
It should be the first time for him to see Qin Ruolan come to pay homage to his relatives.
Qin Ruolan did those simple movements very skillfully, and they were even beautiful, especially in such a place surrounded by clouds and mist, she was so beautiful that she could not attract dust.
strangeness…
Nanyan herself has never cared about people's appearance.
Good-looking is good-looking, not good-looking is not good-looking.
However, it seems that from the first time she saw Qin Ruolan, she paid attention to her appearance, and even seemed to feel that her beauty was a bit compelling.
She watched Qin Ruolan finished worshiping, then slowly stood up, and turned to look at them.
Then, she said to Zhu Feng, "Your Majesty."
"Um?"
"Concubine, I have something to say, I want to speak to the emperor alone."
"..."
