In the past, the two of them were openly ridiculed, tit-for-tat, even because of the old grandmother, Nan Yan publicly got angry with her, but now that they have this child, the relationship between the two has eased a little.
Strange, the child obviously didn't do anything.
Nan Yan thought for a while and said, "During the time before my grandmother passed away, Concubine Ning often visited her, right?"
Qin Ruolan said calmly: "I hope your concubine, please don't blame me."
At this time, Nan Yan actually calmed down.
Said: "During that time, my palace was in a special situation, and I couldn't stay with her old man every day. Concubine Ning often visited her to relieve her loneliness."
"..."
"Actually, Bengong, I should thank you."
"The imperial concubine is serious."
"There is one thing I want to ask you."
"My dear concubine, please ask."
Nan Yan looked at Qin Ruolan, and said with a slightly solemn expression: "During the time you went to visit her old man's house, did she tell you anything? About your Qin family."
Qin Ruolan frowned slightly between her spring willow-like brows.
The question seemed to be on her mind.
Nan Yan originally had scorching eyes, paying attention to the slightest expression on her face, but at this moment she saw her looking at him with a complicated expression, she was silent for a while, and said, "Yes."
Nan Yan hurriedly asked: "What did she say?"
Qin Ruolan looked solemn, and said word by word: "She is an old man, she mentioned my aunt, Concubine Qin."
"...!"
Nan Yan's heart seemed to be hit hard.
That's right, during the period before Tong Yuhua passed away, she seemed to be in a very trance, and she mentioned it in front of her more than once-"the girl of the Qin family", "Qin Guifei".
Nan Yan asked: "What did she say about her?"
Qin Ruolan replied: "The old man may have said something about the past, but because she was a little seriously ill and her speech was slurred, so I couldn't understand it very well. I only know one thing—"
"What?"
"She seems to have a deep impression of my aunt, but she keeps secrets about some past events."
Nan Yan only felt her heart beating like thunder.
Her body was already seriously injured, and once she was stressed or stressed, she would feel mentally weak.
Unknowingly, breathing has become a little cramped.
Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly asked: "Ma'am, are you alright?"
Nan Yan waved her hand, looked at Qin Ruolan again, and said, "Then you—about your aunt, Concubine Qin Gui, how much do you know about her?"
Speaking of this, Qin Ruolan also frowned.
She looked at Nan Yan hesitantly: "Why are the imperial concubine and Mrs. Si both so interested in my aunt?"
Nan Yandao: "I just want to know."
"..."
"If Concubine Ning doesn't mind, can you tell me about it?"
Qin Ruolan looked at her for a while, thought for a while, and then said, "Actually, I don't know much about my aunt. She passed away a long time ago."
"..."
"My father also told me about her."
"..."
"In the past, the imperial concubine once said that the concubine came from a famous family. In fact, this is not true. The concubine's birth is not considered a famous family. Because my father and aunt used to belong to Luo Xingwen."
Hearing the name Luo Xingwen, Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
It was Qin Ruolan who said lightly, "The imperial concubine is sure she doesn't know about this person."
"certainly… "
Luo Xingwen was the one who fought against Emperor Gao back then.
Now, the reason why there is such a situation on Xingluo Lake is because of him.
It turned out that the Qin family originally came from his subordinates.
Qin Ruolan continued: "Father said that he, his aunt, and Luo Xingwen were sworn brothers and sisters. When they rebelled against the country, they were originally together. But later, the war was stalemate. In order to fight the enemy together, they and Gao The emperor's forces are united."
"..."
"Father and aunt have done a lot for the alliance of the two forces."
Nan Yan couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
We must know that when we are born in troubled times, many people will complain about others, and only those with aspirations will plunge into the raging torrent and do their part.
Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine Qin Xixi was also such a person.
Really rare, a strange woman.
And because of their efforts, Luo Xingwen and Emperor Gao joined forces and became comrades-in-arms fighting side by side; however, after expelling the forces from the Central Plains, the two of them became contenders for power.
Nan Yandao: "Then—"
"Later, I heard from my father that it might be because of some ideological issues that caused them to drift away from Luo Xingwen, and they became subordinate to Emperor Gao."
"oh… "
Of course.
Otherwise, Qin Zhengqi would not become a scholar of Dongge University, nor would Qin Xixi become a noble concubine.
Of course, these are also what they deserve.
Nan Yan said: "Then, why did Concubine Qin die early, and besides, there is hardly any news about her?"
Qin Ruolan glanced at her, and then said, "I don't know about that either."
"My lord..."
"He won't tell."
"..."
"It's just that I have to go to Xingluo Lake every year to offer incense and visit the grave of my aunt."
In other words, Qin Ruolan didn't know about Qin Guifei's death or other things about her.
Nan Yan let out a somewhat disappointed "Oh".
At this moment, the little Princess Anping in her arms suddenly burst into tears with a "wow".
Nan Yan was startled, and hurriedly hugged the baby to coax her, but the little Princess Anping didn't seem to appreciate it at all, she cried louder and louder, and kept tossing in her swaddling baby.
Nan Yan was already a little weak, and she couldn't carry the child after holding her for so long.
Ran Xiaoyu immediately said: "Let the slaves come."
Said, took the child over.
But the little princess made a fuss even more.
Although Ran Xiaoyu took care of her wholeheartedly, she was still an unmarried woman after all, and she had no way of coaxing a crying baby. On the other hand, Concubine Ning looked at it for a while, then said softly, "Let me do it."
She took the little princess, hugged her sideways, and gently patted the underside of the swaddle with one hand, moaning softly "ah".
After a while, the little princess stopped struggling and crying, and slowly fell asleep.
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her in surprise.
Qin Ruolan said calmly: "The child has to let her sleep after drinking the milk and resting for a while, otherwise she will be refreshed again at night."
"..."
"Children can't talk, they can only cry. Therefore, whether she is sleepy or thirsty, what she wants, as a mother, you can only experience it slowly. Mother and daughter are connected, and the imperial concubine and empress will slowly understand. understandable."
Nan Yan's mind was originally in a mess, but now it's even more chaotic.
She subconsciously asked: "Concubine Ning, how come you are so familiar with raising children?"
