According to what Madam Su said before, Concubine Qin followed Emperor Gao to participate in the last negotiation with Tan Kingdom, during which time, she fell ill and passed away.
It's a pity that she is not in this painting.
However, it's not surprising that the negotiation with the country is a formal occasion, and of course it's not appropriate for a concubine to show up under such circumstances. She followed the past, probably just serving Emperor Gao along the way.
It's just a pity.
If it is drawn, it would be nice to be able to draw her.
Speaking of which, although she has nothing to do with him, recently, she has appeared in his thoughts more and more frequently. Nanyan really wants to know what this noble concubine looks like.
Judging from Qin Ruolan's stunning appearance, as her aunt, Qin Guifei should not be bad.
After all, in Emperor Gao's harem, there are really beautiful women like clouds.
It's a pity, because Qin Xixi passed away too early, the palace didn't even leave much news and deeds about her, let alone portraits.
Nan Yan sighed lightly.
She raised her head, and looked at Bowang Hou Siboyan on the painting again.
He is really a handsome man. Although he is bookish, he does not look weak at all. On the contrary, he has the feeling of a Confucian general.
Thinking about how he traveled here and there for the founding of Emperor Gao, this person is definitely not just a frail scholar.
It would be great if I could see him again.
Seeing her looking at the painting so seriously, although Ran Xiaoyu didn't quite understand all the secrets, she also asked softly: "Your Majesty, if this painting is so important to Your Majesty, do you want to put it away?"
"No need."
Nan Yan looked up at the painting, shook her head and said, "Just hang it here, I'll look at it every day."
"..."
"Maybe, I can feel something."
"yes."

In two days, Princess Xinping will be half a year old.
Half a year old is not an integer, of course it doesn't have to be over.
Moreover, just because of Zhu Feng's unabashed love for Princess Xinping, the ministers have already objected.
Nan Yan knew that he not only rewarded things every three days, but even got up to do business in the imperial study with caution. It was often when the courtiers were talking about important matters righteously, and there was a bed-wetting noise from the inner room. The princess cried out.
At that time, no matter the sky was falling, Zhu Feng would remember to go in and change his daughter's diaper first.
The ministers of the DPRK and China have protested many times, and even wrote notes to criticize Zhu Feng. Of course, he ignored them one by one.
In this case, Nanyan will inevitably make a bad face.
Otherwise, if the fathers and mothers dote on their daughters too much, then this little girl will really turn upside down when she grows up.
So, regarding the matter of the princess being half a year old, Nan Yan quarreled vigorously with Zhu Feng all night, and finally got him to agree not to hold a big banquet, and not to give her daughter those golden and jade utensils.
However, Nanyan ignored one thing.
The emperor agreed to him.
However, no one inside or outside the palace listened to her.
Now everyone knows that the emperor loves this little princess most, even more than the king of Wei who may soon be crowned prince, so everyone naturally wants to catch up with this hot topic.
So, early in the morning, gifts from the ladies of the palaces were delivered.
When Nan Yan heard that the ladies from all the palaces had come and brought gifts piled up on the table, she couldn't laugh or cry.
She came out from the inner room, and sure enough, she saw that the Yikun palace was full of bright lights.
Xu Miaoyin brought all the concubines from the palaces to Yikun Palace.
She hastily stepped forward: "Meet the empress."
Xu Miaoyin smiled and said, "There is no need to be too polite."
Everyone also bowed to the concubine, Nanyan asked them to get up, everyone sat down, and asked Ran Xiaoyu and Nianqiu to serve tea quickly.
Xu Miaoyin said with a smile: "Our big battle today, I'm afraid the imperial concubine will be taken aback."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's true."
"Don't be afraid, it's just that everyone sees that the little princess is already half a year old, and there is no time to love her on weekdays, so take advantage of today to express your affection."
After speaking, someone brought up the gift list.
Nan Yan hurriedly picked it up, then said with a smile: "Empress Empress, and all the sisters are really going to torture that girl. How can she stand it?"
The concubine De on the other side smiled and said, "What are you talking about, the imperial concubine? Our little princess is the proud daughter of heaven, no matter how much she loves her, she can afford it."
Nan Yan shook her head: "Little boy, Fubo."
"That's not true," Xu Miaoyin said with a smile: "I saw the emperor holding the little princess yesterday, the little princess was rounder than before, and she was even more cute, like a porcelain doll."
Jieyu Liu Ying on the other side smiled and said: "I also think that the little princess looks very good, with a full heaven and a round earth, she is a blessed appearance."
…
Nan Yan laughed at what they said.
Although she also saw Concubine Kang Wu Wan sitting on the other side with a look of disdain. Obviously, she didn't want to come, let alone come to give gifts, but because the queen came with her head this time, it was equivalent to the harem. She couldn't think of a collective action, she didn't dare to offend the empress and concubine at the same time.
Gao Yurong beside her kept giving her winks.
So, Wu Wan turned her head and glanced at the brocade boxes piled up on the table next to her, and said in a neutral tone: "Yes, the little princess is blessed, she can bear these things!"
This is said, as if hoping to crush Xiaoping.
Nan Yan glanced at her.
Gao Yurong on the side was also worried that the atmosphere would become tense, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Hey, by the way, who gave this gift?"
Following her finger, everyone saw that there was a small brocade box among those piled up brocade boxes.
Compared with the big boxes around it, this one looks extraordinarily inconspicuous.
Nan Yan subconsciously glanced at the gift list in her hand, but she couldn't see it either.
She murmured, "Yes, who sent this?"
Just at this time, Aunt Tongyun came in, stepped forward and said softly: "Going back to Madam, it was early in the morning, at the Leng Palace, Madam Ning-Qin entrusted someone to send it. Say yes, and express your heart."
"Ning... is it her?"
Although Qin Ruolan had been demoted for a long time, when Nan Yan mentioned her, she subconsciously called her Concubine Ning.
But she immediately pursed her lips.
As soon as the people around heard Qin Ruolan, the expressions on their faces suddenly became a little strange.
Wu Wan sneered and said, "That bitch, who has hurt someone, still has the nerve to come out and dance around?"
"..."
Nan Yan frowned, but did not speak.
After all, on the surface, she was the one who thoroughly investigated the case and pinned the crime on Qin Ruolan.
But, who did it
She snorted coldly in her heart, and glanced at Wu Wan.
Wu Wan also sneered and said: "It's strange to say that the imperial concubine found out her handwriting impersonating the king of Wei, wrote that anti-poem, framed the king of Wei, and put her in the cold palace. Thankful?"
"..."
"On this day, do you still give gifts to the imperial concubine?"
"..."
"This is a bit strange, isn't it?"
Everyone immediately looked at Nanyan.
Xu Miaoyin also looked at Nan Yan, of course, in her heart, she was afraid that she was clear, so at this time, she was about to say something, but Nan Yan was already one step ahead of her, and said flatly: "Concubine Kang's words are also reasonable. But I think that the reason why the emperor and empress put her in the cold palace is to let her think about her mistakes in the cold palace, think about what she did and what she did wrong, so she ended up like this."
"..."
"Now that she is able to give Ben Gong a gift, I think she has a heart of repentance."
"..."
"As the saying goes, knowing a mistake can make a big difference. Although such a person has made a mistake, I feel a little bit of pity for this kind of person."
"..."
"What I'm afraid of is that some people don't know how to repent after making a mistake. In the future, they don't know what will happen to them!"
Upon hearing her words, Wu Wan immediately frowned, with obvious guns and sticks in her arms: "You—"
Nan Yan raised her chin and faced her.
"..."
After all, Wu Wan didn't dare to provoke her, so she gritted her teeth and swallowed the breath.
Xu Miaoyin on the side looked at this scene and smiled faintly.
Then he said: "The imperial concubine's words are reasonable, knowing the mistakes can make things better, if Qin Ruolan really intends to change, that is a very good thing."
Nan Yan nodded to her.
After that, everyone drank tea, ate snacks, and chatted for a while.
At this moment, Ting Fu came in from the outside: "Niang Niang."
"What's up?"
"Feng Zhaoyi is here."
"she?"
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
Fengshu
Why is she here
Not only was she a little surprised, but the surrounding concubines, together with Xu Miaoyin, were also a little surprised.
She knew that Fengshu had been assigned to be in Dongyuan before, but after all, it was not a long-term solution to only let her be a servant, so not long after that, Xu Miaoyin asked Zhu Feng for instructions and canonized her as Zhaoyi.
However, after the canonization, she has been very quiet and there is no movement.
Nan Yan almost forgot about this person.
Unexpectedly, she came again.
After thinking about it, he said, "Let her in."
"yes."
Ting Fu turned and went out, and after a while, a gorgeous beauty was brought in.
As soon as she walked in, Feng Shu saw that the place was full of people, so she immediately bowed down to them: "My concubine greets the empress, the imperial concubine, and all the elder sisters."
"Excuse me, get up."
Nan Yan looked at her calmly: "I don't know if Feng Zhaoyi is here today, what's the matter?"
Feng Shu smiled and said: "It's nothing important, I just came here today to say hello to the imperial concubine."
"Oh, then you came just in time."
Nanyan asked someone to give him a seat.
Just as Feng Shu was about to go over and sit down, suddenly, she heard a rattling sound coming from the inner room, which startled everyone.
Xu Miaoyin said: "What's wrong?"
Nan Yan said: "I don't know either."
There is no one in the inner room, why is there a sound
Everyone was puzzled, so they all got up and walked in. It turned out that it was the painting that was hanging on the wall before. The hanging rope was broken, so the painting fell off.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter."
Ran Xiaoyu and Nian Qiu immediately stepped forward, picked up the painting, and were about to re-attach the lanyard and hang it on the wall.
And just when they picked up the painting, Feng Shu who was standing by the side suddenly let out a soft "Huh".
