Chapter 1203 The Vixen's Methods
Nan Yan was quiet for a while, fastened his waist belt, and then said, "Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you."
Zhu Feng looked down at her.
"what are you up to?"
"I also want to leave the palace."
"You're leaving the palace too? Where are you going?" Zhu Feng couldn't help but frown at this. "Are you going to those academies too?"
Nan Yan hurriedly shook her head: "Of course not. It's just that I finally returned to Jinling, and I want to go home and visit."
"oh……"
Upon hearing her say this, Zhu Feng's expression relaxed.
Just now, when he heard that she was going to leave the palace, he almost immediately thought that she wanted to go to those academies, but the owners of those academies were people he absolutely did not want them to meet again.
Fortunately, she just had to go back home.
Zhu Feng said, "Go home. By the way, your home is in Jinling City. Do you need me to accompany you back?"
Nan Yan smiled and shook her head: "Your Majesty, don't you have important matters to attend to? Besides, in a few days, the opening ceremony of Da Ci'en Temple and Chong'en Pagoda will be held. There should be a lot of things to prepare. Your Majesty doesn't need to be distracted by me."
"Then you go back alone, is that okay?"
"Of course, I just went back to take a look after being away for a long time."
"……All right."
Zhu Feng nodded. Indeed, he couldn't get away.
He then ordered, "Later, I'll have Yufu bring the sign over, and have a few people follow you. Oh, and remember to bring Ran Xiaoyu with you, but tell her not to mess around outside."
Ran Xiaoyu's previous act of openly taking Princess Xinping out of the palace could not be forgiven easily, but she was lucky that Princess Xinping was not injured. In addition, with the Ning Wang rebellion in the past, Zhu Feng suppressed the matter. However, he already had an impression of her impulsive behavior.
So, I mentioned it specifically.
Nan Yan said hurriedly: "I will tell her."
"Um."
After she put on her clothes, the palace maids came in with hot water and towels to serve her. Ran Xiaoyu was especially surprised to see Zhu Feng here, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.
Nan Yan stood behind Zhu Feng and glared at her with a smile.
After breakfast, Zhu Feng left Yiku Palace and went to the imperial study.
Ran Xiaoyu came over with an incredulous look on her face: "Your Majesty, when did the Emperor come?"
"last night."
"Last night? But I clearly saw—"
At this point, she paused, blinked, and then said, "It seems that the tactics of that vixen weren't very good. She even coaxed the emperor to Jianfu Palace, but she couldn't keep him."
Nan Yan couldn't help but laugh: "You, you've really been in the harem for too long. Even your speech is like those people. What a foxy woman."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "If it were someone else, I wouldn't say that."
"oh?"
"Your Highness, think about it. Returning to the Yikun Palace is no small matter. There are countless eyes in the palace staring at this place. The Emperor is coming tonight, and they must all know. And this Concubine Kang, at exactly this time, ran into the Emperor outside our Yikun Palace and twisted her ankle. Is this such a coincidence?"
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "What if it's just such a coincidence?"
Ran Xiaoyu sneered, "How can there be so many what-ifs? Even if it really is such a coincidence, where are the people around her? She went out so late without even a lantern or a maid?"
“…”
This time, Nan Yan was speechless.
Yesterday, ever since Ran Xiaoyu told her about this matter, she had not paid too much attention to the "Empress Kang", but was thinking about Zhu Feng and herself. But now, after Ran Xiaoyu said this, she also felt it vaguely.
but--
She smiled bitterly and said, "Even if she really designed it, what can we do?"
“…”
"This is how the harem is. There is only one emperor, but there are so many concubines. There are too many monks and too little porridge. How can they not find a solution?"
Ran Xiaoyu said angrily, "Your Highness, it seems as if you feel they are quite pitiful."
Nan Yan smiled faintly and said, "Putting myself in his shoes, I can't say much. I just feel that God has been so kind to me, allowing me to meet him, and him to meet me. It's just that when we met, there were so many more people around us. This is probably the imperfection that should exist in life."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "Now that you put it that way, I don't know what to say."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I don't know what to say, just go down and get ready. I'm going to take you out of the palace today."
"Leaving the palace, where to go?"
"Come back to my house."
"Your family? My Lady, didn't you suffer a lot before?"
If it was someone else's queen, who was on good terms with her family and missed them, and who could ask for permission to go home, it would be a great blessing; but for Nan Yan, going back might not be a good thing.
Nan Yan said: "Of course I'm not going back to reminisce about the past or anything like that, I'm just going back for one thing."
"What's up?"
"Don't worry about it for now. Just pack up and remember to take out the sachet left by the late Queen Chen. I want to take it away."
"oh?"
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her in surprise and felt strange.
But Nan Yan had already given the order, so she didn't say more and went down to do her work immediately.
Ran Xiaoyu moved swiftly, quickly preparing everything she needed for her trip out of the palace. It wasn't much, really; this trip was a visit to her family, so she had to give them some gifts. She packed a few gold and jade items, took some silver, and finally, carefully placed the sachet in a purse, which she handed to Nan Yan.
After a while, Eunuch Yu brought a sign to leave the palace.
She smiled and said, "The Emperor has instructed me to escort the Empress to the carriage and to wait until she leaves the palace before returning."
Nan Yan laughed and said, "The Emperor is also nagging."
The group walked out.
Just as they walked out of the gate of Yiku Palace, they saw someone walking towards Yiku Palace.
It was none other than Concubine Kang Feng Qianyan, who had injured her ankle at the door last night.
Her injuries had not yet healed, and at this moment, she was supported by her maid Hanxiang, who limped over. When she saw her, she immediately stepped forward and reluctantly saluted: "Your Majesty, your concubine, I pay my respects to you."
Eunuch Yu followed behind Nan Yan, and when he saw her, his expression suddenly became a little subtle.
Nan Yan also looked at her.
Just now, Ran Xiaoyu had just finished saying those words, but she didn't expect to see Concubine Kang as soon as she went out. It was really a coincidence.
Previously, she had lived in the cold palace and had never met the concubines the empress had chosen for Zhu Feng. This time, on the way south, she had the opportunity to see them. Feng Qianyan, speaking of it, was not outstanding among the colorful harem, but when they bumped into her head-on and took a second look, she found that she was delicate and charming, with a unique charm.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Kangpin, what a coincidence."
Feng Qianyan lowered her head and smiled apologetically, "I have come specially to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine."
"Yeah?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I thought so. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that you appear here again."
