Chapter 1554 Lovesickness
Gu Qiqing was stunned.
Simuzhen, who was standing by, suddenly had an excited smile on her face.
She had been trying to persuade Gu Qiqing to get closer to the palace these days, but Gu Qiqing was unwilling, making her life difficult.
Unexpectedly, at this time, someone in the palace, and the imperial concubine herself, actually summoned Gu Qiqing into the palace.
This is simply like someone bringing you a pillow when you are sleepy!
She smiled and said, "That's perfect."
“…”
Gu Qiqing was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard her say that, he turned to look at her, only to see Si Muzhen smiling and saying, "You can go to the palace now. Thank you for the prescription I wrote for you."
Gu Qiqing's face suddenly turned red.
On this side, Wang Ma also heard that the house where their young lady was treated was actually from the imperial palace.
She didn't say much and hurriedly helped the young lady change her clothes and wash up.
Si Muzhen also hurried back to change her clothes and put on a bright dress. When Gu Qiqing walked to the door and saw that the carriage had been waiting outside for a long time, Si Muzhen also came over.
She said, "Sister, you——"
Si Muzhen smiled and said, "I'm still worried about you, so I'll accompany you into the palace."
“…”
Gu Qiqing was a little hesitant.
Originally, she was completely well and didn't need anyone to accompany her, but Si Muzhen had already changed her clothes and came here on her own initiative, so she couldn't ask him to go back.
That, after all, is her sister.
However, she vaguely felt in her heart that Si Muzhen was very eager to enter the palace, and there was something in her words that made her uneasy.
After all, Gu Qiqing is still young, and it is difficult for him to make a decision when encountering such a thing without an adult around.
At this time, the eunuch who came out with the carriage listened to Fu's smile and said, "The Imperial Concubine also said that if the Third Miss wants to accompany Miss Qiqing to the palace, it is also possible so that there will be someone to take care of her."
Hearing him say this, Gu Qiqing was speechless.
And Si Muzhen's eyes lit up.
I smiled in my heart and said: This is perfect!
So, the two of them got on the carriage together, and soon, the carriage wobbled towards the palace.

Nan Yan sat by the window.
The weather was just right today, and the sunlight shone obliquely from the window onto her body, making her feel somewhat warm. She held Xinping in her arms, listening to her constant urging.
"Mother, why hasn't my sister come yet?"
"Is she coming or not?"
"Isn't she coming?"
Nan Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you suffering from lovesickness? Why don't I usually see you missing your mother as much as you miss your sister?"
Xinping blinked his eyes after hearing this and said, "What is lovesickness?"
Nan Yan reached out and pinched her face: "You'll understand when you grow up."
As he was speaking, someone came from outside to report that Miss Gu had entered the palace.
Nan Yan sat up and looked up, she saw two figures walking in from outside, the neatly dressed Gu Qiqing, and the exquisitely made-up Si Muzhen.
There was a hint of smile in her eyes.
Two people had already walked in and bowed to her: "Commoners pay their respects to the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Get up, why should we be so polite as a family?"
The two of them then stood up.
Xinping couldn't wait to rush over and save Gu Qiqing: "Little sister!"
Gu Qiqing also smiled and hugged her, saying, "Your Highness, I haven't paid my respects to you yet."
As he said this, he helped her to stand and bowed to her respectfully.
Nan Yan watched from the side, smiled and nodded.
Although Gu Qiqing has just reached the age of 15 and should have been young and ignorant, her behavior is graceful and tactful, and she is indeed very likable. It can be seen that Gu Tingqiu has taught this child very well.
After all, she is a lady from a famous family.
It’s much better than when I was a child, like a wild child.
Although she had a difficult life since childhood, when she saw the little girl who grew up being cared for, Nan Yan not only did not feel jealous or resentful, but was willing to protect her.
Then, she smiled at Gu Qiqing and said, "You don't know, this girl has been talking about you every day these past two days, insisting that you come to the palace to accompany her, as if you had drugged her."
Gu Qiqing lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Your Majesty, you are making fun of me."
Nan Yan smiled.
Then he asked, "Is the injury on your foot better?"
Gu Qiqing hurriedly said, "In reply to the Empress, everything is fine now."
"That's good. I was worried that you were injured, so I called you back to the palace. This might make your injury worse."
"Thank you for your concern, Madam."
Nan Yan smiled and turned to look at Si Muzhen.
Among the daughters of the Si family, Si Muzhen is the best-born. She is prettier than Si Mulan and more delicate than herself. Moreover, she is young, with fair skin and an innocent look, which always makes her look as delicate as a jade doll.
Moreover, she knows how to dress up, with delicate makeup and gorgeous clothes, making her an even brighter lady.
Nan Yan smiled at her and said, "You are here too."
Si Muzhen said: "I am worried that Qiqing's injury has not healed completely, so I will accompany her to the palace."
"you--"
Nan Yan dragged out her voice, causing Gu Qiqing and Si Muzhen to look up at her. They saw her smile slightly: "Very attentive."
Si Muzhen lowered her head and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
After they chatted for a while, the imperial kitchen sent over some exquisite pastries. Nan Yan smiled and said, "I called you here so early in the morning. You must be hungry after such a bumpy journey. Eat something first."
"yes."
"yes."
So everyone followed her to the table and sat down.
On the table were goose oil rolls with puff filling, lotus cakes, and crabapple pastries. Each dish was exquisite, beautiful, and fragrant, but Gu Qiqing ate very moderately. After all, she was a lady from a famous family and could not show her greed.
But Si Muzhen's mind was not on food at all.
Nan Yan took a piece of pastry and ate it slowly, looking at them, with a gleam in her eyes.
Among the people at the table, only Xinping ate several pieces of food attentively.
After finishing their meal, drinking some tea, and resting for a while, Xinping started to make a fuss about going to the Imperial Garden to play. She reached out and held Gu Qiqing's sleeve and swung her around: "Sister, come with me."
Gu Qiqing was naturally willing to do so.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Be careful, don't run back like a mud monkey again."
"I understand."
As Xinping said this, she happily slid down from the stool and was about to walk out holding Gu Qiqing's hand.
But at this time, Simuzhen also stood up and said, "Your Highness, may I go with them?"
“…”
Nan Yan raised her head and looked at her.
Simuzhen smiled and said, "I would also like to accompany Her Royal Highness the Princess for a walk."
Aunt Tongyun and Nianqiu all frowned when they heard this.
But, he didn't speak immediately.
Everyone looked at Nan Yan.
