Chapter 765: Concubine, are you going to harm us?!
That night, the small courtyard where Nan Yan lived was brightly lit, a rare sight.
The house was also warm.
Concubine Kang and Concubine Ning were sitting at the table, looking at each other. Qin Ruolan's beautiful face had the same cold expression as always, but at this time, there was also a hint of doubt.
Wu Wan frowned even more tightly.
After all, this was not the first time she had encountered the imperial concubine treating guests.
Last time, Si Nanyan used a mandarin duck pot to scare Xia Yunting crazy. This time, no one knows what she is going to do.
Could it be that——
Just as he was thinking about it, Nan Yan, who was sitting right above him, looked up and said with a smile, "Good things are coming."
Everyone looked outside immediately.
Nian Qiu, who was standing at the door waiting, immediately opened the door a little. A breeze blew in, bringing with it a hint of warmth. It turned out that two little eunuchs came in carrying a special stove.
Placed in the center of the round table.
The stove was not high, and the charcoal fire was already burning red. On the iron mesh on top, there were many small pieces of roasted meat, sizzling with oil.
Exudes a strong aroma.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I thought the weather has been getting cold recently, and eating this would be a good way to warm me up. But I'm not blessed, and it's hard for me to eat all the good things alone, so I called you two over so we can eat together. It's delicious and lively."
“…”
“…”
She spoke in a very intimate manner. To an outsider, it sounded like the heartfelt affection between two good sisters.
However, Wu Wan and Qin Ruolan looked at her as if she were a monster.
To her, those words were also fantasy.
Wu Wan smiled and said, "Your Highness is the only one who has received the Emperor's favor. How can you say she is unlucky?"
“…”
"As long as you like it and can eat it by yourself, then eat it."
Her words were full of irony.
Nan Yan clearly felt that she had no intention of picking up her chopsticks.
She thought for a moment, then turned to Qin Ruolan and said with a smile, "What about Concubine Ning? Do you like this?"
Qin Ruolan glanced at her indifferently.
Then he said, "Since the Imperial Concubine is so willing, then I will respectfully obey your order."
After saying that, he calmly picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece.
Children of wealthy families naturally have excellent eating manners. Even when eating greasy barbecue, they look very pretty. Nan Yan glanced at her, picked up a piece, and took a careful bite.
Then, he turned to look at Wu Wan: "Is Concubine Kang not eating yet?"
“…”
Concubine Kang looked at her and then at Concubine Ning.
With a somewhat grim expression on his face, he reluctantly picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece.
Although the atmosphere at the table was not very good, the delicious food was still delicious after all, just a little greasy. Nan Yan ate two pieces and then put down her chopsticks.
Wu Wan and Qin Ruolan naturally stopped as well.
Nan Yan waved her hand, had the stove removed, and then said with a smile, "This stuff gets greasy if you eat too much. It's better to eat something lighter."
After saying that, he looked at Nian Qiu again.
Nian Qiu hurriedly opened the door and gave orders. After a while, plates of exquisite dishes were brought up.
Among them, there is a bowl of steaming hot milk soup with cattail leaves.
When Qin Ruolan saw this dish, her eyebrows raised slightly.
Nan Yan noticed this keenly.
But she remained calm and just said, "Serve the food."
Nian Qiu and Ran Xiaoyu walked up, took the soup bowls in front of each person on the table, filled each bowl with half a bowl of milk soup with water chestnuts, and then brought them to them.
Nan Yan said, "Please."
However, Wu Wan and Qin Ruolan just looked at the dishes in front of them and had no intention of eating.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?"
Wu Wan rolled her eyes, looked up at her, and said, "Why doesn't the Imperial Concubine use it first?"
Nan Yan said, "I've already eaten this dish during the day, so I don't really want to eat it now."
Qin Ruolan and Wu Wan looked at each other again.
Both of them looked unhappy, but Nan Yan had an inexplicable smile on her face and said, "Please, please."
“…”
It felt like they were being forced to eat.
At this moment, Qin Ruolan's face darkened. She said coldly, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly: "What?"
Qin Ruolan looked at her with a cold gaze and said, "We just had venison, and now you're asking us to eat cattail soup with milk."
"Is there anything wrong with this?"
“…”
Qin Ruolan's face was clearly filled with impatience, as if she hated being played tricks on her. However, she refused to admit it and said coldly, "Deer meat and cattails are incompatible. If we eat them like this, not only will it not be able to warm us up, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave this door today."
Upon hearing this, Wu Wan's expression immediately changed: "What? Imperial Concubine, you want to harm us?!"
“…”
Nan Yan raised her eyelids and said calmly, "So, there is such a thing."
“…”
"I didn't know that. This time, it's all thanks to Concubine Ning who told me."
Qin Ruolan said coldly: "Are you trying to tell us, Imperial Concubine, that your coming to us with these two dishes today was just a coincidence, and you yourself didn't know it?"
Nan Yan looked up at her without saying anything.
Qin Ruolan's eyes became increasingly cold.
That look seemed to be saying: I didn’t expect you to be such a person.
Meanwhile, Wu Wan, on the other side, was furious at this moment. She said fiercely, "Your Highness, we came here with good intentions to accompany you for dinner. I didn't expect you to use such a method to harm us."
“…”
"I must tell the Emperor about this!"
After saying that, she stood up and walked out.
Nan Yan just gave a hint, and immediately, Ran Xiaoyu came in from outside the door and blocked it.
As soon as Wu Wan saw her appear, she turned around and asked, "What's going on, Your Majesty, are you going to kill someone here again today to silence them?"
Nan Yan said, "Concubine Kang has misunderstood."
“…”
"I just hope that you won't bother the Emperor with such a small matter. He is currently worried about the affairs of state."
Wu Wan asked, "You want to kill someone, is that a small matter?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Who said I want to kill someone?"
Wu Wan pointed at the dishes on the table: "Isn't this enough to prove it?"
Nan Yan asked, "Prove what?"
Qin Ruolan also stood up at this time and said in a cold tone: "What did the Imperial Concubine just do, are you going to deny it in front of us?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at the two of them.
But he didn't say anything. Instead, he slowly picked up the bowl on the table and smelled the milk soup with cattails again.
Then, he scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth.
