Chapter 837 Male beauty is a disaster
She said, "I don't know, Your Majesty, what do you want to ask me?"
Nan Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said, "The last time I came here, Mammy said that you served Emperor Gao, so you must have met my uncle."
"Yes."
"So, you are the Emperor Gao's personal maid?"
Nanny Su's eyes flickered slightly before she said, "Originally it was, but later it wasn't."
"Originally? Not later?"
"Originally, I served the Emperor Gao, but after the Imperial Concubine Qin entered the palace, I was transferred to serve in the Yikun Palace."
“…”
"So, I am Concubine Qin's personal maid."
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
This is not unexpected.
From the fact that she had given some of Concubine Qin's things to Concubine Ning before, Nan Yan had a vague guess that even if she was not serving Concubine Qin, she must have had some dealings with her.
It is true.
Nan Yan smiled and asked, "So, what kind of person is Concubine Qin?"
Nanny Su glanced at her and said, "The Imperial Concubine... Imperial Concubine Qin is very humble. Although she comes from the underworld and is not a lady from a famous family, she is open and generous, which many young ladies cannot match."
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
She remembered that Concubine Ning once said that when Emperor Gao and Luo Xingwen joined forces to fight against the Kingdom of Dan, Qin Xixi played a very important role in the process.
This woman is more than just magnanimous and open-minded, as she is able to unite two major forces.
You must also be courageous, knowledgeable, and meticulous.
Being able to do all these, she can be called an extraordinary woman.
However, such an extraordinary woman ended up with only a desolate grave on Xingluo Lake.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Since Nanny was the one who served Concubine Qin, do you know how she died?"
Aunt Su glanced at her and asked, "Do you know she's dead?"
Nan Yan said, "I have seen her grave on Xingluo Lake."
"oh……"
Nanny Su nodded and said, "Empress Ning, every year, we go to pay homage to Concubine Qin."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Nan Yan again before saying, "Actually, I don't know how Concubine Qin passed away."
"You don't know? Aren't you her personal maid?"
"Although I am her personal maid, sometimes I can't always be by her side."
That’s true.
Just as Ran Xiaoyu is so loyal to him and has such strong abilities, she may not always be by his side.
What's more, it seems that Nanny Su is not a martial artist like Ran Xiaoyu.
Nan Yan said, "Mammy, what you mean is that you were not by Concubine Qin's side when she passed away?"
"Yes."
"So when did she die?"
"She was conferred the title of Imperial Concubine shortly after Emperor Gao established the country in the second year."
Nan Yan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
So early?
This imperial concubine hardly spent any time in the harem and died early.
"So, where did she die? Was it in the palace?"
"Of course not. If she were in the palace, I would definitely stay by her side."
Nanny Su looked somewhat gloomy. She said, "She fell ill and passed away while accompanying Emperor Gao to the north for the final negotiation with the envoys from the Kingdom of Dian."
“……!”
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Negotiate with the envoys of the Kingdom of Dian?
She subconsciously thought of the painting by Wu Yingqiu that she saw in the Golden Building.
What should be presented is that negotiation.
But what was unexpected was that Concubine Qin also followed Emperor Gao.
Normally, concubines would not be involved in such a major event, but considering that Qin Xixi had made such great contributions to Emperor Gao and Luo Xingwen, it seems that her strengths should not be taking care of her husband and children.
But he is very skillful in diplomacy.
Therefore, Emperor Gao would bring her with him during negotiations.
Sadly, she fell ill and passed away.
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then said, "After she passed away, then—"
"He was buried on Xingluo Lake."
Nanny Su's expression grew even more gloomy as she said, "Although, I don't understand why the Emperor Gao didn't build a mausoleum for the Imperial Concubine. After all, she is the Imperial Concubine."
“…”
"But she herself doesn't like being surrounded by these red walls."
“…”
"Perhaps, being buried where she came from would be a good thing for her."
“…”
Nan Yan didn't expect that there was such a story.
For some reason, although it was a very old story, Nan Yan's mood kept fluctuating when she listened to it.
There seems to be a little bit of sadness.
strangeness.
Although she is very compassionate, other people's stories are ultimately other people's stories. She rarely gets caught up in other people's emotions and is rarely affected by them.
After Su Ma Ma finished speaking, she was quiet for a while, as if she was calming down. Then she looked up at her and said, "Why does the Imperial Concubine suddenly want to ask about Imperial Concubine Qin?"
Nan Yan was silent for a while before she said, "My grandmother passed away a few days ago."
"Please accept my condolences."
"Well, she mentioned Concubine Qin several times before she died."
“…”
"I don't know, maybe it's because she and Concubine Qin are old friends, so I wanted to find out. If there's anything unfinished, I want to do it. It can also be considered as a way to show my filial piety to my grandmother."
"Mrs. Si...?"
After hearing this, Nanny Su thought for a moment and said, "I do remember that Imperial Concubine Qin and Old Madam Si seemed to be acquaintances. Sometimes during their conversations, they would also talk about Old Madam Si and Marquis Bowang."
"Really?"
"Yes."
“…”
"Noble Concubine Qin lost her father at a young age, and it seems that she was taken care of by Old Madam Si for a period of time."
"So that's how it is."
"Before she passed away, that is, before she followed Emperor Gao to attend the negotiations, she made a lot of clothes with her own hands, both summer and winter clothes, for Madam Si."
“…”
"I guess he thinks the old lady is half his mother."
Nan Yan was slightly moved.
I really didn't expect that there was such a past between Qin Xixi and Tong Yuhua.
No wonder, Tong Yuhua was sick and confused in the last period of his life, but he mentioned "the girl from the Qin family" several times.
He was even kind to Concubine Ning.
I think it’s also because of Concubine Qin.
It's a pity that they have such a good relationship, but Qin Ruolan and I almost broke up before. It's really embarrassing to think about it.
It’s all because of Zhu Feng.
Men’s looks are a disaster!
Nan Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She thought for a moment and then asked, "Mammy, how much do you know about the past between Concubine Ning and the Emperor?"
