Chapter 1237 What are you pretending for? !
At this time, Concubine Kang Wu Wan, who was watching coldly from the side, laughed and walked over waving a fan. She said with a smile: "What's wrong, Concubine Kang? You look guilty. Did you offend our Imperial Concubine and are you afraid of her?"
Feng Qianyan forced a smile and said, "Empress Kang, you're joking."
“…”
"How dare I offend the Imperial Concubine?"
Wu Wan covered the lower half of her face with a round fan, revealing a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling. She said, "Let me tell you, our imperial concubine is incredible. She walks around the palace with all her might. If you really offend her, be careful."
"yes,"
Concubine An Gao Yurong beside her also said: "I heard that you were injured a few days ago."
“…”
"Don't let her kick you so hard that your leg isn't injured."
“…”
Feng Qianyan looked up at them, but saw Wu Wan chuckle, then turned and walked away, waving her fan.
Feng Qianyan didn't say anything, only her pair of autumn-water eyes flickered slightly.
At this moment, Xiaomenzi's voice sounded -
"The Queen has arrived!"
Everyone looked up and saw Queen Xu Miaoyin slowly walking into the imperial garden. Everyone knelt down hurriedly.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Everyone, get up."
Xu Miaoyin slowly walked in front of the crowd and raised her hand, and everyone stood up one after another.
She glanced at everyone, all of whom were sunburned and dripping with sweat, and said, "I asked you all to come here today under the scorching sun for no other reason than the day after tomorrow's grand ceremony. I'd like to explain the rules first, so that we don't lose face and become disrespectful."
Everyone hurriedly said, "Yes."
"Okay, everyone, stand up first."
"yes."
Everyone lined up according to their ranks, and Nan Yan naturally stood in the first row.
And behind her were Concubine Kang and Feng Qianyan.
Nan Yan subconsciously looked back, but saw Feng Qianyan lowering his head cautiously, as if he didn't even have the courage to look up and meet her gaze.
Her little action was seen by Xu Miaoyin.
Xu Miaoyin asked, "My Lady, what's wrong?"
Nan Yan smiled and shook her head: "Nothing."
Xu Miaoyin said, "I know you must be very tired after accompanying the Emperor to the academy to pick up Prince Wei yesterday. Please bear with me for a while today."
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I dare not neglect the grand ceremony."
"Um."
Xu Miaoyin nodded, and when everyone was standing in place, she called out the master of ceremonies and instructed everyone where they would stand the next day, as well as how to enter the stage and how to perform the ceremony.
Everyone followed his instructions, walked a distance, stopped, turned around, and saluted.
On the day of the ceremony, the place they were in must be very spacious, but this was the imperial garden after all, and the venue was not that big. During a few movements, the distance between Nan Yan and Feng Qianyan was very close.
Even when turning around, if you stretch your arms a little, you can touch the corner of the other person's clothes.
Nan Yan could also smell a faint scent of jasmine on her.
It smells really good.
Compared to the concubines around her who were heavily made-up and exuded a strong scent of powder, her light sweet fragrance was indeed very attractive.
At this time, the first rehearsal was over.
The ceremonial officer said, "Ladies, please remember your positions and the proper etiquette. Let's do it again."
Impatient expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
But Xu Miaoyin was standing aside, so no one dared to neglect her. They could only complain in their hearts and walk back.
When she turned around, Feng Qianyan was standing in front of Nan Yan.
Although her dress was simple, the hem was quite long. When she turned around, the hem spread out and fell right at her feet.
Nan Yan couldn't help but frown.
At this time, the master of ceremonies said: "Begin."
Immediately everyone stood up, and the master of ceremonies continued, "Okay..."
Everyone immediately stepped forward.
But Feng Qianyan was hesitant to take this step, and when Nan Yan took a step forward, she stepped on her skirt. She was about to move away, but Feng Qianyan immediately walked forward again.
Suddenly the skirt was pulled——
"oops!"
Feng Qianyan screamed and fell on her back.
Seeing her falling towards her, Nan Yan frowned and immediately waved her hand, and Feng Qianyan fell at her feet.
Everyone was shocked and rushed over: "Kangpin, what's wrong with you?"
"Are you okay?"
"How could you fall for no reason?"
As soon as someone finished saying this, the person next to her immediately pulled her sleeve, and everyone saw that a corner of Feng Qianyan's clothes was still under Nan Yan's feet.
Hanxiang, who had been standing by to serve, immediately rushed forward and said anxiously, "Your Highness, please spare Your Highness Kangpin!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar.
Nan Yan frowned: "What did you say?"
Ran Xiaoyu on the side also rushed up. Of course, she was more aggressive. Nan Yan stretched out her hand to stop her.
At this time, Xu Miaoyin also came up, looked down at Feng Qianyan who was about to cry, and Hanxiang who was protecting her, and then looked at Nanyan and Ran Xiaoyu.
She said, "What's going on?"
Feng Qianyan had fallen to the ground, looking very embarrassed. She quickly got up and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was my carelessness. It has nothing to do with the Imperial Concubine."
Xu Miaoyin glanced down, then looked at the corner of her clothes.
Nan Yan moved her feet away calmly.
Ran Xiaoyu immediately said: "It has nothing to do with our queen, why are you pretending?"
Feng Qianyan lowered her head and said, "I, I didn't."
Someone in the crowd had already whispered, "It seemed like the Imperial Concubine pushed it just now—"
"Shh, you're going to die!"
"I think she did it on purpose. She's so arrogant!"
"Yes, Concubine Kang had her salary docked for half a year for no reason, and now it's like this again. What on earth did I do to offend her?"
Originally, everyone was somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that the imperial concubine left the cold palace and returned to the Yiku Palace. Because of her, the people in the harem could no longer even touch the corner of the emperor's clothes. In the past two days, she punished Concubine Kang for no reason, and today she openly "attacked" her. Everyone immediately "spoke out" out of dissatisfaction.
Of course, these words were neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for people to hear, but no one dared to shout in front of Nan Yan.
However, Nan Yan's face had already darkened.
Xu Miaoyin's brows knitted slightly, and she said, "Princess Kang, get up first."
"yes."
Feng Qianyan grabbed Hanxiang's arm and tried to stand up, but just as she stood up, she fell back. Xu Miaoyin asked, "What happened?"
Feng Qianyan raised her head, her eyes slightly red, but she didn't dare to speak.
Hanxiang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Kangpin already had an injury on her foot. She knelt for half a day at the gate of Yikun Palace two mornings ago, and her injury has become even worse. Now—"
