Chapter 2366 Greetings
That night, Kang Biyun struggled in an endless nightmare.
The next morning, she got up before daybreak. When Ruying walked into Yangxingzhai with hot water and a towel, she was startled to see her sitting at the head of the bed in a daze.
"Jieyu, you're up so early?"
Kang Biyun raised her head suddenly: "What time is it?"
"Now? It's past noon."
"It's so late? Come on, help me wash up."
"What is your Majesty going to do?"
"I, I want to go and ask—oh no, I want to go, to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine."
"ah?"
Ruying was still a little puzzled. Kang Biyun had not gone to pay her respects to the imperial concubine these days. Why did she suddenly want to pay her respects to the imperial concubine early in the morning today?
But come to think of it, the imperial concubine has already finished her confinement.
Moreover, the emperor also restored the rule of having everyone in the harem pay their respects to the imperial concubine every day. Now, the imperial concubine holds the phoenix seal and is the actual head of the harem, so of course she cannot be neglected.
So she hurriedly helped Kang Biyun to wash and dress.
When it was just getting light outside, Kang Biyun had already dressed, left Yangxingzhai, and walked towards the palace where the imperial concubine lived.
At this time, Nan Yan had just gotten up.
She sat in front of the dressing table, yawning in front of the bronze mirror. Ruoshui stood behind her, combing her hair, and said with a smile, "Didn't your Majesty sleep well last night?"
"yes……"
Nan Yan covered her mouth while speaking and yawned again: "I don't know what's wrong with that girl. She tossed and turned all night, just like a pancake."
“…”
"She's been tormenting me terribly."
"Princess Shinpei? Isn't she usually very well behaved when she sleeps?"
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Who knows what's wrong with her."
“…”
"Not only did she toss and turn, but she also kept talking in her sleep. I couldn't hear what she was saying clearly."
“…”
"Anyway, I really won't sleep with her from now on. I have to let her sleep on her own."
Aunt Tongyun, who was making the bed nearby, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Your Majesty, you say this now, but when Her Highness the Princess comes over with a pillow in her arms tonight, Your Majesty will definitely soften her heart again."
Nan Yan couldn't help laughing when she heard that.
This is what a mother is like. No matter how harsh or cold she sounds, once she sees her lovely daughter and sees her looking at her eagerly, she forgets everything and gives her whatever she wants.
After all, it's a piece of flesh that fell off from my body.
Nan Yan was smiling when she saw Ruoshui open the dressing box on the table and take out a gorgeous phoenix hairpin from it.
As a noble concubine, she had a phoenix hairpin of a certain shape that other concubines could not wear. Although this one was not the most luxurious, it already looked quite solemn in normal times.
She said, "Forget about this."
“…”
"There's nothing to do right now, and my neck hurts from carrying Bai."
Ruoshui laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you've had enough rest in the past month or two. You almost forgot that the Emperor has restored the custom of having all the concubines come to pay their respects to you."
"oh?"
Nan Yan blinked and thought about it again. That’s right.
Since all the concubines in the palace have to pay their respects to her, she really has to pay attention to her clothing and accessories. They cannot be too simple and appear not solemn enough.
So he said, "Well, let's use this."
“…”
"And the clothes—"
She turned around and saw Aunt Tongyun had already made the bed. She took out a crimson robe from the closet and placed it on the bed. She smiled and said, "Look at this one, Your Majesty. It was made last year. The color and style are very solemn."
Nan Yan nodded: "This is good."
After a while, she was dressed.
After having a simple meal, Nan Yan saw Nian Qiu walking in from outside.
Then he laughed and said, "Where have you been so early in the morning? Why haven't I seen you?"
Nian Qiu hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Kang has come to pay her respects to you."
"Oh? So early."
Nan Yan said, "Let her in."
"yes."
Nian Qiu turned and left. A moment later, Concubine Kang Biyun came in and kowtowed to Nan Yan: "Greetings, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan said, "Get up. It's rare for you to come so early."
Kang Biyun's face was still a little pale.
Kneeling on the ground, he forced a smile and said, "It has been a while since I came to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine, so today, I came here specially to pay my respects."
"You're so thoughtful, take a seat."
Kang Biyun sat down, looking a little uncomfortable, and looked around. At this time, Nian Qiu came in to report that Concubine Shun Xinqing, Concubine Yi Li Paner, Concubine Jing Chen Lianxiang and others had come to pay their respects to the Imperial Concubine.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Everyone is here. Please invite them in."
Then, everyone entered the bedroom and kowtowed to Nan Yan.
"Greetings, Madam Noble Consort."
Nan Yan said, "Everyone, please stand up. Someone, please offer us a seat."
After everyone stood up, they went to sit on either side. Although Kang Biyun arrived the earliest, her rank was not high, so she naturally sat in the back. Jingpin sat in front of her and said with a smile, "Sister, you came early today."
"Yes, yes."
Chen Lianxiang looked back at her again and just smiled.
Concubine Shun kept looking at Nan Yan and said with a smile, "Your Majesty looks much better today."
"Really?"
"Yeah, but my eyes seem to be a little red."
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't sleep well last night."
"What's the matter? Is there anything that worries you, Madam?"
"No, even if there are any worries in the harem recently, I have handed them over to you and Concubine Yi. But, for some reason, Xinping tossed and turned last night, and it kept me awake."
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
Kang Biyun, who was holding a teacup and drinking tea, had her hand shaken and the tea spilled on her hand.
"ah……"
She let out a low cry, and everyone looked at her hurriedly.
"What's wrong?"
Kang Biyun hurriedly stood up and said in a panic, "I accidentally spilled the tea just now. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Nan Yan glanced at her and smiled faintly: "It's just a small matter, what's the big deal."
Someone immediately brought a handkerchief for her to wipe.
Everyone regained their composure, except Kang Biyun, who was wiping her hands with a handkerchief, her hands red from the heat.
Chen Lianxiang smiled again and said, "By the way, Madam, why didn't you see the little princess today?"
Nan Yan looked at her.
He said calmly, "She went to study early in the morning."
"So that's how it is."
At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps outside, and Xinping's voice rang out outside -
"Mother!"
Everyone was stunned.
Kang Biyun, in particular, froze there as if she had been struck by thunder.
