Chapter 881: Choose a virtuous person to take care of the princess
After leaving Yiku Palace, Nan Yan hurried to the imperial study, but when she was not far from the imperial study, she saw Queen Xu Miaoyin walking towards her.
In the bright sunshine, her face was gray.
Following behind him were Concubine Kang Wu Wan, Concubine De Xin Qing and others.
The expressions on everyone's faces were not very good.
Nan Yan walked over and bowed to Xu Miaoyin: "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."
"Noble Concubine," Xu Miaoyin's eyes lit up when she saw her: "You, know too?"
Although the harem cannot interfere in politics, this is a matter that no one can sit idly by.
So Xu Miaoyin didn't hesitate and asked directly.
Nan Yan also nodded: "I just heard about it."
Xu Miaoyin sighed deeply.
Nan Yan asked, "Is the Empress going to ask to see the Emperor? What does the Emperor say?"
Xu Miaoyin said, "Your Majesty, don't see us."
"What?"
Nan Yan was startled.
You have to know that no matter whether she is favored or not, Xu Miaoyin is the queen. Together with Xin Qing who is standing behind her at the moment, these two people have been with him for so many years, through all the ups and downs, and have never retreated.
Zhu Feng, you didn’t even see the two of them?
Perhaps because she had just run into a snag outside the Imperial Study, Wu Wan's expression was already bad. At this moment, she snorted coldly and said, "Your Highness, why not go over and try your luck?"
Nan Yan glanced at her.
Wu Wan said, "Let's see if the door to the Imperial Study will be opened for the Imperial Concubine."
“…”
Nan Yan frowned.
He came here this time originally to ask for an audience with Zhu Feng, but for some reason, when he saw the situation and heard Wu Wan's almost provocative words, he felt a little heavy in his heart.
You know, the interaction between the two of them in the imperial study yesterday was almost an argument.
She didn't completely lose her mind and left a way out.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Feng didn't even come over to ask a question throughout the whole night.
He is really so cruel. If I go to see him now, can I still make an exception like before?
Seeing Nan Yan's eyes flickering, Wu Wan seemed to have caught something and raised her eyebrows slightly, "What's wrong, Imperial Concubine?"
In fact, it was not only Wu Wan who made such provocative remarks, but other concubines also thought so to some extent.
Everyone knows how favored the imperial concubine is these days.
Depin Xinqing also spoke up for once, saying, "Your Highness, if you could find a way to see the Emperor and offer some words of advice, that would be the best."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at them for a while, then said weakly, "I, I'll think about it."
Xu Miaoyin looked at her strangely.
He thought for a moment, then took a few steps forward, approached Nan Yan, and lowered his voice to say, "I heard that the Emperor hasn't been to Yikun Palace these days. Is that true?"
“…”
Nan Yan nodded silently.
Xu Miaoyin took a deep breath.
She realized that this matter might be different from the past.
If even Si Nanyan falls out of favor, it proves that some things are completely beyond their expectations and control.
Xu Miaoyin murmured, "How could this happen?"
Nan Yan glanced at her, and for a moment he didn't seem to know what to say, and the two of them just sat there in silence.
Nan Yan asked, "Did your Majesty see Feng Zhaoyi when she went to the Imperial Study just now?"
"Feng Zhaoyi?"
Xu Miaoyin frowned and suddenly said, "I know that she has been getting close to the emperor quite often these days."
"these days?"
"Yes, it's been almost a month," Xu Miaoyin said, "but there are so many people like this in the harem. I know about it, but I don't want to care."
As she spoke, she glanced back out of the corner of her eye.
The ones watching were naturally Wu Wan and the others.
Nan Yan couldn't help laughing in her heart.
Indeed, there were so many women in the harem, but there was only one emperor, so of course everyone was trying to get close to Zhu Feng. However, since he had never done so before, he had never really thought about others doing the same.
and--
It's been over a month.
No wonder Zhu Feng hasn't come to Yikun Palace once in more than a month.
Nan Yan suddenly felt as if her feet were empty, as if she was stepping on cotton. She didn't know when she would really step on empty air and fall to pieces.
She stood there for a long time, unable to recover.
Just then, a baby voice came from the other side.
Because the Queen and the Imperial Concubine were talking, everyone was quiet. Suddenly, when they heard this voice, everyone looked up. It turned out that Aunt Tongyun was strolling in the garden with the little Princess Xinping in her arms, and they happened to walk nearby.
As soon as I saw them all here, I hurried over to greet them.
Xu Miaoyin looked at Yuxue's cute little Xiao Ping, and the sadness on her face faded a little.
Smiling, she said, "Come, let me hug you."
Aunt Tongyun hurriedly put the little princess into her arms. Xiao Xinping opened her black and white eyes wide and looked at her for a while, as if wondering who this person was.
Nan Yan said, "This is the Empress, calling for help."
“Woof…”
"Her Majesty the Queen."
“Woof woof…”
Xu Miaoyin couldn't help but laugh, but she was a little surprised and asked, "Will the little princess call for help?"
Nan Yan felt a little sad and whispered, "I just realized yesterday that she can call me 'Father'."
"real?"
"Um."
"Then, does the Emperor know?"
"I did tell the emperor yesterday, but he didn't come to see her."
“…”
Xu Miaoyin frowned again.
Zhu Feng was indifferent to them, but it was impossible that he would also be indifferent to this little princess whom he had doted on to the core, right?
So, Xu Miaoyin said: "Since the emperor hasn't seen the little princess for so long, he must miss her very much. Let someone go and talk to the emperor and see -"
Nan Yan suddenly remembered.
Before, when the King of Wei was involved, he met him once under the pretext of Xiao Xinping.
Is it possible that this time, he is going to use his daughter to "seek favor" again?
She was a little hesitant, not knowing why. Although Zhu Feng had doted on Xin Ping so much before, almost to the sky, now, when she was about to do so again, she felt a little uneasy.
Xu Miaoyin, perhaps because this matter was indeed too urgent, said softly, "I really want to see the emperor."
“…”
"Don't you want to?"
“…”
Of course I do.
It's not just this time that Zhu Feng changed his attitude towards him. The "Prince Yin Jing" incident also had a profound impact on the entire Great Yan Dynasty. It was even very likely to trigger a new round of changes in the previous dynasty's structure.
They couldn't just sit back and watch.
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's give it a try."
So she took Xiao Xinping from Xu Miaoyin's hand, then turned and walked towards the imperial study.
Xu Miaoyin and the others also followed.
Although Wu Wan and the others had expressions of contempt on their faces, it was not a good time to show it. Moreover, Duke Chengguo had a strong reaction to Prince Yin Jing's matter.
She also hoped to find out what Zhu Feng was thinking.
So, he whispered coldly: "It depends on what you can do, humph!"
Nan Yan walked to the door. When Xiao Shunzi saw her coming, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, the Princess."
Nan Yan said, "Eunuch Shun, where is the emperor?"
"Your Majesty, it's in the imperial study."
"Well, I want to see the emperor, is that okay?"
Looking at Xu Miaoyin and the others standing not far behind her, Xiao Shunzi gave a bitter smile and said, "My Lady Concubine, please don't embarrass me. The Emperor has already sent away several groups of people early this morning. The Empress has probably also told the Lady Concubine."
“…”
"If this servant goes in and disturbs me again, the Emperor will have me punished with a stick."
Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Xiaoping in his arms let out an "Awooo" at the right moment and waved his little fist at him: "Fight."
Nan Yan said, "Look, the little princess is eager to see the emperor. Could it be that even she, Eunuch Shun, can't make some concessions?"
“…”
This made Xiao Shunzi feel a little relieved.
After all, the emperor dotes on the little princess to the utmost.
If he knew that he had blocked the little princess from entering the door, he would probably have been beaten with a stick.
After all, this is the Imperial Concubine. Xiao Shunzi has had a good relationship with her since she became a female official of the Imperial Treasures Department, so he said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
After saying that, he turned and went into the imperial study.
Nan Yan stood at the doorway, somewhat nervously waiting. Xiao Xiaoping in her arms seemed to know that it was her father inside, and jumped excitedly in her arms: "Ahhh."
After a while, Xiao Shunzi came out.
Xu Miaoyin took a step forward with them and asked, "What did the emperor say?"
Xiao Shunzi looked up at Nan Yan and said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness, the Emperor said—"
"What?"
"The Emperor said that if Your Majesty can take good care of the little princess, she will stay in Yikun Palace and be taken care of."
“…”
"If not, then the Emperor will select another capable person from the harem to take care of the little princess."
“……!”
Nan Yan's heart suddenly fell into an icy cave.
At this moment, a graceful figure walked out from the side. When she saw them, she immediately came over and bowed down: "Your Majesty the Queen, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine, and all the sisters."
It was none other than Zhaoyi Fengshu.
As soon as Xu Miaoyin saw her, her expression changed.
Nan Yan's face turned even paler as paper in the sunlight, and she stared at her closely.
Xu Miaoyin asked, "Feng Zhaoyi, what are you doing here?"
Feng Shu smiled and was about to speak when Xiao Shunzi beside her saw her and said, "Feng Zhaoyi, the emperor wants you to come in."
“…!?”
Everyone around was stunned.
Everyone looked at her in disbelief, but Feng Shu still had a faint smile on her face. However, when she bowed to everyone and stood up again, there was a clear hint of provocation in the corner of her eyes as she looked at them.
Then she said, "Excuse me, concubine."
After saying that, he turned and walked into the imperial study.
And the door closed in front of them again.
