Chapter 556 A Man and a Woman
Just then, Ran Xiaoyu walked in from outside, sweating profusely.
When Nan Yan saw her, she immediately asked, "Where did you get so sweaty?"
Ran Xiaoyu panted and said, "Is it tea? Give it to me quickly. I'm dying of thirst."
Nan Yan hurriedly handed the teacup to her, and Ran Xiaoyu drank it down in a few gulps. After that, she still felt it was not enough, so she picked up the teapot and drank several sips from it.
Finally feeling a little better.
She let out a long breath.
Nan Yan asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Ran Xiaoyu said: "Accompany His Highness to practice archery."
"Why are you sweating so hard?"
"His Highness has been extremely diligent lately, pulling his bow at least five hundred times a day, and standing in the sun shooting arrows. I have no choice but to accompany him."
After hearing this, Nan Yan smiled and said, "That's great."
"Yes," Ran Xiaoyu said, "It's a good thing that Your Highness is willing to work hard."
“…”
"It's just that after returning to Jinling, he seems to have become a different person."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and smiled, "The Emperor brought him back to Jinling this time and has already issued an edict to confer him the title of King of Wei on the fifteenth of next month. This is a form of recognition for him."
“…”
"I feel motivated now, right?"
Ran Xiaoyu said: "So that's how it is."
"You must have been working so hard recently."
"I'm not working hard, I'm just having a hard life."
The two of them laughed.
Ran Xiaoyu took a breath, sat aside, and said, "By the way, I also heard that the emperor will also appoint you as a concubine next month. According to the queen, when the time comes, she will transfer me to the Yikun Palace to follow you."
"real?"
Nan Yan looked back at her with some surprise.
But after thinking about it, he carefully closed his mouth.
Ran Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at her: "What are you thinking about?"
"……nothing."
"Are you afraid that I'm petty, thinking we were the same in the past, and that I'd be unhappy if you ordered me around in the future?"
When she said it so directly, Nan Yan's original "small-mindedness" disappeared in an instant.
She smiled, "You won't."
Ran Xiaoyu glared at her again: "You still have a conscience when you say this."
“…”
"If you dare to think of me as a two-faced villain like Xia Yunting, hmph!"
Nan Yan was so happy that she went forward and hugged her: "No, no."
“…”
"How can you be so two-faced? Just one knife, just one knife."
Ran Xiaoyu was amused by her and wanted to laugh, but she tried her best to hold it back. She just said with a straight face: "Let go, it's hot!"
The two laughed and joked for a while, and then had dinner.
Perhaps because she was too tired from practicing archery with Zhu Chengxuan today, Ran Xiaoyu went to bed early and slept until dawn. Nan Yan had already gotten up, but she was still lying there.
Nan Yan walked to her bedside and said softly, "Xiao Yu, it's time to get up."
Ran Xiaoyu lazily opened her eyes and glanced at her, then said, "It's still early."
"It's getting late."
"I'm so tired..."
"What's wrong? Are you sick?"
Nan Yan reached out and touched her forehead worriedly. She didn't have a fever, but she spoke and breathed softly, as if she was really tired.
Nan Yan asked, "Are you going to work at Yonghe Palace today? If you're not feeling well, I'll ask the Empress for leave for you."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu half-closed her eyes again, and after a while she said, "The Queen Mother has told me not to go to Yonghe Palace."
“…”
"Recently, I have only been accompanying His Highness in martial arts training."
“…”
"But it seems that there is no need to attend court today. Ye Zheng said... today, he will take His Highness to familiarize himself with the situation in the palace..."
Nan Yan said, "You look so breathless. How about this, I'll go and tell His Highness and Ye Zheng for you."
Ran Xiaoyu was silent for a while, then said, "Pour me a glass of water."
Nan Yan hurriedly poured a glass of water and brought it to her mouth. After she drank it, she gritted her teeth and climbed out of bed, saying, "I still have to go. We martial artists cannot be defeated by laziness."
Nan Yan looked at her with some admiration.
Then he asked in a low voice, "Are you really okay?"
Ran Xiaoyu shook her head: "Just get up and move around and you should be fine."
Nan Yan helped her put on her clothes, and after washing up and eating something, Ran Xiaoyu seemed to have really sobered up a little, and the two of them left Ye Zheng and went wherever they wanted to go.
She went to Wuying Palace.
Because he had been away from Jinling for a long time and had a lot of things piled up, Zhu Feng had been busy dealing with his state affairs and reviewing memorials. Nan Yan stayed by his side without making any noise, pouring tea and water for him, grinding ink, and organizing documents.
When everything was finally done and it was time to go back, Zhu Feng said, "By the way, fresh bayberries were delivered today."
When Nan Yan heard this, her saliva suddenly welled up in her mouth.
Seeing her greedy look, Zhu Feng couldn't help laughing.
Said: "It's not much, just a few baskets."
"……oh."
"I asked them to send you a basket."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nan Yan suddenly smiled with joy.
Zhu Feng also smiled, but warned: "Don't eat too much. Eating too much of that thing is not good for you."
"I understand."
After hearing this, Nan Yan ran happily towards the Ye Ting.
As soon as she arrived at the Ye Ting, she saw two young eunuchs putting a basket of bayberries into her room. They wiped their sweat and said with a smile, "Officer, the things are here."
Nan Yan said, "Thank you both for your hard work."
The two young eunuchs also knew that Nan Yan was about to be canonized, so they smiled flatteringly and said, "The emperor really favors the female officials now."
"These fresh bayberries are delivered in a basket at a time."
"Yeah, some people can't even catch one of these."
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment: "Who is it?"
"Who else? Xia Zhaoyi from Shou'an Palace."
"Yes, the emperor ordered one basket to be sent to you first, but then he calculated that one basket was missing, so he stopped sending it to her."
"oh……"
When Nan Yan heard this, she just smiled, grabbed some money and stuffed it into their hands. The two young eunuchs thanked them profusely and left.
Looking at the fresh and bright red bayberries in the bamboo basket, Nan Yan couldn't stop swallowing her saliva.
But why hasn’t Ran Xiaoyu come back yet?
She wanted to wait for her to come back and eat together.
Thinking about how Ran Xiaoyu looked a little dazed and staggered when she went out this morning, Nan Yan simply walked towards Chengqian Palace to see her.
Flowers and willows are scattered along the way.
After a while, they arrived at Chengqian Palace, but as soon as they reached the palace gate, they saw two people hugging each other behind the gate.
It's a man and a woman.
Nan Yan's cheeks suddenly turned red.
Of course, she knew some things about the relationship between men and women, and she also knew that the palace maids and eunuchs would have "couples" when they were lonely.
Naturally, she would avoid this kind of situation.
He quickly turned his head to the side.
But, there was a skip in my mind.
That man didn't seem to be wearing eunuch's clothes.
And that woman—
