Chapter 1169: Already an Old Couple
She smiled and said, "I heard that the emperor came here last night?"
“…”
Although she knew that this matter could not be concealed from others, Nan Yan couldn't help blushing when she heard the Queen mention it in person.
She whispered, "Yes."
Xu Miaoyin walked over with a smile, took her hand and sat on the couch, saying softly, "What's there to be embarrassed about? You're already a noble concubine, and sleeping with her is commonplace. Why are you embarrassed at this moment?"
indeed.
They have even given birth to a daughter and are already an old couple. If they still feel embarrassed about such things and pretend to be shy like a young girl, they are really hypocritical.
However, Nan Yan's face was still a little hot.
After all, she came to the cold palace to express her attitude and position, but Zhu Feng's staying overnight seemed to make her attitude and position a joke.
Therefore, the Queen's tone of voice also became subtle.
Xu Miaoyin said softly, "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, why are you still staying here? You should go back to Yikun Palace."
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then looked up at her and said softly, "Your Majesty, the Queen knows that my crime has not been cleared yet."
“…”
Xu Miaoyin also hesitated slightly.
In fact, this matter was very clear in the palace, or in other words, among the few of them, but Nan Yan did admit her "affair" with the Emperor of Dan in front of everyone at the altar. This matter was not resolved, and she was indeed still a criminal woman.
Nan Yan said, "Rules are rules. If the people who make the rules don't follow them, the people in the palace will be in chaos."
I didn't expect her to say that.
Xu Miaoyin originally thought that she was just angry with Zhu Feng because of the Jian family's affairs, so she moved to the cold palace, but she didn't expect that she had such thoughts.
Xu Miaoyin looked at her for a while, then said, “But you are wronged here.”
Nan Yan shook her head and looked at Xu Miaoyin with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't matter to me where you live, it's just——"
"only?"
Xu Miaoyin frowned slightly, but immediately understood: "You miss Princess Xinping, right?"
"Yes."
After all, she had been used to a hard life since childhood, and after entering the palace, she had the experience of being a palace maid and a female official in charge of the imperial treasury. Such a life was nothing to her. However, the separation from her daughter made her feel even more sad.
Xu Miaoyin said, "Don't worry, I'll bring her to see you in two days."
"Thank you, Queen."
"And that little monk who performed so meritorious deeds, his name is Mingxin, right?"
"Yes, he is now—"
"I have asked him to stay temporarily at the General's house. After all, you brought him back. What we will do with him in the future depends on your arrangements."
Nan Yan said, "Thank you, Queen, for your trouble."
Xu Miaoyin looked at her haggard expression, sighed softly, and said, "With you here, I don't have to worry a lot."
Nan Yan lowered her head.
After a moment of silence, she looked at Xu Miaoyin again, hesitantly saying, "Empress, that—"
"Um?"
"King Wei, does he know?"
When Xu Miaoyin heard about the "King of Wei", a hint of gloom flashed across her eyes.
This time, at the gate of Jinlou Villa in Hecheng, Nan Yan beat Qin Ruolan, but she covered up the matter with just one sentence in front of Zhu Feng. Although they did not break up openly, it was almost the same.
Because of the matter of King Wei, Xu Miaoyin has a weak spot.
However, perhaps because she saw her attitude, Qin Ruolan became much more honest after that. Not only did she not mention the matter of King Wei again, but even though she had a hard time recently, she did not say anything more in front of Zhu Feng.
Xu Miaoyin could feel that she was trying to ease the situation.
After all, her position in the harem was limited, and at best she could only be restored to Concubine Ning. If she offended the Queen, even Concubine Ning would not have a good life, not to mention the future of King Wei, which she also had to consider.
It is precisely because of this that the situation has become "stalemated".
Since Qin Ruolan didn't mention it, Xu Miaoyin also put it aside for the time being.
Xu Miaoyin said: "Not yet."
"Then, what does the Queen intend to do?"
“…”
Xu Miaoyin was silent for a while, then smiled at her and said, "Don't worry about Madam Qin's affairs. I will take care of it."
Feeling that although Xu Miaoyin was gentle, there was a hint of fierceness in this matter, Nan Yan stopped talking.
So the two of them chatted for a while longer.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Miaoyin stood up and prepared to leave. Just as she was about to leave, she seemed to have thought of something and turned back to Nan Yan and said, "If the imperial concubine doesn't want to leave, I won't force her. However, the emperor has been troubled by many things lately. If he comes here, please comfort him."
When she heard the word "troublesome things", Nan Yan couldn't help but frown.
"Still, is it about the Jane family?"
"And there's the matter of Prince Ning."
As Xu Miaoyin spoke, she told her some of the fragments she had heard in the imperial study before.
Her voice was very low. After all, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and it was taboo for the two of them to discuss this. After hearing what she said, Nan Yan frowned even more tightly.
She looked at Xu Miaoyin and vaguely felt that the purpose of her visit this time seemed to be for this.
She thought for a moment and said, "What does Master Hei say?"
Xu Miaoyin said: "When I came here, He Yi was discussing this matter with the emperor. Of course, how to deal with it is their men's business."
“…”
"All we can do is to make them relax and stop distracting themselves by coming to the harem, right?"
“…”
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment and smiled awkwardly.
Xu Miaoyin's words were not a blame, but they did point to her point.
Xu Miaoyin smiled, said goodbye to her, and turned to walk out.
However, just as she was halfway there, she saw some maids coming forward to greet her and offer flattery. One of them said with a smile, "If the Empress has any instructions, just let Miss Chun tell her. Why bother coming to this filthy place in person?"
Xu Miaoyin only said: "The imperial concubine is here, you should be more careful."
"Yes, the servants all know."
As he was speaking, he walked out and saw Nanny Su coming towards him.
She originally served in the cold palace, but after Zhu Feng took Qin Ruolan away from the cold palace, she was transferred outside to take care of some miscellaneous matters.
Although it was a good job, she now looked more haggard than before, with a look of worry between her brows.
He stepped forward and saluted Xu Miaoyin: "Empress."
"What's up?"
"Your Majesty, there has been a severe cold snap recently, and the palace needs to have its ground heating systems lit again. I have already ordered charcoal to be delivered to each palace."
"Um."
"only--"
Nanny Su looked at her carefully: "Over at the Yanxi Palace..."
