Chapter 2298 A Special Person
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Hurry up, Madam. All the civil and military officials will go to the Jiyan Palace today. Oh, and I heard that someone special is coming today."
"Someone special?"
Nan Yan was straightening her clothes. Upon hearing this, she turned around and looked at her: "Who is it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tingfu ran in from outside.
He panted and said, "Your Majesty, all the civil and military officials and concubines in the harem are waiting in the Jiyan Hall. Your Majesty must go there quickly and cannot be later than the Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan didn't have time to ask any more questions and hurriedly walked out with her clothes in her hands.
After traveling quickly all the way, we finally arrived at the Jiyan Hall.
Sure enough, all the civil and military officials arrived and stood in the open space outside the hall. Although the wind was howling and the snow was flying, a thin layer of snow soon fell on their official hats and shoulders. When they saw the imperial concubine coming, they all bowed their heads and saluted.
Nan Yan slowly walked into the hall.
Inside, there was still the smell of incense curling up, and several concubines were standing on both sides of the hall. Concubine Shun Xinqing, who had been ill, also came at this time.
His face was paler than the white banner on the wall behind him.
All the concubines kowtowed to Nan Yan. Nan Yan simply raised her hand to let them stand up, then walked up to her and whispered, "Are you feeling better, sister?"
Concubine Shun said softly, "I'm much better now. I'm sorry to have worried about you, Your Majesty."
Nan Yan said, "I am as sad as you are, but you should take care of yourself. If the late Empress knew, she wouldn't want to see you like this."
Concubine Shun choked up and said, "I understand."
Nan Yan nodded.
Turning around, I saw Concubine Hui Li Pan'er standing on the other side.
She was well-behaved, but her eyes were always on Nan Yan. When she saw Nan Yan looking back at her, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty."
Nan Yan looked her up and down.
Then he said, "Thank you for your hard work these past few days, sister."
Li Pan'er said hurriedly, "I dare not complain, but I didn't do the job well and caused Your Majesty trouble."
Nan Yan said: "You are still young, just gain more experience."
Li Pan'er seemed to understand the deep meaning of her words and quickly knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
While they were talking, a person standing next to them kept staring at them silently without saying a word.
It was Concubine Chen Lianxiang.
Ever since the incident at Sishan Gate that day, she had been a little uneasy and wanted to go to Nan Yan to test her opinion and attitude, but the emperor had issued an oral order that no one in the harem needed to pay their respects in the bedroom so as not to disturb her rest, so she could not go.
Today, I finally saw the imperial concubine appear again.
However, from beginning to end, the imperial concubine did not even look at her.
Seeing this, Chen Lianxiang didn't dare to interrupt, but just stood there quietly, as if she didn't exist in the Jiyan Hall.
At this moment, the young eunuch outside shouted, "General Xu has arrived."
When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads.
Because the queen's coffin will be sent to the Grand Altar today and will be buried there after the imperial mausoleum is built, all of the queen's family members must be present today.
Nan Yan saw the tall Xu Shifeng walked in.
Following closely was his thin and pale brother Xu Shizong. After he walked into the Jiyan Hall, he did not look at the crowd, but just covered his mouth and coughed lightly.
Behind him are his wife Gu and daughter Xu Xiaoxiao.
Seeing them all come in, Nan Yan was about to turn around, when suddenly, she saw a strange figure walking into the hall behind them.
