Chapter 1170 Sometimes, you also need to recognize the master
"only--"
Nanny Su looked at her carefully: "Over at the Yanxi Palace..."
As soon as Xu Miaoyin heard it, she understood what she was going to say.
She said calmly, "What happened to the Yanxi Palace? Just distribute Concubine De's things according to her quota. If there are any other rewards, it's her business. Do you still need to ask?"
The maids around were silent.
Nanny Su looked embarrassed and said softly, "Your Majesty, I'm not talking about Concubine De, but Ning—but Lady Qin."
A cold light flashed in Xu Miaoyin's eyes.
Everything in the palace, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, is distributed according to the quota of each palace. For example, what the imperial concubine should get, even if she has been demoted to the cold palace, but as long as the title remains, she must get everything she deserves every month.
But Qin Ruolan is different.
She was no longer Concubine Ning, but just an ordinary Lady Qin. Even if the emperor made an exception and took her out of the cold palace to live in the Yanx Palace, she would get nothing without her status.
If the emperor had given her another reward, that would be another matter, but during this period, Zhu Feng was busy with the affairs of the Jian family and Prince Ning, and he didn't even have time to see her, let alone think of her and give her anything.
So, since returning to Peking, there has been no spark of fire in her room.
Even though spring was almost here, her breath still turned into ice at night and she was freezing to death, but she managed to endure it.
Thinking of such a beauty who had been spoiled since childhood and was originally the emperor's treasure, but now was abandoned like a piece of trash, Nanny Su felt so distressed that she could only send her things over secretly. However, she was just an ordinary nanny and her allowance was limited, which was not enough.
That's why she was so "shameless" to ask the Queen.
Xu Miaoyin raised her eyebrows.
She didn't say anything, and Chun'er behind her immediately said, "You've been in the palace for so many years, don't you know what the rules are?"
“…”
"Whatever each palace deserves, the master gives the order, and I come to collect it. You ask this question, is it because the Empress has treated someone in a palace unfairly?"
"No, no."
"A mere little Lady Qin, whose affairs still need to be reported to the Empress, should the Empress just take care of her every day instead of worrying about the harem?"
Nanny Su lowered her head in shame: "Miss Chun is right."
After saying that, he could only step aside.
Normally, she was in the cold palace, guarding her own world, and no one could offend her. But now, because of Qin Ruolan, she could only flatter the queen and beg her, but was rebuked by Chun'er, and she felt ashamed.
Xu Miaoyin walked forward.
After taking two steps, she stopped, looked back at Nanny Su, and said, "I know that you once served the Imperial Concubine."
Nanny Su's heart trembled.
The imperial concubine she was referring to was, of course, the imperial concubine Qin of that time.
She raised her head and looked at Xu Miaoyin, who said calmly, "Sometimes, you have to know your master. If you follow the wrong person, you will regret it in the future."
After saying that, he left.
The palace maids and nannies naturally followed with a smile.
Watching their receding figures, Nanny Su recalled what the Queen had just said. But then she thought of Qin Ruolan's pale and helpless appearance in the Yanxi Palace, and murmured sadly, "After all, she is Concubine Qin's niece. How can I just ignore her?"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away lonely.
On the other side, Nan Yan had no idea what was happening outside. She didn't sleep well last night and was just about to take a rest when the Queen talked for a long time again.
Finally, the Queen left. Aunt Tongyun came in and said softly, "Your Majesty, you should get some sleep."
Nan Yan nodded and leaned back on the couch.
But I couldn't sleep.
Xu Miaoyin’s words just now kept echoing in her ears, and even caused ripples in her heart.
I didn't expect rumors to spread throughout the city so quickly.
You know, this is how the world is. Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles, let alone rumors about the emperor. Such secret rumors are something that people will tell even if they are beheaded. I'm afraid that the news will soon be known to everyone.
Only then will Zhu Feng be in real trouble.
For an emperor to rule the people, the most important thing is the people's hearts. Previously, he had seized the throne from his sons and nephews through the Jingnan Campaign, which had already caused a lot of criticism; then he had to move the capital, which was such a big thing. Some people were happy and some were worried, and the voices against him never stopped.
Now, another rumor has emerged.
It is nothing more than a knife, but the handle is in everyone's hand.
He might be hard-pressed at this stage.
Aunt Tongyun washed the bedding and hung it out in the yard, then brought back new bedding. When she entered the room, she found Nanyan still had her eyes open and was not asleep.
He whispered, "Your Highness, why haven't you rested yet? Didn't you say you were very tired?"
"I can't sleep."
"So what are you thinking about?"
"I," Nan Yan said softly, "I remembered some things from my childhood."
"When I was little?"
Aunt Tongyun was a little surprised. The Queen had just said so much about the Emperor, Prince Ning, and the Jian family. She thought the Imperial Concubine couldn't sleep because of them.
So, are you thinking about your childhood?
Aunt Tongyun smiled and said, "What are you thinking about, Madam?"
Nan Yan raised her head and was about to say something when suddenly, footsteps and noisy voices were heard outside, as if many people were walking towards this side.
The two people looked at each other.
Aunt Tongyun hurriedly said, "I'll go take a look."
As she walked over, Ran Xiaoyu just happened to come out of the side room on the other side. The two of them bumped into each other, looked forward, and were immediately startled.

When Zhu Feng came out of the imperial study, dusk had already fallen.
The setting sun's light shone on his face, perhaps because it was too dazzling, he felt a little dizzy. He reached out to hold on to the door frame. Eunuch Yu beside him hurried forward and asked, "Your Majesty, is Your Majesty feeling unwell?"
Zhu Feng frowned and waved his hand: "I'm fine."
"The Emperor hasn't eaten all day. Let's go back and ask the Imperial Kitchen to send some food."
“…”
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Go to the imperial kitchen and serve the meal."
"yes!"
Hearing that he was finally willing to eat, Eunuch Yu was so happy that he wanted to leave, but Zhu Feng said, "Let them send it to the cold palace."
"Well?"
Eunuch Yu was stunned. When he turned around, he saw Zhu Feng walking towards the cold palace without looking back.
I don’t know if it’s because of the fiery sunset, but the tips of his ears seem a little red.
Eunuch Yu happily went down to pass on the message.
Zhu Feng arrived at the cold palace alone very quickly. He walked along the familiar path and soon arrived at the small courtyard.
However, as soon as he reached the door, he was stunned.
