Chapter 2456 Take You to See a Play
At this time, Nan Yan was sitting in Yonghe Palace, talking with Concubine Shun, Concubine Yi and others.
Today, everyone came to pay their respects to the imperial concubine.
Nan Yan wasn't one to enjoy the hustle and bustle of life, and since giving birth, she'd been recuperating, so the Emperor had exempted everyone from the daily greetings to avoid disturbing her. However, with such a major event as the move to Yonghe Palace, no one dared to neglect it.
And today, the imperial concubine seems to be in a good mood.
After everyone came to greet her, she invited them to sit down and have tea, so everyone sat down and talked with her.
However, the only person serving was Aunt Tongyun, and she took half a day just to serve tea.
Concubine Shun, who was sitting below Nan Yan's left hand, said softly, "Aren't there two palace maids beside the Empress?"
Nan Yan said, "They went to do other things."
Concubine Shun whispered, "With the departure of Miss Xiaoyu, the Empress's assistant, I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower. It would be better to inform the Emperor to add another person to avoid delaying the Empress's work."
Nan Yan sighed and said, "Let's talk about hiring people and money later."
“…”
"Nowadays, both inside and outside the palace are advocating frugality, so I shouldn't be too extravagant."
Concubine Shun said softly, "But Her Royal Highness the Princess also needs someone to take good care of her."
Nan Yan said, "It's okay. Doctor Wang comes to see her often and says that her condition is relatively good and she should be able to wake up soon."
"That's good."
Shun Fei thought about it and said softly, "I'm also thinking about finding time to go and worship the Bodhisattva and ask him to bless Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Nan Yan said gently, "Sister Shunfei is thoughtful."
Xin Qing just nodded, turned around, and saw Jingpin Shen Lianxiang, who was sitting below her, frowning slightly, holding a teacup in her hand, staring at the tea in a daze.
She whispered, "Sister Jingpin, what's wrong with you?"
"ah?"
Chen Lianxiang seemed to wake up suddenly, looked at her, and immediately said: "No, it's okay."
On the other side, Xipin Ruanmei sneered and said, "I see Jingpin is always thinking about things. I wonder what big things a little concubine can think about. Are there so many things in the harem that you need to worry about?"
Shen Lianxiang glared at her.
But she didn't get angry, she just smiled and said, "Sister Xipin, you are joking."
“…”
"Your Highness is the head of all the concubines in the harem. Now she holds the Phoenix Seal. If there is anything to worry about, it is Your Highness who is worrying about it. How dare I interfere?"
"I'm glad you know."
Concubine Xi sneered, "I'm afraid you'll end up stretching your hands too far, just like you did at Sishan Gate."
Chen Lianxiang's face turned a little ugly after what she said.
But, I still kept it to myself.
A little lack of patience will ruin great plans.
Today, she came to Yonghe Palace with all the concubines just to let everyone watch the good show together. She would not make trouble with this brainless woman before the good show started.
I'll talk about it in the future when I'm of a higher rank than her.
So, I just gritted my teeth and smiled.
Nan Yan sat above, watching their verbal sparring quietly, and just picked up the teacup and took a sip without any expression.
At this moment, Nian Qiu hurried in from outside.
"Empress!"
Nan Yan saw that her face looked a little anxious and asked, "What's wrong?"
Nian Qiu took a step forward, trying to whisper something in her ear, but Nan Yan frowned and said, "There's nothing to hide. The sisters in the harem and I are as close as family. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Nian Qiu said softly, "I just heard that Doctor Xue came into the palace and went to the Emperor's study. And the voice inside—"
She bit her lower lip, looking as if she couldn't say anything.
When everyone heard this, they all had strange expressions on their faces.
In fact, the name Xue Yun in the harem means more than just an imperial physician.
Because of the incident involving Concubine Kang, rumors were everywhere; and the emperor actually announced her identity as a woman in the Wuying Palace, and also appointed her as the first female medical officer of the Yan Kingdom. Although this quelled the previous rumors, another kind of rumor slowly spread.
In particular, it was the attitude of the imperial concubine that made everyone more suspicious.
But since she has not been officially canonized, some things are hard to say.
Now, the maid in the Imperial Concubine's palace actually came directly to report the whereabouts of Doctor Xue. In other words, the Imperial Concubine has been sending people to keep an eye on her these days, and I'm afraid she is wary of her.
But she actually ran to the imperial study.
Everyone looked at each other, and their expressions looked very subtle.
Jingpin Shen Lianxiang, who was sitting behind Shunfei, carefully looked up at Guifei, but she didn't see any expression on her face immediately. Shen Lianxiang frowned slightly.
This imperial concubine has never been one to keep calm when it comes to matters concerning the emperor.
Last time, she clearly said that if anything happened between the emperor and Xue Yun, she would not even want to be the imperial concubine. Now that things have come out, she must not go back on her word.
Thinking of this, Chen Lianxiang said softly: "Doctor Xue... is very highly valued by the emperor."
She deliberately emphasized the word "reuse".
At this moment, a slight smile appeared on Nan Yan's face.
At this moment, no matter who it was, even Concubine Shun Xinqing, it would be impossible for her to laugh, let alone the Imperial Concubine with such a strong temper. She and the Emperor had been in a cold war for so long, wasn't it just because of Xue Yun's matter? Now that this happened, she was probably laughing.
Everyone looked at the smile on her face carefully.
They all felt the meaning of "laughing in anger" in their hearts.
Nan Yan smiled, her eyes gleaming with a light that was unclear whether it was joy or anger. She said, "It seems that some people are just so naive. If you give them a little sweet treat, they will really give it to you without thinking."
When everyone heard this, they knew it was talking about Xue Yun.
Since the imperial concubine can say such words, I am afraid she will not let him off easily.
Seeing her like this, Concubine Shun was afraid that she would say something else, so she just said softly, "Your Highness, please calm down. Such a person is not worth your anger."
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Jing behind her spoke softly.
"That's what she said, but this Xue Yun is really going too far. The Imperial Concubine is still here, and she actually did such a thing. Doesn't she look down on the sisters in the harem, let alone the Imperial Concubine?"
“…”
"What will happen in the future?"
Although her voice was gentle, her words were full of hidden sharpness.
When Concubine Shun heard this, her brows furrowed.
Nan Yan glanced at her.
Suddenly he smiled again.
Everyone felt that her smile at this moment was not just a "laugh of anger", but more like a smile with a bit of ferocity, which made people feel cold.
Then he said, "It's rare that everyone is here today."
As she spoke, she placed her hands on the armrests of the chair, propped herself up, and said, "How about I take you to see a play today?"
