Chapter 1246 She must find a backer!
After hearing what she said, everyone realized it.
Just yesterday, Concubine Kang, who was almost the focus of everyone, did not show up today!
Suddenly, some strange expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
Things in the harem cannot be hidden. Anyone who pays a little attention can find out how Concubine Kang "intercepted" the emperor at the gate of Yikun Palace a few days ago. Although the emperor finally returned to Yikun Palace, she was deducted half a year's monthly salary. And then, that incident happened again in the imperial garden.
It was obvious that she was competing with the imperial concubine.
And now, after playing so many tricks and still not getting any favor, the imperial concubine was found to be pregnant. This was a bolt from the blue for her.
No wonder everyone came today, but she didn't show up.
Everyone looked at each other, and smiled knowingly.
Nan Yan said calmly, "Didn't Concubine Kang have a foot injury? I'm afraid that's why she can't move."
Wu Wan smiled and said, "That's right."
“…”
"I thought she was afraid of the Imperial Concubine because of what happened yesterday."
“…”
Nan Yan frowned.
Of course she knew that Wu Wan was probably gritting her teeth over her pregnancy, so she deliberately provoked her with words. She originally wanted to retort coldly, but suddenly her ears echoed with the words Zhu Feng had said to her before -
"You've been a little irritable lately."
Although she had just sneered when she heard this before, and even Ran Xiaoyu said that Zhu Feng was a firecracker, but after thinking about it again, it seemed that she had indeed been a little irritable recently.
Otherwise, they would not have directly deducted half a year's monthly salary from Feng Qianyan without accusing her of any crime or evidence.
I didn’t think much of it before, but now that I know I’m pregnant, I’m reflecting on it.
Pregnant women are indeed hot-tempered.
Nan Yan smiled faintly, pretending to be unconcerned, and said, "She's injured, why would she be afraid of me?"
Wu Wan also laughed: "Yes, her injury is a minor one. The Imperial Concubine's matter is a major matter."
Nan Yan was too lazy to argue with her verbally. After all, she had already been in the spotlight enough at this time and really didn't want to compete for it anymore.
Xu Miaoyin watched coldly, and at this time she also said: "Okay, it's time for us to go back. We've been arguing here for a long time, my sister must be tired."
Nan Yan stood up hurriedly: "Where."
Seeing Xu Miaoyin stand up, everyone stood up as well. Xu Miaoyin turned back to Nan Yan and said, "This place is not like in Peking, nor is it like before. If there is anything you need, you must ask for it. Don't neglect the child in your belly."
Nan Yan said, "I know."
She nodded, then turned and left.
Everyone bowed to her and said goodbye, then left Yiku Palace.
When they reached the door, Wu Wan looked back again, her eyes cold, and said, "Where's Concubine Kang? Is there still no movement?"
Gao Yurong came over and whispered, "The people in Jianfu Palace have been watching her closely. They say that after she returned to Jianfu Palace yesterday, she has been staying indoors and hasn't come to see the imperial concubine."
"oh?"
Wu Wan raised her eyebrows. "She neither comes here nor seeks me out. Could it be that she really wants to go it alone?"
Gao Yurong thought for a moment and sneered, "Go it alone? Just her? She's just a little Concubine Kang. To put it nicely, she can even follow the Emperor to Nanjing. To put it bluntly, no matter if she's the Empress or the Imperial Concubine, she can be overthrown with one hand."
“…”
"Between the Empress and the Imperial Concubine, she must find a backer!"
Wu Wan sneered, "I just hope this person can keep his eyes open and look for it."
After saying that, she walked away gracefully.
Gao Yurong also sneered and hurriedly followed.
Nan Yan stayed in Yikun Palace and was indeed a little tired at this time. She asked Tingfu and the others to quickly move the gifts to the side room. She collapsed on the couch, her back extremely stiff. Ran Xiaoyu hurried over to help rub her back: "With them here, Your Majesty has no time to rest."
Nan Yan rubbed her brows and said with a wry smile, "This is a favor from the harem, I have to do it."
“…”
"Otherwise, do you think they would be willing to come over and say these things under the scorching sun?"
Ran Xiaoyu said disdainfully: "You clearly don't think so in your heart, but you still say so. Isn't it uncomfortable?"
Nan Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "You, if everyone was like you, there would probably be no conspiracy or treacherous things in the world."
Ran Xiaoyu glanced at her and said nothing.
Nan Yan looked outside again: "What time is it now?"
"It's the first quarter of the evening."
"It's so late, and you said you wanted to take a nap, but you didn't even get one. Xiaoyu, I'm going to sleep for a while. Call me when it gets dark."
"yes."
Ran Xiaoyu took a thin blanket and carefully placed it around her waist, then took a fan to fan her.
In the cool breeze, Nan Yan closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
In a blink of an eye, dusk fell.
Although she should have been woken up, looking at Nan Yan's tired expression and the fact that she hadn't even turned over in her sleep, Ran Xiaoyu knew that she must be very tired. She hesitated whether to wake her up.
But at this moment, Tingfu's footsteps were heard outside.
"Your Highness."
Ran Xiaoyu hurried over and opened the door: "Be quiet, the queen is resting."
"ah?"
Tingfu was stunned for a moment, and said in embarrassment: "But, there is someone outside who wants to see the queen."
Ran Xiaoyu frowned, and then she heard Nan Yan's voice coming from behind: "Hmm? Who wants to see me?"
When I looked back, she had woken up and was yawning in a daze.
Ran Xiaoyu hurried over to support her: "Madam, can you sleep a little longer?"
Nan Yan looked up at the sky and said, "I'm not going to sleep anymore. If I continue to sleep, I won't be able to sleep tonight. Tingfu, who wants to see me?"
Tingfu walked in cautiously and said a few words softly.
Nan Yan was stunned and turned to look at Ran Xiaoyu. Her brows also frowned, as if to say: What is she doing here?
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Let her in."
"yes."
Tingfu hurriedly turned around and went out. Seeing that it was getting dark, Ran Xiaoyu walked over and lit several candlesticks in the room.
Just as she picked up a candlestick and walked towards the couch, she heard footsteps outside.
The lotus steps are slow and graceful, accompanied by the fragrance of jasmine.
When I turned around, I saw Feng Qianyan's graceful figure appear at the door.
Her face was slightly pale, and her expression looked even more heavy when she walked in. When she saw Nan Yan sitting on the couch, she immediately stepped forward and knelt down in front of her.
"I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan looked at her with a half-smile: "How come Concubine Kang is here? It really makes my Yikun Palace shine."
