Chapter 833 God cuts off her path!
It seems that Jian Ruocheng has returned and resigned from his post. Only if he resigned would he be completely absent from the crowd coming to welcome the emperor.
Nan Yan's mood suddenly darkened for some unknown reason.
At this time, several figures walked towards him. Needless to say, they were the Queen Xu Miaoyin and the concubines in the harem.
Xu Miaoyin had just exchanged a few words with Zhu Feng. After the emperor and empress had exchanged greetings, she walked up to Nan Yan and said with a smile, "Your Highness."
Nan Yan hurriedly bowed, "Your Majesty, the Queen."
Xu Miaoyin reached out to support her and said with a smile, "Get up. I know you gave birth in the palace, and I've been worried. Let me see the little princess."
"yes."
Nan Yan turned around, took little Anping from Aunt Tongyun's arms, and brought him to her.
Xu Miaoyin came over to take a look and immediately smiled: "She is so pretty, such a lovely child."
Nan Yan smiled.
"This child has the emperor's eyebrows and eyes, and her mouth and chin are like her sister's. She is a perfect example of a beauty. When she grows up, she will definitely be a great beauty."
"Thank you, Queen, for your kind words."
At this time, Zhu Feng turned around and said, "Okay, it's windy outside, let's go back to the palace first."
"yes."
Everyone obeyed and followed him back to the palace.
After returning to the palace, Zhu Feng naturally went to the imperial study. Although these days all major matters were handed over to the temporary palace for him to handle, there were also some minor matters that could not be completely handled even though He Yi and others were handling them.
So, he had to go and take a look.
Nan Yan naturally returned to her own Yiku Palace.
But even though she returned, she still couldn't find peace and quiet immediately, because not long after she sat down, the Queen Mother came to see her with other concubines.
After all, having a new princess in the harem was a big deal for Zhu Feng, who only had one son, the Prince of Wei, and had few offspring, and even for the entire harem.
Especially, the princess.
Before, when the news of the imperial concubine's pregnancy reached back to Jinling, everyone was shocked when they heard about it. Fortunately, she gave birth to a princess, so everyone felt a little more relieved and their mood was high when they came.
A group of women surrounded the little princess and kept teasing her.
Little Anping was also happy and laughed loudly.
They chirped and said, "The little princess is so cute."
"Yes, like a snowball."
"It's a rare occasion for us to have another child in our harem. This is such a happy occasion."
…
Everyone was talking at once, but then someone in the crowd said quietly, "It would be great if it was a prince."
“…”
Suddenly, the atmosphere became quiet.
Nan Yan was originally standing aside, accompanying them and protecting Xiao Anping. When she suddenly heard these words, it was as if a knife had stabbed into her chest without warning.
The smile on his face froze slightly.
Everyone looked up at her.
Huipin Li Pan'er said, "Yes, Noble Concubine, I heard that you gave birth to a little prince, right?"
“…”
Nan Yan was speechless for a moment.
His face also turned pale.
Xu Miaoyin immediately said, "Don't mention this matter anymore."
Everyone looked at each other, and their expressions became a little subtle.
At this moment, a voice came from the door: "Yes, mentioning this matter also makes the Royal Concubine sad. After all, not everyone has experienced the pain of losing a child."
These words were like a sharp knife stabbing into Nan Yan's heart.
When I looked up, it was none other than Wu Wan.
She had a "kind" smile on her face, walked forward, and bowed to Xu Miaoyin, saying, "I pay my respects to the Queen."
Everyone also stepped forward: "Greetings to the Concubine Kang."
Xu Miaoyin's expression was solemn. She glanced at her and then said, "Concubine Kang, it's a good thing that you've been reinstated this time. I hope you can remember the lessons of the past and not let it happen again."
Wu Wan smiled and said, "I understand."
After she finished speaking, she immediately added, "By the way, Empress, the woman named Feng Shu that the Emperor brought back this time, I have just arranged for her to stay in the East Garden."
East Garden is where concubines are selected to enter the palace.
This arrangement obviously treated her as a concubine.
Xu Miaoyin nodded calmly, then said, "Very good. I will deal with her affairs later."
Nan Yan also knew that since she was a woman sent by the Kingdom of Neng, she had to be canonized no matter what.
Thinking of the unpleasant incident before, her already heavy mood became even more gloomy and her face became paler.
Looking at her expression, Xu Miaoyin said, "Okay, the imperial concubine is tired too. We can't stay any longer. Let's all go back."
Everyone then stood up and said, "I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he walked out.
Xu Miaoyin turned around and said to Nan Yan, "The Imperial Concubine still seems a little weak. She finally came back. Rest well. There are some things—don't think too much about them."
Nan Yan said softly, "Thank you, Queen."
Xu Miaoyin nodded, turned around and left.
Although the concubines left the Yiku Palace, they did not disperse. After all, Concubine Kang was reinstated, and the emperor stayed in the Wu family's Jinlou Villa for such a long time this time. Everyone had a vague feeling that her spring had come again.
So, except for Li Pan'er and a few others, everyone else became her vassal.
Wu Wan, naturally, enjoyed this feeling very much.
After hearing enough of everyone's flattery, she waved her hand calmly and said, "Alright, I know you all care about me. Now go back. I'm tired and want to go back to Chonghua Palace to rest."
Then everyone dispersed.
Gao Yurong naturally followed her and said softly, "It's great that the queen has been restored to the throne this time."
"Hmph," Wu Wan snorted coldly, "A Si Nanyan wants to step on me. She's dreaming."
“…”
"Without the support of her family, how far can she go on her own?"
"But this time, she gave birth to a little princess."
"What's a princess? She died after giving birth to a prince. Isn't it God who cut her off?"
Having said that, Gao Yurong also nodded.
Indeed, when they heard that the prince Si Nanyan gave birth to was stillborn, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Given the emperor's fondness for her, if that prince were really alive, I'm afraid the harem would be in turmoil right now.
No, not just the harem.
I am afraid that the previous dynasty will also stir up a huge wave, and the emperor will definitely enthrone her son as the crown prince.
This time, God really helped them.
Gao Yurong said softly: "Then our next step is——"
Before she finished speaking, Wu Wan stopped.
When he looked up, he saw King Wei Zhu Chengxuan walking towards the Yiku Palace with a smile on his face not far ahead.
The two men looked at each other, and a cold light flashed in their eyes.
Now, it doesn’t really matter whether it’s the princess or the imperial concubine.
What matters is—
Who is the prince!
