Chapter 3343 Brother
Standing in front of Nan Yan was a girl who looked almost the same as her.
They have almost the same figure and appearance, with clear and bright eyes, and their eyebrows and eyes are full of a soft charm. However, compared to Nan Yan's icy skin, this girl's skin is darker, but her skin is smooth and has a faint fragrance, which shows that she is well maintained.
Of course, it was also because she looked several years younger than Nan Yan.
The moment their eyes met, Nan Yan immediately understood.
The person in front of him was none other than the favorite concubine of the King of Parthia that Gu Yiyou and the others had mentioned after they came back.
It was for her that the King of Parthia sent a special envoy from afar to Yan State to ask for the Golden Jade Clothes. Gu Yiyou and his companions also brought back news of her after leading a caravan to travel around the countries in the Western Regions. Since knowing that this favorite concubine of Parthia who looked similar to herself, Nan Yan thought about her every day, her identity, and her possible relationship with herself.
But they never imagined that the two would meet under such circumstances.
She was actually dressed as a maid.
At this moment, everyone in the pavilion was stunned.
Everyone just looked at Nan Yan and the girl facing each other, like flowers reflected in water, and soon everyone realized what was going on.
The minister Abihu's face changed and he stammered, "Oh, this, this——"
Zhu Feng also blushed.
Originally, it was thought that it was ridiculous for them to let the imperial concubine dress up as a palace maid to secretly meet the envoy of the Parthian Empire, but unexpectedly, the other party was also so ridiculous that they let a favorite concubine disguise as a maid and come all the way to the Yan Kingdom. Both sides thought they had hidden it so well, but when these two people met, everything was exposed.
This is what we call, ridiculousness versus ridiculousness!
So embarrassing!
Moreover, it is embarrassing for both sides.
At this moment, Zhu Feng wished he could punch himself a few times for not being able to resist Nan Yan's coquettishness and agreeing to her ridiculous thing without thinking. However, no matter how much he regretted it, the thing had already happened. The dozen or so people in the lobby were all staring at the scene in amazement, and no one even spoke.
It’s not that they couldn’t react, but it was really too embarrassing and no one could respond to it.
Zhu Feng had experienced so many ups and downs in his life, and he was never afraid even of life and death situations. But looking back, this meeting with the envoy of the Parthian Empire was the most embarrassing and difficult period in his life.
Even afterwards, he couldn't remember what they did or said during that half hour.
By the time I came to my senses, the awkward meeting was over.
It was almost time for lunch, and Zhu Feng had already arranged lunch. However, everyone tacitly left behind a palace maid and a servant, as well as a palace maid and servant beside them.
Zhu Feng was a little hesitant when he was about to leave. After all, this was not a trivial matter, and he also wanted to stay with Nan Yan, but on the other side was the special envoy of the Parthian Empire. Although such a ridiculous scene occurred as soon as he arrived, the diplomatic relations between the two countries were a major matter, and they did need to discuss it in detail. So, when he turned around to look at Nan Yan, Nan Yan nodded slightly at him.
Telling him not to worry about herself.
Zhu Feng then turned and left.
On the other side, Gao
After everyone left, only Nan Yan, the favorite concubine, Ruoshui, and a young maid behind the favorite concubine were left in the open pavilion.
Nan Yan said: "You——"
At this point, she suddenly paused, recalling that Gu Yiyou seemed to have mentioned before that this favorite concubine did not understand Chinese. She hesitated and wanted to ask someone to find an interpreter. At this time, the favorite concubine spoke: "I, I understand."
“……?”
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her in surprise.
The favorite concubine gestured with her hands and stammered, "I have learned it. It's not good, but I can speak and listen."
She does have a heavy accent when she speaks, but after speaking slowly, she can communicate.
I think she came here disguised as a maid because she knew something, which she knew when Gu Yiyou and others were on a diplomatic mission to the Parthian Empire. So during this period of time, she must have been preparing for the meeting with me and learning to speak Chinese.
Nan Yan nodded with relief.
Then he said, "Let's go out and talk."
So he took his favorite concubine out of the open pavilion. The weather outside was very good, with a cool breeze and the fragrance of fruit trees floating in the air. Although he knew that he was about to face a big event, Nan Yan felt inexplicably in a very good mood, and the corners of his mouth even curled up uncontrollably.
As she walked out, she could feel that the favorite concubine was looking at her.
After a while, they came to a pavilion by the river.
Since the visitor is a guest, the other party's maid cannot be moved. Ruoshui immediately took people to clean up, put a cushion on the stone bench, and brought some tea, melons and fruits. Only then did Nan Yan lead the favorite concubine to sit down.
As the two sat down, their eyes met again.
This time, I can see more clearly.
This favorite concubine was indeed 70% similar to her. Even an uninformed person could be sure of the blood relationship between the two. However, this favorite concubine was much younger and looked very innocent. When she looked at Nan Yan, her eyes were full of surprise and admiration without any reservation.
After a moment of silence, she said, "My name is Athaliah."
This name was obviously a bit complicated for Nan Yan. When she was about to repeat it, the favorite concubine of the Parthian Empire said, "My name is Xiyun too."
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.
She grew up in the Parthian Empire, so she had to have a Parthian name, but she was also a Han Chinese after all, so naturally she also had a Han Chinese name.
Xiyun.
Listen, it's quite unique.
Nan Yan said softly, "Xiyun. My name is Nan Yan, Si Nan Yan."
"Si-Nan-Yan."
Xiyun repeated the name in a stiff accent, then smiled at Nanyan: "You are my elder sister."
Nan Yan looked at her: "How do you know? How can you be sure?"
Xiyun said: "My brother told me."
"Brother?"
Nan Yan was shocked again. If this Xiyun was really her sister, could it be that they had a brother?
Just when she was about to ask, a young voice came from behind her, saying slowly: "Your Highness, I am her younger brother."
Nan Yan hurriedly turned around and saw that it was Gao Ye, the conspicuous Han Chinese in the special envoy group.
He walked over, bowed to Nan Yan, and then said, "I am also your father's closed disciple."
