Chapter 825: How come you are so familiar with taking care of children?
In the past, the two of them were always mocking each other and were at loggerheads with each other. Nan Yan even publicly got angry with her because of the grandmother's matter. But now that they have this child, the relationship between the two has eased a little.
It's strange, the child obviously didn't do anything.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Before my grandmother passed away, Concubine Ning often visited her, right?"
Qin Ruolan said calmly: "I hope your Highness will not blame me."
At this time, Nan Yan actually calmed down.
She said, "During that time, my situation was special and I couldn't be with her every day. Concubine Ning often visited her to relieve her loneliness."
“…”
"Actually, I should thank you."
"Your Highness, you are too kind."
"There is one thing I want to ask you."
"Excuse me, Your Majesty."
Nan Yan looked at Qin Ruolan, her expression slightly solemn as she said, "During the time you visited her, did she tell you anything about your Qin family?"
Qin Ruolan's willow-like brows frowned slightly.
This question seemed to touch her heart.
Nan Yan's eyes were already fixed on her, paying attention to the slightest expression on her face. Seeing her looking at him with a complicated expression, he was silent for a long time and said, "Yes."
Nan Yan asked hurriedly: "What did she say?"
Qin Ruolan's expression was solemn as he spoke word by word: "She, she, mentioned my aunt, Concubine Qin."
“……!”
Nan Yan's heart seemed to be hit hard.
That’s right, during the period before Tong Yuhua passed away, she seemed to be in a trance and mentioned her in front of him more than once - "the girl of the Qin family" and "the Imperial Concubine Qin".
Nan Yan asked: "What did she say about her?"
Qin Ruolan replied: "The old lady may have talked about some things in the past, but because she was a little seriously ill and her speech was unclear, I didn't hear it very clearly. I only know one thing——"
"What?"
"She seemed to have a deep impression of my aunt, but she was very secretive about some past events."
Nan Yan felt her heart beating like thunder.
Her body was already badly damaged, and once she was nervous or under too much pressure, she would feel weak.
Unconsciously, my breathing has become a little short.
Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly asked: "My Lady, are you okay?"
Nan Yan waved her hand, then looked at Qin Ruolan and said, "Then how much do you know about your aunt, Concubine Qin?"
Speaking of this, Qin Ruolan's brows furrowed.
She glanced at Nan Yan hesitantly and asked, "Why are both the Imperial Concubine and Old Madam Si so interested in my aunt?"
Nan Yan said: "I just want to know."
“…”
"If Concubine Ning doesn't mind, could you please tell me about it?"
Qin Ruolan looked at her for a while, thought for a moment, and then said, "Actually, I don't know much about my aunt. She passed away a long time ago."
“…”
"My father told me everything about her."
“…”
"In the past, the Imperial Concubine once said that I came from a noble family. Actually, that's not true. I wasn't born into a noble family. My father and aunt were both Luo Xingwen's people."
When Nan Yan heard the name Luo Xingwen, her heart skipped a beat.
Qin Ruolan, on the other hand, said calmly, "Your Highness, wouldn't you be unaware of this person?"
"certainly……"
Luo Xingwen was the man who fought with Emperor Gao for the throne.
Now, the reason why the situation on Xingluo Lake is like that is because of him.
It turned out that the Qin family was originally under his command.
Qin Ruolan continued, "Father said that he, his aunt, and Luo Xingwen were sworn brothers and sisters. They were originally together when they started the uprising against the Kingdom of Dan. But later, when the war became stalemate, they joined forces with Emperor Gao to fight the enemy together."
“…”
"Father and aunt did a lot to unite the two forces."
Nan Yan couldn't help but sigh softly.
You know, when living in troubled times, many people will complain about the world, but only those with ambition will throw themselves into the turbulent torrent and do their best to contribute.
Unexpectedly, Imperial Concubine Qin Xixi is also such a person.
What a rare, extraordinary woman.
Because of their efforts, Luo Xingwen and Emperor Gao united their forces and became comrades fighting side by side; however, after expelling the forces of the Neng Kingdom from the Central Plains, the two of them became contenders for power.
Nan Yan said: "Then later -"
"Later, I heard from my father that perhaps due to some ideological issues, they gradually drifted apart from Luo Xingwen, and they joined the Gao Emperor."
"oh……"
Of course.
Otherwise, Qin Zhengqi would not have become the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, and Qin Xixi would not have become the Imperial Concubine.
Of course, these are what they deserve.
Nan Yan said, "Then why did Concubine Qin die so young, and why is there almost no news about her?"
Qin Ruolan glanced at her and said, "I don't know either."
"Your father..."
"He won't tell."
“…”
"It just requires me to go to Xingluo Lake every year to burn incense and sweep the grave for my aunt."
In other words, Qin Ruolan didn't know about Concubine Qin's death or some other things about her.
Nan Yan said "Oh" with some disappointment.
At this moment, the little Princess Anping in her arms suddenly burst into tears.
Nan Yan was startled and hurriedly held the child to comfort her, but the little Princess Anping seemed to be completely ungrateful. She cried louder and louder and kept tossing and turning in the cradle.
Nan Yan was already a little weak, and after holding the child for so long, she could no longer hold him.
Ran Xiaoyu immediately said, "Let this servant come."
As he said that, he took the child.
But the little princess became even more noisy.
Although Ran Xiaoyu was very attentive in her care, she was still an unmarried woman after all, and had no idea how to comfort a crying baby. Concubine Ning, who was standing by, watched for a while and said softly, "Let me do it."
She took the little princess, held her horizontally, and gently patted the bottom of the swaddling clothes with one hand, letting out a soft "ah ah" sound.
After a while, the little princess stopped struggling and crying and slowly fell asleep.
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her in surprise.
Qin Ruolan said calmly: "After the child finishes drinking milk and rests for a while, she must be allowed to sleep, otherwise she will be energetic again at night."
“…”
"A child can't speak, they can only cry. So, as a mother, you can only slowly understand whether she is sleepy or thirsty, or what she wants. Mother and daughter are connected by heart, and the Imperial Concubine will gradually understand."
Nan Yan's mind was already in a mess, and it became even more confused at this moment.
She subconsciously asked, "Concubine Ning, how come you are so familiar with taking care of children?"
