Chapter 1376 She is completely humiliated
When Ran Xiaoyu came back, Nan Yan was leaning against the head of the bed with her eyes closed. There was a teacup on the small stool beside the bed, and the tea had gone cold.
"My lady, has Little Button come here?"
“I’ve been here.”
"Then why don't you get up and eat?"
"I, I'll wait for you."
Ran Xiaoyu glanced at her. Although it was her duty as a palace maid to serve the empress, Nan Yan was used to being diligent when she was a palace maid and a female official, and rarely asked for food and clothes to be given to her.
This is clearly "laziness".
Ran Xiaoyu walked to the table, opened the lunch box, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
There are mostly some warm and nourishing meals inside, as well as a bowl of medicinal soup. The rich aroma is mixed with a hint of medicinal flavor, which makes people feel refreshed as soon as they smell it.
She hurriedly placed a small table next to the bed, laid out the dishes, and served Nan Yan dinner.
Nan Yan didn't say much and ate obediently. Ran Xiaoyu asked from the side, "When Xiaokouzi came just now, did the Queen tell him about Aunt Tongyun asking her to boil some medicine?"
"I told you, can't I handle this little thing?"
"That's good. I was afraid you'd be sick and forget everything."
"Don't make me sound so stupid. By the way, why did you take so long just now?"
"Didn't the Queen ask me to wash the quilt cover? I was worried it wouldn't dry quickly after washing, so I lit a stove and dried it for a while. Now I'm hanging it up to dry. It will definitely be dry before dark."
Nan Yan held the bowl, took a sip of soup, looked up at her and smiled.
Ran Xiaoyu asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Nan Yan said: "You are much more careful than before."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu was silent for a while, then glanced at her coldly: "You make it seem like I was so careless before."
Nan Yan also smiled, but said nothing more and continued to drink her soup with her head down.
The soup tastes very good, rich and fragrant, but since it is a medicinal soup after all, there is always a slight bitter taste at the end.
This complex feeling made her feel mixed emotions.

Another day passed, and the rain still didn't come.
Instead, after noon, the thick dark clouds in the sky cracked open and the sun shone through again.
After the imperial physician came to Jianfu Palace to take Feng Qianyan's pulse, he gave her some instructions and said, "Your Majesty's pulse is stable, and the fetus is fine. However, she has been immobilized for several days, and her body has become a little weak. When the sun is shining, take a walk in the Imperial Garden. It will be beneficial for the birth."
After hearing this, Feng Qianyan nodded and agreed.
The imperial physician packed up his medicine box and left, instructing the doctor that the imperial pharmacy would deliver the pregnancy-maintaining medicine in a while.
So Feng Qianyan asked the palace maid Hanxiang to accompany her to take a walk in the imperial garden.
Hanxiang helped her walk forward while saying, "Your Highness's Jianfu Palace is in a bad location. It's dark and damp, and far from the Imperial Garden. Your Highness, why don't you tell the Empress to find another place to live?"
Feng Qianyan looked at her: "Tell me, what's good?"
Hanxiang said, "I think the Yanxi Palace is quite good."
“…”
Feng Qianyan didn't say anything when she heard these three words. Instead, she turned to look at her with a half-smile. Then she saw Han Xiao deliberately smile and said, "Besides, shouldn't that be where 'Empress Ning' lives?"
With a "puchi" sound, Feng Qianyan couldn't help laughing.
She said, "You little hoof, I knew you thought so."
"Don't you think so, Madam?"
“This palace…”
Feng Qianyan raised her eyebrows but didn't speak immediately.
It's not that she hasn't thought about it. It should be said that she has thought so since she returned to the capital and saw the former "Empress Ning".
Since I am already Concubine Ning, shouldn't I have everything she once had?
Moreover, everyone knew about the relationship between the King of Wei and the former Concubine Ning due to the series of events that had happened before, but they just didn't say it out loud.
In addition, Zhu Feng had been in the imperial study recently and was rarely seen. Every time they met, for some reason, the King of Wei would come to pay his respects with Princess Xinping. That naughty girl would burst into tears and make a fuss when she saw her. Once, the emperor even asked her to leave.
That time, she was completely humiliated.
From that time on, she hated King Wei in her heart.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei may appear harmless on the surface, but he is actually very vicious in his heart. If it weren't for him, how could I have not even had the time to say a word to the Emperor for so long?
Thinking of this, the resentment in my heart deepened.
However, she still had some concerns. Firstly, she was pregnant with a dragon seed and was the target of jealousy by many people in the palace. She did not want to be too conspicuous, lest she attract attention.
Secondly, Qin Ruolan is also a special existence. Even though she has no name and no status now, she can still live in the Yanx Palace. The emperor has never ordered her to leave. It is conceivable that it is not so easy to pry her out.
Feng Qianyan felt that she needed to think about it again.
She was just thinking about it when suddenly, Hanxiang beside her gently shook her arm and said to the front: "Madam Qin is here."
Feng Qianyan hurriedly raised her head and saw Qin Ruolan and the little palace maid Xiao Lian walking towards them.
Her brows furrowed slightly.
He secretly said, "She'd better not provoke me before I provoke her."
Hanxiang looked at her: "My Lady, what did you say?"
"nothing."
Feng Qianyan raised her head, put on the posture of Concubine Ning, and walked towards Qin Ruolan. After a while, the two were face to face.
She stopped, curled the corner of her lips and looked at Qin Ruolan coldly.
That expression seemed to say, let me see what you think.
Qin Ruolan had been walking towards her. She hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and bowed to her, "Your Highness, Concubine Ning."
A triumphant smile appeared on Feng Qianyan's face.
She said, "Madam Qin, it's been a long time since we last met. How come I saw you leaving the Yanxi Palace today?"
Qin Ruolan's stunning face, due to its excessive paleness, looked even more gloomy at this moment. She said lightly: "It's a rare good day today, come out and take a look."
"That's right. It's time for you to come out and meet people, otherwise - everyone will forget about you."
“…”
Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Qin Ruolan gritted his teeth.
Her face was still calm and somewhat cold, and she said lightly: "Thank you, Concubine Ning, for your concern."
After she finished speaking, she took another deep breath and then said, "By the way, Concubine Ning has been walking in this imperial garden for quite a while. There is a pavilion over there where you can rest. Would you like to go over there, Concubine Ning?"
Feng Qianyan didn't realize that there was something wrong with her words, as her ankle was a little sore.
Then he said, "Let's go."
So, Qin Ruolan turned around and walked forward, and Feng Qianyan followed behind her, and the two walked one after the other on the narrow flower path.
Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded behind them.
