Chapter 2306 I don't like people who are too smart
Behind them, on the fork in the road where the shadows of trees were swaying, a man slowly walked out, looking at their backs with a cold gaze.
But it was Concubine Shen Lianxiang.
Her face was solemn as she watched the two people's backs as they walked away, then turned back to look at the towering bedroom.
After a long silence, she turned and left.
In the bedroom, Nan Yan was talking affectionately with the newly promoted Concubine Yi, Li Pan'er.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi, suitable for the family."
“…”
"This title is really good, and it was drafted by the emperor himself. Sister, you must understand the emperor's intentions."
Li Pan'er had been in the palace for so many years, and today she was finally crowned a concubine. Not only did it bring honor to the family, but it was also the fulfillment of a long-cherished wish. She was so happy that her cheeks and eyes flushed. Hearing Nan Yan's words, she quickly stood up and said, "Yes, I will definitely keep your teachings in mind."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Hurry up and sit down. Don't stand up right after you start talking. You'll be exhausted."
"yes."
When Li Pan'er sat down, Ruoshui came in from outside and placed the tea tray in front of her: "Empress Yi, please have some tea."
Li Pan'er picked up the teacup, took a sip, and Ruoshui retreated silently.
Li Paner glanced at her.
Then he turned to Nan Yan and said, "My Lady, this palace maid looks a little unfamiliar."
Nan Yan said, "She just came to work for me."
"Is she the newly selected maid this year?"
"Not really. She was originally a disciple of Master Miaoming—the younger sister of Empress Renxiao—when she was preaching. But she didn't want to enter the Taoist sect and wanted to find a place to settle down in the secular world. I thought that since I live in a bustling place like this, I decided to keep her here."
Li Pan'er laughed and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is true. Is it the people around you who are making money, or is it her who is making money?"
Nan Yan also laughed.
Said: "The errands around me... are hard work, and whether they are lucrative or not depends on how each person thinks. But this girl, I still need her."
"I think she's quite clever."
"It's good to be clever, but sometimes being too clever can be annoying."
“…”
"I don't like people who are too clever."
“…”
"Being too smart and acting on one's own initiative can easily lead to trouble. It's better to be dumb."
At this time, Nian Qiu, who had recovered a little from his injuries, was about to come in with a plate of snacks and serve them. When he reached the door, he suddenly heard these words and his steps stopped.
Her face turned red and white.
After taking a deep breath, she walked into the bedroom and said to the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Yi, "Your Majesty, please have some."
Nan Yan glanced at her and said, "Isn't your injury still healed?"
"Slave girl, I'm much better now."
"Don't force yourself. Go down and take good care of yourself first. Come back and serve me when you're well."
"yes."
After Nian Qiu presented the things, he turned and left.
Li Pan'er sat in a chair, her legs a little stiff as she watched Nian Qiu step over the threshold. It was not uncommon for palace maids in the harem to be punished. Moreover, the news that Nian Qiu was beaten with a stick by the emperor had already spread throughout the harem.
However, judging from her appearance, she was sensible and didn't ask any more questions.
After drinking some tea, Li Pan'er thought of something and asked, "By the way, Madam, the New Year is coming in a few days. I wonder what plans you have for it?"
Nan Yan took a sip of tea and said, "I asked you to stay here to discuss this matter."
"oh?"
