Chapter 2058: How happy it was at that time
Although Nan Yan planned to visit Xin Ping earlier, after Gu Tingqiu said goodbye and left, she did not get up immediately, but sat in Yiku Palace for a long time.
Gu Tingqiu's words were like thunder in his ears.
Even when she changed her clothes and took Ran Xiaoyu out to Chengqian Palace, Gu Tingqiu's words kept echoing in her ears -
"As a cabinet minister, I cannot just think about my own family."
"What I have to consider is the world!"
"My Lady, is the King of Wei capable of such a great responsibility?"
…
"Mother?"
Ran Xiaoyu's voice suddenly rang in her ears, and Nan Yan snapped back to her senses: "Ah?"
Ran Xiaoyu supported her and said resentfully, "What are you thinking about again? You've even taken the wrong road."
“…”
"If you go any further that way, you'll end up in the lake!"
Nan Yan looked up and realized that she had reached a fork in the road, but she was still walking forward because she was lost in thought.
There is a lake in front of us.
As soon as she saw the shimmering lake in the sun, she couldn't help but recall the time in winter when she took Qi Qing, King Wei, and the chubby Xiao Xinping to skate on the lake.
How happy we were at that time.
But in the palace, happy times are always short.
They must be prepared to face all kinds of troubles when the sun rises every day.
Just like she said to Arslan, big things have big difficulties, and small things have small difficulties.
As imperial concubines and Kings of Wei, they also have to face various difficulties and choices.
Thinking of this, she sighed and turned to walk towards Chengqian Palace.
Ran Xiaoyu was still supporting her, and seeing her worried look, she said, "Your Highness, you are not listening to the Emperor again. The Emperor has told you to worry less and not give birth to a prince with wrinkles all over his face in the future, but you refused to listen and still wanted to meddle in so many things."
Nan Yan laughed and said, "Don't use the emperor to pressure me."
"snort."
"How can I not worry about the King of Wei's affairs?"
Ran Xiaoyu snorted again and said, "The Queen doesn't worry about it, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei stays indoors, yet you're running around."
“…”
"Are you the only one in the whole palace who is worried?"
“…”
Hearing her words, Nan Yan felt even more depressed.
Isn’t it?
Although it was the Queen who confined the Prince of Wei to reflect on his mistakes, now that the Emperor has returned to the palace, if he is willing, or has the courage, he should send someone to ask to see his father and explain everything to Zhu Feng.
The most important thing is to solve the current problem of his and Gu Qiqing's reputation being damaged.
But he never did.
Obviously, he was very afraid of Zhu Feng. After causing such a big disaster this time, he didn't dare to see Zhu Feng, let alone express his apology and opinions to him in person.
Nor do I dare to fight for myself and for the future.
If he doesn't even dare to take a step forward in his own life, can we still expect him to achieve greater things in the future?
Just when she was feeling upset, she finally arrived at Chengqian Palace.
As soon as I entered the palace, I heard a familiar voice crying inside -
"Woo woo, brother, brother, open the door."
"Brother, are you ignoring me?"
"Brother, open the door."
Upon hearing the voice, Nan Yan and Ran Xiaoyu looked at each other and hurried forward. Sure enough, they saw that the door of the main hall of Chengqian Palace was closed. A small, familiar figure was standing in front of the threshold, which was not much shorter than themselves, and a pair of small, fleshy hands were clapping on the door.
The palace maids and eunuchs following behind her were so panicked that they kept begging her—
"Princess, please stop."
"Be careful not to hurt your hands."
"Yes, Princess, you should go back. If people knew you were causing a scene here, the Emperor—he wouldn't dare to be angry with you, but we servants would lose our heads."
These people pleaded pitifully, but Xinping didn't care about them at all.
She just continued to bang on the door and howled at the top of her lungs, "Brother doesn't want me anymore, wuwuwuwu."
Seeing her like this, Nan Yan wanted to laugh but felt sad at the same time.
He hurriedly asked Ran Xiaoyu to support him. Just as he was about to step forward, he heard Zhu Chengxuan's voice coming from inside the closed door. He seemed to have walked to the door and said softly, "Xinping, stop making trouble and go back."
"elder brother!"
"Be good, brother is fine."
"Brother is fine, why doesn't father see brother?"
"Father...Father, he——"
When talking about this, Zhu Chengxuan's voice trembled a little.
As soon as Nan Yan heard their conversation, she stopped and stood at the bottom of the stairs, listening quietly.
Zhu Chengxuan hesitated for a moment before softly saying, "You, don't worry about it. Be good, Xinping. The sun is scorching. What if you get burned standing outside? Go back quickly. You servants, why don't you take good care of the princess? If she gets burned, the emperor won't forgive you!"
After saying that, the footsteps faded away.
He left the door again.
When Xinping heard her brother say this, she had no choice but to stop knocking on the door. The servants around her coaxed her for a long time before she turned around with a wronged look and prepared to return to the side hall where she lived.
As soon as I turned around, I saw Nan Yan standing in the yard.
Suddenly his eyes lit up——
"ah!"
Nan Yan had a serious expression at first, but as soon as she saw her daughter, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
His eyes were curved with laughter.
"Calm."
"Mother!"
Xinping was so happy that she almost jumped up. Of course, it might be because she was too fat that she couldn't jump up. She rushed down the stairs like a little meatball and ran straight into Nanyan's arms.
Ran Xiaoyu took a step forward and cut off the little ball of flesh.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
She broke out in a cold sweat.
If Princess Xinping crashes into Nan Yan's arms in this situation, won't she knock the prince off the throne?
Xinping was still a little confused and looked at her: "Fei Fei? Why don't you let mother hold me?"
After so long, she still only remembers her name as Ran Xiaoyu Feifei and has never remembered her real name.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Silly girl, your mother is pregnant now. Her belly is so big that she can't hold you anymore."
"Pregnant?"
Xinping blinked, and Ran Xiaoyu put her on the ground and said softly, "It means you are having a baby."
“…”
"Princess, be careful. The imperial concubine is pregnant with your brother."
"younger brother!"
Hearing this, Xinping was even more surprised. He stopped rushing forward and reached out to carefully touch Nanyan's big belly: "Is this my little brother?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Yes."
When the mother and daughter met, the palace maids and eunuchs behind them naturally came forward to pay their respects and congratulate them. Among them, Nanny Gui, who was taking care of Xin Ping, said carefully, "The Imperial Concubine has finally returned. Her Highness the Princess has been missing her for a long time."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Really?"
"Yes, but the sun is scorching in the courtyard. Your Majesty and the Princess should go back to your rooms and sit for a while."
"good."
She held Xinping's hand and looked back at the closed door of the main hall of Chengqian Palace.
Without saying anything, he took Xinping to her room.
