Chapter 2051 Meeting
"Master Xue, enter the palace."
Following Nan Yan's words, Xue Yun felt as if a new world had suddenly opened up before her eyes. Just as she was walking forward in a daze, a loud bang sounded behind her.
She turned back hurriedly.
It turned out that the tall palace gate that I had just seen was slowly closing, and several gatekeepers inserted the huge bolt.
Xue Yun suddenly felt panic for no reason, but didn't know what to do.
Nan Yan looked at her, smiled and said, "Don't be afraid."
Hearing her say this and looking at her gentle smile, Xue Yun felt a little more at ease and nodded gently: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nan Yan smiled and lowered the curtain.
After a while, their team stopped.
When Xue Yun looked up, she saw a sea of colorful flowers and green willows in front of her, which dazzled her eyes immediately. Upon closer inspection, she found that it was a row of concubines, each of them dressed in silk and satin, with pearls and jade on their heads, with beautiful faces and graceful temperament, like a painting.
Her heart suddenly sank and she couldn't help but lower her head.
The convoys also stopped.
The Emperor and Empress got off the carriage first. As soon as they stood still, the concubines came forward and kowtowed, saying, "Your Highness, long live the Emperor. We also pay our respects to the Empress."
Zhu Feng turned around to look at them and waved his hand: "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
On this side, Ran Xiaoyu and the others helped Nan Yan slowly get off the carriage.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on her.
A few months ago, news came back that the imperial concubine was pregnant again, and the whole palace was talking about it. Now, when they saw her again, she was already pregnant and about to give birth, and everyone's expressions became complicated.
However, everyone still came forward to pay their respects immediately: "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan had been sitting in the car for half a day, and her waist was a little sore. At this time, she held Ran Xiaoyu's arm with one hand and supported her lower back with the other hand, and said lightly: "Don't be polite."
"Thank you, Madam."
As soon as the words fell, a familiar voice rang out from the crowd——
"After several months of absence, I didn't expect that the Imperial Concubine is already pregnant. The Northwest is indeed a wonderful place. The Imperial Concubine got pregnant right after her visit, which makes all of us sisters envious."
Nan Yan raised her head and looked indifferently at the person who spoke.
It was none other than Concubine Hui Wu Wan.
The sharp look in her eyes remained the same, even unchanged.
Of course, Nan Yan didn't expect her to change.
However, under normal circumstances, there would always be people supporting her when she spoke, but at this moment, although Concubine Xu and the others were still following her, they were embarrassed and did not dare to speak.
After all, everyone was looking at Nan Yan's belly, and many things were hard to say.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "The Northwest is indeed a good place."
“…”
"If Concubine Hui likes it, I'll ask the Emperor to take you there next time."
Her calmness and gentleness made the other party feel as if he had punched cotton, with no power at all. Just as he was feeling frustrated, Ran Xiaoyu added, "It's just that the weather over there is bad. I'm afraid that if your majesty doesn't encounter anything else, she'll be caught in a sandstorm, which would be bad."
"you--"
Before Wu Wan could say anything, Gao Yurong beside her gently pulled her aside.
It turned out that it was Zhu Feng who came over.
Wu Wan gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger.
Zhu Feng walked over, glanced at them, and then said, "What are you talking about? Why are you so noisy?"
Everyone around smiled, and Gao Yurong immediately said, "Empress Hui is inquiring about the Imperial Concubine's pregnancy."
“…”
"The Imperial Concubine is now pregnant with a dragon descendant, and I and the others are delighted."
Zhu Feng turned around and looked at Nan Yan again.
He whispered, "Are you tired?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's not bad."
"That means I'm tired."
“…”
"Go back and rest first. If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow."
"yes."
Nan Yan nodded. Just then, someone came in to take them back to the palace. Nan Yan had just taken two steps when she suddenly remembered something. She turned around and looked at the figure in the crowd who seemed a little confused and at a loss.
Xue Yun, she was looking at everyone at a loss.
The scene just now, although just two sentences, made her once again feel that it is not easy to survive in the harem, and made her feel even more depressed.
When Nan Yan turned around and looked at her, the people around who were paying attention to the imperial concubine also followed her gaze.
Suddenly surprised.
Although Zhu Feng brought some people from outside the palace on this trip, such as the brothers Gu Yiyu and Tong Sinian, after entering the city, they were separated and asked to return to Gu's house first; the Wen family members were also taken to the residence arranged in advance.
Therefore, the team returning to the palace was almost entirely made up of people from the palace. Although not everyone knew all of these eunuchs, palace maids, guards and personal soldiers, their faces were basically familiar, and their clothes could also be used to identify what they did for a living.
There was only this person whom they did not know at all.
A young man who looked handsome and weak, no more than twenty years old, wearing a long green gown, was well-mannered and had a pale face.
How could such a person follow into the palace?
Several concubines whispered, "Who is this person?"
“I haven’t seen it.”
"Did you bring it back from the northwest?"
"Why did you bring it back to the palace?"
…
Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Nan Yan said softly: "Your Majesty, Master Xue——"
Zhu Feng also looked back.
Then he said, "I just got back. I'll have Wang Baizhi take her to the Imperial Hospital to register. I'll come back tomorrow to check your pulse. You can go back and rest. You don't have to worry about what's going on here."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "She has just arrived in Beijing and is unfamiliar with everything. The Emperor should ask someone suitable to look after her."
"I know, go back and rest."
"yes."
Nan Yan nodded and turned away.
Zhu Feng then turned around and looked at Xue Yun, who was also looking at them. Seeing the imperial concubine leave and the emperor looking at her, she wanted to go over but didn't dare to.
Can only stay where it is.
Zhu Feng said: "Yufu."
Eunuch Yu hurried forward.
Zhu Feng said, "That's Xue Yun. This time she's going to work in the Imperial Hospital. Find a place for her to stay outside first, and then have Wang Baizhi take her to the Imperial Hospital to register. From now on, she and Wang Baizhi will be responsible for the Imperial Concubine's pulse safety."
“……!”
Eunuch Yu was a little surprised.
Because he was too old, he did not go to the northwest with them. He did not expect that the emperor would bring back such a person, and directly enter the Imperial Hospital, and let him be responsible for the imperial concubine's pregnancy.
This is too much trust in him.
However, Eunuch Yu did not say much, but only smiled and said, "I understand."
After saying that, he walked over and said, "Mr. Xue, come with us."
Queen Xu Miaoyin didn't say anything, but just watched the scene calmly, while the concubines beside her had different expressions on their faces.
