Chapter 3586 It Must Be You
Although Zhu Feng's words were a comfort, Nan Yan already had a thorn in her heart called "Monk". Now that she heard that he seemed to be doing something again, the thorn began to move in her heart, touching her old wound again and again.
The fact that there has been no war with the Kingdom of Dian over the years does not mean that Nan Yan has forgotten everything in the past.
She had never truly forgotten Monk's schemes against her and the harm he had done to Zhu Feng.
This man looked elegant and like a playboy, but his mind was full of sinister plots, and every one of them was deadly. Even if Zhu Feng didn't mention it, Nan Yan always felt that there had to be a result between them and Monk.
only--
Nan Yan couldn't sleep when she was worried about something. She tossed and turned until most of the night, barely closing her eyes until dawn. Fortunately, Zhu Feng hadn't slept with her these days in order to get a good rest, otherwise he would definitely have scolded her.
Nan Yan woke up when a faint morning light came through outside.
Although she didn't sleep much the previous night, she wasn't sleepy. She sat on the bed and watched the light outside gradually climb up the window frame. She could also hear the sound of people walking in the south courtyard.
After sitting quietly for a long time, she sighed.
Immediately, Ruoshui's cautious voice came from outside the window: "Is the Queen awake?"
Nan Yan raised her head and said, "Come in."
"yes."
The door was immediately pushed open, and Ruoshui came in with two little palace maids, holding a copper basin filled with warm water, a green salt towel and other things in her hands. She walked over to hang the curtain, helped Nanyan get out of bed to wash, and then helped her walk to the dressing table to sit down and comb her hair.
Nan Yan looked at Ruoshui in the bronze mirror and couldn't help but smile.
Normally she was always chattering, and even after not seeing her for a night, she would still have endless things to say when she came to help her get up. But today she was very quiet, and although she was efficient in her work, Nan Yan could clearly feel that she had been distracted several times.
When she was combing her hair, there was a tinkling sound when her hands moved. Nan Yan looked at the bronze mirror and saw a bracelet hanging on her fair wrist, and she immediately understood.
Then he said, "You are wearing heavy makeup now."
Ruoshui was originally distracted and didn't come back to her senses after hearing this. She let out an "ah" and thought for a moment before she immediately said, "Your servant, your servant didn't have any."
"Still saying no?"
Nan Yan deliberately glanced at herself in the bronze mirror: "Look at your face, it's so red."
“…”
"If you want to use rouge, you don't have to put it on like this. It's so red it looks like nothing."
Ruoshui's face turned pale with fear, and she said hurriedly, "I don't have any!"
After saying that, she stretched out her hand and wiped her face vigorously, then put her palm in front of Nan Yan and said, "Look, my lady, when did this servant put on rouge?"
Nan Yan said, "Oh? You didn't apply it? Then why is your face red?"
“…”
"Who do you want to be famous?"
Hearing this, Ruoshui immediately understood that Nanyan was deliberately teasing her. She immediately lowered her head in embarrassment and whispered softly, "No, I'm not thinking of anyone."
Nan Yan suppressed her laughter and continued, "Didn't think about it? No way."
“…”
"Don't lie to me. Lying to me is a serious crime."
“…”
"I noticed you were distracted today. Could it be that you were thinking about—" She said, looking at the bracelet on Ruoshui's wrist, "Could it be that you were thinking about the person to whom you gave this?"
Ruoshui's entire body turned red as if she had been steamed.
Just at this moment, Aunt Tongyun also brought in breakfast. Taking one look at the master and servant, and then at Ruoshui's face, which was red with embarrassment, she immediately understood what was going on and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is truly good at predicting things. Nothing can be hidden from you."
Ruoshui immediately said, "Auntie!"
Aunt Tongyun laughed and said, "Who do you think you can hide this from?"
Nan Yan turned around with interest and said, "If there is anything you want to hide from me, please tell me."
Ruoshui finally realized what was going on. They were deliberately teasing her. She stamped her foot in anger and turned away. Aunt Tongyun tried to pry her back but couldn't. So she smiled and said to Nanyan, "She's still embarrassed. When Master Lu came to give her something yesterday, she didn't seem embarrassed at all. She accepted it so readily."
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows: "Oh, was that a gift from Lu Linchuan?"
"Yes,"
Seeing that Nanyan's hair was already combed, Aunt Tongyun helped her walk to the table and sat her down. She poured her a half-bowl of porridge and handed it to her, saying with a smile, "Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Prince of Han was out of the palace with Wei Xiaohou and the others. Coincidentally, the Empress had asked Delu to go out to buy some goods, so they ran into each other. I saw Master Lu standing in front of a roadside jewelry stall for half a day, carefully selecting, and almost annoying everyone with his questions."
Ruoshui originally turned her back and ignored them, but when she heard them talking about Lu Linchuan, she couldn't help but turn around and listen.
Her face was red, which made her eyes look bright.
Nan Yan glanced at her, smiled silently, and said to Aunt Tongyun, "He is very considerate."
Aunt Tongyun was serving Nanyan some food with chopsticks while she smiled and said, "That's right. Delu had some free time, so I just watched from the side. He carefully selected for a long time and finally chose this string. I wonder who he was going to give it to, but then I saw it on this girl's hand that night."
Nan Yan asked, "When was it delivered to her?"
Aunt Tongyun smiled and said, "After dinner, His Royal Highness the Prince of Han ate with them outside before returning to the palace. As soon as he returned, Master Lu came over. I saw with my own eyes that Master Lu handed the gift to her. This girl was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling."
Ruoshui immediately said, "I don't have any!"
Aunt Tongyun said, "You said you didn't have it. If you didn't like it, why would you take it with you? And you even brought it to the queen today."
Ruoshui pouted and said, "He said it himself. If I don't want it, he'll just throw it away and not give it to anyone else."
“…”
"I thought it would be a shame to throw this thing away, so I just kept it."
Nan Yan chuckled and said, "Oh, that's a really sweet thing to say. If you don't want it and you won't give it to anyone else even if you throw it away, then it means you're the only one I can have. Lu Linchuan has set his sights on me."
Ruoshui's face was about to turn red.
She hesitated for a long time before walking to Nan Yan's side and said cautiously, "My Lady, you won't be angry, will you?"
Nan Yan glanced at her and said coldly, "You two did this behind my back, and now you ask me if I'm angry. If I were, I'd be so angry that I'd die!"
Ruoshui knelt down in front of her: "I dare not."
