Just as he was thinking, Delu hurriedly walked in from outside: "Empress, Mrs. Li came to the mansion to pay tribute to the Empress."

"Madam Li?"

Nan Yan was probably anxious when he woke up early in the morning. At this time, he was not very clear-headed and frowned and said, "Which Mrs. Li?"

Delu couldn't help laughing and said, "What the Empress said is, who else is the other adult here with the surname Li?"

Nan Yan was stunned for a moment and immediately came to his senses.

"Look at me, that's so confused."

There is only one Lord Li here, but it’s just Li Bushen.

As usual, the imperial concubine followed the emperor to a place. In addition to the local officials who would accompany the emperor to inspect, there would be the wife of an official who would come to pay tribute to the imperial concubine and accompany the imperial concubine's leisure time.

Among the officials here, Cui Yuanmei has the highest rank, but he still has no wife or children. The other officials are not of sufficient rank, so their wives are naturally not qualified to accompany the imperial concubine. Only Li Bushang has sufficient rank and qualifications, not to mention that he has another relationship with the imperial concubine. Therefore, for reason, his wife should be allowed to accompany the imperial concubine.

But I didn't expect that Xie Jiaojiao came so early.

Nan Yan urged Ruoshui to comb his hair quickly, and then said to Delu: "Let her come in."

Delu immediately turned around and went out. After a while, he led a well-dressed lady in slowly. She walked to Nanyan and bowed to Nanyan and said, "My wife pays homage to the concubine."

“…”

The room was so quiet that there was no sound at all.

Ruoshui stood behind Nanyan. He originally thought that old friends met. No matter what, even if they did not show their affection, Nanyan would immediately let Mrs. Li avoid the gift and immediately give him a seat. However, when Mrs. Li fell to the ground, Nanyan disappeared for a while.

If she hadn't known about her character, Ruoshui would have even thought that the imperial concubine was deliberately making things difficult for Mrs. Li.

Seeing that she was still moving, Ruoshui coughed lightly.

"Empress..."

Hearing her voice, Nan Yan seemed to suddenly wake up and immediately said, "Oh, no, no gifts. Give a seat."

Mrs. Li, who was kneeling on the ground, said, "Concubine Xie."

After saying that, he slowly stood up. Delu next to him immediately moved a chair behind her. After Mrs. Li accused her of guilt, she sat obliquely on a corner of the chair. When she looked up, she met Nan Yan with a frown and a solemn expression on her face.

Looking at the other person's face as if he was a ghost, Xie Jiaojiao just smiled faintly and lowered his head.

At this moment, although she tried her best to control herself, Nan Yan still felt as if she was seeing a ghost.

Xie Jiaojiao...?

Is the person in front of me Xie Jiaojiao?

She really couldn't believe her eyes.

Although she has never seen this girl since Li Bushu got married, and it has been several years since she counted it, but this girl Xie Jiaojiao is indeed too special. She is completely different from the delicate and soft-skinned lady in the capital. Especially her ability to tame wild wolves is like a world-famous design to Li Bushu, so Nan Yan still has a very deep impression of her.

But she never thought that Xie Jiaojiao became like this after a few years.

Speaking of which, her appearance has not changed, and her clothes are more gorgeous than before, but Nan Yan clearly felt that something on her body was gone.

It seems to be her aura.

But, maybe there is more.

Not only did she lose the aura of rushing around and not afraid of anything, she even seemed to-

It seems that there is no vitality.

She sat there like a dull body wrapped in gorgeous brocade, with a stereotyped smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes, and her whole body seemed to lose its heat.

What's going on?

After not seeing each other for a few years, why does it seem like she has changed completely?

Nan Yan looked at her deeply, and for a moment she seemed to not know what to say, but it was really impossible not to say anything, because Xie Jiaojiao could not speak nonsense before the imperial concubine spoke.

After struggling for a while, Nan Yan said with difficulty: "Mrs. Li... How are you doing these years?"

Xie Jiaojiao looked up at her.

Then he smiled and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he seemed to think it was wrong for me to be so perfunctory, so he said again: "It's great."

“…”

Nan Yan's brows frowned.

A girl has gone from being so reckless that she dared to plot against her, and she has to consider every word and say it, but she seems to be being manipulated and said it. How could she be very good in the past few years?

Could it be that Li Bushu is not good for her?

She wanted to ask, but she felt that she shouldn't ask this.

Especially the other party is Li Bushu's wife.

So, Nan Yan forced a smile and nodded, "It's fine, it's fine."

After saying that, he still looked at Xie Jiaojiao intently.

Xie Jiaojiao sat quietly for a while, then smiled and said, "This time, the Empress followed His Majesty the Emperor to visit Yongzhou. She was exhausted all the way, and I thought it was very hard to come. I wonder if I had a good rest last night?"

Nanyan lit it: "Okay."

Xie Jiaojiao said: "Then, does Empress want to go to somewhere today?"

Nan Yandao: "Hmm?"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I heard that the Empress had also toured Yongzhou with His Majesty the Emperor in the past."

As she said that, the smile on her face became deeper, and her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water finally had a slight ripple, and her whole body became a little more energetic, saying, "If you don't hurt him, it seems that it was at that time, I followed His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress."

When talking about this, Nan Yan turned around.

He smiled and said, "He even told you about this."

“…”

"Yes, it's been more than ten years since he said that at that time, he was still a dark and thin child. Who would have thought that he had become the commander of the Jinyiwei. It has been almost two years since he brought you to Yongzhou to take office. Have you ever taken you to some old place to revisit?"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Yes, he has taken his wife to many places, and the scenery is good."

After saying that, Xie Jiaojiao looked up at Nanyan and said with a smile: "If you are interested, you might as well come to a place to visit again."

"this--"

Nanyan was a little hesitant.

After all, this is a border town. Although there has been no war in Yan and Yue countries over the years, after all, the prime minister of Yue countries, Chen Biri was assassinated on the border last month, which shows that this place is not completely safe.

What's more, you shouldn't go out and go around with your own identity.

Seeing her hesitation, Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "It's the wife who is talking too much. I think this place is both the old place and those things have happened. The Empress still has to avoid it."

When Nanyan heard this, her eyebrows frowned.
