"Concubine Ning?"

Aunt Tongyun said in surprise: "Why did the Empress ask about her?"

Nan Yan thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just think she seems to be silent. In this harem, no one has anything to do with her."

Aunt Tongyun smiled and said, "The Empress is really right."

“…”

"I often say this in private."

“…”

"I heard from the people who served in the Yanxi Palace that although she and Empress Depin lived in the Yanxi Palace together, the two of them didn't say a word for ten days and half a month."

“…”

"Empress Depin is the most unpretentious person in this palace and is generous to his subordinates."

“…”

"Even she and Concubine Ning have nothing to say."

Nan Yan said softly.

"Speaking of it," Aunt Tongyun continued: "Didn't she bring her from the Emperor Yan's Mansion in Peking? She has been the concubine of the King of Yan before."

"oh……"

Nanyan then remembered.

Yes, Qin Ruolan was the concubine of the King of Yan before, and he did not enter the harem after Zhu Feng ascended the throne.

Aunt Tongyun said, "If the Empress wants to know her, she will probably have to ask the old people in the Yan Prince's Mansion. The servants have been serving in the Jinling Palace and do not know her."

"Um."

Nanyan nodded.

This person seems interesting.

After washing her face, she wiped her hands clean and handed the towel to Aunt Tongyun. Aunt Tongyun smiled and said, "By the way, why did the Empress suddenly become interested in her?"

"Or, nothing."

Looking back at the look she looked at Zhu Chengxuan just now in Chengqian Palace.

It seems that she is not a truly indifferent person either.

She murmured, "She is so beautiful, but so cold... Maybe, there is something unbearable to look back on."

Aunt Tongyun looked back at her.

After a while, he smiled and said, "The Empress is also very beautiful."

When Nan Yan heard this, he blushed a little: "What are you talking about?"

She still knows what she looks like. Maybe it’s not ugly, but it’s really far from being as beautiful as Qin Ruolan.

Aunt Tongyun smiled and said, "Really, the Empress and Concubine Ning even look like each other."

"I'm not as cold as her."

"It's not indifference, but that kind of heart."

Aunt Tongyun smiled and said, "There are not many people in this palace who are so arrogant."

“…”

Nan Yan listened, and was a little dazed for a moment.

Heart qi?

In fact, most of my enthusiasm comes from the stubbornness I have developed from the difficulties and difficulties I have experienced since childhood, and part of it, actually comes from Zhu Feng.

She could understand that Zhu Feng was different to him.

So, she dared to make trouble with him, argue with him, and even confront him.

But what about Concubine Ning?

Where does her cold but lonely spirit come from?

She thought, slowly walked to the dressing table and sat down, staring at herself in the bronze mirror for most of the day.

Do you really look like her and she?

Time flies very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, two days have passed.

Nan Yan held a silk handkerchief he had embroidered, and a lifelike cold plum on it. He looked at it left and right, and knotted the last silk thread with satisfaction and bit it off with his teeth.

Nian Qiu, who was standing beside him, looked at him and said softly: "The Empress is so amazing."

“…”

"So beautiful."

Nanyan himself was also very satisfied.

When I was a child, I worked so much that I could do this kind of work. She knew several embroidery methods, which were no less than those embroidered girls in the embroidery room.

But this time, she didn't embroider anything too complicated.

It's just a piece of silk squid and a cold plum.

Although this silk veil is simple, the snow-white veil is set against the bright red plum blossoms, giving people a very elegant and lofty feeling.

It's like that beauty.

Nian Qiu whispered: "Is this the Empress going to use it for the Emperor?"

Nan Yan smiled and shook her head.

If it was for Zhu Feng, it would not be embroidered with cold plums.

It should be embroidering a tiger.

She couldn't help but smile, thinking of Zhu Feng's feeling of using a handkerchief embroidered with a tiger, she was inexplicably a little funny.

Nian Qiu said softly again: "That's the lady, this."

Nanyan spread his handkerchief and said, "This is my birthday gift to Concubine Ning."

"Ah? This?"

"Um."

"Will this be too?"

Shrimp?

It's indeed a little shabby.

Gifts in the palace are not gold and jade vessels, and I feel embarrassed to take them out.

But Nan Yan felt that when he gave those things, he was afraid that he would be embarrassed to show them to Qin Ruolan.

She smiled: "The gift is light and the affection is heavy."

Nian Qiu looked at the silk squid, then looked at Nan Yan, and said softly: "I think the Empress seems to be particularly good to Empress Ning."

"ah?"

"Although it was the birthday of Concubine Ning, I heard that there was no one in the palace to celebrate."

“…”

“No one gives gifts either.”

“…”

"Only the Empress still remembers her."

“…”

Nan Yan smiled herself.

For some reason, when Zhu Feng's concubines came to Jinling, the first thing she saw was Qin Ruolan.

She is the one who is most interested in.

He just smiled and said, "Everyone is serving the emperor in the palace, they are sisters. I'm kind to her, it's nothing."

After saying that, he got up, dusted the thread that had fallen on his body, and then said, "Nianqiu, you are here to guard me, I'll go out."

"Empress, don't you want me to serve me?"

"No need. I'll be back in a while."

"oh."

Nianqiu responded obediently.

Nan Yan left Yikun Palace alone.
