She originally thought that Concubine Ning would say something polite like "Come and see you".

But Concubine Ning said calmly: "Of course there is something wrong."

“…”

"The Imperial Concubine has already said that she doesn't want to see her. If it weren't for the sake of the emperor, I wouldn't be willing to come and ask her for annoyance."

"For the Emperor?"

Nan Yan frowned slightly.

Of course, she thought of the predicament Zhu Feng is facing now.

Did Qin Ruolan come for this?

Although from the bottom of her heart, Nan Yan's heart couldn't help but move slightly when she heard her say such things. She thought for a while and then said, "Okay, sit down."

Qin Ruolan stood up, walked to the chair on the side and sat down.

Nanyan said to Nianqiu: "Give tea."

Soon, the refreshment was delivered, and Nanyan gave another wink, asking Ran Xiaoyu to take Nian Qiu and the others to exit the room. Although Ran Xiaoyu was a little worried about Concubine Ning, she always felt that her concubine was like a jade doll that would break whenever she touched her, for fear that Concubine Ning would bump into it.

However, seeing Nan Yan's instructions like this, she had to withdraw.

Watching not far from the door.

Nan Yan also sat on the chair, raised her head, looked at Concubine Ning, who looked much more solemn than before, and then said, "Come and come to me, what are you doing for the sake of the emperor?"

Qin Ruolan made it straight to the point: "I believe the Empress already knew that the Emperor's construction of the Beiping City this time had been opposed by the ministers. They jointly wrote a letter asking the Emperor to stop the construction of the Beiping City."

Nan Yan said lightly: "The harem cannot interfere in politics."

Qin Ruolan said, "But, did the Empress go to the Emperor's study as well?"

"I went there to serve the emperor for dinner, so that he would not only care about national affairs and forget his own body."

"If this matter can be solved, the emperor's meals and physical affairs will be trivial matters."

“…”

Nan Yan frowned: "Can you solve this problem?"

Qin Ruolan smiled coldly and said, "What kind of virtue is that I am just a small concubine in the harem."

"What do you mean when you come to me?"

"I can't, but Imperial Concubine, you can!"

Nan Yan stared at her for a while, then said, "Concubine Ning, are you kidding me?"

“…”

"The emperor is having a headache about this matter, that is, even the emperor cannot solve this matter so quickly."

“…”

"Now you say, can I solve it?"

“…”

"Is this palace different from you? Not a concubine in the harem?"

Qin Ruolan said lightly: "But you are pregnant and you are loved by all."

“…”

For some reason, these words were obviously a kind of flattery, and they were also what Nanyan liked the most and wanted to hear the most. No matter who said it, they would make her taste a kind of sweetness.

But, from Qin Ruolan's mouth

But it was full of irony.

She was telling herself that her pampering was because of pregnancy.

Her brows were tightened.

Then he said, "If you come to mock me, or if you want to play tricks on me, you don't have to."

Qin Ruolan said, "My words are not a joke. The Empress is now pregnant with Liujia, and it is very likely that she can give birth to a prince for the Emperor. Over the years, the Emperor has only one King of Wei, and his offspring has withered, so the Emperor attaches great importance to the Empress's child."

“So what?”

"So, the emperor will not do anything that is not good for the Empress, or that makes the Empress unhappy."

“…”

Nanyan seemed to have heard something and said: "For example."

"For example," Qin Ruolan looked straight into her eyes and said, "This time, the emperor decided to stay in the Yan Palace of Beiping for a whole year, but he did not even have a concubine summoned to serve in Beiping."

“…!”

Nanyan's heart sank.

She had never thought about this before because she was unwilling to think about it, but after hearing what Qin Ruolan said, her mind suddenly became broader.

Indeed, when the emperor arrived in a place and decided for a long time, how could he have no concubines to serve him?

I am already pregnant and cannot bear the rain and dew.

Concubine Ning Zhu Feng also clearly showed her alienation.

There must be no women around the emperor, or, rather, some ministers in the court were waiting for the emperor to summon the concubines in the palace to his side.

But, none of them.

The queen wanted to stay in the palace, but it was understandable that she didn't come, but none of the others came.

This is indeed inconsistent with reason.

Nan Yan frowned and glanced at Qin Ruolan.

Qin Ruolan said, "Since the Empress knows that this time, many court officials have written letters together, do you know what kind of ministers they are?"

Nan Yan thought about it, and when he spoke again, his voice became slightly astringent.

She said: "Of course I won't know what the name is on the memorial, but I can imagine that they are all southern officials."

"That's right."

Qin Ruolan said: "Then, the empress thinks how should the officials in the north perform in this storm?"

“…”

To build Peiping, the emperor wanted to shift the center of power and culture to the north, and of course, officials in the south did not do it.

However, this is a great joy for the officials in the north!

Even more than just officials from the north.

The gentry in the north, the students in the north, and even the people in the north will benefit from this matter.

So, if someone wants to object, then it is natural that someone must support it.

One rises and the other falls, which is the constant principle!

Nanyan whispered: "Officials in the north should agree."

"That's right," Qin Ruolan said calmly: "So, who is the leader among the officials in the north?"

“…!”

Nanyan's heart trembled again.

Officials from the north, the leader.

Needless to say?

Wu Yingqiu.

Henan Provincial Administration Secretary Wu Yingqiu, he was Duke Cheng again, and naturally he was an invisible leader among the northern officials!

But

"But, in this storm, he can't see his shadow."

Qin Ruolan said word by word: "Empress knows why?"

“…”

Nanyan couldn't speak.

The feeling of stuffiness in her chest just now surged into her heart again, and even made her feel a little dark in front of her for a moment.

Of course she knew why.

Qin Ruolan understood as soon as she could.

Because Wu Yingqiu's daughter Wu Wan lost the battle in the harem and had been demoted from Concubine Kang to Concubine Zhuang.

Even this time, Zhu Feng stayed in Beiping for a whole year and didn't even want to summon her to serve.

Wu Yingqiu could not ignore this obvious neglect.

So, this time, he didn't come forward either.

He was waiting for the emperor to express his opinion to him.
