A few days later, a new group of palace maids and eunuchs entered the palace.

Of course, Nanyan also knew that the palace maids and eunuchs were all selected every few years and released every few years, but there were no old people around her, so there was no rotation.

On the side of Chengqian Palace, two more palace maids and a eunuch were added.

Because Jian Ruocheng had been dismissed, Zhu Feng promoted an old Confucian scholar to the court as a scholar of Dongge University, this person's surname was Li Mingsu, although his fame was not as great as Jian Tongguang, but among southern scholars, he was also a well-known figure.

In fact, this is just a trivial matter of adding one person and subtracting one person.

But in the eyes of others, it is a big deal.

Because there is a fixed number of people serving around the prince, if you want to add or subtract, it is related to the rules.

And rules are often related to identity.

Now, the people around King Wei are already at the level of the crown prince.

So many people began to discuss, since the emperor's favorite concubine failed to give birth to a prince for the emperor, has the emperor decided to make King Wei the crown prince?

In this way, the front court and the harem began to blow a gust of wind again.

The center of this gust of wind is, of course, the Chengqian Palace.

Before, because he was not concerned by Zhu Feng, even if he was canonized as the king of Wei, the ministers in the court did not really value Zhu Chengxuan, but this time, the concubine failed to give birth to the prince, and everyone finally decided that the candidate for the crown prince was none other than the king of Wei.

Therefore, there are some people who began to run to Chengqian Palace more diligently.

Because Ran Xiaoyu had taught King Wei archery, she would go to Chengqian Palace every once in a while, but now, she didn't go either.

With Nanyan: "Those people only know how to catch up with the stove." ”

Nanyan smiled: "Most people in the world are like this. Whoever has ever seen charcoal in the snow, most of them are the icing on the cake. ”

Ran Xiaoyu said coldly: "The people I look down on the most are these people." ”

Nanyan smiled.

She casually asked, "Who else did you meet?" ”

After asking, I felt Ran Xiaoyu's brows twist.

Nanyan asked, "What?" ”

Ran Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "I met again, that King Ning." ”

"King Ning?"

Zhu Xuan?

He also went to Chengqian Palace?

Thinking of this, Nan Yan couldn't help but smile, although before, King Ning had been wandering outside the court and was a prince who looked very idle, but after all, the appointment of the crown prince was a big deal, and even he inevitably had to come over to catch the hot stove.

However, it is also human nature.

Nanyan asked, "Meet him, and then what?" ”

"I said some inexplicable things, one moment said that the weather was good, another time said that the little princess was cute, and another time said that he was not familiar with the road in the palace, let me take him for a walk."

Nanyan laughed.

She still remembered that when she first met Zhu Xuan in the palace, it seemed that he asked her how to go to the Imperial Garden.

This time, I came to ask Ran Xiaoyu again.

Is it really that you are not familiar with the palace?

Or, did you come here to talk?

Nan Yan said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Ning is also a personable person, I'm afraid that countless palace maids in the palace can't wait to have such an errand." ”

"They wish it was their business," Ran Xiaoyu said lightly, "I don't have that spare time." ”

"So, you ignored him?"

"Ignore him."

"You."

Nanyan smiled and shook his head.

Ran Xiaoyu's temper is really stinky and hard, and it is also a loss, Zhu Feng, as the emperor, can tolerate it - probably because he was born in the army, and he appreciates this kind of unyielding soul more than people who are slave and charming.

Even Zhu Xuan was very interested in her.

I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

Nanyan shook his head, turned around and went to the other side, just sat down, Ran Xiaoyu suddenly remembered something, came over and said, "By the way, Niangniang, I also saw someone." ”

"Is it in Chengqian Palace? Who? ”

"It's not in Chengqian Palace, but when I left Chengqian Palace, not far from the palace gate, I saw Concubine Ning."

"Concubine Ning?"

At the mention of Concubine Ning, Nan Yan's eyebrows frowned slightly.

Since the last time, Concubine Ning reminded her how to take care of the child, the relationship between the two seems to have broken the ice, or rather, eased a little.

Of course, it didn't get to the point where the relationship was good.

After returning to Jinling, everyone lives in their own place, unlike before in the Jinlou Villa, there is only such a big place, look up and don't look down, this time, you can't see if you can't think about it.

She never saw Concubine Ning.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Ning ran outside the Chengqian Palace.

Nanyan said, "What is she going to do?" ”

"It's not like you're going to do anything, it's like standing there, looking at Chengqian Palace from afar."

"Oh......"

"And, as soon as she saw me, she turned and left."

“……”

"She's a little weird."

It's a bit weird indeed.

However, Nanyan couldn't ask her why she did this, she only thought about it in her head for a while, and then she forgot about it.

Early the next morning, Nanyan asked Aunt Tongyun to take Xiao Anping to the nurse to drink milk, and he took Ran Xiaoyu and Nianqiu to the depths of the harem.

Before, the two of them didn't know where they were going.

But as they walked, they knew it when they watched the walls on both sides gradually become mottled and the surrounding scenery looked a little bleak.

Nanyan came to the cold palace again.

This time, she walked directly to Mama Su's residence with familiarity.

Halfway through, I heard a burst of singing from the house next to me.

Hearing the song made Nanyan tremble slightly.

Although she hadn't heard this voice for a long time, she still recognized it immediately, it was Xia Yunting's voice.

Her voice is still very melodious.

It's just that, after singing for a while, she suddenly burst out laughing again.

The laughter was particularly poignant, and even in broad daylight, it made people shudder.

Nanyan hurriedly walked to Mama Su's house.

Just now, I saw her coming out with a bucket of water, washing her small yard, as soon as she saw Nanyan coming over, she hesitated for a moment, and then came forward to salute: "Meet the concubine Niangniang." ”

"Mama."

"How did Niang Niang come to the cold palace?"

"I'm here to see Mama, by the way, I also have something I want to ask you."

Mama Su glanced at her.

Her gaze seemed a little complicated, but she immediately said, "Niangniang, please come in." ”

Nanyan instructed Ran Xiaoyu and Nianqiu to wait outside, and followed Mama Su into her room.

It hasn't been here for a while, and there are hardly any changes here.

Mama Su brought a cup of hot tea and put it in her hand, and then said: "The slave maid has long heard that the mother gave birth to a little princess, and the emperor is very favored. Here, congratulations to the mother. ”

Nanyan forced a smile.

These days, the wounds in her heart have been healed a lot, but when others mention it, she still can't help but think of her son who has not had time to see the light of day.

As soon as she saw Nanyan's reluctant smile, Mama Su seemed to immediately understand something.

She said, "I don't know, what does the mother have to ask the slave maid." ”
