Chapter 214: The Heart of the Ruler
"Niangniang, Xiangye asks to see you. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
Nan Qingxue was looking at a bunch of gifts thoughtfully in a daze, and someone from the palace outside the door came to report that Nan Aotian was waiting outside.
"Father, please come in. β
When Nan Qingxue heard this, she turned her head and ran towards the main hall with a solemn and hurried expression, leaving behind the gifts and a group of lively maids.
"Niangniang, Niangniang is slower, but what about those who are pregnant. β
Lu'er reminded behind her.
Nan Qingxue didn't hear it at all, and still strode towards the front hall.
"Father!"
"The old man came to visit the Queen Mother today, and by the way, he came to congratulate the Mother. β
Nan Aotian looked around and respectfully and calmly performed the courtesy of a courtier.
"I've done what you say. Nan Qingxue blurted out, looking uneasy.
Nan Aotian always kept his head down and maintained due etiquette.
There was silence in the hall for two seconds.
Nan Qingxue was infected by this quiet atmosphere, and suddenly looked around as if she realized something.
"Niangniang is pregnant, when she is comfortable and calm. Nan Aotian said in a deep voice.
"Yes, thank you dad for the reminder. Nan Qingxue's voice was obviously lowered a lot, and at the same time, she made a look, suggesting that the palace maids all retreated.
After all the people in the palace of the main hall were dispersed, Nan Qingxue looked around vigilantly, and said uneasily: "Father, I'm afraid that the fake pregnancy will be revealed sooner or later. Is it really good for us to deceive the emperor like this?"
Nan Aotian glanced at his daughter with a deep look, and said faintly: "Deception?!Don't forget your own identity." Do you think that the emperor really made you a concubine to keep the marriage contract that has long since passed in time? Or do you think that an emperor who can hide people's eyes and pretend to be crazy for more than ten years will act for the sake of his children's private feelings. β
"Dad, didn't you also say that the emperor is young and thin, and he is not afraid. Maybe he's really, just tired of that ugly girl. Nan Qingxue argued with little confidence.
"Hmph, I think you've been fooled by that kid. Nan Aotian turned his face to Nan Qingxue angrily, "Xue'er, if you are always so naΓ―ve, Dad will consider giving up your place to your sister to sit on." β
"Dad!" Nan Qingxue Yuan opened her eyes, "Do you think Nanyue will be so easy for you to use? She has never regarded herself as a member of our Nan family, nor has she ever regarded herself as her father's daughter." It's just a few days, and Dad trusts her so much. β
"Hmph, Yue'er, I'm afraid I don't have a choice. Her temperament is a little stubborn, and her father will slowly adjust it. It's you, who have a big responsibility but a weak will, I'm really afraid that everything that my father has worked hard to manage will be ruined in your hands. β
"I've got my own measure. Nan Qingxue lowered her head and said secretly: "I remember the oath I made in front of the major leaders. If the emperor loses me, I will let him repay the entire imperial city. But in order for me to sit firmly in the palace, I also ask my father not to target the emperor for the time being, and not to be impatient. β
"Cher. Children are crucial. No matter what method you use, you must convince the emperor and the queen mother that what you have in your stomach is the only root and seedling of the Wanyan family. In this way, we may end up outwitting rather than attacking. Dad doesn't care what the surname of this country is, he only cares about whose hands the jade seal of the country is really in his hands. When the time comes, you are not a princess, but also the queen mother, no matter what, you will enjoy endless wealth, and Dad hopes that you will be good for yourself. β
"Yes, don't bother Daddy. Daddy, it's better not to let the Queen Mother wait. Nan Qingxue said a little weakly, and only hoped that Nan Aotian could hurry up and go to Jin Andian to ask for peace.
"Well, the Queen Mother is looking for me this time, something big will happen, you are in the palace, you must be cautious. Nan Aotian carefully instructed again, looked around, and then exited the palace gate of Jiaofang Palace.
"Chennan Aotian, see the Queen Mother. β
Nan Aotian came out of the Jiaofang Hall and hurried all the way to the Jin An Palace. The fact that the Queen Mother wants to speak in person must not be a reassuring thing.
On the other road, Nan Yue was returning from the Tai Hospital, passing by the imperial dining room to prepare some meals and rush to Shengxuan Palace.
The door of the main hall was open, and I thought that Wan Yan Min took care of it all night in the Jiaofang Hall and came back in the morning.
Nanyue hesitated for a long time, but still lifted her steps and stepped on the steps in front of the main hall.
Wan Yan Min was sitting in front of the imperial case, holding a book in his hand.
Nanyue thought he was reading some kind of statecraft, and it wasn't until she caught a glimpse of the cover that she realized it was just an idle book.
Nanyue slammed the food box on the table and snatched his book.
She had just wanted him to eat, and she didn't want to invite him respectfully like a real servant. Unexpectedly, a small portrait suddenly fell from the page, lifelike, and a delicate girl seemed to be on paper. On the left, there is a very realistic and cute scar.
"Give me back. Wan Yanmin's face was calm, but he still couldn't hide a little embarrassment. Just calmly reached out for the book.
Nanyue stared at the small statue in surprise, and never came to her senses. She handed him the book with an unnatural look: "It's time to eat, who rarely reads your broken books." β
"I just thought that you were just as bad as your father, so I drew a wanted notice in advance. Wan Yanmin was even more unnatural, and snatched back the small statue from Nanyue's hand.
The meal was not very extravagant, not the layout of a grand banquet, but the dishes were full of sumptuousness, just the size of two people. Nanyue didn't make it difficult to make a bunch of bitter melons to prevaricate Yan Min's stomach, and Wan Yan Min even felt suspicious of her wind and sunshine.
"You are doing your duty today. Wan Yanmin sandwiched a piece of sugar lotus root and said casually.
"What. Nanyue didn't know what he was talking about for a while.
"I didn't make pig food to perfunctory. β
"Hmm. She thought of a lot of words to answer the question, and all she could say was a hmm.
Wan Yan Min coughed dryly. I was not satisfied with her short answer.
"Congratulations. She said lightly.
"What. β
"Congratulations on having a son. β
Wan Yanmin's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and suddenly understood what she was talking about.
"How do you know it must be a son. β
"You've always worked so hard, so God will probably give you a son who will inherit your father's business when you need it most. β
Wan Yanmin pondered the meaning of her words for a long time, put down her chopsticks and said, "Do you want to die?" β
"I didn't," Nanyue sandwiched a piece of pear blossom cake for him, "I really want you to live, live for 10,000 years." β
"Then I can hate you without any scruples. She said. Then bow your head and eat your own food.
"You can do it now, I demoted you from a queen to a maid, and I may punish you in the future. Wan Yanmin's mind was running, he straightened out his chopsticks, and slowly picked up the pear blossom cake.
"I hate that a dying person is too unstructured. Even if this person has a very bad heart, he always wants to hurt others. She said.
"You know something. Wan Yanmin's chopsticks stopped, his tone was slightly heavy, and his eyebrows were murderous.
