Jiao Ran looked at this niece who was already very beautiful but particularly delicate, she had always been at the mercy of her father, and had never been disobedient, thinking that she was about to be sent to a road of competition for favor with an uncertain future, she felt a little unbearable, so she persuaded: "Brother Lin, the child is older, she has her own preferences, she has not made any mistakes, and she is in her own house, so let her go." ”

"Brother-in-law, she is a girl, she is not as good as a few sons in your house, so she should naturally be young and chic. Her future will be her father, husband, and son, and the most she knows and does is in her own palace, and it is a mistake to run into the garden alone like today!" Although Lin Fengtai replied to Jiao Ran, the words were pressed on Lin Yuebai's heart, although she was kind, but after all, she was a woman under modern education in the twentieth century, and when she heard these remarks, she was disdainful and angry in her heart, and because of her identity as the eldest lady of the Lin family, she had to bow her head and return: "What my father taught me is that my daughter should go back to the courtyard now." ”

"Stop," Lin Fengtai said again: "Uncle is here, can't you see it?"

"Yes, Uncle New Year's Blessing. Lin Yuebai said hello softly, and made a homely salute.

Jiao Ran nodded and said softly: "Child, your body is not good, and you don't bring a cloak when you come out." It's cold outside, hurry back to the house to rest, be relaxed, and in two days, my uncle will let my three brothers come to visit you. ”

"Thank you...... Uncle. Lin Yuebai heard him say sincerely, and couldn't help but smile goodbye, but there were tears in his eyes, and he wanted to stop talking. She turned back in three steps, but never said anything more, and finally walked away alone and deserted.

"Brother-in-law, if I can have a daughter, I am really reluctant to be like you!" Jiao Ran twisted his brows and looked at Lin Fengtai again, still with that big face with a plain smile, he couldn't help but snort from his nose and left.

Zichen Palace.

Since coming down from the South City Gate in the Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Nan has never seen Yao Jin again, thinking that she had been rewarded by the emperor and taking an annual leave longer than others, but it has been several days since the beginning of the dynasty, and she is still not seen. No one in the entire Zichen Hall dared to ask on the surface, and they didn't dare to guess in private, after all, they were the people around the emperor, and everyone knew the truth that a companion is like a tiger. But Li Nan always felt a little strange, after all, the emperor did not ask the secretary to rearrange female officials for Zichen Palace, and the rules and furnishings set by Yao Jin, as well as the room where she lived, did not mean to be removed.

So where did this girl go? Even if His Majesty accepted her, this palace would belong to His Majesty, and there would be no need to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house, right?

The gossipy Li Nan would make up some pictures of Yao Jin getting along with the emperor from time to time, which could be regarded as self-entertainment. On this day, he got the emperor's will from the main hall and was about to go out on an errand, when he just stepped out of the gate of the Zichen Palace, a person suddenly popped up next to him, and Li Nan was so scared that he almost fell.

"Ouch, my heart!" Li Nan stroked his heart, and looked at Wei Yan next to him with an anxious and uneasy face: "Wei Guard, you are not a newcomer in this palace anymore, why can't you walk well, you want to scare people to death?"

"Father-in-law Nan forgive me, Wei Yan and Wei Yan are anxious," Wei Yan hurriedly bowed and asked, "I haven't seen Lady Yao for many days, and I haven't had a chance to talk to my father-in-law when I was on duty, does my father-in-law know where she went?"

Li Nan glanced at him and said kindly: "I know that you and Yao Jin have always been good, but she is now His Majesty's person, so don't ask." ”

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty's people?" Wei Yan was shocked when she heard this, and said in a panic: "Is it Your Majesty who accepted her to the harem......?"

Li Nan covered his mouth and giggled, "Saying that you are not a newcomer, why do you still say such stupid things, how many palace maids has our majesty accepted in the past, and which one has been canonized?"

Wei Yan's face slowly turned white, and then turned flushed, he collapsed on the edge of the palace wall as if he had been hit, and his mind was so chaotic that he couldn't speak.

"Guards?" Li Nan saw that he didn't look right, and wanted to ask a few more words, but he thought that he still had to pass on the decree, so he hurried away.

And Wei Yan looked at his back as he left in a hurry, thinking that there had been many times when Yao Jin's thin and tall little body had also hurried in and out of the door of Zichen Palace, at that time, he would smile every time she went out, and then he looked forward to it, watched, and when she came back, he would be relieved.

"But you'll never be in or out of here again...... The harem concubines can't enter the Zichen Palace without an edict, and you have become a harem concubine......" Wei Yan muttered to himself, but he didn't notice that Jin Liancheng was running towards him.

"What's the matter with you, go back quickly!" Jin Liancheng must have been in a hurry, panting as he said: "Today we are guarding the north gate of Zichen Palace, you run to the south gate, it will make me easy to find! Go back quickly, the people who will change shifts will come in a while." ”

"I'm here to ask about Yao Jin's news. ”

Jin Liancheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Wei Yan slowly and hesitantly, and repeated, "Ask Yao Jin's news?"

"Yes. Wei Yan took a deep breath, held back the discomfort in her heart, and said as calmly as possible: "I haven't seen her for many days, so I asked Nan's father-in-law today, and Nan's father-in-law said that she, she may have been accepted by His Majesty." ”

"It can't be. Jin Liancheng didn't think about it, and denied it.

Wei Yan looked at him in surprise and asked strangely, "How do you know it's impossible?"

"I ......" Jin Liancheng was a little speechless, he naturally knew that there was no love between men and women between Yao Jin and Shu Dingshan, even if Shu Dingshan, who became the emperor, was interested now, he knew too well what Yao Jin was like, and it was estimated that he would rather commit suicide than compromise. It's just that he can't explain these words to Wei Yan, although he vaguely knows that Wei Yan is interested in Yao Jin, but he can't help this infatuated young man.

"Are you talking, Jin Liancheng?" Wei Yan saw that he hesitated, and the little hope that had just ignited in his heart seemed to be extinguished again, and hurriedly asked: "You and Yao Jin have known each other before, but you have never mentioned how you met, and now that you say this, what is the reason for it?"

Jin Liancheng didn't want to lie to him, and he didn't want to answer his question, so he patted him on the shoulder seriously: "Good brother, I can't say." ”

After that, he ran towards the north gate, and dropped a sentence as he ran: "Don't worry, Yao Jin will not become a concubine, no matter whether it is Your Majesty or who, she will not!"

Wei Yan looked at him, then turned his head to look at the gate of Zichen Hall as calm as ever, and finally ran back with Jin Liancheng.

The two of them arrived at the north gate with their front and back feet, but the guards who changed shifts had not yet come, and they were relatively speechless for a while, but they saw Li Nan leading a few rough eunuchs carrying a large box through the north gate and heading towards the lotus pond.
