Zhu Chengxuan happily walked in, but immediately, as if he remembered something, he stopped and said, "These days, the queen mother doesn't let me go around, and I am only allowed to study in Chengqian Palace, but I haven't been able to come to visit you." You okay? ”

“……”

Nanyan didn't speak for a while.

She felt that when Zhu Chengxuan said these words, his eyes flickered, and his expression seemed very cautious.

Of course, she knew that this child had a gentle temperament, and because of his unequal relationship, Zhu Feng didn't like him very much, so he looked very cautious in front of his father.

But, at other times, he won't.

Nan Yan even remembered that when he saw him for the first time in Yanwang's Mansion, he still showed his own self-confidence in his words, especially when he helped himself expel the corpse qi in his body, he had a kind of calm confidence.

At that time, he was still so young, just a prince, and now he is so old, he completely looks like a young man, and he canonized the king of Wei.

It should be better than before.

However, at present, he is not as confident as before.

It's like-

Just like a small animal, after being frightened, or hurt, it has a little bit of a desire to get close to the surrounding environment and the people around it, but is afraid.

Seeing Nanyan looking at himself and not speaking, Zhu Chengxuan's expression gradually became embarrassed.

He bowed his head.

Nanyan frowned slightly.

Although she already hated Qin Ruolan to death, and even wished that she could tear off her bones, her feelings were a little complicated for Zhu Chengxuan, Qin Ruolan's son.

In the final analysis, she can anger Qin Ruolan, but there is no way to anger this child.

Especially seeing his cautious appearance.

Nanyan coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have grown a lot taller." ”

As soon as he heard her say this, a smile immediately appeared on Zhu Chengxuan's face, and he looked up at her: "Is the concubine okay?" I've always wanted to see you, but the Queen Mother won't let me. ”

Nanyan said: "This is the Cold Palace, and it is not the place where His Highness should come." ”

"Oh......"

"Why did Your Highness come here today?"

Zhu Chengxuan hurriedly said: "Oh, because I will leave for Jinling the day after tomorrow, I want to ask the queen mother, can I bring all the people around me, but when I go to Yonghe Palace, I find that she is not there." They said that my mother had come to visit the concubine Niangniang in the cold palace, so I also came with me, and I also wanted to stop by to see Niangniang. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Nanyan nodded and said, "It's just unfortunate that the queen mother just left." ”

"Oh......"

Zhu Chengxuan lowered his head again.

Although at this point, he should turn around and leave and go back to Yonghe Palace to find Xu Miaoyin, but looking at his hesitant appearance, it seems that he doesn't want to leave like this.

Nanyan looked at him for a while, and sighed in his heart: "Your Highness, come in and have a cup of tea." ”

Zhu Chengxuan immediately raised his head and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to disturb the concubine." ”

"Nope."

He followed Nanyan in, and when he saw the furnishings inside, his eyes widened in surprise, but he seemed to be relieved, and said, "Niangniang is doing well here, so I won't be worried." ”

Nanyan said: "It's all arranged by the queen's mother." ”

Zhu Chengxuan hurriedly nodded and said, "The queen mother is kind-hearted, and the people in the palace are very good. It's just—"

"Just what?"

"It's just that since you came back from Hecheng, maybe the queen mother is too busy, and I can't even see her."

“……”

Nanyan's breath sank for a moment.

Of course she knew, it wasn't because Xu Miaoyin was busy.

It's because of the things Qin Ruolan did in Hecheng that annoyed her, although Xu Miaoyin hasn't done it yet, she must have already had the heart to change people, otherwise, she wouldn't have immediately arranged for the selection of girls to enrich the harem in the next few months after she came back.

Although Zhu Chengxuan didn't know the reason for this, his mother's estrangement must have made him very sad.

That's why he looked like that just now.

Although he gritted his teeth in his heart and coldly cursed Qin Ruolan for "self-inflicted", but in the face of Zhu Chengxuan, there was no way to continue the gnashing of teeth, Nan Yan could only say: "You also know that your father and emperor have faced so many major events these days, and the harem is all supported by the queen's mother, and when she is busy, there is no way to do everything." ”

“……”

"As a son, you should be more considerate of her."

“……”

"Also, look for opportunities to get closer to her."

After all, he is a child brought to the eldest by hand, Xu Miaoyin can't have no feelings for him at all, otherwise, with the queen's means, and Zhu Feng didn't appreciate this son too much, I'm afraid that his King Wei won't be able to sit still.

Hearing her say this, Zhu Chengxuan smiled and immediately nodded, "I know." ”

Ran Xiaoyu, who came to deliver tea on the side, glanced at Nanyan.

At that glance, Nanyan understood that she was asking herself why she was still helping Qin Ruolan's son.

Nanyan thought in her heart that she wasn't helping him, but, probably because of what she had experienced since she was a child, seeing a child like Zhu Chengxuan who was not loved by her parents, her compassion arose, and she said these words to him unconsciously.

No matter how hateful Qin Ruolan is, the child is always innocent.

"Alas......"

"Huh?"

Hearing her sigh, Zhu Chengxuan raised his head and said, "Why is Niangniang sighing, is there any trouble?" ”

Nanyan hurriedly shook his head in disguise and said, "It's nothing, it's all trivial." ”

"What is it? Can I help? ”

"It's-"

Nanyan's words were originally perfunctory, but he didn't expect that this kid would ask herself so seriously, which made her a little speechless for a while.

But suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my head.

She said: "Your Highness, I remember the incident of Concubine Li before, Your Highness seems to have said that you know more about exotic spices, right?" ”

Zhu Chengxuan was stunned for a moment.

I don't know why Nanyan said this.

But he immediately said: "I don't know very much, it's just that I like to read medical books, so I know some medicinal fragrances, and later I dabbled in some medicinal materials from the Western Regions, so by the way, I learned about some spices over there." ”

“……”

"In addition, over the years, trade with the Western Regions has begun to resume, and the people have begun to have these spices, so I am more familiar with them."

"That's—"

Nanyan said cautiously: "If there is a sachet that has been kept for at least ten years, can His Highness still be able to distinguish the spices used in it?" ”

"More than ten years?"

Zhu Chengxuan was shocked: "What sachet has been put for so long?" ”

Nanyan glanced at Ran Xiaoyu.

Ran Xiaoyu immediately walked to the inner room, carefully took out a purse from the cabinet, and presented the sachet to them.

Zhu Chengxuan said: "This is-"
