That night, after Nie Yan had dinner, she saw Su Yun hesitate for a long time, and finally told Nie Yan truthfully: "Niangniang, the chief manager of Your Majesty's side, Gonggong Liu, has spread the word that Your Majesty has gone to Concubine Qi to rest, please Niangniang does not need to prepare to serve." ”

Nie Yan was stunned at first when she heard this, according to the regulations, Nie Yan, as a new concubine, was the first day to enter the palace, Xiao Yu should have recruited Nie Yan to sleep, but now she was robbed.

Xiao Yu didn't come, although it would make outsiders think that Concubine Shu was not favored, but it was a good thing for Nie Yan herself.

Nie Yan still didn't know anything about Xiao Yu's preferences, and went to bed in a hurry, if she left a bad impression, it would be worth the loss.

Don't rush anything.

Seeing that Su Yun was still upset about herself, Nie Yan chuckled and said, "It's okay, Concubine Qi is pregnant, and Your Majesty should accompany her more." ”

"But the mother ......"

Su Yun was about to speak, but was interrupted by Nie Yan: "How are you inquiring about what this palace has told you to inquire about?" ”

Su Yun then remembered that Nie Yan had explained her business at noon, and said: "Although Concubine Su did not give birth to an imperial heir, she had raised His Majesty for a period of time, so after the death of the first emperor, His Majesty specially allowed Concubine Su to still live in her own dormitory, and there was no need to move to the palace of the concubine." ”

The palace of the widowed concubine, which is the place where the first emperor died and the concubines who had no heirs were raised, although they were still in the palace, they were no different from the cold palace.

"Then where does Concubine Su live now, can you inquire clearly?" Nie Yan asked.

"In the Condensation Palace, not far from the Beichen Palace. The slave maid had already sent the jade pendant to Concubine Su according to Niangniang's instructions, but Concubine Su left the jade pendant and gave Niangniang a grass plant in return, but did not have a word to bring it to Niangniang. ”

Speaking of which, Su Yun was a little ashamed, she had done a mess in this matter, right?

Nie Yan frowned and pondered for a moment, Su Qingyu shouldn't do something that he wasn't sure about, since he mentioned Concubine Su and gave Jade Pendant and Nie Yan as tokens, then even if Concubine Su refused to help, she wouldn't be gone, right?

Thinking of this, Nie Yanfang asked, "Where is the grass now?" Take a look with Hongu. ”

Su Yun didn't dare to slack off, and soon brought the grass given by Concubine Su from outside the hall to Nie Yan to see.

Nie Yan took the grass plant, looked at it carefully for a long time, then smiled, and ordered: "Su Yun, you tell Wan Hui to turn off the lamp earlier, and you go to the Condensation Palace with the palace to meet Concubine Su." ”

"Meet Concubine Su? But Niangniang, Concubine Su was not invited, let's go so presumptuously, won't Concubine Su be blamed? ”

Su Yun asked puzzled.

Nie Yan put away the grass and said with a smile: "Who said that Concubine Su was not invited?" This grass plant is a testament to the invitation. ”

Su Yun still didn't understand, but Nie Yan didn't continue to explain to her, so Wan Hui turned off the lamp earlier, and everyone in Beichen Palace thought that Concubine Shu had rested, and they all speculated whether it was because Concubine Qi robbed His Majesty of His Majesty's luck tonight, and the new Concubine Shu Niangniang was sulking?

Concubine Zhao of the side hall of Beichen Palace couldn't stop laughing at Nie Yan and said: "I thought she could be so capable, but I didn't expect that even I was not as good as me, but His Majesty didn't transfer the favor that should have been given to me to others back then." ”

Concubine Zhao didn't know that at this time, Nie Yan, whom she was laughing at, was in the Condensation Palace, accompanying Concubine Su to just finish reciting a volume of the Diamond Sutra.

"I can't imagine that Princess Nanzhan can also understand the scriptures?"

Concubine Su put down the Buddhist beads in her hand and looked at Nie Yandao.

Nie Yan's heart jumped when she heard this, in order to please Concubine Su to accompany her to practice the scriptures, she forgot that Nanzhan believed in shamanism and did not prescribe Buddhism.

Thinking about it quickly, Nie Yan had no choice but to say: "Father and the king specially invited the upbringing grandmother of Chu to teach the concubine for a period of time because the concubine must be close to Chu, because the grandmother also has the habit of doing morning and evening classes, so she also learned some of it, as for the truth in this scripture, the concubine has not read it thoroughly." ”

Concubine Su glanced at Nie Yan, and she didn't know whether to believe it or not.

After a long time, Concubine Su said again: "It seems that the mourning family did not say that you were allowed to visit late at night. ”

"But it's true that the concubine asked the concubine to visit late at night." Nie Yan smiled as she took out the box containing the grass plant that Su Yun had brought back.

Concubine Su said: "It's just a grass plant, how can you prove it?" ”

"This is an epiphany rhizome, as we all know, a flash in the pan, a flower that blooms at night." Nie Yan said.

Concubine Su no longer denied it, and said, "Then do you know that the mourning family gave you another meaning of this epiphany?" ”

Nie Yan straightened her expression and said, "Naturally, I know that the concubine will help the concubine in front of Yu Pei, and there is only one thing." ”

"That's true. Now that you've guessed it, why don't you come back to the mourning family for help when you're in trouble? At this time, the mourning family doesn't think you have any trouble. ”

Concubine Su said.

"Concubines have felt since they were young that it is better to take precautions than to cover them with water."

When Concubine Su heard Nie Yan's words, the expression on her face finally changed slightly, and she said in a trance: "If I could have understood like you at the beginning, I wouldn't be here today." ”

"Well, you say, what do you want from the mourning family?"

Concubine Su was finally relieved.

Nie Yan replied: "The secrets of the palace that the concubine knows, as well as the background of each palace concubine. ”

Concubine Su's eyes flashed, and she said, "Knowing yourself and knowing your opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles." You are skilled in the art of war. ”

As soon as the words fell, Concubine Su took out a booklet from the Buddhist scripture shelf and handed it to Nie Yan, saying, "This roster is full of records of the existing concubines of the rank and above, and even the history of the servants. As for the secrets in the palace, I think you won't need them for the time being. If you need it, the mourning family will send someone to send it to you. ”

Nie Yan took the booklet and saluted to Concubine Su: "Thank you, Concubine Niang." ”

Concubine Su was not accepted by this courtesy, and said: "The mourning family is not helping you, the mourning family is helping Qingyu!" Do you know what the white jade pendant is? ”

"The concubine doesn't know." Nie Yan replied truthfully.

Seeing that Nie Yan's answer didn't seem to be fake, Concubine Su let out a long sigh and said, "That's it, you can step down." ”

Nie Yan didn't know what to do, but she didn't ask any further, and bowed to Concubine Su and left.

Concubine Su looked at Nie Yan's departing back, and said secretly: The mourning family has done everything they can, but they pity Yu'er, if this person is not Princess Nanzhan or Concubine Shu, he can also match Yu'er...... It's just the providence of God! Isn't that the same with that person at the beginning?

Concubine Su looked at the flickering candle flame in a daze, and scenes from the past reappeared in Concubine Su's mind......

After Nie Yan said goodbye to Concubine Su, she and Su Yun returned to Beichen Palace together, and were just about to freshen up and rest, but there was a noisy voice outside the hall: "Concubine Qi has a miscarriage!" ”
