Chapter 3 Return to Beijing
The Nanzhan Mission was destroyed, and Hu Zhixian knew that this official position would definitely not be kept. Fortunately, Princess Nanzhan is fine, otherwise the lives of this family may have to be taken in.
If Hu Zhixian knew that the princess in front of him was a fake, he didn't know how to feel.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, if you need anything, just say it, and the lower officials will definitely do it."
Hu Zhixian has almost never left the camp in the past few days, for fear that this princess will have something wrong, and he will come to Nie Yan's camp every day to greet him through the screen.
From the attitudes of these people in the past few days, Nie Yan could see that they were not suspicious of themselves.
"Hu Zhixian, I don't know when I can leave? We have lost so much time here that I don't know when my father's letter will be handed over to your new king. ”
Nie Yan spoke the official dialect of Chu State, Princess Nanzhan came to make peace, naturally she knew Chu Mandarin, and she spoke Nanzhan dialect to Su Qingyu before, naturally to make Su Qingyu think of her identity.
Hu Zhixian originally thought that the national letter of the lord of Nanzhan had been turned into ashes in Qingya Mountain along with the Nanzhan mission, so he didn't mention it, but he didn't expect that the national letter was actually on the princess.
"It's the lower official who is confused, the princess can hand over the letter of state to the lower official first, and the lower official will send someone to the capital quickly."
"In this way, there will be Laohuzhi County."
Nie Yan said that, and motioned to the maid who had been standing beside her to send the letter of state to Hu Zhixian.
Hu Zhixian received the credentials and set out to make arrangements.
In the tent, only Nie Yan and the two maids remained.
These two maids were temporarily found by Su Qingyu from Qingya County, and through the observation of the past few days, Nie Yan felt that the two of them were quite clever, so she thought about it.
"Su Yun, Wan Hui, are you willing to go to the palace with me?" If there is no one around you who can use it, I am afraid that if you can't wait for Nie Yan to overturn the case for her father, she will be calculated to death.
The harem is far more complicated than the backyard of ordinary people.
When the two suddenly heard Nie Yan's words, they were stunned for a moment, and soon they were overjoyed, and knelt down in unison and said, "The slave is willing, thank you princess." ”
Nie Yan smiled with satisfaction, she thought it would be good to be able to keep one. But think about it, Qingya County is a border pass, most of the people in Pingtou have a difficult livelihood, and there are all kinds of bandits, if you can have a good place, it is naturally a good thing to ask for.
"Okay, Su Yun, you go and invite General Su to come, and I will explain to him." Nie Yan commanded.
Su Yun should be, and bowed slightly to Nie Yan and went out to find Su Qingyu.
Nie Yan saw it in her eyes, Su Yun's saluting movements were quite skillful, and she thought that she was from some background, so why was she willing to follow her to the capital?
"Wan Hui, I see that Su Yun has learned this rule well."
Nie Yan took the teacup handed by Wan Hui and said casually.
When Wan Hui heard this, she said: "The princess doesn't know, Su Yun was originally a young lady from a big family, but she became a lowly family because she was in the middle of the road. ”
"I see." Nie Yan said thoughtfully.
If there is no Brother Song, is he the same as Su Yun, who can only serve others as a slave?
Su Yun quickly invited Su Qingyu over, and like Hu Zhixian, Su Qingyu stood outside the screen.
"I wonder why the princess called the last general?"
Su Qingyu asked.
Nie Yan said: "My attendants in Nanzhan are no longer there, and it is a long way to go to the capital, so I want to bring these two maids with me, I wonder if General Su can arrange it on his behalf?" ”
"Don't worry, princess, the last general will arrange everything by herself."
"Thank you, General." Nie Yan thanked.
Su Qingyu bowed slightly, thought about it and asked: "This time the princess was frightened, it was really a dereliction of duty, but I don't know, how did the princess escape from the Qingya Mountain?" ”
It turns out that there are still people who doubt themselves, this General Su is not good......
"At that time, I was held alone with my personal maid, and then someone brought us food, and I and the maid joined forces to knock us out, so we took this opportunity to run out, but I didn't expect that soon those bandits would catch up, and the maid went to lure them away alone in order to save me. And I stumbled down the mountain alone, but luckily I met you, the general. If it weren't for the general, Anya would probably be unpredictable ......"
Speaking of the back, Nie Yan's voice choked up, this statement had been prepared a long time ago.
When Su Qingyu heard this, although the doubts in his heart dissipated a little, there was no proof of death after all.
Nie Yan knew that these three words were not enough to win trust, so she continued: "Now that I think about it, it is really God's favor. On the way to escape, even the golden hairpin given to me by my father was lost, but fortunately, my father's letter is still there, otherwise, Anya would have failed her father's trust. ”
"National Letters?"
"Hmm. Before the general came, I had already handed it over to Hu Zhixian. But what's wrong? ”
Nie Yan asked.
Su Qingyu no longer doubted at this time that it was impossible for the national letter to be fake. It's just that I don't know why, after really determining the identity of Princess Nie Yan, Su Qingyu was a little lost.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Tomorrow will leave for Beijing, princess, please rest early. ”
After speaking, Su Qingyu retired.
Seeing that Su Qingyu was really gone, Nie Yan stretched out her clenched hands.
Fortunately, there is a national letter, otherwise Nie Yan really doesn't know how to dispel her suspicions.
The next day, Su Yun and Wan Hui packed up some early, and Nie Yan finally embarked on the road back to Beijing.
Inside the Chu Palace.
Empress Xu offered a cup of tea to Xiao Yu, the new emperor of Chu State, and asked, "Your Majesty, Princess Nanzhan is coming soon, I don't know what Your Majesty wants to be with her?" ”
Xiao Yu took the teacup, took a sip, and said casually: "According to the usual rules of harmony, give a concubine." ”
"But Your Majesty, Princess Nanzhan was frightened when she first came, do you want to appease her?" Empress Xu said.
When Xiao Yu heard this, he frowned, and felt that this was reasonable, so he said, "Then what position do you think should be given?" ”
Empress Xu said with a smile: "At present, only the imperial concubine, the concubine and the concubine are still empty in the palace. ”
"If the imperial concubine and the concubine don't think about it, they are the concubines." Xiao Yu said.
"Concubine Shu is indeed suitable, but what about Concubine Qi?" Empress Xu asked suddenly.
Concubine Qi, because she was pregnant, Xiao Yu had intended to grant her the position of concubine.
Xiao Yu then remembered, and after a little consideration, he said: "Wait for the time being, if she can give birth to a prince, the concubine also deserves it." ”
Empress Xu's eyes darkened, but she smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right, it is best to arrange it like this." ”
said that Concubine Qi was in the palace, but after hearing about it, Concubine Qi lost her temper.
Concubine Qi's personal palace maid said: "It's all that princess, if you don't come sooner or later, but at this time, you have robbed the master's position." ”
"Master, don't be angry, beware of the prince in your belly." The palace maid Zilan persuaded Concubine Qi.
After Concubine Qi dropped a bunch of vases, she also calmed down a little, touching her slightly bulging lower abdomen, and Concubine Qi felt a little more relieved.
It's just that he listened to Ruyu's words, and secretly hated Nie Yan.
Nie Yan naturally didn't know that before she arrived in the capital, someone had made an enemy for herself.
