Chapter 281
"Princess, I have a letter from home here. Could you please help me pass it on to my third brother?" Chen Jingshu took out a thick letter from under the pillow.
Jiang Nan hesitated for a moment. Chen Jingshu was in Changle Palace. Although he was under strict guard, he was not under house arrest. Family letters could be delivered through the eunuchs in the palace.
Why specifically ask her to pass it on?
Seemingly seeing through Jiang Nan's doubts, Chen Jingshu explained: "Letters sent out from the palace will be read by the eunuchs and guards. I am currently confinement in Changle Palace, and my mother cannot come in, so I drew a few portraits of the children and handed them to her. Get out. You are also a mother. It is our custom in Nanliang that children under full term cannot be seen by outsiders. "
To put it bluntly, I just don’t trust the people in Changle Palace.
Jiang Nan still knew this custom, and stared at the letter with lowered eyes. Chen Yanli had helped her so much, but it was just a letter from home.
"Okay!" She accepted the letter without rejecting it.
The sky was getting dark, and the palace banquet on New Year's Eve was held in Hanyuan Hall. Music and dancing were played, and the emperor and his ministers enjoyed themselves together.
Entering Hanyuan Hall, Xie Yun was already sitting at the banquet. When he saw the queen walking in with Jiang Nan, he stood up and saluted the queen. The couple did not even make eye contact. They were indifferent and indifferent, and they didn't even bother to show off.
The queen was heartbroken when she saw this traitor!
When she didn't like Jiang Nan, he insisted on marrying her and marrying her back. Finally, he liked her. Good guy, he fell in love with her and kept flirting with Leping all day long.
Leping is not as good as Jiang Nan!
Jiang Nan seemed to be more distressed than desperate. She had a completely laissez-faire attitude and was careless enough to feed Xie Shu.
The queen glared at Jiang Nan and scolded: "When will you change your stubborn temper? We don't need you here. You don't have to guard me. You go to the prince."
Jiang Nan did not respond and lowered his head to drink. However, the emperor not far away frowned displeased after hearing this: "On New Year's Eve, it is bad luck to say that you will not die!"
Seeing this, Concubine Duan climbed up the pole, and gave Qing Li a look at Qing Li who had just returned.
After staying in the temple for a while, Qing Li became much more simple, her temper calmed down, and there was less pride in her brows and eyes.
Under Duanbi's gesture, Qingli picked up the wine glass.
"Your Majesty, I, my concubine, and Qing Li would like to propose a toast to you. May the weather be smooth in the coming year, and the country and the people be safe." Duan Concubine stood up and faced the emperor with a bright smile.
The emperor's expression was serious, but he did not show any shame on the spot. He gave a faint hum, drank a glass of wine, and then did not respond.
Duan Concubine was disappointed in her heart. There was no shortage of young and beautiful women in the harem. Ever since the confrontation in the Taiji Palace, the emperor had to take a detour even when meeting, not to mention staying in Cuiwei Palace. She had lost the emperor's heart. Her situation is no different than being relegated to the cold palace.
The emperor is so cruel. The friendship of more than 20 years was broken up at the last word.
After sitting down, Duan Concubine kept winking at Qing Li: "If you don't please your father, you will have to go back to the temple after the New Year!"
Qing Li shook her head and said calmly: "How can I please my father if I want to? Just come back! It's not impossible."
Duanbi was stunned: "You have gone to the temple to worship Buddha for a few days. Do you really think you are transcending the mortal world?"
"What about the mother and concubine? What do you ask for after worshiping the Buddha for so many years?" Qingli retorted heartbrokenly, "We have fallen into such a situation, what kind of trouble do we want to make? Why don't the mother and concubine keep to themselves? Maybe we can still There can be a good result."
"Are you still my daughter? Were you kidnapped? Or were you bullied?"
"It's nothing, concubine, I just don't want to fight anymore."
"No fight? Do you really want to twist your hair and become a nun all your life? How did I give birth to such a good-for-nothing like you?"
The queen's attention was completely absorbed by Duan Bin and her daughter. She listened carefully to the conversation between Duan Bin and Qing Li, and was not interested in caring about Jiang Nan for the time being.
Jiang Nan saw Chen Yanli standing up and leaving from the seat below, and whispered to Xie Shu: "Shu'er, eat well and don't run around. I'll go out for a while." "Okay! Mom, please come back soon!" Xie Shu behaved obediently. laugh.
Jiang Nan guessed that Chen Yanli probably left the banquet and went to the latrine. Just now he saw that he had been drinking with his head down and never stopped.
The latrines were divided into men and women, but they were not in the same place. They chased him all the way, and the more they chased, the more awkward they became. The people walking on this road were all men who had gone to the latrines or were about to go to the latrines. They all stared at Jiang Nan with strange eyes.
She covered her face and walked like flying.
"Master Chen." Jiang Nan shouted softly when he was about to catch up.
Chen Yanli paused, turned around and looked back. His eyes were drunk, his cheeks were slightly red and he said with a smile: "Princess, are you here to use the toilet too? Are we so destined? We can meet each other when we use the toilet?"
Because of his drunkenness, he spoke out of shape, and his voice was slightly louder, which attracted a lot of attention.
Chen Yanli realized later and said, "That's not right. The women's huts are not here. This is for men only! Are you here specifically to find me?"
Jiang Nan's face darkened: "Come here with me!"
Now I realize how embarrassing it is to agree to Chen Jingshu's letter from home. What's the difference between delivering a letter to a man in public and giving it in private?
"You have something to tell me?! You really know how to choose the right time! Just wait a moment. I have three urgent needs and I can't hold it in any longer!" Chen Yanli waved his hand and turned around to walk towards the latrine.
Jiang Nan: "..."
Chen Yanli left, but her gaze on Jiang Nan remained undiminished. She could not stand in front of the men's hut and wait, so she looked around.
The hut was built next to the Taiye Pond. There was a path in the grass, blocked by a few big trees, making it quite hidden. She walked in.
By the Taiye Pool, the night breeze ruffled the water in the pool, and Jiang Nan shivered from the cold.
"Jiang Nan?"
Chen Yanli's gentle call slowly came from behind him.
"I'm here!" Jiang Nan responded softly. When Chen Yanli walked up to him, she patted the letter in her hand on his chest. Under his doubtful eyes, she explained, "The letter from home that Princess Qin asked me to deliver to you." .”
Chen Yanli was stunned for a moment, and there was a flicker of emotion in his pupils, which quickly disappeared and he responded lightly: "Oh."
Jiang Nan couldn't stand the cold anymore. She turned on her toes and was about to go back to Hanyuan Hall, when Chen Yanli suddenly spoke.
"You were kidnapped for the past two days. Did you suffer any injuries? Next time you go out, take more people with you."
Hearing this, Jiang Nan looked at Chen Yanli in surprise: "How do you know?"
"The Hundred Ghost Camp is full of ghosts, and the prince wants to suppress the news that you were kidnapped again, and secretly investigate, how could he find you so quickly!" Chen Yanli's eyes were melancholy, his shoulders and back were slightly bent, the smell of alcohol was scattered around, and there was something like this in his eyes. There are countless emotions that cannot be hidden and want to crawl out.
"But he found it."
"Do you know how he found it?" Chen Yanli shook his shoulders and laughed until there were tears in his eyes. "It's so ridiculous. It's really so ridiculous. God has no eyes and you can't help it!"
"You're drunk." Jiang Nan's eyes were silent as he looked at Chen Yanli's lost smile.
