Just thinking about it, Delu hurried in from the outside: "Niangniang, Madam Li has come into the house to say goodbye to Niangniang."

"Mrs. Li?"

Nan Yan was probably anxious when she woke up early in the morning. At this time, her mind was not very clear. She frowned and said, "Which Mrs. Li?"

Delu couldn't help laughing, and said, "My lady said that, who else in our place has the surname Li?"

Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses.

"Look at how confused I am."

There is only one Master Li here, but it's not that Li is not hurt.

As usual, the imperial concubine followed the emperor on a tour to a place. In addition to the local officials who would accompany the emperor on the tour, there would also be officials' wives who were ordered to come to greet the imperial concubine and accompany the imperial concubine in her leisure time.

Among the officials here, Cui Yuanmei has the highest rank, but he still has no wife and no children, and the other officials are of insufficient rank, so their wives are naturally not qualified to accompany the imperial concubine. Only Li Bushang has both rank and qualifications. Enough, not to mention that there is another level of relationship between him and the imperial concubine, so it is reasonable to let his wife come to accompany the imperial concubine.

I just didn't expect that Xie Jiaojiao would come so early.

Nan Yan urged Ruo Shui to comb her hair quickly, and then said to De Lu, "Let her come in."

Delu immediately turned around and went out. After a while, he slowly walked in with a well-dressed lady. She walked in front of Nan Yan and bowed to Nan Yan, "The court lady pays respect to the concubine."

"..."

The room was so quiet that there was no sound at all.

Ruo Shui stood behind Nan Yan and thought that the old man would meet. No matter what, even if he didn't show too much kindness, Nan Yan would immediately let the lady Li from the ceremony and give her a seat immediately. However, the lady Li bowed down. On the ground, Nan Yan was silent for a while.

If she hadn't known her as a human being, Ruo Shui would have even thought that the imperial concubine was deliberately making things difficult for Mrs. Li.

Seeing that she remained motionless, Ruo Shui coughed lightly.

"Miss...?"

Hearing her voice, Nan Yan seemed to have suddenly woken up, and immediately said, "Oh, no, no ceremony. Bestow a seat."

Mrs. Li, who was kneeling on the ground, said, "Thank you, Concubine."

After speaking, she stood up slowly, and Delu, who was beside her, immediately moved a chair and put it behind her. After Mrs. Li pleaded guilty, she sat slantingly on the corner of the chair, raised her head again, and met Nan Yan frowned, with a solemn expression on his face.

Looking at the other party's face like a ghost, Xie Jiaojiao just smiled lightly and lowered his head.

At this moment, although he tried his best to control himself, Nan Yan still felt as if he had seen a ghost.

Xie Jiaojiao...?

The person in front of me is Xie Jiaojiao?

She really couldn't believe her eyes.

Although she hadn't seen this girl since Li Bushang got married, it's been a few years, but Xie Jiaojiao is really too special, she looks like a lady of the official family like those delicate flowers and nephrites in the capital. The difference, especially her ability to tame wild wolves, was like a match made in heaven with Li Bushang, so Nan Yan was still very impressed with her.

But she never imagined that Xie Jiaojiao would become like this after not seeing him for a few years.

Speaking of which, her appearance has not changed, and her clothes are more gorgeous than before, but Nan Yan clearly felt that something was missing on her body.

Seems to be her aura.

But, maybe there's more to it.

Not only did she lose the aura that she used to run rampantly and fear nothing, she even seemed to—

It seems that he is not even alive.

She sat there, like a dull body wrapped in gorgeous brocade, with a stereotyped smile on her face, but there was no smile in those eyes, and her whole body seemed to lose heat.

what happened?

I haven't seen her for a few years, why does she seem to be a completely different person?

Nan Yan looked at her deeply, for a while it seemed that she didn't know what to say, but it was impossible not to say anything, because Xie Jiaojiao couldn't talk nonsense before the imperial concubine spoke.

After struggling for a while, Nan Yan said with difficulty, "Mrs. Li... how are you all these years?"

Xie Jiaojiao looked up at her.

Then he smiled and said, "Okay."

After speaking, he seemed to feel that it was wrong for him to perfunctory the imperial concubine, so he said, "Very good."

"..."

Nan Yan's brows furrowed.

A girl, from her reckless disposition that even they dared to calculate, has now become like this, where she has to consider every word she says, yet she seems to be being manipulated to say it. Over the past few years, she has How can it be good?

Could it be that Li Bushang is not good for her?

She wanted to ask, but felt that she shouldn't ask.

Especially since the other party is Li Bushang's wife.

So, Nan Yan reluctantly smiled and nodded: "It's good, it's good."

After he finished speaking, he still looked at Xie Jiaojiao intently.

Xie Jiaojiao sat quietly for a while, and then said with a smile, "My aunt followed His Majesty the emperor to patrol Yongzhou this time. It was exhausting all the way, and it was very hard to come here. I wonder if you had a good rest last night?"

Nan Yan lighted: "Okay."

Xie Jiaojiao said, "Then, does Niangniang have any place you want to go today?"

Nan Yandao: "Huh?"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "The minister's wife heard that Niangniang used to travel to Yongzhou with His Majesty the Emperor in the past."

As she said that, the smile on her face deepened, and her eyes seemed like a pool of stagnant water finally had a little turbulence, and the whole person was a little bit alive, and said: "Don't hurt him, it seems that at that time, Follow His Majesty the Emperor and Empress."

Speaking of this matter, Nan Yan turned around.

He smiled and said, "He even told you about it."

"..."

"Yes, more than ten years have passed since then. At that time, he was still a black and thin child. Who would have thought that now he has become the commander of Jinyiwei. He brought you to Yongzhou to take office. It’s been almost two years, have you ever taken you to any old place to revisit?”

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said: "Yes, he has taken his courtiers to many places, and the scenery is good."

After speaking, Xie Jiaojiao looked up at Nanyan and said with a smile, "If Niangniang is interested, you might as well revisit the old place."

"This--"

Nan Yan hesitated.

After all, this is a border town. Although there has been no war between the Yan Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom in the past few years, after all, Chen Biri, the prime minister of the Yue Kingdom, was stabbed at the border last month, indicating that this place is not completely safe.

What's more, one's own identity should not go out and walk around.

Seeing her hesitating, Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "It's the minister's wife who is talking too much. Thinking about it, this place is both the old place and the things that happened. Empress should be somewhat taboo."

Nan Yan frowned upon hearing this.

"Avoid what?"
