Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 602: Twenty years have passed, I don’t care how many more days it takes

Stopping and stopping along the way, it took more than a month to get from Baixiong Pass to the capital.

By the time many matters were clarified, it was almost summer.

The sun is getting longer, the grass and trees are green, and there is a bit of dryness in the air.

The boundary of Leng Palace has been newly renovated, and many shade trees have been added to isolate the sweltering heat above the head.

Nan Zhen moved a recliner and lay on it with her eyes closed to relax.

King Chen has been buried lavishly and entered the imperial mausoleum, and the court has been purged from top to bottom. No matter what these people think, at least there will be no more trouble for a long time.

Xiao Rongxi had many things to deal with, but she was already free.

There was a slight chirping of cicadas in her ears, and Nan Zhen felt a little annoyed. She grabbed the grapes from the fruit bowl and threw them between the branches, and the chirping suddenly stopped.

A few days before the winter month, I got a new piece of cloth and made new clothes. I am very happy now, and I don't mind the sun in the courtyard, so I am walking around in my new clothes.

Seeing Nan Zhen enjoying the coolness, she came over and said, "Mother, do you still feel hot? Can I get you some more ice cubes?"

"No need," Nan Zhen shook her head and smiled when she saw that her head was covered in sweat, "You don't mind the heat."

Dongyue smiled and said, "My slave is wearing new clothes. I feel so comfortable all over. I am very energetic in everything I do."

"It seems that I have learned a lot of words recently, and I can speak in a certain way."

Dongyue was a little embarrassed, "If I say something wrong, please don't laugh at me."

She peeled a few grapes for Nan Zhen and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Madam, the gifts you asked me to prepare are all ready. When should we give them to them and to whom?"

Logically speaking, the empress didn't have anyone to give gifts to, just calligraphy, paintings and chessboards, but she also bought wine.

"To..." Nan Zhen paused, "elder."

After returning to Beijing, she hasn't taken time to visit the Wei family yet. Now that the dust has settled and everything has settled, it's time to go and visit.

"Dongyue, don't peel it off, go wash your hands, we're leaving now."

"Ah?" Dongyue was startled, and the grape juice flowed down her fingers, almost dripping onto her sleeves, "Madam, it's time for lunch in more than an hour. Isn't it inappropriate for us to go out now?"

Nan Zhen had already stood up and straightened her skirt, "It's suitable. We can go have lunch."

The carriage passed through the streets and alleys, heading north, and finally stopped steadily in front of a low-key mansion.

Dongyue opened the curtain and looked outside, "It turns out that the empress came to the Wei family."

"Get out of the car."

Nan Zhen took the two jars of wine, followed by Dongyue with large and small bags. It didn't look like a nobleman in the palace giving gifts, but rather like she came to join relatives.

The two of them stepped up the steps one after another. Nan Zhen pulled the knocker and knocked on the door. While waiting for the door to open, Dongyue asked, "If your Majesty wants to give a gift to General Wei or Miss Wei, just ask the palace people to get it." Just come here, why do you need to go to such trouble?"

Not only do you choose the type of gift yourself, but you also need to bring it yourself, not by others.

"If you leave the palace, it will be the queen of the harem visiting the courtiers, not the juniors visiting the elders."

Nan Zhen continued, "General Wei has such a good relationship with the Nan family. It would be disrespectful for me to do this."

"But we didn't inform you in advance, does it count as an intrusion?" Dongyue hesitated, "What if there is not enough food?"

Nan Zhen smiled, "They know I will definitely come, they just aren't sure when. Besides, can such a big mansion make you hungry?"

"Your Majesty is right."

While he was talking, footsteps came from the door, and then the boy opened the door and poked his head out, "Who are you looking for...Empress Libi?!" He was shocked, blinked, and looked at Dongyue who was laughing in front of him. , thinking that he had admitted his mistake.

Fortunately, Nan Zhen had been to Wei's house a few times, so he had some impressions. Otherwise, he would have been a master and a servant, and he wouldn't have been able to recognize them.

It is said that when the empress in the palace travels, it is very grand. Why doesn't Empress Li concubine even have an accompanying eunuch?
"Excuse me, please tell me that Nan Zhen wants to see General Wei."

"Please come in quickly."

The boy didn't hear what she said, and he didn't dare to let people wait at the door. He quickly opened the door and went to inform someone.

Nan Zhen followed him inside, admiring the decoration of the mansion and asked, "Is Old General Wei having lunch?"

"Go back to your Majesty, it's not yet," the servant explained. "The meal in the house is later than normal. Your Majesty, you are here just in time."

"Is Wei Yan here?"

Waiter: "Miss, I just came back not long ago. It's just that the master has something to do and is not in the house."

Nan Zhen nodded and said no more.

Not long after, the housekeeper came over, followed by Wei Yan, who had just returned home and sat down, and only had time to take a sip of tea.

"Why are you here at this time? You didn't say anything to me!" Wei Yan took the gift from Dongyue's hand familiarly and weighed it, "It's so heavy."

Nan Zhen chuckled, and followed her steps into another courtyard, and the scenery immediately changed.

"It has been prepared for a long time. Today is just the right time."

Wei Yan raised her lips and didn't ask any more questions, "I have already asked the kitchen to prepare more food. Grandpa said, let's chat while we eat."

While they were talking, the two of them arrived at the living room.

Wei Jianen was sitting on a chair. When he heard the sound, he looked up and saw the person walking towards him. His expression became calmer and there were shallow ripples in his eyes.

Lou Shen stood beside him, looking much more excited than him.

Nan Zhen stepped into the threshold, nodded slightly with him, and then respectfully saluted Wei Jianen, "Old General Wei."

After not seeing each other for several months, he seemed much older, with wrinkles on his face. He seemed to be in good spirits, but he always felt a little forced.

"Just come back," Wei Jianen stood up and patted her shoulder, "You have worked hard on this trip. I thought you would rest for a while before coming."

Nan Zhen: "General Wei, are you impatient?"

"Twenty years have passed, I don't care about a few more days."

Wei Jianen motioned for her to sit down, and Wei Yan drove away the maids and servants and poured the tea herself.

"Actually, General Wei has already guessed my identity," Nan Zhen said proactively, "Whether I say it or not, it doesn't matter much."

Wei Jianen laughed twice, his voice trembling, "It's still different. I feel relieved when I hear you admit it in person. Did you not say it before because he asked you to keep it a secret?"

Everyone here knows who he is.

Nan Zhen shook her head, "To be honest, I didn't know that Master was Miss Nan until I entered the palace. I guessed that the old man I met when I was a child was General Nan."

Wei Jianen was silent for a while, then asked a question he seemed to already know the answer to, "Is he still there?"

Nan Zhen said nothing.

"Hey, if he was still here, how could the Mingyue Order show up?" Wei Jianen sighed, "Even if I guessed your identity, I would never have thought that one day I would see the Nan family army again."
