After the divorce, King Zhan cried and begged me to remarry

Chapter 396
Chu Nanli was surprised to find that Lin Fuying was already quite haggard after not seeing her for half a month.

Her face was pale, as if she was about to be blown away by the wind at any moment.

Despite this, Lin Fuying still held on and refused to show her timidity in front of Chu Nanli.

She forced out a decent smile, "I didn't expect that my sister would get the chance to enter the palace after she had reconciled with the prince."

"If I had known that my sister would come, I would have told the prince not to rush into the palace to pay his respects to my mother and concubine."

She approached Chu Nanli and said in a slightly mocking tone: "Sister, I haven't seen the prince for so long. She must also miss the prince very much, right?"

Chu Nanli was too lazy to respond to her words.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin Fuying's condition at this time is quite bad.

She felt that she could still show off in front of Chu Nanli now.

"Ye Yunting's illness shouldn't be cured by today, right?"

Chu Nanli originally didn't want to talk to her, but Lin Fuying didn't know what to do and decided to block her way.

She looked at Lin Fuying calmly, "Don't you know that he was waiting outside my door for several hours that day?"

Of course Lin Fuying knew about this.

She had already tried hard to convince herself that it would not matter if Ye Yunting went to find Chu Nanli.

Haven't you seen her yet?
But now that she heard the person involved mention it, it made her even more jealous.

Chu Nanli didn't intend to let her go easily.

"I told you a long time ago, stolen things won't last long."

If Lin Fuying hadn't used the incident at Xingshan Temple to deceive her at that time, her life wouldn't be so miserable now.

"Chu Nanli!"

Lin Fuying really didn't expect that Chu Nanli would become even more sharp-tongued after not seeing her for such a short time.

She didn't even know how to refute.

Chu Nanli glanced at her lightly, not too proud.

But it was this calm indifference that drove Lin Fuying even more crazy.

But considering that this was at the gate of the palace, Lin Fuying did not dare to do anything to Chu Nanli.

She was afraid that if these things spread to Ye Yunting's ears, Ye Yunting would become even more disgusted with her.

Chu Nanli was too lazy to continue talking to her, so he bypassed her and walked directly through the palace gate.

Soon, she was led by the little palace maid to the palace where the banquet was held.

Naturally, Yan'er could not enter the palace with her today, but in order to ensure that she would not be left unattended in the palace, Ye Jiuxiao arranged for her to be served by a maid in advance.

The palace maid led her to her seat and spoke in a low voice: "If anything happens to you, just ask your slave. The prince has already given instructions to your slave, and I will take good care of you."

Chu Nanli nodded slightly. Since there were people sitting on both sides, she couldn't say much to the palace maid.

Not long after she sat down, the palace banquet had already begun.

Accompanied by the emperor and empress, the queen mother soon appeared in front of everyone.

The clothes Chu Nanli wore today did not show off her belly very much.

Even so, she still had to be supported by the palace maid before she could stand up and salute.

After everyone had bowed, the Queen Mother spoke.

"Okay, everyone, get up. The Ai family is happy today, so you don't need to be restrained."

Although the Queen Mother said this, everyone present dared to take the Queen Mother's words seriously.

If you lose your etiquette in front of the Queen Mother, there will be no future for you from now on.

After everyone was seated, people from the palace soon presented birthday gifts one after another.

The first ones presented were naturally some unsurprising gifts.

The Queen Mother looked at it and just nodded, and then asked the palace people to put it away lightly.Soon, it was Chu Nanli's turn.

The gift she prepared for the Queen Mother was not something expensive.

It's just an embroidered picture of a hundred years of longevity.

As soon as this thing was presented, Chu Nanli clearly heard a lot of discussion.

"How could the Queen Mother like such a shabby thing?"

"Look at this material, I'm afraid it wasn't found randomly, right?"

"Today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Does this person want to offend the Queen Mother by giving such a thing?"

Perhaps it was because the Queen Mother and the Emperor were sitting on a high platform and could not hear the whispers of the people below.

Therefore, the voices of these discussions are particularly unbridled.

Especially after learning that the person who gave the gift was Empress Chu Nanli.

Many inquiring eyes were vaguely cast on her.

Some time ago, Chu Nanli made a fuss about wanting to fight Wang Heli, but many people heard about it.

After knowing that the emperor really agreed to divorce, many people laughed at Chu Nanli's stupidity behind his back.

Chu Nanli appeared in the palace today and gave such a birthday gift, which made people even more amused.

After the Queen Mother heard that this birthday gift was from Chu Nanli, she became interested.

She looked at Chu Nanli and said in a relaxed tone: "Why would Nanli girl choose such a birthday gift to give to the Ai family? Is she trying to deceive the Ai family?"

If anyone else had heard the Queen Mother asking such questions, they would have started to break into a cold sweat.

But Chu Nanli didn't panic at all.

She stood up and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "The common girl gave this gift to the Queen Mother. First, she wanted to use the meaning of this hundred-year-old picture to wish the Queen Mother a long life and good health."

"Moreover, this picture of a hundred years of longevity has other meanings."

Naturally, what Chu Nanli prepared was not meaningless at all.

The characters "longevity" on this hundred-year-old picture were all written by the children who were just learning to write in Jiats Courtyard. After they wrote them out one by one, she asked the embroiderer to embroider them on them.

During the embroidery process, she made the embroiderer beautify it a lot, but you can still see the childishness of these handwritings.

"Every word represents the thoughts of a child. The women of the country are teaching those children every day. Only with His Majesty and the Queen Mother, they can live a life without worries about food and clothing. Naturally, they are willing to live for the Queen Mother. The sun prays to God."

Chu Nanli's words spoke exactly to the Queen Mother's heart.

At her current age, she has seen so many rare things that she has become accustomed to them.

And such sincerity is the most valuable thing in the deep palace.

Of course, even though Chu Nanli's words were almost perfect, some people still showed dissatisfaction.

Concubine Yang Shu on the side almost had disdain on her face.

In her opinion, this kind of thing, even if it is said to be lavish, is not worth much money.

What else is precious?

But then she thought about it, Chu Nanli could only afford such shabby things now.

Doesn't this just prove that after leaving her Ting'er, Chu Nanli's life has become worse and worse?

She was still sane and did not choose to taunt him at this time.

There are actually not a few people present who have the same idea as Yang Shufei.

But Chu Nanli didn't care about this.

She only saw that after she explained the meaning of this birthday gift, the Queen Mother showed a sincere smile.

Only by making the Queen Mother happy can she make other requests.
