Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 427
"Yeah, long time no see." Gu Yan took Nan Si's hand, "When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me? I miss you..."

Ye Junling looked at Gu Yan.

A woman with a beautiful face, as bright and flawless as the bright moon.

Lu Chong was also looking at Nan Si, and after a while, some impressions came to his mind: "Sister Liu?"

After all, I only met someone once, and it has been several years, so the memory is inevitably a little fuzzy.

Nan Si nodded.

"You...how did you come in?" Lu Chong asked subconsciously, and then he might realize that something was wrong, "I mean, why didn't you call someone so that we can go to meet him?"

Nan Si's tone was light: "I originally went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I heard from the Prime Minister's mansion that Sister Yan'er had left the cabinet, so I found this place temporarily... Please forgive me if I bother you."

It doesn't matter, Lu Chonglian said, his eyes fell on the face of Ye Jun's mausoleum: "This is..."

"His surname is Ye." Nan Si said lightly, "Just call him Mr. Ye."

This obviously means not wanting to expose his identity.

Lu Chong understood from the bottom of his heart, and nodded politely: "Young Master Ye."

"Brother Chong." Gu Yan smiled lightly, "Sister Liu and I haven't seen each other for a long time, we want to catch up on the old days, you take this Young Master Ye to the front hall to serve tea."

Lu Chong saw that she was happy because of Nan Si's arrival, it seemed that the gloom and unhappiness in these days were swept away, and her mood improved, but he forgot to delve into how Nan Si came in.

Nodding his head, he smiled and said, "Then I won't bother your daughter's family."

After finishing speaking, he reached out his hand to Ye Junling and signaled: "Master Ye, please serve tea in the hall in front of me."

Ye Junling glanced at Nan Si, and Nan Si nodded.

So the two men left quickly.

"Luanhuang." Gu Yan took Nan Si's hand and sat down at the stone table, holding the pot to pour tea for her, "When did you come back? Where have you been these days? I haven't heard from you for a long time... "

"Sister Yan'er." Nan Si interrupted her softly, her voice was rare softer, "You don't know my temperament? I am not used to the bustling imperial capital, so I like to run around, but this time I will stay for a while when I come back. Stay with my mother well."

"I really envy you that you can run all over the world, but the girls are grown up, it's time to settle down." Gu Yan sighed, looked up at the direction where Lu Chong and Ye Junling left, "The one just now is your sweetheart, right? ? The way he looks at you is so tender and tender, which is enviable."

Nan Si's expression was silent: "Sister Yan'er, how is life when you marry Lu Chong? How is he treating you well?"

When Gu Yan heard this, a little smile appeared on his face: "He is my chosen husband, so he is naturally good to me."

Nan Si was silent for a moment, thinking about what she had just heard, she didn't know whether she should ask or not.

"It's just that people in the world have different standards for 'good'." Gu Yan seemed to see the meaning of Nan Si's silence, and smiled lightly, "Not everyone can continue such goodness forever."

Nan Si said, "Do you regret it?"

Gu Yan shook her head: "I have no regrets, no one used a knife to force me to marry. Besides, Lu Chong has been very kind to me for more than a year, but..."

"Who is that weak cousin who can't take care of herself?" Nan Si asked the most crucial question.

Gu Yandan said: "It's the daughter of Mrs. Lu's younger brother. Her boudoir name is Bai Yiyi. Her mother died young, and her father married a second wife. Bai Yiyi's life is not bad, but her father was seriously ill a month ago. Many doctors were unable to treat her, and when she passed away, she was afraid that her daughter would be abused by her stepmother, so she entrusted her to the Lu family."

Nan Si frowned: "If you entrust it to the Lu family, you can also live here as a cousin, and you can talk about another marriage in the future. Why do you have to be a concubine to Lu Chong?"

"This cousin liked Lu Chong since she was a child." Gu Yan smiled lightly, "Lu Chong once said that he only regarded her as a younger sister and had no love for men and women. Bai Yiyi gave up on her for a while. But she didn't expect that this give up was really just for a while .”

It's only been more than a year, and they still have to get along under the same roof after going around.

"What's the attitude of the Lu family?"

"Bai Yiyi is my mother-in-law's niece." Gu Yan picked up the teacup and sipped absent-mindedly, "My younger brother left me alone at the end of my life, why should she not agree? Besides, my mother-in-law and the continuation wife of the Bai family have always been together. Discord, of course, I was also afraid that my niece would be abused by the stepmother, so I couldn't wait to bring Bai Yiyi into the mansion."

After a pause, "As for my regular wife, maybe I have nothing to worry about from the beginning to the end. Since ancient times, a man has three wives and four concubines. As a wife, he should be magnanimous. If he can't even accommodate a cousin, how can he show his knowledge and courtesy?" Good moral character? So Mrs. Lu thinks that all she needs to do is to let me know about taking a concubine for her son, and she will take care of it herself, and I don't need to come forward at all."

Nan Si said, "Is that why Lu Chong agreed?"

"Didn't you hear it just now?" Gu Yan smiled lightly, "He said that his cousin is weak and helpless, and has just lost her father, so she has no one to rely on. He asked me to be considerate of him. I don't understand, but it seems that I am narrow-minded."

Nan Si was silent for a moment: "Do you need my help?"

It's not difficult for an imperial decree to marry that weak cousin who can't take care of herself to others.

Gu Yan shook her head: "No, this is a matter between me and Lu Chong, I will handle it myself."

If even promises can be broken at any time, Gu Yan doesn't think that a single imperial decree can change anything.

Today there is a weak cousin who can't take care of herself, and tomorrow there may be a helpless cousin. There are many weak women in this world. Who knows what accident will happen tomorrow?
Gu Yan doesn't want to trouble her friends with these messy things, she would rather face them alone if she can face them alone.

"If you need my help, just ask." Nan Si said lightly, "There is no need to hide between us, and you don't need to be polite to me."

Gu Yan smiled: "I know. When I really need you, I will definitely not be polite to you."

Nan Si didn't speak, and quietly looked at the beautiful woman in front of her.

Before getting married three years ago, Gu Yan was a girl shining like a bright moon, exuding a bright aura like the rising sun from her whole body.

After marrying Lu Chong, the temperament in Gu Yan's eyebrows and eyes has become more peaceful. Maybe she has been married to the Lu family for more than a year, and her life is not as happy as she said.

Nan Si didn't say anything more.

Lu Chong wants to take concubines, which is a very normal thing in the eyes of all people who have nothing to do with them. Which man with a little bit of status doesn't have three wives and four concubines?

If there is a lot of noise, it will appear that Gu Yan is narrow-minded and can't tolerate others.

But who among the women in this world is sincerely willing to accept that her husband wants to take a concubine?
