Chapter 72: Feeling Tired of Being Near Home

"Miss Xia Si, may I ask if the housekeeper has arranged the wrong place? How can my girl live..." Qiaoyi stood behind Nalanyan with her luggage, and asked softly, frowning when she heard Xia Si's answer.Behind Nalan Yan's back, it is considered disrespectful for a guest to live in the main courtyard. This is the most taboo thing to do when visiting another man's mansion. The palace has profound connotations, how could it be possible to make such a simple mistake?Could it be that the Yuan Palace did this on purpose?In order to ruin the reputation of the fourth girl?But... that shouldn't be the case, Yuan Wang's family has a big business, so what's the matter with the fourth girl?
"This servant doesn't know either, but I'm sure that Miss Yan lives here. The housekeeper specially instructed this servant to have this key. The steward gave the key to this servant. This courtyard must be for Miss Yan to live in." Xia Xia Si looked at Qiaoyi with a smile on her face, her words and deeds were appropriate and gentle, and her voice was light and soft, which sounded very comfortable.

Xia Si took out a key from her sleeve, turned it lightly and then pushed open the door forcefully.

The yard behind the gate is very clean, the ground is covered with white snow, the rockery is scattered and orderly, the gazebo is located on one side, and the walls on both sides are covered with blood-colored plum blossoms in full swing, like a beautiful flame burning in the cold winter, showing endless vitality, standing at the gate Looking at it from the front, it gives people a feeling of tranquility and far-reaching.

"It's so beautiful..." Qiaoyi looked at the scenery in the garden and exclaimed. Nalan Mansion has all these things in front of me, but it doesn't have the shocking beauty in front of me. They are like two gems. Nalan Mansion is the most common cheap jade. The palace is the most precious Mo Fei, low-key but elegant, making it impossible to look away. "Miss, Yuan Wang's Mansion is really beautiful." No wonder it is said that Yuan Wang's Mansion is as exquisite as the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, such a detailed scenery is not something ordinary families can have.

"Miss Nalan, please." Xia Si was also shocked by the scenery in the garden for a moment, but soon regained her senses, and smiled and invited Nalanyan into Jun Ningxuan. "Because no one comes in and out of Jun Ningxuan on weekdays, there is no servant to serve, but the steward has already ordered someone to come to serve Miss Yan later, and arrange four maidservants and two guards for you. If you think it is not enough, the steward I will prepare some more to ensure your daily life."

"No need, it's enough." Nalan Yan felt a headache when she heard it, she was already bored with so many people around her, wouldn't it be troublesome if there were more? "Is your name Xia Si? Help me thank the butler for taking care of me. If you can, you don't need to send someone to serve me. I don't like too many people behind me."

"This...Miss Yan, servants cannot be masters. This is already the minimum equipment. Please forgive the slaves for talking too much. This courtyard is in the main courtyard. The minimum servant configuration is 12 maids, 8 guards, and 12 servants." Xia Xia Si looked at Nalan Yan and said hesitantly, the housekeeper had ordered that there must be no fewer maidservants serving Miss Yan, and that Miss Yan must be absolutely comfortable.

"Forget it, let's follow the butler's previous decision." Nalan Yan hurriedly stopped after hearing Xia Si's words. If she was released according to this trend, wouldn't her peace be completely disturbed? "Xia Si, let's go into the room and have a look."

Opening a door, it is a room full of elegant style, with sky blue bed curtains, light-colored towel cloth decoration, and teapots placed neatly on the pear wood table. "Excuse me, this room..." Nalan Yan looked around, and found that it was obviously a man's room. From the layout to every detail, it was biased toward grandeur. Why would the Yuan Palace let her live here?

Observing carefully, Nalan Yan found that the room in front of him was tidy.It was a room that no one had lived in for a long time. The room was clean and new, and the cold feeling could not be concealed. Nalan Yan noticed a desk in the corner of the room, and a scroll was laid out. I don’t know what kind of feeling drove her. Nalan Yan took a step forward. Walking forward, picked up the scroll, opened it, and a woman in a sapphire blue dress happened to be smiling.

Facing the eyes of the woman on the picture scroll, Nalan Yan could barely hold the picture scroll. The woman on this picture scroll is very young, her facial features are very soft, and the corners of her mouth are faintly dimpled and charming. , the owner of this house...

A vague idea flashed through Nalanyan's mind, and when she wanted to pay attention, the idea quietly left because someone suddenly interrupted Nalanyan's thoughts.

"Miss Nalan, the concubine is affectionate. Sister Xia Si, the empress told you to prepare the meal for later. I will take Miss Yan to see the empress." Just as Qiaoyi put the things away, a girl stood quietly in Nalan Beside Yan, he lowered his eyebrows and said softly.

Nalanyan looked at the girl and nodded lightly, as guests are welcome, since Princess Yuan invited her, she had to go, "Thank you for telling me, I don't know where my sisters are now, since I want to meet the princess, I want to If it is necessary to invite the sisters to go together, it can also be regarded as an unauthorized invitation to apologize to the princess."

"Miss Yan, you don't need to be too polite. Before the maidservant came, the concubine asked the servant to treat Miss Yan well and make Miss Yan feel at home. The concubine ordered you to go directly. The empress only wants to see you alone." The girl never said anything. She raised her head, her long hair covered most of her cheeks, but Nalan Yan could smell a faint scent of kale from her body.

Juegenzi is cold in nature and grows in the extreme north all the year round. It is an effective herb to cure heat and poison. This kind of herb is rare and rare. Not to mention that ordinary families can't afford it. Even the royal family and nobles may not be able to use it in this way, and it may even be contaminated with medicinal smell.

"Thank you for your kindness, Qiaoyi, you wait here, I will go to see the princess first." With a change of mind, Nalanyan turned to look at Qiaoyi.

"Fourth Miss, let the servants go with you." Qiaoyi was worried, this Yuan Palace looked weird, from the concubine to the housekeeper and maid, each one seemed to have some secrets, She really can't rest assured that the fourth girl will go alone.

"Qiaoyi, don't worry, this is Yuanwang Mansion, there will be no problem, don't worry, I'll be back soon." Nalanyan looked at Qiaoyi with a soothing smile, tiptoed and patted Qiaoyi Shoulder, "You are tired too, take a good rest."

"This...the four girls should be careful." Nalanyan said so, even if Qiaoyi was uneasy, she still had to rest assured that the palace is not something that a little maid like her can control. If she insisted on following her, she would anger the princess I'm afraid that the fourth girl will not be able to please her, so she should stay in peace and wait here.

Nalanyan followed the girl and walked towards the next door. The more she walked, the more Nalanyan felt that Yuanwang Mansion was unfathomable. There were obviously people in some places, but when he looked at it, there was nothing there. Illusion, Nalanyan has confidence in herself, she can't judge wrongly, thinking that Nalanyan suddenly felt puzzled by the bizarre massacre that year, so the Yuanwang Mansion, which was so dark and forbearing, disappeared so easily?What is hidden behind this?Did Yuan Wangfu deliberately take the opportunity to disappear before people's eyes, or was he really suppressed by a powerful enemy, and died with hatred.

"Miss Yan." The girl walked in front, paying attention to Nalan Yan's expression from time to time. Seeing her, she was sometimes shocked and sometimes thoughtful. She could not see the faint fear and calm atmosphere of a child suddenly seeing a stranger. ...It's very similar to the person who is the last person in the palace, but that person has long since died. If they get married, the child will not be so old. Maybe it is an illusion. The child in front of him is just an unrelated person similar to him.

"Huh?" Nalan Yan looked at the girl, her delicate voice combined with her mature demeanor made people laugh.

"The imperial concubine's courtyard has arrived." The girl turned sideways, pointed to the courtyard gate not far away and whispered. "Your Majesty ordered, Miss Ruoyan is here, please go in by yourself, your Majesty will be waiting for you in the courtyard, the servant girl's task is completed, I will take my leave first." After speaking, before Nalan Yan could react, the girl turned and left, and disappeared after a few hurried steps. , leaving Nalan Yan alone.

Nalan Yan stood there and frowned, what does the Yuan Palace want to do?First, she was asked to come to the source palace for no reason, and then she was invited to live in the room of a strange man with a mother's portrait...

Men's room!Wait, did the Yuan Palace know something?The previous doubts could not help but come to mind. The arrows of what happened in just one hour all pointed to the most unlikely possibility. Based on her understanding of the Yuan Palace, if she knew that Yuan Junyao still had heirs alive, the Yuan Palace would not be so peaceful. unless……

Her eyes changed a few times, Nalanyan looked at the courtyard gate in front of her with an unpredictable expression, she didn't know how she felt at this moment, but she knew that it was definitely not excitement, but a touch of uneasiness, she couldn't explain what the uneasiness was, it was just that kind of feeling. I can't suppress the anxiety, maybe the feeling of being close to the hometown mentioned in the book is this kind of feeling?
Nalan Yan looked at the yard in front of him, his arms were tense, and he couldn't walk in. Doubts sprung up in his mind, did Princess Yuan know about her when she was in Yunze Temple?That's why she came out at that time, and even let herself call her grandma, and use her identity to relieve her of the crisis, but if this was the case, in her eyes at that time, she didn't see the intimacy of grandparents and grandchildren at all, only a little appreciation and joy , it was for a stranger who had a crush on her, and she was sure she read it right.

So annoying!very messy!Nalanyan felt that she was wrapped up in problems, unable to struggle, and could only fall into the quagmire, becoming more and more unable to extricate herself.

Things have come to this point, it is a matter of time to meet each other, instead of guessing here, it is better to open the door first, she is here to be a guest, and Princess Yuan will not do anything to her. What she said was worthless, Nalanyan suddenly felt at ease. She could bear it in her previous life, but now that they are related by blood, she can endure it even more. For her goal, she can also walk over unswervingly and hold The hands of Yuan Wangfu propped up a stable sky for him who was still growing and had no power to protect himself.
