Then he asked in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "Where is your empress from?"
"I am from Nanqiao County, and my father has just been promoted to the post of Nanqiao County Sheriff."
The noble lady had no airs at all, and her tone was just like a conversation between old friends.
"Where is your father-in-law? Where are your ancestors from?"
Nan Yanxi smiled: "My ancestors are from Qingzhou, Daxia, and they came to Kyoto in the South China Sea to settle down from my grandfather's place."
"I wonder...what is your niece's name?"
As soon as these words came out, Shugui couldn't help being a little surprised and smiled: "Huh? My father-in-law is a little different from other internal officials..."
"Oh? What's the difference?" Nan Yanxi asked knowingly.
"Well... all other officials, whether they are internal officials or maids, are cautious in their words and deeds."
The noble lady said softly: "Especially for people like me, you can either ignore them or avoid them like a ghost."
"You are the only one who is willing to get close to me, father-in-law. You can't help but take the initiative to cover the emperor, and you have the courage to ask me my name."
"Ah haha..." Nan Yanxi scratched her head: "Maybe it's because I'm braver, haha..."
Hearing this, Shugui smiled and nodded: "Maybe..."
"My name is Li Shuwan. If father-in-law doesn't mind, you can call me Wan'er."
"Oh no, no, no, no, no, how dare I call you by my first name?"
Nan Yanxi was polite in a low voice, but she was a little surprised in her heart. This girl's name was very similar to her mother's.
Love the house and the bird, and feel more fondness for this kind little girl in my heart.
Seeing what he said, Li Shuwan whispered: "Father-in-law, please don't be polite."
"I know in my heart that the status of us concubines is not that high."
He said with a somewhat disappointed tone: "I have no friends in this palace, and no one dares to be friends with me."
"My father-in-law was the first one to take the initiative to talk to me. If you don't mind, just call me that way when no one is around."
Hearing this, Nan Yanxi felt a little pity for this little girl.
The palace walls are high and deep, and such a simple little girl must be so lonely in this deep palace.
Then he smiled and said: "Okay! As long as the queen likes it, the slave can call her that!"
He called softly to the noble lady: "Wan'er?"
"Hey! Hehe..." Li Shuwan smiled warmly.
Suddenly he remembered something again and said to Nan Yanxi: "Then, if my father-in-law doesn't mind, can I call you Brother Yan?"
"Well... His Highness calls you Eunuch Yan. I think your surname is Yan, right?"
"Ah... no problem haha..." Nan Yanxi said with a hearty smile: "My name is Yan Xi before I enter the palace."
"I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me that way."
After hearing this, Li Shuwan was very happy and lowered her voice and shouted to Nan Yanxi: "Brother Yan?"
"Hey! Hahaha..."
One of them doesn't look like a eunuch, and the other doesn't look like a concubine.
You chatted with me sentence by sentence, and we gradually became familiar with each other.
After a few words of conversation, Nan Yanxi could easily feel that this girl was very thoughtful and kind.
Since the current harem exists in name only, Li Shuwan received basically no training in palace rules after entering the palace.
So I don't know much about the rules in the palace.
The distinction between master and servant in my heart is not that strong.
Moreover, in the past few years, she was the only one who took the initiative to be sent to the palace.
She was very ostracized in the palace.
The old people before the palace did not like to play with her.
The informants arranged by Mo Yunxi didn't bother to contact her.
Therefore, Li Shuwan was very eager to have a friend. Today, she went to Nan Yanxi and couldn't help but talk too much.
After walking for about a cup of tea in the quiet harem, a yard overgrown with grass gradually appeared in front of me.
Li Shuwan, who was chatting happily just now, suddenly hid behind Nan Yanxi in fear.
Even the guard leading the way consciously shortened the distance between him and Nan Yanxi.
The fear in my heart naturally goes without words.
Nan Yanxi was a little puzzled and asked softly: "Why Wan'er?"
"What is this place?"
Li Shuwan grabbed Nan Yanxi's clothes with some fear and whispered: "Brother Yan..."
"This...this is a courtyard that has been abandoned for a long time, called Yunxiu Palace."
"I heard that a sister named Concubine Wen lived here before."
As soon as these words came out, Nan Yanxi was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning. Yunxiu Palace?
That was the residence of his mother, Li Shuwen, although Nan Yanxi had almost no feelings for her father.
But Nan Yanxi felt unusually kind to her mother in this body.
Maybe it's because she risked her life to protect herself back then.
Later, whether it was his adoptive parents Lin Feng Wenxiu or now Zhou Zhicheng.
It was all because of gratitude to Li Shuwen that she spared no effort to protect and find Nan Yanxi.
Even Li Qi's support for Nan Yanxi was largely due to her.
Slowly walking through the gate of Yunxiu Palace, half of the gate has fallen off due to disrepair.
Reflecting the bright moonlight, Nan Yanxi looked into the palace, which was already overgrown with grass and dilapidated.
Different from the tension between Li Shuwan and the guard, Nan Yanxi had the urge to go in and take a look around.
He sighed hard and suppressed the strange mixed feelings in his heart.
The three of them finally walked through the door of Yunxiu Palace.
After walking forward for a long time, Li Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief and raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.
He said with lingering fear: "Brother Yan, you don't know something... The former owner of Yunxiu Palace, Concubine Wen, was attacked and killed in Shuiyue Temple outside the city."
"For so many years, this garden has been abandoned and no one lives in it anymore."
"I heard rumors from kilometers away that the spirit of Concubine Wen's sister has returned, so no one dares to live there."
Hearing what she said, Nan Yanxi shook her head helplessly and looked at the little girl.
He looked up again and looked at the young guard leading the way.
Nan Yanxi knew in her heart that these two guys had just entered the palace not long ago, so they must have heard about this kind of thing.
In one case, the servants in the palace also loved gossip.
Some things change their flavor once they are passed down from one person to another.
The Yunxiu Palace is empty, but Nan Xiao feels a little guilty and keeps it, just because of a guilty conscience.
As for Mo Waner and Mo Yunxi later when they came to power, the harem gradually fell into disrepair and there was no further arrangement.
That's all.
Nan Yanxi didn't say anything about this, but secretly thought in her heart that she must come and visit when she gets the chance.
While chatting with Li Shuwan wordlessly, they soon came to a small, clean and tidy yard ahead.
The yard is not big, but the green plants inside are lush, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Nan Yanxi looked up and saw three small characters written on the door plaque, Shuxiangyuan.
Because the number of people in the current harem has been greatly reduced.
For a noble person of very low rank like her, there is only one personal maid in the courtyard.
Other eunuchs and maids, except for cleaning, delivering meals and washing clothes every day, basically did not serve in her courtyard.
Now, the personal maid was released from the palace privately.
In the entire Shuxiang Courtyard, there were only two people standing guard at the entrance of the courtyard.
