The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again

Chapter 421: Evil and Scheming True Gold 39

"Although people around the village have rarely seen her, they all know that the Lan family has such a daughter who has been raised in the temple since she was a child. She is also very beautiful."

Xiao Chenyan narrowed his deep eyes slightly, "Go check again."

His voice was very cold.

"My Lord, is there something wrong?"

"There is something wrong with this person." Xiao Chenyan had a feeling that something was wrong with her.

"She doesn't look like a farm girl."

"Maybe it's because Concubine Lan was born beautiful? Your Majesty, although her looks were given by her parents, sometimes it also depends on her parents' gift, right? I have seen a pair of parents who were not good-looking, but their children were all very handsome."

"Look at her demeanor. How can she look like someone from a humble family?"

"Maybe it was the influence of the temple?"

Eunuch Wang has been with Xiao Chenyan for many years. Although he is just a eunuch, he is also one of his right-hand men.

But this time, they really couldn't find any problem.

Xiao Chenyan, however, turned the jade ring in his hand and sneered, "The fact that there is no problem is actually the biggest problem. This king has always believed in his intuition. Just go and check it out."

Eunuch Wu said no more.

Xiao Chenyan hurried back to the capital overnight. He had been running around outside these days without a night's rest, and this time he went straight to the palace when he came back.

After Xiao Jing received the news, he was very surprised, "The emperor's uncle is back so soon?"

Although he was surprised, Xiao Jinghui was also very happy. The emperor's uncle was his relative. He knew that the emperor's uncle was a cold-hearted person and was very kind to him, not to mention that he was the mother who gave birth to him and raised him.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go over?"

Xiao Jinghui shook his head: "I won't go there. The emperor's uncle and his mother are reunited. I'll go there at dinner time. By the way, where is Lan Zhaoyi? Is she in the palace of the Empress Dowager?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Concubine Lan has been attending to the Empress Dowager from morning till night these days."

Xiao Jinghui nodded. He couldn't help but think of Lan Zhaoyi's breathtakingly beautiful face.

"After some time, I will promote her to a higher rank as a reward."

In a few months, it will be a year since the Emperor passed away. His mourning period will be over. Since she entered the palace, he has not been close to her because of filial piety.

..............

As soon as Xiao Chenyan walked into the Empress Dowager's palace, he saw Lan Zhaoyi inside.

From the back, she and Jiang Nanqiuqiu really look alike. It's almost like they are the same person. But from the front, they are two completely different people.

"Mother, my son is back."

However, when Jiang Nanqiu heard the voice, he was so frightened that the bowl of soup in his hand fell to the ground.

"Yan'er."

As soon as the Empress Dowager saw Xiao Chenyan, she smiled, but her face was also full of tears.

"Mother, how is your health?" Xiao Chenyan asked.

Jiang Nanqiu stood there, totally at a loss. She was really nervous. She was so afraid that Xiao Chenyan would find her. But she kept telling herself that she had changed her appearance and Xiao Chenyan would not recognize her. Because only in this way would her heart be a little more at ease.

The mother and son were reminiscing about the past. Jiang Nanqiu was about to pick up the broken pieces on the ground, but the Empress Dowager saw him and quickly stopped him, saying, "Just ask the palace maids to come in and clean up. Don't move."

"It's all your fault. If you come back to the palace in the future, you must inform us in advance. Today, you suddenly appeared from behind and frightened not only Concubine Lan Zhaoyi, but also me."

The Empress Dowager was in a good mood when her son came back. Although she spoke words of reproach, her tone was not obvious.

Xiao Chenyan's eyes scanned Jiang Nanqiu twice.

Jiang Nanqiu could also feel the oppressive gaze coming from the opposite side.

"I will not disturb the Empress Dowager and the Regent any longer. I will take my leave. I will come back to serve you tomorrow."

The Empress Dowager nodded lovingly: "Go back, you have worked hard all day, you don't have to come tomorrow, spend more time with the Emperor."

The Empress Dowager already treated her as a junior.

"Lan Zhaoyi has been serving me all this time. I used to have some respect for her, but after getting to know her, I found that she has a very good temper and is gentle and careful in her work."

The Empress Dowager liked her more and more as she spoke, "Hui'er has good taste. She and the Emperor are a perfect match."

Jiang Nanqiu had only been away for a few hours when he learned that there was a dinner party in the palace that evening. Since Xiao Chenyan had returned, Xiao Jinghui suggested that the family have a meal together.

Jiang Nanqiu was the only concubine in the palace, and the Empress Dowager liked him now, so she went with him.

"My beloved concubine is too thin, please eat more."

The Empress Dowager agreed with this statement very much: "Your Majesty is right. I discovered today that Concubine Lan eats too little."

"I am still waiting for the day when you two can give me great-grandchildren."

Talking about this topic, the Empress Dowager unconsciously looked at Xiao Chenyan again.

She sighed, "I don't count on Yan'er anymore."

Jiang Nanqiu lowered her head. The four of them were now sitting together for dinner, and Xiao Chenyan happened to be sitting opposite her. Xiao Chenyan didn't know her identity, so it was nothing. But Jiang Nanqiu knew that she was embarrassed and guilty.

"Why are you so silent today?" asked the Empress Dowager, "Are you afraid of Yan Er?"

Ever since Xiao Chenyan appeared, Lan Zhaoyi has been keeping her head down abnormally.

Jiang Nanqiu quickly shook his head.

"The Imperial Uncle is intimidating without even getting angry, and he does look a little scary. But you don't have to be afraid, the Imperial Uncle is the one who appears cold on the outside but is warm on the inside." Xiao Jinghui also noticed her restraint and persuaded her.

The three of them looked at her, and Jiang Nanqiu had no choice but to nod again, "I understand."

Xiao Jinghui picked up some food for Jiang Nanqiu again.

However, Jiang Nanqiu was really nervous when she was with Xiao Chenyan. She subconsciously ate with her left hand. When she realized what was happening, her heartbeat accelerated.

Although there are not many people who are used to eating with their left hand, there are still some. But Jiang Nanqiu is guilty, so she has been training to do everything with her right hand for a while, for fear of any leak, especially to Xiao Chenyan, who knows her best.

Jiang Nanqiu raised her head calmly and found that everyone was eating and no one noticed her. She was relieved. When she talked to the Empress Dowager, she put down her chopsticks very naturally. When she picked them up again, she naturally switched to the right. Then, the tension in her heart eased a lot.

Although this was just a small matter, Jiang Nanqiu was afraid that Xiao Chenyan would find out that she had become Xiao Jinghui's concubine. If he really knew, she would be finished!
