Chapter 2128 Smile
2128 Smile
After spending around an incense stick of time with Gu Xia Mo, Yan Jin Nian had to leave.
She felt rather unwilling, but she knew that it was impossible for her to stay with him 24 hours a day.
“You can come again after the affairs are over,” Gu Xia Mo said helplessly. He also wanted to spend more time with Yan Jin Nian, but he knew that she has more things to do. “I guess that there should be another important part?”
“Yeah.” Yan Jin Nian nodded.
She was a bit worried for the upcoming banquet that Empress Xiao wanted to hold. The reason for the banquet itself was not important as what Yan Jin Nian was worried about was whether there would be someone who would come forward to oppose Nan Hua there. As for herself?
Yan Jin Nian’s position would not threaten these younger generations because she had said that she only stayed here temporarily.
Afterwards, she would go back to Yi Shang Temple to recuperate.
So these people would not intentionally make things difficult for Yan Jin Nian. They all knew that there was no point in doing so.
“Do you need help?” Gu Xia Mo asked.
“Can you even help?” Yan Jin Nian rolled her eyes ungracefully. She knew very well that Gu Xia Mo had no power whatsoever in Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City. Even if he wanted to help her, he couldn’t really do anything. “I can’t do anything, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t ask help from Long Qian Xing. Anyway, he owe me a favor,” Gu Xia Mo said righteously. “Isn’t it you who owe him a favor?” Yan Jin Nian looked at Gu Xia Mo suspiciously.
*cough*
Gu Xia Mo looked away and smiled sheepishly. “Anyway, how about that?”
“No need.” Yan Jin Nian shook her head and smiled faintly. “If something happens to Hua’er, he will be the first to make a move. You don’t even need to use favor to ask for his help.”
Since Nan Hua is Long Qian XIng’s fiancée, one that he chased for so many years, he would definitely hold her in his palm carefully for fear of any accident. If Long Qian Xing were to hear that someone dared to plot against Nan Hua, he wouldn’t be able to stay quiet.
In fact, he should be the first one to make a move.
“Right.” Gu Xia Mo nodded.
He knew Long Qian Xing well and if the person in question is someone whom he hold dear in his heart, there was no way Long Qian Xing would stay silent and do nothing. “Just stay here and wait.” Yan Jin Nian stood up. “It shouldn’t take that long anymore.”
“Until their marriage?” Gu Xia Mo arched his eyebrows. Yan Jin Nian laughed and nodded faintly. Because after the marriage between Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing, her work should be over as long as she worked hard during this period of time. Even though it was a bit tiring, Yan Jin Nian had to say that she was very motivated and wanted to finish it as soon as possible. “That’s good.” Gu Xia Mo nodded and looked at Yan Jin Nian in front of him. He stretched his hand. “Remember to be careful.”
“Yes?” Yan Jin Nian held his hand in confusion.
The next moment, Gu Xia Mo exerted his strength and grabbed Yan Jin Nian’s hand to pull her closer to him. He smiled and pressed his lips against Yan Jin Nian.
The surprised Yan Jin Nian wanted to push back, but when she saw what Gu Xia Mo was doing, she stopped and kissed back. …
<not long distance away, Imperial Palace, Empress Xiao’s Palace>
Empress Xiao was looking at the servants that were busy outside and lowered her eyes slightly to look at the book in her hand. There was nothing much for her to do aside from resting once she was done with her work. Empress Xiao could only look at the various books that was sold outside and brought inside by her maidservants. “Her Majesty, Empress Dowager Yan seems to be quite concerned about the tea party, Your Majesty,” one of the maidservants informed. “Ben Gong* know,” Empress Xiao replied unhurriedly.
She could see that Empress Dowager Yan paid more attention to this tea party, more so than the other tea party that Empress Dowager Yan attended in the past few days after her return to Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City.
The reason…?
Is it because of that young miss?
Empress Xiao’s eyes flickered but she suppressed all questions in her heart. There was no good thing that would come from her asking this kind of questions. Empress Xiao would not be stupid enough to make that kind of mistake. It was good enough for her right now.
The Xiao Family behind her would never allow her to do what she wanted if it was not beneficial to them. And the Xiao Family refused to be tied to any faction on the surface.
As for what was beneath it?
It was another question.
…
<Not long distance away, Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City, Nan Family Residence>
Nan Hua listened to Nan Si Qiao’s lecture about various matters. In this regards, Nan Si Qiao was indeed the one who knew the best as she was forced to attend some of these things not long ago. Before it was time for Nan Hua to go, Old Master Nan called the two of them.
“Father?”
“Grandpa?”
The two of them asked Old Master Nan. Old Master Nan looked at the two women and sighed deeply. “I have just received news from Qian Shao. He’ll go back to Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City soon. He had chosen to retire from his position and will not go to the battlefield anymore.”
Qian Shao?
Feng Qian Shao?
Nan Hua’s eyes flickered as she turned to look at Nan Si Qiao. Feng Qian Shao is General Feng’s name. In other words, Nan Si Qiao’s husband and also the three Feng brothers’ father.
Ben Gong: This palace, or “I” used by the women of Imperial Family members. (Princess, Empress, and so on when their husband is alive)
