Chapter 55: Just Stay

Just Stay

"And speaking of this matter, it starts from when you and Zhan'er were married... Actually, I privately had people inquire about you back then, but to tell the truth, what reached my ears was not good news. And on the day of the wedding, there were some disturbances, so I thought at the time that since the marriage was already settled and Zhan'er had no objections, I would not see you..."

"But in the end, I also had my own selfishness. After all, Zhan'er is not my own flesh and blood. Therefore, I have been thinking these days that if my cousin were still alive, surely no matter what Zhan'er's wife was like, she would have met her... So, taking advantage of this opportunity, I had Zhan'er bring you over..."

Zhang Guifei's face was sincere, and when she mentioned Noble Consort Ning, her eyes even welled up with moisture.

"But now I am finally relieved. Truly, rumors are not to be trusted. How could such a perfectly fine person be described in that way... Sigh, I should have had Zhan'er bring you over sooner..."

If Zhang Guifei had said today that she had no other intentions and was just concerned about Yin Fengzhan, Nie Jinxuan would likely not have believed her. But in fact, Zhang Guifei did not say that; instead, she straightforwardly said that Yin Fengzhan was not her own son, and even straightforwardly said she was selfish... Therefore, it actually made Nie Jinxuan believe her.

So, watching Zhang Guifei speak sentence by sentence, and becoming more emotional as she spoke, Nie Jinxuan naturally could not say anything more and had to follow Zhang Guifei's words and offer some comfort.

Just like that, the short afternoon passed. In the blink of an eye, it was dusk. The two brothers, Yin Fengzhan and Yin Fengxuan, walked in. After some more conversation, Zhang Guifei couldn't help but say with a smile:

"Hehe~, I am happy today, but it is getting late. Zhan'er, Xuan'er, you should go back."

They were children she had raised herself, so Zhang Guifei was not formal. But as she said this, Zhang Guifei paused and turned to look at Yin Fengzhan.

"But Zhan'er, you are busy with official business, so I won't say anything. But I like this girl Jinxuan, so in the future, if there is nothing going on in the Wangfu, bring Jinxuan into the palace more often to keep me company. Otherwise, I am bored by myself in the palace~!"

"Hehe, forget it, Mother. Isn't it enough to have me? Why let her come?"

Yin Fengxuan had never had a good impression of Nie Jinxuan, so hearing Zhang Guifei say this, he couldn't help but interject. But as soon as he spoke, he received an eye-roll from Zhang Guifei.

"Wait for you?! I still think your sister-in-law is better. You boy, you disappear as soon as you leave the palace. If I waited for you, my hair would turn white!"

After blocking Yin Fengxuan with that, Zhang Guifei smiled slightly at Nie Jinxuan, who was standing next to Yin Fengzhan. Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Thank you for the compliment, Aunt. Jinxuan will keep it in my heart, and I will definitely come into the palace more often to keep you company when I have time."

"Hehe~, look, look at this little mouth, it's truly sweet. Alright, I have noted it down, hehe~"

Zhang Guifei was very satisfied with Nie Jinxuan's obedience, which made Yin Fengxuan, who was to the side, roll his eyes. But at this moment, just as Nie Jinxuan wanted to take her leave of Zhang Guifei, Yin Fengzhan, who had not said much, suddenly said in a low voice:

"Since Aunt likes Jinxuan, why not let her stay tonight to keep Aunt company. Tomorrow during the day, this son will enter the palace again to take her back." ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
