Chapter 1513: Terrified

As soon as they stopped, a chorus of voices came from outside. The people waiting knelt on the ground and shouted to the golden carriage, "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine! Long live the Imperial Concubine!"

“…”

Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.

She subconsciously turned to Zhu Feng and frowned.

You have to know that Zhu Feng is the emperor, and it is impossible for her to bypass his level. When the servants kowtow, they should kowtow to the emperor first and then to her, the imperial concubine.

How come they only call her the Imperial Concubine and not the Emperor?

Isn't this punishable by death?

Just as she was stunned, she saw Zhu Feng's mouth curl up slightly. She immediately understood and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you——"

Zhu Feng smiled and said, "They don't know yet."

“……!”

Nan Yan simply didn't know what to say.

He wanted to accompany her back to visit her parents, but he didn't tell Gu Tingqiu. Aren't they deliberately playing a trick on her?

Gu Tingqiu was fine, but the servants in his family were probably scared to death.

Sure enough, when the carriage stopped and they got off one after another, Nan Yan heard a burst of gasps.

Gu Tingqiu, who was standing at the front of the team, also widened his eyes at this time.

"ah--?!"

Zhu Feng glanced at him.

“Emperor, Emperor…”

He was about to speak and was about to kowtow again when Zhu Feng glanced at Eunuch Yu, who immediately shouted, "My Imperial Concubine, change your clothes!"

After saying that, a group of palace maids came forward and surrounded them as they walked into the Gu Mansion.

After they all walked in, Gu Tingqiu stepped forward anxiously, grabbed Eunuch Yu, and asked in astonishment: "Eunuch Yu, what's going on? Just now, what was that--"

Eunuch Yu said with a smile: "Master Gu is not mistaken, it is the emperor."

"ah?!"

Gu Tingqiu was truly stunned. They had invited the imperial concubine home to visit her family, but who could have known they would bring back such a large Buddha? The emperor actually came in person.

He said, "What's going on?"

Eunuch Yu smiled and said, "Master Gu, there's no need to panic. The Emperor simply couldn't bear to see His Majesty come out alone, so he accompanied her."

“…”

"This is also a matter of honor for you, Master Gu."

“…”

Gu Tingqiu was gasping for breath.

It is indeed an honor, but the specifications of the welcoming ceremony tonight are all based on the rank of the imperial concubine. Now that the emperor is coming in person, what should we do?

Just when he was a little panicked, Eunuch Yu smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, Master Gu. Since the Emperor didn't notify us in advance, then you are innocent. You can still do what you have to do. Just tell the servants not to run around and behave themselves."

"Of course."

As Gu Tingqiu spoke, he broke out in a cold sweat despite the freezing weather, and wiped his forehead with his sleeve.

Eunuch Yu went in with a smile to serve.

At this time, Simuyun, who was standing at the back of the queue, and some people from the Gu family also came forward and asked one after another: "Uncle, what's going on?"

"Yes, uncle, that was just now——"

Gu Tingqiu raised his hand, stopping their chaotic questions, and simply said, "Mu Yun."

Simuyun immediately said, "Yes."

"Hurry up and go to the inner courtyard to inform the women there that the emperor has arrived."

"ah--!"

Si Muyun couldn't help but open his eyes wide. At that moment, he thought he had seen it wrong, but he didn't expect it to be true. The emperor actually accompanied his concubine sister back to the Gu family to visit relatives!

This, this is simply unbelievable!

Gu Tingqiu said: "Tell them not to move or talk nonsense, and also restrain the servants from running around. And -"

"What?"

"Put aside all the songs, dances, and plays prepared for tonight and wait for my orders."

"yes."

"Go quickly!"

"yes."

Si Muyun hurriedly entered the gate and ran all the way to the inner courtyard.

Gu Tingqiu then called out to the others, "Follow me in immediately and prepare to accompany the Emperor. Remember, no one is allowed to speak carelessly today. The Emperor and the Imperial Concubine are different. If one word goes wrong, be careful that our entire family will be executed."

Everyone was immediately alerted: "Yes."

Everyone hurried into the mansion.

On the other side, Zhu Feng and Nan Yan and their group entered the Gu Mansion. Soon someone sent them to the side hall. After washing up a bit, Nan Yan took off her coat and left only a home dress, which was also a gorgeous long dress. Although it made her look too thin, she still looked elegant.

Zhu Feng on the other side also took off his heavy fox fur coat.

He was wearing a dark blue robe inside.

His figure is still as good as ever, with broad shoulders, a thin waist, and long, straight legs. Even ordinary clothes look particularly outstanding on him.

He looked like an ordinary husband accompanying his wife back to her parents' home.

Nan Yan glanced at him and couldn't help but look at him again.

At this moment, Xinping's giggle suddenly came from the side. Nan Yan quickly turned her head away. Zhu Feng also turned his head immediately when he heard the laughter.

Zhu Feng heard the laughter and turned around.

I saw Xinping sitting on the chair, covering his mouth with his hands, his eyes curved.

Zhu Feng couldn't help laughing and said, "Little brat, what are you laughing at?"

Xinping pointed at Nanyan and said loudly, "Mother is looking at Father!"

“…”

“…”

The room suddenly became quiet.

The two people looked at each other. Nan Yan felt as if her cheeks were about to burn, and she quickly turned her head away. Zhu Feng watched her turn her head away, leaving a little redness on her earlobe, and the smile on his face deepened.

But at this time, there were still people waiting outside.

He coughed lightly, then tapped Xinping's nose: "Little brat."

"hey-hey."

Just as the three of them were chatting and laughing, Eunuch Yu walked to the door and said through the door: "Your Majesty, Royal Concubine, the servants in the mansion are here to kowtow to Your Majesty and Royal Concubine."

Zhu Feng said: "Tell them, forget it."

“…”

"The Imperial Concubine and I arrived late today, so there's no need for these empty formalities."

"yes."

Eunuch Yu immediately went down to pass on the message.

By the time Zhu Feng and Nan Yan had changed their clothes, a red carpet had been laid at the door, extending directly to the main hall in front. In the spacious hall, the lights were bright, and many people could be seen waiting there.

"Let's go."

Zhu Feng held her hand and led her forward.

Straight ahead, walked into the main hall.

As soon as the two of them walked to the seats in the front of the main hall and sat down, Gu Tingqiu brought his entire family forward to kowtow.

Through a curtain, Nan Yan looked at the people outside.
