Chapter 886: Stopping Tea Drinking
In a blink of an eye, two days passed.
This day was the day when Concubine Li was canonized. Although it was only a small concubine, Zhu Feng's recent special favor for Feng Shu had caused quite a stir in the harem.
So today, almost all the concubines in the harem were present.
Moreover, it’s not to Yonghe Palace.
Instead, he went to Yangxingzhai where Feng Shu lived.
Originally, concubines who were ordained as such had to go to Yonghe Palace to receive instruction from the empress, and the emperor would never be present. However, this time, the emperor actually wanted to personally participate in Lipin's enthronement ceremony.
Therefore, the ceremony was held directly in Yangxingzhai.
Let the queen and other concubines go to Yangxingzhai.
Along the way, everyone's face was not very happy. Some people were secretly cursing: "What kind of person is this!"
"Shh, keep your voice down."
"That's right, don't let anyone hear it. The emperor dotes on her now."
"So what if she's favored? Wasn't the Imperial Concubine also favored a few days ago? Now, she's nothing, isn't she?"
…
These words reached Nan Yan's ears from afar.
Her expression became even darker.
The sun was blazing overhead, but her face was completely dry, its color as pale as ice. Ran Xiaoyu, who was walking beside her, whispered with some concern, "Mother...?"
Nan Yan turned her head and glanced at her, then said calmly, "I'm fine."
Ran Xiaoyu carefully leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, "Don't worry, my lady. Today, the truth will come out!"
“…”
Nan Yan turned her head to look at her and nodded slightly.
Everyone walked all the way to Yangxingzhai.
This place was probably the most deserted place in the harem just over a month ago, but now it has become very popular, and even the interior decoration has become much more luxurious.
After all, its owner was about to be promoted from Zhaoyi to concubine.
Everyone walked in.
At this time, Queen Xu Miaoyin was already inside, sitting upright on the main seat, and the person sitting with her on the main seat was none other than Zhu Feng, whom they had wanted to see but couldn't in these days.
As soon as Nan Yan saw him, she suddenly felt the sunshine around her become brighter.
My eyes were a little black from being stung.
They walked forward, and Yingying bowed down: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty."
Zhu Feng raised his hand calmly: "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
His indifferent voice sounded above his head again: "Everyone sit down."
"yes."
Everyone sat down on both sides of the emperor and empress.
Nan Yan held the armrest of the chair and slowly sat down. After lowering her head and being silent for a long time, she couldn't help but raised her head and looked forward.
Zhu Feng sat upright on it.
He was still the same as usual, with that kind of tough handsomeness that made people unable to take their eyes off him at any time. However, I don’t know if it was because the sun was too strong today, or because I hadn’t seen him for too long.
He seemed a little strange.
The gentle expression and peaceful gaze that he was very familiar with had completely disappeared at this moment.
There was a sense of heat in his eyes and breath.
He seemed to be full of impatience with everyone and everything. After everyone had just sat down for a while, his brows were already furrowed and he said impatiently, "Is everyone here?"
Xiao Shunzi hurried forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Kang hasn't arrived yet."
"snort,"
Zhu Feng snorted coldly: "Do you want me to wait for her?"
Xu Miaoyin next to him was stunned for a moment.
Although Concubine Kang often neglected herself on weekdays, she never dared to neglect Zhu Feng.
And now, the time has not come yet.
She was about to say something when Zhu Feng said coldly, "No more waiting!"
"yes."
Xiao Shunzi nodded and whispered to the outside, "Empress Li."
"yes."
As a charming voice sounded, a graceful figure walked in from outside.
Everyone immediately turned to look at the door.
Feng Shu was already wearing a dress suitable for a concubine, which was elegant and luxurious. However, because she was extremely beautiful, and for today's occasion, she had put on heavy makeup and her hair was covered with pearl hairpins. The contrast between the two made her look a bit strange.
Nan Yan only took one look at her and felt as if she was stabbed in the eyes. She frowned slightly and lowered her eyelids.
When the concubines around her saw her like this, some of them were naturally envious.
At this time, Feng Shu had already walked in front of Xu Miaoyin and knelt on the ground: "I pay my respects to the emperor, may our emperor live long and long; I pay my respects to the queen, may the queen live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Xu Miaoyin only raised her eyelids.
Zhu Feng said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty."
Feng Shu stood up, looked up at Zhu Feng, and smiled sweetly again, and Zhu Feng nodded at her.
Nan Yan lowered her eyes lightly.
Look at the nose with your eyes, look at the heart with your nose, and pretend that you can't see anything.
Xu Miaoyin looked at them quietly, then said: "Lipin——"
"I'm here."
Feng Shu took a step forward. She knew that she would be instructed by the Queen next.
Xu Miaoyin's expression was rather dull from the beginning. It was difficult to tell whether she was happy or angry when she was dealing with things normally. Even when King Wei was imprisoned, she went to the prison to accompany him in person. Even in such a big matter, she rarely showed her emotions on her face.
But at this time, Nan Yan could clearly feel the impatience emanating from her.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Zhu Feng turned his head and looked at her: "Hmm?"
Xu Miaoyin covered her mouth, coughed twice, and said, "Your Majesty, I have lost my composure."
"What's wrong? Is the Queen feeling unwell?"
"Maybe I caught a cold last night, so my throat feels uncomfortable today."
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said, "The weather has been unpredictable these past few days. The Queen should also be careful."
As Zhu Feng spoke, he also coughed twice.
"Come here, serve tea to the Queen."
"yes."
The surrounding maids immediately responded and went down. Seeing this, Feng Shu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I will also serve tea to Your Majesty."
When he thought of her tea, the gloom on Zhu Feng's face faded a little.
Nodding, "Okay."
So Feng Shu turned around and went downstairs. After a while, she brought a specially made cup and handed it respectfully to Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng took it and was about to drink it when suddenly a voice came from outside -
"Wait a minute!"
The cup of tea he was about to bring to his lips stopped.
When everyone heard the voice, they all looked up and saw Concubine Kang Wu Wan slowly walking in from outside.
Everyone was shocked when they saw her.
Zhu Feng frowned immediately and said, "Concubine Kang, what were you just saying?!"
You know, she was talking to the emperor just now.
Wu Wan slowly walked into Yangxingzhai and knelt down before Zhu Feng. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. However, it was out of consideration for your majesty that I stopped you from drinking the tea sent by Consort Feng."
