Chapter 1601: After eating, you have to work hard
After meeting the mysterious man, Nan Yan urged the restaurant staff to serve the food quickly. She ate a little and then rushed back to the palace as soon as possible.
However, when they returned to Yiku Palace, it was already dusk.
As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw a familiar figure sitting at the table in Yikun Palace.
It was late in the evening, and the candle on the table was lit. The flickering candlelight reflected in those deep and dark eyes, revealing a heavy murderous aura.
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat: "Ah?"
"Ah what?"
Zhu Feng slowly turned his head.
His face was gloomy, even darker than the sky outside, and he said, "Do you think I shouldn't be here, or do you think I don't know what you did?"
“…”
Nan Yan's heart sank suddenly.
She wanted to say something, but her throat felt choked and she couldn't say anything.
He just stared at Zhu Feng blankly, and after a long while, he instinctively let out another "ah".
At this time, Zhu Feng slowly stood up and walked towards her.
Nan Yan was still standing at the door, the threshold against her feet, leaving her with no way to retreat. She watched Zhu Feng walk towards her step by step, as if a mountain was pressing down on her head, making it difficult for her to breathe. But she even forgot to run away, and just raised her head, looking at him silently.
"emperor……"
Just when she was about to say something in a hoarse voice, Zhu Feng suddenly reached out his hand to her.
"ah!"
Nan Yan let out a low cry unexpectedly.
Zhu Feng's hands twisted her face hard.
Nan Yan subconsciously reached out to touch it, but she felt Zhu Feng's rough back of the hand. He twisted Nan Yan's face, and even when her mouth was almost split open, he still didn't let go. He gritted his teeth and said, "I told you to go out, and you went out to play wild, didn't you?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her with wide eyes.
Zhu Feng's hand, still twisting her face tightly, said in a vicious tone, "It's fine if you don't need help during the visit, but you're still showing up on the streets and eating at restaurants? Don't you wish people would come over and see what you, the imperial concubine, look like?"
“…”
"Or are you just hoping someone will find out your identity so they can assassinate you? Huh!?"
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned for a long while before she said, "Your Majesty... knows everything?"
Zhu Feng asked, "What don't I know?"
“…”
That’s right.
After all, she was a royal concubine. Even if she went home to visit her parents, he would definitely send people to protect her and keep an eye on her. She stopped on the road and even went to a restaurant to eat. Of course, this kind of thing could not be concealed from anyone.
Even those who followed me had to report truthfully when they came back.
Nan Yan's eyes flickered for a moment, and she whispered, "Is this the reason why the Emperor is angry with me?"
Zhu Feng glared at her: "Why, besides this, have you done anything else to make me strangle you to death?"
“…”
Nan Yan was quiet for a while and shook her head: "No, no more."
“…”
"I dare not."
"snort!"
Seeing her humble appearance, Zhu Feng became even angrier. It was like this every time. Once she did something wrong, she never tried to justify herself and admitted her mistakes faster than anyone else, which made it impossible for him to investigate further.
It seems like I'm being unreasonable.
But, it was clearly her who was being unreasonable!
Thinking of this, Zhu Feng pinched her face hard again, then let go, turned around and walked back to the table and sat down angrily.
Nan Yan stood at the door and touched her face.
This time, Zhu Feng showed no mercy and almost twisted his cheek until it was swollen.
However, I was in the wrong after all, so there was nothing I could say.
not to mention--
The door behind her was not closed yet, and the cold wind blew in from behind, making her back cold. Only then did Nan Yan realize that she was sweating all over.
At that moment, she almost thought that Zhu Feng knew everything.
fortunately……
Although she thought it was a good thing, when she saw Zhu Feng sitting at the table again, she didn't know how long she had been waiting. Especially when she walked over and found that the cup of tea on the table had already gone cold, Nan Yan felt a little conflicted.
She really didn't know whether she was glad or not at this moment.
Seeing her slowly approaching him, Zhu Feng was still a little angry, but after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Which restaurant did you go to?"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.
Then he realized that although someone had reported his whereabouts to him, the most they could tell him was that he went to a restaurant in the city for dinner, but no detailed report of which restaurant it was had been given.
So he hurriedly said, "It's the same one from last time."
"Last time?"
"It was the house where the Emperor took me, the Prince of Wei, and Xinping to on the winter solstice."
"oh……"
After hearing this, Zhu Feng said nothing more.
After a moment of silence, he looked up at Nan Yan, and the expression on his face seemed to ease a little.
Then he said, "Serve the meal."
Eunuch Yu had been waiting outside as well. When he saw the Imperial Concubine finally return, he immediately sent someone to the Imperial Kitchen to serve the meal.
After a while, all kinds of dishes were placed on the table.
Moreover, they were all exquisite dishes, some of which were medicinal dishes, cooked very carefully, especially the big bowl of medicinal chicken soup. The butter on it had been skimmed off, the soup was milky white, and exuded a strong medicinal aroma. Even before drinking it, just smelling the fragrance made people feel refreshed.
Naturally, something like this cannot be produced in a short time.
I'm afraid he had specifically instructed the imperial kitchen to come and have dinner with her today.
Even though Zhu Feng's daily food and clothing were very simple, whenever he had a meal with her in Yikun Palace, the food was always much more exquisite.
He rolled his eyes at Nan Yan and said, "Sit down."
"oh."
Nan Yan immediately moved a stool and sat next to her.
The dishes and chopsticks were also placed in front of her.
Zhu Feng picked up the bowl himself, and seeing that she was hesitant to move, he said, "Why don't you eat?"
Nan Yan looked at him with a bitter face.
He clearly knew that he had already eaten at the restaurant outside the palace, so why was he still asking? His appetite had recovered a little recently, but it wasn't a bottomless pit.
I could only say, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I'm full."
"Are you full?"
"I'm full."
“…”
For some reason, it was just a simple question and answer, but Nan Yan seemed to see some ferocity on the emperor's face.
After a while, Zhu Feng nodded.
"good."
“…”
"As long as you're full."
“…”
After dinner, the people from the imperial kitchen cleared away the dishes on the table, and Aunt Tongyun and the others came to help them wash up. When they went to bed to rest, Nan Yan finally understood the deep meaning behind the gleam in Zhu Feng's eyes when she said "I'm full".
He made himself understand a truth firmly—
After eating, you have to work hard.
