Chapter 1236 You have been a little angry recently
Nan Yan took it and just as she walked to the clothes rack to hang it up, she heard Zhu Feng say behind her, "I heard that you withheld Concubine Kang's monthly salary?"
“…”
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Are you going to "complain" so soon?
She turned around calmly and said to Zhu Feng, "Yes, how did the emperor know?"
Zhu Feng sat on the couch she had just sat on, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip, then said, "I ran into a maid from Jianfu Palace today. I was taking something to pawn outside the palace."
“…”
Nan Yan sneered in her heart when she heard this.
The deduction of her monthly salary was just a recent incident, so she shouldn't have taken her things out of the palace to pawn them immediately, and was caught red-handed by Zhu Feng.
This person is quite dramatic.
Nan Yan walked up to Zhu Feng and said, "So, did the emperor punish that palace maid?"
"There must be a lot of such things in the palace. I don't have the energy to deal with them one by one."
"Then what did the Emperor say and do to me?"
Zhu Feng looked up at her and said, "I have given you the power to assist in managing the six palaces. Normally, I shouldn't interfere in these matters, but—"
Nan Yan tilted her head and looked at him.
Zhu Feng said, "You should be more lenient."
“…”
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
It seems that he feels that the punishment is too severe.
Of course, if you really think about it, Feng Qianyan did not do anything wrong. She just "accidentally" sprained her foot outside the Yiku Palace, so it was not her fault; sending her back to Jianfu Palace was also Zhu Feng's own decision, so it was not her fault; as for the fact that she bumped into him at the gate of the Yiku Palace in the morning, it was a trivial matter.
In any case, there is no need to deduct half a year's salary from her.
But Nan Yan could feel that this woman had an indescribable power, or rather, Nan Yan could feel that she was secretly competing with herself.
That's why she was "severely punished" like this.
But, how can this feeling be explained in words?
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then said softly, "Your Majesty, do you think what I did was wrong?"
Zhu Feng smiled faintly and said, "Whether it's right or wrong, you've already done it. I don't care. I'm just telling you to be more lenient."
“…”
"You've been a little irritable lately."
It was really strange to hear these words coming out of his mouth.
You know, whether inside or outside the palace, or even on the battlefield, Zhu Feng has never been a generous person, but he reminds himself to be generous and says that he has a bad temper.
Are you very angry?
Nan Yan thought for a while, then said softly, "I understand."
Zhu Feng then smiled and nodded, reaching out to hold her hand: "Okay, go to bed early."
"yes."

The night passed quickly.
The next morning, Zhu Feng had breakfast in Yiku Palace before leaving. After he left, Nan Yan sat on the couch, watching the palace maids clear the dishes on the table, with a thoughtful expression on her face.
Ran Xiaoyu came over: "My lady, what are you thinking about?"
"I," Nan Yan raised her head and looked at her: "Xiao Yu, I want to ask you something."
"What's up?"
"Have I been irritable lately?"
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu suddenly opened her eyes wide, not knowing why she suddenly asked this question, and said, "What's wrong? Who said that the queen is angry?"
"Your Majesty, he said I have a bad temper."
"Nonsense, he's the firecracker himself!"
Nan Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing. After laughing, she continued, "However, he hasn't been so angry lately. Yesterday at Zhujian Academy, I was worried several times that he would lose his temper. In the end, he didn't lose his temper until we left. It's really rare."
Ran Xiaoyu said, "It was the Queen's voice that shocked everyone."
Nan Yan then remembered that when those students were making a lot of noise yesterday, she had roared and scolded them all so hard that they dared not speak. She couldn't help but smile: "So, I really am a bit angry?"
Ran Xiaoyu frowned.
Although she was straightforward, she was also very thoughtful. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Why would the Emperor suddenly tell Her Majesty this? Could it be because of that Kang--"
Before he could finish his words, Tingfu ran in from outside.
"Your Highness."
Nan Yan raised her head: "What's the matter?"
"The Empress has sent someone over, telling all the ladies in the harem to go to the Imperial Garden to prepare for the ceremony the day after tomorrow."
"oh."
After all, the day after tomorrow is a grand ceremony. All the concubines have different standing positions and have to salute after entering. Although the time is short, they cannot lose the face of the royal family in public, so they still have to practice in advance.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Have Concubine Kang and the others gone?"
Tingfu was stunned for a moment, not knowing why his queen suddenly paid attention to Concubine Kang.
He quickly replied, "Since the Empress has asked all the ladies in the harem to go, probably Concubine Kang should be there too."
"That's good."
Nan Yan held out her hand, and Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly helped her to stand up. A slight smile appeared on her face: "I was just looking forward to seeing her."
Ran Xiaoyu realized that she might have asked the right question.
Soon, they left Yiku Palace and arrived at the Imperial Garden.
It was already midsummer and the weather was a bit hot. As soon as I reached the gate of the Imperial Garden, I heard a lot of complaints from inside. Everyone was shouting that the weather was hot and that they shouldn't be asked to come out and suffer at this time.
However, looking around, everyone was wearing red and green, and even if there were hundreds of flowers blooming in the imperial garden, it would be difficult to compete with them in beauty.
Nan Yan immediately saw a figure that was a little dazzling to her.
Feng Qianyan stood among a group of concubines who were waving their fans and complaining constantly. She seemed very quiet, wearing a light green dress that made her skin look snow-white. I wonder if all her head ornaments were really pawned, as she only wore a few small hairpins on her head, looking extremely simple.
Seeing her, Nan Yan's mouth corners curled up slightly.
As she walked over, someone immediately called out, "The Imperial Concubine has arrived!"
As soon as they saw her coming, they all knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan walked over slowly, looked at them, and waved her hand: "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone stood up, and Feng Qianyan also stood up, but when she looked up, she met Nan Yan's gaze. She hurriedly lowered her head. After a while, she felt a burning sensation on her body, as if Nan Yan's gaze had never moved away. She raised her eyes cautiously and found that she was still staring at her.
That look was as sharp as a knife!
Feng Qianyan's heart trembled, and she subconsciously took a step back and almost fell.
Fortunately, the palace maid Hanxiang supported her and said, "Empress Kang, what's wrong with you?"
"I, I'm fine."
As she spoke, she raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.
At this time, Concubine Kang Wu Wan, who was watching coldly from the side, laughed and walked over waving a fan. She said with a smile: "What's wrong, Concubine Kang? You look guilty. Did you offend our Imperial Concubine and are you afraid of her?"
