Chapter 552: Conferred as Imperial Concubine
Xu Miaoyin smiled at her without saying much.
At this time, a small figure walked down from a carriage at the back. It was Zhu Chengxuan.
This was his first time in the Jinling Imperial Palace. He looked around, then cautiously stepped forward and knelt before Xu Miaoyin, saying, "Son pays respects to the Queen Mother."
Everyone was shocked.
Xu Miaoyin also hurried forward to help him up: "Chengxuan, you are finally here!"
In fact, she had received Xu Shifeng's letter a long time ago and knew that Zhu Feng would take him south this time, but she didn't feel relieved until she saw him.
Zhu Chengxuan said, "My son has always missed his mother."
"Mother misses you too."
Xu Miaoyin patted his shoulder gently, then turned to look at Zhu Feng with a very happy expression.
This can be considered a "family reunion".
At this time, the concubines around also gathered up and said to Zhu Chengxuan, "Your Highness."
It was also the first time that Zhu Chengxuan saw these concubines. He was frightened and a little timid. He took a step back and then saluted them.
Zhu Feng frowned again as he looked at his frail appearance.
At this time, Concubine Ning Qin Ruolan, who had been standing to the side, even further away than Xia Yunting and the others, suddenly said, "Your Highness, you must be very tired after the journey, right?"
“…”
Zhu Feng turned around and looked at her.
Xu Miaoyin immediately said, "Yes, Chengxuan, are you tired? Mother has already asked them to settle you down."
After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Zhu Feng.
Although everyone is tired, whether they can go in and rest still depends on this gentleman's decision.
Zhu Feng glanced at them, was silent for a moment, and said, "Let's go. I have some things to discuss with you later."
Of course Xu Miaoyin knew that it was time to discuss Zhu Chengxuan’s title.
She nodded. "Yes."
As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at the crowd.
Then, everyone followed the emperor and empress inside.
In the past, when she was in Peking or outside, Nan Yan always followed Zhu Feng closely, but this time, she couldn't keep up because the other concubines had already filled the space next to Zhu Feng.
Of course, she could only follow behind.
But it was also at this time that she saw the gazes of Wu Wan and others, staring at Zhu Chengxuan's small figure like knives.
Nan Yan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
When she left Peking, she reminded Zhu Chengxuan, but at this moment, she truly saw the hostility of those people towards the child.
Although he arrived in Jinling and was by his father's side, he was probably only going from a safe place to a dangerous place.
Just as he was thinking about it, he found that the knife-like gaze was stabbing him again.
When he looked up, he saw several beautiful concubines in the crowd staring at him, but when they realized he was looking at them, they immediately looked away.
A look of disdain on his face.
"Oh--"
Nan Yan couldn't help but chuckle.
She was so busy worrying about Zhu Chengxuan that she forgot about it.
The one who is really in danger is yourself.
And it seemed that before Xu Miaoyin told everyone that Zhu Feng was going to make her his consort, they had already glared at her.
When they all knew——
I'm afraid it will be a bloody storm.
At this moment, a hand grabbed her hand from behind. When she turned around, it was Ran Xiaoyu.
She had a blank expression on her face, looking as cold as ice, but her palms were warm. Nan Yan stood in the wind for a while, and her fingertips, which had been blown cold, were immediately warmed up by her.
Nan Yan chuckled softly and said, "Xiao Yu, are you worried that I'm scared?"
Ran Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at her: "Who cares about you?"
“…”
"I'm the one who's obsessed with you. I'm afraid you'll fall flat on your face here, so I'll show my face."
“…”
Nan Yan smiled and held her hand with her backhand.

Everyone returned to the palace and walked into Zhu Feng's Wuying Hall. They chatted briefly, mostly expressing their longing for each other.
Zhu Feng reluctantly sat for a while and then said he wanted to go to the imperial study.
Everyone naturally dispersed and returned to their respective palaces.
Zhu Chengxuan moved into Chengqian Palace.
Knowing he was coming, Xu Miaoyin had people prepare early, cleaned the place, and personally took him in.
After talking for a while, he felt sorry for him for the long journey and let him rest.
Then, we returned to Yonghe Palace.
As soon as she entered, she saw Zhu Feng sitting in Yonghe Palace, holding a cup of tea in his hand. Xu Miaoyin hurried over and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I didn't know you were coming. Please forgive me."
Zhu Feng raised his hand to signal her to stand up, and said, "It's okay. I'll go to the imperial study. After they've dealt with everything, I'll come to see you."
Xu Miaoyin walked to the other side and sat down.
Chun'er also hurriedly brought her hot tea.
Zhu Feng asked, "Is everything arranged at Chengqian Palace?"
"Yes," Xu Miaoyin said with a smile, "I just happen to have something to ask the emperor for instructions."
"What?"
"Just send someone to serve Cheng Xuan. He just arrived in Jinling and is not familiar with everything."
“…”
"What I mean is to transfer someone from my palace. Ran Xiaoyu——"
Zhu Feng raised his hand, interrupting her, and said, "I have brought two people from the palace. They have been following him and are serving here. In addition, we can assign another old man to Chengqian Palace."
“…”
"Look carefully in the palace and see which maids are of good character, honest and reliable."
"yes."
"As for Ran Xiaoyu—" Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Her head doesn't need to be counted in Yonghe Palace, nor in Chengqian Palace."
“…”
Xu Miaoyin looked up at him.
I understood it immediately.
Zhu Feng wanted to transfer Ran Xiaoyu from Yonghe Palace, but not to return her to Chengqian Palace to serve Zhu Chengxuan.
So, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you want Xiaoyu to serve the female official?"
Zhu Feng nodded: "Yeah."
"That's fine too. Xiaoyu and she are good sisters. They have a deep bond. Xiaoyu will definitely serve her more wholeheartedly than anyone else."
"Um."
Xu Miaoyin no longer asked about other personnel arrangements.
She had been a little hesitant about who to send to serve Si Nanyan. Now it seemed that Zhu Feng himself was considering this matter, so there was no need for her to say anything more.
Then, she whispered, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to discuss with the Emperor."
Zhu Feng took a sip of tea and looked at her: "What's the matter?"
"After the female official is canonized, which palace will she be placed in?"
“…”
"The Cining Palace is tranquil, the Jingren Palace is dignified, the Jingyang Palace is elegant, and the Yikun Palace is magnificent."
“…”
"If she is a noble concubine, it would be best for her to live in Yikun Palace."
She paused here.
"It's just that—Your Majesty, have you really decided to confer the title of Imperial Consort upon the female official?"
