Chapter 120 I thought you were lost
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in surprise: "The Emperor is going to Yongzhou?"
"Yes, the decree has been sent to the Shangshutai."
"Well, when are we leaving?"
"This is the first time the Emperor has been on an inspection tour since ascending the throne, so he needs to be fully prepared. It'll take at least ten days or half a month."
"oh."
Nan Yan nodded gently, and someone next to her named Ye Zheng said to Nan Yan, "I'm leaving now. I'll talk to you later."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Nan Yan looked at his back, thoughtful.
Ye Zheng had something else to talk to her about. Could it be related to this inspection? However, Zhu Feng had just ascended the throne and was about to go on an inspection tour of Yongzhou. Thinking back to what he had said to her last night, Nan Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He is going to inspect, what is he inspecting?

The next day after a nap, Nan Yan found that the dressing table was a little messy. When she was tidying it up, she heard a noisy sound outside. She looked through the window and saw a riot of colors outside.
The Queen, Concubine Kang, Concubine Ning and others all came.
It was rare for Shou'an Palace to be so lively. Nan Yan was a little surprised and lay on the windowsill to watch.
Xia Yunting had obviously never experienced such a scene before. With so many people suddenly arriving, she hurried out to greet them and bowed in fear, "I pay my respects to the Empress, to Consort Kang, and to Consort Ning..."
Xu Miaoyin stepped forward, helped him up, and said with a smile, "No need to be so polite. I was dragged out for a walk by Concubine Kang today. I was tired when I got to your Shou'an Palace, so I came in for a cup of tea."
Wu Wan smiled and said, "Xia Zhaoyi, there must be a few cups of tea."
Xia Yunting said hurriedly: "Of course, please sit inside."
Having said that, he welcomed them all in.
When walking into the main hall of Shou'an Palace, Wu Wan glanced at Chunxi Hall on the other side with her almond-shaped eyes, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she turned and walked into the gate.
Everyone took their seats.
Fulan and Xi Que were busy for a while before they served them tea and snacks. Wu Wan took a sip and immediately said, "Hmm, this tea tastes pretty good."
Concubine An Gao Yurong beside her immediately said, "This seems to be the Longjing tea that the emperor gave me a while ago."
"Well, the rewards from the Emperor are naturally good things."
Wu Wan closed the lid of the tea bowl and said softly, "Just like this red coral bracelet, it's crystal clear and full, with a lustrous color. It's a good thing that can't be found anywhere else."
As she spoke, she raised her hand, and the red coral bracelet was hanging on her snow-white wrist.
Xia Yunting looked up, then looked at the queen and several others. Their round, snow-white wrists, like lotus roots, were all adorned with bright red bracelets, which looked particularly beautiful.
Gao Yurong seemed to have suddenly discovered something and asked, "Xia Zhaoyi, where is your bracelet?"
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on her wrist, and sure enough, it was empty.
Wu Wan sneered and said, "It seems that we all think this bracelet is good, but Xia Zhaoyi doesn't think so."
Xia Yunting stood up hurriedly: "How dare I."
"Otherwise, the Empress, I, and all my sisters are wearing the gifts given by the Emperor, but why are you the only one not wearing them? Could it be that—"
She hadn't finished her words, but Xia Yunting was already sweating with fear, and hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand, Concubine Kang. I just thought the emperor's reward was too precious, so I kept it as a treasure."
"Oh," Wu Wan smiled faintly, "I wish you had said it earlier."
“…”
"If you didn't wear it, I would have thought you had lost it."
Xia Yunting forced a smile and said, "How dare I? This is a gift from the Emperor."
After saying that, he turned around and told Fulan: "Go get it."
