Chapter 2326 I won’t raise a tiger to cause trouble, right?
Zhu Feng said, "My surname is Chen."
When Nan Yan heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
Zhu Feng was originally teasing Xiao Xiaoping in his arms, but when he sensed the change in her aura, he looked up at her: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Well……"
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment before saying, "If I remember correctly, he should be Concubine Shen's father."
"Concubine Shen? Is she the one who sent someone to Sishan Gate to take care of the nobles' wives last time?"
"Yes. Her name is Chen Lianxiang."
“…”
Zhu Feng let out a deep breath and said nothing.
Before, during the funeral of the late Empress, Nan Yan had mentioned this Concubine Shen to him. When Nan Yan was in poor health and Concubine Shun also fell ill, and no one cared about the princes and ladies who were mourning at Sishan Gate, it was she who secretly reminded Ruan Mei, who was still Concubine Xi at the time, to send someone to take care of the people over there.
Moreover, he acts cautiously and never seeks credit.
Let him notice this person as well.
However, she didn't expect that within two days, her people started a big fight with Xipin's people at Sishan Gate. In the end, Xipin was demoted, and although the imperial concubine didn't punish her, Zhu Feng didn't care much about her anymore.
But I didn't expect——
He said, "Are you remembering correctly?"
Nan Yan nodded and said, "Although she entered the palace when I accompanied the Emperor on his inspection tour of the northwest, I have the authority to assist in the management of the six palaces, so I looked at the list of each of them. Indeed, she is the daughter of the Feng'an County Magistrate."
Zhu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "No wonder. Before she was in Sishan Sect, she only knew how to do things."
“…”
“So, there is such a father.”
“…”
"This is a family heirloom."
At this time, Nan Yan felt a little regretful about what she had just said about rewarding the county magistrate.
Although she did not have the power to make decisions, and if an official really did something beneficial to the court, even if he had a grudge against her, she could not prevent him from receiving the reward.
but--
I feel a little uncomfortable.
What Chen Lianxiang had done before—of course, now it seemed that nothing had offended her openly, so even if she really wanted to punish her, she had no excuse—still left a thorn in Nan Yan's heart.
It doesn't hurt or itch on normal days, but when it is touched, a vague feeling of uneasiness comes over me.
She murmured in her heart: If I give her this opportunity, I won’t be raising a tiger to cause trouble in the future, right?
But the words have already been spoken.
She thought for a moment and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, will Your Majesty reward her?"
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about this matter for now. Let's wait until her father comes out."
"yes."
After talking to her so much, Zhu Feng's mood improved a little. With his daughter in his arms, he looked content with having a daughter. Nan Yan smiled at him.
Let’s talk about those annoying things in the future.
After all, she is now a noble concubine in the harem, above everyone else. She is not worried that she won't be able to control a mere concubine.
Then he said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry recently. The Jinyiwei are efficient and will definitely be able to pass on the emperor's order and release County Magistrate Shen."
Zhu Feng nodded: "Yeah."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "The New Year is coming in two days, and Your Majesty should be happy too. When the time comes, take the sisters in the harem to watch the play together. Your Majesty must not have such a fierce face, it will scare people."
After hearing this, Zhu Feng looked up at her.
Before he could say anything, Xin Ping's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Let's watch the show!"
Zhu Feng lowered his head, looked at his daughter, and said with a smile, "Well, let's watch the show. Are you enjoying it?"
"happy!"
Xinping clapped his hands vigorously, his tender palms turning red, and shouted, "Xinping wants to see Sun Wukong!"
"Okay, let me show you Sun Xingzhe."
"And somersaults."
"Okay, let Sun Xingzhe do a somersault for you."
As he responded, he looked up at Nan Yan in surprise: "She hasn't seen a play before, so how does she know about Sun Wukong and somersaults?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Your Majesty has forgotten. Last year... Now that I think about it, it was almost the year before last. During the winter solstice, Your Majesty took my concubine, the Prince of Wei, and her out shopping together."
"Um."
"When they were out playing, they saw opera singers on the side of the road. After they came back, she couldn't stop thinking about it."
"I see."
Zhu Feng listened, looked down at his daughter, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for you. It's been so long, and you still haven't seen a complete play."
Xinping pursed his lips and nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Okay, when the time comes, let them sing Havoc in Heaven for you."
"OK!"
I was so calm and happy that I clapped my hands.
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng laughed with joy. Only Nan Yan hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, Havoc in Heaven... is that too noisy? What I mean is, even though we can listen to opera during this New Year, we shouldn't listen to anything too noisy."
Zhu Feng thought about it and said, "Never mind. It's Chinese New Year after all, so I'll just give in to her for once."
“…”
"Let's make everyone happy too."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan could only agree: "Okay."
After Zhu Feng left, she took the playbill and added "Havoc in Heaven" to it.
After finishing writing, she put the playbill next to her, but her hand rested on the edge of the table. She remained motionless for a long time, with only a slight frown on her face, as if she was concentrating on thinking about something.
At this time, Ran Xiaoyu walked in.
Seeing that her expression was not right, he whispered, "My Lady?"
Nan Yan looked up at her: "What's wrong?"
Ran Xiaoyu asked, "What are you thinking about, Madam? Why are you so lost in thought?"
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy."
"What's going on?"
Nan Yan said, "That day, in our palace, the Emperor and the Prince of Wei were discussing how to deal with the mulberry farmers' unrest. As soon as they finished discussing it, the magistrate of Feng'an County acted accordingly."
"oh?"
Ran Xiaoyu asked, "Did he receive an imperial edict?"
"No, at that time, the imperial edict had not yet been issued."
"Ah? So, the ideas and actions of the Feng'an County Magistrate coincide with those of the Emperor and the King of Wei."
Nan Yan nodded and said, "If this is to be said of guessing the will of the emperor, then he can be considered the best person at guessing the will of the emperor that I have seen in all these years."
"So, what is your Majesty thinking about?"
"have no idea,"
Nan Yan thought about it, shook her head again, frowned and said: "I don't know why, but I always feel a little depressed and uncomfortable in my heart."
"Could it be that Your Majesty suspects that he is not trying to guess the emperor's intentions, but rather trying to gather information about the emperor, or rather, information from within the palace?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan frowned again.
Then he said, "Maybe, I do have this worry, but it's impossible."
