Chapter 1965 Meet Again
"The Emperor is back!"
Upon hearing the news, Nan Yan stood up from the stone bench in surprise. Aunt Tongyun beside her also smiled and hurriedly reached out to support her.
"My lady, be careful, you might get dizzy if you get too anxious."
Nan Yan didn't care about this. She just watched Tingfu run in and kowtow to her. She raised her hand hastily and said, "Don't be so polite. Come on, tell me, is the emperor back?"
"Yes, my lady."
Tingfu naturally knew what his wife had been looking forward to these past two days, so he rushed over to report the news as soon as he got the news. He laughed breathlessly and said, "Just now, someone came to report it on horseback."
“…”
"The Emperor's troops have already entered Shazhouwei and will soon return to the Duwei Mansion."
“That’s great!”
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Tong Yun, help me out quickly."
Aunt Tongyun was also happy. She handed the dishes to Tingfu and asked him to take them away. Then she helped Nanyan walk two steps, turned back to get a piece of clothing for her and put it on her shoulders, then slowly walked out.
They walked from the inner courtyard to the gate. Although the distance was not long, they walked very slowly because they were concerned about Nan Yan's health. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they heard the noisy sound of carriages and horses outside.
Already here!
Yang Dai led everyone to welcome the emperor at the door. When they saw the imperial concubine coming out, they all knelt on the ground.
Nan Yan didn't care about them and walked straight to the steps. She glanced at the troops that had just stopped at the door of the Duwei Mansion and was stunned.
What? There’s an extra carriage?
She remembered that when Zhu Feng and his companions went there, there was no carriage, and even he himself rode a horse.
But now, she did not see Zhu Feng among the horsemen.
Could it be that Zhu Feng came back in a carriage?
She felt a little strange. Knowing Zhu Feng's temper, he would never take a car if he could ride a horse. What's more, there was no carriage when they went there, so how could there be an extra car for no reason?
Could it be that something really happened?
Or, is he injured?
At this moment, countless thoughts emerged in her mind. Nan Yan took a step forward worriedly, looking anxiously at the curtain that was still swaying after the carriage stopped.
At this moment, a hand reached out and lifted the curtain.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar and agile figure jumped down from the carriage and walked in front of her.
“……!”
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Just now, she even had wild thoughts that Zhu Feng might have met with an accident and was injured and unable to walk, so he came back in a carriage. But when she saw that he was now intact and still agile, her heart immediately fell back.
She let out a long sigh.
"emperor……"
Zhu Feng looked down at her, a happy smile on his face, and said, "Why are you standing in the wind?"
“…”
"Aren't you cold?"
The weather is obviously very good today. Even though the sun is about to set, there is still some warmth left in the blood-red sunlight.
Why is it cold?
Nan Yan looked at him with a smile: "I'm not cold."
As he said this, he was about to kneel down.
Zhu Feng stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist, dragging her up and pulling her to his side.
He whispered, "Stand still for me."
“…”
Nan Yan couldn't help laughing.
She also knew that Zhu Feng naturally didn't want to let her get up and kneel with her belly bulging, but the rules still had to be followed. Especially when she saw that he didn't seem to have anything wrong, she finally felt relieved.
Hold his hand with your backhand.
"Your Majesty, everything goes well—"
Before he could finish his question, he saw another person getting off the carriage that Zhu Feng had jumped off.
Nan Yan was stunned.
"Who are you--"
Xue Yun had been jolted around in the carriage for a whole day, especially since she and Zhu Feng were in such a small and cramped space. She curled up as much as possible, not daring to speak or even breathe loudly. It was truly a torture.
Especially the torment in her heart.
When the carriage stopped, her whole body was almost stiff. As soon as she stepped on the ground, she almost fell over. Fortunately, Yun Xiang, who was following the carriage, immediately came forward and supported her.
"Young Master!"
Xue Yun barely managed to stand steady, raised his head, and met Nan Yan's astonished eyes.
She smiled bitterly, took a step forward, and kowtowed to Nan Yan.
"This humble servant pays homage to the Imperial Concubine."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her and was unresponsive for a moment.
Xue Yun?
Of course she remembered the "eldest son" of the Xue family. After all, she had helped them, and his background and identity were so special that it was hard for her to forget him.
But she never expected to see her here.
She, why is she with Zhu Feng?
And, is it coming back in the same carriage?
Nan Yan hurriedly turned her head to look at Zhu Feng, but saw that in the setting sun, Zhu Feng's eyes flickered slightly, as if something was hidden in the dim light.
He said, "Do you still remember? Master Xue Yun?"
Nan Yan was silent for a moment.
"Remember."
“…”
"Of course I remember."
Nan Yan spoke with a complicated expression, looking at him and then at Xue Yun, full of doubts, but not knowing who to ask.
After a long time, she took a step forward and raised her hand towards Xue Yun: "Master Xue, please stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xue Yun slowly stood up and looked up at her again.
Under normal circumstances, a young man who looked directly at the imperial concubine's face like this would be punished. Even at this moment, when the imperial concubine brought people to the gate of the Duwei Mansion to welcome the emperor, the officials around her all lowered their heads to avoid suspicion.
But Xue Yun didn't know this.
She also didn't understand the taboos in the palace.
She just looked at the imperial concubine in the sunset. The last time they met, they were busy talking about business and seeing patients, and they didn't look at her carefully. Now she looked so graceful and elegant. Even though she was only wearing a casual dress and standing next to the emperor, she had a feeling of being out of this world.
Her appearance is not very beautiful, but she is seven parts elegant and three parts cold.
And in those clear eyes, there is hidden wisdom and determination.
Sure enough, the imperial concubine is the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine is different from these mortals.
Thinking of this, Xue Yun laughed to himself for some reason.
So, he lowered his head again.
Although it was only a brief moment when the two looked at each other and sized each other up, Nan Yan seemed to feel something in her heart.
The happy and relaxed mood that she had felt after seeing Zhu Feng gradually faded at this moment.
The atmosphere was somewhat stagnant at this moment.
In the end, it was Nan Yan who spoke first. After all, this was her territory. She smiled and said, "When I saw you before, you were staying in seclusion in the East and West Halls. Why did you come to Shazhouwei this time?"
“…”
Xue Yun didn't say anything for a moment.
It was Zhu Feng who took a step forward.
He reached out and gently put his arm around Nan Yan's shoulders, then said, "This time, he came to Shazhouwei with me. Let's meet his sister first."
“…”
"There's something else. Let's talk about it later."
