Chapter 355 Nan Yan has a bright future, don’t let her go
Jian Ruocheng sat aside and saw Nan Yan's face turn pale for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Father, stop talking."
“That’s what it is.”
Jian Tongguang said seriously, "Look, if it weren't for being in the palace, would you have been in so much trouble? A few days ago, you were thrown into prison, suffered so much injustice, and then you got sick and injured."
“…”
"If the Emperor had listened to me and granted you marriage, this wouldn't have happened."
“…”
"You two—"
Nan Yan's face suddenly turned red all the way to her neck.
Jian Ruocheng hurriedly said, "Father!"
His tone was a little harsh, interrupting Jian Tongguang's endless chatter.
Although the atmosphere in the Jian family was very harmonious, it was a scholarly family after all, with respect to seniority, and no one ever interrupted Jian Tongguang when he was speaking.
He was stunned himself, frowned and looked at Jian Ruocheng.
Jian Ruocheng's face also turned slightly pale. He glanced at Nan Yan's red cheeks and ear tips from the corner of his eyes, and hurriedly said to Jian Tongguang, "Father, please forgive me."
“…”
"However, father, please don't mention this matter again."
“…”
"Nan Yan has a bright future. Father, please don't let her down."
When he said this, everyone at the table was stunned for a moment, even Nan Yan looked up at him in confusion.
A bright future?
What does he mean by this?
Jian Tongguang also said, "Nan Yan's bright future? What bright future?"
“…”
Seeing everyone looking at him with confusion, Jian Ruocheng took a deep breath and said, "Let's eat."
After saying that, he picked up the bowl.
Everyone also felt that he seemed to have something to hide, and the understanding Madam Jiahe immediately said, "Yes, the food is almost cold, everyone, please eat quickly."
After hearing what she said, everyone stopped asking questions and picked up the bowls and chopsticks in front of them and started eating.
As for Nan Yan, as a guest, she follows the host's wishes, so she naturally followed them.
However, her eyes, when she looked at Jian Ruocheng from time to time, were also full of inquiry.
Jian Ruocheng kept his head down and did not look at her.
At this moment, he remembered what happened before he left the palace.
I have been going out early and coming back late every day these days. Today, my father finally sent someone to the palace to ask for leave for me. Although the emperor looked unhappy, he finally agreed.
He sent the last few transcribed documents to the Secretariat and then prepared to go home.
As a result, as soon as I walked to the gate, I heard the conversation between Ye Zheng and He Yi coming from inside.
Ye Zheng said, "I thought Nan Yan would definitely be canonized this time."
Upon hearing this, he subconsciously stopped.
By this time, the sun had already set, and only a candlelight remained in the Secretariat. Jian Ruocheng could see He Yi's handsome silhouette projected onto the wall. He smiled faintly, "How could it be that easy?"
"But, hasn't the Emperor already conferred the title of Du Jie—oh, now it should be Du Xianshi."
“…”
"Isn't that paving the way for Nan Yan?"
“…”
"Now, isn't it just right to destroy her again?"
He Yi finished writing a document, blew away the ink stain, then shook his head and laughed, "You, you've been with the emperor for so many years, and you haven't made any progress at all."
Jian Ruocheng took a step forward and saw Ye Zheng sitting on the chair opposite Heyi with his legs crossed in a very nonchalant manner.
He said, "I haven't made any progress, but you have. So tell me, why didn't the Emperor confer the title of Emperor on Nan Yan?"
“…”
"Both of them, are like that, tsk tsk."
