Chapter 1678 The Emperor is not obedient
Xu Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "If you don't ask, how do you know if others are willing?"
“…”
“…”
The two young men knew each other for a while without saying a word, but their eyes seemed to convey a lot.
After a long while, Zhu Chengxuan seemed to understand something.
In fact, he also vaguely understood it.
Especially after meeting Gu Qiqing and having only her in his heart and eyes, he felt something more and more. However, because the imperial concubine followed his father on his tour, they never had the chance to meet again.
His mother took him home to visit her parents and specially introduced him to Xu Xiaoxiao.
Today, Xu Xiaoxiao was allowed to enter the palace again.
And let him come and accompany us.
He understood it even more clearly.
However, he overlooked one thing. No matter what he thought or what his mother thought, they all forgot that Xu Xiaoxiao...she was a living person and she also had her own thoughts.
And now, her ideas seemed to emerge.
He let out a long sigh.
However, he pointed to a small path on the other side and said, "There's beautiful scenery over there. I'll take you there to see it."
“……!”
This time, it was Xu Xiaoxiao who looked at him with wide eyes in surprise.
She said, "Your Highness? Do you really want to accompany me around this courtyard?"
Zhu Chengxuan glanced at her.
Then he smiled and said, "Today is your first time to come to the palace to play. It is reasonable for me, as your brother, to accompany you around."
“…”
"That way, even if I really need someone to help me cover up a lie in the future, I'll still have this favor and it will be easier to talk to them."
“…”
"Isn't it?"
“…”
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.
She laughed and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Your Highness."
"No need to bother, let's go."
So the two young men walked together along the small path next to them.

Nan Yan slept for most of the day with a thin blanket in her arms. When she woke up, it was already past lunch time.
Tingfu was standing guard at the door, stretching his neck from time to time to take a look.
Nan Yan stretched and stood up.
Tingfu came in immediately: "My lady, did you sleep well?"
"Is it okay?"
She rubbed her eyes. Perhaps because she had slept too long, or perhaps because she was hungry, she felt a little weak, so she asked, "What time is it?"
"It's already past noon."
"Huh? I slept for so long? No wonder I'm hungry."
"The kitchen has come to ask several times, and I asked them to keep the food hot."
"Well, let them bring it up."
"yes."
After hearing this, Tingfu immediately turned around and ran out, but just as he reached the door, he heard Nanyan say, "Wait a moment, come back."
He hurried back and asked, "What instructions does the Queen have?"
"Where's the Emperor? Is he up yet?"
"Rise up,"
Speaking of this, Ting Fudu sighed softly and said, "I just passed by the study and heard Eunuch Shun still complaining that the emperor didn't sleep well and didn't eat lunch. He was worried that his body couldn't hold on."
"oh?"
When Nan Yan heard this, she frowned.
She thought for a moment and said, "I'll go over and take a look. Tell the kitchen to send the things directly to the emperor's study."
"yes."
Tingfu ran away in a hurry.
Nan Yan got up, tidied herself up a bit, and looked at the weather outside. Because it had snowed, the sun was still shining. It was noon, so she only wore a coat and went to the study.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Xiao Shunzi standing there with a frown and a worried look on his face.
Seeing her was like a drowning man seeing a straw.
"Your Majesty! This servant pays homage to the Imperial Concubine!"
Nan Yan walked over, glanced at the half-open door, and said, "Your Majesty hasn't eaten yet?"
"That's right, I'm worried about this."
“…”
"It's good that the Empress is here. The Emperor only listens to the Empress."
Nan Yan laughed at what he said.
But after laughing, there was a hint of gloom in his eyes, and he only said: "I will go in and take a look first."
"yes."
Xiao Shunzi went to report for a while, and soon, Nan Yan walked into the study.
Sure enough, I saw Zhu Feng sitting in the chair.
Because he slept for a while before dawn, and his energy was better than that of ordinary people, he did not look tired. However, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows were deeply engraved even without frowning.
Obviously, there has been no relaxation.
Nan Yan walked over and saluted him. Zhu Feng immediately asked, "Why are you here?"
Nan Yan walked up to him and said, "I heard that the emperor is not obedient."
“…”
Hearing this, Zhu Feng's originally deep thoughts were suddenly disrupted.
I almost couldn't help laughing.
You know, because of his status and position, when he grew up a little, he had a gloomy temperament and not many people spoke to him like this. Now that he has become the supreme emperor, no one dares to criticize him like this.
This little girl——
But, instead of being angry, he was amused and looked at her: "I'm not obedient? How am I not obedient?"
Nan Yan said seriously, "Even children know that they should eat three meals a day, how come the emperor doesn't know that?"
“…”
"We need someone to urge us."
“…”
"I won't even bother urging you to do anything."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng understood what she meant. Just then, someone from the Imperial Kitchen came over with food boxes. However, even though it was the Imperial Concubine's order, this was the Emperor's study after all, so they didn't dare to rush in. They could only cautiously ask Xiao Shunzi at the door.
Hearing the sound, Zhu Feng said, "Okay, if you urge it, it will move."
After saying that, he said directly to the outside: "Come in."
Someone from the imperial kitchen came in hurriedly.
Xiao Shunzi also felt relieved and hurriedly placed the food on the other side of the table. Knowing that the food would be sent to the emperor, the imperial kitchen specially added two dishes, a plate of fragrant roasted beef elbow and half a sweet-scented osmanthus duck.
Zhu Feng's appetite was whetted by Nan Yan's teasing.
He picked up the bowl and ate most of the pork elbow.
He also asked Nan Yan: "Don't you want to eat some?"
Nan Yan looked at the big elbow that was greasy. The bones were soft and the meat was crispy, especially the bright red and soft skin that melted in the mouth. It was her favorite.
But today, I have no appetite.
She shook her head: "Too greasy."
Zhu Feng looked at her with amusement: "You still feel tired of it?"
Nan Yan glared at him and said, "I am also a lady from a wealthy family, okay? Don't act like I eat lard rice every meal."
The two of them chatted and laughed, and the meal was finished quickly.
Moreover, it was swept away like a whirlwind.
There was nothing left in the dishes.
After eating, without waiting for Zhu Feng to return to the table, Nan Yan said again: "Your Majesty, please accompany me for a walk."
Zhu Feng looked up at her.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Didn't the Emperor want to go out for a walk yesterday?"
