Chapter 3420 Acting like a spoiled child
Nan Yan subconsciously asked, "How did you solve it?"
Zhu Feng paused for a moment, then said, "Why are you asking these questions?"
After saying that, without waiting for Nan Yan to speak, he pinched the empty cup with two fingers and shook it at Nan Yan, saying, "Go, bring me some more water."
Nan Yan could only take the cup, pour him some water herself, and then offer it to him. Zhu Feng took it but did not drink from it. Instead, he looked up at her and said, "Xinping—how have you been after being locked up for the past two days?"
Nan Yan asked, "How would I know?"
"You didn't go to see it?"
"Didn't the Emperor forbid anyone from seeing it?"
Zhu Feng choked at her words, and after a while he sneered and said, "I've never seen you listen to me so much."
Nan Yan said, "The Emperor has even imprisoned Xin Ping, how can I dare to be so bold?"
Hearing her deliberately making a resentful expression, Zhu Feng sneered and said, "So what if we lock her up? Will she obey discipline if we lock her up? I heard that she eats well and sleeps well in Yanchun Pavilion, and lives a very leisurely life!"
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
But looking at Zhu Feng again, he didn't seem to be really angry. It seemed that after these two days, his anger from that day had subsided.
In other words, it's not that I'm angry anymore.
But now that the problem of the hungry people looting food had been resolved, his mood naturally improved, and so his daughter's temper was not a big deal.
After all, it wasn't the first or second time that Xin Ping had acted recklessly, but this time he had run into a knife edge.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan walked up to him and said cautiously, "Then, Your Majesty, can you let her out?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and asked, "Is that girl convinced?"
Nan Yan laughed and said, "How can a child be convinced by just being imprisoned? We still need to reason with her, right? The Emperor has always been the best at reasoning with her. Now that the matter has been resolved and the Emperor has some free time, what can't be persuaded?"
"snort."
Zhu Feng snorted coldly, but immediately said, "Send someone to call her over."
Nan Yan was overjoyed and immediately called someone in. When the people below heard that Princess Xinping could be released, they were naturally very happy. Xiao Shunzi responded and immediately sent someone to rush to Yanchun Pavilion to pass on the message.
After a while, two young eunuchs led Princess Xinping in.
Although she was locked up for two days, Xinping did not look at all embarrassed after being punished. When she left Yanchun Pavilion, someone took her to take a shower and change her clothes before she came back. Her eyes were bright and her cheeks were rosy. She still looked pretty and lovely.
When they reached the door, Xiao Shunzi bent down and whispered to her, "Princess, please don't argue with your father this time, or you'll be imprisoned for more than just two days."
Xinping blinked, but nodded obediently.
Then, he entered the Yiku Palace.
As soon as she walked in, she felt a cool breeze, which made her relax. Although she had no worries about food and clothing in Yanchun Pavilion, it was not as comfortable as her own palace. It was not until this moment that she suddenly felt aggrieved. She had to stay in the small attic for the past two days, unable to go out to play, with no one to talk to and no one to give her an ice tray.
Thinking of this, my eyes turned red.
Zhu Feng sat in the chair in front, looking at her with a sullen face.
He walked over carefully, knelt down and saluted, and said softly, "Father, your son pays his respects to you, Father."
Zhu Feng looked down at her and said, "I've locked you up for two days. Do you realize your mistake?"
Xinping kowtowed before straightening up. Although she held her lips and kept silent, tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at Zhu Feng with tears in her eyes and suddenly burst into tears in grievance: "Father..."
Seeing his daughter like this, Zhu Feng's originally relaxed mood suddenly felt as if he was pricked by a needle. He wanted to get up and hug her, but in the end, he was embarrassed to do so. He turned his head to look at Nan Yan who was sitting next to him without moving, and coughed.
Nan Yan also glanced at him and immediately came to her senses.
He quickly stood up, picked up his daughter, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Okay, okay, why are you crying after I let you out?"
Hearing her say this, Xin Ping felt even more aggrieved. She simply raised her face and burst into tears, crying out, "Father... Wuuwuwu, Father!"
This time, he really stepped on Zhu Feng's weak spot and jumped sideways. Zhu Feng could no longer bear it and hurried over to squat down and hug his daughter. While patting her back to help her calm down, he said, "Don't cry, don't cry. What's wrong? Is it wrong for father to let you out?"
Xinping held back her lips and sobbed, "Father doesn't like me anymore."
Zhu Feng's face was gloomy: "Who said that?"
Xin Ping said, "My father beat me."
Zhu Feng asked, "Why don't I hit you if you're wrong? Don't you know you're wrong?"
Xinping sobbed and couldn't help but howl again, her mouth opened so wide that even her tongue was visible. Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng's anger faded. He simply picked her up and walked over to a chair, letting her sit on his lap. He wiped her tears and coaxed her, "Okay, okay, don't cry. I didn't hit you again, why are you crying? Father won't hit you anymore from now on - but on the condition that you don't mess with me again, do you understand?"
Xinping held her mouth and sobbed for a long time, then nodded gently.
Then she stretched out her arms to hug Zhu Feng's neck and buried her face in his shoulders.
Seeing her acting like a clingy cat, Nan Yan couldn't help but frown and said, "It's so hot, come down quickly."
Xinping did not move, and held Zhu Feng tightly, refusing to let go.
Nan Yan reached out and hit her: "Get down here!"
"Okay, okay,"
This time, it was Zhu Feng who softened up. He stretched out his hand to block her hand and said, "She just came out fine, why are you hitting her? Xinping, are you hungry? Can you ask the imperial kitchen to send some food over? Would you like something sweet?"
Xinping still buried her head in his shoulder, and nodded lightly twice after a long time.
Zhu Feng smiled and asked someone to pass on the message.
Nan Yan watched from the side, feeling both angry and amused, but she had no choice but to go with the father and son.
However, she never had the chance to ask how the matter was resolved. Two days later, Nan Yan asked De Lu to go out and inquire about it. He came back and told her, "The matter has indeed been resolved. I heard that the emperor even rewarded Lord Fan handsomely."
"I see."
Zhu Feng rarely rewards Jinyiwei members so generously. It seems that this matter was indeed handled very well. Nan Yan asked, "So, that batch of grain was robbed and now it has been recovered. How much is left? Has the Ministry of Revenue received any money?"
Having said that, Delu hesitated for a moment.
Nan Yan asked, "What's wrong?"
De Lu looked around, then stepped forward and said in a low voice, "My Lady, it seems that there is no record of that batch of grain being recovered."
