Chapter 2323: She has a bad temper?
The emperor has really changed a lot compared to when he first ascended the throne.
Thinking of this, he found himself funny again.
Whether the emperor changes or not, that is the royal family's business. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, all I have to do is to carry out every task assigned by the emperor.
Moreover, since I didn't do my job well this time, it was a blessing in disguise that His Majesty the Emperor didn't get angry and chop off my head.
He reached out, touched his neck, and then walked into the snow.
Zhu Feng was still sitting in the imperial study.
Recalling what Fang Buyuan had just said, and looking at the memorial that Gu Tingqiu had sent him, he thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Yufu."
Eunuch Yu, who had been standing quietly in the corner, stepped forward immediately.
"What are your Majesty's orders?"
"Send someone to bring Xu Shifeng and Ye Zheng into the palace."
"yes."

Ever since that day, when the emperor took a rare break from his busy schedule and went to the palace to spend a relaxing day with the imperial concubine, the princess, and the King of Wei, he did not show up again for several days.
Nan Yan knew that he would definitely be busy with his own things.
After that night, she made some special inquiries and heard that after the emperor met with his uncle Gu Tingqiu and Jinyiwei commander Fang Buyuan in the imperial study, he ordered people to call Xu Shifeng and Ye Zheng into the palace overnight.
It is said that the three of them talked all night long.
I don’t know what’s so important.
Nan Yan was also worried that her presence would disturb him, so unlike other concubines, she did not bring her own stewed supplements to the imperial study every few days to curry his favor.
However, he would call Eunuch Yu and Xiao Shunzi over from time to time to ask about the emperor's diet and sleep, and also instruct them to encourage the emperor to rest more.
And so, another half a month passed.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year was just two days away, she had been concentrating on drawing up the play list and menu for New Year's Eve with Concubine Yi. While they were talking, Concubine Shun Xinqing arrived.
She stepped forward and bowed to Nan Yan: "Greetings, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Sister, please get up quickly."
Concubine Yi also stood up and saluted her. After everyone greeted each other, Nan Yan asked someone to give Concubine Shun a seat, and then said with a smile: "It's so cold, why did you think of coming to visit me here?"
Concubine Shun said, "It's just cold, and it's boring staying in the palace alone. I thought the Queen and Concubine Yi were busy with the New Year's preparations these past two days, so I came to see if I could help."
Nan Yan said, "The menu is ready, but we haven't decided on the playlist yet."
"oh?"
"I wonder what kind of operas His Majesty likes to listen to. Speaking of which, I have been serving His Majesty in the palace for so many years, but I rarely see him listen to operas."
Concubine Shun nodded and said with a wry smile, "When the emperor was young, he was willing to listen to operas, but later, he was scolded by the late emperor for listening to operas. After that, he didn't like it much anymore."
"oh?"
When I heard this, it seemed that the shadow of my childhood came back again.
Nan Yan said, "Sister has served the emperor the longest. Do you know what kind of drama the emperor likes?"
Concubine Yi whispered, "Our emperor thinks about his grand ambitions every day, so I'm afraid he also likes to watch some martial arts dramas."
Concubine Shun smiled and said, "Just the opposite."
"ah?"
"ah?"
Nan Yan and Li Pan'er were both stunned and looked at her in astonishment. Concubine Shun coughed lightly and whispered, "I'm only telling you this, don't spread it. When the emperor was a child, he actually liked to watch some lingering dramas, such as the Palace of Eternal Life and Lazy Eyebrows."
“…”
Concubine Shun whispered, "Especially when they sang the part where Concubine Yang died at Maweiyi, he cried so hard."
"ah?"
Nan Yan couldn't believe her ears.
I can’t believe that Zhu Feng, who is so big and strong, actually likes to listen to such operas.
Moreover, I will cry for the characters in the play.
Although that was just something that happened when he was a child, but when he thought about how a person like Zhu Feng, with such a character, would actually cry for Concubine Yang's death at Maweiyi, he somehow found it a little funny.
I also think he's kind of cute.
Nan Yan covered her mouth and laughed softly.
Concubine Yi on the side was also trying to hold back her laughter and kept wiping the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
Shun Fei repeatedly said, "Your Majesty, Sister Yi Fei, please do not let the Emperor know about this. It was because he cried for the characters in the play that the late Emperor was furious and scolded him. After that, he never listened to opera again."
“…”
"Actually, this time, I heard that the emperor allowed the opera troupe to perform in the palace. I think it's quite fresh."
As he spoke, he looked at Nan Yan and said with a smile, "It's all thanks to the Empress."
"Well……"
Nan Yan smiled awkwardly.
She hadn't known about this past relationship; if she had, she wouldn't have been so tactless as to ask for permission. However, since Zhu Feng had agreed to her request, it was clear that he had forgotten the past and had let it go.
There is no need to be so cautious.
However, after thinking about it again, she crossed out the three words "Changsheng Palace" on the playbill.
Since this play was an unpleasant memory for Zhu Feng, even if he no longer remembered it, she would not mention it again.
Concubine Shun looked at it and nodded slightly.
He smiled and said, "Actually, during the New Year, we should listen to some more lively and festive plays to cheer everyone up and not let the emperor be so depressed all the time."
Nan Yan said, "That's right."
So the three of them discussed again and chose two more lively plays.
Concubine Shun smiled and said, "I stay in the Yanxi Palace every day. It's so lonely and there's no one to talk to. I just look forward to watching a few lively plays during the New Year."
Nan Yan put away the playbill and turned to look at her, saying in surprise, "Sister, isn't Concubine Shen still living in the palace?"
“…”
"Why, she doesn't usually talk to her sister?"
“…”
"still,"
Nan Yan's eyes flickered slightly when she said this: "She has a bad temper?"
When Concubine Shun heard this, she was afraid that she would blame Chen Lianxiang. After all, Nanyan was now the head of the concubines in the harem, and punishing a concubine was just a matter of words. She hurriedly said, "No, she is not bad-tempered. It's just that Concubine Shen likes quietness, even quieter than me. She doesn't go out much on weekdays, so it's deserted."
"……oh?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows.
She recalled what Chen Lianxiang had done before. On the surface, she seemed to be a quiet and peaceful person. If she hadn't accidentally seen that scene, she probably wouldn't have suspected her until now.
But once he caught her eye, she had to be careful.
So she smiled and said, "If that's the case, then please come this way more often. I'm busy taking care of that little devil Xinping every day, and I'm a little overwhelmed."
Concubine Shun smiled and said, "Princess Xinping is well-behaved and lovely, Your Majesty, please don't say that."
The three of them were talking and laughing when suddenly, Xiao Shunzi's voice rang out at the door.
"The Emperor has arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Feng walked in with an unhappy look on his face.
