Chapter 758: Imperial Inscription
Early the next morning, Ran Xiaoyu, Nian Qiu and the others were standing in the yard, looking towards the room from afar.
Aunt Tongyun came over and said with a smile, "Not so early."
Nian Qiu asked hurriedly, "Aunt, did the Emperor really come over last night? I was worried that the Emperor was so angry with the Empress yesterday, and I was afraid that the Empress would fall out of favor."
"Falling from favor?"
Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing by, said, "How is that possible?" as if she had heard something out of the ordinary.
Aunt Tongyun smiled and said, "Anyway, what we know is that the Imperial Concubine is still favored."
"So, when do we go in to serve?"
"Wait until they yell at you. If you go in now, the Emperor might scold you."
"Why."
Everyone couldn't go in or leave, so they could only wait far away in the yard.
The two people in the room were actually awake at this time, but because they had been too tense in the past few days, they were now a little relaxed and felt a little lazy, leaning against the head of the bed.
Nan Yan nestled comfortably in Zhu Feng's arms.
One hand was restlessly fiddling with the buttons on his chest.
Zhu Feng watched her unbuttoning, buttoning, buttoning, and unbuttoning her clothes until the threads were loose. He reached out and grabbed her hand to stop her from being bored.
At this moment, Nan Yan remembered something and looked up and asked him: "Your Majesty, that stone tablet——"
"Um?"
"Was that stone tablet really dug out accidentally that day?"
“…”
Zhu Feng looked down at her for a while.
The two of them exchanged glances, but he said nothing. He was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "It's time to get up. It's getting late. I need to take you out later to do something."
When she heard that he was going to take her out, Nan Yan didn't ask any questions and hurriedly got up with him.
Soon, Ran Xiaoyu and the others came in to serve them. The two of them washed up and then sat together to have breakfast.
After a while, Xiao Shunzi came over and said, "Your Majesty, the carriage is ready."
"Um."
Zhu Feng rinsed his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said, "Let's go, follow me out."
"yes."
Nan Yan followed him out of Prince Yan's Mansion and got into a carriage.
This time, there were not as many people and horses as before. He only brought a few followers and went to the west of the city.
Nan Yan knew that this time the construction of Beiping City was going from west to east.
Because the city is surrounded by mountains on the west, there is not much space for expansion. So after connecting the city walls on this side, more things to do are to build houses and move people here.
At this time, it has begun to take shape.
The carriage stopped.
Zhu Feng got off the carriage first, then reached out and carried Nan Yan down. After he stood still, he looked up and Nan Yan was startled.
Their carriage stopped on a wide and flat road.
And in front of us, there is a tall archway gate.
However, there is no plaque on the gate of the archway, and it is still empty.
Nan Yan looked at it and felt a little strange, but seemed to understand something in her heart. Zhu Feng looked around and seemed to be very satisfied with the environment here.
Then he said, "Come on, follow me in and take a look."
Nan Yan nodded, and held his hand. The two of them walked slowly along the wide road. After turning a corner, they saw what was ahead.
It's a village.
The roads are interconnected and the houses are well-built. Although the houses are simply built, it can be seen that they are very new. It is a newly built village.
here it is--
Nan Yan turned to look at Zhu Feng. At this moment, Xiao Shunzi ran over and said, "Your Majesty, they are all here."
Zhu Feng nodded: "Bring them here."
The two men stood at the entrance of the village. After a while, they heard footsteps coming from the front, as well as some puzzled whispers. A large group of people were walking towards them.
At first glance, Nan Yan saw the person walking in front and leading the way.
It is Shi Twenty-One.
Behind him was his wife, holding little Stone, whose eyes were wide open and full of fear.
All around are the villagers.
They are people from Jufu Village, they all came!
Nan Yan said softly: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, because by then, Shi Eryi and the others had already seen them. They had just been released from prison and were brought here in a state of panic, fearing they were going to be beheaded.
But now, he saw a newly built village, and the emperor and the concubine were standing in front.
They hurried over and knelt at their feet.
"Greetings to the Emperor! Greetings to the Imperial Concubine!"
Zhu Feng looked down at them, then said calmly, "Stand up."
Shi Eryi then stood up cautiously and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty brought me here today, is it——"
Zhu Feng said, "Let you go home."
“…”
Everyone opened their eyes wide in surprise.
Zhu Feng said: "From now on, you will live here."
“…”
No one spoke.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, as if they couldn't believe what they saw, let alone what they heard.
They originally thought that if they offended the emperor, they would be dead.
How could it be that after being released, they were allowed to live here?
Shi Eryi stammered, "This, this is——"
Zhu Feng glanced at them and said, "This is your home."
“…”
"The new Giant Village."
These people could hardly believe their ears. They looked at the houses around them and the wide and flat roads, their faces flushed with excitement and they were speechless.
Some elderly people, however, tremblingly said, "We are all people with little luck and short life. How can we live in such a good place?"
"Yeah, how can we deserve to live in such a nice place."
…
Listening to these people's words, Nan Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Also sad.
After suffering so many years of grievances and repression, they even feel uneasy when happiness comes.
One can imagine how cautious they have been over the years.
Isn’t this the case for most ordinary people?
Zhu Feng also heard these words. He sighed and said coldly, "I know you are worried that you will be disliked or even driven away. So -"
He clapped his hands.
Ye Zheng, who was standing aside, hurriedly waved to the back. Everyone looked over there and saw several people walking out of the village.
In their hands, they were holding a large plaque.
On it were three familiar characters:
Jufu Village.
The villagers just stared in a daze, but Nan Yan was immediately shocked when she saw those three words.
She had been with Zhu Feng for such a long time and had once been his court lady, so she was very familiar with his handwriting.
The three words "Jufu Village" were written by him personally!
