Chapter 167 A Wonderful Person Like Miss Nanyan
The maids smiled and said, "Of course it's Master Tong."
"Master Tong?" Nan Yan frowned slightly. "Mrs. Tong's brother, Master Tong Jie?"
"Exactly."
"He told us to serve the lady-in-waiting well and if she needs anything, just tell her."
“…”
Nan Yan didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just waved her hand, and the maids left her room.
Tong Jie, that man actually let these maids serve him again?
Why did he do this? Could it be that as a slave, what was there to please others?
She didn't quite understand, but she had been sleeping on an empty stomach all day, and she was so hungry that she couldn't think clearly, so she simply sat down to eat and wait until she was full before talking.
After a satisfying meal and a full drink, it was already dark when a loud noise could be heard outside. Nan Yan inquired and learned that the Emperor had been out for an outing with Prince Jing during the day and had just returned. A short while later, the sound of drums and music could be heard again.
Tonight, Prince Jing’s Mansion held another grand banquet.
Nan Yan stood at the door, looking at the brightly lit front yard, the solemnity between her brows deepened.
That night, the drums and music continued until very late, and Nan Yan slept soundly. When she woke up the next morning, the maids came to help her get up and wash.
Someone does everything for you, and all you have to do is sit back and enjoy. It feels really good.
However, the uneasiness in my heart is still slowly growing.
After breakfast, she was about to go out when she saw a figure walking in from outside.
"Miss Nanyan."
Looking up, it was Tong Jie.
Nan Yan hurriedly said politely, "Mr. Tong."
Tong Jie had changed into a bright green gown today, paired with a jade-colored belt. The jade hairpin on his head made him look particularly elegant. He walked in and said with a smile, "Are you feeling comfortable living here?"
Nan Yan immediately said, "I was just about to thank Master Tong for sending someone to serve me."
“That’s what should be done.”
"But after thinking about it, I think I should live with everyone else so I don't have to have people serving me."
Tong Jie's expression changed slightly when he heard this. "Why? Did they do something wrong?"
"No, it's just that I am just a servant beside the emperor and I am not worthy of such service."
“…”
Tong Jie looked at her for a moment, then smiled and said, "Miss Nanyan, even though you're a court lady serving as a treasure officer to the Emperor, for a wonderful person like you, you deserve all the best things in the world. How can you say you don't deserve them?"
Although his words were a compliment, for some reason, they had an indescribable taste.
Before Nan Yan could say anything, Tong Jie said, "Miss Nan Yan, please don't refuse."
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, and finally said softly: "Okay."
Tong Jie immediately smiled and said, "By the way, where is Miss Nan Yan going now?"
"I want to go see the emperor."
"It just so happens that I also need to go see my brother-in-law to report an important matter. Let's go together."
"OK."
Nan Yan nodded and went out with him, but as soon as she went out, she was dazzled by the dazzling sunlight. She subconsciously reached out to hold the door frame, but a hand reached out from the side and grabbed her hand.
"Miss Nanyan, be careful."
That hot and sweaty feeling came again. Nan Yan turned around and saw that it was Tong Jie who grabbed her hand.
She quickly pulled her hand back.
