Chapter 1904 They are a couple, what about you?
Zhu Feng said, "Come to think of it, Xue Ling was causing trouble in your Commandant's Mansion, and it was she who shot you with a crossbow. Do you think the method Ran Xiaoyu just mentioned is feasible?"
“…”
Ye Zheng walked over silently, looked at Ran Xiaoyu, and then looked up at Zhu Feng.
After a while, he said, "Miss Xiaoyu...you said it very well."
"oh?"
Ye Zheng thought that what he had said was enough, but unexpectedly Zhu Feng continued to ask: "Where is good?"
“…”
Ye Zheng coughed lightly and said, "Separate public and private matters."
“…”
"From a public perspective, Xue Ling's shooting of me was indeed a necessary move to gain the trust of the Sand Bandits. Without this move, Ji Santing wouldn't have been able to coordinate internal and external efforts to completely eradicate the Sand Bandits in Hot Moon Bay."
“…”
"It seems that their shooting of this humble official is just a small matter."
“…”
"I am willing to give up my personal grudge."
"oh……"
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows again and said with a half-smile, "You are willing to listen to her."
After hearing this, Ye Zheng coughed repeatedly. Ran Xiaoyu's cheeks also turned red and she lowered her head quickly.
Ye Zheng hurriedly added, "Besides, I also believe that Ji Santing is brave and resourceful, and is a talent. After weighing his merits and demerits, it would be wise to retain him. If he is willing to serve the court and be loyal to the emperor, it would not be a waste of him."
In fact, this is also what Ran Xiaoyu meant just now.
However, as an ordinary palace maid and a slave, it was already bold and presumptuous for her to express her own opinions on things. If she even proposed who the court should employ, it would be an act of usurpation. If the censors knew about it, they would definitely punish her and chop off her head.
But it would be fine if Ye Zheng said this.
Zhu Feng looked at the two of them for a while and then smiled.
He waved his hand and said, "Alright, I understand. You two can go down. I'm a little tired and need to rest."
So they immediately saluted Zhu Feng and turned to leave.
Nan Yan stayed.
After both of them left and the door was closed, she stood up and walked to Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, you are really terrible. You scared Xiaoyu just now."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "You trained well."
“…”
"This girl is indeed different from before."
Nan Yan couldn't help laughing when she thought back to what had just happened.
Although I have been constantly coaching Ran Xiaoyu on both big and small emotional intelligence these days, it also depends on her personal understanding. From what she just said, I can see that her style of doing things, including her thoughts and attitudes when encountering things, are very different from before.
It is not easy for a girl to keep public and private affairs separate.
As the saying goes, there are differences between men and women. Nan Yan feels that the biggest difference is that men can suppress reason over emotion and make the most appropriate judgment when dealing with things, while girls often act on their emotions.
This was the case with Ran Xiaoyu before.
In fact, such people are not bad. On the contrary, they are straightforward and lovely, and you can interact with them sincerely.
It's just that they live around imperial power.
The palace is not a hotbed of emotions. On the contrary, people who act on their emotions often bring huge disasters upon themselves.
If Xiaoyu wants to be with Ye Zheng, she must change herself.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I just heard the other day that Xiaoyu and Ye Zheng made a pact. She wanted to show Ye Zheng how she would look after she changed. If she really changed, she would ask Ye Zheng to be with her obediently."
"Oh? There's such a thing?"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "That's something this girl can say."
“…”
"That's fine. I feel more at ease knowing that Ye Zheng has a reliable woman by his side."
Nan Yan smiled.
As expected, she was right in her guess. Ye Zheng would be of great use to Zhu Feng, so Zhu Feng would naturally be very picky about the women around him. Those he didn't like would be eliminated one by one.
And Xiaoyu has passed the test.
She laughed and said, "If that's the case, then why doesn't the emperor add fuel to the fire and arrange a marriage for them?"
"Arranged marriage?"
"Yes, it's wonderful that lovers finally get married."
Zhu Feng shook his head upon hearing this: "I don't intend to arrange a marriage for them now, let alone let them become a couple so soon."
"Why? Isn't it a good thing for lovers to finally get married?"
Zhu Feng said: "They are married, what about you?"
"I?"
Nan Yan was even more surprised. What did this have to do with her? If they could be together, she would be happy to see it happen.
Seeing that she still looked confused, Zhu Feng shook his head and reached out to poke her forehead.
"If I say you're stupid, you're really not smart!"
“…”
"Ran Xiaoyu is the head maid of your Yikun Palace. Now you are pregnant. If she marries Ye Zheng and leaves you, who will take care of you?"
“…”
"She's been with you for so many years, I know her inside and out and she's a confidant. I'm at ease with her no matter what happens. If I promote someone else now, not only will you be uncomfortable with her, I'll also be worried."
"So the emperor is worried about this,"
Nan Yan blinked her eyes, and then she seemed to come back to her senses.
That’s right.
The baby in my belly is almost four months old.
There is still nearly half a year before the birth of the child, and there are still such a long time to go after the birth of the child. The hearts of people in the palace are unpredictable and the situation is turbulent. If she is not by her side, it will probably be difficult to cope with it.
She thought for a moment and then said softly, "Even if she's gone, I still have other people around me who can be used."
Zhu Feng still shook his head. "The people in your palace are useful, but not for major tasks. Tongyun is steady, but not decisive enough; Nianqiu is too young, clever but not smart enough; and the other maids who do menial tasks are even more useless."
“…”
"No matter what, you can't do without Ran Xiaoyu."
“…”
Nan Yan listened and felt warm in her heart. She couldn't help but take a step forward and snuggle up to Zhu Feng.
It turned out that Zhu Feng had taken all of this into consideration.
For his own sake, he really does take care of every detail.
Zhu Feng held her in his arms and said softly, "So, at least for the next few years, Ran Xiaoyu can't leave your side."
“…”
"Even after the child is born, I plan to let you raise him by yourself."
“…”
"If he is a prince, he must learn martial arts from a young age. With Ran Xiaoyu serving and teaching him, he can have a better foundation. When he grows up, I will teach him myself. I am not afraid that he will become a talented man in both literature and martial arts."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan was touched and wanted to laugh.
"Your Majesty is thinking too far ahead!"
“…”
"Now this child is probably not even as big as my fist, and the emperor wants him to be a man of both civil and military talents. Really..."
Zhu Feng also laughed: "Why not?"
As he spoke, he reached out and gently stroked Nan Yan's slightly bulging belly.
His eyes gleamed: "I have been looking forward to him."
