Chapter 3197 Why so rude?
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan immediately straightened her appearance and sat upright. The Crown Prince and the bride presented her with a cup of tea. Nan Yan took it, took a sip, and looked at them with a smile: "The two of you are so happy and harmonious. This palace is happier than anything else."
The prince said, "I will follow your Majesty's instructions."
Nan Yan smiled and nodded.
At this time, the bridesmaid said loudly beside her: "Send her to the bridal chamber!"
At this moment, the gongs, drums and suona outside immediately became deafening. Several of the prince's close friends, a group of young people, all lay at the door of the main hall. They had originally agreed to go to the bridal chamber to make trouble, but now that His Majesty the Emperor and the Royal Concubine were there, they naturally did not dare to be too presumptuous and could only watch.
Nan Yan glanced at them, smiled, stood up, and walked to Zhu Feng's side: "Your Majesty, how about we go back?"
"Leaving now?"
"The Emperor is sitting here, it's not right for young people to make trouble."
"What else are they going to do?"
"It's like making trouble in the bridal chamber. Common people do that."
Zhu Feng looked at the young marquises, all of whom were looking at him eagerly. He said, "I didn't stop them."
Nan Yan laughed and said, "Your Majesty, do you still need to stop them? You are sitting here like a demon god, how dare they act so recklessly?"
"snort!"
"Your Majesty, please go. Let the young people have some fun. Besides—"
When she said this, she turned around and glanced at the guests sitting outside at the wine table. Although everyone was toasting each other, Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian, who had just returned, were the only ones who failed to fit in with the happy atmosphere. They both looked uneasy.
From time to time, he would look back and secretly glance at the emperor and the imperial concubine.
Nan Yan whispered, "Your Majesty, don't you want to know what the two envoys saw when they went to the Western Regions?"
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
In fact, ever since he saw Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian come back, this matter has also come to his mind. However, today is the prince's wedding, and he kept it to show his importance. Now that the imperial concubine said so, he no longer insisted.
Then he said, "Let's go."
After saying that, he stood up holding the armrest of the chair.
When the people in the palace saw the emperor stand up, they hurried over. Zhu Feng waved his hand and said, "You guys drink your wine. My imperial study is still piled with memorials you sent me. I need to go back and take a look. Don't get too drunk. You still have to attend the morning court tomorrow."
Everyone said, "Yes."
Zhu Feng then led the imperial concubine out. As they left the main hall, they saw several young marquises clinging to the doorway, looking as if they were about to rush into the bridal chamber. Zhu Feng said with a stern face, "Stop making such a fuss."
Several young marquises immediately laughed and said, "As you wish!"
As they spoke, they rushed in, and two mischievous ones even shouted, "We are here to make trouble in the bridal chamber!"
This time, they were about to lift the roof off the house.
Zhu Feng shook his head and walked out with his hands behind his back. He passed by Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian. The two looked at him eagerly, as if they wanted to say something, but because of the crowd around them, they couldn't speak. Zhu Feng didn't stop until he and Nan Yan walked out of the Prince's Mansion and got into the carriage at the door. Then he whispered, "Call Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian and meet the emperor in the imperial study."
Xiao Shunzi said, "Yes."
He immediately sent a young eunuch in to pass on the message, and Nan Yan followed Zhu Feng into the car and returned to the palace together.
It was almost midnight when they returned to the palace. It was pitch dark all around. Only Xiao Shunzi was walking in front with a lantern, lighting up the small area. As they walked towards the imperial study, Nan Yan couldn't help but yawning with her hand covering her mouth.
Zhu Feng turned around and looked at her: "Tired?"
Nan Yan smiled sheepishly: "I went to the Gu Mansion early in the morning to check on it, so I'm a little tired."
"Why don't you go back to sleep then?"
"No,"
Nan Yan shook her head and looked at Zhu Feng cautiously: "I want to go with the emperor to meet Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian to see what they encountered in the Western Regions."
“…”
"May I?"
As a concubine, she certainly could not interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty. However, Zhu Feng was used to taking her with him to deal with these matters, and sometimes he would listen to her opinions, so she was used to it. However, no matter how used she was, it was not the rule after all, so she still pleaded cautiously.
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said, "Aren't you tired?"
Nan Yan said hurriedly: "With this bit of spirit, I can still fight."
“…”
"Your Majesty, please grant me your permission. If I go back now, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep."
Zhu Feng sighed helplessly and said, "You, I've spoiled you."
After saying that, he grabbed her hand and quickened his pace to the imperial study. While Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian were not there yet, he took her to the inner room of the imperial study to rest for a while.
Not long after, footsteps were heard outside.
Xiao Shunzi walked to the door of the inner room and said softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Master Gu and Master Tong are here."
Nan Yan had been resting her head with one hand on the small table, her eyes closed. Upon hearing this, she immediately opened her eyes, her gaze incredibly clear and lucid. Zhu Feng was still sitting nearby, reading a memorial by the candlelight. He also put down his memorial, stood up, and said, "Let them in."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Under normal circumstances, Nan Yan might have stayed in the inner room and just listened to what they said, but this time, she insisted on following them out. When Zhu Feng sat behind the desk, she walked over and stood beside him.
Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian were led in by Xiao Shunzi. When they saw that the imperial concubine was there, they were stunned.
But he immediately came to his senses, walked forward and knelt on the ground.
"This humble servant pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Zhu Feng glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, "Have you been drinking?"
Tong Sinian immediately said, "We know that the emperor wants to summon us for questioning, so we dare not drink."
Zhu Feng laughed and said, "You don't dare to drink? Then how come you're drunk?"
The two were stunned and looked at each other subconsciously.
Gu Yiyou immediately said, "Your Majesty... We, we are not drunk."
"Not drunk?"
Zhu Feng looked at them and said with a half-smile, "If you weren't drunk, who gave you the courage to look directly at the Imperial Concubine in the Crown Prince's Mansion?"
The two were so frightened that they kowtowed hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Nan Yan couldn't help but glance at Zhu Feng.
You know, I've followed him all over the country and I don't know how many people I've met. But he suddenly started to argue with two juniors. It was obvious that he saw that the two of them had something to hide, so he wanted to provoke them to speak it out.
Zhu Feng leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "Tell me, why are you so rude?"
