Chapter 3387: Thirty Years
Nan Yan glanced at him and smiled.
Even if Zhu Feng never mentioned it, she knew where the word "Yan" in her name came from. Zhu Feng must have been very proud that his concubine's name was named after him.
Therefore, the word "smoke" has a special meaning, and naturally one does not want others to talk about it all the time.
However, the two of them were so old that they were considered grandparents, so it was embarrassing to say anything more. Nan Yan just smiled and glanced at Zhu Feng, then turned her eyes away and asked everyone to sit down.
After Concubine Yi and Princess Yongping were called over, more people came and crowded around the table.
Although it was just a casual meal, Zhu Feng naturally sat in the main seat, with the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Yi serving on both sides. The young prince was sandwiched between the Imperial Concubine and the Crown Princess, and Concubine Yi was also taking care of Princess Yongping. Only Xinping sat at the end.
She grabbed her chopsticks and muttered, "Father, the Emperor doesn't love me anymore."
Nan Yan was originally serving food to the young master. Upon hearing this, she looked up and glared at her, saying, "You're such a grown-up, and you're still gossiping!"
"That's what it is."
Xin Ping pouted and said, "Father used to sit next to me."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yi immediately put down her chopsticks and said, "How about, Princess, sit here?"
Nan Yan hurriedly stopped Concubine Yi and said, "Ignore her. It's unreasonable to let a child order you around. Let her talk."
Zhu Feng only looked at his daughter with a smile, and then he said to Xiao Shunzi behind him: "Come here, the princess is feeling sad, bring this plate of Langya candy to her, so she can feel sweet."
Upon hearing this, Xinping's eyes lit up and he immediately smiled: "Thank you, Father."
Xiao Shunzi also smiled and brought the plate of candy to her. Xin Ping started to eat it without hesitation, saying as he ate, "Father, you really do care about me."
Nan Yan couldn't stand her eating candy like that, but she couldn't stop Zhu Feng from pampering her, so she could only say angrily, "Eat faster! Even candy can't stop your mouth!"
The young master, Chang Yi, looked at Xin Ping with his eyes wide open, and suddenly grinned and said, "Aunt, I'm greedy."
Xinping wrinkled his nose at him.
On the other side, Yongping immediately said, "I don't have it!"
Everyone at the table burst into laughter.
Everyone chatted and laughed as they ate. Nan Yan was very attentive, serving food to the young prince. His small bowl was piled high with food like a small mountain. Little Chang Yi was also well behaved, keeping his head down and eating without stopping. The Crown Princess whispered, "The Queen dotes on him too much."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I just like watching children eat."
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "I guess His Royal Highness the Prince of Han must have eaten like this when he was a child."
Nan Yan said, "He hasn't been with me for a long time, and I've never seen him eat so well."
Having said that, he couldn't help but turn around and give Zhu Feng a blank look.
"Now, someone has even thrown him into the military camp. My mother and I can hardly see him for ten days or half a month."
Zhu Feng was sipping his wine, looking quite contented. When he heard her complain, he said, "What's wrong with throwing him to the military camp? Shouldn't boys be allowed to experience some hardship?"
Nan Yan immediately turned around and fired at him: "How old is he?"
"Almost ten years old, not young anymore."
"When the Emperor was ten years old, he hadn't even joined the army yet."
"If my son can't even catch up with me, what's the point?"
Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, the Crown Princess was on pins and needles, and Concubine Yi was also at a loss for words. Princess Xinping, who was munching on crispy candy on the other side, looked up and said, "I see that he is enjoying himself in the military camp like a duck to water. He even didn't sleep in."
Nan Yan asked, "What do you know?"
Xin Ping said, "That's what the Crown Prince said. He went to the military camp to visit Cheng Jun, Wei Ying, Lu Linchuan and the others two days ago. Cheng Jun is the youngest among them, but he's not the most useless."
After returning from the northwest, Zhu Feng not only sent his own son to the military camp to gain experience, but also sent the sons of several ministers in the court, as well as several close friends of the prince. Nan Yan knew in her heart that the younger generation could not always rely on the achievements of the older generation, but had to earn some fame and honor on their own. However, when she thought of her son suffering, she felt a little bit uncomfortable as a mother.
Zhu Feng immediately said, "Did you hear that?"
Nan Yan snorted.
The Crown Princess whispered, "Your Majesty, don't worry. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will check on you from time to time. If there's anything wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince of Han, he'll report it to Your Majesty immediately."
Only then did Nan Yan nodded aggrievedly.
The meal was quickly finished. After a short rest, the Crown Princess took the young prince out of the palace, and Concubine Yi also took Yongping back. Xinping stayed in her parents' arms for a while, but had to attend evening classes, so she left.
Before leaving, Nan Yan chased after her and told her not to eat sweets at night.
When she returned to the room, she saw Zhu Feng leaning on the couch, squinting his eyes and looking at her with a smile.
Nan Yan walked over and sat next to him: "What is your Majesty laughing at?"
Zhu Feng reached out and pinched her nose: "I see you look like an old woman now."
Nan Yan slapped his hand away with a bang.
After a while, she continued, "The children are all grown up, is it okay for me not to grow old?"
Zhu Feng smiled, then suddenly seemed to remember something. He sighed with some emotion and said, "Yes, those who marry marry, and those who have children have children. When they grow up, we will all be old too."
Nan Yan glanced at him.
Although he has several children, the prince is the only one who has married and had children. Why are they being talked about separately?
So he smiled and said, "The Crown Prince is the only one who can marry and have children. It's still too early for Cheng Jun."
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered, and he said, "I'm not talking about just the Crown Prince."
"Um?"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.
How come more than one of his children is married and has children? Could it be that there are other children that he doesn't know about?
Seeing Nan Yan's face change, he knew she was imagining things again. Zhu Feng pinched her with a mixture of anger and amusement, then said, "I'm talking about the one you picked up!"
“…”
Nan Yan thought about it and came to her senses.
What he said was Li Bushang.
So he laughed too and glared at Zhu Feng again.
Actually, although Li Bushang was not their child, he was picked up from the border of Yongzhou by Zhu Feng and trained by Zhu Feng. Now he is the commander of the Jinyiwei. Although no one said it, everyone thought of Li Bushang as the imperial concubine.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Yes, he has grown up and even got married."
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered as he slowly said, "He's already thirty years old this year."
