Chapter 2116 But who am I doing this for? !
In the somewhat cool night breeze, Nan Yan returned to Yiku Palace.
Before, there was a lively banquet and such an "earth-shattering" event happened here, but now, it is so quiet that even the wind can only whimper in the corner.
Eunuch Yu and the others were just standing at the door.
Seeing her return, everyone's faces showed a look of relief, and they whispered, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is still in there."
“…”
certainly.
Although Zhu Feng has rarely stayed overnight in Yikun Palace recently, Nan Yan could feel that he would stay for a while tonight.
So he stepped inside.
Ran Xiaoyu also stayed at the door and closed it carefully.
As soon as I entered, I saw that Zhu Feng was the only one left in the room. Xinping had obviously been taken away by the maids to sleep, while Zhu Feng was still sitting in the chair in the same position as before, but I could vaguely feel that his shoulders were drooping a little.
There are also a few more hanging needle lines between the eyebrows.
Seeing her come in, Zhu Feng asked, "Are you back?"
"Yes, the Queen has gone back to rest."
"Come and sit down."
"yes."
Zhu Feng pulled the chair next to him closer to himself, and Nan Yan walked over and sat down almost leaning against him.
Zhu Feng pulled her slightly cold hand and held it in his palm.
Nan Yan's hands were thin, but they still felt fleshy when pinched, and her slightly cold fingers soon became warm in Zhu Feng's warm palms.
He felt a little calmer as he held such a pair of soft hands.
Despite this, my mood is still a mess.
Nan Yan could sense his chaotic thoughts from the way he rubbed her hands, which were either light or heavy. She thought for a moment, then smiled and said softly, "Tonight, the King of Wei allowed me to do this, which greatly changed everyone's opinion."
"Um?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "In the past, I always thought this kid was too kind and cowardly, and he was timid in doing things. But tonight, he is really different from the impression I had of him."
"……Um."
Zhu Feng couldn't deny this.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I used to think he had many shortcomings, not good enough here and not good enough there. In fact, it was just because he didn't have time to improve. Now that he has grown up, I realize that it was just because he was too young and we didn't really understand him."
“…”
"Children always grow up."
“…”
"Seeing him like this, I am really happy."
"……Um."
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, just responded solemnly.
Nan Yan felt that he seemed a little absent-minded, but she didn't know what he was thinking about, so she asked, "Your Majesty, are you unhappy?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
He said lightly: "No."
"Then why does the emperor look unhappy?"
“…”
Zhu Feng's face was gloomy, and after a while he said coldly: "He contradicted me like this in public, do you think I should be happy?"
“…”
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan was speechless for a moment.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said softly, "The Emperor just told my uncle that his daughters are meant to be loved."
"certainly."
"I love my daughter, but I can play with my son as I please?"
Zhu Feng frowned upon hearing this: "Why, you said I was playing with the King of Wei casually?"
Seeing the angry expression on his face, Nan Yan hesitated, but having said this, she could only bite the bullet and continue: "Isn't it?"
“…”
"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of the King of Wei, Your Majesty has really gone back on this too many times."
"you--"
Zhu Feng wanted to get angry, but when he wanted to say something, he didn't know how to say it.
Because in all fairness, he is.
He was indeed capricious when it came to the issue of the King of Wei appointing him as the Crown Prince, changing his mind time and time again. Every time Nan Yan became pregnant, he changed his mind.
The King of Wei was like a ball in his hand, constantly tossing it into the sky. Just when he thought he was about to reach his goal, he would fall heavily down.
This feeling...
He suddenly frowned, and a faint anger rose in his heart.
This feeling is really uncomfortable.
It’s so painful…
Nan Yan, however, didn't notice the subtle change in his thoughts and only spoke softly, "Your Majesty, it's not that Your Majesty doesn't know the goodness of the Prince of Wei. In fact, hasn't Your Majesty ever hoped that the Prince of Wei would summon up the courage, take responsibility, resolve this matter, and become a better prince, a better heir?"
“…”
"Your Majesty, you must have expectations of the King of Wei."
“…”
"In that case, why—"
“That’s enough!”
Before Nan Yan could finish her words, she was interrupted by his angry scolding. Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, only to see Zhu Feng's face turn pale. He stared at her and said solemnly, "You are speaking frankly. It's all my fault."
"Your Majesty, how dare I have such intentions..."
"But who am I doing this for?!"
“…”
"Hmph, think about it carefully."
After saying that, he shook off her hand, stood up and left.
Nan Yan froze in her chair, her eyes wide as she watched him open the door and storm out. The people outside were caught off guard, and they were all a bit slow to react. Fortunately, Eunuch Yu followed him with his short legs, beating like a drum. As he followed, he hurriedly glanced back at the Yikun Palace.
From a distance, I could still hear him cautiously ask, "Your Majesty, would you like to return to your bedroom to rest?"
"Return to the Imperial Study!"
"Uh, yes, yes."
The voices and footsteps gradually faded away.
Nan Yan was still sitting in the chair, motionless for a long time.
Just thinking about what Zhu Feng said before he rushed out——
It's all out of spite.
You know, although Zhu Feng is proud, his pride is different from others. When he gets angry, it's like the sky is falling and the earth is cracking. Few ordinary people dare to annoy him.
But just now, when he lost his temper, he didn't look like the ruthless look he usually looks when he is furious.
On the contrary, a bit like a child.
I also started to argue with myself.
But thinking about what he said, Nan Yan could only smile bitterly in her heart because she felt angry but also felt a little bit of grievance that she couldn't express.
Yeah, he's not doing it for himself.
For him, choosing the King of Wei would be less laborious. After all, there was a rule of appointing the most virtuous and the eldest son, and the ministers in the court would hardly object. But if he wanted to enthrone the child in his belly, one could imagine how much trouble it would cause in the future and how many obstacles he would encounter.
But he still wanted to enthrone his own child.
It's not just because of his feelings for her, he also said that he hopes she will have someone to rely on in the future.
A mother is honored by her son, and a son is honored by his mother. They have always complemented each other.
But now——
Nan Yan lowered her head and smiled helplessly.
She has silently given up this power.
He was so "careful" for himself, but he turned around and helped others "deal with" him. No wonder Zhu Feng was angry.
