Chapter 79 Wouldn’t that mean a good thing turns into a bad thing?
"I would like to ask Your Highness to marry her to Xiaoquan Ruocheng."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Feng's face suddenly darkened.
Nan Yan was also dumbfounded, but before she could react and say anything, Jian Ruocheng, who was standing behind Jian Tongguang, opened his eyes wide in surprise and said, "Father?!"
Jian Tongguang bowed his head and said, "I hope Your Highness will approve it."
“…”
His voice was not loud, especially compared to the two requests he had just made. This voice could only be heard by those of them who were standing closer. Everyone around them looked at them with bated breath, but found that none of them spoke again.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Feng suddenly chuckled.
After laughing, he turned around and glanced at Nan Yan.
Nan Yan was also a little panicked. She had never expected that Jian Tongguang would say such a thing, and in this situation, in front of Zhu Feng. She looked up foolishly and met his gaze. The warmth that seemed to be an illusion just now disappeared at this moment.
What remains is a chill as if quenched by ice.
Zhu Feng's dark eyes only glanced at her for a moment, then he slowly turned his head to look at Jian Tongguang, and said with a half-smile, "I thought that what Elder Jian wanted to tell me were all matters of great benefit to the country and the people. Why are you suddenly talking about a servant?"
Jian Tongguang said, "Sinanyan is a smart girl. I like her very much."
“…”
Zhu Feng's lips curled up slightly, and he looked up at Jian Ruocheng, who was obviously a little bewildered by his father's words: "Second Master Jian, do you think so too?"
Jian Ruocheng said awkwardly: "I - a commoner -"
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered again, and then he said, "It seems that Mr. Jian has not discussed this matter with the people involved."
Jian Tongguang said: "My parents' orders."
Zhu Feng asked, "Then, has Master Jian ever asked this servant of mine?"
This time, Jian Tongguang was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Well, I, this commoner -"
Zhu Feng chuckled and said, "Parents' orders and matchmaker's words are indeed important, but if the person involved is completely unaware of it, or even disagrees with it, wouldn't that turn a good thing into a bad one?"
After saying that, he turned his head slightly, not even looking at Nan Yan, and said coldly: "Si Nan Yan."
“…”
Nan Yan was still a little dazed, completely stunned by this sudden change. When she heard him calling her, she forgot to react.
Zhu Feng said coldly again: "Sinan Yan!"
She was awakened from her dream and hurried forward: "The servant is here!"
From her angle, she couldn't see Zhu Feng's face, but she could see his long eyelashes covering his eyes. Those eyelashes seemed to be frozen by the cold air emanating from his body, and they were motionless.
He said, "Just now, you heard what Mr. Jian said."
“…”
"Do you agree?"
“…”
The surroundings became quiet again.
Although the people behind him didn't know what had happened in front, the occasional words they heard, and the looks of people like the prince and Jian Tongguang seemed to indicate that this matter was related to the young woman following behind Prince Yan.
Everyone's eyes turned to her.
Nan Yan felt as if a thorn in her back. She raised her head and looked at Zhu Feng's profile, and finally saw a glint in his eyes.
Like a cold light, it pierced through her body in an instant.
She lowered her head and said softly, "Every part of this servant belongs to His Highness. For matters of this magnitude, I will naturally obey—I will obey His Highness's arrangements."
