Chapter 184: Clothes are not as good as new ones...
This night is destined to be a sleepless night for some people.
The next morning, Nan Yan got up early and helped Zhu Feng wash and dress. Just as he was getting dressed, the voice of Prince Jing Zhu Yan came from outside the door.
"emperor."
When she heard his voice, Nan Yan frowned subconsciously.
Zhu Feng calmly nodded his chin at her. Nan Yan hurried over and opened the door. She saw Zhu Xuan, already in armor, and the soldiers behind him bowing to Zhu Feng: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng slowly walked to the door: "Is Prince Jing going to send troops?"
"Yes, I will lead my troops out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Yue army."
“…”
"I have come to report this to the Emperor."
Zhu Feng walked up to him, looked him up and down, and said, "Very good. Thanks to you, the border has been stable over the years, and the court has not bothered to go south. This time, I am waiting for good news from your triumphant return."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After saying that, the group prepared to leave.
Just as Zhu Xuan was about to turn around and leave, Zhu Feng suddenly called him again: "Sixth Brother."
He hurriedly stopped and turned around: "Royal brother..."
Zhu Feng walked up to him and patted his shoulder gently: "Be careful."
Zhu Xuan had never expected him to say such words to him. For a moment, he felt a little emotional, his eyes slightly reddened, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, my emperor. I'm going."
Zhu Feng nodded.
The group left the courtyard.
Nan Yan stood at the door, looking at Zhu Feng's back with a frown, feeling a little confused for a moment.
The way he just acted was completely that of a friendly brother who cared about his younger brother. Could it be that he had other thoughts about Prince Jing's secret communication with the enemy country?
But of course she didn't dare to ask such questions. If she said something wrong, it would become a rift between the family.
After Prince Jing and his entourage disappeared from view, Zhu Feng turned back to his room. Nan Yan hurriedly followed him and whispered, "Your Majesty, what are your plans for today?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Grind the ink."
"ah?"
"I want to practice calligraphy for a while."
“…”
Nan Yan didn't know why he was still in the mood to practice calligraphy at this time, but she immediately walked to the table, arranged the four treasures of the study, and then carefully ground ink for him.
Zhu Feng walked over, picked up the pen, and began to write stroke by stroke on the rice paper.
Although he came from a military background, his handwriting was excellent. Unlike his temperament, it was extremely neat, as if copied from a model.
Nan Yan stood by and watched him writing non-stop, filling several pages with various ancient poems and essays.
The more I write, the heavier my brushstrokes become.
Nan Yan couldn't help but frown as she watched him. After writing on several pages, he suddenly stopped, turned over the paper he had just filled, and faced the blank paper below. He was silent for a long time before he slowly started writing.
Nan Yan followed his strokes and softly recited -
The lonely white rabbit looks around as it walks eastwards.
Clothes are worse than new ones...

Zhu Xuan traveled quickly all the way to the Xishan military camp in Yongzhou. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Tong Jie standing there waiting for him with a pale face and a piece of letter in his hand.
Zhu Xuan asked, "What's wrong? In Yue State—"
Tong Jie took a step forward, fear flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Brother-in-law, something bad has happened!"
Zhu Xuan frowned. "What's the big deal? Two hundred thousand troops from the Kingdom of Yue are approaching. Is there anything bigger than this?"
Tong Jie slowly raised his hand and placed the letter in front of him.
