Chapter 400: Protecting a Slave
Everyone present was stunned.
Although she was the first female official appointed by the emperor himself, everyone knew that this position was just a place where people could stamp seals but did nothing.
Who would have thought that she would come forward at this time!
At this moment, Concubine Kang Wu Wan angrily scolded: "Sinan Yan, you are so bold!"
“…”
"Are you worthy enough to speak nonsense in front of the special envoy of the Kingdom of Dian?"
Indeed, according to her status, Nan Yan was not worthy of coming forward at this time, let alone having a conversation with the envoy of the Neng Kingdom.
However, just as Concubine Kang finished speaking, a somewhat unfamiliar, cold voice sounded from the side.
"Why is Concubine Kang so angry?"
This voice is both gentle and a bit cold, and the sound quality is very special, like the sound of a guqin, which penetrates into people's hearts in an instant.
It turned out to be Concubine Ning Qin Ruolan.
Everyone was shocked again.
This seemed to be the first time that everyone heard her speak in public.
Zhu Feng looked at her, his expression becoming somewhat complicated.
Qin Ruolan sat in her seat and said calmly, "Since the Shangbao female official is willing to share the emperor's worries and not trouble the sisters in the harem, this is a good thing."
Wu Wan didn't expect that she would say these words to herself.
Although the tone was quite polite, everyone understood the meaning of the words.
The one who came to present the gift from the Neng Kingdom was a woman, and if the one who came to return the gift from the Yan Kingdom was a man, it would inevitably cause ridicule. So after the special envoy said those words just now, He Yi and Ye Zheng and the others did not speak.
But if a woman were to take the lead—
The palace maids around were so frightened that they were at a loss as to whether to return the gift or not. They were lucky enough not to be rude.
And the concubines in the harem obviously do not have such ability.
Wu Wan's expression turned extremely ugly, but she was unwilling to admit her own "incompetence". She sneered, "It's really eye-opening for Concubine Ning to protect a servant like this."
At this time, Zhu Feng said coldly: "No need to say anything."
Everyone lowered their heads immediately.
He looked at Nan Yan, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Sinan Yan, are you okay?"
Nan Yan said softly, "This servant is willing to share the emperor's worries."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while, then said, "Okay, go ahead."
Nan Yan saluted and then slowly walked out from behind him. At this time, Arslan also stood up from his seat and looked at Si Nan Yan with a smile in his eyes: "Lady, we meet again."
Nan Yan curled the corners of her lips stiffly, expressing her polite smile.
The smile in Arslan's eyes deepened.
He said, "I wonder how the lady-in-waiting intends to respond."
Nan Yan looked at him, then looked at Princess Baoyin, who was standing in the center of the warm room, holding a long sword, and her beauty exuded a heroic spirit.
She also looked at Si Nanyan. Looking at this seemingly fragile little woman, her eyes, full of wild beauty, showed a bit of contempt. She said, "Can you do it?"
“…”
"Did you understand what I just sang?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Of course."
"Then tell me first, what am I singing?"
“…”
Nan Yan rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "How about I reply to the princess with a poem?"
"poetry?"
Princess Baoyin raised her thick black eyebrows. The song she had just sung was about what she had seen and heard during her visit to the Central Plains, Nanjing, and the Imperial Palace. The pavilions and towers here were indeed magnificent. Compared with the magnificence of the grassland, it was another fascinating scenery, making people feel as if they were in a dream.
Can a slave translate his own song into poetry?
Nan Yan smiled, thought about it seriously, and then chanted -

Yumen knocks do not respond
Suspected to be a palace in heaven
A dream of the east wind takes me to the end of the world.
