Chapter 551: Frightened Xia Yunting
They stayed in Henan Road for two days.
After all, it was nothing big, and Wu Yingqiu had nothing big to do. He just wanted to get people into the court.
Zhu Feng received those lists, but the specific appointments would of course have to wait until he returned to the palace and discussed them before making a decision.
However, when Wu Yingqiu wanted to fill his harem with people, it was not so easy.
None of them can be squeezed in.
Not only could he not squeeze in, he couldn't even step into Zhu Feng's door.
And all this is naturally thanks to Nan Yan.
She was so defensive that even Zhu Feng laughed and said, "Will you never let even a female mosquito into my room in the future?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked up at him and said seriously, "If the emperor likes... mosquitoes, you can release one."
Zhu Feng pinched her face and shook it hard twice.
At this moment, Xiao Shunzi and his men had almost finished packing up the things in the room and were loading them into the car. Then they said, "Your Majesty, the motorcade outside is ready."
Zhu Feng nodded and walked out with Nan Yan.
The beautiful scenery outside is still jaw-dropping when I see it again.
Those exquisite carved beams and painted pillars, golden utensils and green tiles, as well as the colorful flowers specially grown in the greenhouse and now blooming in the snow,
This villa is indeed gorgeous and exquisite.
However, although it is beautiful, it lacks any spiritual energy.
Nan Yan felt that it was not even as beautiful as the simple yet elegant Prince Yan's Mansion.
So, she followed Zhu Feng away without any regrets.
Officials from Henan Province naturally came to see them off. Nan Yan sat in Zhu Feng's carriage and carefully lifted a corner of the curtain. She saw Gu Tingqiu standing in an inconspicuous corner among the crowd, smiling at her.
Nan Yan felt that his smile was not simple.
He must have realized that he did not have much affection for his so-called "family" and would not whisper in their favor in front of the emperor.
Even if one day they really need her help, she may not lend a hand.
But he still gave the money to himself again and again.
Obviously, he realized that the emperor was in need of someone.
As long as you keep yourself within the emperor's sight, there will be a day when you will be used.
This is beneficial to both himself and their family.
Nan Yan never wanted to be someone else's stepping stone, but she also didn't want to be a stumbling block for others. As long as they were harmless to Zhu Feng and did not hinder her, she would not go against them just because of the unpleasantness in her childhood.
So she calmly lowered the curtain.
The carriage broke through the ice and snow and continued to move south.
Along the way, officials from various places still came to welcome him and try to keep him, but Zhu Feng did not stay any longer in other places.
In mid-April, I returned to Jinling.
It was a very good day, and the bright sunlight shone on the glazed tiles on the palace roof, reflecting colorful light.
When the carriage stopped, a familiar, somewhat noisy sound of chirping birds could be heard.
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
Although she returned to the warm south of the Yangtze River and there was no longer the danger of war, Nan Yan preferred the north. Or rather, she preferred the time she spent with Zhu Feng, who had left here.
But people still have to return to reality.
They must return to Jinling.
And she also had to face the women in his harem.
At this moment, a rough, warm big hand reached out and held her hand.
Turning around, it was Zhu Feng.
He smiled slightly at her.
Nan Yan also smiled at him.
At this time, the voice of Eunuch Yu respectfully invited him in from outside. Zhu Feng stood up, opened the curtain, and got off the carriage swiftly.
Immediately, all the concubines who had been standing here waiting since before dawn knelt down and bowed. They were dressed in colorful clothes and had pearls and jade on their heads. For a moment, the scene before their eyes was full of colorful flowers, as if they were blooming.
"Welcome the Emperor back to the palace!"
Zhu Feng put his hands behind his back, glanced at them, and said calmly, "Everyone, get up."
Xu Miaoyin was the first to stand up.
She walked to Zhu Feng and whispered, "Is the emperor in good health?"
"I am fine."
"I heard there's a fierce battle going on in Peking, and the Emperor is leading the army himself. I've been worried day and night."
"Don't worry."
Zhu Feng looked down at her and asked, "Is everything alright in the palace?"
"Everyone in the palace misses the emperor and hopes for his return day and night. Nothing major has happened."
"Um."
"As for what the Emperor has instructed me to do, it has already been arranged. I just need to wait for His Majesty's review."
"We'll talk about this later."
"yes."
At this time, the concubines nearby also rushed forward and surrounded Zhu Feng, each of them being extremely affectionate.
"I have finally waited for the Emperor to come back."
"Is the emperor in good health?"
"The battle in Peking this time is so dangerous. The Emperor should have returned to Nanjing earlier."
…
Zhu Feng still felt that they were noisy as usual.
The strange thing was that he could face the scene of thousands of horses galloping and feel it was magnificent, but when faced with a situation like this, he felt like his brain was about to explode.
Of course, there was no expression on his face, and he just nodded faintly.
Everyone was talking when Xiao Shunzi turned around and helped someone down from the carriage.
Suddenly, all the noisy concubines quieted down, and all pairs of bright eyes gathered together in an instant.
They all saw that the person who got off the emperor's carriage was Si Nanyan.
Suddenly, everyone was shocked.
Only Xu Miaoyin watched this scene unfold calmly.
After a while, someone in the crowd whispered, "What's going on? Why is she in the emperor's carriage?"
"Could it be that the Emperor——"
For a moment, everyone's expression became stiff and even ugly.
Especially Xia Yunting.
She stood behind Concubine Kang Wu Wan and Concubine An Gao Yurong. Even though she cared about the emperor, it was not her turn to sit in the first row, but she still kept smiling on her beautiful face.
However, the moment she saw Si Nanyan stepping down from the emperor's carriage, that smiling face was like a mask that suddenly fell to the ground.
A crack appeared.
After Nan Yan stopped, she immediately saw the extremely pale face with a hint of panic in the crowd.
Nan Yan could also guess what she was thinking.
I'm afraid she thought she had already climbed into Zhu Feng's bed along the way, so now she is worried whether she will have any status that allows her to compete with her.
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart.
She calmly bowed to them and said, "Greetings to the Queen, and to all the ladies."
Everyone was speechless.
Only Xu Miaoyin smiled and said, "Thank you for taking care of the emperor along the way. It's hard work."
"I dare not."
