Chapter 2309: Teasing the Dog
As soon as he saw the situation, he immediately became furious.
"What are you doing!"
Nan Yan had someone put a chair under the eaves and sat in it with a stove next to her. She held a small bamboo ball in her hand and threw it into the snow.
As soon as she threw it, Princess Xinping ran down happily to pick it up.
After picking it up, he happily handed it back to her. Nan Yan silently combed her hair, helped her brush off the snow foam on her body, and threw the bamboo ball down. Xinping then crawled down to pick it up again.
And so, the cycle repeats itself.
Xinping was sweating profusely from playing, her face flushed red, but she didn't feel tired at all. She kept jumping around, saying, "Mother, hurry up! Mother, hurry up!"
"good!"
Nan Yan raised her hand, and the bamboo ball drew a graceful arc in the air and landed right at the feet of Zhu Feng who was standing at the garden gate.
When she saw Zhu Feng coming with an angry look on his face, Nan Yan hurriedly stood up with the people around her.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Xinping ran over with a giggle and hugged Zhu Feng's legs: "Father!"
Zhu Feng picked her up and picked up the bamboo ball on the ground. He walked back to the eaves and glared at Nan Yan: "Are you treating my daughter like a dog?"
“…”
"Is there any woman like you?"
“…”
Nan Yan pursed her lips, lowered her head and said nothing.
On the contrary, Xinping, who was sitting on Zhu Feng's arm, kept struggling and grabbing the corner of his clothes: "Father, hurry up, throw him out."
"Um?"
"Hurry up!"
“…”
Seeing her expectant look, Zhu Feng was speechless for a moment. He could only put her on the ground, think for a moment, and throw the bamboo ball away.
"Wow!"
She pounced down happily and landed directly in the snow, but she didn't feel cold or painful at all. She happily picked up the bamboo ball and brought it back to him, "Father, come again!"
“…”
Zhu Feng was speechless for a moment.
He turned to look at Nan Yan again, but saw Nan Yan looking at him with raised eyebrows, her eyes seemed to say: Aren’t you teasing the “dog” too?
But, I couldn't resist my daughter's expectant look.
He could only throw the bamboo ball out again. However, his strength was not comparable to Nan Yan's, and this time he threw it directly out of the red wall. Xin Ping jumped up with joy and ran out to pick up the ball happily.
Zhu Feng immediately said, "Come two people, follow her."
"yes."
Tingfu and the others hurriedly followed him out.
Zhu Feng then turned around and saw Nan Yan tilting her head and asking, "Your Majesty, are you going to punish me?"
Zhu Feng coughed lightly.
Then he said, "Why did you think of playing like this?"
Nan Yan said, "This girl is so energetic that she's already causing chaos in Chengqian Palace. Chengxuan has to help the emperor deal with things and can't be disturbed by her all the time, so he can only ask me to look after her. But I—I don't have the energy to accompany her everywhere."
“…”
"That's what I came up with."
“…”
"It's just right that she can jump, so I don't have to spend any energy."
As they were talking, Xinping came back skipping and jumping with the bamboo ball in her hands. Zhu Feng took the ball and this time threw it even farther, so far that even the shadow of the ball could not be seen. Xinping shouted with joy and ran out to find the ball with a group of people in a grand manner.
Looking at her back as she ran away happily, Zhu Feng felt both angry and amused.
Look back at Nanyan again.
The tip of my nose is red from the cold.
So he said, "Let's go inside and sit down. Didn't Wang Baizhi always tell you not to be blown by the wind?"
The two of them walked into the house while talking.
Fortunately, the room was still warm. As soon as Nan Yan entered the room, she sighed with comfort and took off her thick and swollen fur coat. She felt as if she had shed a layer of skin.
Zhu Feng also smiled and took off his wind cloak.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Nian Qiu came in and served them hot tea and pastries.
She lowered her head as much as possible and curled up, but when Zhu Feng looked up and saw her, he immediately frowned.
The murderous aura he exuded was incomparable to that of an ordinary person. This immediately frightened Nian Qiu so much that his hands and feet went limp, and the tea in the cup spilled out.
She was so frightened that she knelt down hastily: "This servant deserves death, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Zhu Feng looked at her coldly.
Nan Yan, who was standing by, was also startled and said hurriedly, "You fool, please get off quickly. We don't need you to serve us here anymore."
Nian Qiu hurriedly retreated.
As soon as she walked out of the room, her eyes turned red instantly. She looked back at the figure in the room, bit her lower lip, covered her face with her hands, and ran out.
Ruoshui happened to be passing by and saw her like this. She asked Ran Xiaoyu in surprise: "Sister Xiaoyu, what happened to Sister Nianqiu?"
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu didn't say anything, just looked at Nian Qiu's back and sighed.
Inside the room, the coldness on Zhu Feng's face had not yet faded as he said, "Didn't I tell you that from now on, when Xinping is around, she is not allowed to serve beside me. Don't let her lead my daughter astray."
Nan Yan said guiltily, "I understand. I will be more careful in the future."
"You, pay attention."
“…”
"My daughter is a true jewel of gold and jade. She cannot be led astray by those with mean minds."
Hearing this, Nan Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "The emperor is teasing her like this, and he's still a princess?"
Zhu Feng snorted coldly.
Nan Yan held the teacup in his hand and said, "However, it's not a good idea to let her make such a fuss all the time. Neither I nor the King of Wei have the energy to look after her, and the Emperor is worried about leaving the maids to take care of her alone. I suggest that we find a teacher to help her with some studies."
"study?"
Zhu Feng frowned slightly after hearing this.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I have thought about letting her go to school, but she is still too young."
"How can she be young? She's almost five years old."
“…”
"It's time for her to learn some manners. Otherwise, she'll be like a wild horse that's been unleashed every day."
Zhu Feng glanced at her coldly.
After a long silence, he said, "Actually, I thought so too. However, Fu Yiting, who used to teach the prince, will be retiring after the New Year. We can discuss Xinping's studies after he leaves."
"Why? I heard that Fu Yiting is a master with profound knowledge."
Zhu Feng snorted coldly, then said, "He's also a master of slapping people with a stick."
“…”
"If you can't recite the text, I'll beat you until your palms are swollen!"
Nan Yan blinked and recalled that Fu Yiting had been teaching the princes and princesses in the court for several years, and Zhu Feng and his brothers seemed to have studied with him.
Nan Yan looked at Zhu Feng and said, "Your Majesty... do you still remember studying with him?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then he coughed lightly and said, "They mentioned it to me."
"……oh."
Nan Yan nodded and finally felt relieved.
Zhu Feng continued, "He teaches in a rigid and harsh way. My daughter cannot bear such injustice."
