Chapter 3544 The person Zhu Feng has been waiting for
As a result, the eyes of the whole world seemed to be focused on a small steep northern slope. No matter whether it was Yan State or Yue State, there seemed to be a layer of dark clouds pressing down on their heads. The oppressive feeling of impending storm also weighed on everyone's heart.
Everyone seemed to be holding their breath.
In this situation, even Princess Shinpei, who is usually carefree, sighs every day and even feels uneasy when eating.
On this day, it was a rare occasion that Nan Yan came to have dinner with her. Because Her Royal Highness the Princess had no appetite in the past few days, the kitchen specially made some sour and spicy cold dishes for her. However, Xinping still had little interest in the table full of delicious dishes. She just picked up a little mixed shredded meat with chopsticks and put it in her mouth to chew.
Nan Yan watched her like this and couldn't help but frowned and said, "Eat well."
Xin Ping said, "I can't eat."
Nan Yan said with a sullen face, "You can't eat such delicious food? It's better to starve you."
Xinping pouted and said, "But I really can't eat it."
These days, let alone eating, she couldn't even sleep. Every night, countless doubts were like being placed on her pillow. As soon as she lay down on the bed, those questions kept rolling in her mind like boiling water bubbling, disturbing her sleep.
Under normal circumstances, Nan Yan would have made her stand up as punishment, but this time, seeing her daughter's worried look, she put down her chopsticks and said, "Are you still worried about the questions your father will ask you?"
Xinping pouted and nodded slightly.
Nan Yan couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, "Haven't figured it out yet?"
He said calmly, "I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try. We ship so much food over there every year, and our people barely have enough to eat. How come they don't have enough to eat either? Where does all the food go? Could it all just disappear into thin air?"
Seeing that she was so furious, Nan Yan felt both angry and amused in her heart.
This girl is smart, but she is impatient.
Does it really look like yourself?
She thought about it and said, "Then, didn't you ask your father?"
Xinping pouted and said, "Didn't Father and Mother both tell me to use my brain to figure it out first? If I can't figure it out, I can ask. What if I get scolded?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Your father went through so much trouble and risked so much to rescue you. How could he bear to scold you?"
Xinping thought for a moment and muttered softly, "Then I won't bother to bother you either."
“…”
"Father has been in the study the past two days and has had little time to rest."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Oh, you've become sensible. Since you're sensible, just eat your meal obediently. No matter what problems lie ahead, you still have to eat. Otherwise, if you get too hungry, your brain won't work properly."
Xinping pouted and could only pick up the bowl and chopsticks again, but looking at the table full of delicious food, she still had no appetite.
Nan Yan couldn't help but say, "I wish you could be as quiet as you are now when you used to clamor for candied haws."
Xinping looked up at her and said, "Tanghulu is delicious. If I could have a string of Tanghulu right now, I would also like to eat it."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard hurried footsteps coming from outside. It was lunchtime, and few people were walking around in the courtyard. Nan Yan turned her head as soon as she heard the footsteps. She saw De Lu, with a look of joy on his face, running in from outside. He ran all the way to the door and said breathlessly, "Mother, Mother, Your Highness."
Nan Yan said, "It's no big deal. You're running so hard you're almost out of breath. Wait until you catch your breath before you talk."
De Lu leaned against the door frame to get up, then hurried in, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Emperor wants you two to come over."
"emperor?"
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
She had just gone to the study to take a look and asked Zhu Feng if he wanted to stay in the study, so she came here to accompany Xinping for dinner. Why did he suddenly come to call them again, and asked them both to come over.
Could it be that something big happened?
Xinping was thinking the same thing, his face changed, and he asked, "Is there a war?"
But Delu laughed and said, "That's not the case, but His Royal Highness the King of Han has arrived."
"What?!"
Nan Yan was surprised and delighted, and quickly stood up from the stool: "Cheng Jun? He's here?"
Xinping also opened his eyes wide: "Why is my brother here?"
De Lu smiled and said, "I don't know about that. His Royal Highness the Prince of Han has just arrived and is meeting him in the study. The Emperor has sent someone over to pass on a message, asking Your Majesty and the Princess to hurry over to see him."
The two were so surprised that they didn't care about the food on the table. They immediately tidied it up, and Nan Yan took Xin Ping to the study.
Along the way, they saw a lot of people walking around in the mansion. They were all from the palace, and were obviously people brought by the King of Han. When they saw the imperial concubine and the eldest princess, they all stepped aside and saluted. They walked quickly all the way and soon arrived at the study.
As soon as I walked in, I saw Zhu Feng sitting behind the desk, and Han King Zhu Chengjun was standing in front of him, looking like he was answering something.
Nan Yan said, "Cheng Jun."
Upon hearing his mother's voice, Zhu Chengjun immediately turned around, revealing a dark face full of youthfulness.
It has been more than half a year since they last saw each other, which is not a short time. Moreover, children of his age are in the period of growth and change almost every day. When he turned around, Nan Yan even felt a little unfamiliar.
Compared to before he left, he had grown half a head taller and appeared thinner, though his shoulders were clearly broader. His eyebrows and eyes had grown more mature, giving him some of Zhu Feng's sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, making him truly handsome. However, he had become quite tanned, and his youthful face, due to his dark skin, exuded a fierce aura.
However, when he saw his mother, he smiled with his eyes curved and looked like a child again.
"mother!"
Nan Yan didn't even bother to salute the emperor. She hurried forward, grabbed her youngest son's arm, looked him up and down, and smiled until her eyes were a little hot. She said, "You, why are you here?"
After Zhu Chengjun returned from the northwest, Zhu Feng had sent him to the military camp to train him. He had clearly not been slacking off these days, and his skin had become not only darker but also rougher. However, when he smiled, his white teeth revealed a pure and happy expression. He said, "I received a letter from my father and came here immediately."
"letter?"
Nan Yan was stunned and looked up at Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng was seen sitting behind the desk, his eyes slightly curved, watching the mother and son reunion. When he saw Nan Yan looking at him, he smiled.
Nan Yan suddenly came to her senses.
Cheng Jun is the person Zhu Feng has been waiting for...?
