Chapter 832 Your Majesty, Who Are You Helping?
At this time, Ye Zheng, who was standing on the other side, was about to come over with some tea and snacks. When he heard Zhu Xuan talking to Ran Xiaoyu like this, he was completely stunned.
Ran Xiaoyu's brows were twisted into a big knot.
His expression was as if he had eaten a fly.
"Your Highness Prince Ning, what do you mean?"
"Hey, I don't have any other intentions. I just saw that Miss Xiaoyu had a poor appetite, so I brought you some delicious food."
“…”
"You know, seasickness is not a pleasant thing, and Miss Xiaoyu has the important responsibility of taking care of the little princess. If you get sick, won't the little princess be affected as well?"
“…”
This statement is naturally very reasonable and no one can find fault with it.
But Ran Xiaoyu's brows furrowed even tighter.
Because, she subconsciously looked to the side, and saw Ye Zheng, who was originally standing aside and looking at her blankly, lowered his head at this time, and after a while, he actually turned around and walked to the side.
“…”
I couldn't help but grit my teeth.
Although I said before that I didn't want to talk to that person for a whole year, but now——
She wanted to drag that guy over and beat him up for a whole year!
Looking at the smiling Prince Ning in front of her, and then at the plate of exquisite pastries, Ran Xiaoyu said coldly: "I don't eat sweets."
“…”
This time, Zhu Xuan was also stunned.
You know, an ordinary palace maid would not speak to a prince like this.
They were busy flattering and relying on him. After all, Zhu Xuan was a young and handsome man. If they could follow him, they would never have to worry about food and clothing in their lives, and they would enjoy endless wealth and glory.
However, Ran Xiaoyu was not polite at all.
Although Zhu Xuan had met many women, he had never seen a girl who was so cold and even dismissive to him. He was stunned for a moment.
Ran Xiaoyu said coldly: "Your Highness Prince Ning, please eat by yourself."
After saying that, he hugged little Anping and coaxed her gently.
Although he was treated coldly, Zhu Xuan was not embarrassed as he wandered among the flowers. Just at this moment, Nan Yan came over and sat down, so he got up and left.
As he walked, he looked back at Ran Xiaoyu.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning has been hanging around you these past two days."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu didn't say anything, but turned her head to look to the side.
Ye Zheng’s figure could no longer be found.
She gritted her teeth and said, "This useless thing!"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "What's wrong? Didn't you say you didn't want to talk to him for a year? Why are you looking for him now?"
"Who said I'm only one year——"
Ran Xiaoyu spoke subconsciously, but halfway through her words, she immediately said, "Who said I was looking for him?!"
Nan Yan laughed.
Just as he was laughing, Ye Zheng came back.
There were two people following him, who turned out to be waiters called from a restaurant not far away. They directly brought them several plates of delicious food and a pot of wine.
Ye Zheng said, "Eat this."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at these things and couldn't help laughing.
She had been watching from the side just now and thought that Ye Zheng was going to "retreat when faced with difficulties", but unexpectedly, he did not retreat but advanced.
That's true. Although his status is not as noble as His Royal Highness Prince Ning's, in fact, as Zhu Feng's confidant, his future may not be worse than Zhu Xuan's.
There is no need to feel ashamed of yourself.
At this moment, he said to Ran Xiaoyu with a smile: "If you don't like sweet food, then have some of these dishes, which are just out of the pot."
"What's the point of coming now? What were you doing just now?"
"I, I'll go—"
"Hmph! I won't talk to you again next year!"
After saying that, Ran Xiaoyu left him and walked away.
Ye Zheng hurriedly followed and said anxiously, "Why did it change to the year after next? Didn't you say before that you only needed to not talk to me for a year?"
"Shut up!"
Nan Yan sat in the pergola, laughing so hard that she fell over.
At this moment, Zhu Feng also came over and sat down. Looking at her, he said, "What are you laughing about so happily?"
Nan Yan told him what had just happened.
Zhu Feng couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Said: "Ye Zheng, this brat, has become more cunning after encountering such a thing."
After saying that, he looked at the steaming food on the table.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, what Prince Ning said to Xiaoyu—it can't be true."
"This..." Zhu Feng glanced at Zhu Xuan, who was chatting and laughing with a few young palace maids not far away, and said lightly: "I don't know about this."
“…”
"My younger brother is a playboy and a dissolute man."
“…”
"Even Emperor Gao couldn't control it."
“…”
"If he really has his eyes on Ran Xiaoyu——"
Nan Yan immediately said, "Your Majesty, who will you help?"
"help?"
Zhu Feng frowned slightly: "Do you think I would still care about such a thing?"
Nan Yan said, "Of course, the emperor has to take care of state affairs. However, I was just wondering, if one is Prince Ning and the other is Ye Zheng, if they both have feelings for Xiaoyu, what will the emperor do?"
"Arrange?" Zhu Feng asked, "Do you think that someone can arrange for this girl next to you?"
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned and subconsciously looked at Ran Xiaoyu on the other side.
Ye Zheng was trying to smile at her, but Ran Xiaoyu ignored her completely.
Indeed, Ran Xiaoyu's temperament is not something that can be manipulated by others.
Zhu Feng said, "She always thinks of you and puts you first in everything she does, but I'm afraid no one can arrange her own affairs."
Nan Yan said softly: "The Emperor also——"
"With her character, I can't bear to embarrass her."
“…”
"I just hope she can make her own choice."
Seeing that Ran Xiaoyu was at her wit's end due to Ye Zheng's entanglement, Nan Yan simply reached out and twisted his arm hard, making Ye Zheng grimace in disbelief, but she couldn't help but smile faintly.
He whispered, "I hope she will make the right choice."

After they got on the boat, they sailed south along the river.
Half a month later, we arrived in Jinling.
At this time, the weather in Jinling was getting warmer. The sky was clear and the sun was shining. The trees along the way were dyed with new green, and people also changed into thinner clothes.
The entire city of Jinling was in an uproar because of the emperor's return.
From the pier to the palace, the people on the roadside knelt to welcome the imperial carriage. When he returned to the palace, the harem, led by the empress, and the front court, led by Lord Heyi, the left chancellor of the Secretariat, came to receive him.
Zhu Feng stood on the carriage, watching the people in front of him kneel down and shout "Long live the emperor!" He waved his sleeve lightly and said, "Everyone, stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Only then did they stand up.
Zhu Feng got off the carriage.
Nan Yan's carriage followed behind, and she also got off the carriage. Behind her were Ran Xiaoyu and the others, who also got off with Princess Anping in their arms. At this time, the ministers in the court knelt down again: "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, and to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Nan Yan nodded gently: "Everyone, please stand up."
She took a look.
Jian Ruocheng was not in the crowd.
