Chapter 2208: Long time no see, long time no see
Hearing her words, Nan Yan's eyes flickered slightly.
Nan Yan had felt that Chen Lianxiang was different from others since the first time she saw her in Yonghe Palace. Her difference was not in her outstanding appearance or extraordinary temperament, but that although she was silent, every word she said hit the nail on the head.
Moreover, they all seem to be able to manipulate the atmosphere on the table.
Although she is just a small concubine, it seems that she should not be underestimated.
Furthermore, although she looked respectful and humble, and was cautious with herself, Nan Yan did not forget what she secretly said to Concubine Xi in Yonghe Palace that day, and what Concubine Xi then relayed to her.
Like a knife blade, it was pointing directly at him.
I'm afraid she didn't even realize that she saw that little action.
Just as Nan Yan was looking at her, her mind turning slightly, a familiar voice came from the door -
"What is it that you need my advice on?"
When I looked up, I saw Zhu Feng walking in from outside.
Everyone was shocked.
Naturally, it is also a surprise.
They used to often go to the Imperial Concubine's Yikun Palace, not only to rely on her and flatter her, but also to have the opportunity to see the Emperor at her place. After all, the Emperor came to the harem only a few times, and those times were almost all to the Yikun Palace.
This time, I really caught up.
Everyone was overjoyed and immediately stood up and knelt down to the tall and burly figure who walked in, especially Chen Lianxiang, who was originally standing in front of the imperial concubine, but immediately stepped aside.
Everyone said in unison: "Concubines and others pay their respects to the Emperor."
Xue Yun was standing in the corner and also knelt down at this time.
However, looking at the concubines around her and then looking at her own appearance, she felt an indescribable and difficult feeling in her heart.
Zhu Feng glanced at them and saw Xue Yun.
Then he said, "Everyone, get up."
After everyone thanked him, they stood up. Nan Yan sat on the bed and tried her best to stand up and salute him, but Zhu Feng rushed over and put his hand on her shoulder.
She said softly, "Since it's like this, don't be so polite."
Nan Yan then said softly, "I'm sorry."
Zhu Feng sat down beside the bed, looked at her expression, and then said, "Just woke up?"
"yes."
"How are you?"
"It's okay, but it's still a little heavy."
"It's only natural after sleeping for so long. When you feel better, just walk around more and you'll be fine."
"I know."
Zhu Feng nodded in relief, then turned to look at the group of concubines standing in front of him.
Among these people, except for a few elderly people, although he had seen the others before, he had no impression of them. He only saw the one standing in the front row, who seemed to be Concubine Shen, so he asked, "Were you the one who was talking just now?"
Shen Lianxiang lowered her head and said softly, "Yes."
"What are you talking about? Do you want to ask me for instructions?"
"Well……"
Chen Lianxiang revealed a panicked expression and timidly said, "We, our concubines, heard that the Empress was ill and wanted to go and serve her, but—Yonghe Palace has been sealed since then, and we are not allowed to enter."
“…”
"Therefore, I am begging the Imperial Concubine to ask His Majesty to allow me to serve in Yonghe Palace."
"oh……"
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Said: "You are thoughtful."
A hint of a smile crossed Chen Lianxiang's face, and she said softly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."
"but,"
Zhu Feng continued, "The Queen is really good at making arrangements. The Imperial Concubine has just given birth to a prince and is weak. If there's nothing else, don't bother her."
When everyone heard this, they all said in fear, "Yes."
Zhu Feng continued, "If that's the case, then everyone should leave. Your Highness is tired too."
“…”
Everyone was silent before coming to their senses.
It turned out that the emperor was issuing an "expulsion order".
Everyone couldn't help feeling a little regretful and disappointed. After all, they came here to find a chance to meet the emperor, to say a few words to him, and to show their faces. But who knew they would be driven away after just a few words? They were all somewhat unwilling to accept this.
While everyone was hesitating, Chen Lianxiang had already bowed to the emperor and the imperial concubine.
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
"I hope the Imperial Concubine takes good care of herself, gets plenty of rest, and recovers soon."
Although she was not of the highest rank, once she spoke like this, everyone naturally had nothing to say and could only stand up and salute.
"I'll take my leave."
After saying that, the group of people left.
As soon as they left, the room became much emptier. Zhufeng turned around and saw Xue Yun standing silently in the corner.
"You're here too."
"yes."
Nan Yan then said, "It was I who asked Doctor Xue to stay."
Zhu Feng turned to look at her: "What's the matter?"
"Oh, nothing much. I just gave birth and am still a little weak. I want to ask her how to take care of myself."
Zhu Feng thought for a moment, turned his head, and was about to say something when Nan Yan said, "However, I'm much better now. I just want to have a good rest. There's nothing to bother Doctor Xue with."
As she spoke, she looked up at Xue Yun.
"Doctor Xue, what do you think?"
"yes."
Xue Yun's expression flickered, and he said in a panic, "The Imperial Concubine was frightened during childbirth, which caused her to be weak after childbirth. However, this is not a physical illness. She will recover after a good rest."
"That's right."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "You can go down too."
Xue Yun carefully glanced at Zhu Feng again, bowed his head and said, "I will take my leave."
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, just watched her leave. Her back disappeared outside the gate, then he turned to look at Nan Yan.
"What? Are you still feeling bad now?"
Nan Yan also looked at him.
After a while, she smiled and said, "Actually, I'm just hungry."
“…”
Hearing this, Zhu Feng couldn't help laughing.
He said to the outside: "Okay, bring it in."
I saw a group of people walking in.
Nan Yan looked over and saw that it was people from the imperial kitchen. They came in one after another with food boxes in their hands and placed food on the only small table left in the room.
There were so many things and the table was small that it was soon crowded.
They are all very nourishing foods, and they are cooked with great color, aroma and taste. As soon as they are put out, the tempting fragrance wafts over, making people's mouths whet.
Before Nan Yan could say anything, her stomach had already honestly expressed her current mood.
"Snoring..."
A sound echoed in the quiet room.
She hurriedly reached out to cover her stomach, but it was too late. Zhu Feng looked down at her stomach, a look on his face that was about to smile, and said, "I haven't heard this sound in a long time."
“…”
Nan Yan was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die.
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Long time no see, long time no see."
