Chapter 389 Do you still remember to come back?
The carriage sped along the quiet streets and returned to the palace even faster than before.
The other palace gates were all closed, only the South Palace Gate was still open. Nan Yan leaned on the carriage window and saw Xiao Shunzi greet the guards, and then the carriage drove forward.
The carriage stopped only when it could not go any further.
Nan Yan was helped out of the carriage by them.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened. Someone handed Xiao Shunzi a lantern, but it could only illuminate the small area in front of him. The surroundings were pitch-black night, and the cold wind blew, bringing a biting chill.
I've never felt so cold.
Someone came over and whispered something to Xiao Shunzi. Xiao Shunzi responded and then said softly, "Lady Si, please follow me."
Nan Yan hurriedly followed him.
As they walked along, although they could not see the surrounding scenery clearly, they were familiar with these roads as they had walked back and forth so many times. They were heading towards Wuying Palace.
From a distance, you can see the bright lights inside.
Zhu Feng actually did not favor any of the palace concubines, but stayed in Wuying Palace.
Nan Yan felt a little sad for some reason, but also a little happy. However, when she thought about it again, it seemed that there was nothing worth being happy about.
She coughed lightly and just at that moment, she had already reached the door.
Xiao Shunzi pushed open the door, went in and reported, and Nan Yan took off her outer coat and walked in.
As soon as I entered the door, I felt a wave of heat.
Of course, there was still a scorching hot fire in the palace.
Zhu Feng was sitting at the desk, actually reading memorials!
Today is New Year's Eve, and every family is reunited and having fun. Even if he doesn't go to favor the palace concubines, he wouldn't come here to read the memorials, right?
Nan Yan frowned slightly, but immediately stepped forward and said, "This servant pays homage to His Majesty."
Zhu Feng grabbed the edges of the memorial with both hands, not even looking up: "You still remember to come back?"
Nan Yan was so frightened that she quickly knelt down.
"I acknowledge my guilt."
“…”
Zhu Feng raised his head and glared at her angrily: "Look at what time it is! I told you to come back after eating the New Year's Eve dinner. Are you hoping that you can eat this meal until next year?"
"I dare not."
"Or is there not enough food for you in the palace?"
“No, no…”
His barrage of scolding left Nan Yan at a loss as to how to explain.
I could only kneel on the ground and endure his scolding.
After all, she had just come out of the wind and was still feeling cold, and the room was too warm. The shock of cold and heat made her sneeze uncontrollably.
"Ah—choo!"
Zhu Feng frowned and threw the memorial aside: "What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"
"I didn't," Nan Yan shrank her neck in fear after another breach of etiquette in front of the emperor. "Maybe she just came in from outside. It's a bit cold outside."
“…”
Zhu Feng glared at her for a while.
Then he said, "Go pour some tea."
"ah?"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment and looked up at him.
Under the candlelight, that tough and handsome face was filled with a cold and awkward expression: "Why, do you want me to pour it for you?"
"No, I dare not!"
Nan Yan jumped up from the ground, ran to the side, poured a cup of boiling hot tea, and drank it hot.
Immediately, I felt the coldness in my body was dispelled.
She sighed comfortably, then hurried back to the table and stood there properly.
Zhu Feng glared at her for a while before saying, "Why are you back so late?"
