Chapter 1234 Pawning Jewelry
After a long time, he sighed and gently stroked her hair: "I want to too."
“…”
"But, is it that easy?"
“…”
Nan Yan was speechless.
This person is too difficult to deal with. Perhaps all this is just the beginning. However, she will continue with Zhu Feng.
Looking up at Zhu Feng's deep gaze, perhaps because he was thinking too much, the wrinkles between his eyebrows unconsciously emerged again.
Nan Yan reached out and gently rubbed him.
Feeling her soft little hands, although not as good as when the imperial doctors and other people massaged him, it still made him very happy. Zhu Feng sighed lightly and closed his eyes.
Nan Yan looked at his tired expression and couldn't help but think of the sachet she found at home.
Originally, I wanted to tell him about the sachet, but now the matter of Zhujian Academy suddenly appeared, and the grand ceremony to open the Da Ci'en Temple will be held in two days. He will definitely be busier and have greater difficulties waiting for him.
Let's wait a while before telling him about this matter.
Nan Yan thought about it and hugged him gently.
The carriage continued to sway forward and slowly drove into the old imperial palace.
The Queen and Eunuch Yu were already waiting at the palace gate with their men. After getting off the carriage, Xu Miaoyin immediately stepped forward and looked at Zhu Chengxuan with a big knot between her brows.
Zhu Chengxuan hadn't expected that she would come to pick him up personally, so he hurried over and knelt down: "Your son pays homage to the Queen Mother!"
“…”
Xu Miaoyin looked at her son kneeling at her feet with a complicated expression. After a long moment, she coughed and said in a hoarse voice, "You—are glad to be back. Did you suffer any injustice in that academy?"
"I apologize for being unfilial and causing Mother to worry. I have not suffered any injustice."
"That's good."
Xu Miaoyin sighed deeply, nodded, and said, "Go back first, take a good shower, and rest for a while."
After saying that, he turned around and instructed Chun'er and Bihe behind him. A group of people immediately came forward and escorted King Wei back to his Chengqian Palace.
Only after seeing his back disappear behind the red wall did Xu Miaoyin turn around.
Zhu Feng also looked at Zhu Chengxuan's back, but said nothing. He only said to Xu Miaoyin, "Queen."
Xu Miaoyin hurried over: "I'm here."
"An additional item will be added to the ceremony on the day of the grand ceremony: a eulogy by the students of Bamboo Academy."
“……!”
Xu Miaoyin was a little shocked and looked up at Zhu Feng.
A eulogy for the students of Bamboo Academy’s sacrificial ceremony?
Hadn't these people previously spread many rumors that were detrimental to the imperial court and the emperor? So soon, they could participate in the grand ceremony of opening the Da Ci'en Temple?
this--
She turned her head to look at Nan Yan again, and seeing Nan Yan nodded at her, she suddenly understood something. Today, when she went to Zhujian Academy, the emperor not only brought back the King of Wei, but he should have also gained other advantages.
In this way, many problems can be easily solved.
She was delighted and immediately said, "I will prepare it right away."
Zhu Feng nodded.
After Xu Miaoyin left, Zhu Feng turned around and glanced at Nan Yan, saying, "Let me take you back to Yikun Palace to rest. You must be tired after running so far with me today."
"yes."
They were about to turn around and leave when Zhu Feng suddenly stopped again. Without looking back, he simply said to the person behind him, "You go back first."
Nan Yan's heart trembled, and she turned her head halfway to see Li Bushang standing not far away.
He remained silent, and after returning, he received neither reward nor punishment, which made everyone almost forget his existence.
However, Zhu Feng will never forget.
He said coldly: "I will settle this matter with you later."
"yes."
He bowed his head in silence, then turned and walked away.
Nan Yan felt a little uneasy, but she didn't say anything. She silently followed Zhu Feng to the harem. After a while, the two arrived at Yiku Palace.
Zhu Feng was about to go in, but he stopped.
He stood at the palace gate and said to Nan Yan, "Eat something first, then have a good sleep."
Nan Yan was stunned: "Where is the emperor?"
"I still have to go to the Imperial Study to take care of some things."
"Then... Your Majesty must also be careful with the dragon body."
"rest assured."
Zhu Feng patted her thin shoulder and watched her go in before turning around and walking towards the imperial study. Eunuch Yu followed behind him and said softly, "Actually, the emperor can also stay in Yikun Palace and eat something before leaving."
Zhu Feng stretched out his hand and rubbed his brow, saying, "Forget it. There are so many things piled up in the imperial study, and I can't let them go."
Eunuch Yu sighed, "Your Majesty has worked so hard."
Zhu Feng said nothing and continued walking forward. As he reached a long path, he saw a young palace maid, clinging to the wall, something in her arms, walking out in a panic. She glanced left and right, looking forward and backward. Suddenly, she looked up and saw the Emperor and Eunuch Yu approaching. She turned pale with fear: "Ah!"
When Eunuch Yu saw her sneaky look, he immediately asked angrily, "What are you doing?"
The little maid was so frightened that she could only kneel down and said, "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng walked over with a frown on his face. Eunuch Yu looked down and said, "You, aren't you serving Concubine Kang's Qin'er in Jianfu Palace?"
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Yu..."
Qin'er was very young, only fifteen or sixteen years old, and had never seen any big scene. She didn't expect that the first time she did such a thing she would run into the emperor. At this time, she was so scared that she was trembling and couldn't speak clearly.
Zhu Feng said coldly, "What are you doing sneaking around like that?"
"Slave, slave..."
"explain!"
Facing Zhu Feng, she did not dare to hide anything and could only carefully pull her hands out of her arms. Zhu Feng then saw that she had a bundle in her arms. When he opened it, he saw some small pearl hairpins and jade rings inside.
Eunuch Yu asked, "Did you steal something?"
"No, I didn't. I wouldn't dare to do that!"
Qin Er hurriedly said, "These were all pawned by Concubine Kang."
"pawn?"
Zhu Feng frowned.
Although the dignified Concubine Kang was not of high rank, she was still a concubine of the second rank or above in the palace. Even if her monthly allowance was not high, she would not have to pawn her things.
Zhu Feng asked, "What's going on?"
Eunuch Yu, who was standing behind him, had a slight flicker in his eyes, and he understood what was going on.
He coughed lightly and stopped talking.
The young palace maid Qin'er trembled and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. In two days, His Majesty will open the Da Ci'en Temple. Concubine Kang intends to light a blessing lantern for His Majesty in the temple, but she doesn't have enough money for the incense, so -"
"Not enough money for incense?"
Zhu Feng frowned: "How could she not have enough money?"
"Because—"
Qin Er stammered, "Because the Imperial Concubine withheld half a year's salary from Concubine Kang."
