Chapter 3153: Rowing against the Current, If You Don’t Advance, You Will Retreat
"That's good,"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Although the outside world is so chaotic these days, the emperor has always been thinking about this place."
Zhu Feng couldn't help but glare at her.
Nanny Su is old and doesn't know much about matters between men and women, but after all, she has served in the palace for so many years, and she is not unfamiliar with the jealousy between concubines, not to mention that what the imperial concubine said was too obvious.
She didn't dare to respond easily, so she just smiled and took a step back.
Zhu Feng snorted coldly and walked forward.
Master Shangshan gave a few instructions to the little Taoist boys behind him, asking them to help the people on the boat get ashore, while he followed behind Zhu Feng and Nan Yan to serve them.
Walk up the stone steps and when you look back, you can still see boats sailing back and forth on the misty lake.
Zhu Feng asked, "How are things going on your side?"
Master Shangshan immediately said, "The fourth group of people has been dispatched here. The two Langya Islands and the main ferry crossings of Tiangang Lianhuanwu are already occupied."
Zhu Feng nodded: "Okay."
Master Shangshan continued, "However, Xingluo Lake is too vast, dotted with islands and reefs. Furthermore, Luo Xingwen intentionally took the map of Tiangang Lianhuanwu with him when he left, which is indeed a problem. If we don't quickly deploy troops to all the checkpoints, it could be exploited by someone with ulterior motives, which would be a disaster. Therefore, I earnestly request that the emperor send more troops."
Zhu Feng said, "Don't worry about that. I have already issued a written order. Just wait a few more days and new troops will arrive."
Master Shangshan said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After a while, they arrived at the Imperial Tomb Temple.
There is no change here at all. The houses are still there, the people are still there, even the light mist under the eaves is the same as when I came here a few years ago.
Although Zhu Feng came here naturally to discuss the next arrangements for Xingluo Lake with Shangshan Master and others, due to his busy schedule in the past few days, he only rested for one night in Xu Miaoming's house, and then took a car here. He looked a little tired, so Shangshan Master urged him to let the emperor and the imperial concubine rest for a while.
The room arranged for them to sit and rest was also the room they lived in back then.
Nan Yan walked in and saw that the furnishings inside had not changed. She smiled and said, "If there is a place in this world where time stands still, it would probably be this Imperial Tomb Temple."
Zhu Feng held the armrest of the chair and slowly sat down.
Hearing her say this, he also looked around and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I will bring you here and never leave for the rest of your life."
"real?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan immediately walked over to him, squatted down, and placed her hands on his knees, resting her chin on them. "Your Majesty, are you really willing to come here with me?"
I originally thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect Nan Yan to be serious.
Zhu Feng looked down at her and smiled, "Do you want to?"
Nan Yan blinked when she heard this, looked around, and said, "I really do want to."
“…”
"Your Majesty has been extremely hard-working this time. I really wish there was a place where time would stop, where Your Majesty and I could rest and spend some peaceful days together."
You know, Nan Yan was originally an energetic person.
In the past, she served as a horseman and traveled all over the country, but she never complained about the hardship.
But this time, although she said that she was working hard, it can be seen from her wanting to have a good rest in one place and spend some peaceful days that she was also working very hard.
Zhu Feng reached out and stroked her face: "You've really suffered."
Nan Yan smiled at him.
Then she said, "But I also know that the Emperor will not agree."
"Why?"
"Your Majesty still has so many important things to do. If Your Majesty takes even one day off, a hundred small matters will pop up all over the world. If Your Majesty doesn't deal with them for a day, these hundred small matters will become ten major matters. By then, won't your life be even more tiring?"
After that, she concluded, "Being an emperor is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind."
Zhu Feng laughed: "You are quite experienced."
Nan Yan said, "Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run."
Zhu Feng, hearing her vulgar words, couldn't help but twist her mouth with the hand that was caressing her cheek. "You have such a mouth! You make being an emperor look like a pig running around. I think you deserve a lesson."
When talking about the "lesson" that night, Nan Yan's face turned red.
However, the Taoist children in the Taoist temple came in immediately to serve water and tea, and the two of them didn't say anything more. After resting for a while, Zhu Feng couldn't sit still after all, so he got up and went to the front to talk to Master Shangshan and others.
On Nanyan's side, in addition to Ruoshui, Master Shangshan specially instructed a little disciple to come and take care of the imperial concubine. The disciple was a Taoist boy of about eleven or twelve years old. He was as thin as a skinny monkey, but had big eyes, and looked a bit like the way Tingfu looked when he first came to her.
Although he knew that Tingfu must have been taken care of in the Jinling Palace, he was still a little worried about him, especially the injury on his hand. When leaving Xiajiang Town, Zhu Feng sent a team of people to help Li Bushang maintain the defense of Jinling City. Nan Yan also specially asked someone to bring a box of medicine to Tingfu.
Seeing this little Taoist boy, she couldn't help but feel pity for him.
I took out some food I brought with me to tease him.
At this time, Madam Su walked to the door of the chastity room and saw Nan Yan playing with the child. She paused for a moment, but Nan Yan had already seen her and said with a smile, "Madam, is there anything wrong?"
Nanny Su came in immediately to pay her respects.
Nan Yan saw her expression and knew that she was here to reply to Zhu Feng. She smiled and said, "Are you here to report to the Emperor about Concubine Ning?"
When Qin Ruolan was mentioned, Nanny Su's face darkened slightly.
When they first met, the Imperial Concubine was full of jealousy when she spoke, and Nanny Su was afraid of provoking her again, but Nan Yan smiled, as if she didn't care at all, and said: "You don't have to be so jealous, the people have already left, and I am not a cruel person, and I won't care about these things."
Nanny Su immediately said, "I understand."
After saying that, she wanted to leave.
But Nan Yan said, "But please wait a moment. I still have something to ask you."
Nanny Su raised her head and looked at her carefully.
Nan Yan's expression grew serious. She looked her up and down, then said, "I know you used to serve Concubine Qin. So how much do you know about her?"
“……!”
When the name "Noble Concubine Qin" was mentioned, Su Ma's face showed an even more frightened expression.
