Chapter 92 A touch of sweetness
He Yi said softly, "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten anything for most of the day. Why don't you eat something first?"
Zhu Feng's eyes were fixed on the memorial. After a long pause, he said, "Tea."
He Yi glanced over here.
When Nan Yan heard this, she hurriedly and carefully walked to the other side of the hall, brewed a cup of tea, then opened a small drawer and took out a few chrysanthemums and put them in it.
After thinking about it, he put another piece of rock sugar into the tea.
The young eunuch Xiao Shunzi, who was standing by and serving, said, "Lady Si, His Majesty doesn't eat sweets."
Nan Yan said, "Don't worry, this won't taste sweet, but it will make Your Majesty feel more comfortable."
Xiao Shunzi laughed and said, "You are really something."
Nan Yan just smiled, but just as she was about to bring in the cooler tea, she suddenly heard footsteps at the door.
Looking up, I saw Xia Yunting walking in with the palace maid Fulan.
Nan Yan was stunned when she saw her, then hurriedly stepped forward with Xiao Shunzi to pay her respects, "This servant greets Consort Xia."
Xia Yunting smiled and said softly, "Get up."
She looked inside again and whispered, "I heard that the emperor has been handling government affairs until now and hasn't rested yet."
Nan Yan said softly, "This, I don't know either. I just came here."
"oh."
Xia Yunting nodded, and seeing the teacup in her hand, he asked, "Is this the tea the emperor wants to drink?"
Nan Yan nodded.
Xia Yunting immediately smiled and said, "Then, leave it to me. I'll take it to the emperor."
After saying that, he took the teacup from Nan Yan's hand. Xiao Shunzi beside him was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, Nan Yan hurriedly interrupted him and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Empress Zhaoyi."
Xia Yunting smiled and said, "It's really hard for you to serve the emperor. Let me do this little thing."
Nan Yan nodded and took a step back.
Xia Yunting carefully walked to the other side, holding the teacup, and lifted the beaded curtain. A crackling sound made Zhu Feng and the others turn around. When He Yi saw her, she immediately bowed and saluted: "Empress Zhaoyi."
Xia Yunting walked up to Zhu Feng and bowed prostrate, "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng frowned: "What are you doing here?"
Xia Yunting said softly, "I heard that the emperor has been dealing with government affairs. I am worried about his health, so I came to see him."
Zhu Feng watched her walk towards him under the scorching sun, her face sunburned red, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to come here in the future. I know my own health. Get up."
Xia Yunting then stood up and placed the teacup next to him.
Indeed, after dealing with matters for the entire morning without eating or drinking, and having just lost his temper, his throat was indeed burning. Zhu Feng picked up the wine and took a sip.
The tea was unexpectedly refreshing, with a light aftertaste of sweetness, which instantly extinguished the anger in his heart.
He couldn't help but nodded: "This tea is good."
When Xia Yunting heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "As long as the emperor likes to drink it."
Zhu Feng took another sip. The light aftertaste made him feel more comfortable. When he looked at Xia Yunting again, his breathing had calmed down. He asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Concubine, I am worried about Your Highness. How can I eat?"
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Well, Xiao Shunzi, set up the table and let Consort Xia eat here too."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yunting was so delighted that he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
