Chapter 916 My Thoughts Are Not Important
It turns out that there is a welcoming banquet tonight.
Although Nan Yan was extremely conflicted and had many puzzles that kept churning in her mind, she appeared to be very calm, as a noble concubine should be.
"Since Prince Ning has arranged it, I would be disrespectful to refuse."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your presence."
Zhu Xuan said this and looked at her again. Although Jian Ruocheng helped her block most of the falling snow in the "accident" just now, some snow still fell on her head and body.
Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's better not to stay outside. It's really cold here."
"That's fine too."
Nan Yan brushed off the snow dust on her body and looked at Jian Ruocheng again.
Then he said, "I will go back first."
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
Zhu Xuan and Jian Ruocheng both bowed to her respectfully, and Nan Yan turned and left.
After watching her back disappear from his sight, Zhu Xuan turned around and looked at Jian Ruocheng with a half-smile, saying, "Still can't forget?"
“…”
Jian Ruocheng didn't say anything.
But the familiar, heartwarming smile on his handsome face slowly faded away.
What gradually replaced it was a cold atmosphere that seemed to be the same as the surrounding environment.
Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "Although it is said that a real man never has trouble finding a wife, I think a person who is loyal and devoted is also very good."
He walked forward and patted Jian Ruocheng on the shoulder.
"Just be patient for one more day."
“…”
"One more day, and maybe she can become yours—"
"Your Highness," Jian Ruocheng interrupted him, his face expressionless, "I don't understand what you mean."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Zhu Xuan immediately laughed and said, "Ruo Cheng, what is there to hide?"
“…”
"Do you think there's anyone in this world who can't see what you're thinking?"
“…”
Jian Ruocheng did not deny it, nor did he refute it.
Just took a deep breath.
Then he said calmly: "My thoughts are not important."
Zhu Xuan looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, "Yes, at this moment, nothing matters."
“…”
"What's important is tomorrow. Once tomorrow comes, everything you want will be yours."
“…”
Jian Ruocheng still said nothing.
But in the midst of ice and snow, a flame seemed to be burning in his eyes.
Although it is not easy to detect, there is a strange, scorching temperature that is frightening in such bitterly cold weather.
He said, "Let's talk about everything tomorrow."
"Of course," Zhu Xuan said with a smile, "The most important thing now is this evening's welcoming banquet."
As he spoke, he looked at Jian Ruocheng: "Are you all ready?"
"I have everything ready."
"Well, that's good."
Zhu Xuan nodded and said, "Tomorrow is so important. From now on, no mistakes can be made. There can't be any accidents at tonight's banquet."
"Yes, I will check again to ensure that no accidents occur."
After Jian Ruocheng finished speaking, he bowed to him and turned to leave.
Zhu Xuan still stood there.
The lakeside, the jade trees, and the white snow all around made his white clothes stand out. Everything looked so clean, as if it were spotless.
However, there was still a hint of dark gloom in his eyes.
Can't disperse.
"In the end, is he really under control?"
Although he had the identity of "Prince Yin Jing" to guarantee this matter, he still couldn't fully believe it.
After all, Zhu Feng was the one who survived the battlefield.
Others may not know how strong his willpower is, but as a brother, he knows it very well.
Being able to defend the bitter cold land of the north for so long, and even confront the Kingdom of Dian, is not something an ordinary person can do.
Although he had already seen Feng Shu's "ability", the most important link in this game was Zhu Feng.
He murmured, "If he really doesn't even love Feng Shu anymore, then is he still under her control...?"

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
In the north, it gets dark earlier than in the south in winter.
Just after the hour of You, it was already dark. Lanterns were quickly hung everywhere in the garden, and the bright red light instantly illuminated the entire garden.
When the time came, Nan Yan dressed up a bit and walked out of her yard.
Because the wind was still blowing, the lanterns under the eaves swayed slightly, and the light and shadows shook, giving people the illusion that the whole world was shaking faintly, which made people feel a little dizzy.
As Nan Yan walked out, she couldn't see clearly and stepped on the broken ice on the steps and almost fell.
"My lady, be careful."
Fortunately, Nian Qiu behind her was smart enough to support her.
Nan Yan was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay."
She raised her head and looked forward. At the moment when she was about to fall, she felt that familiar gaze again, as if it was following her.
And the twilight deepened.
In front of us, we can see bright lights and the faint sound of stringed instruments.
She took a deep breath and said, "Let's go."
Walking to the lobby in front, you can see more clearly that this place is brilliantly lit. Although according to the rules, the size of any prince's residence has strict regulations and cannot be larger than the emperor's palace, but because of its proper layout, this place still gives people a very grand feeling.
Wide entrance and spacious space.
It is effortless to accommodate hundreds of people for a banquet at the same time.
As soon as he reached the door, someone immediately chanted, "The Imperial Concubine has arrived."
Suddenly, everyone in the lobby looked over.
Nan Yan saw Jian Ruocheng in the crowd at a glance. He turned his head to look at her. There was a faint light flashing in his familiar eyes. Although he was still very gentle, there seemed to be a hint of complexity in his gentle eyes.
They all stepped forward and bowed to her: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Nan Yan raised her hand calmly: "No need to be polite."
Jian Ruocheng came up and said, "As expected, the Imperial Concubine has arrived."
Nan Yan smiled. "Prince Ning personally invited me, so how could I not come?" She glanced around and said, "This banquet seems quite well-organized. Second Young Master—he's put a lot of effort into it."
"There."
As the two were talking, the emperor and empress arrived.
Nan Yan took a step back and knelt down with everyone else, saying in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years of the empress."
Zhu Feng walked in and looked at the people here.
He raised his hand calmly: "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone slowly stood up, and Zhu Feng's gaze almost immediately fell on Nan Yan.
