Chapter 411: Keeping Fat
Arslan and his companions stayed in Jinling for several days.
During these days, Zhu Feng held a grand banquet with singing and dancing all day long. When Arslan and his companions finally decided to set off to return to the Kingdom of Dang, both the host and the guests were very happy.
It seemed as if the slight unpleasantness at the banquet that day had long been forgotten.
As for Nan Yan, in order to avoid the embarrassment of meeting Princess Baoyin, or perhaps for some other reason, Zhu Feng did not allow her to attend any banquets. These days, she stayed quietly in the Ye Ting.
In Ran Xiaoyu's words - to fatten up.
Although the meals sent to them by the imperial kitchen were not as exquisite and luxurious as those served to the concubines in other palaces, there was still a different kind of chicken, duck, fish and meat every day, and they tasted delicious. Nan Yan had nothing to do and was greedy, so within two days, her chin had become rounder from eating so much.
That day, she pinched her chubby cheeks in front of the mirror and said with some annoyance, "Xiaoyu, do you think I'm too fat now?"
Ran Xiaoyu had just gotten up and was getting dressed.
Looking at her willow-like waist from behind, he snorted.
Nan Yan said worriedly, "I knew I shouldn't eat like this. If I keep eating, I'll turn into a pig."
“…”
"But the food they sent was so delicious."
“…”
"It would be a shame to throw it away."
Seeing her face full of worry, Ran Xiaoyu couldn't help but roll her eyes. She walked over and pinched her. Although her flesh was a little fleshier than before, it still hurt.
He said coldly, "Farmers raise a pig every year just to celebrate the New Year. If you're like me, you're really losing out!"
"Really? I'm really not fat?"
"Look at that little bit of meat on you, humph!"
Nan Yan finally felt relieved, but she still restrained herself during breakfast and only ate one and a half steamed buns and drank a bowl of porridge.
Just as I put down my bowl with satisfaction, Xiao Shunzi came.
"Lady-in-law."
Nan Yan rarely saw him these days, so she stood up hurriedly and said, "Xiao Shunzi, is there something wrong?"
Xiao Shunzi said with a smile, "The envoy from the Kingdom of Dian is leaving today, and all officials above the third rank will go to see him off, so I want you to go with them."
"Oh? They're leaving?"
If you think about it carefully, since the Kingdom of Dian came here to make peace, everything that needed to be discussed should have been agreed upon in the past few days.
As for the private matters mentioned by Arslan——
I don't know if he has finished it.
She hurriedly got up and walked out.
When they arrived at the main hall, Zhu Feng was sitting there talking with Arslan. Of course, they were not talking about anything important. They were just greetings to the king of the Neng Kingdom and the hope that the two countries would coexist peacefully in the future.
Nan Yan walked over, bowed, and then stood silently behind Zhu Feng.
Arslan looked up and smiled at her.
There was not much smile on Nan Yan's face.
Ever since she first met him at the Si family, Nan Yan had been wary of this person. She wondered who he was looking for in Yan Country, whether he really had any connection with the Si family, and whether this relationship would have any impact on her.
All these made her worried.
After all, she is no longer the lonely little palace maid.
Feeling Arslan's gaze, Zhu Feng also looked back.
At this moment, the timekeeper came forward to announce the time. It was already time for the envoy to leave, so Zhu Feng stood up and said with a smile, "Since the time has come, I will not keep the envoy here in vain."
Arslan also stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
So, the group started walking out.
Nan Yan naturally followed behind Zhu Feng, but there were so many people seeing off guests that she was gradually pushed to the back.
Then I heard a voice in my ear saying, "So you are the daughter of the Si family."
