Chapter 2978 Ignorance is fearless?
Nan Yan's heart suddenly sank.
She looked at Ran Xiaoyu's face, which was so pale that it was almost transparent. Although Ran Xiaoyu was a little impulsive and even irritable, she had a baby face, which was particularly delicate and charming. At this time, the baby face also turned into a porcelain doll, delicate and beautiful, but also fragile.
Nan Yan looked at her in silence for a long time.
Under normal circumstances, Ran Xiaoyu would have noticed the long silence and Nan Yan's deep gaze, but this time, she just sat there blankly, completely unaware of what she had just said and Nan Yan's flickering eyes.
It's like most of the soul has been sucked away.
It was quiet for a long time before Nan Yan slowly stood up and said, "Okay, have a good rest."
“…”
"I have to accompany the emperor to the Jiuqu Tower for a banquet today, so I won't be back until very late."
“…”
"You should have a good rest."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu sat there blankly for a while before she said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nan Yan looked at her again, sighed softly, and turned away.
After returning, she made some preparations. Seeing that it was almost time, she stood up and followed Zhu Feng outside.
When they reached the main gate, they saw a group of people approaching from the other side. It was Xu Miaoming, who was going to be a guest at Jiuqu Tower tonight. She usually only wore a plain long gown at home, but today, she had changed into a Taoist robe and held a whisk in her hand. Seeing Zhu Feng and Nan Yan approaching, she saluted them from a distance: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I bow to you."
Zhu Feng looked her over and said, "Will you go with me and the imperial concubine?"
Xu Miaoming said, "It's best if the host and the accompanying guests don't go together. I've prepared my own horse, so I'd better go ahead of the Emperor and the Empress."
Zhu Feng said: "Okay, go ahead."
Xu Miaoming bowed to them again, then went out and got on the carriage.
After waiting for a while, Zhu Feng took Nan Yan on the carriage and drove towards Jiuqu Tower.
Sitting in the wobbly carriage, Nan Yan was unusually quiet. In fact, unlike in the past, when she arrived at a new place, she always couldn't help but lift the curtain to look at the scenery outside. This time, she sat quietly, as if in deep thought.
Zhu Feng was originally sitting quietly, but when he felt her quietness, he couldn't calm down anymore.
He opened his eyes and turned to look at Nan Yan's deep pupils hidden behind her long eyelashes.
He whispered, "What are you thinking about?"
Nan Yan turned to look at him and said seriously, "I'm thinking about what role Xu Miaoming will play at this banquet tonight."
Zhu Feng curled his lips and said, "Isn't she just a guest?"
Nan Yan raised an eyebrow and said seriously, "Guest companion? Your Majesty, do you think it's that easy to be a guest at a banquet for dignitaries? Often, when the host wants something and can't bring himself to speak, he always asks the guest to speak. When the guest doesn't agree to something, it's the guest who persuades them. The role of the guest is huge."
Zhu Feng smiled.
How could he not know?
You know, when he was enthroned as the King of Yan and thrown into the bitter cold of Peking, he attended many banquets hosted by local powerful gentry. In order to win them over and to raise food and money, he often invited some people who were good at dancing to be his guests at the banquets.
Later, with the crane clothes, these things became easier to handle.
No matter what happens to He Yi in the future or in the present, he always knows that He Yi made an indispensable contribution to the victory of the Jingnan Campaign.
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Then do you think she will help the people from Hang Seng Bank?"
Nan Yan thought about it and said, "I don't know what she will do, nor can I guess. But, from the time she received the invitation this morning until she left just now, in the few hours, she hasn't contacted the emperor since then, except for reporting that she would be accompanying the emperor."
"Um."
"So, she didn't come to ask the emperor what he was going to do in Xiajiang Town this time, and what purpose the emperor wanted to achieve by attending the banquet."
"Um."
"She went without asking any questions."
Hearing these words, Zhu Feng's eyes flashed again.
Nan Yan said, "She is either ignorant and fearless, or she knows more than us."
“…”
"What does the Emperor think?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a while and said, "What do you think?"
Nan Yan said: "She is the sister of Queen Renxiao, she can't be an ignorant person."
Zhu Feng turned his head and looked at her for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, the carriage stopped and both of them shook. Nan Yan immediately asked, "What's going on?"
Xiao Shunzi outside said, "Master, Madam, we're here."
"So soon?"
Nan Yan was still a little surprised, but Zhu Feng had already said, "This town is so small, how long can the carriage take?"
After saying that, he lifted the curtain and jumped down, then turned around and took her hand and got out of the carriage.
The two men had just stood there when they heard a burst of warm greetings coming from the stone steps at the entrance of Jiuqu Tower. "Hey, you two, it must be Mr. and Mrs. Huang, right? We have been waiting here to welcome you. We apologize for not coming here to greet you!"
Both of them looked up.
I saw a thin middle-aged man standing on the steps. He was dressed in a green shirt and a small hat, with a neatly trimmed beard. He was obviously an accountant. He walked over with a smile on his face, bowed to Zhu Feng, and bowed to Nan Yan.
"Master Huang, Madam, I'm sorry for not coming to greet you."
Zhu Feng glanced at him, then looked at the several young and strong men in short clothes guarding the door beside him. They were obviously their people, and one of them was Zheng Qun, who brought people to burn down Gaosheng Inn that night.
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then he said calmly, "You are the people from Hengsheng Bank?"
"Exactly."
The person standing at the door to greet the guests was none other than the accountant Tan Boyun. He raised his hand and said, "Our boss has a banquet on the second floor and has been waiting for you. Please come in."
Zhu Feng took the first step into the Jiuqu Tower.
Jiuqulou is considered the best restaurant in Xiajiang Town, but it is only the best in a small town after all. For people like them who come from the capital, it is naturally nothing. But as soon as he walked in, Zhu Feng found that the entire restaurant was filled with people who were dressed similarly to the strong men at the door, and there was not a single customer.
Even the restaurant owner and waiter were standing far behind the counter.
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows: "This is——"
Tan Boyun smiled and said, "We invited Mr. Huang here today to discuss important matters. In order to prevent any idlers from disturbing our interest, our shopkeeper has fortunately reserved the Jiuqu Tower."
Nan Yan frowned.
