Chapter 2921 A rare pleasure
When Nan Yan heard this, she was even more surprised and delighted.
Zhu Feng had said before that she would arrange a marriage for Zhu Chengxuan and Gu Qiqing, but the Crown Prince had to observe a three-year mourning period for Empress Renxiao, so she knew that this marriage would not happen so quickly.
Not to mention the suffering of the two children, if we wait another three years, Gu Qiqing will be no longer young.
To say I'm not worried would be a lie.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Feng actually suggested that they get engaged first.
This couldn't be better.
So he smiled and said, "This, this is really great."
As she spoke, she picked up another piece of food for Zhu Feng and said with a smile, "I thought the Emperor would make sure the Crown Prince completed his mourning period before discussing his marriage."
Zhu Feng said, "We have to wait until the mourning period is over before discussing marriage. What I'm talking about right now is only an engagement; they can't consummate their marriage yet."
"I understand."
“…”
"I just didn't expect that the emperor would be so considerate, hehe."
Zhu Feng glared at her and said unhappily, "How can I not be considerate? Your family is trying to find a way to help them meet. If I don't give them some status, if something goes wrong, it will be my loss of face!"
When Nan Yan heard this, she was shocked.
He whispered softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"That's right."
Zhu Feng said, "I know your brother secretly arranged for them to meet."
“…”
"Humph, you still want to hide this from me?"
Nan Yan was so frightened that she quickly stood up and said politely, "Your Majesty, please don't blame my brother. I asked about it later, and my brother only let them meet once, with a maid accompanying them the entire time. They didn't do anything inappropriate."
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng immediately waved his hand and motioned her to sit down.
Then he said, “I don’t know this yet?”
“…”
"If the Crown Prince really dares to do something like that during the mourning period, he won't be able to be the Crown Prince anymore!"
At this point, he sighed and said, "I also came here when I was very young. I know what it means to miss someone so much. It's okay to let them meet."
“…”
"It's just that your brother shouldn't do these things behind my back."
Nan Yan said hurriedly, "I will definitely send someone to his house to scold him later."
Zhu Feng said, "There's no need to scold him. Find an opportunity to give him a warning, so he doesn't take advantage of his royal status to do evil things in the future. I haven't settled accounts with him about his childhood yet, but I'll settle them all when the time comes!"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I understand."
Zhu Feng used a spoon to cool the porridge in his bowl slightly, then ate a few mouthfuls with some side dishes. Then he said, "Well, if you agree, I will officially issue an order to the Ministry of Works. It would be best if the prince's residence is repaired before winter comes, so he can leave quickly."
Nan Yan reached out and pinched the back of his hand.
"Your Majesty, stop talking about children like that!"
Zhu Feng also smiled.
He took the handkerchief offered by Ruoshui and wiped his mouth, then said, "Okay, I'm going back to the imperial study. You can eat slowly."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Nan Yan also stood up and walked to the door, watching his back disappear into the twilight, a faint smile still hanging in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and said softly: "This, it seems like a big family."
In the next few months, Nan Yan felt unusually comfortable.
Although she also knew that there had been two more battles on the border, they were both minor skirmishes, and Zhu Feng had not told her the news from within the Kingdom of Neng, but from the fact that no major battle had ever been organized on the other side of the Great Wall, she could infer that Zhu Feng's previous arrow had caused Monk considerable suffering.
Moreover, his country must have experienced the same political chaos after Zhu Feng was assassinated and fell into a coma.
But unlike Zhu Feng, his previous dynasty did not have a prince like the King of Wei who was capable of handling government affairs. After Xiu Yun left, there was no concubine who could stand up and intimidate the harem.
Therefore, the chaos caused by Zhu Feng's injury only lasted for a few dozen days.
However, the chaos in the country of Neng has not been resolved for several months.
This was as if the knife used to cut the stone, along with its consequences, were returned to him exactly as it was.
In the country of Yan, the Earth Immortal Society, which had caused such a big stir in the capital, soon disappeared due to the search by the three squads of detectives in the capital, as if it had never existed.
Of course, Nan Yan knew that this was impossible.
The man behind the scenes, when he was in Shazhouwei, instigated the bandits of Reyuewan to rebel against the imperial court. After their defeat, they quickly withdrew. However, this time, they did not expect that the prince would catch Long Tingyun halfway.
However, after Zhu Feng interrogated Long Tingyun once, he put this man under strict custody.
No one was allowed to contact him, and no one knew the results of the interrogation.
Although Nan Yan had no intention of interfering in politics, she had experienced several major events after all, and she understood that a woman who followed Zhu Feng, especially one who wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, could not really be ignorant of everything, so she also wanted to find out intentionally or unintentionally.
But this time, Zhu Feng kept his mouth shut and didn't mention a single word to her.
Although she didn't know what he asked, Zhu Feng's attitude said it all. He didn't want anyone to know.
Moreover, he had said something very strange before -
"If I can beat him once, I can beat him a second time."
It seemed as if he had fought with the person behind him.
Of course, the two had fought before in Shazhouwei, but Zhu Feng's words always made her feel that there seemed to be some deeper meaning.
But since he didn't say it, Nan Yan had no choice but to let it go.
After all, he is the one who makes the decisions on important matters.
As a result, Nanyan's days seemed much more leisurely. Summer soon came to an end, and the autumn in the capital, although beautiful, was very short. At the end of November, the first winter snow fell, and the Ministry of Works reported that the construction of the Prince's Mansion was about to be completed.
Nan Yan heard the news when the prince came over to have dinner with her and her two younger brothers and sisters.
She looked at Zhu Chengxuan with a smile and said, "Okay."
“…”
"This way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to take charge of things on his own sooner. I also heard that the Emperor has issued an order to host a banquet for a certain official and his family the day after the move, and even the Emperor wants to take me along."
Zhu Chengxuan's face turned red when he heard her words.
Princess Xinping, who was sitting nearby, heard her mother's words and looked at her brother, whose ears were red. She suddenly shouted, "I know who mother is talking about. It's my uncle and sister Qiqing!"
She often went to Gu's house to play and was already familiar with them.
When Zhu Chengxuan heard the word "Qiqing", he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Xinping pointed at him and said, "Haha, brother is blushing!"
