A token of love
Nan Yan only felt his brain explode with a buzzing sound.
Everyone knows that she is a Shang Bao female official, and her duties are not in the inner court. She can indeed be married, but—
She looked at Zhu Feng in front of her, and slowly raised her head. There was no light in those deep eyes, and she looked at her coldly. Those cold eyes almost froze her.
She subconsciously said: "No, no..."
"No?"
Madam Tong immediately said, "Is there really not?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a maid serving beside her said, "Madam, there are. That day, Mr. Tong sent a lot of things to the residence of the lady official."
Another maid also said, "That's right, we saw that the ladies are all put away."
"..."
Nan Yan raised her head and looked at them: "That's—"
Before she finished speaking, Zhu Feng's cold voice was heard from the lobby. Although it was not loud, it cut off her words like a knife shining with cold light.
"What did you give?"
As soon as these words sounded, everyone around them shivered subconsciously.
But Zhu Xuan was the quickest to react, he hurriedly said to Tong Jie: "Yes, you gave something to the lady officer, and report it to His Majesty the Emperor."
Tong Jie shook his clothes and knelt down, and said: "Report to the emperor, Caomin, Caomin gave the lady a jade hairpin, two pieces of silk, a pair of jade bracelets, and a box of rouge..."
He reported one by one the things that were sent to Nanyan's room that day.
Every time he said the same thing, Zhu Feng's expression darkened.
After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the lobby. Mrs. Tong laughed and said softly, "Oh, what are you talking about as a token of love? This is simply a betrothal gift."
bride price!
These two words were like needles, piercing into the person's chest.
Nan Yan hurriedly said: "No, it's not. These things are not what I want!"
Mrs. Tong smiled and said: "Miss officer... This woman is naturally embarrassed to mention this matter. However, our intentions are true. Mistress, please don't let Ah Jie down because of shyness." Sincerely."
Zhu Xuan also smiled and said: "Yes, Miss Si, although those things are not what you want, but the etiquette is light and the affection is heavy. Tong Jie's heart is now confessed to you."
Nan Yan frowned, then looked back at Tong Jie who was kneeling on the ground, the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly raised, and immediately understood what was going on.
At this time, Zhu Xuan had already walked to the center of the hall, bowed his hands to Zhu Feng, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a merciless request from you."
Zhu Feng raised his eyes to look at him, and said in a cold voice, "Oh? What kind of merciless request?"
"Tong Jie is the brother-in-law of my minister. Although he is a grassroots man, he has a high reputation in Yongzhou City. He himself wants to be an official and wants to serve the country. Now that he is in love with the female official, my brother wants to invite the emperor Marry him."
Marriage again
Nan Yan felt that she was about to faint first. When she was at Jian's house before, Jian Tongguang asked Zhu Feng to marry him to Jian Ruocheng. Now it's even better, Zhu Yan actually wants the emperor to marry him to Tong Jie? !
She suddenly knelt up straight and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Jing, the important matter of my marriage—"
Zhu Xuan glanced sideways, and immediately interrupted her: "Of course it's up to the emperor to decide."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Nanyan to speak, he turned his head to Zhu Feng and said, "Brother Huang, when I was in Jinling, I wanted to ask Brother Huang for Yanyun's fiefdom, but it couldn't be done; this time, The minister begged for a female official for my brother-in-law, wouldn't it be - wouldn't it work?"
