After spring, the weather in Jiangnan quickly became hot.
Everyone took off their heavy winter clothes, and soon, jackets and overcoats were no longer needed, and they changed into light skirts.
In the garden, the branches are full of emerald green, and flowers of various colors are competing to bloom.
Spring is in full bloom.
Spring is in full swing…
In the Hall of Martial Heroes, Zhu Feng was sitting in front of the table, discussing seriously with several ministers how to survive this year's Yellow River flood season.
Zhu Feng has already made a decree to ask the household department to prepare food for disaster relief, first to transfer to several places that have been severely affected by disasters in previous years, to make preparations, and try not to cause refugees to flee.
And, ask the state capitals to send more manpower.
Nan Yan sat on her seat and looked at that handsome and resolute face through the bead curtain. Although the weather was not yet hot, Zhu Feng was afraid of the heat. Full of sweat.
Nan Yan wanted to bring him a cup of tea, but was concerned that He Yi and Jian Ruocheng were both there.
He could only stare quietly.
When the matter was agreed upon, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The Yellow River floods every year. In the face of this natural disaster, people have no choice but to do their best to reduce the harm to the people.
He Yi, Jian Ruocheng, and several other officials all said, "Wei Chen will retire."
At this time, Zhu Feng said again: "Wait a minute."
Several people stopped and looked up at him.
"What is the emperor's will?"
"Yan Shangshu."
Yan Gu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward immediately: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng said: "On the eighth day of the next month, I am going to confer Nanyan, the daughter of Shangbao, as a noble concubine. You people in the Ministry of Rites will prepare it."
"..."
Nan Yan was stunned.
She didn't expect Zhu Feng to say that directly.
And the people in the Hall of Martial Heroes also fell silent for a moment.
Some people were shocked, some were secretly happy, some were indifferent, and some were contemptuous.
For a moment, many emotions flashed through those shrewd and restrained eyes.
And that old official, Yan Gu, immediately turned his head to look at her behind the bead curtain, frowned his gray eyebrows, and said, "The emperor wants to confer the honorary concubine on Shang Bao?"
"good."
"she-"
Originally, he wanted to say the words "He De He Neng", but after thinking about it, he seemed to feel that it was a bit inappropriate to say that.
After all, judging from the battle report this time, the female officer has made meritorious service.
However, who knows if the emperor deliberately piled the credit on her head in order to canonize her. Before, in the case of the technique of hating victory in the palace, the emperor left her in the Hall of Martial Heroes for a few days.
This female officer has a big problem.
Yan Gu was still thinking about his words, when a low but calm voice came from beside him—
"My minister congratulates the emperor, and congratulates Mrs. Xi."
This voice is Jian Ruocheng.
He stood there and raised his hand to Zhu Feng respectfully.
Zhu Feng smiled at him.
Immediately, He Yi and the others all smiled and congratulated the emperor.
When Yan Gu saw that everyone was congratulating him like this, it seemed that this matter was about to be completed. He frowned and was about to speak when Zhu Feng continued: "On the fifteenth day, I will also canonize the prince Cheng Xuan as the king of Wei."
"..."
"On this matter, the Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China will draw up a booklet."
"..."
He Yi responded immediately: "Yes."
Zhu Feng glanced at each of them and waved his hands: "Go ahead and do it."
"..."
For a while, everyone was speechless.
As soon as Yan Gu heard that Zhu Feng wanted to canonize the prince as King of Wei, this matter was naturally a major event. In comparison, it was nothing to have a concubine in the harem.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally just cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Everyone turned around and walked out of the Hall of Martial Arts.
It's just that Jian Ruocheng's footsteps were slightly heavy, and when he went out, he knocked on the threshold.
After they were all gone, Nan Yan got up, brewed a cup of tea and brought it to Zhu Feng.
He took it and took a sip.
Familiar taste, with a touch of sweetness.
Zhu Feng didn't like sweetness very much before, but after drinking this tea, he seems to be a bit addicted to sweetness.
Nanyan stood aside, helping him organize the paperwork on the table.
Zhu Feng said: "I have never asked you about this cup of tea—at first, you wanted to brew it for me, but Xia Zhaoyi took it, right?"
Nan Yan turned her head and glanced at him, then said softly, "Yes."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"..."
Nan Yan thought to herself, what's the use of saying earlier
Besides, you didn't ask.
Zhu Feng said again: "Later, you taught her?"
"Zhaoyi said that she also likes to drink, let the slaves teach her."
"..."
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, took another sip of tea, and stopped talking about it.
After a while, he said, "However, how did you know you would make this kind of tea?"
Nan Yan said softly: "My maidservant's grandmother often gets angry in summer and loses her appetite. She often drinks this kind of tea, and this maidservant learns to brew it for her."
"..."
"The emperor's physique seems to be easy to get angry, drinking this kind of tea often is also beneficial."
"Um."
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "Speaking of which, the relationship between you and your grandmother is very good."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Of course, since childhood, grandma has loved her slaves very much."
"..."
"It's a pity that she is old and often confused."
"..."
"The last time she went home, she was still a slave and ignored her, so she didn't go home for so long."
Zhu Feng nodded, and said: "In that case, this time you canonize, bring your family members into the palace and let them watch the ceremony."
"..."
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him: "Your Majesty, is it okay?"
Zhu Feng rolled her eyes: "Do you have to doubt everything I say now?"
"No, no," Nan Yan said eagerly, "I just—I just didn't expect it."
Zhu Feng said with a faint smile: "The family members of the imperial concubine can enter the palace to watch the ceremony."
As he spoke, he pulled Nan Yan to his side again, and said with a smile: "Didn't they treat you badly in the past?"
"..."
"Let them see."
"..."
"You, some people treat you well."
Nan Yan couldn't help laughing, and muttered again: "The slaves are not so narrow-minded. But it's good to let them come to watch the ceremony."
"..."
"The slave also wants her old man to rest assured."
Zhu Feng said: "After two days, when the grand ceremony is settled, I will let Xiao Shunzi go to your house to pass the decree."
Nan Yan smiled until her eyes crooked: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After staying in the Hall of Martial Arts for a while, she left and returned to Yeting.
While walking on the road, Nan Yan stopped to take a look when she heard the rustling of flowers and branches beside her.
Over there, there seems to be someone.
But upon closer inspection, there was nothing there.
Are you dazzled
She returned to Ye Ting's own room with some doubts. She was hot and thirsty all the way back, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup and wanted to drink.
