Nan Yan's heart was both sweet and distressed.
She said softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not tired now, but what about three days later? What is your Majesty going to do?"
Zhu Feng frowned slightly.
Between the two of them, the originally charming and warm atmosphere suddenly cooled down a bit.
Zhu Feng said: "You already know?"
Nan Yan said softly: "Yesterday, my concubine wanted to go to the study to see the emperor, but as a result, I saw those ministers coming out, and overheard what they said."
"..."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while before saying, "Forget it, it's not a crime."
After finishing speaking, it seems that I will not pursue it anymore.
He got up and put on a change of clothes, and sat in front of the dressing table. Nan Yan also got up, walked behind him, picked up the comb on the table, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this concubine is here to comb your hair."
"Um."
Nan Yan reached out and pulled his long hair.
Zhu Feng's appearance is considered outstanding among men, he is that kind of tough and handsome, but his long hair is not the same as his tough temperament, it is black and shiny, smooth and soft, like a whole piece of hair. Good black silk, held in the hand, is like flowing water.
It's just that his hair seems to have lost a little luster now.
Nan Yan combed his hair gently, as if she wanted to help him sort out his thoughts.
She asked: "Your Majesty, there is actually one thing that I don't quite understand."
"What's up?"
"The matter of the emperor's plan to build Beiping was made public not long after he conferred the title of concubine."
"Um."
"At that time, although there were voices of opposition from the ministers, they were not too fierce. That's why the emperor sent uncle to build the city so quickly. Why did they have such a big reaction when they arrived in Beiping this time?"
Zhu Feng said: "Actually, when they were in Jinling, Beiping City had been under construction for a while, and they had already begun to show signs of opposition."
"Why?"
"Because the expenditure of the Ministry of Household Affairs exceeded their imagination."
"..."
"In addition, they came to Beiping City this time and saw the scale of the construction with their own eyes. Of course, they panicked."
"..."
"They are even more afraid. After the construction of Beiping City is completed, my focus will be on the north, because they know very well that when I was king of Yan, my power was in the north. They are afraid of this."
"But," Nan Yan frowned, and said, "Beiping is a border city, which is related to the country's defense against disasters. The stronger the city, the more troops stationed there, the more secure the north is, isn't it?"
"..."
"This is also good for the long-term stability of the entire country, including the stability of the south."
Zhu Feng let out a breath from the tip of his nose, and then said: "Although it is good for the country, it is not good for them."
"..."
"Once they realize that the court's laws will affect their own interests, or even hit them, these courtiers will naturally stand on the opposite side of me."
Nan Yan's brows were tightened.
She was silent for a while, then said softly: "Then, Master Jane, is it the same?"
"..."
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered slightly.
As he said, he looked back at Nan Yan.
Nan Yan looked down at him, and said softly: "Could it be that Master Jian also thinks the same as them, and that's why, together with those ministers, he signed a letter to oppose the emperor's construction of Beiping City?"
"..."
"Does he only care about his own interests?"
"..."
Zhu Feng was silent for a long time, and said something that made Nan Yan a little inexplicable.
"People's hearts are very deep."
"..."
"Sometimes, it's also very shallow."
"..."
"Sometimes, you think you've seen through a person, but maybe you haven't seen him through."
"..."
"Jian Ruocheng is a person who looks simple but is difficult for others to see through."
Hearing what he said, Nan Yan's heart felt a little uncomfortable.
She said softly: "Then, if Lord Jane is on the opposite side of the emperor, will the emperor really stop building Beiping City this time?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a long time, and then said: "If you really want to stop, I'm afraid there will be no possibility of further construction."
As he spoke, he smiled coldly.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to do one of the things I want to do next."
"..."
Nan Yan took a deep breath and helped him comb his hair and put on the crown.
Just at this time, Ran Xiaoyu and the others came to serve. After the two of them washed up, they sat down at the table and had breakfast.
In the past, Zhu Feng watched her eat.
But today, Nan Yan put all the vegetables into his bowl first, and said softly: "The emperor has lost a lot of weight recently, so I need to eat more."
"..."
"Don't wait for the concubine's child to be born. The concubine gets fat, but the emperor loses weight."
When the child was mentioned, the haze in Zhu Feng's eyes dissipated a little, he raised his head, looked at Nan Yan's belly, smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, and said, "I really wish that this child would be born soon. "
"..."
"If you talk about helpers, brothers who fight tigers, father and son soldiers in battle, there is no better helper than sons."
Nan Yan couldn't help laughing: "Even if he is really a son, how big will he be when he is born?"
"..."
"The emperor still expects his help?"
As she spoke, she glanced at him carefully again: "If you want to talk about helpers, there are still people who can be relied on among the royal relatives."
Zhu Feng looked up at her: "Zhen, haven't you already reused your uncle?"
Nan Yan hurriedly waved her hand: "What I said is not about my relatives."
"..."
Zhu Feng's face moved slightly.
Looking up at her, Nan Yan said cautiously: "What the concubine said is that Cheng Guo—"
"Okay," Zhu Feng interrupted her, and said, "Don't bother with these things. Eat quickly."
"Why."
Knowing that Zhu Feng would not let her speak, Nan Yan naturally couldn't say anything clearly, so she could only lower her head and continue eating.
After the two ate for a while, Zhu Feng said again: "By the way, I seem to have heard yesterday that there are pigeons flying over again?"
"Yes."
"Huh," his eyes turned cold: "That cousin of yours likes to join in the fun. What did he say?"
Nan Yan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, don't be distracted by these trivial matters recently. My concubine didn't put that pigeon back, nor did I reply."
"..."
"Wait until this matter is dealt with, and then reply to his letter."
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while.
Then he said, "Okay."
"..."
"I'm also thinking, no matter big or small, I have to wait until this matter is resolved before making a decision."
