Nanyandao: "It's a little bit to save."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Feng's smile came from outside the door, saying, "Why, my concubine is so poor that she can't even afford to eat a bird's nest every day?"

Nan Yan hurriedly got up when he heard the sound, and saw Zhu Feng walking in with his hands behind his back and smiling.

He must have just left the court, and before he could even change his clothes, Nan Yan hurriedly led Aunt Tongyun and Ruoshui to salute. Zhu Feng reached out to hold her, took her back to the house and sat down. He looked at the teacup around him that had not had time to remove, and said, "They just left?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "The sisters from each palace have not seen each other for two years. Today I came here to greet my concubine."

Aunt Tongyun waved her hand, and immediately two little palace maids stepped forward to remove all the teacups. Zhu Feng took a look and said, "You are also stingy. When they come to the door, they only give you some tea and don't even take out any snacks."

Nan Yan said: "I'm still stingy? I still remember bringing gifts to everyone! What did the emperor bring?"

Zhu Feng glanced at her and said nothing.

Aunt Tongyun went to make a cup of tea and delivered it to Zhu Feng. Zhu Feng picked it up and took a sip, then looked at the bird's nest next to Nanyan, and said, "This bird's nest is also good for you, why don't you eat it? One cup a day is still affordable in this palace."

Nan Yan immediately said, "How did I think I can't afford it? But today I just announced that the harem should be thrifty. I took the lead in cutting half of the monthly fee. The two sisters, Yifei and Lifei, also cut 30% and the other sisters, have all reduced a lot. Next, everyone must live a little more. Isn't it that I'll let me slap myself in the face?"

Zhu Feng felt a little moved when he heard this.

But he still said softly: "It's not as poor as this."

Nan Yan sighed and said, "A few years ago, because I did business with the countries in the Western Regions, I did make a lot of investments, so everyone felt rich and their hands loosened. But no one knew that the emperor spent money in the dark to restrain the country of Yue. Now there is really not much left in the family. If you don't think about some frugality, you will really be poor in the future."

“…”

"So, a bird's nest is small, and it is a big deal to let everyone think about it."

Zhu Feng glanced at her, a smile slowly rose from the corner of his eyes, and said, "My concubine is becoming more and more virtuous."

Nanyan raised his chin and said, "I have always been like this!"

The two were laughing, and Ruoshui had already brought out a plate of snacks from below to deliver them to them. Zhu Feng laughed and said, "It seems that I am still worthy of face. I can eat a bite of your concubine here."

Nan Yandao: "Hmph."

Seeing Ruoshui bowing and turning around and going down, Zhu Feng approached Nanyan and said, "I just heard this girl seem to be angry with people. What did she do?"

When Nan Yan heard this, before he could say anything, Ruoshui turned around and came back immediately and said, "Report to the emperor, our empress is wronged."

Zhu Feng frowned when he heard this: "What's going on?"

Ruoshui was going to say something, but when she looked up, she saw Nan Yan glaring at her with a calm face, she immediately did not dare to speak, so she could only lower her head.

Zhu Feng felt something, turned to look at Nanyan, but saw that Nanyan just smiled faintly, and then said to him: "In fact, it's not a big deal. Just now, I told my sisters in the harem to be frugal and cut the expenses of each palace. They didn't understand the intention of the concubine, and thought that the concubine, who was the imperial concubine, would deduct their "food and salary" when they came back from a trip. Fortunately, Concubine Li's sister rescued the concubine, saying that it was to celebrate the birthday of the emperor, and the sisters in the various palaces understood."

She smiled again and said, "They are naturally happy to celebrate the emperor's birthday."

While speaking, Nan Yan winked at Ruoshui, and Ruoshui could only lower his head and gently retreat.

As soon as he exited the room, Aunt Tongyun outside immediately shook her head and said, "Why are you so ignorant? It was a trivial matter. When you say that, isn't the Empress offending someone if you make a big deal?"

Ruoshui pouted and said, "At least, let the emperor know that the empress has suffered grievances for the emperor."

Aunt Tongyun said, "You are still ignorant. This is a matter of snatching money from people, and they must offend people. The Empress has calculated the result of the matter. She would rather offend people than do things well. Now that you have to make things happen to the emperor, wouldn't you still have to bother the emperor and the empress? The Emperor was already worried about the affairs of the previous dynasty, and now he would have to bear the harem for saving some money? Then what else should the empress do in the harem?"

“…”

"As a concubine, can't I recite such a trivial matter?"

“…”

Ruoshui blinked his eyes and seemed to understand it at this time.

After a while, he whispered: "The Imperial Concubine is not just about enjoying her happiness."

Aunt Tongyun smiled bitterly and poked her forehead, saying softly: "Learn more, I will wait for you to marry and become the head of the family in the future. This is how life will be."

Ruoshui's face turned red and she turned around and ran away.

In the room, Zhu Feng didn't say anything after hearing what Nan Yan said, but just looked at her quietly. After a while, he said, "Concubine Li is sensible."

Nan Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, she also understood that her words might not be able to hide from Zhu Feng. With his keenness, he was afraid that Ruoshui would already understand what was going on as soon as he spoke. However, Emperor Ruo came to investigate this matter in person, wasting time, and even erected a concubine in the harem who knew that she had an incompetent image of going to the emperor to complain. So when Zhu Feng let go, she immediately smiled and said, "Yes, this time I followed the emperor to tour Yongzhou for two years, and the harem was all handled by her."

As she said that, she laughed, took advantage of the situation and changed the subject, saying, "I can still remember the arrogant and arrogant look when she first entered the palace."

Zhu Feng thought about it and couldn't help but smile.

He said: "It is necessary to beat the enemy to be sensible."

Nan Yan said: "She is very sensible now. If it weren't for her and Concubine Yi's sister, it would be difficult for me to step down."

Zhu Feng immediately frowned and said, "You are a dignified concubine. Whoever dares to let you get out of office can do whatever you want. Do you still need me to teach you?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "I know, but the harem is full of trivial matters, so those methods can be used everywhere."

“…”

"Actually, as long as there is sister Yi and sister Li standing behind my concubine, everything will be much easier. The emperor doesn't have to worry about it."

Zhu Feng nodded and said, "Let's do this, I've used lunch here today, and went to Jingyang Palace to talk to Concubine Li in the afternoon. She has indeed worked hard in the past two years."
