Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Let’s Just Go With The Flow_1

Lady Nan Feng still couldn’t muster up any energy until now.

It’s been a month since she entered the Imperial Palace. Everyday, other than eating and sleeping, she would loiter aimlessly in the back garden. The Eunuchs there dared to show their anger but not voice it, viewing Nan Feng as a freeloader.

She didn’t mind.

She didn’t want to be in this Palace in the first place. As a hostage, shouldn’t her only responsibilities be to eat and drink?

She missed her brother Ye, missed Long San and Xue Ling, missed Nan Quanyou, missed Xiaoqing, and even missed her playmates from the village, missed Aqiu and her maids.

She wondered how they were doing.

After all, this garden, while large and equipped, became boring after a month.

The Imperial Garden in front, along with the public garden, were places Nan Feng could wander under the guise of being a Gardener of Siyuan Residence. But she felt constrained there, always worrying about running into some honorable figure and whether she should bow in respect or not.

So, she felt most at ease in this vegetable garden.

Just thinking of possibly having to stay here for three to five years, Nan Feng was utterly exasperated.

She cast all her resentment onto the Emperor. If it wasn’t for his narrow-mindedness, pressuring her brother to go to battle and suspecting him of rebellion, would she be living such a stifled life?

Isn’t it better to be a leisurely shopkeeper near a battlefield? Although it’s tough, she could meet various types of people.

Thinking of this, Nan Feng would beat her chest and stamp her feet, utterly depressed.

Indeed, the day the Emperor summoned both her and her spouse to the Palace, she should have refused.

All the blame was on Eunuch Wan, insisting it was a rule for the couple to attend. She had never been to the Imperial Palace and wanted to see, while her brother assumed the Emperor would assign Nan Feng some logistical duties.

But what was the result?

It was beyond her that the Emperor could act so insidiously.

Nan Feng picked a sweet potato leaf in the vegetable garden, folded it into a humanoid form, then picked a stone and threw it at the leaf: "Casting a curse, I am casting a curse!"

Shortly after, Nan Feng heard a long sigh from behind her.

She turned around and saw Old Xing. He was holding a small hoe and a vegetable basket.

Although Old Xing was a Eunuch, he was a literate man and the old Gardener of this garden. Nan Feng held him in relative respect.

She knew why Old Xing sighed.

Wasn’t it because she was not living up to expectations?

Nan Feng didn’t want to explain, casually picking another tomato. Old Xing wanted to stop her but it was too late. He could only watch as Nan Feng took a big bite of the tomato, juice splattered all over her mouth. She wiped it off with her hand.

Like this, there was probably no semblance of dignity left, right?

Old Xing couldn’t help but sigh again, then looked at Nan Feng and said: "Child, do you plan to just let your days pass by like this?"

While eating, Nan Feng replied: "Just getting by for now."

"This back garden of the Palace does not support idlers," Old Xing said.

"I’m not an idler," Nan Feng pointed at the tomato in her hand: "I’m here to test the fruits of your labor, to see if they taste good. Now it seems, not bad. Everyone should keep up the good work, cultivate the land well. I’ll see how I can apply to increase your salaries."

Old Xing shook his head: "No need, Lady Nan Feng. Continue to get by then, but if I were you, I’d learn more skills that could be useful even after leaving the Palace."
