Chapter 721: Chapter 721: Just Getting By_1
Ye Ge has gone to war, Ye Ge has returned, Ye Ge has left again. Sometimes he had an ugly face, sometimes he reverted to his real face.
The dreams she has now are of Ye Ge killing enemies on the battlefield.
It was similar to what she had seen in historical dramas. In her dreams, she also wanted to help Ye Ge, but no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t move a single step. All she could do was feel anxious.
And then she would wake up.
Upon waking, she found herself looking at the Emperor lying on another rocking bed.
The reason why Nan Feng made several rocking beds was because she was worried her craftsmanship wouldn’t stand up to use. If one of the beds broke, she’d have another as a backup. But she didn’t expect...
She never thought she would meet the Emperor here, so she thought she was still dreaming.
She lazily got up, looked at the Emperor, and pinched her thigh.
She felt pain, so the person in front of her must indeed be the Emperor.
The Emperor was no longer lying down, he sat up and looked at Nan Feng.
Nan Feng was not like the eunuchs outside who were flustered upon seeing him. On the contrary, there was a flash of disgust in Nan Feng’s eyes at first.
Over the past month, every time she thought of Ye Ge, her hatred for the Emperor increased. Therefore, she couldn’t control her gaze.
But in the end, the person in front of her was the Emperor, so she restrained herself, gave a brief bow, and finally said: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The Emperor looked at the disdain in Nan Feng’s eyes and couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
"Does Lady Nan have any grievances against me?" he asked.
"Isn’t Your Majesty just asking the obvious?" Nan Feng returned.
"..." The Emperor was used to seeing submissive women in the palace, and this was the first time that a woman had spoken back to him.
"How is Lady Nan Feng getting on living here in Siyuan?" the Emperor asked again.
Being a man, he shouldn’t squabble with a woman. Plus, Nan Feng was from a rural area, she didn’t know the rules.
Nan Feng simply replied, "It’s okay, I’m just getting by."
"Oh, just getting by," the Emperor repeated, frowning, "That is to say, you’ve been here for over a month and you’ve been just getting by?"
"Does the Emperor truly expect me to come here to learn crafts?" Nan Feng asked in return.
The Emperor’s face darkened, and then he resumed his lofty attitude: "Come with me."
...
Outside.
The people of Siyuan courtyard once again lined up in two rows, with the Emperor, Eunuch Wan, and Nan Feng standing at the front.
The Emperor’s cold gaze swept over the crowd, finally landing on Lao Xing: "You, come forward."
Lao Xing stood up, waiting for the Emperor’s question.
The Emperor looked at Nan Feng, then pointed at Lao Xing and asked: "How long has Nan Feng been here?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, it has been over a month," Lao Xing answered.
"Who has been responsible for teaching her the skills of Siyuan during this time?" the Emperor asked again.
"Replying to Your Majesty, it should be this old servant. However..." Lao Xing glanced at Nan Feng, then continued, "it seems that Lady Nan Feng is not interested in the skills of Siyuan."
"So, she’s been here for so long, just getting by, wasting days away? She doesn’t know how to plant flowers, how to grow trees or how to fertilize the forest?" the Emperor’s tone turned colder.
"Replying to Your Majesty..." Lao Xing glanced at Nan Feng. "This old servant doesn’t know how much Lady Nan Feng has actually learned."
The Emperor turned to look at Nan Feng again.
Nan Feng took a deep breath, and simply replied: "I didn’t learn anything."
"Very well," the Emperor looked at Lao Xing. "I sent her here to learn from you, but since she hasn’t grasped any of the skills, it is evidently your fault. Guards, give him ten hard lashes."
