Chapter 728: Chapter 728: All the trouble caused by cucumbers（1）_1

After Yege finished a round of salutes and returned to his little group, he found himself sitting amongst generals, such as Li Ze, Zuo Qiujun, Shangguan Lun, and Qiu Qi.

Ever since Yege had defeated Qiu Qi, Qiu Qi was completely subservient to him, obediently doing whatever Yege asked of him.

At first, the generals were discussing the war, then they moved on to cursing the barbarians, calling them harsh names in their rough, direct manner.

As the night grew deeper, they started to talk about their wives and children.

Li Ze started the conversation, "I truly wish this war could end sooner, so I can return to my wife and children."

Zuo Qiujun asked, "Do you have a child? How old?"

"The oldest is seven, the youngest is four."

Shangguan Lun laughed, "When this war ends, least to say it will take more than a year, maybe even three to five years. By the time you return, your sons won’t recognize you anymore, they might call you uncle."

Li Ze laughed, "True, I look older but at least I still look the same. In contrast, kids grow so fast, they change every day. I’m worried I won’t recognize them."

Qiu Qi, a bachelor and known for his bluntness, added, "In my opinion, you should worry more about your wives. What if they cheat on you while you’re away?"

As soon as Qiu Qi finished his sentence, he found himself the target of indignant stares.

"What? Did I say something wrong? Forget it, just consider me as talking nonsense, I really should watch my mouth..."

Yege just chuckled lightly.

He thought to himself, ’Nan Feng wouldn’t. Even though many women can’t stand the loneliness, I trust that my Nan Feng could.’

But, how is she doing now?

Feeling a little dizzy from too much wine, he decided to lie down on the grass, gazing at the sky.

The sunshine was excellent, the sky was clear, blue and appeared to be within his reach.

Then, a small delicate face appeared in the sky. The pretty face was fair and smooth, her eyes claimed a hint of stubbornness.

He involuntarily smiled.

...

Nan Feng, although restrained in the backyard of Siyuan, stayed relaxed. After giving out orders, she would leisurely do her facial treatments.

The so-called facial treatment was just thin slices of cucumber placed on her face.

There was no face wash or mask to use, so she had to make do with this.

It was the last ripe cucumber picked today. Remembering that a few palace ladies had requested for cucumbers, Nan Feng decided to keep one for herself, and had the eunuch inform the rest that they were out of stock.

As she placing the cucumber onto her face, she heard one of the eunuchs named Liuzi reporting, "Lady Nan..."

Seeing Nan Feng’s face covered with cucumber slices, Liuzi couldn’t help but grumble in his heart: ’How could someone handle the position of Siyuan like her? You basically brought trouble upon yourself and yet you’re still unaware?’

Noticing Liuzi’s uneasy expression and not wanting her cucumber mask to fall off, Nan Feng moved her lips slightly: "What’s going on?"

"Lady Nan, Consort Ning Liangpin requests your presence," Liuzi said, "The Consort had ordered two cucumbers yesterday, but we informed her this morning that we ran out. She doesn’t believe us, and she asked you to come over and explain."

Nan Feng had a bad feeling about this, so she peeled off a few cucumber slices from her mouth, "Who is this Ning Liangpin? How high is her rank amongst the consort?"

As she was not familiar with the ranking of the concubines in the harem, she needed to check.
