Chapter 732: Chapter 732: The Emperor’s Attitude_1

Seeing the Empress Consort De’s reaction, she hurried and followed out.

The Emperor and Ning Liangpin were the only ones left in the room.

Ning Liangpin, seeing the Emperor suddenly releasing Nan Feng, didn’t dare ask why, nor did she dare complain anymore. She only opened her mouth and weakly called out, "Your Majesty?"

However, the Emperor didn’t spare Ning Liangpin another glance, instead, he turned and left.

...

Outside.

Empress Consort De led Nan Feng out, then her gaze remained fixed on Nan Feng, "Did you really get into a fight just now?"

"Yes," Nan Feng replied casually, while also observing the woman before her, "And you are?"

She found that this woman seemed moderately gentle and quiet, far more amiable than that Ning Liangpin in the room.

"Empress Consort De," Empress Consort De said with a smile.

"Greetings, Empress Consort De," Nan Feng made a courteous bow.

"Rise," Consort De commanded. She had a sedan chair, but it could only sit one person; she glanced at the sky: "It’s still early. How about you accompany me to my Jade Bamboo Palace for lunch?"

Nan Feng declined politely, "Thank you, Empress Consort De, I will eat at the Siyuan Bureau."

Empress Consort De then smiled gently, "Actually, His Majesty asked me to acquaint myself more with you."

"His Majesty?" Nan Feng asked, "Was it also you who made him come to Ning Liangpin’s?"

"Indeed, when I went looking for you at the back of the Siyuan, they said you were summoned here. Ning Liangpin has a bad temper; I was afraid you wouldn’t get along."

"It’s okay, I can handle it," Nan Feng smiled and said: "Just a few palace maids and eunuchs. I don’t take them seriously."

Empress Consort De suddenly grew nervous, "Careful with such words in the future!"

"Why is that?"

"There are rules within the palace. Amongst the harem, no matter what happens, you need to endure. Don’t start fights like you did today, Ning Liangpin was one thing, but next time it could be someone else, how will you handle it?"

Nan Feng couldn’t resist asking, "What if someone else starts trouble with me first?"

"You have to follow the rules in such cases too. Try to train up a few young eunuchs at the Siyuan Bureau. In case you’re taken away again, they can immediately send for me, I’ll help you get out of the situation. If I’m not around they can also notify His Majesty... His Majesty had previously mentioned that you are the wife of General Nangong Ye, whom he respects a lot. Naturally, his attitude towards you will also..."

Nan Feng felt quite impatient at this point already, she got infuriated at the mention of the Emperor.

Moreover, this Empress Consort De was the Emperor’s woman, naturally, she’d side with him.

"Thank you, Empress Consort De, for your guidance," Nan Feng made a bow, then continued: "I’ve taken enough of your time. It’s time for lunch, I’ll take my leave."

"..." Empress Consort De had intended to instruct Nan Feng on the palace rules, but before she could get to it, Nan Feng was already excusing herself. In all her years in the palace, she’d never seen such an unruly young lady. As a result, her opinion of Nan Feng was not so favorable anymore.

Knowing by Consort De’s awkward expression what she must be thinking, Nan Feng didn’t care to dwell on it. She made another bow, then left.

Empress Consort De stood there for a while. In her heart, she thought to herself, Nan Feng is not easy to get along with, should I bother seeking her out again?

Forget it, let’s just keep trying, after all, it is His Majesty’s command.

However, when Empress Consort De turned around, she saw the Emperor.

The Emperor was standing in place as usual, his face expressionless.

"Your Majesty," Empress Consort De greeted then continued: "Nan Feng has already returned to Siyuan, I wanted to invite her for lunch at my Jade Bamboo Palace, but Lady Nan declined."
