Chapter 763: Chapter 763 - He Comes to Apologize_1

Indeed, anyone who interacts with Nan Feng is privileged to receive the Emperor’s favor.

Why didn’t Siyuan think to get on good terms with Nan Feng when they had the chance in the past?

The virtuous concubine couldn’t help but laugh at the expressions of the concubines: "In fact, ever since Lady Nan Feng entered the palace, things have been different than they used to be."

After all the concubines dispersed, each of them lost in their thoughts.

...

Nan Feng had received so many gifts that day her hands were nearly limp.

And the gifts were more valuable than the last. Zhang Liangdi had given onyx earrings, an entire set. Chen Daying gave a jade bracelet, and the virtuous concubine had given a piece of Yunshang fabric... Her room was quickly filled with gifts.

Nan Feng looked at the pile of items, her acceptance of them inexplicable.

Why were the Emperor’s wives all giving her gifts?

She counted them, not all had given gifts, Jiang Guipin and Ning Liangpin with whom she had conflicts, hadn’t.

Nan Feng found these items headache-inducing. Conveniently, Little Fuzi was bringing her food, so she asked him, "Why are they giving me gifts?"

Little Fuzi, having heard quite a few pieces of gossip, smilingly told Nan Feng: "Sister Nan Feng, you’ve become a lucky charm in the palace. There’s a saying among the concubines in the palace, that having any association with you can bring the Emperor’s favor. Isn’t the Emperor having you help choose palace beauties? The Emperor trusts your judgment, and so of course they’d want to win your favor. If they can get close to you, they will surely receive the Emperor’s favor sooner or later."

"That’s what they say in the palace?" Nan Feng felt her scalp tingle.

Ancient concubines really believed this.

"Sister Nan Feng, that’s what they all say."

Nan Feng realized this matter could easily become a problem, so she immediately told Little Fuzi and Little Jinzi to return the gifts to each palace. She couldn’t keep any of them, accepting these gifts was bound to cause trouble.

Despite their uncertainty about why Nan Feng wanted to do this, Little Fuzi and Little Jinzi could only do as they were told.

...

The next day.

The Emperor showed up on Siyuan’s side again.

Nan Feng was in the middle of tallying the vegetables and fruits needed by each palace when she saw the Emperor. The eunuchs then took over her duties and asked her to attend to the Emperor.

Because of the selection of palace beauties, Nan Feng had to take the blame for him. Therefore, she believed that the Emperor was too shady, irresponsible, and had let her handle such a big matter.

So any gratitude she had felt towards the Emperor had quickly evaporated.

Perhaps to avoid gossip, the Emperor did not speak to Nan Feng inside a house, but had people bring chairs under the fruit tree outside.

The shade of the tree was cool, and the breeze was refreshing and comfortable.

Nan Feng’s gaze was cool: "Your Majesty might as well speak frankly."

The Emperor looked at Nan Feng: "I’m sorry, I haven’t had the time to see you these past few days, nor to apologize to you."

"Your Majesty doesn’t have such a duty. Whether you come or not, Nan Feng won’t concern herself with it," Nan Feng spoke frankly.

The Emperor smiled faintly, then looked at Nan Feng again: "Don’t you think your status in the palace has risen quite a bit ever since you helped me select the palace beauties?"

"Nan Feng is content to live an ordinary life here in Siyuan, she doesn’t care about status."

The Emperor remained silent, leaning back in his chair, staring at the trees in the distance. After a while, he said, "Go on and do your work, you don’t need to keep me company."
