Chapter 789: Chapter 789 Do you want to be His Majesty’s concubine?_1

The moment Empress Te arrived, she sat closely next to Nan Feng and then motioned the palace maid behind her to bring over a pot of tea.

She had the palace maid pour a cup for Nan Feng, then said with a smile to Nan Feng, "Sister Nan Feng, this is a heart-nourishing tea I brought from my family home, made of bird’s nest and snow lotus from Tianshan. It’s good for beautifying your skin. The autumn weather is pleasant now, but it’s a bit dry. Drinking this tea would be perfect."

Seeing the typical virtuous expression on Empress Te’s face, Nan Feng didn’t refuse her but smiled at Empress Te, "Thank you, Empress Te, I shall give it a try."

But before Nan Feng raised the teacup, Xiaoqing on the side laughed, "Sister Nan Feng, I’m also very thirsty, I want to give it a try too."

Without waiting for Nan Feng’s approval, Xiaoqing took the teacup from Nan Feng’s hand and drank up, then she smacked her lips, "Sister Nan Feng, this tea is delicious."

Nan Feng knew what Xiaoqing was implying. Xiaoqing, like her, didn’t understand the palace rules, but she did know that she shouldn’t take the Master’s things. Xiaoqing only took the tea because Nan Feng always said how treacherous the palace was, full of danger everywhere. Furthermore, they shouldn’t casually use or eat anything sent by any of the other concubines. Both used items and food could be poisoned. Now that Empress Te had sent over some tea and they didn’t have a silver needle to test it, Xiaoqing drank it on behalf of Nan Feng.

But Empress Te looked extremely displeased.

"A servant daring to openly take the Master’s things, this is utterly lawless," Empress Te reminded Nan Feng, "Sister Nan Feng, as a Master, you must act like one, you can’t spoil your servants too much."

No matter how virtuous and competent, one can’t let a servant push the Master around. That was Empress Te’s bottom line.

Nan Feng turned to Xiaoqing, appearing very angry, "Did you hear that? Now go away!"

Empress Te: "..."

Xiaoqing had already run off, as lively as ever, it seemed she had no problems.

Nan Feng then took another teacup, poured some of Empress Te’s iced tea into it, and started drinking, "Excuse our lack of manners, Empress Te. Xiaoqing has been with me since before we came to the palace, she’s like a sister. Her only flaw is her gluttony, she’ll get used to it, other than food, she wouldn’t dare to take anything else."

Empress Te shook her head, "Still, rules must be followed, this habit must be changed no matter what. By the way, is the iced tea good?"

Nan Feng nodded, "Not bad, very soothing on the throat. Just last night I had some barbecue, now it can help balance it out."

Empress Te laughed, then looked around and said, "The Emperor has gone hunting again today."

Ever since the Emperor arrived at the Hunting Ground he had been away, not spending time with Empress Te. He even missed the evening because he was too tired to call any concubines to attend to him.

Nan Feng looked at the faint look of worry on Empress Te’s face and said, "The Emperor is very busy with state affairs in the palace, it’s rare for him to relax outside. Taking up leisurely hobbies is a good way for him to have fun."

Empress Te let out a sigh, "You understand the Emperor better."

"..." Nan Feng thought, that was just common sense, but she said, "Well, maybe a spectator sees the game better. Since I’m not one of the Emperor’s concubines, perhaps that gives me a clearer view."

Out of the blue, Empress Te said, "Nan Feng, do you want to become the Emperor’s concubine?"

Nan Feng almost choked on the bird’s nest, but when she looked into Empress Te’s serious eyes, she understood that Empress Te was not joking.
