Chapter 790: Chapter 790: The Emperor is Drawn Here_1

This Imperial Consort De seemed to suppress herself too much. Usually, royal concubines would be doing their utmost to get rid of other women around the Emperor, but Imperial Consort De was actually going all out to find concubines for her own man.

Lady Nan Feng gave Imperial Consort De no hope and directly replied: "Imperial Consort De, I don’t want to!"

So, Imperial Consort De looked quite surprised.

In her opinion, the Emperor was so handsome, so stylish, he was the ruler of a kingdom, and he was also known for hunting and archery. He often looked cool, so all the women in the world should like him.

Nan Feng didn’t want to continue this topic. So she got up and excused herself: "Imperial Consort De, Nan Feng has to do something else now. I won’t be able to keep you company. Farewell."

After Nan Feng left, Imperial Consort De fell into a state of utmost confusion and bewilderment.

And beside Imperial Consort De, a palace maid named Jie Geng gently reminded her: "Your Highness, it’s windy here. Let’s go back to the room first, and we will come out again when His Majesty comes back tonight."

The consorts in the palace were usually lonely, and they could only confide in the palace maids next to them. Jie Geng, who had been serving beside Imperial Consort De since she was young, was her confidante. Integrity De looked at Jie Geng and said, "Tell me, does Nan Feng truly dislike the Emperor, or is she pretending not to like him?"

Jie Geng chuckled: "Your Highness, His Majesty is the dragon among people, and he’s the Son of Heaven. Who wouldn’t like him?"

De Consort said: "That’s what I thought, too. But looking at Nan Feng’s attitude..."

"Your Highness, perhaps Lady Nan Feng is shy. After all, she is already a married woman. If she truly disliked him, why would she have gone hunting with His Majesty yesterday and returned together?"

De Consort replied: "I don’t know what Nan Feng is thinking, but I’m sure the Emperor likes her. Whether she’s been married before or not isn’t an issue, so long as they share mutual feelings. Remember Yang Guifei during the Tang Dynasty? Didn’t she marry two emperors?"

Jie Geng was dumbfounded: "Your Highness, you’re not going to ... let’s forget it."

Jie Geng said that Nan Feng probably liked the Emperor, meaning not to crush Imperial Consort De. But if the Imperial Consort De were to try and bring them together, then Jie Geng would think she’s being quite foolish.

But Imperial Consort De didn’t think she was foolish. She loved the Emperor and was personally named Imperial Consort De; naturally, she would have to win over people with her virtue. As for the things which required her to swallow bitter pills, she would bear it all herself.

As De Consort looked at the cup in front of her, she thought of Xiao Qing competing with Nan Feng for tea, she realized a way belatedly: "Or maybe this way..."

...

Perhaps Nan Feng had been in the south for too long and got used to its light food. Even though she sometimes ate spicy meals, she could not handle eating spicy food for every meal.

On top of that, she had eaten roast chicken yesterday and now had a sore throat. Today, she wanted to eat something light.

She specifically sent Xiao Qing to the cafeteria. The dishes offered today were similar to those offered the previous day, all of them were delicacies from land and sea.

The hunting catch was too plentiful and couldn’t be wasted. So everyone had to eat it.

Nan Feng had no appetite, so she simply asked Xiao Qing to borrow some rice and a pot. She took half a chicken and decided to cook it herself.

She returned to the stream she had visited yesterday.

Nan Feng washed the rice and cut the chicken into slivers. After the porridge boiled, she added ginger-marinated chicken slivers. Half an hour later, a pot of steaming hot chicken porridge was ready.

The aroma of chicken porridge couldn’t drift as far as the smell of barbecues. So today, it didn’t attract any consorts or royal relatives, but it did attract the Emperor.
