Chapter 803: Chapter 803: Waiting for Brother Ye to Come Back

Hanlin Academy?

That’s a very prestigious position. If Mo Wenxuan could marry his daughter, his career path would definitely be smooth sailing.

Thus, Mo Wenxuan knelt down again to express his thanks.

After the Emperor bade Mo Wenxuan to rise, he turned his gaze to Nan Feng.

She seemed to smile.

Alright, as long as she is happy, that is good enough.

Currently, Mo Wenxuan has not yet been appointed an official position, but the Emperor is quite fond of this Scholar. His learning goes without saying, and he does not appear weak, seeming fairly decisive. Besides, Mo Wenxuan once struck a blow against Qin Kun; for this reason alone, the Emperor would not treat him harshly.

The Emperor then asked Nan Feng, "You haven’t seen your fellow townsman in so many years, surely there are some words you wish to exchange? Well, I have matters to attend to, so I will leave you two to chat privately."

But Nan Feng also stood up, "Your Majesty, thank you for arranging this meeting with my townsman. I feel that we have talked about everything that needs to be discussed. There are also numerous matters that require my attention in the Siyuan, and Wenxuan, having just achieved a high rank in the examinations, will naturally be busy with many things. I do not wish to take up too much of Wenxuan’s time, so perhaps it’s best if we end our meeting for today."

Mo Wenxuan felt a faint sense of disappointment.

This final meeting—is it really so brief?

So Mo Wenxuan quickly stood up while the Emperor was still silent, "Your Majesty, Wenxuan is not busy at the moment, and there are indeed a few words I wish to discuss with Nan Feng."

The Emperor looked at Nan Feng and then back at Mo Wenxuan.

One says busy, the other says not.

He instantly understood something in his heart: Nan Feng, this young lady, holds grudges. Whoever offends her, she remembers for a lifetime and will never show them a good face, but Mo Wenxuan...

There’s no need to say it, he must be grappling with an unrequited longing, I presume.

In that moment, the Emperor felt Mo Wenxuan was somewhat similar to himself. They both fancied Nan Feng, yet they had more important affairs to attend to — Mo Wenxuan must be because of his desire to achieve academic and official honors, while the Emperor’s concern was for his realm. Therefore, Nan Feng’s place was relegated to secondary priority.

They fancied Nan Feng, but they would not sacrifice those other important things for her.

Not even let them be affected.

Now that Mo Wenxuan had said he wished to talk with Nan Feng, the Emperor conceded, "Nan Feng, it’s a rare occasion to meet, you two should catch up for a while."

Having said this, the Emperor left.

Yet, upon reaching the doorway, the Emperor exchanged a look with Eunuch Wan, who understood the gesture and began to eavesdrop at the door.

Inside, Nan Feng sat down again, took a sip of tea, and then looked at Mo Wenxuan indifferently, "Wenxuan, what else do you want to say to me?"

Mo Wenxuan looked at Nan Feng but could not think of what to say.

There were many things he wanted to say, but now that they met, hesitation took hold, and he began to fidget with the corner of his clothes.

"Wenxuan, neither of us has much time, do we?" said Nan Feng.

Mo Wenxuan finally spoke up, "How long have you been in this Palace?"

"As long as Brother Ye has been gone, that’s how long I have been here. It’s been nearly ten months," sighed Nan Feng.

"Then, how is Brother Ye doing?" asked Mo Wenxuan again.

"I don’t know, but serving as a General in Nangong was always his wish, so he should be fine, right? He always feels at home on the battlefield," Nan Feng replied.

"How about you? Are you doing well in this Palace?" This was what Mo Wenxuan cared about.

Nan Feng simply answered with two words: "Not well!"

Mo Wenxuan felt a twinge of heartache, "Then what can be done?"

"Nothing can be done, just wait for Brother Ye to return. I take each day as it comes. Now I plant flowers, grow vegetables, and make do," Nan Feng said. She was only seventeen, yet her face showed the weariness of someone ten years older, causing another pang of heartache for Mo Wenxuan.
