Chapter 865: Chapter 865 I Don’t Want It

Nan Feng was certain, "Your Majesty, Nan Feng really can’t remember saying such words."

The Empress hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Lielie, won’t you introduce Lady Nan Feng to everyone present?"

Thus, Tuoba Lie began to introduce Nan Feng one by one, "This is..."

Nan Feng took great care to remember the names of these individuals, as recognizing people was an important part of undercover work.

After introducing everyone, Tuoba Lie finally led Nan Feng to a table and sat down.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Emperor signaled for the meal to commence.

One couldn’t compare the Imperial Palace to the outside world, and here, Nan Feng finally had the chance to eat vegetables. Just as she was about to start eating with her chopsticks, two more pieces of greens appeared in her bowl, served by Tuoba Lie.

She said, "I don’t want it!"

Tuoba Lie served again, "Don’t you like it? If you like it, eat more."

Nan Feng knew that with someone as shameless and thick-skinned as Tuoba Lie, it was truly impossible to refuse, so she decided to simply ignore him.

For someone who was impervious to both hard and soft approaches, giving the cold shoulder was the best strategy.

The Emperor had been observing Nan Feng all the while.

He really couldn’t understand why his son would engage in such a one-sided affair. Although he had heard of some of his son’s romantic escapades before, his son had been incorrigible, and he had gradually gotten tired of dealing with them.

Now that Tuoba Lie was giving so much attention to a woman, it appeared he wasn’t just playing around. But with Nan Feng as cold as ice, it would be extremely difficult for his son to melt her heart.

What was it about Nan Feng that made her so exceptional?

Consequently, the Emperor began to inquire about Nan Feng, "Lady Nan Feng, my son tells me you are intelligent, kind, and full of resourcefulness. What are your particular skills? Or, what do you enjoy doing in your leisure time?"

Without hesitating, Nan Feng answered, "I like farming and trading goods."

No sooner had she spoken than she hesitated, not only her, but Tuoba Lie was also taken aback for a while.

When had she ever farmed or traded goods?

The Emperor was puzzled, "You are not a lady of Dashun, are you? Are you from Dajin?"

Because, after all, Dashun had no farmland.

Tuoba Lie answered for Nan Feng, "She is not from Dajin, she doesn’t even know what the Dajin dynasty is about, right? Nan Feng?"

Nan Feng ignored Tuoba Lie and simply stated, "Nan Feng only knows that Dajin is another country which was recently at war with Dashun, but Nan Feng is not familiar with the situation over there; I have never been to Dajin."

"Oh? So you’re neither from the Dajin dynasty nor from the Shun Dynasty. Could it be that Lady Nan Feng sprung from a stone?" someone asked jokingly.

Nan Feng looked at Tuoba Lie, this time finally seeking his help.

Yet Tuoba Lie simply refused to respond on her behalf, seemingly intent on watching her embarrass herself.

Nan Feng could only smile, "Nan Feng has lived between the borders since a young age, so I belong to neither side."

The Emperor sensed that there was a secret behind Nan Feng’s origin; however, since it was not suitable for her to reveal it there, he didn’t press further. Instead, he looked at Nan Feng again, "You say you can farm, so what exactly can you grow?"

Nan Feng paused yet again.

What could she grow?

When it came to this topic, she felt a pang of pain. In her memories, she seemed to have farmed before, but she couldn’t remember where or what she had grown.

Seeing that she couldn’t answer, the Emperor was displeased.

This woman neither fancied his son nor was willing to disclose her origins and filled her speech with untruths. What was this supposed to mean?

The Emperor then said, "Nan Feng, you claim to have experience with trading goods, right? Well, I have a wine bottle here. It’s worth twenty taels of silver. Can you sell it for forty taels?"

Is that not simple?
