Chapter 2761: Stay up late again

Li Bushang stood at the door and watched Xie Jiaojiao's carriage go away before turning around and walking inside.
But, after taking a step, he stopped again and looked back.
People come and go on the long street. Of course, many pedestrians know that this mansion was bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor, and the preparations for the lanterns and festoons in the mansion have been well known to everyone. Pointing at this place, as if watching the excitement.
Li did not hurt the wolf-like eyes and scanned these people, but found nothing.
He was silent for a moment, then turned back to the house.
On the other side, a person quickly walked through the streets and alleys to the entrance of the Dixianhui in the capital.
The courtyard door was closed tightly. He knocked on the door three times, and the door was opened. When he saw that it was him, he immediately said: "Brother Chen Tong, you are back."
"Is the hall master here?"
"I'm here."
"Okay, take me to see the hall master."
The man turned sideways and quickly entered the gate. Unlike before, the courtyard was no longer full of people. Instead, it was empty. Only when I walked into the hall, it was the same as before, with a few people sitting on the seats on both sides.
In front of him, the hall master was still sitting there.
Only this time, he was not preaching or closing his eyes to rest his mind, but was waiting for this person to come back.
Asked: "Chen Tong, what happened?"
The person named Chen Tong immediately took a step forward, held his fist in a salute to the hall master, and then said: "Hall Master, I have already gone to find out clearly. The Li Mansion is indeed preparing for a happy event, that is their master. Jin Yiwei’s commander Li not hurt, that is, the last time, the person who picked up the emperor in Zuixianlou."
Upon hearing this, the hall master narrowed his eyes slightly.
Said: "This person is the emperor's confidant."
"It's not just a confidant."
"Not just a confidant? Then what?"
"I went to find out. This Li is not hurt. It is said that it has some origins. It was adopted from Yongzhou a few years ago by the most favored concubine in the harem. She is an orphan."
"Oh?"
"So, he is not only the commander of Jin Yiwei, but also the concubine's person."
"..."
"I heard that this time, the imperial concubine might come to Li Mansion in person."
"Noble concubine..."
Hearing this, the hall master's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a dangerous, cold light in his eyes.
He said: "The imperial concubine, the imperial concubine is the emperor's favorite concubine."
"..."
"If the imperial concubine comes, then—"
A cold and hideous smile appeared on the faces of several people sitting in the hall, together with the one named Chen Tong.
The hall master slowly said: "The Lord Xiang has already made arrangements. Since this court’s court official and the emperor’s confidant, Mr. Li, is overjoyed, then how can we not give him a'great gift'? What?"


In a blink of an eye, it was the second day of May.
Nan Yan had already prepared the gift early, but seeing the time getting closer, Zhu Feng never let go, whether he could go or not.
Even on the night of the second day of the junior high school, he spent another night in the Yushufang. Nan Yan originally wanted to see him, but he didn't see it.
Just outside the door, I saw the bright lights in the Imperial Study Room.
His already thin figure and the shadows of several other ministers were also projected on the window. They have been busy without stopping. Nan Yan asked, only to know that some Japanese pirates had appeared in the southeast coast. They had looted coastal towns, burned, killed and looted several times. Zhu Feng ordered the Shandong coast to strengthen its guard. However, the coastal defense line of thousands of miles is not so easy to guard.
This matter made Zhu Feng quite a headache.
Although he is proficient in the art of warfare, he is proficient in the art of warfare on land, and land warfare is almost a world apart from naval warfare.
Since Emperor Gao established the country, he has closed the coastline and no longer communicates with the coastal countries. After Zhu Feng ascended the throne, he has been thinking of traveling through the Western Regions with him and restarting the Silk Road. Sea trade is also ready to open step by step.
Unexpectedly, opening the sea gate will usher not trade, but trouble.
Zhu Feng was sitting behind the table, the candlelight on the table flickering, reflecting his somewhat iron complexion, he looked at the courtiers in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "What should I do? Who of you has an idea!"
"..."
The royal study room was quiet.
All people, even those who left behind during the Gao Emperor's period, were not capable of dealing with the problems of the southeast coast, because none of them had really interacted with overseas countries.
Everyone can only talk about their opinions, but the solution has never been able to come up with.
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan naturally couldn't bother to go in for a small matter. He could only tell Xiao Shunzi and the others to serve him well, and specifically instructed the imperial dining room, if the emperor stayed up late at night, he would send some porridge.
He returned to Yonghe Palace and fell asleep nervously.
Early the next morning, after she got up languidly, Ruoshui and the others came in to serve her and wash up. Nan Yan asked, "Did the emperor come up last night?"
Ruo Shui shook his head.
Nan Yan said again: "Return to the bedroom to rest?"
Tingfu, who brought hot water in from outside, said: "The slave servant heard that the emperor had spent the whole night in the Imperial Study Room and just went directly to the morning court."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan became anxious.
He is so disregarding his body!
After washing up, the dining room delivered breakfast. Nan Yan had no appetite. She was holding a bowl of porridge and sighed. He heard a familiar sound of footsteps outside. Then, Zhu Feng said with a smile: "Early morning, why sigh?"
Turning around, he was walking in from outside.
"emperor!"
Nan Yan hurriedly got up and bowed to him. Zhu Feng walked in, looked at the things on the table, and smiled: "It's not bad. Give me a bowl of porridge."
When Nan Yan heard it, before Ruo Shui and the others started, they personally filled him with a bowl of porridge and delivered it to him.
Zhu Feng held a bowl without using vegetables and porridge, so he opened his mouth and sucked in half a bowl of porridge.
Then he gave a long sigh, as if he was very comfortable.
Nan Yan sat aside, not paying attention to eating, looking at his bloodshot eyes, completely red eyes, and large black eyes, and said softly, "Is the emperor busy until just finished? "
Zhu Feng said: "No, I slept for a while in the middle."
I'm afraid it didn't take a while.
She didn't say much, and when Zhu Feng took another sip of porridge, the bowl was bottomed out, and she hurriedly filled him with half a bowl.
But he said softly: "My lord, don't eat too much too quickly, or eat less, so as not to hurt your stomach. Also, don't eat this spicy dish first, it's greasy. This pickled cucumber is better... "
Zhu Feng listened to her and drank another half bowl, although he was not full, he was not hungry.
Looking up outside, the sky is already bright.
The sun also made him dizzy.
Zhu Feng squinted his eyes and said, "I will sleep with you for a while."
