Though He Yi was smiling, his smile was beautiful to the point Nan Yan felt that something was wrong. Hesitating, she whispered out.

“We are only slaves. We can only obey orders.”

Chapter 48 – Who’s the first to go to the Royal Court Hall

聽見她這麼說，鶴衣淡淡的笑了一下，然後說道："也對。"

Hearing her said that, He Yi smiled lightly: “Right.”

"道長還有什麼事，若沒有的話，我要下去做事了。"

"If there is anything else, then I will go down and do my duties"my duties".

"去吧。"

“Yes”

南煙點點頭，便轉身走了，倒是鶴衣站在原地，一直看着她消瘦的背影搖搖晃晃的消失在紅牆碧瓦之間，許久，才輕嘆了一聲。

Nan Yan nodded and turned away… Instead, He Yi kept standing in the original place, looking at her thin figure disappearing. He shaked  off his thought as he sighed after a long time.

不一會兒，廚房那邊就把早飯送到了武英殿，但是接着進來服侍的卻是葉諍。

Soon, the imperial kitchen sent the breakfast to Wu Ying Palace Hall. But then it was Ye Zheng who came in to serve.

許妙音道："哎，剛剛那個宮女呢？"

Xu Miaoyin said, “Oh… What about the palace maid just now?”

葉諍忙說道："回王妃，她下去了。"

Ye Zheng said, “Back to w.a.n.gfei, she went back to her own place.”

"真是沒規矩，王爺還沒讓她下去呢。"

"No one told her to go. w.a.n.g Ye has not even let her to leave.”

"這——"

"This—-"

葉諍小心的看了祝烽一眼，才輕聲道："南煙昨天晚上上了夜。"

Ye Zheng carefully looked at the Zhu Feng, only lightly said:, ” Nan Yan served w.a.n.g Ye yesterday evening.”

"府裡的規矩，上了夜也不耽誤早起服侍王爺。"

“The rules in the palace is not to delay serving w.a.n.g Ye in the morning.”

"她——"

“She—-“

葉諍還有些遲疑，而祝烽已經一邊吃飯，一邊淡淡的說道："前天也是她上夜的。"

Ye Zheng still hesitated, and lookeding at that Zhu Feng. He had already eaten then he said lightly:, “The day before yesterday she was on night serve.”

"……哦。"

“……Oh.”

許妙音的目光微微的閃爍了一下，臉上立刻掛上了笑容："原來是這樣，妾還以爲這個丫頭如此大膽不知事呢。"

Xu Miaoyin's eyes flashed for a moment. With a smile on her face, she said: , “It turned out that this concubine thought the servant was very so bold and ignorant".

祝烽沒有再說什麼，她便也不再開口，一頓飯安安靜靜的吃完了，剛放下碗筷，就聽見鶴衣帶着笑的聲音在門口響起："唔，好香啊。"

Zhu Feng did not say anything,. and sShe also stopped talking as Ye Zheng lay down the dishes. Suddenly, they heard the voice of the He Yi laughing from outside of the door.

"Oh… , Nice Ssmell nice!”

擡頭一看，他已經慢慢悠悠的走了進來。

Looking up, he walked in slowly.

他平日裡在燕王府的時候就比較散漫自在，燕王妃也早已經習慣了這個人這樣，倒是祝烽蹙了一下眉頭："你來了。"

He was more relaxed when he was in the palace of Yan w.a.n.g as his att.i.tude was quite free and undisciplined. Yan w.a.n.gfei had already got used to this person's att.i.tude, on the contrary to Zhu Feng who, he frowned, :”You are here.”

"王爺。"

“w.a.n.g Ye.”

He yYi immediately walked in and saluted him, but and Zhu Zheng still frowned,: “He yYi, you are getting bolder now. Without This Prince command, you make your own initiative and do this.”

鶴衣恭恭敬敬的站在他面前，說道："王爺恕罪。不過王爺責怪過貧道之後，恐怕還得賞一賞王妃。"

He yYi respectfully stood before him and said: “w.a.n.g Ye, please forgive this humble subject. However, after w.a.n.g Ye blamed this poor taoist, I am afraid w.a.n.g Ye still has to reward w.a.n.gfei."

"什麼？"

“Why is that?”

Zhu Feng turned around and looked at Xu Miaoyin, who was somewhat restless sitting: “What does it mean? “

鶴衣笑道："昨夜連夜進城，王妃已經非常倦怠了，卻還到黎府徹夜長談。剛剛聽到聽說，在朝房那邊等候的官員裡——黎子昀，是領頭的。"

He Yi laughed.,”Last night, we entered the city overnight. w.a.n.g fei was very tired, but went to Li Mansion to talk all night long. I just heard that the official who was waiting in at the hallhouse, Li Zi Yun, was the Lord. “

"哦……"”

“Oh…”

祝烽微微挑了一下眉毛，轉頭看向許妙音。

Zhu Feng slightly raised his eyebrows and turned to Xu Miaoyin: “Did you go to Li Mansion? “

"你去了黎府？"

許妙音低下頭，輕聲說道："妾，也只是想爲殿下分憂。

Xu Miaoyin lowered her head as she whispered: “This Concubine also wants thinks to help every His Highness with his worries and difficulties."

"……"

別的人不知道，但祝烽太明白，黎府，黎子昀是怎麼回事了。

Other people did not know, but Zhu Feng knew a lotso much about Li Mansion and Li Zi Yun.

當年高皇帝建國，論功行賞，文臣中居首功的便是他的謀士黎長山，而武將中的首功則是燕王妃的父親，大將軍許遠，這兩個人後來被高皇帝冊封爲左右柱國，共同輔佐朝政。

When the high emperor founded the country, he gave merits and deeds to two persons. The first wasin the place is his literary adviser Li Changshan., and tThe second first merit was in the military commander who was also is the father of Yan w.a.n.gfei, the great general Xu Yuan.These two people were later sealed by the High Emperor as the pillar of the state., and  Jointly a.s.sisting in the government’s political affairs.

後來，黎長山和許遠都相繼去世，但兩家的情誼還在。

Later, Li Changshan and Xu Yuan died one after another, but the friends.h.i.+p between the two families was still there.

雖然祝烽知道，最重要的原因還是因爲自己火燒了內閣大庫的奏摺，但在這種情況下，誰第一個到朝房，對百官是有影響的。

Although Zhu Feng knew this, the most important reason for the officials' presence iwas because he burned the memorial of the past emperor. But iIn this case, who is the first to arrive at the royal court hall would be able to is influencetial to all the other officials.

黎子昀畢竟是黎長山的兒子，父親在朝中的威望還在，他一站出來，自然就是個領頭的作用。

Li Zi Yun, is after all, is the son of Li Changshan, and his father’s prestige in the central court is still presentthere. As soon as he comes out, he becomes is naturally a leader.

祝烽沉默了好一會兒，對許妙音說道："你辛苦了。"

Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, and said to Xu Miaoyin, :”You’rve workeding hard. “

許妙音輕聲道："妾不敢言苦。

Xu Miaoyin softly said,: “This Concubine does not dare to receive His Highness' grace."

她又接着問："那，殿下現在要去朝房了嗎？"

Then she asked,: “iIs Your Highness going to go the Royal Court Hall?”
