He Yi said softly,

“Your Majesty, you have not drank anything for more than half a day. Do you want to eat something first ?”  

The two eyes of Zhu Feng only looked at the decrees. Half sighing, he ordered,

“Tea.”

He Yi looked to the side.

After listening, Nan Yan hastily took action. Moving to the other side of the hall, she steeped a cup of tea. Then she opened a small drawer and pulled out several chrysanthemums that were inside.

After thinking about it, she went in the direction of the tea table and put some rock sugar into the tea.

The little eunuch Xiao Shunzi, who was waiting by the side,

“Female Officer Si, His Majesty does not like sweets.”

Nan Yan spoke up,

“You can rest a.s.sured that it will not taste sweet, but it will make His Majesty more comfortable.”

Young Eunuch Xiao Shunzi laughed ,

“You really are quite something.”

Nan Yan just smiled. But just as she was about to bring in some cool tea, she heard footsteps coming from the door.

Looking up only to see Xia Yunting coming in with her maid.

Nan Yan saw her and was stunned for a moment before hurrying forward with Xiao Shunzi to salute

“This slave servant greets concubine Zhao Yi.”

Xia Yunting had a smile on her face and said calmly,

“Get up.”

She looked inside again and whispered:

“This concubine heard that the Emperor has been handling governmental affairs until now.

Nan Yan lightly said,

“This slave servant also does not know and has just come over.”

“Oh.”

Xia Yunting nodded and saw the cup in her hand. She then question,

“Is this the tea that the Emperor wants to drink?”

Nan Yan nodded.

Xia Yunting immediately laughed,

“Well, give it to me. This concubine shall send it to His Majesty.”

After speaking she then took the cup from Nan Yan's hand. Xiao Shunzi was stunned and  before he was able to say something. Nan Yan rushed ahead of him. Softly saying:

“This, will only give a lot of work to concubine Xia.”

Xia Yunting cheerfully spoke,

“You follow His Majesty as closely as an aide to do errands then. It is hard for you. This is a little thing, just let me do it.”

Nan Yan nodded and stepped back.

And Xia Yunting walked to the other side carefully with the cup of tea and lifted the bead curtain. A rattling sound made Zhu Feng turn around. When He Yi saw her, he immediately bent over and saluted:

“Greetings concubine Zhao Yi."

Xia Yunting walked up to the front of Zhu Feng and knelt on the floor,

“His Majesty.”

Zhu Feng frowned, “What are you doing here ?”

Xia Yunting softly uttered,

“This concubine heard that the Emperor has been dealing with the countries affairs. This concubine was worried about the Emperor's dragon body, so this concubine came here specially to have a look.”

Zhu Feng looked at her coming up and eclipsing the hot sun, her face all red in the sunlight,

“There was no need to come here, Zhen knows Zhen's own body. You may get up. “

Xia Yunting got up and immediately served the cup into his hands.

Indeed, after a whole morning's work, not even a little water had moistened his throat. Plus just a moment ago a intense mood had just erupted. Indeed, his throat was unbearably hot and anxious. Zhu Feng held the cup with both hands and took a drink.

The unexpected coolness of the tea with a hint of sweetness suddenly extinguished his anger.

Zhu Feng could not help nodding,

“This tea is good.”

As soon as Xia Yunting heard his complement, her face instantly rose up into a smile,

“The Emperor loves to drink it, that is good.”

Zhu Feng took another drink and the faint aftertaste of sweetness returning made him more comfortable. When he looked at Xia Yunting again, his breath slowed down and he asked,

“Have you eaten ?”

“This concubine was concerned about his majesty and was also unable to eat.”

Zhu Feng thought about it,

“No matter what, Xiao Shunzi, set the table and let concubine Xia eat here.”

Xia Yunting listened and hastily said,

"Thanking the Emperor!”
