Nan Feng bluntly replied, "The Emperor merely cherishes his valuable generals. My husband risks his life on the battlefield, it's only natural for His Majesty to empathize with his family. Honorable Concubine, I have work to do and should not intrude any longer."
With that, Nan Feng hustled away, taking Xiaoqing with her.
They were off to inspect the garden.
When they reached a secluded spot, Xiaoqing commented while walking, "Sister Nan Feng, the Honorable Concubine is truly a beauty, but her speech and gaze are a bit peculiar. She's most likely jealous of you."
Nan Feng chuckled, "It seems you've learned quite a bit from that shopkeeper."
"Such a pity that the Honorable Concubine does not focus her energy properly."
"Let's not bother with this. We should focus on our work."
