The Emperor looked at Nan Feng's obstinate appearance, and without saying much, he turned to her and said, "I have sought you out today to seek your advice on a matter."
"I dare not, Your Majesty. You are the Emperor with countless ministers at your disposal. I'm afraid I can't offer much help," Nan Feng said without directly looking at the Emperor. It was considered disrespectful to stare at the Emperor.
The Emperor smiled, "You really hold a grudge against me. However, I believe you can help with this. I heard that you once solved a water usage issue for your village in Da Ping, and you are from the South. So, I want to ask you, do you have any experience in water management?"
It was clear that the Emperor had thoroughly investigated Nan Feng.
"No research, I didn't participate in water management. The reservoir is just a facade, it was solved only with the help of the county Yamen. I merely assisted," Nan Feng spoke truthfully.
