…
When Xia Fan woke up, he found himself lying on a soft bed with a red ribbon on his head, which was spread from the top of the bed beam to the ground.
The bedding exudes the fragrance of gardenia and is just right fluffy. It is obvious that someone has taken care of this bed frequently to keep it in the most comfortable state.
There are only a handful of people in Jinxia who can own such a luxurious bed.
He instantly realized where he was now.
"Are you awake?" Someone suddenly asked.
Xia Fan turned around and found that Ning Wanjun was sitting next to him. Yes, this big bed could accommodate two people. The other person was not sitting on a chair, but sitting on the bedside, only one arm away from him. separated.
She was neither wearing a princess dress nor regular clothes, but a simple white gauze dress, which felt a bit like a nightgown. This kind of unkempt appearance obviously only appears when facing the people closest to him.
Xia Fan also noticed that his coat and lining had also been taken off and replaced with clean shorts. Considering that the princess did not want a person who had been crowded on the ship for more than half a month to climb into her bed, this was understandable.
"Are you okay?" He sat up directly, grabbed Ning Wanjun's shoulders and looked at her carefully.
The latter was stunned for a moment, and then an unnatural blush appeared on his face.
"You're too close!"
Ning Wanjun grabbed his hand and pushed it away.
Xia Fan took a breath, but the opponent was still so strong.
"It seems that you have almost recovered."
"Yes, this is your credit." Ning Wanjun raised her chin slightly, "...Thank you."
She originally wanted to imitate her predecessors' practice of sleeping with their feet together to show trust and closeness, but when she realized that it was a bit embarrassing to have their feet together, she switched to leaning on the same side.
But she didn't expect that the other party would react like this when he woke up. Most people would be at a loss if they saw the princess getting close to her now, or would be very respectful, so he dared to step forward, which actually frightened her.
However, Ning Wanjun was used to Xia Fan's unreasonable thoughts.
"I didn't expect that after three months of waking up, Jinxia would still be the same as before. Nothing has changed much." She looked at Xia Fan and said, "Are you really not interested in the throne at all?"
Before she was seriously injured, she entrusted Jinxia to the other party, and she had actually considered this possibility.
Even if Xia Fan doesn't risk going to the West Pole, no one can blame him.
Coupled with his own instructions, it would be no difficulty for him to take over all the power in Shenzhou.
For Ning Wanjun, as long as he continues to eliminate the royal family, he can achieve his wish.
However, this guy didn't even have a chance to bring it to his lips.
It was hard for her to imagine that there was such a person in the world who could treat the throne above ten thousand people as if it were nothing.
"It's better for you to take care of such a troublesome matter." Xia Fan smiled, "I said, as long as it allows me to implement my ideas, other things are not that important."
"But you saved me after all. If you have merit, you should be rewarded."
"Then what does Your Highness want to reward me?" Xia Fan raised a slight smile.
It can be seen that he doesn't care much about what this reward is.
Ning Wanjun, on the other hand, fell into silence.
Those five years of experience had confirmed one thing for her.
After spending time with the person in front of me, some things have gradually changed. If before coming to Jinxia, the only thing she thought about was revenge, and she never considered anything after that, it was different now.
She began to think about what kind of life she would live after her mother's revenge was avenged, and she gained an additional expectation in this imagination.
Ning Wanjun never wanted to deceive herself.
She really likes him.
This kind of favor has gone beyond the boundaries of monarch and minister.
But now is not the time to talk about that kind of thing. Before Ning Weiyuan and his mother were removed together, and the entire territory of Qi State was firmly under control, she was not suitable to consider life-long events in advance.
No one can tell when the enemy's counterattack will be launched. She may die at any time - just like when she faced the big demon by the Jiujiang River.
Fortunately, she has a unique advantage.
That is, she is a princess and may become the king of Qi Kingdom in the future.
"I will reward you with half of the world." After a moment, Ning Wanjun said slowly.
"Can the world be divided?" Xia Fan raised his eyebrows.
"After I become the king of a country, I naturally have the final say." She replied in a tone that left no room for doubt. Of course, the world cannot be divided. It is said that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, unless they are all members of the same family.
Even if he doesn't understand it now, he will definitely understand it in the future.
"By the way," before the other party could ask more questions, Ning Wanjun changed the subject again, "Aren't you married yet?"
"Ahem..." Xia Fan almost choked on his saliva, "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
"It's nothing," she smiled lightly, "You'd better hurry up."
This is another advantage of the monarch.
No matter how many wives or concubines he marries, they will not hinder her status.
"To be honest... Your Highness is a little strange today." Xia Fan curled his lips.
"Call my name when no one is around." Ning Wanjun moved her body and leaned gently against him, "Tell me about your trip to the West Pole. Although I have heard Qian Yan and others talk about it in general, the specific situation I still know very little. Why did Princess Mu Ye want to come to Jinxia, and what happened to climbing the Dragon Tower? I want to know in detail."
She obviously felt that she was too close just now, but now she takes the initiative to come closer. I really don't know what she is thinking. Xia Fan sighed silently, "I'm afraid this will take a long time."
"It doesn't matter, we have one night, don't we? You can rest in the palace today." Ning Wanjun said with a smile.
…
Early in the morning, when Qiuyue saw Xia Fan walking out of the palace, she lowered her head respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Xia, would you like breakfast?"
The latter couldn't help but be stunned and looked at the other party suspiciously.
Is this really Qiuyue? It feels like a different person.
Not only that, even the looks from the surrounding guards became different.
If it was just respect before, now there is a hint of intimacy and envy in their eyes.
"Let's arrange something casually early." Ning Wanjun's voice came from behind - after listening to stories all night, not only was she not tired at all, but she looked radiant, with a touch of softness between her eyebrows. Even after changing into a floor-length princess robe, she no longer looked as out of place as before. "We have to go to the Secretariat for a meeting later, so it won't take too much time."
"Yes." Qiu Yue responded brightly.
At this moment, a guard ran over quickly and presented the letter in his hand to the two of them, "Your Royal Highness, Mr. Xia, this is the urgent letter received this morning. It was sent from the west of Jinzhou. The messenger Unknown, but specified to be sent to the person in charge of the Secretariat."
The people in charge are basically Xia Fan and Mo Yun.
Xia Fan took the letter and opened it, and lines of beautiful text were immediately displayed in front of his eyes.
He was impressed by the handwriting.
After the other party lost most of his eyesight, it took him a long time to get his notes back to the previous level.
But even so, it still looks pleasing to the eye.
The letter writer is Luo Qingqing.
