Chapter 743 Phoenix Returns to Its Nest (29)
Even after Wang Shijun went out into the street, she was still unhappy.
He wanted to leave the palace with His Majesty, or build a market in the palace so that he and His Majesty could stroll around together.
As if oblivious to Wang Shijun's emotions, Nanxing asked, "Shijun, how long have you been in the palace?"
"His Majesty and I are childhood sweethearts, a bond that none of you can compare to."
Nanxing smiled and said, "Then His Majesty must treat you very well."
Wang Shijun fell silent as he thought about Xiong Bufan's actions over the past two years. He couldn't say whether they were good or bad, but he knew that His Majesty loved him; otherwise, the harem wouldn't have left him all alone.
Nanxing: "The Phoenix Dynasty is really different from our Southern Liang Kingdom. In the Southern Liang Kingdom, a man can marry one wife and many concubines."
"A fickle woman will eventually be divorced by her husband."
Wang Shijun despised these lowly men the most. In his opinion, only someone like His Majesty was the kind of man one could entrust one's life to.
Hearing these words, Nanxing felt that he had a long and arduous road ahead.
I don't know who came up with this terrible idea, but they said you could only choose one: either turn the emperor against him or become a concubine in the harem.
The men of the Southern Liang Kingdom can resolve any conflict after just one drink; if not, they'll have two.
"My Lord, I would like to invite you to dinner and drinks."
Wang Shijun: "No, let's take it back. I want His Majesty to have a taste as well."
He still has a chance to come out; it seems His Majesty has never left the palace.
Nanxing scratched his head. It was too difficult to win this man over. Maybe he should just go and win over Feng Wang instead, and consider it as him sacrificing himself for the country.
However, the Phoenix King was indeed rather ugly; its size was equivalent to twice that of a woman from this country, and it was also quite fierce.
If it really succeeds, I'll probably be torn to pieces by Ho-Oh.
Wang Shijun thought Nanxing had regretted his decision and cursed him inwardly for being stingy. He then insisted on going into the restaurant.
After Nanxing realized what was happening, he quickly gave chase.
"My lord, my lord?"
Wang Shijun began ordering, "Pack all your signature dishes into one serving, I want to take them back for my lady to eat."
"it is good."
Nanxing: "I want one too."
The woman eating nearby heard the noise, looked up and saw two stunningly handsome men standing there, and couldn't help but point and whisper.
Most of the men around were of average appearance, so they were eager to take a good look at these two stunning beauties.
They would never dare to approach and harass them, as the current emperor has extremely low tolerance for the abduction of men from the common people.
Once discovered, their property will be confiscated.
Wang Shijun noticed that someone was watching her and glared at them. These people were reckless, daring to covet His Majesty's man.
The women laughed and said, "That's a strong personality, and I like that kind of person."
"I don't like it either, but it's a pity that this person has already styled his hair like a married man."
But the other one is great, I like it.
Wang Shijun's face darkened, and the guards beside her rushed forward, shouting, "How dare you! This is Wang Shijun, who is highly favored by His Majesty in the palace!"
How dare you discuss the emperor's favor in private!
The women quickly knelt down, pleading, "Please spare us, sir! We won't do it again, we'll never dare to do it again!"
"Get out of here now, or we'll rip out your tongues."
"Yes Yes Yes."
The women scrambled away, and Wang Shijun smiled at Nanxing, "Thank you."
He really didn't know what to do, after all, he was a very gentle person.
Nanxing: "You're welcome."
Wang Shijun was just being polite. If this person wanted to make a move, he would have done so already. Why wait for these people to suppress him?
The waiter served the food quickly, but the food box also cost money.
While Wang Shijun was in the palace, his salary was paid as usual. Although Xiong Bufan did not give him any bonuses, he was still well-off.
He paid for the food box and meals himself.
Nanxing touched his nose, having given away only his share.
After receiving the food, Wang Shijun was determined to go back. "Let's go back. Food tastes better when it's hot."
“You are so good to your emperor. It’s rare to see a woman so good to her husband in our region.”
This man finally said something that pleased him: "My relationship with His Majesty is naturally different."
"Nanjing University student, you should find a woman to marry."
"I already have a fiancée, and we've been childhood sweethearts."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shijun's caution lessened somewhat. "Congratulations, congratulations."
Nanxing stopped talking and simply walked back. It was true that he had a childhood sweetheart, but he didn't want to marry her.
Ever since receiving the money and grain, Xiong Bufan has been afraid that others would falsify or deceive her, so she kept asking people to check whether the rice was old, and sometimes she even checked it herself.
Liu Tong's smile never faded; no one dislikes receiving money.
Since falling ill, Imperial Censor Li had been recuperating at home, in a semi-retired state, and he did not want to see Xiong Bufan causing trouble.
After returning to the palace, Wang Shijun hurriedly brought food and waited in the imperial study for Xiong Bufan to finish his court session.
"Did you bring all of these back for me?"
"It is Your Majesty, I thought you would like it."
The palace servants laid out the food that the king had brought, one by one, on the table. The exquisite food was very appetizing.
When Wang Shijun served food to Xiong Bufan, she said, "Your Majesty, I did not poison the food."
Xiong Bufan: "I believe you."
It's not a matter of belief or disbelief; the problem is that she's already immune to poison, so even if she were poisoned, it wouldn't have any effect.
Wang Shijun was very pleased to hear this and kept putting several more dishes on Xiong Bufan's plate.
Xiong Bufan: "Thank you."
Wang Shijun smiled gently and said nothing.
Since entering the palace, Nanxing has been separated from Wang Shijun and is currently sitting in her own palace.
Envoys have already begun to return home. He also wants to go back, but he can't leave.
A servant named Bai Lang took out a letter and said, "Your Highness, the King has sent a letter."
"Let me see."
Bai Lang respectfully handed over the letter. He was the Second Prince's personal attendant, specifically responsible for delivering messages.
The letter largely asked about the situation and when he would return.
……
"Your Majesty, I believe you can forge a lasting alliance with the Southern Liang Kingdom."
The marriage alliance naturally involved Nanxing and other women from the court; Wang Shijun did not believe what was said during the day.
Xiong Bufan looked up, his face blank, and stared at Wang Shijun, beginning to wonder what the man meant.
"It's best if you don't get involved in matters of the court."
Wang Shijun bowed his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Xiong Bufan thought she was a genius because she cleverly concealed the fact that she didn't know any idioms.
Kongkong thought Xiong Bufan was only so-so, but he was quite impressive for being able to intimidate people.
Wang Shijun was still not giving up and continued, "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Southern Liang Kingdom has a fiancée in the Southern Liang Kingdom, who is his childhood sweetheart."
"What's it to me? I don't have any money to give him as a wedding gift."
Seeing that Xiong Bufan had no intention of taking Nanxing, Wang Shijun happily said, "Good."
