Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 185 Royal Decree

The guards found Shi Wen and naturally wanted to return to Nanyue. Coincidentally, an envoy from the royal court came to visit, and Shi Zhun also gave orders to Shi Huan.

After discussion, everyone returned to Nanyue together.

Shi Wen's carriage drove straight into the palace, which was a reward given to him by Shi Zhun. Shi Huan could only walk into the palace in misery.

At that time, Shi Wen, Shi Jia and Shi Huan happened to be in the trial of crown prince. Unexpectedly, Shi Wen's immortality Gu backfired. Now the crown prince position is undecided, and everyone thinks that Shi Huan will be the one to take it.

Shi Wen brought Ran Qianxi into the palace, where Shi Zhun was reviewing memorials.

"My son, please see your father."

Shi Zhun slowly raised his head and saw Ran Qianxi, who seemed very familiar to him, even though he had no idea that Tan Qianhuan had activated the secret technique.

"Meet King Nanyue."

Shi Zhun put down the memorial and walked down the platform. Ran Qianxi looked at him and thought it was all a story, but he saw through it at a glance.

"Young lady, have you met me?"

Ran Qianxi was stunned and immediately played dumb.

"Perhaps I have seen a beauty like your Majesty in my dreams."

Shi Wen frowned. What she said was very inappropriate.

Shi Zhun smiled and immediately arranged a welcoming banquet for Ran Qianxi.

"Order someone to prepare a banquet to welcome the young lady and my son."

When the dinner started, Ran Qianxi, who was the closest to Shi Huan, sat next to Shi Zhun. As the saying goes, no one knows a father better than his son, and he instantly sensed Shi Zhun's feelings for Ran Qianxi.

Ran Qianxi raised her upper body and picked up a piece of sweet and sour spareribs for Shi Huan.

"Yun Shuang, eat this, it's your favorite."

She spoke as she held the food, not feeling uncomfortable at all, as if she were at home.

"Thank you, Xier."

Ran Qianxi smiled happily and added more dishes for Shi Wen and Shi Zhun.

"Eat more."

There were three of them sitting at the same table, but she picked up food for Shi Zhun so naturally as if she was putting it into her own mouth.

After dinner, Shi Zhun summoned the imperial teacher.

The palace gates were locked, and Ran Qianxi and Shi Wen both came to Shi Huan's palace. She picked up the lion cat in her arms and walked into the back hall in a familiar manner, which stunned the two of them for a moment.

"good night."

Shi Wen walked into the side room, and Shi Huan took out the ancient book that recorded the art of reversal.

At midnight, Shi Zhun had not yet slept. He was thinking back to what the national teacher had said today. Ran Qianxi was destined to be the mother of the country. If the time, place and people were right, she could bring countless blessings to the country.

"Is it all destined?"

He didn't know Ran Qianxi's identity in her previous life, he only thought that in this life, God had pity on Nan Yue and sent her to him.

The next day—

Ran Qianxi woke up feeling refreshed and couldn't let go of the lion cat. Shi Huan had already seen through this rebirth.

"Good morning, Xier."

Ran Qianxi walked up happily, and Shi Wen immediately appeared behind her.

"Aqian."

When he was in a dilemma, the royal edict from Shi Zhun came from the palace gate.

"The king has given an order."

The three men came forward one after another and all knelt on the ground.

"Send Ran Qianxi to see the attendant."

Ran Qianxi suddenly raised her head, her face full of disbelief.

"Pass me?"

The chief eunuch bowed in a pretentious manner, but it was actually a warning from a villain who had succeeded.

"No rudeness."

Ran Qianxi glanced at him. No servant had ever dared to speak to her like this.

Shi Zhun must have some ulterior motive for suddenly asking her to accompany him. Seizing this opportunity, she kicked the eunuch chief out.

"Asshole! Are you rude enough to let Shi Zhun speak? I'm not letting a slave like you take advantage of the power of others!"

The chief eunuch ran out with a terrified look in his eyes, his buttocks between his legs, still shouting in a motherly voice.

"Oh, how bold, how bold..."

Ran Qianxi chased the steward away and followed him out.

"I'll be back in a bit, don't wait for me to eat."

In the royal palace, the chief eunuch was telling Shi Zhun about the evil deeds. Ran Qianxi walked in straight away, as if she was walking into her own home.

"Are you going to file a complaint?"

Shi Zhun suddenly raised his eyes and saw Ran Qianxi had already walked to the table.

She glared at the butler who was kneeling on the ground, and he instantly became silent.

"It seems that you haven't finished your apology yet. You came at the right time."

After saying this, Ran Qianxi bowed respectfully to Shi Zhun.

"Your Majesty, I also have a complaint to file."

Shi Zhun looked at her with a smile on his face. The king's romantic character was fully displayed by him at this moment.

"Then tell me what injustice you have suffered?"

"My greatest injustice is that I have offended the chief steward in some way, which led him to falsely convey the king's decree to scare me."

The steward immediately fell to the ground to testify, and a sound was made.

"I dare not, I don't have..."

Shi Zhun glanced at him lightly, then cast his burning eyes on Ran Qianxi.

"So what royal decree did he falsely convey?"

"Your Majesty, I am illiterate, arrogant, and domineering, and I don't understand the romance of the world. He actually said that you want to summon me to accompany you. How can this be true?"

Shi Zhun smiled faintly, and inexplicably felt that Ran Qianxi was different from others, she was eloquent, bold and careful.

"What if it's true?"

"I think your majesty is not a mediocre person. You can see that I have a lot of bad deeds."

"Hahaha."

Shi Zhun laughed a few times and walked down. Ran Qianxi was so nervous that she was picking her feet.

I thought to myself: "Damn it, Nan Yue is so old, how can I still run into him."

"If I admit it, wouldn't that justify my reputation as a mediocre person?"

Ran Qianxi smiled awkwardly, her shoulders already feeling sore from holding the chair.

"So this royal decree must be fake..."

"Hahahaha!"

Shi Zhun laughed a few more times, then picked her up and carried her into the back hall.

"I cannot see your bad deeds."

Ran Qianxi stared in his arms, not daring to move, and only dared to speak after entering the bedroom.

"No, Your Majesty... Can't you see that I'm your son's lover? Are you just blatantly forcing me to take you away?"

"I am the King of Nanyue. You can bring all the women in Nanyue into my palace."

"But I'm from Changguo... It's not appropriate..."

Shi Zhun smiled faintly, untied his belt and threw it on the bed.

"What's wrong with me making you queen?"

"No, I'm a jinx to my husband."

"Hahahaha!"

Shi Zhun laughed a few more times and pressed her under him.

"My queen, second only to the emperor and above all others, can share this kingdom with me? Why not?"

Shi Zhun kissed her neck bit by bit. With the muscle memory from her previous life, Ran Qianxi did not feel disgusted.

“But I don’t want to be one.”

Shi Zhun slowly unzipped her dress and she did not resist. Shi Zhun stopped in surprise.

"If you don't want to be the boss, why don't you resist?"

"You said you are the king of Nanyue. I am just a commoner. It is useless to resist..."

Hearing this, Shi Zhun suddenly stood up.

"You are good at speaking, I understand."

Seeing him tidying up his clothes, Ran Qianxi slowly raised the corners of her mouth and escaped a disaster.

"If you don't want to, I won't force you, but the king's decree is true. Accompany me to go hunting."

The arrogant commands that poured into his ears were far less gentle and likable than in the previous life.

Ran Qianxi stood up swiftly and adjusted her thin skirt.

"Okay."

After Shi Zhun had put on his clothes, he turned around, hugged her and kissed her.

"It's really different."
