The sound of wine gurgling could be heard. Ji Wan looked at Xiang Yang's increasingly frightened face, and a rare sigh welled up in his heart.
A few days ago, they were partners fighting side by side.
How come it has come to a life-and-death situation now?
Thinking of this, Ji Wan raised his head and put the peach blossom wine in his hand into his mouth.
When you take a sip of the wine, you'll have a hint of the green, astringent flavor of peach petals, but as time passes, that astringency transforms into a more mellow and lingering aroma.
It tastes silky and as light as cotton gauze. It is a good wine.
Xiangyang's eyes dimmed completely as Ji Wan slowly drank the wine.
Next drink, let’s toast to Xiangyang.
Don't just follow anyone underground without knowing the situation. Lou Shao was anxious to get away from her for the sake of power and influence.
Xiangyang just wanted to repay the favor.
Is this a kind of giving up military power over a cup of wine?
Thinking of this, Ji Wan picked up the wine jug and turned to look at Jiang Jian, whose face had turned pale.
"Zifeng, if I had been like this when I first started, do you think you could have survived?"
Jiang Jian watched the so-called "releasing military power with a cup of wine" today.
My heart has been shaking and my legs are trembling. Now that I hear Ji Wan ask me this, I feel relieved.
But there was always a feeling of powerlessness that he was about to be killed.
"How could Your Highness think so? Jian never intended to take away Your Highness's soldiers."
Jiang Jian knew that the mistakes he made and Lou Shao made were not on the same level at all.
He just slacked off a bit when His Highness personally visited Qingshi Province.
But now Lou Shao wants to take away the troops, the troops! Those are the soldiers that His Highness has painstakingly trained!
If Lou Shao were to take him away so easily, Your Highness would not be able to seriously train his soldiers in the future.
If you can just follow anyone, what does Your Highness need these soldiers for?
Lou Shao is also a fool. He left on his own. There is a deputy general in Your Highness's tent to hold him back. Your Highness will never kill that fool Lou Shao without caring about the deputy general's face.
But I didn't expect that he was so greedy that he wanted to take everyone away safely.
Now that he has ended up in this situation, it can be said that he has brought this upon himself.
But Lou Shao had helped him in the past, and he didn't want to end up with a bad reputation after his death.
"Your Highness, Jian would like to ask Your Highness to allow General Lou and his family to rest in peace."
Ji Wan didn't say anything, just waved his hand and let him do it.
After drinking three cups of wine, he felt dizzy when he returned to the Zhenbei Palace.
Yang Guan cleaned Ji Wan's cheeks and hands swiftly, and then helped her lean gently on the bed.
"Your Highness, I will fetch you some water to cleanse yourself."
Ji Wan leaned against the carved pillar beside the bed and hummed softly.
To be honest, at times like this, she always felt insecure. Was it because she was too bad that Lou Shao wanted to change his lord so easily?
Change a colleague, and also change a... friend.
Just like how Lou Shao came to Ji Wan without hesitation.
Yang Guan gently took off her shoes and socks, scooped up some warm water and poured it on the back of her feet.
She had regained some feeling in her right leg, so when the water splashed on it, she felt a little itchy and curled her toes.
People finally perked up a little, and when they lowered their heads, they could see Yang Guan's serious expression.
Today, Ji Wan did not let Yang Chuan wear the eunuch's clothes, but let him wear his own casual clothes.
So he didn't have a eunuch hat on his head to get in the way.
At this time, you could still see Yang Guan's dark hair, all tied together.
As she watched, Ji Wan felt itchy and put her hands on Yang Guan's head, occasionally picking up two strands of smooth black hair to play with.
Well, it feels very good, and Yang Guan looks like a well-behaved little puppy when he squats.
He was delighted, feeling the gentle pull on his head.
He paused his hand movements, lowered his head, and let Ji Wan insert her fingers into his hair, then hooked her fingers upwards and pulled out many strands of hair.
Then he let it down again and repeated the process until all his tied hair fell down.
The foot-washing water in the room had already been taken away by Deji, and Yang Guan also cleaned Ji Wan's feet.
Now he was holding Ji Wan's feet in his palms and wrapping them up. He was kneeling on the ground obediently, letting Ji Wan do what he wanted in his hands.
"Get up, Yang Guan. Stay in the room and keep me company from now on."
Yang Guan responded happily, with a smile on his face, and spread his bedding in the outer room.
He and His Highness have never rested in the same room since returning to the Zhenbei Palace.
Now it can truly be considered a blessing from heaven!
Ji Wan slept soundly. When she woke up the next day, she heard Yang Guan kneeling beside her bed and reporting quietly, "Your Highness, Madam Xiling has sent someone to deliver a message.
You are now the princess of Ningxi Kingdom, and those three states and counties are your fiefdoms.
The people of the fiefdom also need you.'
By the way, along with Madam Xiling's gifts, there are also pearls, jade, gold, silver, land deeds, etc. given to you by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Emperor."
"Okay, I understand. Let Afeng go and build a teleportation array over there. I'll take it there when the time comes."
Yang Guan bowed, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Your Highness, why doesn't Mr. Lin come back to Donglin Kingdom with you?"
Ji Wan yawned and took the towel handed to him by Yang Guan: "I asked Chan Hua to go and see why only the royal family of Ningxi Kingdom can practice and even improve their qualifications.
I've already found a lot of information, and I think it should be back soon in the next few days."
Yang Guan understood and didn't ask any more questions.
Ji Wan washed his face and finally felt much more awake. He went to the Government Affairs Office immediately.
When I entered, I found that the room was already full of people, and several counselors and generals had started to eat breakfast.
Tuoba Feng is not here. He has probably packed up and is preparing to leave for Ningxi Kingdom.
"You all came very early today." Ji Wan picked up the bowl without hesitation and joined the breakfast team.
This was the first time Cao Ke had seen Ji Wan in person at the Government Affairs Office since the battle of Zhengyang City. He was surprised. "Oh, what a rare guest! Your Highness, why did you choose to come to the Government Affairs Office today?"
Ji Wan: “…”
"Oh, Cao Xingzhi, please give me some face, or I will punish you right now!"
Doesn't she have any shame?! Handling government affairs at the Government Affairs Office is her job! What's wrong with her coming here now?!
Sui Ruoxu: “…”
He must be dreaming. A subordinate actually had the guts to tease His Highness.
However, it seems that when the subordinates teasing the lord happens next to His Highness, it seems to become reasonable.
"Hahahaha." Cao Ke's gray hair flew up in disarray due to his laughter.
Pan Zhuo, like Cao Ke, rubbed the goatees on his chin and jokingly said, "Your Highness clearly misses breakfast at the Government Affairs Office.
Brother Xingzhi, do you understand? "
