Chapter 673 The Puppet Emperor’s First Choice
Monk said: "The wizard is still in the holy land these days, and it will take some time for him to come back."
“…”
"When they come back, we can find out the truth."
“…”
"Before that, Your Majesty, please be patient here for a few days. Please forgive me if there is any inadequacy in our hospitality."
After saying that, he raised his teacup to her again.
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment, but still raised the teacup and drank the tea in the cup with him. However, this time, she could not taste the sweetness.
Because my heart is full of doubts.
No matter how you look at this person, he doesn't look like a native of Dang.
He doesn't even look like the Emperor of Dan.
He really is like the warm Jiangnan region and the romantic young man on the street.
How could such a person be the ruler of a country?
No wonder Ye Zheng and the others had said before that the King of Beili of the State of Dan had always wanted to manipulate him in order to achieve the goal of controlling the government. Such a person was indeed the first choice for a puppet emperor.
but--
Nan Yan looked at the corner of his mouth that was naturally slightly raised, and the arc that seemed to maintain a smile.
Is it really that simple?
Seeing her looking at him, Monk just smiled and said, "Then we have a deal."
“…”
"Your Highness, please stay in my palace for the time being."
After saying this, it seemed that their conversation came to an end.
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't you want to ask me?"
Monk had already turned his head to look at the river beside him and the scenery on the shore, but when he heard her words, he turned back and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
"Imperial Seal."
“…”
"Aren't you here to find me because you want to find the whereabouts of the Imperial Seal?"
“…”
"Just now, you said there was a matter concerning the survival of the country. I think you were talking about your imperial seal. Why didn't you ask me?"
The corners of Monk's mouth curled up slightly again, and then he said, "You don't know."
“…”
"If you knew, the emperor of your Yan country would have gone to find our jade seal long ago. By then, our country would have been in chaos."
Nan Yan didn't say anything.
Monk added, "Even if the clue to the Jade Seal is indeed with Princess Tana, or in other words, with her child, we still need to prove that you are her child."
“…”
"So, I'm not in a hurry."
This person is really smart.
He also does things step by step, without being impatient at all.
Although previous rumors said that he was the weakest contender for the throne, after several conversations, Nan Yan vaguely felt that this was not the case.
unless--
Unless the royal family of the Neng Kingdom is full of powerful people who can defy the heavens!
Of course, this is not impossible.
In this world, there are always people better than you. Perhaps there are some outstanding people in the royal family of the Neng Kingdom that I have not seen.
However, I should be able to see him at the dinner tomorrow.
Nan Yan was still thinking about it when she heard a splash. She looked down and saw that Monk took a piece of dessert on the table, broke it into small pieces and threw it into the river.
Suddenly, a group of fish rushed up to grab the food.
The surface of the water suddenly began to boil as if flowers were blooming.
"hehe……"
Monk laughed.
Nan Yan had seen his smile before. Because one corner of his mouth was naturally upturned, his whole face exuded a softness. When he smiled, his long eyebrows curved slightly, making him look even more gentle.
He smiled, turned around and said to Nan Yan: "Do you want to try it?"
"ah?"
“Feed the fish.”
“…”
"I love coming here every day to feed the fish when I have nothing to do."
“…”
"It's fun to watch them fighting over food."
Before Nan Yan could answer, he handed the snack in his hand to her and said, "Break it into small pieces and feed them. They can't eat too big pieces, and you can't feed them much."
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment.
Then, she followed his instructions and broke the snacks into small pieces and threw them down. Sure enough, the fish rushed up one after another, even jumping out of the water to catch the snacks she threw.
It's really interesting.
Looking at the fish eating greedily, Monk's smile deepened.
He said, "I come here every day to feed them."
“…”
"Looking at their carefree appearance, I feel like I have no worries at all."
every day?
Nan Yan asked with some doubt: "Don't you have to deal with government affairs?"
Meng Ke took another piece of dessert, broke it into small pieces and threw it down, saying, "There are people to help me handle the affairs of state, so I don't have to worry about it."
“…”
"Let's feed the fish, it's fun."
Nan Yan couldn't help but look at him again.
Isn’t this emperor’s life too easy?
Just as he was thinking about it, Monk pointed down and said, "Look, the biggest one is coming."
“…”
"Feed it quickly, otherwise it will swallow the small fish."
Nan Yan looked down and saw, as expected, a big fat fish slowly swimming over. It was at least two or three times bigger than the surrounding fish, and its mouth was wide open, so wide that it could really swallow small fish.
Nan Yan threw the snack down.
The big fish immediately turned over and jumped up, swallowing a large piece in one gulp.
Monk clapped his hands happily and said with a smile: "Good job."
“…”
"That's it. Eat more."
Looking at his happy expression, Nan Yan was a little confused as to whether this man was smart or lazy.
Or perhaps, a combination of shrewdness and laziness.
After a while, the two men threw all the cakes into the river, and the fish in the river were full.
Monk clapped his hands and said, "Alright, it's hot outside too. My dear concubine, don't get a heat stroke. I'll take you back to rest."
"Um."
Although the pavilion was well ventilated, the weather was still a bit hot and she was sweating all over.
The two men stood up and walked back.
Returning to the palace, Monk smiled and said, "My Lady, have a good rest. I will come to accompany you tomorrow."
“…”
"Please also attend the dinner tomorrow night."
Nan Yan said, "Since this is a welcome party for me, I naturally cannot not attend."
"Goodbye."
After saying that, Monk turned and left.
Looking at his elegant back, Nan Yan stood under the eaves without moving for a long time.
This person gives people a very strange feeling.
But no matter what, we can't take it lightly.
Being in the Kingdom of Neng is like being in a wolf's den. You must be careful.
Besides, there are still many mysteries here that have not been solved.
for example--
During the last battle in Peking, who was the one who sent me that letter?
This one thing alone is enough to make Nan Yan confused.
That was almost the key to deciding a war, and the person who helped him, the one who sent the letter by carrier pigeon, was actually a member of the royal family of the Neng Kingdom.
It is possible, in this palace.
Maybe, we can see it tomorrow night.
