Chapter 149: Farewell
However, he never expected that Fan Jingrui's rare sentimentality would be laughed at by others.
Feng Yan, who had just been reading the imperial edict solemnly like a banished immortal, chuckled. "I forgot to tell you, the Japanese supervisor will stay from now on."
"Stay? What do you mean? Is there a third imperial edict?" The fifth prince stared at Feng Yan and asked tentatively.
"I'm not in a position to disclose the details, but from now on, I will be Madam Fan's deputy. Anything that Madam Fan is unable to do, or is unclear about can be referred to me."
Chu Ci: This is called "can't say". I'm afraid even the imperial edict is not as complete as he said. And this tone is too arrogant, isn't it?
Chu Ci turned and looked at Fan Jingrui.
Just as Fan Jingrui was about to explain, Feng Yan introduced himself, "I am Feng Yan, the Director of the Imperial Observatory."
The director of the Imperial Observatory? What was the emperor's intention in gifting him such a great deity?
Chu Ci's eyes rolled. Could it be that the emperor also believed the life story he made up?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Chu Ci suppressed it immediately. Anyone who could become an emperor was like honeycomb coal, full of tricks.
Then there is only one possibility left, which is to show your own value.
Thinking of this, Chu Ci felt relieved. "Can I see the secret decree you mentioned?"
Feng Yan glanced at Fan Jingrui, who was standing beside Chu Ci, and the Fifth Prince, who was not far away. The two of them had tactfully moved away a little.
Feng Yan handed the secret decree he carried with him to Chu Ci without hesitation.
Chu Ci read every word, and even asked "Xing'er" to scan a copy carefully before returning it to Feng Yan.
"Since you were sent by the emperor, all matters concerning the handover with the government in the future will be handed over to you, okay?" At this point, Chu Ci did not dwell on it too much. Instead, he entrusted Feng Yan with an important task from the beginning.
Firstly, it was to reassure Fan Jingrui, and secondly, it was to reassure the emperor.
Feng Yan said solemnly, "Don't worry, Madam. Feng Yan will definitely live up to your trust."
It's a wise saying that professional matters should be left to professionals. As a result, the pork promotion plan, which had previously encountered difficulties, suddenly became extremely smooth.
Even Minghui, who had been like a wooden man before, became much more lively.
And this only took one day.
However, no one present was happy. The reason was simple: the matters in Minyue could not be delayed, and Fan Jingrui and the fifth prince were about to set off.
Fan Jingrui hugged Chu Ci reluctantly and whispered, "My wife, I am going to Minyue this time, and it is hard to predict when I will return. You must take good care of yourself."
Chu Ci had never expected that the rare warm time between the two of them would turn out like this.
But she did not lose interest: "Don't worry, my husband, I will take care of myself. You should also pay more attention to your health and don't overwork yourself."
Hearing this, Fan Jingrui felt even warmer in his heart: "You always say harsh words, but in fact, your heart is softer than anyone else. When encountering problems, don't always bear them alone. Think more about yourself."
"In my husband's eyes, am I someone who is willing to suffer losses?" Chu Ci was unwilling to admit it, so she tried her best to change the subject.
"Don't worry. If there are any difficulties, I will write to you in time."
Could Fan Jingrui not hear Chu Ci's evasiveness? But in Fan Jingrui's eyes, Chu Ci was even more adorable.
"Okay, you must remember to write to your husband. Also, don't force yourself. Do whatever you want. After all, Master Feng will back you up."
At this point, Fan Jingrui was afraid that Chu Ci would be soft-hearted, so he exposed Feng Yan's past: "My wife, don't underestimate Lord Feng. The Feng family is the family that took over the Imperial Observatory in the previous dynasty."
Sure enough, Chu Ci's tone changed. "Don't worry, I understand. Don't worry too much about me, I will be fine. You should also pay attention to safety and don't make me worry."
…
The two of them cuddled together, talking about sweet things, until very late. Fan Jingrui reluctantly said, "Okay, your husband will pay attention. It's getting late, let's go to bed early."
At this time, Chu Ci's double eyelids had begun to "fight", and he nodded lightly when he heard it: "Well, good night."
Then he fell into a deep sleep.
Fan Jingrui gazed at Chu Ci's sleeping face, gently kissed Chu Ci's forehead, and then said, "Good night, I love you."
It’s a pity that the person who should have heard this didn’t hear it, or perhaps Fan Jingrui did it on purpose.
When Chu Ci was sober, he did not dare to express his love too directly.
Even though he knew, Chu Ci had already accepted him.
But he could still feel the barrier in Chu Ci's heart. Although Fan Jingrui didn't know the reason, he didn't want to make Chu Ci feel uncomfortable or alienated from him.
He was afraid that his confession would destroy the delicate balance between them and make Chu Ci feel resentful towards him.
So, he chose to gently kiss Chu Ci on the forehead when she was sleeping, to express his feelings.
He knew that Chu Ci would remember this kiss, but he still wanted to do it because for him, it was the only way he could express his true feelings and the most gentle way for him to express his love.
Although this approach is subtle and restrained, the deep affection it contains remains undiminished.
Chu Ci seemed to feel this strong love in his dream. In a daze, he even promised: "If you don't let me down, I won't let you down either."
Fan Jingrui was startled and stood up to check, only to see that Chu Ci was still sleeping soundly.
But even so, Fan Jingrui felt even more delighted. "So, my lady loves me too, right? If my lady doesn't answer, it means she agrees!"
At this moment, Fan Jingrui seemed to have turned on his sinister mode towards Chu Ci.
If Chu Ci were sober, he would probably not know whether to praise Fan Jingrui for his good learning of "The Art of Thick Black" or to sigh that he put his learning into practice and applied the methods he learned on himself.
So the years are peaceful at this time.
When Chu Ci woke up, Fan Jingrui was nowhere to be seen, but there were two pairs of falcons in the courtyard.
There was a note next to the cage, with many precautions written on it. The handwriting was obviously Fan Jingrui's.
Chu Ci looked at the notes and smiled unconsciously. But she quickly restrained herself: "It's really hard to keep your heart with a man like this!"
Just when Chu Ci was struggling, Qianxue and Qianyan came hand in hand.
She immediately saw the note in Chu Ci's hand, smiled at each other, and said jokingly: "Sister-in-law, big brother hasn't left yet! You are staring at his handwriting in a trance."
Chu Ci came back to his senses after hearing this, and naturally refused to give in. "Don't guess blindly, I'm just thinking about how to tame them!"
"Sister-in-law, if you can tame it, can you give me one?" Qianxue was the first to show her support.
Qianyan is the second one.
However, she wasn't arguing about the falcon, but instead brought the topic back to Fan Jingrui. "How could I possibly give it to you? In my opinion, once my sister-in-law has trained her, she will definitely be the first to write to my eldest brother."
