As she spoke, Quan Ji placed a kiss on the corner of Jun Chenlan's mouth.
This kiss was unlike Quan Ji's usual clean and decisive style; instead, it was lingering and deep, making one restless and feeling quite refreshed.
It's so captivating that you'll want to linger.
As the two kissed more often, even someone as inexperienced in matters of the heart as Kwon Ji became increasingly skilled at kissing.
Her eyes held a captivating allure.
The kiss was so intense that Jun Chenlan almost lost control, her face turning red from her ears to her cheeks. When they finally separated, she was panting heavily.
Quan Ji pinched his chin, asking him with obvious aggression:
"So... are you satisfied with the reward I gave you?"
Quan Ji's voice naturally carries a hint of coldness, but at this moment, this coldness not only failed to extinguish the fire, but instead stirred a sense of excitement within her.
But we agreed that we could only meet during our honeymoon in the Xinmeng Empire...
Jun Chenlan chose to restrain himself.
He stared at Quan Ji, his ears turning bright red, and he began to stammer, "I...you...I...I...I don't know."
No matter how many times Quan Ji took the initiative, he could not refuse her advances and could not say that he did not like them.
It's hard to figure out.
It feels so good... but it's also so uncomfortable.
But you don't hate it; on the contrary, it's addictive.
Quan Ji smiled, her eyes narrowed: "Does not knowing mean you're not satisfied? You mean you want me to take it a step further?"
Jun Chenlan quickly shook his head, his handsome face flushed crimson. He instinctively stood up, his voice slightly hoarse as he said:
"No...no, it's a bit hot...I'm sweating, I'm going to take a shower."
After saying that, Jun Chenlan slunk away like a boy experiencing his first love, almost tripping and falling flat on his face in his disheveled state.
Quan Ji only found it cute and felt that she wanted more.
As expected... a man like Jun Chenlan is still the right fit for her.
Know how to exercise self-control.
Knowing to keep one's promise.
She looked down at the noodles in the bowl, and a feeling of longing stirred within her.
It's so good to have a man... Unlike some people, who not only don't have a friend to cook noodles for them, they don't even have a boyfriend.
It is pure and simple, completely and utterly free.
Not only was he taciturn, but he also declared righteously: I am not interested in love.
Some people may never even get to taste the sweetness of love.
No way... No way... Is there really someone who will never experience the joy of having a boyfriend who takes care of them in their entire life?
That would be terrible.
Quan Ji thought to herself, and then naturally picked up her chopsticks and finished the bowl of noodles.
After finishing the meal, Quan Ji submitted a few more design drawings.
Once everything was settled, Princess Quan went to sleep.
...
The next day, in the main hall, during the court session.
Quan Ji dressed casually as always, in a black casual outfit, her long hair casually tied up in a bun and down in a ponytail, and a pair of black crystal-encrusted flip-flops that shimmered on her fair, jade-like feet.
And so, she became almost too beautiful.
Before her, civil and military officials, as well as her five brothers, all stood respectfully, their eyes fixed loyally on Princess Quan, awaiting her speech and call to action.
She slightly raised her head and looked at one person with narrow eyes.
"Minister of Rites, is Wang Renke there?"
A slightly overweight man walked up and cupped his hands in greeting.
"exist!"
Quan Ji spoke in a somewhat indifferent tone, "Read out the disaster relief situation in various places."
Wang Ren nodded respectfully: "Yes, Miss!"
Wang Ren's voice echoed throughout the entire hall, and everyone could hear it clearly.
The disaster relief efforts went surprisingly well, with everyone doing their best. Among them, Fengyuan City was the most unexpected, as it used various methods to completely drain the floodwaters from the city. Moreover, the people in the city were very cooperative, making it a perfect example of the later remedial efforts.
Overall, the situation is very good.
It seems that both an apology and a scolding can be effective.
In normal circumstances, one would receive a reward, but Princess Quan was clear about rewards and punishments, and she said:
"The situation has been handled very well, which can be considered as making up for the mistake of not taking timely action earlier."
"Then... I will not punish you."
That's a clever way of putting it.
If she says she won't give any rewards, then the local officials will definitely feel that they were supposed to receive rewards but Quan Ji is unwilling to give them to them, and they will feel somewhat uncomfortable.
But if no punishment is imposed, the local officials will probably just feel relieved, thinking they almost got punished—they might even think the young lady is kind-hearted.
Immediately afterwards, Quan Ji's gaze fell on Lu Ziban, the Minister of the Ministry of Works.
Lu Ziban could feel the young lady's gaze, and a sense of nervousness rose in his heart.
Because of this war, their Tiangong Department did not make a significant contribution. Although there were indeed innovations, overall, the main strength still came from the design drawings given by the young lady last time.
While it's not good to rely on a rich girl, it's true that you can't improve your design skills in a short time.
If he could, he'd like the young lady to humiliate him with a huge stack of design drawings!
What a pity... those design drawings are so rare. Even if the young lady is incredibly resourceful, it's impossible for her to come up with new ideas so quickly, right?
Sure enough, Lu Ziban was called out.
"Come on up."
The young lady's voice was indeed beautiful, but it had no effect whatsoever in this war and disaster relief efforts.
He was nervous!
He walked up timidly and bowed to Quan Ji.
"Young...Young Miss."
Quan Ji glanced at him indifferently: "It seems that the Ministry of Crafts hasn't made any achievements recently?"
It's here!
Lu Ziban immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the young lady!
"I'm...I'm sorry, we're incompetent! But...but design is something that can't be forced in a short time!"
Quan Ji narrowed her eyes and finally sighed.
At that moment, Lu Ziban felt like dying.
The young lady must be utterly disappointed in them... They've broken her heart!
At that very moment, something unexpected happened.
Quan Ji spoke calmly, her gaze and voice indifferent:
“I understand the difficulties you face in your design process, but… it’s not reasonable that there has been no progress. From today onwards, your Crafts Department should take a few talented apprentices to study under Master He Yan of the Azure Academy. If this continues, the Crafts Department can be replaced.”
Upon hearing these words, Lu Ziban looked at Quan Ji with surprise and gratitude, and kowtowed again, saying, "Thank you for your trust, Miss!"
The young lady was willing to give them another chance and even let them study under Master He Yan of the Azure Academy—who is one of the top engineers in the Noah Continent!
Just then, Quan Ji said something that completely excited Lu Ziban.
