nMing City

nYan stared at the report with depression. He was happy that Xiao Meng still treated him rather well during her time here, but finding out that she wouldn't come here for a long time again made him feel rather depressed.

nMing Hui looked at the emperor with a sigh.

"If you don't want to finish your work, you're not allowed to get out of this room.

"

nUpon hearing the threat, Yan hurriedly buried himself into work. Ming Hui would surely hold onto his promise, and Ming Yan didn't want to get locked up in this place just because his work hadn't finished yet.

nAfter Jun Hua and Nanglong Soujin returned to the Long Kingdom using that unconventional way, they returned back to the Ming City. As for him, he had come here after the matter of the rebels has finished. Although he knew he will have to stay in that kingdom later, he still has some matter he needed to finish here. Besides, Fan Lanying wasn't there yet.

n

"You're still here, Ming Hui?

" Jun Hua walked in with Nanglong Soujin. It has been a few months since the two of them returned to this city and lived quietly.

nMing Hui nodded his head,

"I have to supervise this lazy brother of mine to make sure he didn't skimp his work.

"

n

"I don't need you to watch over me!

" Yan protested.

n

"If I didn't you would never finish the work,

" Ming Hui stared at him coldly,

"Stop making Shu watch over you relentlessly.

"

nYan grumbled under his breath as he continued to tackle the paper in front of him. It was not like he didn't do any work, but his heart was not willing right now.

n

"Yan is like an eternal bachelor,

" Jun Hua commented.

n

"Watch what you said! I'm the emperor!

"

n

"He just had bad luck in choosing woman,

" Ming Hui shrugged. The first time he tried to get close to a woman, the 'girl' turned out to be his brother. The second time he wanted to get close with a girl, that person belonged to his best friend. Now that he had become the emperor, the girl he took fancy in wouldn't be able to come here for a few more months.

nJun Hua had to agree with Ming Hui. From all the men she knew, Yan was probably someone she knew to have such luck with women. Not to mention the fact that he was previously known as the pervert, but never got close with a girl. What an amazing fact.

n

"He will get over it soon,

" Nanglong Soujin remarked,

"Someone like him won't stay depressed for a long time.

"

nYan got the urge to throw them all out, 'Someone like me…' What kind of person do you see me as?

n

"Now, what about trying to search for another woman while waiting for that one? As the Emperor, I'm pretty sure that they allow you to have a lot of women.

"

n

"They're not attractive enough.

"

n

"Really?

" Ming Hui pulled a paper from the stack of documents in front of him.

"This is the daughter of Minister Zhang. I heard that she's quite a beauty that manages to shake the academy not long ago. Her father wants to promote her to be your wife.

"

n

"I don't like a beauty that can overturn the kingdom.

"

nJun Hua tilted her head.

"I thought that you like beauty, Emperor Yan.

"

nMing Yan truly wanted to cry. It was not like he didn't like beauty, but he didn't have any interest in random beauty. Right now, he wished for nothing but throwing all of them out of his workroom. Of course, that was only if he had the strength to do so.

n

"… Don't bother me with my work anymore.

"

nThe three of them finally decided not to bother with Yan anymore. After all, the other party still has mountains of work he had to finish and he might not finish dealing with them should they bother him again.

nNanglong Soujin turned his head towards the paper in front of Ming Hui,

"Has the deal about the trade finished?

"

n

"It has,

" Ming Hui nodded his head,

"There's no need to worry about it so much. I will return to the Yuan Kingdom again every time they come.

"

n

"You will have to stay there for a long time.

"

n

"I will only permanently stay there after Fan Lanying has finished the conquest,

" Ming Hui refused to stay there alone. At the very least, he wanted to have his wife staying with him.

n

"By the way, what are the two of you doing here?

"

nJun Hua placed a paper in front of Ming Hui,

"I come to inform you that I will be taking a few days off from my duty.

"

nAlthough Jun Hua is a woman, she still has a position in this kingdom. After the matter of the trade finished, her position as Long Kingdom strategist become official and no one dared to raise any objection regarding this matter. If even the emperor didn't mind having a woman in that position, why should they meddle?

nIn any case, they have seen for themselves how this princess managed to become a great strategist, especially in terms of war. If not because of her, they knew that many of the battles might not end so quickly. In addition, who didn't know the military power that she held behind the shadow?

nMing Hui stared at the paper with a helpless expression,

"What is the reason you have a few days off?

"

n

"I have already finished the work, and I want to have some rest,

" Jun Hua smiled,

"As a woman, I need to have a lot of rest.

"

nThe shamelessness of Jun Zhenxian seemed to have been passed unto Jun Hua as she just told a blatant lie. If she needed a lot of rest just because she was a woman, there would be no one who said that she was the hell trainer. Not to mention the fact that she herself could finish the entire training without much effort.

nMing Hui secretly eyed Nanglong Soujin since this man was also partially rather shameless. He shook his head and kept the letter.

n

"You can have the days off as you want. Just remember to return back as there are still a lot of works to be done.

"

nThere were only some small battles here and there from people who discontent with the rulers and the rest of the cities yet to be claimed. Some of them decided to follow after the new emperor, but the rests were rather stubborn.

nJun Hua nodded,

"Sure, thank you Ming Hui.

"

n

"Do you also want to have days off?

" Ming Hui looked towards Nanglong Soujin.

n

"I only accompany my wife to come here. Besides, I didn't have to come to court every day,

" Nanglong Soujin answered.

nSoujin was not an official, and he wouldn't be one in the future. His task were mainly made sure his soldier did their training and work. Although he still held the rank of a general, he no longer marched around in the battlefield and spent most of his time to accompany his wife in the house.

nAfter they delivered the letter, Ming Hui watched as the two of them walked out from the room holding each other hand. In the past, he didn't believe if someone told him that Nanglong Soujin would love a woman to this extent. But now, he had seen for himself how this man changed so much and would never look towards women other than his wife.

nMing Hui sighed. He felt rather jealous now since he can't meet with his wife, but his friend already spent most of his time with his beloved one. Thankfully, the conquest was rather smooth, and he might be able to meet with his wife in around a year.
