Vol 2 Chapter 209 (1/2)
Chapter 209: Chatting with the E to feel uncomfortable, Fan Xian took half a step back without anyone noticing He lowered his face and scanned the hall out of the corners of his eyes
There were no one extraordinary people aot Fan Xian’s attention was the gently swaying bead curtain besides the Dragon Throne Light was reflected off the pools of the water and danced beautifully onto the beads
Fan Xian knew that the eer – the one who truly held real power in Northern Qi – was behind that curtain
A while later, the e his boredo and difficult journey Please go get so emperor dismissed the envoy with a wave of his hand Fan Xian knelt with a face full of son ThroneHe was planning to leave, find the officials of Northern Qi ere really in charge of things, and get poor Mister Yan out
But things always develop unexpectedly
”Mister… Fan?” The corner of the emperor’s mouth curled up as if in a smile He looked at Fan Xian and beckoned quietly, ”Stay here Let us have a chat”
The officials were all slightly surprised to hear His Majesty refer to Fan Xian as ”Mister” rather than the official title It was rather inappropriate Fan Xian wasn’t thinking about that, however He was quite shocked Could this young e?
Fan Xian hurried to salute the emperor ”As this is ive me if I offend Your Majesty”
”Don't worry about it” The young emperor seemed to be easy to talk to He chuckled, ”Your presence here pleases me Mister Fan, I am excited to learn froy, and even the Is your praise Now that the diplomatic matters have concluded for today, Iforward to your arrival for a long time And I can show you around the palace”
Since things had progressed to this point, there really wasn’t anything Fan Xian could say as a foreign diplohtly shaken The I Mohan After thepalace, how could there be praise to give?
The envoy left the great hall, Lin Jing gave Fan Xian a worried look Fan Xian returned a slight nod, signaling that he would be careful
After the officials of Northern Qi also left, the great hall appeared to be even vaster The sound of fish tail splashi+ng the surface of the water could faintly be heard, while the soft footsteps of palace girls ca e, he looked at Fan Xian with a chuckle and hopped down fro a towel from a eunuch, he randomly wiped his face Finally, he patted Fan Xian’s shoulder, ”Let’s go, I want to show the immortal poet of the south our divine palace of the north”
Fan Xian gru His Majesty to be so childish As he was about to follow the eh came from behind the bead curtain
The ehtly unnerved With a bitter expression, he turned around and saluted toward the bead curtain, ”Mother, I was very excited to see Fan Xian Please forgive irl had already parted the bead curtain As the beads bumped into each other, they made a delicate sound, and a royal lady walked out from behind the not to take a close look But he still stared at the woolden shoes embroidered with silk flowers They looked casual, but were incredibly luxurious
What shocked Fan Xian eventhose embroidered shoe
s from behind the bead curtain—in this world, ould dare to sit with the eer of Northern Qi behind a bead curtain and listen in on a diplomatic mission?!
That other pair of feet wore a pair of simple cloth shoes, the botto a es of the shoes were black and white, and near their wearer's delicate ankles exposed a cheerfully patterned cloth This type of cloth shoes could often be seen around the countryside during New Year But it was very strange for them to uessed who those cloth shoes belonged to No longer caring for formalities, he raised his head With cal, who still wore that patterned cloth around her head
Fan Xian never i who caer!
Fan Xian and Haitang’s gazes clashed, and the atmosphere in the palace became uneasy But in a flash, Fan Xian looked away and knelt to the e ”My Lady, I am Envoy Fan Xian It is an honor to be in your presence”
The ehtly ”How can this Qing official Fan Xian be this handso No wonder Duoduo had to coirl…” She brushed her thoughts away and gave a slight nod She then said to the e has returned Since you want to take Sir Fan for a walk in the palace, take her along too”
