349 Crossing River (1/2)

After waiting for another three days, in which Jun Hua continued to be held by Soujin in their room, they finally departed. Seeing the complexion on Jun Hua's face when they departed, Ming Hui could guess what had happened during this time.

”Soujin, you better hold yourself a bit. It's unhealthy to do too much,” Ming Hui casually reminded.

Soujin arched his eyebrows. ”I'm sure that the one who says that also does the same thing.”

Ming Hui coughed as he averted his eyes from his best friend. Well, Fan Lanying's condition was not far off from Jun Hua right now because of his action. He couldn't deny that, so he chose to ignore his friends.

On the side, Yan was feeling rather down. Among the three of them, only he still didn't have any bride despite him being the same age with Soujin.

The ministers already told him to get married, but he didn't want to listen to their word. Many of them were yelling at his father previously to not let their daughter marry him. Now that he became the emperor, they instead pushed their daughter forward.

On this several days journey, several important people come along. Many officials were protesting about the court, but Yan just dumped everything on Nanglong Souka's head. He believed that the old man would not do anything unnecessary, though he had complained profusely to him.

In the entire history, he would probably be labeled as the most 'playful' emperor.

The important people were certainly Soujin, Yan, Ming Hui, Jun Hua, and Jun Zhenxian. They decided to go towards Pan City, to be exact the palace in Pan City. Because of Pan Kingdom has fallen, the palace was mostly empty with only several attendants that Yan had selected previously left.

”The carriages are quite eye catching,” Fan Lanying said as she peered outside.

”It's quite normal because of that person status,” Ming Hui said with a grin. Although he was being titled as the prince, his carriage was slightly ordinary because they didn't know that he was previously the princess. The most extravagant one would be Yan's since he was the emperor.

Fan Lanying nodded her head, ”Do you think the people would accept us?”

”You mean the people in Pan City?” Fan Lanying nodded her head. Ming Hui smiled reassuringly, ”Don't worry, they have long accepted Yan because of his speech.”

”I don't remember the emperor has powerful speech.”

”Soujin prepared it for him.”

Fan Lanying giggled at the thought of Yan only reading the prepared manuscript. However, she had to admit that Yan was quite an excellent actor. She shifted her gaze outside when her eyes caught a small river they would pass through.

”I never knew there is a river in this area,” she commented.

”Do you want to stop for a while?” Ming Hui signaled the driver to stop and leaped out from the carriage. He walked towards the other carriages and told the others to have a slight rest in this place first.

”You're telling us to stop just because you want to play with your wife?” Yan stared at his brother with helplessness.

Ming Hui nodded his head, ”It's not like we are in a hurry too. The journey would still take several days even without delay, so a slight fun won't hinder it too much.”

”I understand.”

Yan ordered the guards to stop and made a small camp here. He knew that Ming Hui would surely use this chance as much as possible, so he better prepared a cozy place to wait.

Jun Zhenxian wanted to spend the time with Jun Hua, but the girl was standing with her husband. He didn't want to bother with the princess, so he chose to bother the emperor.

”Do you have some time, Your Majesty?” Jun Zhenxian asked.

Yan looked towards the old general with arched eyebrows, ”What is it, General Jun Zhenxian?”

”I want to ask you to play chess with me.”
