Chapter 149 Farewell
Chapter 149 Farewell
However, he never expected that Fan Jingrui's rare sentimentality would end up being laughed at by others.
Feng Yan, who just now was like a banished immortal, reading the imperial edict seriously, smiled. "I forgot to tell you that from now on, the chief eunuch will stay."
"Stay? What do you mean? Is there a third imperial edict?" The Fifth Prince stared at Feng Yan and asked tentatively.
"I am not in a position to reveal the details, but from now on, I will be Madam Fan's deputy. Madam Fan can refer any matter that is inconvenient, impossible, or unclear to her to me."
Chu Ci: This is called unspeakable. I'm afraid that 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 giving him such a great god?
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 immediately suppressed it. Anyone who can become an emperor is like honeycomb coal, full of tricks.
Then there is only one possibility left, that is, the value of being utilized that you have demonstrated.
Thinking of this, Chu Ci felt relieved. "Can I see the secret decree you mentioned?"
Feng Yan glanced at Fan Jingrui beside Chu Ci, and the fifth prince not far away. The two of them tactfully moved away a little.
Feng Yan handed the secret decree he carried with him to Chu Ci without hesitation.
Chu Ci read it word by word, and even asked "Xing'er" to scan a copy carefully before returning it to Feng Yan.
"Since you are 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: "Young Madam, rest assured, Feng Yan will definitely live up to your trust."
It is absolutely true that professional matters should be left to professionals. As a result, the pork promotion plan, which had encountered many setbacks before, suddenly became very smooth.
Even Minghui, who had been like a wooden man before, became much more clever.
And this only took one day.
However, no one present was happy, for the simple reason that 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 spoil the fun: "Don't worry, 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 warmer in his heart: "You always say you are harsh, but in fact you are softer than anyone else. When you encounter something, don't always bear it 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 Chuci's evasiveness? But in Fan Jingrui's eyes, Chuci was even more adorable.
"Okay, you must remember to write to your husband. Also, don't put yourself in a difficult position, do whatever you want to do, anyway, 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 lady, 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 up to each other and talked about intimate 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 gently when he heard it: "Well, good night."
Then he fell into a deep sleep.
Fan Jingrui stared 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 these words did not hear them, 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 make her feel alienated from him.
He was afraid that his confession would disrupt the delicate balance between them and make Chu Ci feel resentful towards him.
So, he chose to gently kiss Chu Ci on her forehead when she was sleeping, to convey 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 is undiminished.
Chu Ci seemed to feel this strong love in his dream. He vaguely 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 happier in his heart. "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 dark 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 what he learned into practice and used it 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 released in the courtyard.
There was a note next to the cage, with many precautions written on it. The handwriting was obviously from Fan Jingrui.
Chu Ci looked at the precautions above and smiled unconsciously. But he quickly restrained himself: "It's really hard for people to keep their true feelings with a man like this!"
Just when Chu Ci was struggling, Qianxue and Qianyan came hand in hand.
She saw the note in Chu Ci's hand at a glance, smiled at each other, and said jokingly: "Sister-in-law, big brother hasn't gone far yet! You are staring at big brother's handwriting in a trance."
Chu Ci came back to his senses after hearing this, and naturally refused to be outdone, "Don't guess blindly, I'm just thinking about how to tame them!"
"Sister-in-law, if you tame it, can you give me one?" Qianxue was the first to show her support.
Qianyan is the second one.
But she was not arguing for the falcon, but instead brought the topic back to Fan Jingrui. "How could it be given to you? In my opinion, after my sister-in-law has been trained, she will definitely be the first to write to my eldest brother."
