I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 450 Three-person tour

Xiang Ning was convinced by Fan Li, but he couldn't hide his curiosity.

A real war has not yet broken out between Chu and Ming, but the war of public opinion has already begun?

As the emperor of Chu, she knew very little about these situations?

For a time, Xiang Ning became very interested in those newspapers and bookstores!
However, although "Times Monthly", "Mortal Post" and "Rulin Book Company" are Fan Li's properties, they were first created in the Ming Dynasty and are considered foreign products.

She wanted to know more about him, but she was trapped in many obstacles in border transactions and was unable to achieve her wish.

"Your Majesty." Fan Li said with a smile: "Actually, Chen's newspaper and bookstore are both chain operation models. The Scholars Bookstore was approved by the Ming Dynasty court a month ago, allowing it to open branches in other countries."

Xiang Ning's eyes lit up when he heard this!
"what do you mean……"

"The first branch of "The Scholars Bookstore" in the Great Chu State opened for business yesterday. The location is in Pengcheng. If Your Majesty is interested, why not wear a white dragon fish suit and let me take Your Majesty to go shopping?"

Fan Li sincerely wanted to help Xiang Ning broaden his horizons.

But half an hour later, he will regret his words and deeds.

"Okay!" Xiang Ning said happily: "Just wait, I will change my clothes immediately, and I will bring Han Yue with me."

Fan Li smiled and said, "That's natural."

Leave the palace.

For Xiang Ning, this is a rare thing.

Especially without the emperor's ceremonial guard or wearing the emperor's clothes, she found it even more novel.

After a while, Xiang Ning, dressed as a girl who has not yet left the palace, wearing a pink dress and a pink skirt, appeared on the stage!
"Fan Li, do you think I'm beautiful?"

Xiang Ning's face was full of excitement.

She lifted up the hem of her skirt and spun around twice. Even Fan Li was infected by her youthful and lively aura.

"Beautiful, cough, Your Majesty is extremely beautiful."

Fan Li said, but his eyes were a little dishonest.

Sometimes he looked at Xiang Ning, and sometimes his eyes moved uncontrollably to Han Yue, who was next to Xiang Ning and dressed in white like frost and snow.

"You are so beautiful."

Fan Li didn't even know whether he was praising Xiang Ning or Han Yue when he said this.

The two women blushed at the same time, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised, a hint of sweetness.

"Fan Li!"

"This is a private visit incognito. We must keep a low profile. Do you remember?"

Xiang Ning delivered a leadership speech in a serious manner, but Fan Li was dumbfounded.

Low key?

How to keep a low profile?

The appearance and temperament of the three of them alone are outstanding among all living beings.

What's more, Xiang Ning and Han Yue just paid it back.

One of them is the empress who has been imprisoned in the Pure Land for many years, and the other is the Holy Lord who has been in seclusion for many years and practices hard. The common people do not recognize their appearance.

But Fan Li's situation was completely different.

As the actual person in power of the Chu Kingdom, Fan Li has made many public appearances.

In particular, he is also the director of Luming Academy, and his portrait is hung in the academy all year round.

Confucian scholars from Chu state did not say that everyone could recognize Fan Li at a glance, but after a few more glances, they could guess his true identity.

"Let's go!"

Xiang Ning took the lead and slipped out of Dachu Palace in a hurry.

Fan Li and Han Yue, who were left behind, looked like parents, walking out with gentle steps and no hurry.

"you……"

Fan Li looked at the woman walking side by side, her hair as white as snow, which always gave him an uneasy feeling.

But Han Yue's complexion seemed to be very good, and Fan Li didn't know whether he should express concern for a moment.

"what happened?"

Hanyue smiled.

She is like an unsheathed sword. The beautiful appearance is like the jade and precious stones inlaid on the scabbard. The gorgeous appearance makes people forget that her sharpness can cut gold and break jade.

"It's nothing." Fan Li looked away, his eyes revealing his inner worries.

"Parade, the last time you and I were like this was ten years ago." Han Yue said softly: "How great would it be if we could also have fun in the next ten years?"

"Of course!" Fan Li blurted out.

strangeness.

Why did Han Yue reveal a hint of frustration when she spoke?
What is she worried about?
Are you afraid that Emperor Jiajing will be too powerful and Chu and the Fan family will be destroyed by Jiajing sooner or later?
Or maybe she lacks confidence in her feelings?
Fan Li actually knew that Han Yue had forcibly carved a mark on his heart. This kind of forced love was the so-called forced love.

Even ordinary people know that a melon that is forced is not sweet.

As time goes by, the marks in Fan Li's heart are fading away.

But does Hanyue know that the traces left by force are gone, but love has been growing for a long time, and real feelings have already begun to grow.

"Hanyue, you don't have to..."

Fan Li was about to say something when he felt a gentle touch on his hand.

It was Han Yue who held his hand.

The people of Chu are open-minded, and it does not violate etiquette, justice and shame for couples and partners to show affection in public.

After all, the love story between the founding king of Chu, the tyrannical overlord, and the beauty Yu Ji has been passed down for thousands of years.

"Is it okay to hold hands?" Han Yue's voice was slightly weaker, and it was obvious that she also felt guilty.

"Of course!" Fan Li said without hesitation.

What is holding hands?
Even holding her in his arms was something Fan Li couldn't get.

The two of them just held hands and walked out of the Dachu Palace unknowingly.

As for how many palace maids, eunuchs, and guards were there along the way, they didn't dare to have any distracting thoughts when they saw King Jin and Holy Lord Hanyue being so close, and pretended that they didn't see anything.

However, it was not just the palace maids, eunuchs and guards who pretended to be deaf and dumb.

And Xiang Ning.

She was so excited that she only subconsciously looked back and found that the two people behind were holding hands. The charming atmosphere was almost as sweet as honey and oil, and there was no room for her at all.

"Humph."

Xiang Ning's nose was slightly sour, but she could bear it.

She knew that during these years in the New Pure Land, she was the only one who missed Fan Li day and night.
Han Yue, who looks calm on the outside, just buries all her emotions deep in her heart.

"Sister Hanyue has really paid too much for this bad guy."

"I won't argue with Fan Li today, as long as he can make Sister Hanyue happy."

"Humph!"

"I'm so sensible, does Fan Li know?"

Xiang Ning sniffed, adjusted his mood, and put a sunny smile on his face again.

……

…………

Pengcheng, branch of "Rulin Bookstore".

There are many customers in the store, most of them are Confucian scholars, and there are also servants and servants from aristocratic families, who come to the store with book lists to buy books.

As soon as Xiang Ning entered the bookstore, she was stunned by the furnishings in the room.

It is said to be a bookstore, but its size is comparable to that of a palace.

An extremely spacious indoor space with tens of thousands of books stacked on hundreds of bookshelves!
At a glance, Xiang Ning felt that the collection of books in this branch of "The Scholars Bookstore" was more than he could finish reading in his lifetime.

Is this the scale of Fan Li's business?

Or is it just a branch of a bookstore chain?

"Fan...cough, brother Li, is it necessary for the bookstore to be so big?" Xiang Ning asked stuttering.

Since it was a private visit incognito, the three of them naturally had to change their names.

Fan Li is Li's elder brother, Han Yue is Yue's elder sister, and Xiang Ning is naturally Ning's younger sister.

"There is no limit to learning." Fan Li said with a smile.
