What made the tall killing god stunned for three seconds was that the empress was actually wearing Jiang Fan's clothes. The two of them were clearly wearing the same set of outerwear. Moreover, King Xiaoyao was held by His Majesty.
Jiang Fan's eyesight was now very good, and the look in his eyes made him feel like he was being caught as a thief.
In the chariot, the two of them changed their clothes, and the empress summoned Gao Qi.
Gao Qi's expression had long since returned to calm, and he simply agreed to the empress's instructions without asking for the reason.
Jiang Fan kind of likes the style of this family. They have strong execution ability and don't have many problems. They are good employees.
The empress just gave a few simple instructions and left quietly with Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan looked quite excited after putting aside his messy thoughts.
"Madam, is this our honeymoon?"
The empress was wearing a simple white cloth, just like when she was in Qingfeng Gorge.
The two of them bought these while shopping in a small town, a set for each of them, and two bunches of candied haws.
The empress was sitting on the bow of the boat and was halfway through her meal. She was stunned when she heard him speak: "What honeymoon?"
Jiang Fan said excitedly: "In our hometown, after the wedding, the newlyweds have to go out to a place of their choice for a month, commonly known as honeymoon."
"We are not a wedding."
"But it's just as sweet." Mr. Jiang disagreed, grinning happily.
The empress disdained his stupidity and continued to eat candied haws.
The old man rocking the oar looked at the two of them happily: "Let's get married."
Jiang Fan jumped up and raised his thumb at the old man: "Oh, old man, you have a vicious eye."
The old man said: "Who can't see it? As a newlywed, you and I have nothing to do with each other. It was the same when the old man first married his mother-in-law."
The old man said with a nostalgic look.
Jiang Fan said seriously: "Boatman, looking at you, you were also a handsome and handsome young man when you were young."
The old man laughed and said, "How can I be called a handsome young man? But when it comes to fishermen from eight villages in ten miles, the old man ranks high among them all."
Jiang Fan also laughed heartily: "There must have been a lot of young ladies who were curious about you at that time."
The old man said quite proudly: "Needless to say, when it comes to my white-faced fisherman, who doesn't know who doesn't know who? I'm not bragging to you, but the unmarried young ladies from the villages in the ten miles and eight villages are very capable."
Jiang Fan praised: "Awesome, I guess you can get the best one too."
The old man said proudly: "That's natural. She is a famous pretty lady with skillful hands. She lives in another village and often bathes by the river. I am thick-skinned, but whenever I see her, I sing fishing songs to her all the way. Every time She blushed and ran away. Later, after all, she married me. In a blink of an eye, forty years passed, and she was buried up to her neck in the soil..."
Jiang Fan said: "Hey! You can't say that. The old man is still as handsome now as he was then, and I believe that my wife's appearance will not age either."
The old man sighed: "She is long gone."
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, and the Empress also paused slightly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I took offense."
The old man laughed and said: "Nothing to offend, everyone is born, old, sick and die. My aunt has been with the old man for more than thirty years. I fished and she weaved nets. We have gone through all the ups and downs. When we get old, we have reached the age of 10." , it’s time to leave. In a few years, when my grandson grows up, I should also go and accompany her."
"Aren't you... sad?"
The old man said leisurely: "In the first few years after I left, I was very sad and regretful. Why didn't I spend more time with her and treat her better... Later, I slowly opened my eyes. Everyone has this day. When she left, she said that she would be content with me in this life, but in the next life, if I remember to look for her, she will still be the one with the little yellow flower on her head..."
Jiang Fan nodded: "The old man is open-minded."
The old man looked at the two of them with a smile: "Young man, cherish the good times. This person doesn't feel like anything when we are together. Once it's gone, it's really nothing."
The old man said and sang a fishing song, "Brother is hard-working and strong...Eighteen sisters are like a flower...I would like to ask that sister...I would like to join my fishing home..."
On the empty Canglan River, fishermen sang leisurely. Jiang Fan looked at the rippling river water and the rolling clouds, and murmured to himself.
"The country never grows old, the world changes, this life is so short..."
There was only one candied haws left in the empress's hand, and she didn't eat it for some reason.
Jiang Fan smiled and handed her half of the string in his hand: "I'll accompany you to see these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers."
The empress took it and suddenly said: "You can also sing, sing one."
So, just after the fishing song ended, the young man's voice came from the river again: "...Life is only a few autumns. Don't give up until you are drunk. Don't worry about being sad and troubled..."
——
Jiang Qi was confused. When she saw the young man and woman standing in front of her, she was completely stunned.
Isn't this Miss Bai?
No, it’s the Empress of Qin.
Now, she already knew who she was chasing. When she first learned the news, she almost collapsed on the spot.
Fortunately, I finally figured it out and took refuge in King Xiaoyao, and the two of them...the legend is that...
The heart that was hanging in my throat finally relaxed a little.
But no matter what, I never expected to see the empress again, and on Jiangxin Island.
It was so sudden, without any notice or preparation, the empress came suddenly.
Jiang Qi fell to the ground at a loss and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Seeing her lying on the ground, her whole body trembling, Jiang Fan couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay, I don't blame those who don't know. It's been a while, so get up quickly."
"Folk women dare not..."
Jiang Fan stepped forward and pulled her up and said: "Your Majesty has stopped blaming you a long time ago. After all, you are working for His Majesty now. You are considered His Majesty's minister, not to mention your sister."
The empress glanced at Jiang Fan: "Your sister?"
Jiang Fan said: "Yes, my adopted sister."
The empress' eyes moved, thoughtfully. But he said: "Forgive you for your innocence, please be free. Your Majesty is not here today. The one who is here is Bai Xiaocui."
Jiang Qi was stunned, not understanding the meaning of these words, but then she figured out, could it be that His Majesty wanted to pay a private visit incognito?
Jiang Fan knew at a glance that she was thinking the wrong way, but he didn't bother to explain: "Xiao Cui and I are traveling and want to go to the Bottomless Pool to have a look. We don't need to cause trouble. We don't want others to know. You can just call us Miss Bai."
Jiang Qi was shocked at first. Her brother still called that person Xiaocui so casually, but she didn't feel unhappy at all.
But Jiang Qi understood that just because her brother could do it, it didn't mean that others could be arrogant. She had just heard that a few days ago, the Empress and the Sword Immortal Lu Yai had a duel at the Peak of Taihua and almost beheaded a current Sword Immortal. He also forced Taihua to agree to three conditions.
How can a mortal be allowed to offend such a god-like figure?
However, she was also a sober person, and based on the situation, she understood that the two of them were going on a private trip and it was not appropriate to make it public, so she tried to calm down.
Jiang Fan nodded: "This is the right thing to do. Just do what you usually do. Don't panic, it will cause inconvenience."
"It's...your lord...brother, Miss Bai - Miss Bai, do you want to go down to the Bottomless Pool?"
Jiang Fan nodded: "Some things were not done last time, so I want to go down again."
