"Golden Dragon Palace!"
When Jiang Fan stepped into the main hall, he was greeted by a vast space. The high ceiling was covered with gorgeous paintings, including dragons, phoenixes, cranes and auspicious clouds. It was truly magnificent.
The pillars in the hall are beautifully carved and inlaid with gold and silver jewels, emitting bright light.
In the center is a huge throne, made of fine gold. Behind the throne is a huge curtain, embroidered with gorgeous patterns and meticulous embroidery, symbolizing the supreme dignity of imperial power. On both sides of the throne are carved dragon and jade seats, with gems inlaid in them, emitting dazzling light.
The floor in the hall is paved with smooth stone slabs, as delicate as a mirror, reflecting the light in the hall. The floor is covered with gorgeous carpets, with exquisite weavers and gorgeous colors, creating a majestic atmosphere.
The main hall is surrounded by splendid screens and precious antiques, calligraphy, paintings and porcelain behind the screens, highlighting the nobility and cultural heritage of the palace.
At this moment, Her Majesty the Queen of Great Xia, Nangong Ying, was wearing a gorgeous yellow robe, falling like golden dawn on the world.
Her figure is tall and graceful, like a blooming lotus, exuding endless majesty and elegance. Her face is bright and moving, her bright moon-like skin reveals brilliance, and her brows reveal wisdom and determination. The deep eyes contain the flame of wisdom, as if they can see through the prosperity and illusion of the world.
Different from the past, today's Nangong Ying's hair is tied up high in a bun, decorated with jewelry and floral ornaments, shining with dazzling light. Wearing a crown on her head, inlaid with gems and pearls, she looks noble and solemn.
She wears a brocade cape, and the dragon and phoenix patterns on the cape symbolize the splendor and glory of imperial power. The yellow robe is embroidered with exquisite dragon patterns, and every stitch and thread shows the craftsman's ingenuity and ingenuity.
"Jiang Fan, I have met Her Majesty the Queen!" Jiang Fan saluted Nangong Ying on the throne. He couldn't help but secretly sighed at Nangong Ying's beauty: "She is indeed Her Majesty the Queen of Great Xia. Her noble and refined temperament is really impressive. People are amazed!”
"Jiang Fan, you don't have to be too polite!" Nangong Ying waved her hand gently.
Afterwards, Nangong Ying slowly stood up from the throne and asked Jiang Fan softly: "Are you really not considering staying in the palace to serve my king?"
Her voice is pleasant to the ear, like the sound of nature, full of wisdom and power.
Jiang Fan was shocked after hearing this. He had to say that Nangong Ying's temperament was noble and elegant, as if he had a sense of holiness and majesty. For a moment, Jiang Fan actually forgot to answer.
Previously, Nangong Ying prepared to reward Jiang Fan in public at the Genius Conference, but Jiang Fan said that he could not hold the position of leader in the royal family, and could only hold the position of a named guest in the royal family. This surprised Nangong Ying and immediately said that she would discuss the matter later.
Therefore, after the Tianjiao Conference ended, Jiang Fan was summoned to this "Golden Dragon Palace" alone and had a separate meeting with Her Majesty the Queen of Daxia.
Nangong Ying still wanted to retain this young and promising casual cultivator. After all, there had never been a casual cultivator like Jiang Fan since she took office.
"Boy! Can you have some concentration?" Just when Jiang Fan was in a trance, Ji Yue's voice came coldly.
"Hurry and get the divine blood vine for this princess." Ji Yue urged.
Jiang Fan woke up immediately and responded quickly: "I hope Her Majesty the Queen will forgive me! Jiang Fan still has important things to do, and it is indeed difficult for him to be qualified for the position of commander."
Her Majesty the Queen Nangong Ying smiled faintly after hearing this, as if she had expected it.
Then, Nangong Ying slowly left the throne. Her steps were steady and elegant, showing confidence and decisiveness in every step.
When Jiang Fan was at a loss again, Nangong Ying had already come to his side and said softly: "I will tell you clearly that you have offended Ge Tianqi, the great elder of Xuantian Sect, at this Tianjiao Conference. With his Personality, once you leave the palace, you may not be able to save your life."
"But if you stay in the palace, not only will your life be safe, but you will also be able to obtain the royal family's abundant training resources. Such a good opportunity is something that many people dream of. Are you sure you want to give it up?"
Following Her Majesty's actions, the fragrance blew by like a breeze, bringing with it a charming aroma. This aroma is not only a pleasure for the senses, but also a pleasure for the soul, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Jiang Fan was shocked. He quickly took a few steps back and politely declined again: "Your Majesty the Queen, Jiang Fan appreciates your kindness. It's just that Jiang Fan does have something important to do. I hope Her Majesty the Queen will make it easier for you!"
"Do you really want to reject me like this?" Nangong Ying's voice had a delicate and gentle tone.
"Thank you Her Majesty for your support, but Jiang Fan has already made up his mind!" Jiang Fan declined again without hesitation.
"In that case, then do as you wish."
Seeing Jiang Fan's insistence, Nangong Ying could not say more. After all, as the Queen of Daxia, she could not beg him in a low voice.
"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen, for your understanding!" Seeing that Her Majesty the Queen was finally willing to let him go, Jiang Fan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Facing this noble Majesty the Queen, Jiang Fan really couldn't bear it. Jiang Fan didn't want to be despised by his master Ji Yue anymore. That feeling was really uncomfortable.
"Jiang Fan, can you answer a question for me?" Nangong Ying suddenly asked.
"Your Majesty the Queen, please speak." Jiang Fan responded respectfully.
Nangong Ying frowned and sighed softly: "Okay, then I will speak frankly. Considering that your current cultivation level is only in the early stage of Lingquan realm, how did you defeat Mushan who was in the early stage of Lingdan realm?"
Jiang Fan's heart trembled. He didn't expect that Her Majesty the Queen already knew about Mushan's strength.
Although he was a little surprised, Jiang Fan still replied calmly: "Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen, in the previous competition, I used a secret technique inherited by my master, and the spiritual formation at that time had consumed some of Mushan's strength, so Only then was Mushan defeated by luck."
"Oh?" Nangong Ying frowned and did not ask any more questions, seeming to acquiesce in the explanation given by Jiang Fan.
However, only Jiang Fan knew best, and Nangong Ying would never believe what he said. But why Nangong Ying didn't continue to ask, Jiang Fan felt a little confused and couldn't understand the reason for a while.
In fact, this is thanks to Nangong Yu. Previously, Nangong Yu had praised Jiang Fan's abilities in front of his sister, especially his status as a revered master. He had spoken so highly that he created the image of him as a sixth-grade alchemy master.
Coupled with the relationship between Jiang Fan and Su Xiao, the master of Zhenbao Pavilion, Nangong Ying will not continue to inquire about these details at the moment. Moreover, Jiang Fan has already formed a deadly feud with the Xuantian Sect. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is the best friend.
Then, Nangong Ying said with a smile: "Jiang Fan, I can reward you with the reward for being number one on the list of geniuses. However, you still need to agree to my small request."
Originally, Jiang Fan only hoped to obtain the divine blood vine. Although he also liked the Tiangang Sword Qi Jue, he knew the current situation and should not be greedy.
But who would have thought that Her Majesty the Queen would be so generous! Even in the face of his unreasonable request, she was still willing to give him all these rewards.
"Her Majesty the Queen, please make it clear that as long as Jiang Fan can do it, I will do my best!" Jiang Fan asked excitedly after hearing this.
"As a nominal guest of the royal family, although you are not required to stay in the imperial city like other guests, if the royal family encounters danger in the future, you must come to the rescue quickly!" Nangong Ying said calmly.
"Please rest assured, Her Majesty the Queen, Jiang Fan is not the kind of person who is ungrateful. If one day the royal family is really in danger, even if Her Majesty the Queen does not express it, I will come to help immediately!"
Regarding Nangong Ying's request, Jiang Fan immediately agreed verbally without thinking too much. If Jiang Fan didn't agree to such a small request, he would look down on himself.
"Okay! With your words, I will feel relieved." Nangong Ying smiled lightly.
When Jiang Fan saw this, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at the woman in front of him again. Her nobility and dignity make people dare not look directly at her.
For some reason, Nangong Ying suddenly felt that this young man was a little cute. On weekdays, I don’t know how many people want to take a peek at her appearance, but now, this young man who can get along with her so closely does not dare to look directly at her.
However, this idea only flashed through Nangong Ying's mind. Then, Nangong Ying took out a storage bag and handed it to Jiang Fan: "The rewards are all in this storage bag, take it."
"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen!" Jiang Fan said excitedly, then respectfully bent down and took the storage bag from Nangong Ying's hand.
"Haha." Nangong Ying chuckled, and then said softly: "Brother, come out."
As soon as Nangong Ying finished speaking, Nangong Yu walked out from behind the throne with a smile. It seems that Nangong Yu has been waiting for a long time, and he may have heard the conversation between Jiang Fan and Nangong Ying.
"Haha! Brother Jiang Fan, I didn't expect that even my sister's stunning appearance could not keep you. Your Taoist heart is really firm!" Nangong Yu walked quickly towards Jiang Fan.
When Jiang Fan heard this, his old face turned red. He turned his head subconsciously, showing embarrassment, and said hesitantly: "Brother Yu, you are joking."
"Nangong Yu! Don't be rude!" Nangong Ying said coldly.
However, Nangong Ying's heart palpitated, but she didn't notice the strangeness.
Seeing that his sister was a little angry, Nangong Yu quickly smiled and explained: "Okay, sister, I won't talk anymore. My brother just wants to make a joke with you, there is no need to be so serious, right?"
"This joke is not funny at all. You can continue chatting. I still have things to do." After saying that, Nangong Ying was about to leave.
At this time, Jiang Fan suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty the Queen, Jiang Fan has another unkind request. I wonder if Her Majesty the Queen can agree to it?"
"Oh? Tell me." Nangong Ying frowned, turned around and looked at Jiang Fan, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
"Jiang Fan hopes that Her Majesty the Queen can allow me to stay in the palace for a while, because recently I feel that there are signs of a breakthrough in my cultivation. So, please agree with Her Majesty the Queen!" Jiang Fan pleaded seriously.
In fact, the main reason is that his master Ji Yue's strength has not recovered yet, and going out now will definitely be a dead end. Jiang Fan didn't believe that those people from Xuantian Sect would let him go so easily.
"It doesn't matter, you can stay as long as you want." Nangong Ying said lightly with a trace of disappointment in his eyes.
"Ouch! Brother Jiang Fan, you speak so strangely. Are you still afraid of being kicked out of the palace with me here?" Nangong Yu stepped forward and patted Jiang Fan on the shoulder, with a look of loyalty on his face.
"Thank you so much, Brother Yu." Jiang Fan smiled awkwardly.
Seeing that her brother and Jiang Fan were getting along so well, Nangong Ying smiled slightly: "In that case, please entertain Jiang Fan for your sister." After saying that, Nangong Ying slowly left the hall.
"Don't worry, sister!" Nangong Yu assured loudly.
Looking at Nangong Ying's leaving figure, Jiang Fan seemed to have an indescribable feeling.
"What's wrong? Brother Jiang Fan, you are not attracted to my sister, are you? Do you want to be my brother-in-law?" Nangong Yu saw this and couldn't help but interject.
After Jiang Fan heard this, he broke into a cold sweat and waved his hands quickly: "Brother Yu, don't you dare to make this joke!"
Afterwards, Jiang Fan glanced outside the hall again and was relieved after confirming that Nangong Ying had left.
As Her Majesty the Queen of Great Xia, how could she allow herself to be so blasphemous? Jiang Fan knew very well that he did not have the strength yet.
"Brother Jiang Fan, to be honest, sometimes I wish I could hold the position of monarch. Only in this way can my sister become an ordinary woman and pursue her own happiness and become a wife like other women. Have children.”
"I have always felt that this burden is too heavy for her. She should have a life of her own and do the things she likes, instead of staying in this cold palace every day, reading countless memorials, and dealing with all the The intrigues..."
Speaking of this, the little prince Nangong Yu couldn't help but feel sad.
"Well, Brother Yu, you don't have to be so depressed! If I can meet a seventh-grade alchemist in the future, I will definitely get a body-breaking pill for Brother Yu! By then, Brother Yu will be able to realize his ambition Got it!" Jiang Fan comforted softly.
"Brother Jiang Fan, your words of comfort are so ordinary!" Nangong Yu looked up at Jiang Fan with a wry smile.
"Um..." Jiang Fan scratched his head awkwardly and could only smile bitterly: "I think my comfort was pretty good..."
