All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human-Chapter 26: No One Can Take Her Empire ()
"There’s no need for everyone to do much; just remain calm and don’t let yourself be provoked. That way, it won’t put Your Majesty in a difficult position. If there’s anything you can’t handle, you can come to me," Xun Zihuai said slowly. "After all, King Ning Shan is Your Majesty’s husband and the father of the Prince and Princess. As long as he hasn’t made any grave mistakes, whoever moves against him lacks justification. Right now, we just need to wait. Once he can’t hold back any longer and makes a move, we can resolve this once and for all."
"Lord State Preceptor is right. We’ll follow your advice and definitely won’t put Your Majesty in a difficult position."
Throughout history, there have been few founding generals who enjoyed such good days. Your Majesty has never been wary of them; instead, she has placed them in the most fitting positions.
What is this? This is trust.
Your Majesty is a woman, yet she commands more admiration than any man. They willingly submit to her.
Xun Zihuai isn’t at all surprised by their loyalty, as he is the same. He only wishes to live for her, die for her, do everything for her, and exhaust his last bit of value.
"Everyone, I won’t linger any longer. I must hurry back to the Imperial Palace."
"Lord State Preceptor, have a safe journey."
Xun Zihuai hastily returned to the palace, able to patiently listen to those rude fellows talk entirely because they were loyal to the same person.
Hurriedly stepping into the Star-picking Tower where the State Preceptor resided, a Palace Attendant cheerfully approached and said, "Lord State Preceptor, Your Majesty’s rewards have arrived."
"Oh, what is it?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"Eighteen bolts of cloud brocade. I heard Your Majesty only obtained so much, and it’s all been sent to you."
"And there are countless white jade items. Your Majesty left a message, saying you like these clean things, so they’re all for you."
Xun Zihuai’s usually aloof face suddenly beamed with a smile, and his steps lightened, almost breaking into a trot inside: "I’ll go take a look."
The Palace Attendants watched Xun Zihuai’s joyful departing figure, thinking they must have seen wrong.
Clearly, Lord State Preceptor was aloof and unapproachable, yet now his demeanor didn’t quite match his usual style?
Upon entering the room, Xun Zihuai saw the piles of treasures, countless white jade items, and eighteen bolts of cloud brocade that suited his taste. Being someone who loves cleanliness, he only liked wearing pure white garments. The day he received the cloud brocade, he ordered others to make them into clothes.
Days later, wearing the new clothes, Xun Zihuai appeared before Qiann Yan.
Qiann Yan was reading medical books, progressing so swiftly that it surprised Xun Zihuai, and he praised her talent. If she weren’t an emperor, she could have joined the Xun Family.
"Do you have something to say?"
Qiann Yan could hardly ignore Xun Zihuai pacing back and forth around her, finally shifting her gaze from the medical books to him.
Xun Zihuai immediately froze, standing not far from her with a smile: "No, Your Majesty."
"Then why are you pacing back and forth in front of me?"
Xun Zihuai’s face almost drooped. Didn’t she notice he was wearing a new outfit, the latest style of the year, which he urged the Palace Attendants to rush out?
Moreover, it was cloud brocade—eighteen bolts all went to him. Didn’t she notice even a little bit?
"Really nothing?"
Xun Zihuai: "Nothing."
Forget it, he could tolerate the little quirks of Your Majesty. He’d enjoy this outfit by himself.
"State Preceptor, come over here. There are things I don’t understand in this book; explain them to me."
Originally a bit disheartened, Xun Zihuai immediately perked up, quickly running over to Qiann Yan’s side, leaning in: "Your Majesty, where?"
