Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

If Xiao Lingxi hadn't mentioned it, Ning Fan would have forgotten about it. When Xiao Lingxi mentioned it, Ning Fan felt like he couldn't sleep again.

"Ergou, go and call Shen Mengxi over to me."

Ning Fan opened the door and walked out. The bright moonlight illuminated the entire palace as if it were daytime.

The shadows of the big trees were cast on the ground by the moonlight, forming mottled shadows. Several guards and eunuchs on duty in the yard were dozing off. They were all startled when they saw Ning Fan pushing open the door and walking out.

"Your Majesty, when is this? Master Shen should be asleep at this time, right?"

In such a large palace, perhaps Ergou was the only one who dared to go against Ning Fan's wishes.

Several young eunuchs around were sweating, fearing that the emperor would pull Ergou out in anger and chop off his head. Unexpectedly, Ning Fan thought for a moment and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"It's true that I'm still too impatient. Let's do it tomorrow. Remember this matter tomorrow. I want to see Shen Mengxi."

After Ning Fan finished speaking, he yawned and prepared to go back to the house to sleep. However, when he turned around and saw Ergou still standing at the door, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

"It's already this time, why don't you go to bed?"

Ning Fan looked at Ergou with concern.

The palace has its own rules and regulations. There are strict rules on when eunuchs should sleep and when they should be on duty.

Ergou didn't sleep at this time, most likely because Ning Fan hadn't fallen asleep yet.

"Your Majesty is not asleep yet, and my servant is not sleepy either."

Ergou smiled at Ning Fan.

Ning Fan waved his hand, turned around and walked into the room again.

In the past few days, Ning Fan had lost a lot of weight while traveling between the south and northwest of the Yangtze River. He looked haggard and his energy was not as good as before. At this time, Ning Fan felt sleepy. Not long after he lay in bed, he fell asleep. Entered dreamland.

Ergou, on the other hand, was still standing in front of the palace gate, whispering to a few young eunuchs.

"Godfather, the emperor treats you differently. In such a big palace, even the ladies may not have the same status as you, godfather."

A young eunuch came close to Ergou and whispered.

This little eunuch was taller than Ergou and about the same age, but he kept claiming to call me Ergou his godfather, and his voice was full of respect.

Ergou couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard the little eunuch calling him godfather, with a happy expression on his face. He reached out and patted the little eunuch on the shoulder, and whispered: "Xiao Anzi, remember, do your best. Your own duty is the most important thing.”

"Well, godfather, I will remember it. I will always keep your words in my heart."

Xiao Anzi is very honest and well-behaved, but ambition is shining in his eyes.

Early the next morning, Ning Fan opened the door and found that the ground was wet. It turned out that it rained in the middle of the night last night, and there was a fragrant smell of earth in the air. Xiao Lingxi also put on her clothes and walked inside. After walking out, the two looked at each other. Xiao Lingxi's face turned out to be slightly shy.

"Your Majesty, have you planned everything you want to do today?"

Xiao Lingxi asked casually, then came over to help Ning Fan fasten the buttons on his collar and straighten the folds of his clothes.

"There's nothing much going on today. There are two main things. The first thing is to determine the candidate for the Miluo mission. The second thing is to meet Shen Mengxi. I haven't seen him for some time."

After Ning Fan thought for a while, he said to Xiao Lingxi.

"Last night I vaguely heard that His Majesty wanted to see Shen Mengxi. I don't know if it was a dream or it was true."

Xiao Lingxi looked at Ning Fan with some suspicion. When he was asleep last night, he did feel that Ning Fan stood up from his side and then went outside to ask the eunuch to summon Shen Mengxi. When he woke up early in the morning, Xiao Lingxi was still mumbling about this matter. Is it real.

"That's true, but I can't see anyone I want to see in the middle of the night."

Ning Fan laughed and did not explain too much.

In the morning, Ning Fan thought for a long time alone in the Qinzheng Hall, and then he preliminarily determined the personnel of the mission to Miluo.

Among all the lists, the most unlikely person appeared on the list, and that was Princess Lolis of Dabo Kingdom.

Strictly speaking, Princess Lolis of the Dabo Kingdom is not a member of Dakang. The reason why Ning Fan added Princess Lolis to the mission list was actually because of Princess Lolis's diplomatic ability. .

This foreign princess thrives in Dakang like a fish in water. Not only does her business flourish, but she also has deep and strong political connections with Dakang officials.

Despite this princess, she is usually arrogant and unruly, but on key diplomatic occasions, she is polite and courteous.

No matter what she says or does, Princess Lolis is able to do everything perfectly and perfectly. This is why Ning Fan truly appreciates this princess.

In addition to Princess Lolis, there is another main person on this list, Ergou. In Ning Fan's opinion, Ergou also has the ability in this area.

Moreover, at this critical period, Ergou also needs to be focused on training. After all, Ergou has the ability and ambition in this area. Ning Fan also has the desire to train Ergou.

"Ergou, what do you think about letting you go to Miluo Country this time? Can you handle this matter well?"

Ning Fan looked at Ergou with burning eyes.

Since he didn't sleep well last night, Ergou didn't hear clearly what Ning Fan said at first. He was taking a nap, and when he vaguely heard Ning Fan mention his name, he almost woke up with a jolt.

But Ergou didn't seem to hear what Ning Fan specifically said, and looked at Ning Fan with some confusion.

"I mean that this time you will be sent as an envoy to the Miluo Kingdom with the mission, and you will be the head of the mission, and we will start negotiations with the Miluo Kingdom on behalf of our Dakang people."

Ning Fan repeated what he just said. This time Ergou heard it clearly, but his eyes gradually widened from being narrowed.

"Your Majesty, can I do this?"

Ergou looked at Ning Fan with some confusion.

"Of course you can. If you say you can, you can do it. If you don't, you can do it."

After Ning Fan said this, he couldn't help but laugh, while Ergou stood aside, a little nervous, even a little anxious.

"Your Majesty, if I must go, then it is my duty to go, but I must be cautious about this matter."

Ning Fan seemed to be just joking, but Ergou took it seriously. He was seriously considering how to negotiate with Miluo Country.

"Actually, there is no need to be so nervous. Many things that you think are incredible are actually just that. You just need to remember one thing, that is, try not to have a war with Miluo Kingdom, and you want me to dig a canal for us. If we explain this matter clearly and let the people of Miluo country accept it, then this negotiation will be said to be successfully completed."
