Chapter 1385: Internal discord in 1384

Jimi continued showing Tan Rou and the others around the palace, which was exceptionally large and truly exhausting to tour.

Initially they had been told to rest well, yet now they were dragged under the sun, getting scorched. Tan Rou really felt like cursing someone out.

With this time, she would rather return to the hotel to sleep, perhaps to experience the local culture and customs of Country J—who would want to stay here getting scorched by the sun?

Tan Rou wiped the sweat off her face and said, “Mr. Jimi, it’s a bit hot outside, can we find a cooler place to tour?”

Jimi was quite dissatisfied that Tan Rou interrupted his explanation, and he said with a cold face, “Miss Rou, how can your young body not keep up with my old one?”

Tan Rou simply didn’t want to be scorched by the sun, “Yes, my employees are intellectuals; their physical condition isn’t very good. Please be understanding.”

Her intention was to communicate that everyone was tired and did not want to tour any longer, but her words took on a different meaning in Jimi’s ears.

Jimi thought that Tan Rou was mocking him for having brawn but no brain, he immediately retorted, “Miss Rou, mental and physical strength are equally important. Focusing only on mental strength and neglecting physical health can lead to an early death.”

If the man wasn’t a high official from Country J, Tan Rou really wanted to paralyze him with a needle, rendering him unable to speak or move, with only his eyeballs able to roll.

“You needn’t concern yourself with that. Our company conducts physical exams every month, and there are no employees who are physically unfit,” said Tan Rou.

Jimi and Tan Rou glared at each other, their eyes seemingly shooting lasers.

“I’ve had refreshing herbal tea prepared. If Miss Rou doesn’t mind, perhaps you could join me for a cup,” said Princess Samiyi, who had been following behind and saw the conflict arising between Tan Rou and Jimi, quickly stepped in to ease the tension.

Jimi said, “Your Highness, we have important matters to discuss. Please set your tea party aside. After we have finished our business, then you can invite Miss Rou to your tea party.”

Tan Rou thought Princess Samiyi might compromise as Laka did, but Samiyi was much sterner than Laka. She dared to confront Jimi, “His Majesty the King sent the three of us to host this meeting. How can you decide everything alone? Now I suggest letting our honored guest have a cup of herbal tea to rest a bit, what do the other two of you suggest?”

The other two were Jimi and Laka. Laka had long been dissatisfied with Jimi’s decisions, and he wasn’t fond of being in the sun either, touring the palace in such thick clothing was simply ludicrous.

Upon hearing Samiyi’s suggestion, Laka was the first to cast an affirmative vote, added to Samiyi’s own approval, thus deciding the matter of drinking herbal tea.

Jimi had no choice but to relent, changing his tone, “I’ve heard that the herbal tea brewed by Her Highness is the best, I’ve never had the privilege to try it, and today finally I have the chance.”

Samiyi seemed to be at odds with Jimi, and after hearing his words, Samiyi responded, “That’s because you are indeed too busy, always busy talking beside His Majesty the King, really having no time to sit down and join us for tea.”

Jimi was not to be outdone, he began to undermine Samiyi, “I indeed cannot afford to relax like a princess because I have many responsibilities. If I don’t attend to them, His Majesty the King would be greatly troubled.”

The two went back and forth, seemingly forgetting there were foreigners nearby.

Tan Rou and her group formed a circle, quietly discussing these royal family members and the king who hadn’t yet appeared.

Shang Jin said, “Why do I feel like there is some discord among the members of Country J’s royal family? The king sent his son and sister to host us, but also sent his most trusted minister to oppose the prince and princess. It’s too strange.”

Tan Rou said, “Although Laka is the next in line to inherit, his words seem less effective than those of a princess.”

Lang Yue said with a headache, “I feel this cooperation will not go smoothly.”

Tan Rou was also worried about this issue, and she said, “If we can’t cooperate, let’s leave quickly instead of wasting our time here.”
