Chapter 152 Queen Mother's Reward
Nan Xi nodded with an expression of admiration: "My husband is domineering."
Silver Moon burst out laughing.
There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the Prince Regent's Palace. What Rong Yu wants to know is really easy to know. Moreover, Gu Qingshu can avoid the many guards in the Palace and sneak in. There must be someone with a high enough status to help, otherwise he will be regarded as having evil intentions. After arresting the people, where is the chance to reach Zhaochen Palace?
As for who the person who helped him was, he didn't need to count on five fingers, two fingers would be enough.
Nan Xi got up and washed up.
"Won't you sleep a little longer, Princess?"
Nan Xi shook her head: "It's a joke to stay in bed the day after the wedding."
"Whoever dares to laugh at the princess will be the first to be spared by my subordinates."
Nan Xi paused slightly and turned to look at Yin Yue, puzzled: "Yin Yue, why are you so nice to me?"
Well?
Yinyue said: "The princess is the master of my subordinates. Of course, the subordinates must protect the princess well."
Nan Xi shook her head, "It's different."
"The princess treats us differently." Yinyue obviously understood what Nan Xi meant by being different. "The queens and concubines in the palace, as well as the sons and daughters of the dignitaries in the imperial capital, are mostly used to being aloof. No, They treat the servants as human beings and kill them with sticks at every turn. Human life is as worthless as an ant in their eyes... The princess is different from them. "
Nan Xi was silent for a moment and raised her eyebrows casually: "But when you first met me, you didn't know what kind of person I was, and I did this in the palace before. You should have heard about it, and you shouldn't hate it. Me?"
"How could it be possible?" Yinyue said, "For a noble man like my prince, the girl he falls in love with must have something extraordinary. How can it be that ordinary girls can't compare to her?"
Nan Xi laughed and sat down in front of the dressing table.
Yinyue combed her hair, and her long hair was like a waterfall, draped over her shoulders.
Yin Yue praised: "The princess's hair is as smooth as satin."
Nan Xi looked at the girl's bright face in the mirror and smiled lightly: "Rong Yu——"
"Princess Qi." The housekeeper stood outside and reported, interrupting Nan Xi. "There is someone in the palace. It is Eunuch Pan who is beside the Queen Mother."
Yinyue's expression turned cold: "Are these people going to finish the whole day?"
Nan Xi didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "Let him wait first."
The butler nodded: "Yes."
Yinyue said in an unhappy tone: "The Queen Mother is already so old. She enjoys endless glory and wealth, and there are so many people around her to serve her. Can't you live a good life in the palace? She has been doing some disgusting things all day long. Last night she had already You have completely pissed off the prince, why don’t you stop today?”
The emperor had just been on the throne for a year, and the throne was not yet secure. How could the Queen Mother have the confidence to go against the Regent at every turn?
"Some people may feel that they have become the supreme king in the world. From then on, they are the only ones who can't tolerate any offense or provocation. Even the slightest dissatisfaction will make them feel that their authority has been challenged. Not to mention that the existence of the regent is a threat to them." Nan. Xi said unhurriedly, "Your prince holds military power in his hands, which makes it difficult for the emperor to sleep and eat well. My mother holds a huge wealth of gold and silver in her hands. Now that Rong Yu marries me, it is equivalent to marrying me." After gaining a golden mountain and entering the palace, and with rich military pay, the Queen Mother and the Emperor naturally couldn't sit still, and they would never dream of ruining the marriage between Rong Yu and me. "
But they ignored Rong Yu's determination to marry her and the regent's reaction after being angered. They didn't even think about whether the consequences were something they could bear.
"According to my subordinates, the prince has no hostility towards the queen mother and the emperor, nor does he have any thoughts about the throne. Otherwise, it would not have been the emperor's turn to ascend the throne." Yinyue said, "The emperor cannot see through this and only thinks about the prince. Holding military power threatens him and is short-sighted and narrow-minded."
Nan Xi smiled faintly: "If Rong Chuyun is a smart man, what he should do is treat Rong Yu sincerely. Rong Yu may seem ruthless, but as long as he doesn't do anything that touches his bottom line, he will not take the initiative to harm anyone. But the emperor didn't understand that from the moment he regarded Rong Yu as his imaginary enemy, he was doomed to lose everything."
In his previous life, Rong Yu indeed caused the entire regent's palace to be destroyed due to Rong Chuyun's calculations, but Nan Xi played a key role in the cause and effect. Moreover, even if Rong Chuyun won a great victory, he was selfish and narrow-minded. With a jealous temper, he would not trust anyone with military power in his hands.
His journey as king is still full of suspicion and uneasiness.
Unless he holds the military power in his own hands, but if that is the case, it doesn't matter when the world is in peace, but in times of war, is it possible that he has to lead the army himself?
Therefore, mind and structure are the foundation of a person, and the same is true for the emperor who stands at the top of power.
The lessons he learned in his previous life are unforgettable. No matter how Rong Yu treats those who seek death in this life, Nan Xi will not show the slightest mercy.
All those who have plotted against her and framed Rong Yu will have to pay the price for their stupid and cruel actions.
After freshening up and changing clothes, Nan Xi led her out.
Pan Hai was waiting in the spacious front yard.
When Nan Xi left Zhaochen Hall, she did not go directly to the front yard to meet anyone. Instead, she sat in the pavilion outside the hall and said calmly: "Let Eunuch Pan come over."
Yinyue said yes, turned around and sent a maid to deliver the message.
On the pear-wood carved tea table were placed freshly brewed tea and several plates of snacks freshly made in the kitchen. Nan Xi held a cup of tea in her hand and casually leaned on the carved chair, enjoying the clear fragrance in the air.
"Eunuch Pan is here."
Nan Xi glanced at him calmly and said nothing.
Pan Hai walked over from a distance, led by a maid, followed by four eunuchs, each holding a jade plate in his hand.
Entering the pavilion, Pan Hai respectfully saluted Nan Xi: "Meet the Regent Princess."
Nan Xi hummed: "Eunuch Pan, what's the matter?"
Pan Hai relied on the Queen Mother's power to be majestic and awe-inspiring. Even those powerful ministers had to be polite to him. He did not change this idea when he came to the Regent's Mansion several times before. But after hitting a wall one after another, and seeing with his own eyes that the Regent did not even give the Queen Mother face, how dare he put on airs?
So at this time, even if he was displeased with Nan Xi's arrogance in his heart, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face.
"The Queen Mother ordered people to select gifts for the Princess early in the morning, intending to give them to the Princess when she went to pay respects." Pan Hai lowered his head, "But the Princess did not show up after waiting for a long time, so the Queen Mother sent servants to deliver these gifts to the Princess."
Nan Xi said.
Pan Hai ordered people to present the things: "The Queen Mother gave the Regent Princess a pair of gold bracelets with lotus leaf and Ruyi patterns, a pair of coral filigree hairpins, a pair of purple ivory and black ice crystal beads, and a longevity locket with abundant abundance every year. Please take a look, Princess."
