Chapter 163: Marriage Is Not a Joke
"Then there must be a shortcoming that can be exposed." Rong Yu said in a stern tone, "Nan Xiangruo can walk and sit upright, so why should he be afraid of others exposing his shortcomings? Besides, Xi'er was just explaining that there is no such thing as equal wives in the laws of the Zhou Dynasty. According to regulations, Prime Minister Nan happened to have set such a precedent, so she just said it casually, so Prime Minister Nan doesn't need to be too sensitive. "
Nan Xingzhi's face was as gloomy as ink.
Thinking of the financial difficulties in Nan Xiang's Mansion these past two days, and of Nan Xi's deeds as a fatherless person, he wished he could sever the father-daughter relationship with her on the spot, and let the world take a good look at the white-eyed wolf daughter he had raised in the Prime Minister's Mansion. !
However, with the regent here, Nan Xingzhi could only endure the anger for his life.
"Everyone, please be patient and don't hurt your peace because of me." Ye Qingcheng spoke softly, with a smile in his voice, "Marriage cannot be forced, and marriage between two countries is not a piece of cake, so you might as well listen to my thoughts."
The prince of Shu frowned and warned coldly: "Nine sisters."
Ye Qingcheng ignored him and looked at Nan Xi: "Is the Princess Regent unwilling to accept me, or is she unwilling to accept the Princess Regent taking a concubine?"
Nan Xi smiled gently: "Princess, do you want to hear a gentle explanation or a rough answer?"
Ye Qingcheng seemed to find it interesting, and asked playfully: "How should I say gentleness? How should I say roughness?"
"It's true." Nan Xi's voice was gentle and polite, but firm. "My prince and I love each other deeply. He has not let me down, and I will not let him down. We have a harmonious relationship and will grow old together. There is no room for anything else between us husband and wife." Anyone insert."
When the ministers heard this, their expressions were subtle and awkward. They secretly complained that the Princess Regent was too shameless and did not feel ashamed to talk about love in public.
However, seeing the regent quietly curling up his lips and looking happy, everyone only dared to curse in their hearts and suppressed their shame on their faces.
Ye Qingcheng asked: "Is this a gentle term?"
"Indeed."
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said: "What about the rougher one?"
"I am a narrow-minded, selfish, and extremely possessive woman. My mind is as big as the tip of a needle. I am unwilling to share a husband with another woman. If anyone dares to covet my husband, I will definitely let him do it within my ability." She would rather die." Nan Xi smiled lightly, "If I can't do it myself, I will let my prince take action. In short, anyone who has evil intentions and tries to be my sister, I will let her know. It won’t end well for my sister.”
Everyone suddenly shuddered and thought of the daughter born in the brothel of Prime Minister Nan. It was said that the girl Nan Yue was already receiving guests in the brothel and was not allowed any freedom. Prime Minister Nan secretly sent someone to ask for someone from the brothel madam. But Nanyue was sent in because she offended the regent and Nan Xi, and the madam didn't dare to give him this face.
Although Nanyue was quite pretty, she was already not perfect before entering the brothel. Not only did she lose her virginity, but she was even pregnant with Gu Qingshu's child. Almost no one in the entire imperial city knew about this. dawn.
Such a woman is naturally worthless in a brothel. Even because she is holding down a regent, the girls in the brothel know that she will never be able to stand up again in this life, and they bully her hard. The guests who go to have fun know that she was Gu Qingshu's People also looked down upon her from the bottom of their hearts.
In short, Nan Yue does seem to be living in dire straits now.
And all this is just because she is Nan Xi's sister.
There was an audible silence in the main hall.
The emperor's expression darkened visibly, and the queen's face turned blue and white, with anger rising.
Nan Xiang's face was livid and silent.
The regent was the only one who was calm and calm, not affected by these words at all, and even felt vaguely enjoying it.
"Domineering." Ye Qingcheng glanced at the Prince Regent casually, her red lips under the veil were slightly raised, and her beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent moons when she smiled, "The Princess Regent's temperament is really in line with this princess's taste. I think if I’m going to be the princess’s sister, so the end shouldn’t be too bad.”
Nan Xi raised her eyebrows: "Why do you see that?"
"Because like the princess, I am selfish, narrow-minded, extremely possessive, and my mind is smaller than the head of a needle. I also don't like to share the same husband with others."
"Nine sisters!" The prince of Shu's face was gloomy, obviously suppressing his anger, "What are you talking about? The marriage is related to the peace of the two countries and the stability of the world. How can you be allowed to talk nonsense and act willfully?!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is right," an envoy from the Shu Kingdom said seriously, "The princess has the important responsibility of being a peacemaker and must take the maintenance of peace between the two countries as her own responsibility. How can she act so arbitrarily?"
"Your Highness the Princess is too willful!"
Ye Qingcheng seemed not to have heard Ye Yan and the envoy's crusade. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a coquettish voice: "If this princess doesn't covet the regent at all, can the princess allow me to stay in the regent's palace for a few days?"
"Jiu Mei!" Ye Yan stood up and stared at Ye Qingcheng coldly, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"Prince, please be patient." Rong Chuyun said calmly, "Your Majesty, the prince does not need to worry too much about your child's character."
Ye Yan looked at Ye Qingcheng coldly, his expression as cold as ice, and his eyes were full of gloomy warning.
However, Ye Qingcheng didn't even look at him from beginning to end. His eyes fell directly on Nan Xi's face, with a somewhat lazy look in his eyes.
Nan Xi was silent for a moment, her eyebrows showing deep thought.
Don’t you covet the regent?
How many days will you stay at the Prince Regent's Palace?
For some reason, she had never had any hostility towards this woman whom she had only met once, and even felt a sense of mutual appreciation. Perhaps the fate between people is so wonderful, regardless of gender.
And from this scene, Ye Yan's anger did not seem to be fake. Could it be that Ye Qingcheng did not come to the Great Zhou for marriage on her own accord, so she lost face at the palace banquet in front of the monarchs and ministers of the two countries and the prince of Shu?
With such a guess in mind, Nan Xi smiled and said, "Of course. As long as you don't have any ideas about my prince, you can stay as long as you want. If what you said is not true, the Regent's Mansion is a den of dragons and tigers for you. It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out."
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
The emperor and the queen's faces changed slightly, and they immediately thought of Gu Qingshu who entered the Regent's Mansion three days ago. Until now, his life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts cannot be found. There is not even a trace, as if this person has evaporated from the world.
"Don't worry, Princess." Ye Qingcheng raised her hand and gently lifted her hair. She was full of charm and amorous feelings. "I don't have any other advantages, but I stick to my principles, keep my word, and don't do anything that hurts others or benefits myself."
