Chapter 220 Let You Rely on Me Forever
With her temperament, she is actually not the material to be an emperor at all.
Although she didn't understand why Dongling Priest Hall had to have this rule, and how credible those so-called prophecies were, since her mother said so, the matter was probably a certainty.
Moreover, Nan Xi was not willing to gamble on the survival of the world for her own selfishness. Even if there was only a one percent chance, she would not dare to take the risk at the expense of the lives of thousands of innocent people and soldiers.
Therefore, letting Rong Yu take power is the best arrangement.
Firstly, it was to reassure him. As long as she was a pampered little wife and left all the ups and downs outside to him, she would probably be able to eliminate all the uneasiness in his heart.
Secondly, it is also because Rong Yu himself is not an ambitious and warlike person, and power is easily accessible to him, so he does not care so much. If Dongling is in charge, he will definitely be able to continue to maintain peace and stability.
However, this idea is obviously just wishful thinking on her part.
Rong Yu calmed down, but rejected her proposal: "The master of Dongling can only be you, and no one else can."
Nan Xi was surprised: "Not even you?"
"Um."
"Why?"
Rong Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Everything in the world is unpredictable, and I don't dare to take risks."
Nan Xi doesn't understand.
Why is such a thing risky?
Rong Yu didn't seem to know how to explain it to her, and there seemed to be too many unspeakable things hidden in his eyes, so he just whispered: "We will talk about this later."
Nan Xi pondered for a moment and then changed the topic at the right time: "How are the envoys from South Vietnam, Xiqi and Northern Xinjiang doing in the palace?"
Rong Yu said: "It's nothing to worry about."
Nan Xi kissed him: "I knew my husband was the most powerful."
"You are awesome too." Rong Yu kissed her back, "Fuchen's fiancée is very nice, you and her should get along well."
The dusty fiancée?
Nan Xi thought of the little general Chu Xuanyi and Fuchen mentioned before, Chu Hongyi?
"You just said she recognized a grandson. What happened?"
Rong Yu smiled lightly and told her what happened, which made Nan Xi a little surprised: "Is this General Chu too powerful, or is the general from Xiqi too incompetent?"
"The young ruler of the Western Qi Dynasty ascended the throne, and the power of auxiliary government was in the hands of the regent Lin Ao. Lin Ao was very ambitious, but his son was an uneducated and inexperienced playboy and could not take on big responsibilities, so Lin Ao could only hand over the military power to his nephew Lin Wu Come and take charge." Rong Yu explained to her, "The Lin family has exclusive power and the throne is in name only. Half of the civil and military officials in Xiqi have joined the Lin family, and the foundation of the royalists supporting the young emperor is not weak, so Xiqi is currently experiencing real civil strife. , Lin Ao sent her daughter to make peace with her this time. South Vietnam and Northern Xinjiang thought that they were on the same side, but in fact Lin Wu really came with the purpose of making peace with Da Zhou. "
Nan Xi frowned: "Does this regent want his uneducated son to ascend the throne as emperor?"
"Maybe. Although this idea is not realistic." Rong Yu said, "Even if Lin Ao's son becomes the emperor, he will still be a controlled emperor. The turmoil in Xiqi is inevitable."
The situation sounds quite complicated.
However, Nan Xi was not particularly interested in Xiqi's affairs, and there would be no end to the conversation once these things were discussed. She thought of the tough and interesting Chu girl, and couldn't help but get curious: "Fuchen is as beautiful as a flower, but she is as beautiful as a flower. There is such a powerful fiancée, and I don’t know how the two of them get along. "
Rong Yu didn't say anything, maybe he didn't know how Fuchen and Chu Hongyi would get along.
"Rong Yu." Nan Xi put her arms around his neck and smiled softly, "I haven't told my mother about the pregnancy yet."
Rong Yu hummed, "There's no rush, it won't be too late to talk tomorrow."
Nan Xi nodded.
"Mother-in-law is going to announce your identity in the palace tonight." Rong Yu lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Be mentally prepared."
Announce her identity?
Nan Xi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Then I'm going to feel completely proud tonight?"
Rong Yu locked her eyebrows for a moment.
"Although I was feeling proud at first." Nan Xi smiled and kissed him, her voice as soft as cotton candy, "With such a powerful husband, I am already the most beautiful woman in the world, and with my status as a Dongling royal family Blessing, icing on the cake, more expensive... I can only imagine how many people will be stunned tonight to see who will dare to call me a business woman in the future."
She raised her eyes slightly and smiled: "Rong Yu, am I too vain?"
"No." Rong Yu said, "You deserve the best."
Nan Xi sighed: "You like me, so you always think that I deserve the best, but in the eyes of those who don't like me, I am actually worthless."
"Don't pay attention to those irrelevant people, they are blind." Rong Yu said in a calm voice, "The best doctor in the world can't cure their eye diseases."
Nan Xi was made to laugh, and couldn't help hugging him and kissing him hard: "I just like your husband's domineering attitude. I will rely on you for the rest of my life."
Rong Yu raised the corner of his mouth: "Okay, I'll let you stay for the rest of your life."
…
The evening palace banquet was held in the Imperial Garden. There were many people and the atmosphere was noisy.
The men and women sat at separate tables.
When the royal family members and Zhou Dynasty courtiers present saw the high imperial platform, they couldn't help but think of the previous turmoil at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and an invisible pressure slowly came over their hearts.
In addition to the pressure, the female relatives were also a little confused.
Historically, only ministers were present to entertain envoys, and almost no female relatives would participate in such occasions. Tonight, the regent specifically ordered all the female relatives of the clan to attend the palace banquet. I don’t know why.
The envoys of various countries sat in the position closest to the imperial platform and chatted in low voices. Only Lin Wu, who was humiliated by Chu Hongyi today, had a gloomy face and obvious bruises at the corners of his eyes. It was said that he was greeted by Chu Hongyi’s fist, and finally he was forced to call "ancestor" before he stopped.
Although he was forced, this time Xiqi lost face. Lin Wu, who was known as the first general of Xiqi, also fell hard, letting him know that there are people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens. His uncle was in charge of Xiqi’s power, but it didn’t mean that he had the capital to be arrogant in front of the rulers of other countries.
The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty sat down in order according to their respective status. The seats of the female relatives of the clan were separated from the ministers by a screen. The seats seemed to be no different from the last time, except that there were a few fewer people.
In addition to the imprisoned Queen Mother, Wen Lan was no longer on the list, and Bai Rourou, the daughter of the fallen Bai family, was naturally not eligible to attend.
Of course, there were a few more people, such as Nan Xiang's co-wife Li and the second daughter Nan Jiao.
"Mother." Nan Jiao was a little excited and a little nervous, and whispered in her mother's ear, "This is my daughter's first time to attend a palace banquet. The scene is so grand and magnificent, much more grand than the banquets in ordinary powerful families."
