Chapter 223: Having a Wife Is Enough

Qingyang had already arranged for the palace servants to add another chair next to the original two. Rong Yu helped Nan Xi sit down, his eyes were gentle, and his noble and cold profile seemed to have a noticeable warmth compared to the past.

Yin Yue helped Xuan Yuan Xi sit down together, and the chair was next to Nan Xi, and she and Rong Yu protected Nan Xi in the middle.

It was clear who had the highest status among the three.

Rong Yu was the regent, the highest authority in the Great Zhou, but he doted on his wife. Xuan Yuan Xi was the eldest princess of Dongling, and she also put her daughter first in her heart.

Nan Xi, a woman, regardless of how noble her extra status was, the honor and favor brought to her by these two people around her was enough to make all the women in the world envious and jealous. Of course, they could only envy and be jealous.

"Thank you, my beloved concubine, for protecting me." Rong Yu sat down beside her, his voice gentle and affectionate, "My beloved concubine is mighty and domineering."

"My husband is too kind." Nan Xi coughed lightly, her tone was particularly calm, "As the future empress of Dongling, I am practicing my courage in advance and trying to find the feeling."

"No need to deliberately find any feeling." Rong Yu said, "My beloved concubine is born with it."

"Really?" Nan Xi looked at him suspiciously, "You are full of confidence in me."

Rong Yu smiled but said nothing.

"Ahem." Xuanyuan Xi cleared his throat, took a sip of the tea handed over by Yin Yue, "Xi'er, don't be blinded by sweet words. Men's mouths are deceiving ghosts."

Rong Yu sat calmly on the chair, his expression calm and unperturbed.

"Don't worry, mother." Nan Xi turned her head, smiling, "Rong Yu doesn't want my money or my sex, but only me. Although I can't figure out what's so special about me, he is devoted to me... Well, even if he really has some ulterior motives for me, the worst result is that he will be cheated of money and sex, which is no big deal."

Listen to what he said.

Xuanyuan Xi was speechless, Rong Yu's mouth curled up, and even the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty under the imperial platform saw the undisguised smile on his face, and couldn't help feeling dizzy.

The virtuous king rubbed his eyes, raised his head and stared at the man on the imperial platform who smiled like a fool for a long time, and stretched out his hand to touch the person next to him: "Is that the regent?"

There are so many people here, why don't you care about your image at all? Smiling like a fool.

"It is indeed the regent." The minister who was pushed said truthfully, "The regent is content with having a wife, but I didn't expect that the mother of the regent's wife has such a great background, it's a pity..."

What a pity?

The virtuous king naturally understood what he heard, it was a pity for the prime minister.

If he had not been divorced and the relationship between husband and wife had not ended, the prime minister would not only be the father-in-law of the regent, but also have a wife who is a princess. Nan Xingzhi, who has already been a powerful minister, would have taken root among the powerful officials in the imperial capital at a faster speed, honoring the family and being prestigeous, instead of sitting alone at the table drinking wine like now, watching the mother and daughter on the imperial stage with glory, but he has lost all his glory and glory, and is left with only eclipse.

The virtuous king glanced at Nan Xingzhi not far away.

These days, Nan Xiang's life is not easy. The mansion has been emptied, the family is not at peace, and Nan Xingzhi's status in the court is getting worse day by day. In addition, he is the emperor's favorite. Now that the emperor has been imprisoned, the court officials who are prudent and self-protective have gradually alienated him.

I think it will not be long before someone will replace him as the prime minister.

Although it is sad to say, in fact, his luck is much better than most people. He has been supported by his wife all the way. He only cares about his career and doesn't have to worry about anything else. His wife manages everything in an orderly manner behind him. Even the concubines and daughters he keeps in the mansion are turned a blind eye. How many people have secretly envied Nan Xiang's good luck?

However, people are greedy and selfish.

He wants his wife's uncomplaining help, but he also despises his wife's merchant background, which makes him lose face and not grateful. He even raises his concubine's daughter openly, and wants to use the emperor's favor to promote the concubine to be a co-wife, so that the wife will be embarrassed in front of everyone. Isn't this a typical case of crossing the river and destroying the bridge?

He only knows how to be ungrateful, and now he has ended up like this. It turns out that all the dislike actually comes from the abandonment and sacrifice made by Mrs. Nan for this relationship.

Now that his virtuous wife is gone, others still live a glorious life, but he has begun to gradually return to poverty.

Life is a game of ups and downs. When luck is good, it can't be stopped. If you ruin your luck, it's too late to regret.

"The little uncle really likes the aunt." Prince Yun sat at the table, quietly looking at the tenderness between the eyebrows of the regent on the royal stage, and sighed melancholy, "When he is with the aunt, the uncle smiles so sincerely, and his happiness can't be concealed."

Several young princes sat around him. Prince Ning took a sip of wine: "I didn't expect that the aunt was actually a princess of the Dongling royal family."

"Who would have thought that her life experience would have such a big turn?" Prince Qi said in a light tone, "But Madam Nan has been hiding for more than ten years, and she has hidden it deep enough."

"What do you mean?" Prince Ning turned his head, "Prince Qi thinks Madam Nan has ulterior motives?"

"How can there be so many ulterior motives?" Prince Yun frowned and retorted disapprovingly, "Didn't you hear what Madam Nan said? She just married the Prime Minister incognito as a merchant girl because she liked him. She was probably worried that her royal identity would cause some speculation. Besides, Madam Nan has been married to the Prime Minister for so many years. In addition to supporting the Prime Minister all the way and giving birth to a daughter, she has not done anything else out of the ordinary."

"But his daughter married the Regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and at a sensitive time in the Great Zhou Dynasty, she came back to announce her identity." Prince Rui spoke with a deep tone, "Is this a carefully calculated plan?"

After the voice fell, the others were all silent.

Prince Yun frowned even more deeply: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean, you still don't understand?" Prince Rui sneered, "The regent holds the political and military power of the Great Zhou Dynasty and has imprisoned the emperor. The most important thing to do at this time is to depose the emperor and establish another one, but he has been hesitant to make a decision, and today he asked Princess Dongling to announce the identity of the regent's wife. Isn't the regent's mind clear at a glance?"

"You mean, the emperor's uncle wants to be the emperor himself?" Prince Yun raised his eyebrows and then smiled lightly, "If he really has such an idea, I think it's a good thing."

Good thing?

Prince Qi was silent.

Prince Rui and Prince Ning were also silent.

"Anyway, I have no idea about the throne, and I advise you not to have any either." Prince Yun smiled lightly, "Before I got to that position, I wanted to get to it at all costs, but after I got to that position, I found that I didn't have the strength to do so. I wanted help but was afraid that my ministers were too powerful. I was exhausted all day, and I couldn't eat well or sleep well. Every day, I felt like I was being persecuted. Why bother?"
