Chapter 259 Prepare for a Rainy Day

In a sense, Chu Hongyi and Rong Yu are actually the same kind of people.

They don't love power, but they are never afraid to be enemies with anyone. Even if they stand on the opposite side of the world, they will defend what they care about to the death - so Rong Yu has never deliberately suppressed Chu Hongyi.

Although he is not from Dongling, it is not difficult to get rid of Chu Hongyi with his ability - for Nan Xi, he doesn't mind being an enemy of the entire Dongling family, but there is no need.

Because not everyone will violate principles and bottom lines for power.

The main military power of Dongling is in the hands of Chu Hongyi, which makes people feel more at ease than other generals holding military power. Besides, she is a woman. Dongling has a queen, and a female general will bring great convenience in many cases.

Rong Yu is not a person who likes to play tricks, but for Nan Xi, he can play tricks to perfection. As early as the moment Chu Xuanyi took the initiative to find him, it was destined that the Chu family would pay a little price for his behavior.

After finishing her words, Chu Hongyi turned and left. When she stepped out of the door, she saw Fu Chen coming towards her.

Fu Chen came to the main courtyard after learning that Chu Hongyi had settled the iron cavalry, so he followed her. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Chu Hongyi walking out of the house with an expressionless face. He raised a gentle smile at the corner of his lips: "Hongyi."

Chu Hongyi hummed.

Fu Chen frowned slightly, and keenly noticed that she seemed to be in a bad mood. His voice became more gentle: "What's wrong with the little ancestor? She doesn't look very happy."

Chu Hongyi glanced at him, as if she had decided something important, and said lightly: "We sleep in the same room tonight."

Fu Chen's expression froze instantly.

Although he always knew that this girl was bold, usually did not act according to common sense, and often said shocking things, but... what stimulated her?

"Have you had dinner?"

Fu Chen came back to his senses, nodded subconsciously and smiled: "I have, I'll have someone prepare some for you-"

"Go take a bath."

Fu Chen's smile froze again: "..."

What happened to the little ancestor?

Chu Hongyi obviously didn't intend to explain to him, and strode forward, which made Fu Chen's eyebrows gradually frown: "Hongyi, did the regent say something to you?"

Chu Hongyi tilted her head and glanced at him: "Not him."

No?

Fu Chen's expression relaxed slightly, "Then what did my cousin say to you?"

"Not the princess either."

Fu Chen frowned, but she clearly walked out of their house.

He thought about it and guessed again: "That's my aunt?"

"Noisy." Chu Hongyi stopped impatiently, and without saying anything, she carried him on her shoulders, "Tonight we have made a done deal. After returning to Dongling, whoever dares to stop our marriage, I will kill him!"

After the words fell, her feet rushed away like a gust of wind, so fast that Fu Chen didn't even have time to think: "Hongyi, slow down! Slow down, slow down..."

Nan Xi, who watched the two people's actions through the window, was stunned for a while: "General Chu is really tough."

Her beautiful cousin was probably completely eaten by Chu Hongyi.

"Are you trying to make the brothers and sisters of the Chu family fight each other?" Xuanyuan Xi looked at Rong Yu, frowning slightly, "Although the emperor of the Great Zhou is not you, your imperial mentality is really admirable."

Rong Yu smiled lightly: "Mother-in-law, you are too kind, this is just the appetizer."

Nan Xi retracted her gaze, turned her head to look at Rong Yu, and smiled sincerely: "My husband is really amazing."

Rong Yu's lips curled up.

Xuanyuan Xi was too lazy to pay attention to the mushy couple, and stood up and said, "I am an old man who can't compare with you young people. I am not in good spirits. I have to go to bed early at night, so I won't chat with you."

Nan Xi wanted to get up and see her off, but her mother waved her hand to stop her: "Just sit still and don't move."

After saying that, she walked out and happened to meet the maids carrying trays and food boxes. She thought of what Nan Xi had just told the maids, that they were worried that her husband didn't have dinner and was hungry.

Xuanyuan Xi shook her head, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried while laughing. There was nothing wrong with Xi'er trusting Rong Yu so wholeheartedly, but if the king of a country indulged in love, it would easily cause dissatisfaction among the court officials, and there would be more friction in the future.

However, when she thought of the nightmare that Nan Xi had told her, Xuanyuan Xi's worries disappeared. For her, being the emperor of destiny was important, but it was based on not violating her daughter's wishes. In other words, being the empress would not hurt Nan Xi or affect her happiness.

If being the empress meant being coerced and making some kind of compromise, which would affect the relationship between Nan Xi and the person she cared about most and make her sad and lonely, then it would be better not to be the empress.

At most, she could go back to Da Zhou and continue to be her honorable regent princess, enjoy a lifetime of glory, be a little woman who was pampered and spoiled, have a strong man to protect her from the wind and rain, and work hand in hand for a hundred years. Such happiness was better for them than holding hands with the country.

In the room, Nan Xi did not understand her worries at all. Four maids put the freshly cooked dishes on the table, and Nan Xi pulled Rong Yu to sit down at the table.

"Tonight I will serve my husband." Nan Xi smiled and reached out to pick up a shrimp from the plate, "I'll peel it for you."

Rong Yu was silent for a moment, his eyes fell on her calm and beautiful face: "My beloved concubine, is there anything you want me to do?"

"No." Nan Xi shook her head subconsciously, and then said coquettishly, "You have to take care of a lot of things outside every day, and take care of me personally. It's already very hard. Isn't it my duty to be considerate of you?"

Rong Yu lowered his eyes slightly and saw her white and slender fingers: "My beloved concubine's hands are not used to peel shrimps..."

"People have a pair of hands, which is used to do things. They are spoiled on weekdays, and they can't be wronged by doing something occasionally."

Rong Yu grabbed her hand, lowered his head and sucked her fingers, with a little shrimp taste on his fingertips: "No need to peel, I don't eat shrimp."

Nan Xi's fingertips were numb and her cheeks were hot: "Don't be like this, hurry up and eat, I've been hungry for most of the day."

Rong Yu said: "Aren't you going to ask me about the Chu family?"

"There's nothing to ask." Nan Xi stuffed the peeled shrimp meat into his mouth, "I trust you to do things."

Rong Yu has grown up so big, what kind of delicacies has he not eaten? But I have never thought that shrimp is such a delicious food, sweet in the mouth and warm in the stomach.

With a slight smile on his lips, he said: "Although Chu Xuanyi is annoying, Chu Hongyi is trustworthy, and she is a woman. She can help you in the government in the future, so you don't have to worry about anything."

Worry about what?

Nan Xi was a little slow to react to Rong Yu's meaning, and couldn't help raising an eyebrow: "You know how to plan ahead."
