Chapter 274 What's Your Business?

The royal family members and important ministers looked at Nan Xi. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was very bright and charming, and her facial features were somewhat similar to those of the eldest princess. It was not easy to mistake her.

At this time, she was wearing a red fur cape with white piping, which made her whole body more dewy and delicate. She was not inferior to the ladies of the Dongling Imperial Capital family, but more eye-catching and elegant.

As for the man beside her...

Husband?

Everyone was suddenly dissatisfied. Although they had heard from the eldest princess that Princess Feng had gotten married in Da Zhou, but now that they have arrived in Dongling, can the previous marriage still count?

Princess Feng is the Princess Feng of Dongling, not the regent princess of Zhou Dynasty, but the dignified crown prince of Dongling. How can she be called "husband" like an ordinary boudoir woman?

Too unseemly.

A group of people walked into the emperor's palace.

The golden carved dragon pillars stand majestically, and the layers of bright yellow dragon curtains show the awe-inspiring and noble identity of the king of the country, and also block the unpredictable dragon face of the king on the dragon couch in the inner hall.

"Your Majesty, High Priest." The chamberlain walked into the inner hall and reported respectfully, "Princess Feng is here."

"Coming?" An old man's weak voice came from the inner hall, a little hoarse, "Let her come in."

"yes."

The chamberlain turned around and walked over, saluting Xuanyuan Xi and Nan Xi: "The Emperor has summoned His Royal Highness the Princess."

Nan Xi nodded and walked towards the inner hall. Rong Yu followed her silently. After taking two steps, a man in front of him stretched out his hand to stop him.

"My father only summoned Princess Feng, leaving irrelevant people behind."

Rong Yu's expression was indifferent, with a thin layer of frost covering his noble and handsome face, revealing an alienation and indifference that would repel others thousands of miles away.

Nan Xi stopped and looked at the middle-aged man who was speaking. He should be a few years older than her mother. She secretly guessed his identity and then said with a faint smile, "Mom, this is the eldest uncle." ?”

Xuanyuan Xi smiled lightly and said, "Yes, this is the eldest son of Emperor Dongling, my mother's brother, your eldest uncle, and he is titled King Wei."

Nan Xi said oh, and said in a calm tone: "Originally, as a junior, I should pay tribute to the emperor's uncle, but I heard that I came back to Dongling this time to succeed to the throne, so according to royal etiquette, the monarch and his ministers should come first. Uncle Huang is here to greet me."

King Wei's expression changed slightly, and the other clan ministers present also looked at her in surprise. Apparently they did not expect that this little girl, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, would give them a blow as soon as she came back.

"Princess Feng is absolutely right. Kings and ministers are always ranked before father and son. The royal family does not care about seniority, but King Wei has no intention of letting Princess Feng see the ceremony. What he means is..."

"I know what Uncle Huang means." Nan Xi interrupted the speaker lightly, "It's just that you may not understand what I mean."

King Wei frowned: "Princess Feng might as well speak up to see if we are really too stupid."

"What I mean is that I returned to Dongling this time to inherit the throne and become the queen of Dongling. If not, I would not have come back." Nan Xi smiled faintly, "I grew up in Dazhou for sixteen years. I always thought that I was from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and later I married the regent and became the regent's concubine - these were all things that happened before I returned to Dongling, and no one can change this fact. "

The king of Wei and all the ministers were silent.

"Rong Yu is not an outsider, and he is not an irrelevant person to me." Nan Xi looked calmly, "As my husband, I have just arrived in a completely unfamiliar place. My husband must protect my personal safety at all times, fearing that I I feel wronged and worried that I will be bullied..."

"Princess Feng is the Crown Prince of Dongling. Who dares to bully you?"

"This is just my uncle's own idea. My husband loves me deeply, so naturally he doesn't want to take any risks."

King Wei was speechless: "But he is not a Dongling subject——"

"If I become the Empress of Dongling, my husband will be the Queen's husband. The emperor's husband should be considered a legitimate member of the Dongling royal family, right?" Nan Xi smiled lightly, "Or, uncle actually doesn't want to see me come back to inherit the throne. Emperor? If so, I can go back to Da Zhou immediately."

King Wei's face darkened, and he turned to look at Rong Yu: "I have also heard of the reputation of the regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He has the power of 400,000 troops and horses. He is the uncrowned emperor in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is true that the imperial court Everyone inside and outside is in awe of the Regent. Is it possible that the Regent will rely on Princess Feng to protect you when you arrive at Dongling?"

Rong Yu's voice was indifferent: "What's your business?"

There were no unnecessary words, just one sentence, four words, but it made King Wei's face turn green and white, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

The bright yellow dragon curtain fluttered, and a young man in snow-white floor-length robes walked out with a golden scepter in hand. His eyes were gentle and handsome, and his expression was calm. His eyes fell on Nan Xi's face, and his eyes were as calm as water, showing no emotion.

"Your Majesty is waiting to see Princess Feng." He seemed to have not heard the dispute outside, and his voice was as calm as water, "Please invite Princess Feng and..."

Turning his eyes slightly, his eyes fell on the face of Rong Yu who was standing next to Nan Xi. He only stayed for a moment, then quickly looked away, "Come over with the Regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

King Wei had a worried expression, but he had to suppress his emotions. When the other clan members and nobles heard the high priest's words, they naturally couldn't deliberately embarrass him.

Nan Xi nodded and walked into the inner hall.

Rong Yu followed her silently. When he passed the high priest, he paused slightly, and then followed Nan Xi towards the dragon couch with an expressionless face.

The emperor leaned against the bedside, with two maids serving beside him. He was wearing a loose robe and looked lazy and a little weak, but his eyes still revealed the majesty of the emperor.

"Princess Feng," the eunuch reminded, "You must salute the emperor when you enter the palace."

"She has never saluted anyone." Rong Yu said indifferently, "She won't salute here either."

The eunuch's face changed, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the emperor. Obviously, he had never encountered such a situation and was a little at a loss.

The emperor's bedroom was so big that even with the dragon curtain between them, the sound of talking could not be blocked. When the king of Wei and other royal relatives standing outside heard this, their faces changed at the same time.

"Kneeling before the emperor is a protocol for the monarch and his subjects in any country, whether it's the Great Zhou or Dongling. Is the regent deliberately trying to provoke the emperor's authority, or does he simply not take the emperor of Dongling seriously?" The King of Wei spoke in a cold tone, with obvious anger between his eyebrows. "It's true that Princess Feng is the crown prince of Dongling decided by my father and the high priest, and she will inherit the country in the future, but this does not mean that you can rely on your status as the regent of the Great Zhou to dictate the rules of Dongling!"
