Chapter 315 You Are Right
Nan Xi looked at the memorial spread out on the table, her dark eyes were calm and indifferent, yet warm and touching: "I was just thinking that my husband is really the most handsome and powerful man in the world. Not to mention Dongling, even if you look at the entire Nine Kingdoms, I'm afraid no one can match him."
After saying this, she raised her eyes and looked at Rong Yu: "Am I right?"
"Yeah." Rong Yu pursed his lips and smiled lightly. At that moment, there seemed to be a breeze blowing in from the window, lifting his hair. The man's clear and picturesque eyebrows and eyes bloomed with dazzling prosperity, making people intoxicated, "You are right."
Nan Xi was distracted for a moment, stretched out her hand to turn his face, and pecked him heavily on the lips: "If everything is right, then listen to me. Don't be jealous, don't get angry, don't be petty, and don't-"
Before she finished speaking, her lips were blocked by the airtight breath, and she couldn't say a word.
Although Rong Yu reflected on whether he should not be jealous, it turned out that such reflection was useless. After reflection, he would still be the same. The next time he encountered a situation that required jealousy, he would never be vague, which always made Nan Xi angry and said: "Are you going to discipline me, or am I going to discipline you?"
At this time, Rong Yu would obediently reply: "You discipline me."
But that's all for later.
Since the ministers had submitted so many memorials to persuade her to choose a husband, Nan Xi certainly couldn't be too negligent. So after a few days, after she had read all the memorials persuading her to choose a husband, she decided to hold a flower viewing banquet and invite the sons and daughters of the powerful families in the imperial capital to the palace to appreciate the flowers.
Although it was nominally a husband selection banquet, it couldn't be called a husband selection banquet directly. These noble sons of famous families were all arrogant and had extraordinary family backgrounds. It was already a loss of face for a woman to choose them like a concubine. If she didn't choose them in the end, it would be even more shameful. How could they meet in the future?
That's why they sent out invitations in the name of a flower-viewing banquet, just to make it lively for the nobles and ladies to sit together. There are many people, both men and women, and it's not awkward.
However, Nan Xi has not yet ascended the throne, and the emperor and the queen are still alive. According to the rules, the selection of husbands should be presided over by the queen. If the concubines in the harem are interested, they can also come up to join in the fun, but there are too many elders, and young people will inevitably feel restrained when they are together. Inviting them to the palace to appreciate flowers in the name of a plum blossom banquet can make the atmosphere a little more relaxed and easy-going.
But you still have to communicate with the queen in advance, after all, she is the elder.
So they found a sunny day, and Nan Xi finally decided to pay her respects to the queen, but the emperor's harem is all concubines, and men are not allowed to enter except for the eunuchs.
Nan Xi didn't need to speak on this point, Rong Yu would consciously avoid it, but just in case, he ordered someone to summon Chu Hongyi, let Chu Hongyi accompany Nan Xi closely, Yin Yue and Yin Shuang were by his side, and they went to Weiyang Palace together.
Since Nan Xi returned to the palace, the Empress, who had been waiting for someone to come and pay respects but never got one, had finally tasted the iron plate. When she heard the news that Princess Feng wanted to see her today, she was really stunned: "Princess Feng wants to see you?"
The palace servant said respectfully: "Yes. Princess Feng said she came to pay respects to the Empress."
Paying respects?
This is really the sun rising from the west.
"It has been so long since she came. I thought that Princess Feng was so noble that she had forgotten that there was a queen in the harem." Empress Chen leaned on the phoenix couch with some fatigue, and her voice was a little mocking, "You are sensible today."
The personal nanny hurriedly said: "This is because Princess Feng doesn't know etiquette. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about her."
"Why should I worry about her? That's just a saying." The Queen raised her hand, "Let Princess Feng in."
"Yes." The palace servant took the order and left.
"Princess Feng has just returned from the Great Zhou Dynasty, so it's normal that she is not used to the etiquette of the Dongling royal family." The queen said lightly, "Besides, she has a special body, so it's better for her to stay in the East Palace to rest and recuperate."
The personal nanny whispered: "Your Majesty is generous, it's Princess Feng's blessing."
As soon as the voice fell, Nan Xi, wearing a lake blue cloak with a white fur collar, walked in accompanied by Chu Hongyi, followed by Yin Yue and Yin Shuang.
As soon as they met, the girl's bright and beautiful face made people lose their minds. The queen was stunned. Although it was not the first time they met, this Princess Feng did have a rare good appearance.
The dark pupils seemed to be embedded with stars in the sky, so clear and bright, gentle but firm and intelligent.
She is a woman without edge but with a strong opinion.
This thought flashed through the Queen's mind, but Nan Xi bowed slightly: "Queen."
The Queen sat up, her voice unconsciously gentler: "The weather is cold, and your body is special, so just stay in the East Palace and take care of your pregnancy. There is no need to come to me specially."
Nan Xi sat down, and the palace servants respectfully served tea and snacks.
"There are indeed some special circumstances in the past two days, so I haven't been able to come to pay my respects to the Queen. I am rude, please forgive me, Queen." Nan Xi said apologetically, "This time I came to see the Queen, in addition to paying my respects to the Queen, I also want to ask the Queen for instructions."
Queen Chen was silent for a moment.
She had to admit that even if this Princess Feng was different from the humble and dignified princesses and princesses in the royal family, and even had no respect and obedience that the younger generation should have, but just this attitude of neither servility nor arrogance really made people hate her.
Perhaps this is what people often call demeanor.
Queen Chen sipped her tea and said in a gentle voice: "What's the matter?"
"I would like to hold a plum blossom appreciation banquet in the Imperial Garden, and invite the young noble ladies from the imperial family to come to the palace to enjoy the flowers, and get to know each other's temperaments by the way." Nan Xi smiled lightly, "The Queen is in charge of the harem, so I should ask you for advice on such matters "One sound."
"Plum Appreciation Banquet?" Queen Chen pondered, thinking that this probably meant that Nan Xi had agreed to hold a husband selection banquet, "That's fine. You two young people can talk together and get to know each other, which will also make it easier for you to get to know people after you ascend the throne. Employ people.”
Nan Xi smiled gently and respectfully: "Actually, I want to ask, should this invitation be sent in the name of the Queen or in the name of the Eastern Palace?"
The straightforward meaning of this statement is, does the Queen want to host this flower viewing banquet?
If one wishes to take charge, this initiative will naturally be left to the Queen.
If you are not interested, let the East Palace handle it.
Empress Chen understood, but slowly shook her head: "I am not in good health, so I will not join in the banquet of you young people. Your body is special, so let the regent pay more attention and not be too tired."
Nan Xi came up and said that she would invite the princes and ladies of the imperial family. The young princes and ladies were all gathered together, so it was not convenient to talk. The flower-viewing banquet could only be held as a flower-viewing banquet. It didn't matter if the queen organized it. I mean, just let Princess Feng handle it herself, and they can feel more comfortable.
