Chapter 316 Loving Siblings

Nan Xi sat with the Queen in Weiyang Palace for a while, and stood up to say goodbye after about a cup of tea: "The Queen doesn't look very energetic. I have a set of ice blue crystals here. Wearing them can help you relax. If you don't mind, please accept them."

Nan Xi said, and signaled Yin Yue to present the gift to the Queen.

Yin Yue handed over an exquisite brocade box. Nan Xi took it and opened the box. A set of ice blue crystal jewelry appeared in front of her, which made people's eyes light up.

The Queen, who has always been accustomed to all kinds of jewelry, naturally has no shortage of jade and gemstone jewelry, but the set of ice blue crystals in front of her is noble and elegant, with a bright and dazzling color. It is so beautiful that it can attract people's attention at a glance and make people happy.

The queen raised her lips and smiled: "Such a delicate color is only suitable for you little girls. How can I, who has stepped into the coffin, wear this?"

Nan Xi did not flatter hypocritically, saying that the queen looked like a little girl or something, but smiled and said: "It has nothing to do with whether it is suitable or not. This set of ice blue crystals is said to be condensed from the tears of the mermaids in the East China Sea. Although I don’t know whether this statement is reliable, it is true that ice blue crystals have the effect of calming the mind and soothing the nerves. Your Majesty can try it."

As she said, she closed the brocade box and handed it to the queen with both hands.

Queen Chen sighed: "It’s rare that you have the heart, so I will accept it and wear it tomorrow."

As she said, she gestured to the nanny beside her to accept it.

Nan Xi smiled and said: "Then your Majesty should rest early, I will go back first."

The queen nodded and ordered: "Send Princess Feng for me."

The palace servant took the order and sent her out.

When Nan Xi took Chu Hongyi out, the personal nanny said, "Aren't you planning to arrange a marriage for Princess Feng?"

"Arrange a marriage?" Queen Chen smiled faintly, "This girl is a smart one, and I don't want to be embarrassed in public."

The personal nanny's expression was slightly condensed: "She dares?"

"Why not?" Queen Chen took a sip of the teacup and said in a faint voice, "The emperor listened to the high priest's words and sent people to bring Princess Feng back from Da Zhou to inherit the throne. This made many people dissatisfied, including me. The royal family has a prosperous heir, and there is no shortage of young and promising children. Even if a woman really wants to ascend the throne, there are also many princesses and princesses. Why must she be a princess? Is it her? But I understand now. Look, which woman in the royal family is as smart and generous as her? "

Madam bowed her head: "Your Majesty is right."

"This Princess Feng is a person with strong opinions. She can speak powerfully in front of all the relatives and elders in the palace, and refute things she disapproves of directly, without caring about the so-called reputation of humility." The queen smiled faintly, "If I really dare to arrange a marriage for her in front of everyone, I'm afraid she will also dare to refute my face in front of everyone. Instead of that, I'd better let it go, so as not to end up in a bad way. "

After all, she has been in the deep palace for most of her life. If she didn't have this kind of brain, she would have been eaten by others with bones and dregs.

Although Princess Feng is not gentle, she doesn't seem to be arrogant and domineering. She is well-mannered and humble when she should be humble, but her superficial humility can't cover up her hardness in her bones.

The ministers submitted memorials asking her to choose a husband. She was probably fed up with the memorials after so many of them. That’s why she thought that holding a flower-viewing banquet was a good idea. The queen was still in the palace, so she could give the queen face by asking for her permission. But she had already said that she would invite the princes and ladies of the imperial capital to attend the flower-viewing banquet.

The princes and ladies were all there, both men and women. It was obvious that they were just trying to deal with it and get to know the temperaments of these princes and ladies of the imperial capital. If they really arranged a marriage, it would ruin the atmosphere.

The queen sighed lightly: "Forget it. She is willing to respect me. I will just walk down the steps. How many days can I have at such an old age?"

She not only roughly understood the temperament of this Princess Feng in the past few days, but also understood the extremely possessive regent beside her. He even dared to beat the prince of Huainan. What else could he not do?

So the ministers could only give suggestions on the matter of choosing a husband. It was up to Princess Feng to decide whether to agree or not. No one could make the decision for Princess Feng.

Empress Chen didn't ask for anything now. She only hoped that after the emperor abdicated, she would move to a quiet corner of the palace and accompany the emperor to enjoy his old age.

When she walked outside the Weiyang Palace, Nan Xi was about to say something, but she saw Chu Hongyi suddenly frowned, covered her mouth and ran to the side of a flower bed, bent down and retched.

Nan Xi's face changed slightly: "What's the matter?"

"Poisoned?" Yin Yue hurried over, took Chu Hongyi's hand and began to feel her pulse, but after a long time, she didn't find any poison. She looked at Nan Xi hesitantly, "It seems not... not poisoned."

Chu Hongyi took a deep breath, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth: "I'm fine."

Nan Xi looked at her thoughtfully.

Chu Hongyi turned around and walked over, "Let's go."

Back in the East Palace, Nan Xi dismissed the others and left Chu Hongyi alone to talk: "Are you and Fu Chen..."

Chu Hongyi was slightly startled, then raised her eyes to look at her, met Nan Xi's calm and gentle eyes, quickly understood what she meant, and nodded slowly.

"When?"

"On the way back to Dongling from Da Zhou." Chu Hongyi said, secretly calculating the days, "More than a month."

Nan Xi frowned: "Why is Fu Chen so irresponsible? He is like this before getting married, and he simply doesn't take the girl's reputation seriously."

Chu Hongyi glanced at her: "Don't blame him, I asked for it myself."

Nan Xi was speechless for a moment, then walked to the low couch in front of the window and sat down, motioning Chu Hongyi to sit down as well, and said: "So what are your plans now?"

"Princess Jing is not very willing to let me marry into the palace." Chu Hongyi said calmly, with no obvious emotion in her voice, "But her opinion is not important to us, and I don't plan to listen to her."

Nan Xi was silent for a moment: "Whether you want to listen to her or not, since you and Fu Chen have decided to get married, it's better to do it as soon as possible. Girls are different from men, and their reputations cannot be neglected."

Chu Hongyi didn't care about her reputation, but she was not a reckless person. If her reputation was not good, it would affect Fu Chen and be discussed by others, so some things were not as simple as you wanted.

After a moment of silence, she said: "If I marry Fu Chen, the Chu family will be very popular. Princess Chu Xuanyi can let him be quiet for a while, just as a way to suppress the Chu family's edge."

Nan Xi was silent, looking at her with a subtle look.

Are the brother and sister of the Chu family pitting each other without mercy?

Chu Xuanyi used Chu Hongyi's engagement as a bargaining chip for the benefit of the Chu family, and Chu Hongyi suppressed Chu Xuanyi for the sake of her and Fuchen's happiness to achieve the purpose of reassuring people...

They are really a pair of loving siblings.
