Chapter 324 Let’s Have a Discussion

When he said he didn't mind, he really didn't mind, Nan Xi could tell.

Because it wasn’t originally a husband-choosing banquet.

Nan Xi stretched out her hand and pulled him over to sit next to her, with a soft voice: "From now on, I will be responsible for being a pampered queen, and you will be in charge of everything outside."

Rong Yu said nothing and quietly held her in his arms.

Nan Xi leaned on his arm quietly and pondered for a moment: "Rong Yu."

"Um?"

"If I don't be a diligent and wise queen, will you be disappointed?"

Rong Yu frowned slightly: "Why are you disappointed?"

"Because the Empress Jinghua in her previous life was an empress with unparalleled sage and wisdom, Rong Huaijin should like such a woman."

Rong Yu lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "You already said that Rong Huaijin liked it, but Rong Huaijin is already dead."

Nan Xi said nothing.

Rong Huaijin is dead, but Rong Yu still retains Rong Huaijin's memory.

"What I like is you as a person, not how much you can contribute to the country, nor how much you have the world in mind." Rong Yu said with a low and sweet voice, "So don't think too much, eh?"

Nan Xi chuckled with a bright smile: "Yes."

"Did the baby have any fuss today?"

Nan Xi caressed her bulging belly: "No, I feel like he seems quite quiet. He moves occasionally, but he doesn't look like a child of more than five months."

Rong Yu said: "It should be a boy, his temperament seems to be relatively calm."

"Calm?" Nan Xi laughed, "Why didn't you say you were a quiet little girl?"

Rong Yu was silent for a moment. It was rare that he didn't follow her words, but insisted on his own point of view: "It's a boy."

"Why?" Nan Xi was really surprised, "You don't like girls?"

Didn't he say before that his daughter should be pampered?

"I like it." Rong Yu said, "Boys can be trained to be emperors as early as possible."

Nan Xi didn't expect that this was what he had in mind, and was silent for a moment.

She hasn't even ascended the throne yet, and he is planning to abdicate in favor of his son?

"Can't my daughter be the emperor?"

Rong Yu said softly: "If she wants to, she can."

On the one hand, the power he has established is for Nan Xi, and on the other hand, it is also so that Nan Xi can abdicate early in the future. Even if his son ascends the throne at the age of seven, he will still have enough loyal ministers and generals to assist him loyally. The power he has established is enough to control all countries. Therefore, even if Dongling can only have a queen every two hundred years, instead of a princess inheriting the throne naturally, he can break this convention.

But privately speaking, Rong Yu did not want his daughter to inherit the throne.

Jiangshan Sheji has a heavy responsibility, and it is too heavy to place on the shoulders of a girl. She has to face some covetous and ambitious foxes all day long. Even if there is help, it is inevitable to worry and work hard.

"It's late, go take a shower?"

Nan Xi hummed, and Rong Yu picked her up and headed towards the bathing hall.

After bathing, she put on a loose robe. Even though the palace was burning with earth dragons and it was much warmer than outside, Rong Yu still put a thin cloak on her and carried her from the bath hall to the bed.

The swollen belly became more and more obvious.

Nan Xi was half lying on the bed, gently stroking her abdomen. Recently, she liked to do this action very much. After bathing every night, she would lean on the bedside and get close to the child like this, feeling the little life slowly growing up in her belly. , inherited her and Rong Yu's bloodline, from birth to adulthood, she may have followed Rong Yu's temperament, being calm and taciturn yet powerful and awe-inspiring.

Nan Xi would even sketch a miniature version of Rong Yu in her mind, and then she would smile heartily, with a mother's gentle and loving glow in her eyes.

"You can't pamper a boy." Rong Yu lay beside her, stretched out his long arms and pulled her into his arms. The cool breath after taking a bath firmly surrounded her, and even his voice was somewhat bewitching. , "The emperor cannot be pampered, he must be taught strictly."

Nan Xi lay meekly in his arms and corrected him: "You must be strict with your children, but not harsh."

"The person who will be the emperor in the future cannot be pampered."

Nan Xi was silent: "I didn't say I wanted to pamper him."

Doesn't being strict mean being coddled?

Rong Yu's realization really made her don't know what to say.

However, through these short conversations, Nan Xi could already predict what kind of strict father the child would face after he was born. She felt that as a loving mother, she should give the child his rights before he was born. Fight for it.

"Rong Yu." Nan Xi sat up, her expression serious and solemn, "Let's discuss it."

Rong Yu looked at her, as if he was studying her expression: "What's the point of discussing? I'll do whatever you say, no need to discuss."

"No, this matter does need to be discussed. I cannot have my own way." Nan Xi said, "As for children, I think children must have a child's childhood. What do you think?"

Rong Yu nodded: "Well, you are right."

"Children are young and cannot be compared with adults. Even if they need to be taught well, they cannot use the same method you use to train soldiers in the military camp. It will be too much for children, what do you think?"

Rong Yu pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Yes."

"So, the child's education should be gradual and strict with kindness, that is, not only to let him understand the strictness of his father, but also to let him feel the love of his parents, right?"

Rong Yu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips as he listened to the words that seemed to be guiding a child, and his voice became deeper: "Yes, you are right."

Nan Xi felt that he was still very open-minded, so she lay back in his arms at ease: "Don't worry, it won't grow up in one day anyway, take your time."

At this time, Nan Xi felt that Rong Yu was gentle and could listen to what she said, so she quickly put her mind at ease.

However, she overlooked one thing.

Rong Yu's gentleness has always been given to her alone. In front of other people, whether it is the enemy on the battlefield, the opponent in the court, or even the soldiers in the barracks and his loyal subordinates, if you ask anyone about Rong Yu's temperament and methods of doing things, they will never use the word "gentle" to describe Rong Yu.

Even for his own son, Rong Yu insisted on the principle that "boys need to be tempered", so that in the future, when educating his son, his severity was almost as severe as training soldiers in the barracks, which once made Nan Xi feel so distressed that she almost thought her son was picked up.

But this is a later story.

The night deepened and the lights flickered.

Nan Xi leaned against Rong Yu's forehead and whispered, "Sleep well tonight. Get enough sleep, and you will feel better tomorrow."

If you have never had a good rest before, then from now on, you must go to bed on time every night to make up for all the sleep time you lost before.
