Chapter 334 Asking for Trouble

Fang Lanyi pursed her lips: "Aren't you helping her?"

Nan Xi said calmly: "First of all, Prince Qi is engaged to General Chu. You should know this."

Fang Lanyi remained silent.

"It seems that they know, so it is not natural for them to get married?" Nan Xi said indifferently, "When I was in Da Zhou, I only knew that they were a couple, and they were still engaged lovers. In this case, I They are willing to let them get married, and this should not affect the interests of others - just treat me as my palace so that General Chu can be used by me in the future. Which one do you think this is a violation of? "

Fang Lanyi bit her lip gently, lowered her head and said nothing.

It is extremely normal for a future emperor to show kindness to his ministers and take back loyal ministers and good generals for his own use. Let alone not breaking any of the rules at all, even if he does, what will happen?

There is still a possibility that other princes will be deposed, but this is Princess Feng who the high priest invited back. It is certain that Her Majesty is the Queen. Even if the minister is granted a marriage in advance, no one dares to say anything, not to mention that this is not a marriage.

Fang Lanyi just didn't want to accept her fate.

"Furthermore, do you think General Chu needs my protection?" Nan Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of dignity, "If I don't interfere in this matter, Miss Fang thinks she can snatch Prince Qi away from her. ?”

Fang Lanyi was silent for a moment, moving her lips as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just remained silent.

What she wants to say is that she can.

As long as Princess Feng doesn't interfere, she has plenty of ways to get Princess Jing to facilitate this marriage. Chu Hongyi is good at leading troops in battles, but that doesn't mean she's good at other methods. Besides, Princess Jing doesn't like Chu Hongyi - for this alone, she can Let Chu Hongyi never enter the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion.

But Princess Feng would definitely not be happy if she said these words, and might even accuse her of being "scheming", so it would be better not to say anything.

Fang Lanyi always knows when to protect her own interests and not to expose her opponents. Just like when she used Ji Waner to come forward, it was Ji Waner who was beaten, and it was Ji Waner who angered Prince Qi. Moreover, Ji Waner was Princess Jing's niece, Prince Qi No matter how angry you are, you can't really break up with the Ji family.

If Nan Xi hadn't announced in front of everyone that Qi Shizi and Chu Hongyi were married, Fang Lanyi would not have confronted her directly. She knew that such a move was not smart and would most likely offend Nan Xi. , but she also knew that if she couldn't find a way to save the situation at this time, when they left the palace, the news that Prince Qi and Chu Hongyi had gotten married and that Chu Hongyi was pregnant would spread throughout the major families——

Whether it is the young masters entering the palace today or the noble ladies standing here at this time, they will let their families know the authenticity of this matter.

It has nothing to do with curiosity or gossip, but just an inevitable result of the various major families under the imperial power constraining each other and competing for power.

Qi Shizi and Chu Hongyi did not get married, and the situation remained unclear. However, once the two established a real relationship, it would mean that the Chu family and the royal family were firmly tied together. Other families need to seriously consider this matter.

Fang Lanyi doesn't care what the major families think, she only knows that once everyone knows and is convinced about this matter, then she will no longer have any room to turn things around, because King Jing will never let Qi Shizi's heirs wander outside. .

"Last point, Miss Fang probably hasn't figured out her identity and role yet." Nan Xi looked at her coldly, "Not to mention that Prince Qi and General Chu are already in love with each other and are engaged, so they cannot tolerate others. Even if they have no relationship, I don’t need to ask for your permission if I want to grant them a marriage.”

This sentence is really not polite to say.

From the perspective of a prince, this was considered an extremely serious accusation. Fang Lanyi's face turned pale and she knelt down suddenly: "I know my fault."

"You say you are wrong, but you are still unconvinced in your heart." Nan Xi raised the corners of her lips slightly, but her smile did not reach her eyes, "But I don't care whether you are convinced or not. I will start to remember my identity carefully today. Although Gong has a tolerant and generous temperament, he is not able to let others offend him and can still maintain a gentle and gentle temper. Especially as a quasi-emperor who is about to ascend the throne, his supreme status does not allow anyone to be disrespectful - even if your family background has given If you are confident enough, you must also learn the rules and etiquette in front of me."

Fang Lanyi's face was pale and stiff. She knelt on the ground and did not dare to argue. She only whispered: "Yes, I know my mistake."

Xuanyuan Xueling pouted. He is really a stupid person. He dares to play tricks in front of His Royal Highness. Isn't he asking for trouble?

Nan Xi looked at her: "I won't punish you today, but you'd better remember what I said. If there is a next time, I won't be polite to you."

"...Yes." Fang Lanyi clenched her hands tightly, "Thank you for your grace."

"Get up."

After Nan Xi said these three words, she ignored her and turned around to walk forward. Fang Lanyi stood up slowly, looked up at her slender back, and couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in her hand.

"How about forget it." Ji Waner stood beside her and whispered, "I think Princess Feng is not a soft-tempered person, and the child in Chu Hongyi's belly is actually her cousin's. At first I thought She doesn't behave well with others, but she didn't expect that she and her cousin have been married for a long time...Lanyi, Uncle Jing will not let the heirs of Prince Jing's palace live outside without any name or distinction. This matter is a bit... It’s not easy.”

Not easy to handle?

Fang Lanyi's face was expressionless. If it's not easy to handle, why not do it?

She stared coldly at the people in front of her, her eyes fell on Chu Hongyi beside Nan Xi, her expression was cold and hostile... However, at this moment, Chu Hongyi suddenly turned around, her eyes passed through the people behind her and fell on Fang Lanyi's face.

The two looked at each other, and the coldness on Fang Lanyi's face that she had not had time to hide fell into Chu Hongyi's eyes, and Chu Hongyi's usual indifference, her beautiful and cold face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, which made Fang Lanyi shudder.

She felt guilty, but she refused to show weakness, and forced herself to respond with an equally cold expression.

Chu Hongyi raised a cold and sarcastic arc at the corner of her lips, turned her head and retracted her gaze, but the look just now had made Fang Lanyi feel the extreme, as if the whole person was stepped on the ground.

Chu Hongyi looked down on her, and that look was clearly contemptuous, disdainful, and arrogant and arrogant.

Fang Lanyi clenched the handkerchief tightly, almost unable to hold back from crushing it.
