Chapter 339 Gift of Plum Blossoms

Chu Nanyi calmly put the fan in his hand on his waist.

Xie Jin sneered: "This young master does not care whether your fan is valuable or not, but sneers at your boring behavior of pretending to be elegant. Princess Feng is not here, General Chu is not here, who are you pretending to be elegant like a peacock?"

Three people were offended by one sentence... Oh no, four people.

Chu Nanyi, Mo Lingan and Prince Qi looked at him expressionlessly, while Rong Yu glanced at him indifferently.

Xie Jin smiled at the corner of his lips and calmly said: "I am the only legitimate son of the Xie family. The huge family business my father has built will be left to me in the future. I am not interested in entering the palace."

Rong Yu lowered his eyes, and his slender and thin fingers elegantly lifted the teapot and refilled himself with a cup of tea.

Mo Lingan said: "Although my father has little power, I am also the only son in the family. If I enter the palace, I may even lose my life in the future. Who will carry on the Mo family's lineage? I don't want to be an unfilial son."

"Lose my life?" Xuanyuan Yao seemed to have heard something strange, "Why would I lose my life?"

"Hasn't the struggle in the harem been cruel since ancient times?" Mo Lingan said calmly, as if he dared to say anything like a child. "Although women are good at intrigue, I think that's because men don't have much chance, otherwise... I am probably no less inferior in this respect. If I die quietly in the harem, I may not even have a place to seek justice. "

Su Hanyu was silent for a moment, and smiled faintly: "You are exaggerating, after all, you are a son of the Dongling family, who dares to let you die quietly in the harem?"

"Who can be sure of such things?" Mo Lingan shook his head, "Anyway, I am not interested in entering the palace."

Xuanyuan Yao stroked his chin: "It's a pity that the princess and I are cousins, otherwise I would be willing to give it a try."

After the voice fell, there was a moment of silence in the hall.

"You?" Xie Jin glanced at him, his phoenix eyes slightly raised, "Aren't you afraid that eighty military sticks will kill you?"

Xuanyuan Yao frowned: "Where are the military sticks in the harem?"

"Well, there are no military sticks in the harem, only white silk and a hundred feet of red." Xie Jin said in a light tone, "It's not as powerful as a military stick. Do you want to be sentenced to death like a concubine who made a mistake?"

Xuanyuan Yao looked unkind: "Who dares to let me die?"

"The Regent dares." Xie Jin said, "If it weren't for Princess Feng's plea that day, eighty military sticks would have been applied, and you would probably still be lying on the bed today... Oh no, lying on your stomach."

Xuanyuan Yao was angry and embarrassed: "Xie Jin, are you looking for death?"

Xie Jin's lips slightly raised, with a mocking look on his handsome face: "I believe you dare not do anything to me."

The only precious legitimate son that Prime Minister Xie put on the tip of his heart, this life is precious. Not to mention Xuanyuan Yao, even if the emperor wants to do something to him, he has to weigh the consequences.

Xuanyuan Yao was silent for a moment, then sneered coldly: "Can this prince think that you deliberately provoked me to be hostile to the Regent by saying that just now?"

"Of course not." Xie Jin's voice was lazy, and his eyebrows showed a playful luster. "I want to tell you that the Regent is a jealous person with a strong desire for exclusivity. If you think you are his opponent, think you are more cunning, capable, and hard-hearted than him, and can outsmart him and ensure that you will not die in his hands, you can go to the palace and try to experience what it feels like to compete for favor."

More than a dozen pairs of eyes in the flower hall fell on his face subtly.

"It sounds like Master Xie Jiu knows the Regent very well." Su Hanyu smiled faintly, "If that's the case, does it mean that Princess Feng can't have other imperial husbands besides the Regent?"

Xie Jin smiled faintly: "Yes, just be prepared for an unexpected death."

Su Hanyu's expression froze.

Others looked at Rong Yu, who was sitting in the main seat, intentionally or unintentionally, but they saw that he seemed to have not heard what Xie Jin and Su Hanyu said, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his noble and indifferent face was always calm.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little subtle.

Mo Xuanwu, Su Hanyu, Xuanyuan Yu and others looked at Xie Jin thoughtfully, thinking that the ninth son of the Xie family was acting a little abnormal today, and had been speaking for Rong Yu intentionally or unintentionally, which was different from his usual temperament.

They couldn't help but think deeply, was he trying to show goodwill to the regent, or was he already very familiar with the regent?

Xuanyuan Yao, who directly declared his allegiance, had already made his attitude clear. Prince Qi of Jingwang Mansion was probably on the side of the Queen's Party because of Chu Hongyi. Once he determined his position, Chu Hongyi obviously also pledged loyalty to the regent and the future Queen.

If Xie Jinruo also moved closer to the regent and the empress, then at least two of the four major families would have become the quasi-backers of the empress, plus Xuanyuan Yao and his Huainan Army...

The throne of the third empress of Dongling is as stable as a rock.

Su Hanyu tightened her hand holding the teacup, her eyes were deep, and Mo Xuanwu, the legitimate son of the Mo family, also sat silently by the side without expressing his opinion.

In the silence and depression, no one noticed that in the corner of the flower hall far away from the main seat, the young Xuanyuan Chen, dressed in a plain robe, sat silently, drinking tea alone, as if isolated from the world. When others spoke, he would look up at the right time, and his face would occasionally reveal some subtle expressions to let people know that he was not in a daze.

It's just that he didn't say a word from beginning to end, keeping a low profile and forbearing, not showing off. That pale face looked a little malnourished, but because of his low status and weak presence, people didn't focus on him.

At this time, everyone was silent, and he lowered his head even more quietly, sitting as quietly as the air.

Until the sound of footsteps came from outside the hall.

Rong Yu raised her eyes and saw Nan Xi walking down the winding corridor, followed by Xuanyuan Jia, Yin Yue, and Yin Shuang. Yin Yue was holding a tray in her hand, and in the tray were a few branches of fresh wintersweet that had just been broken off.

Rong Yu saw the plum blossoms from a distance and pursed his thin lips.

When the others saw Nan Xi coming back, they naturally wanted to stand up and salute.

"Everyone, please take a seat." Nan Xi walked into the flower hall and smiled gently, "I just went to the garden for a walk and found that the plum blossoms were blooming so beautifully, I couldn't help but break a few branches."

It is human nature for women to love plum blossoms.

The young masters nodded without thinking much.

However, in front of everyone, Nan Xi walked up to Rong Yu, lowered his head and looked at Rong Yu for a while, then reached out to lift Rong Yu's chin, and looked at his face seriously: "My husband has a handsome face. Your nobility is as unparalleled as your ability to lead troops in battle, and no one can match it."

Rong Yu: "..." What did Aifei do?

All the gentlemen in the hall said: "..." Your Highness the Princess is so open?

"Plum blossoms represent beautiful and steadfast love." Nan Xi reached out and took six plum blossoms from the jade plate held by Yinyue and presented them to Rong Yu. "I specially folded these for you. I hope your husband likes them." ”
