Chapter 353 Free Rice
What happened at the flower viewing party came to an end for now.
Whether it was Xuanyuan Yao who declared his loyalty in front of everyone, or Xie Jin who made it difficult to see through his thoughts, or the speculation caused by some not-so-good episodes at the palace banquet, although the aftermath has not passed yet, it is temporarily All fell silent.
Because the princes and ladies of the major aristocratic families who can be invited to the palace are all people with brains, who know what is important and what is important, understand the situation at hand, and know how to stay calm at the right time.
It's just that there seem to be more new faces in the imperial city in recent days.
"I have received some news one after another two days ago." Chu Nanyi put several pieces of information on the case, "His Royal Highness's enthronement ceremony should be very lively."
For three consecutive days after the flower-viewing banquet, Xuanyuan Yao, Chu Nanyi and Xie Jin would enter the palace to discuss government affairs with the regent. And because Nan Xi’s fetal position was stable, her pulse was stable, and she was in good health, they would all be in Rong Yu’s house during these days. Participate in the audit accompanied by others.
Rong Yu has been using practical actions to prove that Dongling's country belongs to Nan Xi, that the emperor who is about to ascend the throne in Dongling is Nan Xi, the queen, and that the real master in power is Nan Xi, not him, the regent.
This can be seen from the attitudes of Xie Jin and Chu Nanyi when they spoke.
"There have been many foreign faces in the imperial city in the past two days." Chu Nanyi stood in front of the case, a hint of interest appearing in his gentle brows, "There are also a few pretty young people."
Xie Jin sat in a chair nearby, holding his chin: "Are you as beautiful as me?"
Chu Nanyi glanced at him: "If it's purely about beauty, you may not necessarily be able to beat them, because these young men here are all selected from thousands of countries. Their beauty is extraordinary, comparable to that of courtesans in brothels."
Xie Jin raised his eyebrows: "You want to use your beauty to seduce me, Queen Dongling?"
Chu Nanyi nodded: "That's probably the case."
"Your Majesty the Queen, what do you think?" Xie Jin turned his head and looked at Nan Xi who was sitting on the couch in front of the window drinking tea and eating snacks. "The royal families of various countries are ready to send you beautiful boys."
Nan Xi took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I am not Her Majesty the Queen yet. If anyone who cares hears these words, be careful of your head moving."
"It doesn't matter." Xie Jin smiled casually, "With the regent here, my head can't be moved."
"Don't be too confident." Xuanyuan Yao spoke unhurriedly, with a leisurely and comfortable tone, with a hint of joking, "With your troublesome appearance, maybe one day it will be our regent who takes your head. Your Highness."
As soon as he finished speaking, several pairs of eyes in the hall fell on him in unison.
Chu Nanyi thought he was so brave, teasing his master in front of him, saying that the forty military cane was too light.
Xie Jin raised his eyes slightly, feeling that this baby was so cute and could always bring a little joy to others at the right time, so he leisurely raised one leg and looked at him with his chin on his head: "Ah Yao, this is a disguise. Compliment me for being good-looking?"
"What's the use of a good-looking man?" Xuanyuan Yao said lightly, "Can he be eaten as a meal?"
"Yes, you can eat soft rice." Xie Jin raised the corners of his lips and smiled seductively, "Little girls all like good-looking ones, just like men like beautiful women."
Xuanyuan Yao was suffocated and couldn't help but look at his face seriously.
Xie Jin was not restrained, and just let him look at him so generously, and even blinked in a very cooperative manner, which only made Xuanyuan Yao feel numb all over.
"Ah Jin is really a monster." Xuanyuan Yao sighed, "If you really want to eat soft rice, I think looking at the entire Dongling, there is probably only soft food for you to eat from Her Majesty the Queen."
After all, with the Xie family's family background, the average daughter's family cannot afford to raise such a noble "little pretty face".
Xie Jin frowned and thought for a moment, then said honestly: "I can't afford Her Majesty's soft rice."
Xuanyuan Yao raised his eyebrows: "You can take the initiative to stay humble and be small."
"Although I think it's interesting to listen to you talk, I feel that all of you can go out to tell stories and perform arts." Nan Xi sipped her tea and spoke slowly, "But smart people can't just be happy for the moment, they also have to think about it. Will there be any serious consequences if these words are spoken? After all, as far as I know, if someone is jealous, his relatives will not recognize him. Who is responsible if he is accidentally killed? "
Nan Xi truly admires these brave guys.
They dared to make these jokes in front of Rong Yu, and they were not worried that Rong Yu would just order people to pull them out and kill them with sticks, making the whole house happy.
"What your Highness said is so heartbreaking." Xie Jin sighed, "Who are you doing for? Aren't you discussing how to deal with those people with ulterior motives from all over the world who come here with the attitude of offering their beauties? What if, Your Majesty? If you can't even tell this, you will only unjustly kill loyal ministers and good generals, which will hurt the hearts of us loyal ministers. "
Nan Xi smiled lightly: "What's the use of telling me? It's not up to me to decide whether you can tell the difference."
After she finished speaking, she turned her eyes slightly and looked at the man who was sitting behind the desk reading the information. When her gaze caught her, Rong Yu raised his eyes and looked over. His tone was calm: "The Xie family's Xiaojiu has never experienced courtship in his whole life. If Xi'er is interested, he can experience the taste of the staff later. Quan should be used to establish authority before ascending the throne. "
Nan Xi laughed.
Xie Jin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Since my uncle knows that I am delicate and rich, do you really have the heart to use me to establish your power?"
Uncle?
As soon as this title came out, the hall suddenly fell into a brief silence.
Nan Xi looked at Rong Yu in surprise, and Xuanyuan Yao and Chu Nanyi also had surprised expressions. Obviously, no one expected that Xie Jin and Rong Yu actually had such an unknown relationship.
However, in this way, they finally understood why Xie Jin, the proud and noble eldest son of the Xie family, was so easily obedient to Rong Yu, the regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It turned out that there was another hidden story.
"I thought there were such coincidences in the world, and everyone had the same experience as me." Xuanyuan Yao touched his nose and muttered to himself, "It turns out that he was not tamed by the whip."
"Tamed by the whip?" Xie Jin raised his eyebrows, "So Ah Yao likes this?"
"Your head is fine." Xuanyuan Yao stood close to the desk. Hearing this, he picked up the memorial on the desk and threw it at him, "Take my move!"
Xie Jin did not dodge, watching the memorial flying towards him, calmly stretched out his hand to catch it, and said indifferently: "You dare to throw even the memorial, you are simply disrespectful to the emperor, you should be dragged out and beaten to death immediately."
"The Lord just said, let you taste the taste of the court caning first." Xuanyuan Yao turned around and sat down in the chair, snorting coldly, "The Lord has always handled official affairs impartially, and does not recognize relatives. Don't think that you can be domineering just because you are related."
Xie Jin raised his eyebrows: "Ah Yao is so cute, you say so nicely, why don't you say a few more words."
