Chapter 357: Heartfelt Words

"If it were an ordinary prince seizing the throne, Chief Xie might stay out of the matter and not want to wade into troubled waters easily. But if they knew in advance who the next emperor would be, their attitude would be different. In addition, you and Mrs. Xie have this kind of relationship. Due to the blood relationship, the Xie family at least has an advantage that other families do not have. "

Rong Yu pursed her lips, and the gaze on her face was as soft as cotton wool, with a strange luster floating in her eyes.

"Xie Jin is a smart man, and you are a powerful regent. It only takes a few contacts to see whether you are worthy of his loyalty." Nan Xi leaned on his arm, her voice gentle, "Smart people weigh it in their hearts. After considering the pros and cons, you will naturally know how to choose. However, what you need is definitely not a minister who weighs the pros and cons, but a confidant who follows you loyally. Even if he does not say that he will die for you, he must be absolutely loyal and reliable. He must not be under any circumstances. Stab the knife in the back."

As for how to make a nobleman like Xie Jin willing to obey orders, it naturally depends on Rong Yu's own strength and means. As long as he uses the right method, there is nothing he can't do.

For Rong Yu, the emperor's mental skills and controlling his wrists were just one of his innate abilities that had long been integrated into his blood. Just like eating and training, it was something he had long been accustomed to and could learn without a teacher.

At least it's much easier than chasing a wife.

As for whether he is truly self-taught, Rong Yu himself knows it, and Nan Xi probably understands it in her heart.

However, her analysis still made Rong Yu's heart throb: "Your Highness is so intelligent and transparent that no one can match him."

Nan Xi raised her eyebrows: "Flatter me?"

Rong Yu's voice was low: "I speak from the bottom of my heart."

"You just told Xie Jin and the others that if any country proposes a marriage, let them handle it?" Nan Xi looked at Rong Yu with a smile, "Does this mean that every time a minister advises me to choose a husband? , just pull them out as a shield?”

Rong Yu was silent for a moment: "Do you think I am scheming?"

Nan Xi raised her lips and smiled: "I just like how thoughtful you are."

Xie Jin, Chu Nanyi, Xuanyuan Yao, Mo Lingan, and Xuanyuan Qi, who is as beautiful as a flower.

Any one of these young men who are pulled out is a handsome and distinguished noble man with an extraordinary bearing. He is as gentle as jade, has a noble temperament, and is exquisite and beautiful. Who dares to compete with them?

I'm afraid that all those who want to enter the palace will be overshadowed and ashamed in front of these few people.

Well, the scheming is indeed deep enough.

Rong Yu raised the corner of his lips and turned to look out the window: "The weather is nice today, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Nan Xi thought for a while and nodded: "Okay."

Getting up from the couch, Yinyue brought a cloak and wrapped it around her. Rong Yu folded it carefully for her before holding her hand and walking out of the palace.

The sun is shining and the years are quiet.

For those who are full of heart, in their free time, they can hold the hand of their beloved and walk along the garden paths, feeling the warmth of the sun, the freshness of the air, looking at the vast blue sky, and turning their heads to see his features.

Probably, this is the happiness that most people yearn for.

Nan Xi's steps were gentle and her eyes were calm and soft.

The country, the country, the people in the world, power and fame, the rise and fall of the family... seemed to have always been far away from her. Even though the enthronement ceremony was right in front of her, she seemed not to have entered such a role at all.

There was an omnipotent person beside her who thought everything out for her and solved every aspect perfectly. She didn't have to worry about it at all. Even though he was always looking at her with unusually bright eyes and always emphasizing on his lips The country is her country, and she is the destined Queen of Dongling, but Nan Xi knows that these are just Rong Yu's obsessions.

She knew that she was just a boudoir girl.

Her mind is not that big, and her vision is not that broad.

The only people she really cares about are her closest relatives, her mother, Rong Yu, and the child in her belly.

However, Nan Xi also knew that Rong Yu was always serious about asking her to be the queen, otherwise he would not have started carefully planning so many years ago.

So whether she had this ambition or not, even if it was just because he had put so much effort into laying out such a big game early, she would do her best to fulfill his wish.

"I haven't seen my mother recently." Nan Xi asked, "Is she very busy after she comes back?"

"It's quite busy. Most of the time, I sit down with the ladies from the aristocratic family to drink tea and chat." Rong Yu smiled lightly, "Mother-in-law is now the most popular person in the entire imperial capital. All the ladies from the aristocratic family know what to do. Make a good relationship with her, and invite her to enjoy flowers today, and invite her to the theater tomorrow, and someone from the eldest princess’s mansion will send you some rare treasures every day to relieve your boredom. "

When Nan Xi heard this, she was silent for a while: "What's the point of trying to please my mother? My mother doesn't know how to whisper in my ears, so why not come directly to please me?"

Rong Yu raised her lips: "Do you want them to please you?"

Nan Xi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Of course not, that's what I said."

Rong Yu hummed: "Mother-in-law has been away from Dongling for more than ten years. She has become alienated from all her previous acquaintances, and even strangers to the younger generation of nobles and ladies. It is quite nice to have frequent contact with people during this period." good."

Nan Xi was silent for a moment: "When I become the queen, should my mother be granted the title of eldest princess?"

"You can ask your mother-in-law for her opinion." Rong Yu said, "But I don't think she cares about this."

"Yeah." Nan Xi nodded in agreement, "If she cared about this, she wouldn't have lived in Da Zhou for so many years incognito, and had to endure my father's heartless betrayal, and that arrogant concubine..."

At this point, her eyebrows moved slightly and she said calmly: "Prince Yun oversees the country, and I don't know what's going on with my absent father."

"What do you want him to do?"

Nan Xi looked at the sky, her voice was calm and calm: "I don't want anything to happen to him. Now my mother and I have nothing to do with him. We no longer have any feelings, and naturally there is no resentment. There is no need to be with him." It’s a waste of time.”

However, Nan Xi knew better than anyone else that Nan Xingzhi, who had lost the emperor's favor, trust and protection, had lost his reputation.

Everyone in the civil and military dynasties of the Great Zhou Dynasty knew that he was in decline. The regent did not want to see him. The upright officials looked down on his ungrateful behavior of spoiling his concubine and killing his wife. They felt that he had brought his own fate. Ministers who were good at observing the trend also knew that he had lost power and would Gradually distance yourself from him.

Unless he changes his mind and becomes a good official and a good person in the future, and maybe retains the last bit of face, there will be no place for him in the court where King Yun is in power.

However, what are the chances that a person like him can change his mind and become a good person?
