Chapter 422 Come when You Want, Leave when You Want?

Xie Shoufu felt a headache.

Although old masters often say that a filial son emerges from a stick, he is a gentle scholar, and after becoming an extremely human minister, he learned to cultivate his moral character and never liked to use violence.

Even if the concubine in the mansion makes a mistake, he is too lazy to do it himself and just leaves it to the guards in the mansion to deal with it. The extent of the punishment is based on the Ninth Young Master's wishes. If the Ninth Young Master is too lazy to take care of it, then life or death will depend entirely on the person who made the mistake. The creation of man.

But he never touched this little Ah Jiu who was as precious as a pearl.

but……

Xie Shoufu put down his wine cup and pondered to himself, whether the whip caused more pain or the cane was more powerful?

After going back tonight, he might have a good talk with Xie Jin.

Mr. Xie, who was immersed in his thoughts, ignored the strange looks from around him. However, on this occasion tonight, the ministers all knew what was right and would not laugh openly because they wanted to be consistent with the outside world. The Prince of Northern Xinjiang and the Prime Minister of South Vietnam were more frustrated. Only then did I get happier.

As for when the son of Xie Shoufu's family became the first chief steward of the palace, well, let's ask him after the palace banquet is over.

After a moment of silence, Nan Xi smiled lightly: "The rules in Dongling and Northern Xinjiang are different. Who is qualified to participate in the palace banquet should not be decided by me and the regent? Is it possible that we need to listen to Prince Duanmu's opinion?"

This is well said.

The ministers were shocked and nodded in unison.

"Her Majesty the Queen is absolutely right." Prime Minister Lu said with a smile, "Her Majesty the Queen is the lord of Dongling, and the rules should be decided by her Majesty. Whoever your Majesty says is qualified will be qualified. If your Majesty thinks that anyone is not qualified, , then even the powerful clan members are not qualified."

The ministers were slightly awe-inspiring.

Thunder, rain, and dew are all your grace.

In just eight words, it describes the absolute supremacy and irreversibility of imperial power.

If the king favors someone, even a beggar on the street can enjoy glory; if the king dislikes someone, then the most respected minister will still fall into the abyss.

The life and death of ministers, the prosperity and decline of families, are all determined by the king's thoughts.

"It seems that Xiao Wang's trip to Dongling is not a wise decision. Her Majesty the Queen does not seem to be happy about guests coming from afar." Duanmu Yu's face was pale, his expression was obviously a little uneasy, and his voice was a little more unhappy, "So Xiao Wang plans to meet up and leave Dongling early tomorrow morning. I would like to say goodbye to Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Regent."

"I am a weak woman who has lived in the house for a long time. After all, I am a bit narrow-minded. In fact, I don't really want to embarrass Prince Duanmu." Nan Xi smiled faintly, saying that the livestock was harmless, "Northern Xinjiang and Dongling are thousands of miles apart. The road is long. There is no way to go back and forth." It’s extremely hard. Now that His Royal Highness is here, please live peacefully in Dongling and let me fulfill my duty as a landlord.”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Duanmu Yu's reply, he ordered: "Xie Jin, starting from tomorrow, you will be responsible for taking Prince Duanmu and Prime Minister Su around the imperial city, so that the two distinguished guests can appreciate the customs and customs of Dongling. Be sure to treat Prince Duanmu and Prime Minister Su Prime Minister, please be polite."

Xie Jin stood up and saluted: "I obey your order."

"Your Majesty's kindness, the little king appreciates it." Duanmu Yu said in a calm tone, "But because it is not easy to go back and forth, the delay on the way back and forth is long, so the little king should go back earlier. My father has been a little disobedient in the dragon body recently. The king has to go back to help his father solve problems and share government affairs, so I have no choice but to live up to your majesty’s kindness. I’m really sorry.”

"The same goes for me," Su Chang said, "South Vietnam has been busy with the affairs of the court recently, and spring is coming soon after the New Year. My emperor specifically asked me to return as soon as possible, and not to delay the important affairs of the government. Therefore, I am very grateful to your majesty for your stay. It’s a pity that I could only live up to His Majesty’s wishes. It’s really a shame.”

Really ashamed?

Nan Xi smiled casually. Dongling is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. It's easy to get in, but it's a little difficult to leave.

Especially after offending her.

She had long said that when she freed up time, she would take care of the two most popular envoys and let them know that things in this world are really not what they want.

However, she hasn't even started cleaning up yet, and they are leaving?

Where to go?

Nan Xi raised her eyes and smiled lightly: "Prince Duanmu and Prime Minister Su don't need to feel guilty. I am the one who should feel guilty."

Su Chang was surprised: "Your Majesty the Queen?"

"The high priest sent me a message yesterday, asking me to entertain the two distinguished guests well and not to neglect them, otherwise there will be disaster in Dongling." Nan Xi sighed, apologetically, "I was really busy the past two days. Because I am not feeling well, I did not entertain you well. Please forgive me, Prince Duanmu and Prime Minister Su."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers of Dongling looked shocked.

"There must be disaster? The words of the high priest are oracles. You must not neglect them. You should really entertain His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Su in the future."

"Oh, I have been negligent in the past two days. Please forgive me, Prince Duanmu. Prime Minister Su must not take it personally."

"Your Majesty, I think I can choose two beauties to serve Prince Duanmu..."

"Prince Duanmu keeps his integrity and does not approach women easily. Don't make bad ideas."

Duanmu Yu's expression changed slightly and he looked at Su Shang involuntarily.

Su Shang also frowned.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Su Chang was about to speak when Nan Xi said again: "For the sake of the stability of Dongling, I am willing to keep you two here for a while. Please don't refuse, and you must let me entertain you well." you."

Su Chang felt a little uneasy: "But Your Majesty——"

"This matter has been decided." Nan Xi made the final decision, "Xie Jin, if you dare to neglect them, I will let you go to the inner court and become a veritable general manager."

Xie Jin bowed: "I will definitely obey the order and never dare to violate the holy will."

"Prince Duanmu, Prime Minister Su." Nan Xi raised her hand to indicate, "Eat and drink to your heart's content, you're welcome."

Rong Yu was sitting on the chair, with a dignified and handsome face. In silence, he left today's scene completely to Nan Xi's control. He didn't say much during the whole process, but when he heard Nan Xi say "eat and drink to your heart's content", the corner of his mouth couldn't help but A smile broke out.

"Your Majesty the Queen." Situ Xuanjue stood up with a solemn expression and a cold tone, "My emperor specifically told the prince that he must rush back to Kyoto in northern Xinjiang before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. If there is any delay, His Royal Highness the prince must bear the emperor's responsibility. , so we have to leave Dongling early tomorrow morning. We can only accept His Majesty's kindness. "

Nan Xi was silent for a moment and said calmly: "But the high priest has said that I must keep you two and entertain them for a few days."
