Chapter 437: A Joke that Never Ends

However, in the final analysis, Nan Xi felt that the fusion of memories from past and present lives accounted for most of it.

However, those memories were a secret unique to her and Rong Yu, and it was not convenient to tell her mother.

"In the past, when I was in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I could confront the noble lady. Later, I became the regent princess, and I could rely on my status to make myself invincible. Rong Yu's love and tolerance gave me the greatest confidence, so it was inevitable that my temperament would change a little, and my words and deeds would also change accordingly."

Nan Xi smiled lightly, her voice calm and gentle, "Now that I have arrived in Dongling and become the empress above thousands of people, in addition to the increasingly powerful confidence, there are more responsibilities. Naturally, my behavior and words should be in line with the demeanor of the empress. I can't be as petty as before. Besides, even Rong Yu has become gentle because of the love between men and women. Isn't it normal for me, a little girl, to be smoothed out by love and become peaceful?"

Xuanyuan Xi was silent for a moment.

She admitted that she was convinced by Nan Xi's words, but she always felt that the reason was far more than that.

However, it didn't seem to matter what the real reason was. After all, Nan Xi looked happy at the moment. Her eyebrows and eyes were full of tranquility and tenderness. The look in Rong Yu's eyes when he looked at her made even the most ruthless people feel his deep love.

So she had nothing to worry about.

As for the current situation of the Queen, she didn't have to worry about it. With Rong Yu, the regent of the two countries by her side, there was nothing they couldn't handle.

Xuanyuan Xi picked up the teacup at hand, sipped the tea silently, and said thoughtfully: "Xi'er."

Nan Xi raised her eyes.

"There is something, I don't know if you have noticed." Xuanyuan Xi hesitated, "There seems to be something strange between Xie Jin and Prince Yao."

Nan Xi's heart skipped a beat for no reason: "Mother means..."

"I have heard of the reputation of the ninth son of the Xie family in the imperial capital. Although I don't know much about him, I think I have some vision in judging people." Xuanyuan Xi said, and added in time, "When I was young and ignorant, I misjudged your father. This is an exception."

Nan Xi laughed: "Yes, everyone is bound to make mistakes when they are young."

Xuanyuan Xi got back to the point: "Xie Jiu is a domineering person with a rebellious temperament. He always does things as he pleases. As he wished, there was one thing. He always kept aloof from people he had not known for a long time and would not deliberately get close to them. "

After a pause, "Once he really gets close to them, it usually means that the person is about to die."

Nan Xi was stunned, then shook her head and laughed: "Mother, you worry too much. Xie Jin will not harm Xuanyuan Yao."

"It is because I did not see his hostility towards Prince Yao that I felt it was strange." Xuanyuan Xi frowned slightly, "His attitude towards Yao'er is unusual."

Nan Xi was silent for a moment, and said: "They used to joke around a lot, regardless of meat or vegetables, and Rong Yu even made him kneel in court for this."

But this should be nothing.

"Some things become true when you are joking." Xuanyuan Xi said in a light tone, "Anyway, you should know the situation."

Nan Xi frowned: "Mother means that Prince Yao is... "

"I see that Yao is a heartless person, so he should not have any thoughts." Xuanyuan Xi said, "But it's hard to say about Xie Jin."

Nan Xi pondered for a moment and shook his head slowly: "No, Xie Jin is a romantic man with countless concubines in the backyard and often lingers in brothels. I have only heard that he flirts with girls, but I have never heard that he likes to share peaches."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Xi couldn't help but show some hesitation between his eyebrows.

Could it be that I really saw it wrong?

"Don't think too much, mother. Xie Jin appears to be a rebellious and self-willed person, but he is actually loyal. He just regards Prince Yao as a friend." Nan Xi smiled lightly, "And Prince Yao's temperament is different from that of the young masters of the imperial capital. He may be more compatible with Xie Jin. The two of them are used to joking."

Besides, Xie Jin is the legitimate son of the family, and Xuanyuan Yao is the only son of the King of Huainan.

Not to mention that the probability is very small, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, they have to consider the inheritance of the family's incense, the secular perspective and the feelings of the elders.

Although the children of noble families can enjoy more glory, fame and wealth than ordinary people, they are also subject to corresponding rules and constraints. They seem to do whatever they want, but they do whatever they want within the scope allowed by the rules. Regarding the continuation of the family's offspring, Prime Minister Xie will never let Xie Jin do whatever he wants.

What's more, even the most ordinary man has no courage to bear the reputation of a gay man and endure the criticism of the world.

Xuanyuan Xi nodded: "I hope I'm just being suspicious."

After all, if such a thing were to come true, it would definitely cause a sensation in the entire imperial capital. Prime Minister Xie is in a high position and has a great reputation, so he can't afford his son to do such a thing.

Xuanyuan Xi was persuaded by Nan Xi's words and gradually put his mind at ease. However, in the study room on the other side, Rong Yu was not so easy to fool.

"I originally had no intention of interfering in your emotional affairs, but the future of the Xie family and the inheritance of the descendants of the Huainan Palace cannot allow anything that shouldn't happen." Rong Yu's voice was cold, "You and Xuanyuan Yao usually bicker and play fun, and I can treat it as a joke, but such jokes will stop from today, and I don't want to hear similar jokes anymore."

Xie Jin was silent for a moment, and his tone was a little subtle: "My Lord, are you worried that I will do it for real?"

Rong Yu's voice was indifferent: "Things that shouldn't happen should be prevented in advance."

Xie Jin touched his nose and couldn't help but reflect on whether his recent words and deeds were really misunderstood, or did he really show a misunderstood interest in Xuanyuan Yao without realizing it?

However, thinking back now, his attitude towards Xuanyuan Yao was indeed a little unusual.

After all, there was no so-called close friend who could make him want to tease him. From the initial jokes to the habitual jokes, and then later...

joking around endlessly.

Xie Jin lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time before he said, "Do I need to keep a distance from Prince Yao?"

"You can decide the extent yourself." Rong Yu said, "I am just reminding you."

Xie Jin nodded: "Yes."

There is no need to deliberately keep a distance, just don't say anything that shouldn't be said.

Xie Jin knew it in his heart, but he couldn't help but refute in his heart, is the master too sensitive? He has been a man who has been lingering in the flowers for so many years. What kind of beauties have he not seen? How could he have any thoughts about a man who is also a man?

He often joked with the beauties in Qingfeng Pavilion. If they took it seriously every time, wouldn't the backyard be crowded with people?

Moreover, although he was used to being unscrupulous, he was not so foolish as to mess with the future of the Xie family.
