Chapter 443: A Fight

Rong Yu never thought that the court meeting would not be lively.

If possible, he would rather stay in the Dazheng Palace with Nan Xi and not see anyone.

However, the emperor had always established his authority after ascending the throne, and in order to leave a good impression on the court officials, even the most unreliable emperor would work hard for a period of time to avoid leaving a handle for the censors to impeach him - the censors who always claimed to be upright, outspoken and dignified dared to impeach the emperor.

Therefore, Nan Xi, the empress who has never appeared since she ascended the throne, is really a rare existence in all dynasties. However, on the one hand, she is pregnant, and needs to take care of the baby after the heavy coronation ceremony, which is excusable; on the other hand, she has a strong and cold regent beside her, who gave everyone an impression that he is not easy to mess with as soon as he stepped into the Dongling Palace. In addition, the caning of the prince of Huainan in the military camp, the attitude of several young masters of noble families at the flower viewing banquet, and the decision to grant marriage to the prince of Jing and Chu Hongyi after ascending the throne, and finally directly sent the former crown prince Xuanyuan Yan to the prison of the Ministry of Justice...

All these things, one by one, are enough to make the ministers dispel all their dissatisfaction in their hearts. Now they don’t even have time to guess the emperor’s thoughts, so how dare they express their dissatisfaction casually?

The first day of the new year passed in a relatively warm and peaceful atmosphere. In the evening, the palace ridges, the ground, and the treetops were covered with a thin layer of holy white snow, as if the entire palace was wrapped in a layer of pure white. Nan Xi sat in front of the window drinking tea. The palace was warm and comfortable, and she admired the silver-clad first day of the new year.

Qingyang was brought in by Yin Yue, twisting his ears. He begged for mercy as he walked, and he had lost the arrogance he had before, wanting to hug people left and right.

"Yinyue, let go! You are too rude... You are too rude, Yinyue..." Qingyang lowered his body and reached out to grab Yinyue's presumptuous hand, "Sister, aunt, you are my aunt, isn't that enough? I was just joking. I can't even afford to marry you, how dare I take the ice cube of Yinshuang? Spare me, sister Yinyue..."

The two maids and many maids in the hall looked at him in astonishment, and then they all covered their mouths and laughed, watching the Qingyang guards who were usually serious and solemn look so cowardly, and they found it particularly interesting.

Nan Xi sat in front of the window, watching Yin Yue drag Qing Yang from outside the palace to inside. The corners of her mouth could not help but rise, and she teased with interest: "Qing Yang, didn't you say you could do it? Why can't you do it now?"

Qing Yang pulled Yin Yue's hand down with difficulty, and his ears were already red: "Your Majesty, I was wrong. It's all my fault for being mean. I shouldn't joke about marriage. Your Majesty, please ask Aunt Yin Yue to forgive me this time."

Yin Yue snorted coldly.

"I was really wrong." Qing Yang looked at her eagerly, and his voice lowered a few degrees. "In fact, I have always liked you secretly, especially the way you usually confront me. It's so cute."

Yin Yue's pretty face blushed: "Get lost."

"Okay, I'll get lost now." Qing Yang ran outside the palace and stood there, not caring that it was snowing outside and it was very cold.

Well, this little snowy weather is nothing to him. It's better than being pulled by the ears in public. It's cold, but at least it doesn't lose face.

Nan Xi ignored Qingyang who had escaped, and looked at Yinyue jokingly: "We chased him for an hour, what were you doing?"

Yinyue tidied her slightly messy hair and replied respectfully: "I fought with him."

Nan Xi laughed: "Fought for an hour?"

"A duel between masters can last for three days and three nights without a clear winner." Yinyue said honestly, "My martial arts are comparable to Qingyang's, so it's normal to fight for an hour."

If she wasn't afraid of delaying things and being blamed by the prince, she would have wanted to press that guy into the snow and make him into a snow sculpture, so that everyone in the palace could appreciate his grace.

Nan Xi was silent for a moment: "With this little ability, you dare to enjoy the blessing of having many wives?"

"That's right." Yin Yue snorted, "You don't know your own limits."

Nan Xi couldn't help laughing again: "Take care of him in the future. If he dares to treat you badly, tell me and I'll support you."

Yin Yue smiled with her head down: "Yes, I will definitely not let him bully me."

Qing Yang, who was standing outside the palace, shuddered suddenly.

Yin Shuang, who was standing at the palace door, glanced at him, snorted coldly, and a gloating light flashed in her eyes.

...

It snowed heavily in the middle of the night, and it got heavier at night. The thin layer turned into a thick layer. When I woke up the next morning, it was white outside the window.

"This is the real snow." Nan Xi stood in front of the window and said on a whim, "Yin Yue, I should let Qing Yang build sixteen snowmen for you as a betrothal gift, unique."

Yin Yue yawned with her hands covering her mouth.

Since I learned yesterday that I was going to marry Qingyang, I didn't sleep much the whole night.

I'm not really excited, but I just couldn't sleep. I kept imagining how they would live after getting married. The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sleep. The more I couldn't sleep, the more I kept thinking about it, which directly led to two circles of shadows under my eyes when I got up this morning.

When Nan Xi said this, she turned her head and glanced at her. She saw something strange: "What's wrong? Didn't sleep well last night?"

Yin Yue sighed, her tone a little depressed: "It's strange, although I'm not a little girl who gets shy when I hear about getting married, but I didn't sleep all night last night."

Didn't sleep all night?

Nan Xi was silent for a moment, raised her eyebrows and said: "Are you excited or nervous?"

"There's no emotional change." Yin Yue frowned, "I just kept thinking about this and that in my mind, thinking about all kinds of things, and then I couldn't sleep at all."

Nan Xi said: "How about you go to sleep again?"

"No need." Yinyue shook her head quickly, "I can't sleep, and staying up all night is nothing to my subordinates. What used to happen often was that my face didn't look good, but there was nothing else. Your Majesty, don't worry. "

Nan Xi hummed and said, "If you feel sleepy, just go to bed by yourself. I don't have anything important to do here for the time being, and there are enough people in the palace."

Yinyue responded: "I understand."

"When I woke up in the morning and saw the vast white outside, my mood was completely different." Nan Xi spoke in a brisk tone and sat down on the brocade couch by the window, "Is Rong Yu in the study at the moment?"

"Yes." Yinyue nodded and placed the bird's nest porridge brought by the palace maid on the tables in front of Nan Xi, "Mr. Hua from Prince Jing's Mansion submitted a document early in the morning. After reading it, the prince summoned several ministers into the study to discuss the matter. , been there for more than half an hour.”

Nan Xi frowned: "Something happened?"

"My subordinates don't know." Yinyue shook her head: "Your Majesty didn't say anything, and your subordinates didn't dare to ask. Before I went out, Your Majesty just asked Your Majesty to sleep well and not to allow anyone to disturb you."

Nan Xi hummed and didn't think more about it.

Anyway, no matter what happens, Rong Yu has a solution, and he will tell her later when the discussion is over.

Nan Xi ate a bowl of bird's nest porridge and stopped eating anything else. They waited for Rong Yu to come back from discussing the matter and have breakfast together.
