Chapter 470 Who Does He Look Like?
"But I still want a daughter." Nan Xi's voice was a little hoarse, and the smile on the corners of her lips was weak but gentle, "Don't you feel lonely with a child?"
Rong Yu looked at her, his lips tightly pursed.
"I haven't had time to see my son yet." Nan Xi's voice was soft, "Who does he look like?"
Rong Yu hesitated for a moment: "More like me."
Such an ugly son can't be said to look like Xi'er.
"Really?" Nan Xi's eyes fell on Rong Yu's noble and handsome face, obviously very happy, "Then it must be a beautiful baby."
Rong Yu couldn't bear to tell her that her son was not beautiful at all.
After all, she gave birth to him with great effort.
"Ayu." Nan Xi said softly, "I want to sleep."
Rong Yu was startled, his eyes fell on her dry and peeling lips, his heart twisted, and he whispered: "Drink some water before going to sleep?"
Nan Xi hummed.
"Your Majesty." Yin Yue came over and brought a bowl of hot water. "This is the ginger sugar water that Miss Qingling just cooked. Drinking it is good for your health."
Nan Xi stood up, and Rong Yu quickly reached out to support her and let her lean on his arms.
After blowing the ginger sugar water to cool it down a little, Rong Yu tasted it first. It was sweet, with a little ginger and spicy taste, but it tasted okay.
He held the bowl and fed it to Nan Xi carefully. Nan Xi was really thirsty and drank the whole bowl of ginger sugar water almost without stopping. Her body was weak after giving birth and it was easy to sweat. After drinking this bowl of ginger sugar water, fine sweat oozes all over her body.
There were a few crystals on her white forehead. Yin Yue wiped them with a wrung soft towel and helped Nan Xi lie down again.
It was midnight after all this tossing and turning.
The palace servants brought the meal and respectfully invited the regent to eat.
Rong Yu couldn't eat a bite.
Yin Yue brought him a chair, and Rong Yu sat in front of the bed, holding Nan Xi's hand tightly, his eyes fell on her fair face, thinking about the look she had just given him, and he couldn't help but have some vague guesses in his heart.
"Rong Yu." Xuanyuan Xi came over and said lightly, "I'll guard here, you go to eat first."
"I'm not hungry." Rong Yu turned his head, "Mother-in-law, are you going back to the Princess's Mansion tonight, or staying in the palace?"
"I'll stay in the side hall tonight, and take care of the child with the wet nurse." Xuanyuan Xi said, "Have you chosen a name for the child?"
Rong Yu nodded: "Xi'er has prepared a few, but I haven't decided yet."
Xuanyuan Xi's expression was subtle: "This is your son, don't you have an idea about what name to give the child?"
Rong Yu really didn't have any idea: "Xi'er decides."
Okay.
Xuanyuan Xi decided to give up communicating with him and said calmly: "Yin Yue, your prince hasn't eaten all day, go and get him a bowl of porridge."
It's already midnight, it's not suitable to eat too much, eat some light white porridge to fill your stomach.
Yin Yue responded and did it.
Rong Yu didn't refuse his mother-in-law's kindness. He got up to wash up, ate a bowl of porridge, and continued to watch.
Nan Xi didn't sleep for a long time, and she was always dreaming in a daze.
The things that flashed in her dreams were all things that happened in her previous life.
When she first met Rong Huaijin, the stubborn and aloof boy left a deep impression on her.
In the future, they were inseparable.
He worked in the study, accompanied her in handling government affairs, and listened to her discussing government affairs with her staff.
Day after day, it gradually became a habit.
The first time he led the army to a battle and returned victorious, he jumped onto the high tower after returning, and knelt in front of her to ask her not to choose a royal husband for the time being.
The hot and suppressed emotions between the boy's eyebrows and eyes clearly entered her heart.
She accompanied her on the day of her ascension to the throne, accepting the court officials' kowtow, and from then on became a loyal and trusted shadow beside her, and the emotions in the boy's eyebrows became stronger.
The new emperor ascended the throne and filled the harem.
The ministers mentioned this matter in the court every day, but she sent them back because she was busy with government affairs and needed to put the people of the world first, because she had promised him that she would not choose a husband for the time being.
Although the word "temporarily" has no standard at all.
In the next few years, the throne was stable, and the boy who was always by the emperor's side grew into a strong and steady young man. As his power and ability became stronger, he gradually became a thorn in the eyes of many people.
He never expressed his feelings, but his emotions became more and more uncontrollable.
She never gave him a name and a promise. She felt that it was a humiliation to him. He was so aloof, how could he be confined to the harem and be an appendage dependent on a woman?
Later, the matter of choosing a husband could no longer be shirked, and she had four husbands in her harem.
On the day of choosing a husband, he was particularly silent. He was distracted frequently during the discussion in the imperial study, and his eyes and eyebrows always revealed a distressing loneliness.
Later, things gradually developed in an uncontrollable direction.
The imperial husbands represented the power of their respective families. Since they entered the palace, they naturally needed to share the power of politics from the empress. Whether they were willing or not, they needed to compete for favor like the concubines and get the opportunity to sleep with the empress.
They needed a true husband-wife relationship and urgently wanted the empress to give birth to a child with their bloodline. However, this seemingly self-evident thing had a huge obstacle - Rong Huaijin, the powerful minister who followed the empress closely, made their plans fail again and again.
This person became the common enemy of all families and imperial husbands.
They dealt with him at all costs, wanted to reduce his power, frame him, and they wanted to get rid of him again and again so that the empress would have the opportunity to favor the imperial husband. In order to make the plan more comprehensive, they even drugged her.
I still remember when he broke through the siege and rushed over at the critical moment, his cold and crazy look, like a Shura from hell, he killed people in the palace without scruples, and the guards who blocked the road fell under his sword one after another. Finally, under the angry eyes of the emperor, he unscrupulously took away Dan Shu, who was drugged and unconscious.
It was that time that they broke the taboo and indulged in the lust brought by the drug.
The next day, the impeachment memorials piled up like a mountain, and the court officials shouted fiercely at his presumption. Her Majesty's cold words quickly extinguished the anger of the officials: "Who was the person who plotted against me yesterday? I haven't checked it yet. Do you want me to send someone to investigate it thoroughly?"
The ministers were speechless.
It was one thing for the emperor's husbands to sleep with him, but drugging Her Majesty was enough to be regarded as murdering the monarch. If it was serious, it would not be too much to kill all nine clans.
A storm ended with each side giving in.
Two months later, she was pregnant.
I still remember his joyful expression at that time, which dispelled the gloomy color that had lingered between his eyebrows for a long time.
"Huai Jin." Dan Shu leaned on the couch, and her calm and cold face rarely showed a soft color. "I will make you the regent. You have a unique identity, and you don't need to compete with anyone for favor. You hold power above all other emperors. This is the greatest compensation I can give you."
Since she couldn't give him a unique status, she gave him a unique power and identity.

Author's words:
I planned to write a short story about the story of the previous life in the extra chapter, but later changed my mind. I thought it might be more natural to write it briefly. In fact, I don't quite understand why some people always get entangled in the matter of substitutes. This is originally a setting of past and present lives. The previous life is the cause, and this life is the result. The previous life was unrequited love, so there was the obsession later. From beginning to end, they were still the same two people as before, and they never changed in the middle. Just like the setting of rebirth, the heroine's temperament is different before and after rebirth. Is it a substitute? In simple terms, Rong Yu likes that person from beginning to end, no matter what she becomes. As for Nan Xi being the queen, this is what they owed as kings in their previous lives. Putting aside the feelings, it is also a responsibility to compensate the people, but Rong Yu took this responsibility alone. Nan Xi just needs to live a peaceful and comfortable life. What is there to worry about?
