Chapter 482 Jealousy

This matter was quickly forgotten.

Nan Xi was not willing to spend time thinking too much about insignificant people.

"I haven't seen General Chu for a long time." Nan Xi turned his head and looked out the window. The sky was high and the sun was bright. It was a good day for flower viewing. "Tell General Chu, Miss Jia from Prince Jing's Mansion, and Miss Dan from Prince Huai's Mansion to come to the palace after noon. I'm a little bored these days and want to talk to a few people."

Yin Yue said, "Yes."

Nan Xi gave the order and didn't say anything more. He picked up the file he had placed on the rosewood table and flipped through it casually to pass the time.

Although the court seemed calm at the moment, there was actually a turbulent undercurrent hidden under the calm surface.

Nan Xi had just ascended the throne and had only attended court a few times. In the eyes of outsiders, all power was in the hands of the regent. The current spring examination was to select new nobles in the court, and it was also a rare opportunity for the sons of major families.

This imperial examination is limited to the children of the imperial capital, so the number of people is not large. Compared with the spring examinations in previous years, the competition is not too fierce. As long as you get outstanding results in this spring examination and have the opportunity to enter the palace examination, it is equivalent to having one foot in the official career.

The new noble children who enter the court at the beginning of the new emperor's accession to the throne obviously have a better chance of becoming the most important ministers in front of His Majesty. In the future, if they gain His Majesty's trust, the chance of being promoted and reused will also be greatly increased.

In addition, there is the empress's harem.

Nan Xi knows very well that marrying into the royal family has always been the biggest shortcut to family glory. No one will give up this opportunity easily. No matter how strong and overbearing the regent is, he can't make the major families completely stop thinking about it.

However, he has made thorough preparations in this life, so he doesn't have to worry about whether the ministers can stop thinking about it.

Nan Xi held his cheek, thinking of the power that Rong Yu has accumulated step by step over the years, and the unimaginable hardship during this period, his heart was sour and distressed.

"What are you thinking about, Xi'er?"

The clear air with a hint of ink lingered in her nose, and Nan Xi was quickly embraced in a strong and warm embrace. She came back to her senses and tilted her head to look at the man who had accompanied her in her past and present lives, "Are you done?"

"Not yet." Rong Yu buried his head in her neck, sniffing her fragrance, "There are a lot of things to do these two days, and the unfinished things will be done after lunch."

Nan Xi was silent for a moment: "Three helpers are missing all of a sudden, it's really busy."

Xie Jin, Xuanyuan Hua, and Xuanyuan Chen all went to take the exam. There were three fewer people in the imperial study who could help share government affairs. It would be strange if it wasn't busy.

Rong Yu hummed: "It's okay. Although there are many things, they are not urgent. Don't worry."

"I have rested enough these days." Nan Xi smiled, "I will go to court with you tomorrow."

Rong Yu was silent when he heard this: "I don't want you to be too tired."

"What's the hardship?" Nan Xi said in a light tone, "Since you sit in this position, it is impossible to just enjoy yourself."

Rong Yu held her tighter in his arms: "Xi'er."

"Hmm?"

"Kiss me."

Nan Xi tilted her head to look at him, gently broke free from his arms, then turned around, stretched out her hand to hook his chin, and kissed him on the lips very straightforwardly.

A smile overflowed from the corners of Rong Yu's mouth. Obviously, he didn't mind being teased as a decent man at this time. Instead, he whispered: "These days, I often feel the long-lost majesty of the emperor, which makes me dare not speak loudly."

Nan Xi was slightly stunned, then raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Are you trying to please me on purpose?"

Don't dare to speak loudly?

If he dares to say it, will others dare to listen?

Rong Yu smiled softly: "To please His Majesty is my duty as a husband."

Nan Xi has never been a good flirter in her past and present lives, but this man is indifferent and taciturn outside, but when he comes to her, he is like... a loyal dog.

This word flashed through Nan Xi's mind, and she was stunned for a moment, then sighed.

Well, this is a loyal dog who knows how to act like a spoiled child.

It is easy to evoke Nan Xi's tenderness and her heartache.

"Mrs. Fang entered the palace today." Nan Xi said, "Probably wanting me to give her daughter some rewards."

Rong Yu's expression was slightly indifferent: "The Prince of Wei's Mansion has been very close to the Mo family recently."

Mo family?

Nan Xi smiled lightly: "The Mo family has been neglected recently, and it is not surprising that they have some other ideas, but if they really want to take the Prince of Wei's Mansion, it would be too stupid."

"It's not that they want to take the boat." Rong Yu's voice was calm, "They should just want to remind this king of their existence."

Nan Xi nodded.

Being one of the four great families, the head of the Mo family should not be someone who cannot see the situation clearly. Being ignored for a while is nothing. If you really do something you shouldn't do, you will have no room for regret.

"The weather has been good these two days." Nan Xi smiled lightly, "After finishing the government affairs, let's go out of the palace to take a walk in the evening."

Rong Yu thought for a while: "Okay, you've been bored lately."

"I don't feel bored at all." Nan Xi smiled, "I'm a person who can stay at home, and I have Hao'er to accompany me, so I can't say I'm bored. I just want to go out with you alone and understand the people's sentiments."

Go out alone?

Rong Yu smiled, and he was undoubtedly happy to hear this, but he couldn't help saying: "If you meet any beautiful boys outside the palace, your majesty is not allowed to look at them more."

Nan Xi's expression was strange for a moment, and then she stretched out her hand to pinch his face: "I know, jealous."

Is she that kind of person?

In two lives, what kind of beautiful boys have you not seen?

Bring the beautiful boy back as soon as you leave the palace?

It's a pity that he could say it.

Rong Yu held her in his arms, his heart was full of throbbing and joy. He was immersed in such natural tenderness at this moment and didn't want to come out. He even hoped that time could stagnate and stay at this moment forever.

Although this is an unrealistic idea.

At noon, Yin Yue brought the palace servants to prepare lunch and invited the two masters to have dinner.

Rong Yu was not a person who liked pomp and circumstance. Compared with being served by palace servants, he preferred the atmosphere of having a meal alone with Nan Xi, and even enjoyed the process of feeding his wife, and didn't want to be disturbed by others.

So the palace servants were dismissed after preparing the meal, and even Yin Yue retreated tactfully.

This habit will probably continue.

Until the two masters finished their meal, Yin Yue entered the hall again and ordered the tea maid to brew tea and serve it.

After the meal, Rong Yu had to go to the imperial study to deal with unfinished government affairs. Chu Hongyi happened to ask for a meeting, so he had to temporarily suppress his reluctance, turned around and left, and secretly looked forward to the time when he and Nan Xi would be alone outside the palace in the evening.

Chu Hongyi entered the palace to pay her respects. She hadn't seen him for two months, and her belly was obviously bulging. It should be more than five months.

Nan Xi ordered someone to give her a seat.
