Chapter 496: Love Is the Best when Both Parties Are in Love
"It's okay if you have ideas." Nan Xi picked up a piece of iced yellow peach with a bamboo skewer and put it into her mouth, tasting the sweet melon fruit elegantly. "I fell in love with the regent before I returned to Dongling. Da Zhou's father tried his best to Objection, but it is useless to object. Firstly, no one dares to violate the high authority of the regent, and secondly, I feel that my own happiness is the most important.”
As soon as these words came out, all the ladies raised their heads.
Her Majesty the Queen lived in Dazhou before returning to Dongling. This is something they all know. However, what kind of status she has in Dazhou, the ladies have no way of knowing. At this time, they heard her take the initiative to talk about falling in love with the regent. For a moment, they couldn't hide their curiosity. They all looked attentively and listened carefully.
Nan Xi couldn't help but laugh when she saw this: "I'm not encouraging you to blindly pursue so-called love. If you are not sure whether you like someone, or whether you really like this person to the extent that you have to stay with him for the rest of your life, then just Don’t make impulsive decisions for so-called love, think twice before you act.”
Nan Xi is about the same age as them, but there is a difference in status. At first, noble ladies are a little constrained by their status. However, most women in the world like to listen to love stories, especially ladies who have grown up in boudoirs and are deeply bound by etiquette. In fact, deep down, I really yearn for pure love.
So at this time, Her Majesty the Queen's words really spoke to their hearts, instantly shortening the distance between the monarch and his ministers.
Lu Fangfei couldn't help but be curious: "Then if father disagrees, isn't Your Majesty worried about the gossip?"
"I'm relatively lucky. The regent was so powerful in the Great Zhou Dynasty that no one dared to be rude to me in front of him." Nan Xi smiled, "Although some people are indeed embarrassed and ridiculed in private, in my opinion Most of them are just out of jealousy or injustice. There is nothing to worry about. The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. "
Lu Fangfei's eyes showed longing: "The relationship between His Majesty and the Regent is really enviable."
"I have always felt that every girl with a beautiful and kind heart should have her own happiness." Nan Xi smiled lightly, "Compared to family marriages for profit, I appreciate women who dare to pursue their own happiness more."
After the words fell, the hall fell silent.
While the girls were silent, their expressions were slightly condensed, and they couldn't help but think about the profound meaning of Her Majesty the Queen's words.
Does she really think so, or is she using this reason to deliberately beat them and make them stop thinking about powerful marriages?
The reason why Chu Hongyi won the favor was because she had the courage to pursue her love?
However, how does your majesty know that although a noble girl from a noble family was born into a wealthy family and grew up in a splendid village, she was born with rich clothes and a noble status, which is enviable, but there are too many restrictions on etiquette and rules, and her parents ordered her to be a matchmaker. Words are rules and family interests are destiny. How easy is it for them to have a happy marriage?
"Your Majesty." Xuanyuan Jia frowned and couldn't help but said hesitantly, "What if the person you like doesn't like you?"
Nan Xi smiled lightly: "A melon that is forced is not sweet. Only when two people are in love will there be a beautiful and sweet result."
Xuanyuan Jia nodded and hummed slightly.
Just like Fang Lanyi before, it was clear that Prince Qi and Chu Hongyi loved each other, but she would be humiliating herself by forcing herself on someone who was not hers.
The people present are all smart girls. Even if they long for pure love, they will not blindly do impulsive things. The unpredictability of the emperor's heart has been verified again here, no matter what Nan Xi said today is innocent. Whether they want to share happiness freely or beat something, they will think carefully about it - just because this is the holy will.
Once anything is linked to the emperor, people will inevitably speculate several times.
Nan Xi just pretended not to know about this.
She is the empress now, no longer a simple little girl from an aristocratic family. Regardless of their temperament, these girls in front of them all represent their respective families. They are ministers in front of the emperor, but they may also become opponents of the royal family in the future.
Loyal ministers and traitorous ministers are sometimes just in a thought.
When aristocratic families prosper to a certain extent, they often lose their original intentions and develop disobedience. There are countless examples in history to verify that this is not unfounded.
The ruler and his ministers may not necessarily be his own people.
So she doesn't mind others speculating about the emperor, and she won't explain anything. Even though straightforward words can make people feel at ease, they are not necessary between monarchs and ministers.
Only once in a while can one be in awe of the unfathomable.
In her previous life, Danshu had personally experienced the consequences of the backlash from aristocratic families. The combined lethality of the aristocratic families was enough to shake the imperial power, so even if the regent had taken control of the overall situation, she would not let the aristocratic families grow without limit.
Pick up the tea cup and take a sip.
Today, the Queen invites the noble ladies to enjoy the flowers. After they return, they will tell their parents everything that happened in the palace and what the Queen said - this is the instinct that noble ladies carefully cultivated by aristocratic families should have. , everything starts from the interests of the family.
As for whether the heads of the major aristocratic families insist on consolidating their family status through marriage after hearing this, or whether they decide carefully on their daughter's marriage in order to reassure the queen, that is their own business.
"The lotus flowers all over the lake are in bloom." Nan Xi put down the tea cup and turned to look at the lotus lake. "This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful scenery."
The ladies turned around and nodded: "Yes, the lotus flowers in the palace are blooming the best."
"If you have time in the future, you can go into the palace and walk around." Nan Xi smiled lightly, "It would be a pity if no one appreciates such a beautiful scenery."
Everyone agreed, but they knew in their hearts that it was not so easy to enter the palace.
The Imperial Garden belongs to the emperor. How can they enter and leave the palace and the Imperial Garden at will without the Queen's summons?
However, since Her Majesty the Queen said so, they just listened and agreed. They couldn't refute it, right?
"Miss Lu is good at painting. It is said that her painting skills are unmatched." Xuanyuan Jia said softly, "Since Your Majesty thinks this lotus scene is beautiful, would you like to ask Miss Lu to paint a picture and let Your Majesty frame it and hang it in the palace?"
Nan Xi turned to look at Lu Fangfei with a smile on her face: "Miss Lu is good at painting?"
Lu Fangfei nodded: "I am not good at anything else. I like to paint any beautiful scenery I see. My painting skills are not superb, but they are barely acceptable."
"You are humble." Nan Xi smiled, "I have heard of the name of the Lu family's talented woman before, and I have admired her for a long time. Prime Minister Lu hid you well, so I have the opportunity to see you today."
He then ordered Yin Yue: "Prepare painting tools for Miss Lu."
"Yes."
