Chapter 514 Chess Piece

Marriage arranged by the eldest princess?

Nan Xi thought of Lin Jia's selfish mother. Rong Yu abolished the emperor, imprisoned the empress dowager and the queen, but left the eldest princess who lived outside the palace unattended. She didn't expect that this woman had not given up until now and was still stirring up trouble to change the world.

Although the Ling family was not a powerful and prominent family, the two brothers of the Ling family were valued by the regent. One was in charge of the military power of the military camp, and the other was in charge of the imperial guards in the palace. They almost controlled more than half of the military power inside and outside the court.

The main reason why the emperor was imprisoned in Ganyang Palace and could not turn over, in addition to the order of the regent, was the ownership of the imperial guards. If he could get the support of the Ling family, then the emperor would regain power in no time.

Rong Shan took advantage of Rong Yu's absence in Da Zhou and couldn't wait to marry Lin Jia to Ling Ling in order to get the military support of the Ling family. But Ling Ling was already married, and Ling Fan knew the eldest princess's intentions very well. How could he do as she wished?

So Rong Shan set her sights on Mrs. Ling's nephew Huo Yang.

Mrs. Ling loved her nephew very much and almost agreed to his every request. After the princess expressed her willingness to marry, Mrs. Ling agreed to it and quickly decided on the marriage after discussing with the Huo family.

After listening to Ling Ling's brief account of the past, Nan Xi asked indifferently, "Did Lin Jia agree when she got married?"

"This..." Ling Ling hesitated for a moment, "I'm not sure."

The marriage of a daughter has always been decided by her mother, not to mention that Lin Jia's mother is the eldest princess of the royal family. As long as she decides on the marriage, it's useless for Lin Jia to oppose it.

So no one cares whether Lin Jia agrees or not.

The only person who raised an opinion in this marriage was Ling Fan.

The reason for his opposition was that he didn't want his mother to get involved in the princess's intentions, and he raised his opposition directly, but Mrs. Ling insisted on her own way. In order for her nephew to marry a princess of the royal family, she didn't care what the princess was thinking at all.

For this reason, the atmosphere in the Ling family was not very good for a whole month after Ling Fan returned from Dongling, but in the end, they failed to stop Lin Jia from marrying into the Huo family.

Nan Xi frowned: "Mrs. Ling is very close to the eldest princess?"

Ling Ling's heart sank, and he lowered his eyes and said: "Ling Fan and I have advised my mother to keep a distance from the eldest princess, but she has always been more willful and will not listen to us. However, I have also made it clear that I will never really regard the eldest princess as a relative just because Lin Jia and Huo Yang are married."

"Don't be nervous, I'm not blaming you." Nan Xi tilted her head to look at him and smiled lightly, "Rong Yu trusts you two brothers, so naturally he won't doubt this kind of thing. I just care about Lin Jia and want to know how she is doing now."

The eldest princess wants the military support of the Ling family, and Mrs. Ling wants her nephew to marry a noble princess.

Ling Ling and Ling Fan want to sever their relationship with the eldest princess's mansion. After all, even if there is no marriage relationship with Lin Jia, the relationship between the two Ling Ling brothers and Huo Yang is not good.

Although they are cousins, they have different personalities and dislike each other. They have always kept their distance from each other. The brothers of the Ling family will not stop their mother from loving her nephew, but they are also not interested in building a good relationship with the Huo family.

So if they can't stop this marriage, they won't stop it, but they will never get involved with the princess because of it.

Rong Yu has no reason to doubt anything at all.

"Princess Lin Jia is not in a good situation recently." Ling Ling said, "The mother-in-law is strong and the princess is also overbearing. Even if she wants to resist, she is powerless."

Nan Xi frowned slightly.

The most innocent person in this matter is Lin Jia.

She was used as a pawn by her mother to marry someone she doesn't like. After getting married, she had to endure her husband's philandering and excessive love. If her mother-in-law is also a strong and unreasonable person, you can imagine how difficult her life will be.

"At this hour, Prince Yun should still be in the Imperial Study discussing matters with the ministers." Ling Ling said respectfully, "Your Highness, are you going there directly?"

Rong Yu did not answer, but turned to look at Nan Xi: "Are you tired? Do you want to find a place to rest first?"

Nan Xi smiled faintly: "Since we need to rest, why don't we go back to the Regent's Palace directly?"

Rong Yu was silent, it seemed right.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that you have a Regent's Palace after living in the Dongling Palace for a year?" Nan Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile, "If that's the case, I will make fun of you."

Rong Yu smiled at the corners of his mouth, and his tone was calm and calm: "I originally wanted to say that I didn't forget, but in order to give Xi'er a chance to make fun of me, you can just assume that I forgot."

Ling Ling was secretly surprised.

Is this the cold and indifferent Regent?

Although I have long known that he loves his wife like his life, I have only seen him being strong and cold when he was overbearing and protecting his wife before, and have never seen him so gentle at this moment.

It's like a completely different person.

Who could believe that a man as cold and ruthless as King Yama could have such a warm and gentle side?

"Let's go see King Yun first." Nan Xi smiled faintly, "See how this little cutie is commanding the country."

Ling Ling was silent for a moment, knowing that Nan Xi had ascended the throne as the empress in Dongling, so the completely different demeanor she inadvertently showed at this time was also in line with the identity of a king.

In addition, Rong Yu's unconditional love and obedience to her, Ling Ling naturally couldn't treat her as a girl in the boudoir who didn't understand the world.

After Nan Xi finished speaking, he took the opportunity to briefly describe the situation in the court.

Since Prince Yun became the regent, although not every day has been smooth sailing, there are always some people who have made things difficult for him, but with the two military advisers Qi Lin and Ling Fan, and the assistance of several cabinet and ministers arranged by Rong Yu, as well as the sincere help of Prince Xian, Prince Yun has already held at least half of the power in his hands in this year.

However, Prince Rui, Prince Ning and Prince Qi have not given up, and are still looking for opportunities to win over court officials to prepare for the throne in the future. However, despite their ambitions, they have not been able to do anything in recent years.

The neutral ministers in the court acted according to Prince Yun's instructions while quietly watching and would not easily support any prince - the regent dared to abolish the emperor, so what if they supported him?

Without the support of the regent, who could sit on the throne by themselves?

The ministers knew what was going on. Unless they thought they were not going to die fast enough, no one would be stupid enough to stand in line at this time. Anyone with a discerning eye could see who the regent wanted to support. Would they be stupid if they didn't take advantage of the opportunity before King Yun ascended the throne to perform well?

The ministers knew what was going on, which was also one of the reasons why King Yun took power smoothly.

Written in the author's words, some people may not see it, so I will say it again now.

The plot of the male and female protagonists has come to an end. There will be no more exciting ups and downs in the final stage. It will continue to be flat for a while. If you want to see exciting things, wait for the extras.

Let me reveal the status of the new book after the Chinese New Year in advance. I know that many readers are not satisfied with the setting of the heroine in this article. They think she is not good at this or that. So in the next book, I will write a strong female protagonist, a real strong female protagonist. The plot will be better than this one, and the style is different. Look forward to it.
