Chapter 518: Teach a Man to Fish

King Yun was completely speechless.

The moment Rong Yu and Nan Xi stepped out of the palace gate, most of the powerful officials in the imperial capital knew the news of his return.

All the major families were well-informed. If Rong Yu hadn't deliberately concealed his whereabouts, everyone would have known about it before he set foot in the imperial city. However, no matter how powerful other people were, they couldn't resist Rong Yu's wishes. People know.

Now that he appeared in the palace, he did not tell the ministers who had seen him not to make any news. It was normal for the news to spread quickly. Not long after returning to the palace, someone came to see him.

Rong Yu didn't want to see anyone, he just wanted to have a good sleep with Nan Xi.

The trim white fingers habitually entangled Nan Xi's hair. The freshly bathed hair still had a pleasant fragrance on it, making people unable to help but feel nostalgic.

Rong Yu's voice was low: "Are you still used to returning to the palace?"

"Get used to it." Nan Xi leaned on the bedside, with a smile on her lips and a gentle look on her eyebrows. "There's nothing I'm not used to in a place with you, even if it's a thatched hut."

These words of love penetrated Rong Yu's vitals, leaving him helpless and his heart felt soft and moved.

Even though Nan Xi never hesitated to say coaxing words to him, Rong Yu could be moved and delighted every time, making her uncontrollably fermented and emotionally overflowing.

Rong Yu pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, then whispered: "When we go to Cangyun Mountain later, we will find a beautiful place in the mountains, build a thatched house, and occasionally stay there for two days to enjoy the sunrise and sunset. , you can also open up a piece of land in front of and behind the house to grow some fruits and vegetables to be self-sufficient.”

"Isn't there a ready-made palace on Cangyun Mountain?" Nan Xi tilted her head and raised her eyebrows in a subtle way, "Do you want to experience the civilian life of men farming and women weaving?"

Rong Yu chuckled: "Does Xi'er like that kind of lifestyle?"

Nan Xi thought for a while, then slowly shook her head and sighed: "My hands may not be able to hold a hoe."

"It doesn't matter. There are many masters on the mountain, so there is no need for Xi'er to do it by herself." Rong Yu said, "I can just watch the sunrise and sunset with Xi'er every day. Cangyun Mountain has a beautiful scenery. We can live on the mountain for a few months every year. The rest of the time Travel around the world, go to places with beautiful scenery, and experience the national characteristics of various countries and places. Go to the warm south in winter and stay in the mountains to escape the heat in summer. Let the subordinates of Jiuxiao Pavilion pay attention to the movements of all parties. There’s so much fun to see, so let’s go ahead and see the fun…”

"Rong Yu." Nan Xi sighed softly, "You are stern and self-possessed in front of King Yun, and the pressure of the regent is scary. From now on, you will definitely teach Hao'er to be both strict and enlightened, with the country, the country, and the country as your top priority. But if King Yun and Hao'er know that you are happily planning a leisurely and secluded life in the future, so I wonder what they will think."

Rong Yu looked at her quietly: "Xi'er."

Nan Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Huh?"

"Don't undermine me." Rong Yu leaned over and kissed her, his voice was low and sweet, "There must be someone to pass on the country and the country. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. I have taught them both fish and fishing. It not only gave them a ready-made empire, so that they did not have to compete for heirlooms by fighting for heirs, but also clearly taught them the way to be kings, except that they were not told step by step what the emperor should do every day, what to eat, what to wear, and when to sleep. ...Although this is for the sake of our future happy life, I have done everything I need to do to at least ensure that I will not leave any hidden dangers to Dazhou and Dongling Jiangshan while I am alive."

Nan Xi was silent for a moment, then raised her hand to caress his noble eyebrows, her eyes fell on his face, and she couldn't help but kiss his lips, her voice was extremely gentle: "You are the best."

This sentence definitely has a special magic.

Before Rong Yu had time to be happy about her initiative to kiss him, he heard this compliment in his ears, and his handsome face suddenly warmed up, and a rare hint of shyness appeared: "Xi'er is a great compliment, and I am ashamed of my husband to deserve it."

Nan Xi laughed and said, "You deserve the most praise and praise."

Hearing this, Rong Yu turned over neatly and pushed her down, "In that case, Xi'er should express it in another way."

"In what way?"

"Xi'er, don't act stupid."

"I'm stupid to begin with."

"Xi'er is not stupid." Rong Yu breathed into her ear, "You are the smartest woman in the world."

"Yeah?"

In the beautiful moment of spring, Rong Yu was of course unwilling to respond to this question and directly put his thoughts into action.

In her busy schedule, Nan Xi took the time to speak: "Rong...Rong Yu..."

"Um?"

"Tonight...tonight I'm going to see...well, see Lin Jia..."

"There's no rush." ​​Rong Yu's voice was deep, "You don't have time to go there tonight."

Nan Xi's voice paused, "I'm free."

"No time." Rong Yu insisted, "We'll discuss her matters tomorrow."

Nan Xi seemed to want to say something more, but suddenly she took a heavy breath, holding half of her breath in her lungs. It took a long time to catch her breath, and then she said nothing more. Only some indescribable sounds echoed in the inner hall without stopping for a long time.

…

The peaceful imperial capital quietly exploded due to Rong Yu's sudden return.

Especially after learning that Rong Yu had ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the enthronement ceremony and decided to let King Yun ascend the throne, several royal palaces could no longer sit still and sent people out to find out the news. They frequently visited officials and secretly discussed countermeasures. But they found that the fate was decided and the situation could not be reversed.

"Is it really determined that King Yun will ascend the throne?"

"It's true. As soon as the regent returned to the palace, he asked the Ministry of Rites to tailor a dragon robe for Prince Yun, and picked an auspicious day next month to hold the coronation ceremony."

"The regent's mind is indeed unpredictable."

After Rong Chuyun was deposed, many people thought that Rong Yu would ascend the throne himself. Who would have thought that one year after leaving the Great Zhou, he would directly help Prince Yun ascend the throne?

A powerless prince should have accomplished nothing and be an idle prince for life. However, Rong Yu gave him a year to grow his wings and accumulate power, learn to handle government affairs, and ascended the throne directly a year later, catching everyone off guard.

It also left the three princes powerless to fight back.

The King of Qi and the King of Rui secretly hated him, but they had no choice but to continue waiting for an opportunity.

In addition to the three palaces, the one that reacted most to the sudden return of the Regent and his wife was the former Nan Xiang Mansion, now the residence of Lord Nan Xian - it was idle, but it still had a rank, so some people privately nicknamed him "Lord Nan Xian".

Rong Yu and Nan Xi left the Great Zhou for a year, and Nan Xingzhi's mansion was in decline for a year. In addition to maintaining the rank and the meager salary that a fourth-rank official should have, the Nan Mansion had no other income.

But the Nan family had a large population, and that little salary was not enough to cover even the most basic daily expenses. Even with the gold and silver jewelry that Nan Jiao had previously given herself to the Prince of Northern Frontier to barely make ends meet, the life of the Nan Mansion was extremely difficult.
