Chapter 723 None of Them Are Good
Nan Xi only slept for a short while before she woke up. Po Wen and the wet nurses had already tidied up the palace, and the little prince was also coaxed to sleep.
When Rong Yu came back from Guangyang Palace, Nan Xi was talking to Yin Shuang.
"Yinshuang, you're not young anymore. Have you ever thought about getting married?"
"I don't want to get married." Yin Shuang's voice was always cold, but she still maintained a respectful attitude in front of Nan Xi, "There is no good man in the world."
Rong Yu couldn't help but pause in his footsteps as he listened.
"No one is good?" Nan Xi laughed. She was still weak just after giving birth, but now Yin Shuang's words made her smile. "You have scolded all the men in the world with just one sentence."
Yinshuang said nothing.
Nan Xi said: "Do you think the regent is not good either?"
"The Prince Regent is a good man." Yin Shuang said calmly, "But there is no such good man in the sky and there is no one like him in the world. He should belong to His Majesty alone."
Nan Xi smiled: "Prince Qi is not bad either."
"Prince Qi and General Chu are a perfect match."
The implication is that all the good men have their names, and the rest are not good men.
Nan Xi said: "Actually, I want to tell you that there are many good men in this world, and not all men are bad."
Yin Shuang was silent for a longer time this time, and after a while she said firmly: "Those people are not worthy of my subordinates."
Well?
Nan Xi did not expect to hear such a reason, and was about to say something when she heard Yinshuang continue: "Most men in the world like the daughter of Jiao Didi, and their subordinates are too delicate. If there is a quarrel in the future, the subordinates are afraid that something will happen to them." Be careful and beat him to death."
Her Majesty the Queen was silent, speechless for a moment.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to think about your Majesty." Yin Shuang said quickly, "My Majesty doesn't want to get married, let alone find a random man to marry. I will stay by your Majesty's side, protect you, and serve your Majesty all your life."
She spoke so sonorously and forcefully that one could only think that she was afraid of being noticed by some man.
Seeing her insistence, Nan Xi nodded slowly: "If you meet a man you are willing to marry in the future, you can tell me."
"Yes." Yin Shuang said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
But I'm afraid I will never meet such a man in this life. When Yinshuang resigned, she couldn't help but glance at her hand. Who can withstand her punch?
After walking out of the dormitory, he looked up and saw the regent. Yin Shuang knelt down and saluted, his face calm as usual.
Rong Yu said nothing and walked directly into the bedroom. Seeing that the regent had returned so early, the palace servants who were serving in the palace all bowed and left, which was very interesting.
Rong Yu walked to the bed in the inner hall and stared at Nan Xi's slightly pale but smiling face: "In a good mood?"
"It's okay." The lamp was already turned on in the palace. Nan Xi leaned against the bedside and looked at him softly, "Why are you back so early?"
Rong Yu sat down by the bed and held her hand: "I don't worry about you."
Just four words evoked all Nan Xi's heartache. She held his hand with her backhand and pointed at his slender fingers with her eyes closed, "I won't have children again."
When it comes to her safety, he always doesn't feel safe enough. Instead of continuing to worry about having another daughter, two sons are actually enough.
What Rong Yu needed was stability and peace of mind, and she really couldn't bear to make him fall into fear every time.
"Are you hungry?"
Nan Xi shook her head: "I just had something to eat before you came back, and I'm in good spirits now. Let's chat."
Rong Yu raised the corners of his lips slightly and hummed: "Okay."
"Chu Xiu and the others have been settled?"
"Just let the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Rites be responsible for the reception." Rong Yu said softly, "Chu Xiu is different from those thieves with ulterior motives in South Vietnam and Northern Xinjiang, so you don't need to take it too seriously."
Nan Xi nodded slowly: "Yes, Chu Xiu is more worry-free."
Rong Yu thought about what she just heard, and her voice became a little more playful: "You want to be a matchmaker again?"
Nan Xi raised her eyes to look at him and smiled gently: "I was a little bored when I woke up just now, so I chatted with Yin Shuang for a few words, but Yin Shuang's marriage is really not a good match."
Rong Yu hummed, "If she doesn't want to get married, let her do it. Most of the nuns in the palace are unmarried."
"Let her do it herself." Nan Xi said, "Marriage is something that requires mutual consent and mutual consent."
Rong Yu looked down at her palm and said nothing about the flood in Mianzhou, not wanting her to worry too much.
…
Six days after Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Chen left the imperial capital, the news about the flood in Mianzhou was presented, which terminated the vacation that the ministers had received due to the birth of Her Majesty the Queen. They did not go to court for six days, and this time the court was faced with such a situation. For big things, everyone has a serious expression.
Her Majesty the Queen is in her confinement, and the Regent is sitting alone in the court hall with a cold, distant expression and full of majesty, which invisibly increases the pressure on the ministers.
"It has been raining heavily in Mianzhou for half a month. The floods have broken down the river embankments. A large number of houses have been flooded. The people have become homeless and displaced. All the crops in the fields have been flooded. The losses are serious. Please make a decision to the Prince Regent!"
As soon as the words fell, the court suddenly fell into a solemn and heavy atmosphere.
Rong Yu sat in a chair, glanced at the ministers in the palace, and said in a calm and indifferent voice: "What do you think about this matter?"
"Reporting to the Prince Regent, the disaster in Mianzhou is serious. The top priority is to resettle the victims first, and the court will allocate funds for disaster relief——"
"Mianzhou is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Myanmar River. If the river bursts its banks, it should be a problem of the weak river banks." A minister of the Ministry of Revenue said, "However, when the emperor was in power three years ago, he had allocated money to repair the river banks. There has been no trouble in the past three years. How could a flood suddenly break out?"
"The most urgent task is not to investigate the breach of the banks, but to focus on disaster relief." Prime Minister Lu said with a frown, "When the news reached the imperial capital, it had been delayed on the road for more than ten days. During these ten days, did the local government resettle the people? The crops and farmland were destroyed. Do the people have surplus food? Even if there is some surplus, most of the food was wasted when the houses were washed away. So I think that I should immediately order the local government to allocate grain from the granary to solve the urgent problem."
"I think we should investigate the disaster first." Ye Shilang of the Ministry of Revenue said, "What if the court allocates disaster relief funds but finds that the local government has falsely reported or concealed the news?"
