Chapter 267 God-Like Teammates
Ning Xi's preference did not avoid the emperor, but his frankness made the emperor more satisfied.
This is why Jing Ruofeng is a talented and wise emperor. If he were replaced by a narrow-minded or suspicious emperor, Ning Xi would be seeking death by doing this.
It also shows that Ning Xi sees people very accurately, is good at grasping people's hearts, and is even better at seizing the opportunity. Every time, he seems to hit the right spot by accident.
"I think that the third prince has made great achievements in the court in the past two years, and he has just participated in the treatment of floods. He has not yet fully started. I think it will be okay to leave for a while." The other two officials immediately said through Ning Xi's words.
Ning Xi raised her eyebrows: "It is indeed okay for the third prince to leave for a while, but is his status worthy of it?"
The two ministers were choked by Ning Xi and were speechless, not to mention that there was a trap in this sentence.
If they said that the third prince was more capable than the prince, that would make the emperor jealous and displeased. However, if they said that the third prince's status was not as good as that of the prince, it would mean that the third prince was not qualified to go, so both of them chose to remain silent.
They found that since Prince Ning stopped chasing Young Master Jing, he had become very difficult to deal with.
Ever since she started to make her presence felt in the court or at palace banquets, officials from the eldest prince and the third prince's group have been dismissed one after another. It seems like a coincidence, but it has to be guarded against.
The more the two of them thought about it, the more they became wary of Ning Xi.
"I also think it would be more appropriate for the prince to go." Jing Ruoyang said casually at this time.
Jing Ruofeng nodded and said, "Then let the prince accompany you this time."
"Yes!" Everyone present could only agree no matter what they thought.
"Your Majesty, the prince is far away in the south. We are leaving in two days. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up." Zuo Xiang stepped forward and said.
Ning Xi also spoke, "This is not a problem. Just a few days ago, I sent someone to drive a flying car to deliver some information on flood control to the prince. I sent a message and asked them to take the prince back immediately. It only takes a flying car from the south to Kyoto. It takes a day to get there.”
She sent Ning San and two people to give the prince a plan to control the flood. It was fair and aboveboard. The emperor must also know the news, so there was no need to hide it.
Zuo Xiang choked and had nothing to say. He found that Ning Xi, a playboy, looked cynical and indifferent, but to the prince, he was definitely a god-like teammate and a great help.
Jing Ruofeng said in a funny voice: "You brat, I just protected your cousin, and now I'm protecting your cousin again."
"Of course, they are all my relatives. If I don't protect them, who will I protect?" Ning Xi nodded confidently.
Then the conversation changed, and he looked at the emperor with admiration and said, "The emperor and the queen mother are also my relatives. Although I am not able to protect you, my heart has always been towards you."
This sentence made Jing Ruofeng very happy, "Haha, then I look forward to the day when I will be protected by you, Xi'er."
"If such a day comes, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Ning Xi continued with a playful smile: "But I think this opportunity is unlikely. Your Majesty, you are so powerful and wise. I want to protect you but I am far behind you, so I must protect you more."
"Skinny monkey, please say nice things to me!" Jing Ruofeng rolled his eyes at her with a smile on his face. It could be seen from his expression that Ning Xi's words pleased him again, and even the gloomy mood caused by the Dingguo Duke's incident was dispelled. A lot.
Ning Xi's emphasis on love and justice reminded the emperor of that proud and flamboyant woman who also valued love and justice as brightly as the sun. His heart, which had long been as hard as iron, softened a bit.
The people present couldn't help but look at Ning Xi with special eyes again. This dandy prince was really good at coaxing people. No wonder the emperor and the queen mother liked and protected him so much.
