Chapter 165: A Show of Strength without Respect

"I guessed you would ask me." Ye Qingcheng smiled faintly, "I really don't know the regent of Zhou Dynasty, and I have never seen him before, but I have heard of him."

Nan Xi: "..."

As a princess from an enemy country, most of what she heard about was that the regent was invincible and his cavalry defeated the Shu army.

Although Nan Xi is much smarter and calmer than in her previous life, she is still essentially a girl, and she is still a simple girl without too much scheming. Even if she had a painful experience of being betrayed in her previous life, she was fully prepared and she only survived in her previous life. to eighteen years.

She has never experienced many ups and downs, nor has she experienced any spectacular love. Under the protection of the regent Rong Yu, she has always lived a pure and calm life.

But this beautiful princess seems to have experienced many unknown stories, which makes people unpredictable for a while. Even her seemingly simple words always feel like there is some hidden meaning.

However, Nan Xi knows that you should not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. They have just met for the first time tonight. Even if they have a good impression of each other, they will most likely become compatible friends in the future, but after all, tonight is the first time they met.

As for the secrets in other people's hearts, even if she is a little curious, she will not continue to break the casserole and ask to the end.

Ci'an Palace is right in front of you.

Walking outside the solemn red palace gate, Nan Xi asked the palace people to go in and report, and then stood quietly outside the door waiting.

In the inner hall of Ci'an Palace, two concubines from the harem were talking to the Queen Mother. Two palace maids knelt on the ground and beat the Queen Mother's legs with lowered eyebrows. The palace where the Queen Mother lived was originally luxurious, and there were many people serving in the palace. Under the flattery of the concubine's soft laughter, the atmosphere became more relaxed and lively, and it was a happy one.

However, when the palace attendants came in to report that the Princess Regent had come to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, the atmosphere in Ci'an Palace suddenly dropped a few degrees.

The two concubines slowly stopped laughing, and one of them frowned: "The Princess Regent is really a big deal. She was supposed to come to greet the Queen Mother early the morning after the wedding, but she put on airs and refused to come. The Queen Mother did not summon her tonight, but she did Are you rushing to pay your respects to the Queen Mother? She is indeed a woman from a business background and doesn’t understand any rules.”

The Queen Mother's original good mood was completely ruined, and she smiled lukewarmly: "Isn't it a big deal? The regent protects the family and the country, holds military power, and the regent princess naturally follows her in all directions, how can she care about the sorrow? Do you think this old woman with one foot on the coffin board is in your eyes?"

Hearing this, the two concubines quickly coaxed: "The Queen Mother, please calm down. The day after tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday. You should be happy these two days. Why meet an unruly businesswoman? It will ruin your mood."

"Yes, Queen Mother, I have carefully prepared a gift for the Queen Mother in the past two days. The Queen Mother will definitely like it."

When the birthday was mentioned, the gloomy expression on the Queen Mother's face dissipated a bit, and she said calmly: "You still have good intentions. The Ai family has no hope of the regent princess. If she can not cause trouble to the Ai family, the Ai family will be thankful."

After saying this, she continued chatting with the two concubines, as if she had completely forgotten that the regent princess was waiting outside.

The two concubines also tried their best to say nice things, and after a while, the Queen Mother was coaxed into being very happy.

Outside Ci'an Palace, Nan Xi stood quietly for a while. The palace attendant who had not seen the report for a long time came out and smiled faintly: "I was right, we won't see the Queen Mother tonight."

"The palace servants haven't come out yet, which proves that the Queen Mother just wants to embarrass you." Ye Qingcheng said, "She neither directly lets you in nor refuses to see you. Does this mean she wants you to wait outside for a while?"

Nan Xi turned to look at her: "Your Highness, are you interested in waiting here?"

"Not interested." Ye Qingcheng stretched out his hand to caress his face, his voice was lazy and charming, "This princess's beautiful face needs to be taken good care of. Blowing in the air and staying up late will make the skin dry. How much jade dew do I need to use to maintain it?" "

Nan Xi smiled lightly: "In that case, let's go."

"What are you going for?"

"Wander around the imperial garden and wait for the palace banquet to end."

"Just what I want." Ye Qingcheng said, "Even if the wind wants to blow, I would rather do it in the fragrant and beautiful imperial garden, but I have no interest in standing here as a door god."

So the two of them turned around and walked towards the imperial garden like a leisurely stroll. At night, the palace lanterns were lit, and the air was quiet and peaceful.

Ci'an Palace is still full of joy and bustle.

The Queen Mother did have some intention of giving power to the Princess Regent, so she didn't directly say no, and planned to leave Nan Xi alone.

The anger in her heart has not gone away yet.

Originally, on the day when the Prince Regent got married, she had already thought that when the Princess Regent came into the palace to invite An Jing for tea the next day, she would teach Nan Xi the royal rules. For this reason, she even told the Queen and the concubines that night , I must come to Ci'an Palace early tomorrow morning to pay my respects, in order to achieve the purpose of setting rules for the regent princess.

The queen and the concubines naturally did not dare to go against her will, and they happened to have some intention of treating Nan Xi well in their hearts. However, no one expected that Nan Xi did not even step into the palace gate the day after the wedding.

Greetings?

Serve tea?

A woman who had just married into the royal family, not to mention setting rules, was so big that she didn't even show her face, which made the queen mother so angry that her face turned green. Several sets of fine tea utensils were broken, and even the exquisite long nails on her nails were broken. Two of the condoms were broken.

The Queen and the concubines in the harem, by trying to appease the Queen Mother, added fuel to the fire and made the Princess Regent useless. The Queen Mother couldn't help but break an antique vase.

The whole day in Ci'an Palace was filled with gloomy air, and the palace servants waited in fear, fearing that they would be dragged out and beaten to death if they angered the Queen Mother.

It can be seen how much the Queen Mother hated Nan Xi in her heart, so Nan Xi took the initiative to ask for an audience tonight, thinking that Nan Xi finally knew to come over and show goodwill, so the Queen Mother deliberately had some thoughts of teaching her a lesson.

Of course, she didn't know that it was the Emperor who asked Nan Xi to come.

But she didn't expect that Nan Xi and Ye Qingcheng would wait for a while and then go directly to the Imperial Garden.

So much so that half an hour later, she said lightly to the palace servants: "Let the Regent Princess come in."

After the palace servants went out and found that the Regent Princess had left and came in to report the truth, the Queen Mother's face immediately became gloomy, with visible blue and white interlaced, and even faintly visible distortion under anger.

The two concubines obviously did not expect such a situation. After a moment of silence, Concubine Xian spoke coldly: "The Regent Princess is really bold. She is so insincere when paying respects to the Queen Mother. What does she think of herself?"

"Yes, Queen Mother, don't bother with her. She is just a merchant who doesn't know the rules-"

"Get out!" The Queen Mother said in a cold tone, "Get out of here! Get out now! Get out!"
