Chapter 285 Because I Have Nothing to Ask For

The palace was quiet again.

To be honest, this scene was not what the royal family had expected.

They had imagined what kind of woman Princess Feng was, dignified and gentle, or innocent and naive.

Arrogant and domineering, or simple and ignorant.

Even if she was smart and intelligent, she still had the innocence of a 15- or 16-year-old girl who didn't understand the world. She would be reserved and a little uncomfortable when she first arrived. If someone made things difficult for her, she would be nervous and even tremble with fear.

They never expected that this 16-year-old girl would completely control the situation as soon as she stepped into Chonghua Palace.

No wonder the King of Wei was so angry that he lost control after just a few words. This little girl was indeed capable, but they really couldn't understand how a girl in her teens could be so confident and courageous.

"Royal husband regent?" In silence, the queen said calmly, "Princess Feng means that after ascending the throne, let the regent of Da Zhou directly participate in the government of Dongling?"

Nan Xi turned her eyes slightly, looked in the direction of the queen, and nodded calmly: "That's what I mean."

Everyone was in an uproar.

"This is not appropriate." The queen frowned slightly, her expression deep and unpredictable, "We recognize that he is your husband, and we are willing to let people respect him as the main palace husband after you ascend the throne, but the regent is related to the Dongling country, and it must not be treated as a joke, let alone a bargaining chip to show the love between husband and wife."

"Please be patient, Queen." For the elders who speak reason, Nan Xi is willing to give a patient explanation, "I did not make such a decision impulsively because of the deep love between husband and wife, but I have already thought about it carefully. Rong Yu is the regent in Da Zhou and has enough experience in handling government affairs. With his assistance, I can quickly learn to handle state affairs after ascending the throne, and will not make mistakes due to lack of experience. This is responsible for the Dongling country and the people of the world."

Royal The queen looked gloomy and was about to speak when she heard Nan Xi continue to speak slowly: "In fact, what the queen and other elders are really worried about, I know it in my heart. Rong Yu is the prince of the Great Zhou. You are worried that a woman like me will act emotionally and lose power, but I can guarantee that this will never happen to me and Rong Yu."

"How can Princess Feng guarantee it?" King Wei said coldly, "Just relying on your light verbal promise?"

Nan Xi smiled faintly: "If Rong Yu really had ambitions, he would have been the emperor in the Great Zhou, and he would not have gone through all the twists and turns to seize the kingdom of Dongling. If you want to be the emperor, would you hold 400,000 troops and not do anything, but go to other countries to seize other people's kingdoms?"

Everyone was speechless.

This makes sense.

With 400,000 troops in hand, if he really has ambitions, it is obviously easier to force the emperor to the throne in his own country. After all, the subjects of the Great Zhou are in awe of the regent. If he can force the emperor to the throne successfully, I think no one will dare to oppose him.

But the situation will be completely different in other countries. He is an outsider - this is the common understanding of all the Dongling royal family.

Nan Xi has the blood of the Xuanyuan royal family, so no matter what people think about her return, at least she is a member of the Xuanyuan family. If she sits on the throne, this country will still be the country of the Dongling Xuanyuan family.

If one day in the future, the power is controlled by the regent Rong Yu and the country changes hands, it will be tantamount to usurping the throne. Once such a thing happens, the entire Dongling royal family will not watch it, and they will get rid of the usurper at all costs.

The priest hall will not allow such a situation to happen.

But even so, they have to take precautions.

"I can only guarantee what I can do. Whether you believe it or not is your business." Nan Xi smiled calmly, "Before I ascend the throne, I am willing to let you know my attitude. If you think it is inappropriate, I will not force you. Just think that I have never set foot in Dongling. The throne can choose another wise master. I will return to Da Zhou to continue to be my regent princess, or if I want, I can also be the queen who rules the country. I believe Rong Yu will not ask me not to interfere in politics. We are equal husband and wife, no matter where we are, there will be no change."

The palace was as quiet as death.

Today, all the people who appeared here were royal relatives, and there were also noble princes, dukes, and princes. Except for His Majesty, the oldest Prince Wei was already over 40 years old, and the other princes and dukes were all in their thirties and forties. The younger generation was in their twenties, and there were 17 or 18 years old. They were born in the royal family and had been accustomed to all kinds of scenes since childhood. They were bound by rules, flattered by people around them, and served by servants. They knew when to say what and when to do what. Who hadn't become a smart person?

Even Fu Chen's toughness in front of his mother was because he had already calculated that Princess Jing would compromise in the end.

The only thing they hadn't seen was a girl as bold as Nan Xi, who was almost pure, and didn't even know how to cover up or detour.

Facing so many relatives and elders who were older than her, she expressed her thoughts in the most straightforward way, and didn't even mind letting them see her persistence and uncompromising attitude. It was like "If you don't agree, it's fine. Anyway, I don't want to be the queen."

They didn't know whether to be angry or smile bitterly.

This position that everyone is fighting for, she actually doesn't care about at all. Not caring is a kind of confidence in itself. Because she has nothing to ask for, she can insist on what she wants to insist on without scruples and protect those she must protect.

When they met for the first time today, she made them understand that if Dongling wants to have her as the empress, there must be Rong Yu as the emperor.

Otherwise, everything is off the table.

The supreme position that so many eyes are staring at has become a bargaining chip for her.

"Do you really think you have the courage to do whatever you want just because you rely on the support of the priest's hall?" A cold voice came from the side hall, "The crown prince of Dongling is the candidate jointly decided by my father and the high priest. The people of Dongling have come thousands of miles to bring Princess Feng back for the stability of Dongling's country, not to create civil strife in Dongling - the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and it is also a harem of marriage. If the emperor's husband is really appointed as the regent, I am afraid that Princess Feng will not dare to guarantee what the surname of Dongling will be in the future."

This voice is the Princess of Wei.

As the mother of the crown prince, Princess Wei is only one step away from becoming the empress dowager. Once her son becomes the emperor, even if she cannot legitimately take the position, she can still enjoy the same honor and treatment as the empress dowager.

But because of Nan Xi, she will lose this opportunity forever.
