No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 151 The Concubine's Responsibility (Part [-])

"My lord, Prime Minister Ruan is here."

In the study, Xie Yan was frowning through the memorial in front of him with furrowed brows, and only then raised his head when Duo Ying came in to tell him, "Please invite Xiang Xiang to drink tea in the hall."

"Yes." Dui Ying responded and was about to go out, only to hear Xie Yan ask: "Has Xi Ying not come back yet?"

Die Ying shook her head and said, "Go back to the prince, not yet."

"Let him come back to see the king immediately." Xie Yan said.

"Yes, my lord."

Ruan Ting sat drinking tea in the spacious but deserted lobby of the Prince Regent's Mansion, even though he was the current Prime Minister, Ruan Ting rarely came to the Regent's Mansion.

During the few visits, the impression that the Prince Regent's Palace gave him could only be described as cold and solemn.

It didn't look like a mansion where people lived, but more like a yamen that was deserted in the evening or night.

However, the Prince Regent's Mansion is the highest-standard palace in the entire capital, and it is naturally the largest in terms of area.But the only owners inside were Xie Yan who had just returned and Xie Chengyou who couldn't be the master, so it was inevitable that they would be a bit deserted.

It seems that the Prince Regent's Mansion really needs a hostess, so it's no wonder the Empress Dowager is in a hurry.

Xie Yan strode in from the outside, and Ruan Ting already knew it when he saw him.

Xie Yan is in a bad mood, and today's conversation may not go well.

"Master Ruan is here, what's the matter?" Xie Yancai just sat down and didn't exchange pleasantries, and got straight to the point.

Ruan Ting didn't feel uncomfortable with his behavior style, and said with a smile: "There are indeed some things that I want to talk to the prince in person."

Xie Yan raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, Ruan Ting thought for a while before saying: "The matter I mentioned to the prince last time, the prince rejected me."

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat understanding Ruan Ting's intentions.

It's just that he didn't quite understand that Ruan Tingming had no intention of forcing it at the time, and he even felt that Ruan Ting was not sincere when he mentioned it, so why did he change his mind now.

Ruan Ting obviously also knew Xie Yan's doubts, and said helplessly: "Ruan has no way to teach her daughter, which made the prince laugh. Ruan knows that the mediocrity of the little girl is rare for the prince's favor. It's just...my unfilial daughter is stubborn and stubborn, and I have made up my mind to do it again. It's hard to change. I know the empress dowager is worried about the prince's marriage, and the prince must not want her to worry about it. If the prince doesn't dislike it, the little girl can rest in the heart of the empress dowager for a while. If in the future... the prince has a proud person, you can Marrying a bride again, the Ruan family will have no complaints."

Xie Yan looked at Ruan Ting calmly, raised his sword eyebrows slightly, "Oh? This king marries a bride again, so what about your love?"

Ruan Ting looked solemn, and said in a cold voice: "My bad girl is stubborn and refuses to listen to her parents. If there is any bitterness in the future, she will bear it herself. Now I am shameless to fight for a glimmer of hope for her. What if it can succeed? It was her own good fortune. If the prince doesn't like her in the future, or if she gets married or divorced, or sent to the temple for repair, the Ruan family has no objection. Compared with letting her do something that humiliates the lintel of the Ruan family, the above These Ruan family can accept."

This is very ruthless, Ruan Yueli will not marry Xie Yan, so as long as Ruan Yueli can be married off, no matter if she becomes an abandoned wife in the future or is forced to become a nun, the Ruan family doesn't mind.

But Xie Yan's reaction after hearing this was very flat, neither moved by Ruan Yueli's affectionate persistence, nor angrily reprimanded Ruan Ting for being unworthy of being a father.

Holding the teacup, he groaned silently.

Ruan Ting stared at his calm and handsome face, but felt a little uncertain in his heart.

He didn't want to deal with Xie Yan, let alone be his son-in-law, because Xie Yan was too unpredictable, and it was even more difficult for him to grasp it if he couldn't see through it.

But what my daughter said was right, Xie Yan must not marry the Luo family!
In contrast, marrying his daughter to Xie Yan is not so unacceptable.

Ruan Ting was very disappointed with Ruan Yueli's daughter, since she didn't listen to her father's instructions, she was able to stop Xie Yan and the Luo family's marriage, and she was repaying her parents for her kindness.

However, Xie Yan's reaction was too flat, letting him know that things might not go so smoothly.

It seems that we still have to work elsewhere, preferably... their Ruan family and the Luo family should make a marriage first.

But Luo Yun and his son are not easy to be fooled with.

"Thank you, Xiang Ruan, for your attention." Xie Yan finally spoke slowly, and the answer was not beyond Ruan Ting's expectations, "This king can't afford Xiang Ruan and your Ling Ai's attention, so please ask Xiang Ruan to find another lover."

There was silence in the lobby, after a while Ruan Ting smiled wryly and said, "I made the prince laugh."

"Don't dare."

Being rejected again, Ruan Ting was naturally embarrassed to sit for a long time, and got up to leave after saying a few words.

"So, Xie Yan rejected you?"

In Nuanxin Garden, Luo Junyao, who was eating snacks, coughed repeatedly after being choked by his brother's words.

"Cough cough...Brother, you, cough..."

Luo Jinyan reached out and poured a glass of water and handed it over. Luo Junyao quickly took a sip before finally recovering. He raised his head and looked at his brother sitting opposite him with teary eyes, "Brother, why are you..."

How did the elder brother know that Xie Yan rejected her?Wouldn't everyone in the capital know about it?
Luo Jinyan poured himself a cup of tea gracefully, and said, "Don't worry, I just guessed that you should go to the Prince Regent's Mansion today. Look at you... you don't look like a little girl who is in love with each other should look like that. Then Naturally, it was rejected."

Luo Junyao looked at his elder brother's smiling eyes with some depression, "Brother, are you here to see me having fun?"

Luo Jinyan smiled and said: "No, I just guessed that Xie Yan will definitely reject you."

"why?"

Luo Jinyan thought for a while, and said: "Because, he is still a gentleman. Simply put...he thinks too much."

"What do you mean?"

Luo Jinyan said: "Yao Yao, do you really know what the position of Princess Regent represents?"

Luo Jun shook his eyes, "Princess, although there are not many princes and concubines in the capital, there are still a few county concubines.

And in the previous life, the princesses of those countries.

In Luo Junyao's impression, the concubine is either accompanying her husband to attend various public events for charity, or the concubine who is favored, out of favor, cannon fodder or protagonist in Gongdou dramas.After all, you can't expect that the real history will record the life and deeds of the princess in detail.

Unless their husband finally ascended to the position of Ninth Five.

Of course, it is not without reference to the answer.

"Princess Rui of Dongling?" Luo Jun shook his head.

Luo Jinyan was startled, but quickly nodded and said: "Yes, since you are a student of Anlan Academy, you must also know the life of that princess. Although she came from a mediocre background, she is extremely capable. Not only can she assist her husband, she even went to the battlefield in person , all kinds of great achievements are innumerable.”

Luo Jinyan looked at his younger sister affectionately, "Of course, it doesn't mean that every concubine has to have such achievements, but... the current position of regent concubine will not be easier or even more difficult than that of Princess Rui back then. After his death, he was far away at the border, and the power in the court was scattered. Several assistant ministers had their own ideas. It was not that simple for him to fully control the situation. Besides, the Qi people were fierce by nature, and there was a hatred-filled Bai Jingrong who was eyeing him Well, when the war will start again at the border is actually not up to Dasheng to decide, but to see when the Qi tribe can raise troops to invade the Central Plains again. At that time... Xie Yan may lead the army again. It would be better if this time is farther away. Wait until His Majesty is in charge... But if it is just a few years later... Although the princess regent cannot directly participate in the affairs of the court, the entire palace of the prince regent will be on the princess."

Luo Junyao whispered: "Even if His Majesty is in charge, it might not be a good thing, right?"

Luo Jinyan rubbed Luo Junyao's little head silently, and said: "So, do you understand why Xie Yan rejected you? Yaoyao, are you really ready to be a princess regent? Xie Yan's wife? If Xie Yan wasn't in this position, with his ability, I believe that if you marry him, he will definitely protect you for the rest of your life. But now..."

Luo Jun shook his head: "Brother already knew this would happen, why do you want me..."

Luo Jinyan said with a smile: "If you don't ask for the answer yourself, you will inevitably feel regretful in your heart."

"..." Do you think that if your sister is rejected, you won't regret it?

Luo Jun said: "Brother and Xie Yan, you all think that I am not as good as Xie Anlan, and I can't be the regent princess." How could she, Lan Mengmeng, lose to that nympho Xie Anlan!
Luo Jinyan sighed softly: "Why, in the eyes of big brother, Shake is the most powerful. Big brother still has the same attitude now. If you really want Xie Yan, big brother will still support you. After all, the world is better than Xie Yan It's really hard to find a good person, and high vision is not a bad thing. Yao Yao is no worse than any woman, big brother believes that you can do anything well."

Although he knew that his elder brother was coaxing him, Luo Junyao was quite happy.

Just listen to Luo Jinyan continue: "Brother just doesn't want you to suffer."

Luo Jun shook his eyes and suddenly felt his nose a little sore, "Brother, you are so kind."

How lucky to meet such a family across time and space?

　As the eldest brother said, the princess regent is really not a good and comfortable position.
