Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

Hearing this, Xia Houqi couldn't help laughing:

"That's not the case. Although I can't guarantee the Queen Mother's character, she won't do anything like backstabbing. The Queen Mother comes from a noble family. She is arrogant and fair towards others."

"You don't understand me yet?" Nan Xi raised her eyebrows.

"I have heard a lot about the dispute between the Queen Mother and Queen Jingxian. I can only say that the grudge between the two of them is harmless." Xia Houqi explained.

"So I am still very curious as to why my father believed that it was the Queen Mother who poisoned my mother. No matter how I looked at Concubine Lin, she was more suspicious." Nan Xi frowned slightly.

"I also asked His Majesty, but Your Majesty kept silent and didn't seem to want to say more. As time went by, I stopped asking any more questions."

Xiahou Qidu said this, and Nan Xi's curiosity has reached its peak. She must find the right time to ask her father about this matter. Perhaps the Queen Mother's birthday is the best opportunity.

Nan Xi found a time to go to Ci'an Palace and informed the Queen Mother that her father was planning to celebrate her sixtieth birthday.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked at Nanny Chang in disbelief, and then glanced at Nan Xi:
  "Is what you said true?"

"I don't have to lie to you."

When the Queen Mother heard Nan Xi's affirmative answer, she was about to cry with joy, and her eyes instantly turned red. Upon seeing this, Grandma Chang quickly supported the Queen Mother to prevent her from fainting due to excessive emotion.

Nan Xi also waited until the Queen Mother calmed down and continued:
  "Her Majesty, now I want to ask you for a guarantee. I wonder if Her Majesty can give it to me."

"You said that you have done such a great favor to the Ai family. Whatever you want, the Ai family will give it to you!" the Queen Mother solemnly promised.

"I want the Queen Mother to assure me that the death of my mother has nothing to do with the Queen Mother. If I find out in the future that the Queen Mother has anything to do with this matter, even in the slightest, I will never forgive you, Queen Mother. What did my father do?" For those who have eased their relationship with the Queen Mother, I also have ways to make your relationship even worse than before."

Nan Xi said these words in an extremely calm tone, but it was impossible to ignore the fierceness in her eyes.

Even after so many years of hardship, the Queen Mother was still shocked by the cruelty in Nan Xi's eyes.

But she could also understand Nan Xi's mood. After all, it was related to the death of her biological mother, which everyone would care about.

"The Ai family can assure you that the Ai family has nothing to do with the death of Queen Jingxian. Although the Ai family hates your mother, they have never wanted to let her die."

After the Queen Mother calmed down, she made this promise to Nan Xi.

Nan Xi kept staring at the Queen Mother, and saw that her eyes did not dodge at all, and it really did not look like she was lying, and then she smiled.

"With these words from the Queen Mother, my granddaughter will feel relieved. Please forgive me for the offense I just made."

The phrase "royal grandmother" means that Nan Xi has completely recognized the identity of the queen mother.

The Queen Mother also noticed the difference, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile:

"Your temperament is exactly the same as that of your father. They say that a tiger father has no dog daughter. This sentence is truly unmistakable."

The Queen Mother looked at Nan Xi with admiration.

"My grandma is so complimentary. Compared with my father, my granddaughter still has many shortcomings. She still needs to learn more from her father's side."

Faced with the Queen Mother's praise, Nan Xi was able to remain calm.

"Aside from helping the Ai family celebrate their birthdays, did your father say anything else?" the Queen Mother asked, looking at Nan Xi expectantly.

"Is the imperial grandmother talking about going out to Ci'an Palace?"

The Queen Mother nodded, that was exactly what she was talking about.

Although the emperor did not prohibit her from leaving Ci'an Palace, she understood that her son wanted her to stay in Ci'an Palace and not go anywhere. In order to prevent her son from continuing to be suspicious, the Queen Mother endured the humiliation and stayed in Ci'an Palace for more than ten years.

"Don't worry, Imperial Grandmother, your father's side has been loosened. Your granddaughter will create opportunities for you and your father to resolve the misunderstanding. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, the relationship between Imperial Grandmother and your father will definitely return to its original state." Nan Xi chuckled softly.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother felt relieved.

"That's fine, that's fine"

The Queen Mother murmured a few words in a low voice, which was enough to prove her expectation for this day.

The reason why Nangong Rui agreed to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday was because Nan Xi had spoken to several ministers in advance, and they raised the issue of the Queen Mother's birthday. Then Nan Xi followed up and suggested that Nangong Rui hold a birthday banquet for the Queen Mother, and Nangong Rui agreed. When he came down, he left the birthday matters to Nan Xi and Xia Houqi to handle together.

The Queen Mother's birthday happened to be ten days before New Year's Eve, so Nan Xi simply asked everyone in the palace to dress up. When the Queen Mother's birthday was over, it happened to be New Year's Eve, thus saving a lot of money.

On the Queen Mother's sixtieth birthday, Nan Xi went to worship the heavens on behalf of all the royal children. After the ceremony, Nan Xi returned to the palace and started organizing the birthday banquet.

Nan Xi was not very familiar with holding banquets in the palace, but with Xia Houqi helping her, she was able to do things like a duck in water.

"If it weren't for your help this time, this birthday banquet would have been really difficult to hold."

Nan Xi also acknowledged Xia Houqi's help without hesitation.

When Xia Houqi heard Nan Xi thanking him, he took the opportunity to ask for benefits.

"If you really want to thank me, why not let me stay at Tianfeng Palace tonight?"

Nan Xi gave Xia Houqi a good look one second, and then gave him a blank stare the next.

"Can you stop filling your mind with unhealthy things? I'm talking to you about serious things, but you're talking nonsense." Nan Xi looked at Xia Hou with disgust.

"I don't allow Di Ji to say that about me. All I think about is you, Di Ji. How could it be unhealthy?" Xia Houqi curled his lips.

Nan Xi instantly got goosebumps, and then she curled her fingers at Xia Houqi, gesturing for him to come closer.

Xia Houqi did as he was told and wanted to hear what Nan Xi had to say to him.

"Did you know you're so greasy now?"

"How do you describe greasy?" Xia Houqi looked at Nan Xi confused, but he probably knew that this was not a good word.

"Or you can understand it as obscene, greasy and obscene. The two words are the same, and they don't distinguish between you and me."

Xia Houqi knew what the word "obscene" meant, and his face darkened instantly and he was speechless.

"I care deeply about you, but Di Ji thinks that I am vulgar? I am so sad."

Seeing that Xia Houqi was about to act again, Nan Xi quickly stopped him:

"Okay, there are so many people here. It's such an important day today, so don't make a fuss. I'll give you a kiss when the birthday banquet is over. That's all."

Nan Xi lowered her voice and coaxed a few words. After hearing this, Xia Houqi immediately returned to his serious look:

"This is what you said, don't deny it. I'll ask you for it after the birthday party."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Nan Xi responded helplessly.
