"Di Ji, thank you for your help this time, otherwise the matter of the third princess would be really difficult to solve."

Chen Ziyue sent Nan Xi to the door and said.

"If you hadn't been in trouble, I wouldn't have taken action easily, even if the eldest prince agreed to my conditions." Nan Xi said calmly.

"I know, Di Ji is partly because of me." Chen Ziyue said sheepishly.

She knew that Di Ji was cold-faced and hot-hearted, and would not leave her alone.

"From now on, the eldest prince belongs to me, so you don't have to be in a dilemma. Just live a good life with him and don't let me down for my hard work."

Nan Xi smiled lightly, thinking that Chen Ziyue's silly look at the moment was really good.

"Yes, I will. We will all stand by Di Ji from now on." Chen Ziyue nodded very firmly, and then watched Nan Xi get on the carriage.

When Nan Xi returned to the palace, it was already afternoon.

Xia Houqi even had lunch at Tianfeng Palace, completely treating Tianfeng Palace as his second home.

"Di Ji, the prince has been waiting for you all morning. Now the prince should rest in your room." Huan Yun saw Nan Xi coming back and hurriedly stepped forward to remind her.

"Is he sleeping on my bed?" Nan Xi raised her eyebrows, thinking that Xia Houqi really didn't treat her as an outsider.

"You should just sleep on the soft couch. Emperor Ji, you will know after you go in and take a look. The servants are guarding outside the house and will not let anyone in."

Hearing what Huanyun said, Nan Xi glanced at her suspiciously, then opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xia Houqi lying on the couch wearing only his underwear, with a thin blanket covering him.

"This is my palace's bedroom after all. You should also pay attention to your image." Nan Xi glanced at Xia Houqi unhappily.

Xia Houqi opened his eyes suddenly, with a smile on his face:

"What Di Ji said, this will also be my king's room in the future, why can't I stay there?"

"You also said that it's in the future and we haven't gotten married yet, so you should pay more attention to the impact." Nan Xi said with a chuckle.

Hearing this, Xia Houqi sat up, then put the coat beside the soft couch on his body, looked at her and asked:

"Di Ji has been out for so long, where has she been?"

"I have some personal matters to deal with. I just came back after handling them. Why, after not seeing me for a long time, the prince misses me?" Nan Xi asked deliberately.

"Yeah, not seeing each other for half a day is like three autumns."

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Just say what you have to say and leave as soon as you're done. I still have government affairs to be busy with."

Hearing this, Xia Houqi frowned and tutted:

"You are so ruthless, why can't I come to you when I have nothing to do? Why do you dislike me more and more? Are you disgusted before I even get it?"

Seeing Xia Houqi asking this, Nan Xi couldn't help laughing:

"Do you know how much you look like that harem woman?"

"So, you just dislike me."

"No, it's just that I've been really tired lately and I don't want to talk about what's there and what's not. Aren't you also busy with official duties?" Nan Xi glanced at him slightly tiredly and said.

Seeing that Nan Xi was really tired, Xia Houqi didn't waste any more time and got down to business.

"I really have something to discuss with you. It's important, and I don't know who to discuss it with."

It was rare to see Xia Houqi so serious, so he asked:

"What makes you so panicked?"

"Do you still remember Zhao Hongxing?" Xia Houqi asked.

"Remember, he is the general in your army. What happened to him?"

Nan Xi thought about it for a moment, and his face suddenly came to mind, so she asked. "He went to see the king yesterday and asked me to propose marriage to His Majesty and want to marry the fourth princess."

"Who do you think he wants to marry? The fourth princess? Nangong Zhaoxing?" Nan Xi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked in confusion.

"Yes, I was very shocked when I heard that. He and the Fourth Princess have never interacted with each other on weekdays. Why he suddenly asked me to propose marriage to His Majesty, I can't figure it out."

"Then have you asked why?" Nan Xi asked again.

"Well, I asked, and he said that he had done something sorry for the fourth princess, and now he can only marry the fourth princess to atone for his sin." Xia Houqi replied.

Nan Xi always felt that these words had some other meaning, but she didn't figure it out at once.

"Then what you mean is that you want me to ask Zhaoxing and Concubine Rou for their opinions?" Nan Xi asked Xia Houqi what he meant by telling her.

Xia Houqi nodded, "Yes, that's what I mean. Although Zhao Hongxing is mine and he is still young and promising, he is Princess Shang after all. It mainly depends on the opinions of Princess Shang and Concubine Rou."

After hearing Xia Houqi's explanation, Nan Xi reluctantly nodded, indicating that she understood what he meant.

"Okay, then I'll go pay my respects to Concubine Rou in the evening, and by the way, I'll check out their conversations."

"In this case, I would like to thank you on behalf of Zhao Hongxing." Xia Houqi said with a faint smile.

"Don't do this. Okay, now that I've finished talking, you can leave, or you can stay and help me correct the memorial." Nan Xi glared at him angrily.

"Di Ji has done me such a big favor, so I naturally want to repay Di Ji. If Di Ji feels at ease, just leave these memorials to me." Xia Houqi said with a flattering smile.

"Okay, then you correct it and I'll take a break and tell me when you've made the correction."

After saying that, Nan Xi walked to the bed unceremoniously and lay down.

Xia Houqi was not joking with Nan Xi. He sat at the desk and began to carefully correct the memorial. He also imitated Nan Xi's handwriting to avoid being discovered by others.

When Nan Xi woke up, it was already sunset. She glanced at the desk and saw that Xia Houqi was still working hard.

"Aren't you done yet? Just let me do it myself."

"It's almost finished. Are you awake? It's just in time for Huanyun to pass the meal. I'll finish the meal with you and then go back to the palace." Xia Houqi said calmly.

Hearing what he said, Nan Xi couldn't bear it:

"After dinner, please wait for me in the palace for a while. I'll go talk to the Fourth Princess and Concubine Rou," Nan Xi said.

Hearing this, Xia Hou put down the pen in his hand and nodded.

"That's okay, I just finished processing the discounts here, so let's pass on the food."

After the two had dinner together, Nan Xi took Huan Yun to Qianfu Palace, the residence of Concubine Rou.

When Concubine Rou saw Nan Xi coming, she quickly stood up to welcome her.

"Why does Emperor Ji have time to come to Qianfu Palace to sit here?"

"I've met Di Ji." Nangong Zhaoxing also saluted Nan Xi.

When Nan Xi saw that Concubine Rou and Nangong Zhaoxing were both there at this time, she thought it would save her trouble and she could ask them directly for their opinions.

"Actually, I came here to seek the opinions of Imperial Concubine Rou and the Fourth Princess on something." Nan Xi made her intention clear.

Hearing this, Concubine Rou and the fourth princess were both stunned, but they still asked Nan Xi to sit down, and then asked:

"May I ask why Di Ji came here this time?"
