Nan Xi smiled faintly: "If the Queen can't see me, will she not give up?"

She was summoned yesterday, but Rong Yu ordered someone to refuse on the grounds that "Miss Nan was trapped in the palace by the Regent". Why did she continue to summon her today?

Is it because he learned that she came to the Princess's Mansion to attend the birthday banquet of Princess Baoling? It seems that the spies in the palace are everywhere.

"Don't pay attention to her." Rong Yu said faintly, "I will ask someone to send you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"No need." Nan Xi shook her head, "The more impatient the Queen is, the easier it is to deal with. Besides, I entered the palace with the prince, and the Queen can't do anything bad to me."

Even if she was concerned about the Regent's face, the Queen couldn't make things too difficult for her. Instead, Nan Xi could use the Queen's mouth to find out the Emperor's bottom line.

Rong Yu and Nan Xi left Taoyuan and walked towards the front yard.

Qingyang, Yinyue and Yinshuang, who were waiting outside the garden, followed silently, passing through the winding corridors, with wisteria flowers hanging down like waterfalls on both sides, emitting a light fragrance.

"Miss Nan!" A young man hurried over at the end of the corridor, his face full of anxiety, "Miss, have you seen my young master? I can't find him no matter how hard I try. He was clearly in the direction of Taoyuan just now..."

"As Mr. Gu's servant, why don't you follow him closely?" Nan Xi stopped and spoke without any emotion, "Men and women should not be intimate, how do I know where he is?"

This person is Gu Qingshu's servant, named Yuan'er, who is quite smart. In the past, Nan Xi loved the mansion and took good care of this young man, but now, because of Gu Qingshu, she dislikes everyone in the Gu Mansion.

Yuan Er choked, "I..."

"The Regent is here, don't you know to bow?"

Yuan Er's face changed, and just as he was about to look up, he suddenly realized that he was being rude. He only saw the noble black robe in his sight, and he knelt down with a plop: "Little... little people greet the Regent, the Regent is long-lived, long... long-lived!"

Rong Yu looked indifferent, and didn't even spare him a glance, and just passed by him.

Nan Xi was held by his arm, so she naturally followed him to leave.

Passing by the noisy front yard, a young man saw Rong Yu and Nan Xi, and was stunned at first, then he bowed respectfully and said carefully: "Someone is holding a Qushui Liushang event over there, are the prince and Miss Nan interested in joining in the fun?"

Rong Yu is an extremely cold person, usually doesn't pay much attention to these people, and of course it is even more impossible for him to attend any Qushui Liushang banquet.

"The prince and I have something to do."

The young man nodded and quickly bowed and left.

"Little uncle." The princess heard the servant's report and came over surrounded by people, bowing gracefully, "Are uncle and Miss Nan going to the palace?"

She asked even though she knew it.

Yang, the chief steward beside the emperor, came to convey the emperor's order in person, and even conveyed the queen's order to Nan Xi. How could the princess not know?

Nan Xi nodded: "The queen summoned me, I dare not not go."

Rong Yu remained silent, without any reaction to the servants kneeling and bowing around him, and walked out of the princess's mansion with Nan Xi.

Although the princess was older than the regent, she was shorter in seniority, and the regent was in power and in the limelight. Naturally, she did not dare to neglect it, and the people along the way escorted her to the gate of the princess's mansion.

"Men and women should not touch each other. Miss Nan is still a virgin. The young uncle should consider her reputation." The princess smiled, without any abnormality on her face. "I asked someone to prepare another carriage for Miss Nan."

"I dare not trouble the princess." Nan Xi declined and smiled nonchalantly, "I am now a celebrity in the imperial city. My reputation has long been ruined. Why should I care about my reputation? I will just ride in the same carriage with the prince. We can still talk on the way."

Hearing this, the princess pulled a smile from the corner of her mouth: "Miss Nan is open-minded and has a clever mouth."

"Princess, you are too kind." Nan Xi smiled lightly, "The prince is indifferent and taciturn, so I should naturally say more. Otherwise, if two ice cubes get together, how will we live the rest of our lives?"

The princess smiled a little coldly.

The rest of her life?

Is this because she is sure that she can marry the regent and is ready to be the regent princess?

Rong Yu's heart couldn't help but throb.

The rest of her life?

Nan Xi quickly got on the carriage and said to Rong Yu: "The prince didn't come on horseback, did he? Get on, I'll sit with the prince."

Originally, Rong Yu planned to ride a horse into the palace, so he didn't prepare any other carriages except the one Nan Xi took when he came. However, after Nan Xi finished speaking, he didn't say anything and got on the carriage directly.

The eldest princess lowered her head slightly and watched the carriage slowly drive away.

When the carriage went away, her face suddenly turned cold: "Where is Gu Qingshu?"

The servant beside her replied: "No, we haven't found him yet."

The eldest princess flicked her sleeves and turned to enter the mansion: "Waste!"

Nan Xi thought of the eldest princess's attitude just now, and her red lips curved slightly.

Although the person she was respectful to was Rong Yu, she could not avoid taking advantage of him. After lowering the curtain, Nan Xi's voice became more playful: "It is true that being with the prince has many advantages. Even the honorable and favored princess has to give me some respect."

Rong Yu looked at her, "When you become the regent princess in the future, the emperor, the queen and the princess will all be your juniors."

Is he asking her for marriage?

Nan Xi frowned and couldn't help but laugh when she thought that the 40-year-old eldest princess would have to call her "Auntie". Such a scene was really unimaginable.

If she really marries the regent, except for the old princes who have already stepped onto the coffin board, the other royal family members will almost all be her juniors, and they will have to call them "Auntie" when they meet.

There is no way, Rong Yu's seniority is too high.

"That's right." Nan Xi thought about the anxious expression on Gu Qingshu's boy who didn't seem to be hypocritical, and she had some speculation in her mind. She raised her eyes and looked at the noble man in front of her, "Did something happen to Gu Qingshu?"

Gu Qingshu was last year's top pick, had good relationships with some young masters, and was a young rookie in front of the emperor. In the eldest princess's mansion, except for Rong Yu, no one should be unfavorable to Gu Qingshu.

"Yes." Rong Yu's voice was light, "It's just a light punishment."

A light punishment?

Nan Xi said: "Didn't his hands and feet get crippled?"

Rong Yu said: "No."

"Why?"

Nan Xi is just curious. After all, Rong Yu has never been a soft-hearted person. If he wants to deal with Gu Qingshu, he can easily make this person disappear from the world without even lifting a finger.

Rong Yu was honest: "You will be unhappy."

"Why am I unhappy?" Nan Xi was stunned, "Do you think I still have feelings for him?"

Rong Yu shook his head: "No."

What is that?

Nan Xi looked at him, and suddenly a flash of light flashed through her mind: "Your Majesty, are you worried that your methods will be too harsh to scare me?"
