Chapter 230 Are you avoiding the chapter title?
Originally, when Nan Yi saw Xiao Zhizi and His Majesty being affectionate, he just felt that they had a good relationship.
At this moment, hearing his "girl" panting and seeing His Majesty's hand reaching for his waist, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
If I were not here, they would most likely become extremely passionate and perform a live sex show here.
Seeing Xiao Zhizi mention him, Nan Yi spoke at the right time after Nan Yingzhi said "Oh".
In order to help his daughter, he wanted to find out the truth in advance. He tried to find out from Nan Yingzhi what Yun Ji's status in the palace would be from then on.
"Your Majesty," he asked frankly, clasping his hands together, "Excuse me, what position do you want Yu Yingzhi to hold?"
Nan Yingzhi had no intention of hiding anything. Without hesitation, she spoke out her true thoughts: "She is my first wife, so I will naturally make her the queen."
Seeing that Nan Yi was still reserved, she added: "Brother Fanzhou, if Xiao Zhizi marries me, you will be my father-in-law.
"We are all family, why should we be so formal? Please don't perform formalities. In private, there is no need to address each other as king and subject."
When Nan Yi learned that Nan Yingzhi wanted to make Yun Ji the "Queen", he was surprised but also embarrassed.
If Xiao Zhizi becomes the queen, wouldn't I be the father-in-law of the emperor in the future?
Behind the words “blooming flowers and blazing fires”, it is often the case that “the higher you stand, the harder you fall.”
If one's status rises, one must also possess corresponding virtues in order to stand firm.
Nan Yi thought to himself that he had to be careful with his words and actions from now on.
With some idea in mind, he asked, "Since Yingzhi has won your heart, can we put the marriage on the agenda earlier?"
"That's right." Nan Yingzhi didn't like to procrastinate, and she didn't want to delay any further. "I plan to get married as soon as I return to the capital."
"But we just got back and there's a lot of work to be done," Nan Yi said hesitantly, "I'm afraid it's not a good idea to get married in public."
"No problem, Yingzhi only wishes to marry Your Majesty as soon as possible, and does not care about these red tapes,"
Yun Ji's eyes were bright, "If it's inconvenient to be extravagant, we can keep everything simple."
Dissatisfied with the perfunctory treatment of his daughter's coronation ceremony, Nan Yi wanted to say, "What's so simple about it? It's a grand wedding, that's your reputation."
Seeing that Yun Ji's heart and eyes were full of Nan Yingzhi, he suddenly realized that what he should do at this moment is to respect and bless him.
After a while of saying some bad words, Nan Yi finally said the good ones: "Qingchuan, you are thoughtful."
"How can my life be considered as suffering? Little Gardenia bore my child, that was suffering."
Suddenly he remembered that he had made this decision but had not yet reported it to the elder who was in charge of trivial matters in the capital.
Nan Yingzhi stood up and said, "Excuse me, I have to ask Lingyu to draft a letter and send it to the capital as quickly as possible."
Knowing that she said this only out of courtesy and not to obtain his consent, Nan Yi remained silent.
However, Yun Ji looked at her deeply and said, "You go." Only then did Nan Yingzhi slowly move her feet and call Ling Yu to draft an order.
While she was out, he could be alone with Xiao Zhizi. Nan Yi took a few steps closer to Yun Ji and said mysteriously: "Xiao Zhizi, are you and His Majesty truly in love?"
"Yes," Yun Ji couldn't shake his head in response to this question. He said sincerely, "Dad, Yingzhi and His Majesty are in love with each other."
Surprised to find that he was so deeply involved, Nan Yi was silent for a long time.
Only when he vaguely heard the sound of Nan Yingzhi almost finishing her explanation did he slowly speak.
"Qingchuan'er's mother passed away early. According to the news from the palace, the late empress dowager also passed away with the late emperor.
"Except for those who were buried alive with the emperor, most of the concubines of the previous emperor were dismissed and are not a problem.
"Once this wedding is completed, you will be second only to one man and above all others, the honorable Queen."
Previously, when Yun Ji heard Xiao Zhizi calling him "wife" in a soft voice, he did not feel it was inappropriate.
When he heard the word "Queen" from Nan Yi's mouth, he felt a chill down his spine.
There is a huge difference between a lady from an ordinary family and a queen who holds the phoenix seal and commands the six palaces.
Even though Xiao Zhizi had promised herself that she would be the only one left in the harem, Yun Ji still couldn't help feeling weird when she thought that, as the queen, she would have to be "graceful and elegant".
Nan Yi was completely unaware of his complicated emotions. He was still talking to himself, talking about his old father's heartfelt words.
"People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. The women in the harem either come for their own needs or to carry the trust of their families. Their goals are very firm.
"In the palace, if you don't step on others, you will only be driven by others in the future.
"Although they are women, the methods they use are no less powerful than those of the previous dynasty, and are even more sophisticated.
"In short, none of them are easy to deal with.
“You can’t hide away and miss opportunities, nor can you monopolize favors, because a tall tree attracts the wind.
"Every step is like walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.
"Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. From now on, you and Dad will be king and subject.
"You were bullied by the concubines, and even if Daddy had three heads and six arms, he was powerless and could not enter the palace to save you.
"No matter how hard it is, Qingchuan will remember the friendship he had with his father in the past and will come forward to protect you from time to time.
"But there are three thousand beauties in the harem. He can protect you temporarily, but not forever. You should be extremely cautious."
Hearing him mumbling like an old lady, Yun Ji knew that he was anxious, so she nodded and reassured him for the time being: "Daddy, your daughter will protect herself."
"Fortunately, you have been in the palace for some time before, so you are quite experienced and you probably know what to do. Daddy will not elaborate on this."
Yun Ji nodded subconsciously and said "hmm".
"I thought that after the death of the late emperor, you would be able to leave the palace and live a peaceful life by your father's side. Unexpectedly..."
Nan Yi sighed, "Little Gardenia, Daddy can't bear to let you escape from the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den again."
"Daddy," Yun Ji said his name awkwardly in an attempt to reassure Nan Yi, "Qingchuan promised me that there will only be me in the harem."
Seeing that he was deeply in love, Nan Yi sighed: "You can guarantee that he will not change his mind for the time being, but what about in the future?
"He really doesn't want to take a concubine just for you. Not only are the ministers complaining, but the censors are also going to say something.
"How could he, such a smart man, not be able to tell the difference between good and bad?
"Sincerely, there is a deadline."
Thinking of his own mother who was foolishly led by the emperor, Yun Ji knew that what he said was true and his nose felt sore.
There are tens of thousands of unfaithful men in the world, and half of them are emperors sitting in high positions, but he still firmly believes that Xiao Zhizi will not let him down.
Just at this moment, Nan Yingzhi lifted the curtain and entered the tent. Yun Ji didn't have to endure the sadness and racked his brains to reply to Nan Yi.
Seeing that he had just been out for a while, Yun Ji's eyes turned red, as if he was trying hard to hold back tears. Nan Yingzhi sat beside him and asked, "What happened?"
Feeling that what Nan Yi said was reasonable, Yun Ji did not complain to her. She just shook her head and said vaguely: "I just remembered some sad things."
Finally realizing that his presence was like a candlelight, illuminating the two lovers so that they dared not move, Nan Yi bowed and said, "You guys chat slowly, I won't disturb you any more."
Nan Yingzhi called out to Lingyu outside the tent, asking him to escort Nan Yi on his way: "Lingyu, see General Nan off."
Even though he had just sent a letter to the capital, Ling Yu still responded with a "OK" and set off without complaint.
Seeing that Nan Yi finally went out, with only Xiao Zhizi, whom he trusted very much, left by his side, Yun Ji's tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed.
Tears suddenly burst out, and his voice trembled: "Little Gardenia, wuwuwu..."
Nan Yingzhi put her hands around the back of his head, stroked his black hair, and gently kissed him on the forehead: "Don't cry."
"Little Gardenia," Yun Ji panted heavily, out of breath, "I thought of my mother."
Knowing that his mother was like a leech attached to his bones and a pain in his life, Nan Yingzhi nodded: "Well, tell me, I will listen carefully."
Perhaps it was the sight that brought back memories for Yun Ji, who was inexplicably excited: "She fell out of favor because she gave birth to me. Will I follow in her footsteps?"
"No," Nan Yingzhi wiped away his tears and comforted him, "I promise you that I won't let you follow in her footsteps.
"Let's make a pinky promise, okay?"
"What is 'hook'?" Yun Ji had never heard of such a term before, and was puzzled. "Is it an object similar to the 'Blood Oath Jade'?"
"Almost." Not knowing how to explain in detail, Nan Yingzhi planned to demonstrate it with actual practice. "Give me your little finger, and I'll teach you."
After sobbing for a while, Yun Ji lay most of his body in her arms, stretched out his little finger, and responded vaguely with "OK".
Hooking her little finger around his hand, Nan Yingzhi muttered the words she always used when making pinky promises.
"Pin, hang yourself. For a hundred years, don't change. If you change, you will be Zhu Bajie."
Yun Ji was confused: "Who is 'Zhu Bajie'?"
It felt like arguing with him about "Journey to the West" would be like talking for three days and three nights and there would be no end, Nan Yingzhi explained briefly.
"It's just a lazy pig." She poured some warm water into the cup to rehydrate him and reassured him, "Don't worry, I won't turn into a pig."
"Well," Yun Ji's pale lips turned redder after drinking some water, "I believe you."
It was said that Yuchi Yi had sworn an oath on the blood oath jade, and had left the tent with Yun Yan and returned to Beishuo to order the army to withdraw. Nan Yingzhi told them the next itinerary.
"Qingchuan'er," she touched his cheek with her fingertips, "we should go back to the capital."
"Hmm?" Yun Ji tilted his head and asked her, "When will you leave?"
She never thought that he would be so familiar with her when he tilted his head and acted coquettishly towards her. Nan Yingzhi was so stimulated that her heart was beating wildly.
She silently used her hands to straighten his head.
She remained silent, but was slightly dissatisfied with the fact that he reached out and touched his head. Yun Ji lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Zhizi, are you avoiding my question?"
