Chapter 14 No Need to Prove Yourself
The Earl of Gongning's Mansion celebrated this time with great fanfare.
Nangong Hua had never seen their house so lively.
This time, everyone thoroughly re-examined this so-called last lord...
It is common for a military general's family to have few people.
The useless person in the palace turned into a royal concubine and became pregnant with the emperor's heir.
The third brother, a playboy who did not work properly, has now become the Minister of Works.
Of the two daughters, one is now a tutor to the princesses of the dynasty at Wutong Academy, and the other dared to divorce the Duke of Jing!
The second son married a lady and rose rapidly from a small merchant to become a third-rank official.
As for the rest, the fourth brother now sits in charge of Ruilou and is a confidant of many gourmets in Beijing.
Even this little orphan left by the former Marquis Gongning, who was of no use at all, has now become the youngest number one scholar!
It’s incredible! This family is truly incredible!
Nangong Hua was mainly responsible for organizing the banquet.
Although Pu Qiongzhi has always been in charge of all matters in the mansion, he is reluctant to let his wife suffer.
However, with Yan'er and the others around, Nangong Hua would not be completely clueless.
Nangong Yu brought a box of files that day.
"Brother Yu, these are the unreasonable aspects of the law that I discovered."
"For so many years, I have been wondering when I will have the opportunity to change these things."
"Now, I think this is the opportunity!" she said excitedly.
Nangong Jiayu was so frightened by such a huge box of files that the corners of her mouth twitched.
From his previous life until later, these things had never seen the light of day. He didn't know how to tell his aunt...
But he also understood that it was because of people like his aunt that Daliang had a future.
…
Wutong Academy won completely this time.
Even though there were only eleven of them who made it to the provincial exam.
But among the top three, Wutong Academy accounts for two.
Moreover, both of them made the list at a young age, which shows their strength.
The princesses who originally studied here were somewhat dissatisfied, but now they feel an indescribable sense of pride.
"Pu Qiongzhi, you're great! I have nothing to say about the way this library is run!" Gongsun Ying praised Pu Qiongzhi highly.
Pu Qiongzhi smiled and said, "Your Highness knows the original intention of my opening of the library."
"Yes, yes, Pu Qiongzhi, you can do whatever you want!" Gongsun Ying exclaimed in amazement.
Pu Qiongzhi said, "I will be leaving soon to look into a business."
"Your Highness, please take good care of us in the capital."
She was afraid that the Ninth Prince would take action against Yu Ge'er... He would definitely have this idea.
I don't know why he couldn't tolerate Yu Ge'er in the first place. Now that Yu Ge'er has become the top scholar, he probably wants to get rid of Yu Ge'er even more.
Pu Qiongzhi entrusted the matter to Gongsun Ying, asking her to help protect her family.
"Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I will help you relieve your worries."
…
On the day Pu Qiongzhi went to Rongcheng, Nangong Hua personally saw her out.
When the boat sailed away, he met Gongsun Ying.
"I really didn't expect that you would come to me for cooperation." Gongsun Ying was a little surprised.
Nangong Hua was very calm about this, "My wife chose you, so I will naturally choose you too."
"No matter winning or losing?" Gongsun Ying asked back.
Nangong Hua nodded, "No matter if we win or lose."
"Then why did you send her away?" Gongsun Ying hit the nail on the head.
Nangong Hua answered truthfully, "If I hadn't sent the Madam away, I'd be worried about being in danger. She doesn't want to implicate me, but I'm willing to do it."
"This time, after the matter is settled, Madam will never casually mention divorce to me again."
Gongsun Ying heard him say this and asked, "You've taken over her business, aren't you afraid she'll be unhappy? She went to great lengths to plan this so you could get there first."
Nangong Hua shook his head, looked at the direction Pu Qiongzhi left, and smiled, "Madam doesn't care about the process, she just wants to get it."
"We all know what the Madam is capable of. It doesn't matter whether it's her or me who's taking the risk here."
He looked at Gongsun Ying and said with conviction, "Madam never needs to prove herself! She is inherently powerful."
"I'm here just to implement her choices and decisions. She can make the plans, and it's the same for me to implement them for her."
Gongsun Ying didn't expect that he trusted and understood Pu Qiongzhi so much.
She thought about her past self and finally understood...
If she had been like this at the beginning, their ending would probably have been different.
Then she laughed at her own thoughts.
She shrugged and laughed at herself.
Yes, she is only thinking about family and national affairs, why should she care about love?
People always have to get something.
For someone like her, just being able to accomplish something is enough.
Never mind, never mind...
…
March 17th.
The third prince secretly seized the iron mine and made steel.
Such behavior makes people suspect that he wants to rebel.
I heard that when he was captured, he kept saying that the master had predicted that he shouldn't fail...
The emperor was so angry about this that he fainted in the hall.
Because the emperor had many sons, and Daliang always chose the most capable rather than the eldest son as the heir.
I don't know who suggested that Princess Duanhui could temporarily take charge of the government until His Majesty wakes up.
Di Jin naturally agreed with this move. He only cared about being loyal to Daliang. It didn't matter who the emperor was.
King Jinnan actually did Pu Qiongzhi a favor for her two hundred sheep.
The only people left were Gongsun Ying, who used the Wutong Academy incident to support the idea of a woman acting as regent, thus successfully shutting everyone up.

In this way, all the princes were restrained, and the eldest princess could also intimidate those who were ready to make moves.
After the morning court session, Gongsun Ying came to Nangong Hua to celebrate—
"Now, everyone in the court is talking about it. The Third Prince did something wrong and the Emperor fell ill due to anger..."
"If His Majesty had not fallen ill, how could the power have been seized by Your Highness?" Nangong Hua remained calm and was not surprised by the result.
Gongsun Ying had never realized that Mingxu was so cunning.
Even after committing such a treasonous act, he could still sit here and drink tea calmly.
"The Emperor's fortune is in trouble. Various forces are ready to make a move, and many princes are eyeing him covetously."
"At this time, the eldest princess, who was specially appointed by the late emperor, can naturally serve as regent."
"You are the only one who can satisfy all parties involved, and you are the only one who seems to be the least threatening."
Right now, the palace is sealed off and the Empress is taking care of the Emperor.
However, at this time, an accident happened.
The eldest princess's men suddenly came in and whispered something in her ear.
"How is that possible... Aren't there still two months left?" Gongsun Ying's expression was solemn.
Nangong Hua couldn't help but frown when he heard this, "What happened? Is it my aunt?"
"Noble Concubine Ru...I'm afraid she's going to give birth prematurely! Right now, the palace is in chaos, and everyone is busy taking care of the Emperor. She definitely can't do it alone!"
Gongsun Ying stood up and took a few steps on the spot, determined to go into the palace to help.
"Someone must have tampered with it, but they only did it when the child was already this old... It's too dangerous!"
Gongsun Ying frowned, "It's time for me to enjoy the power of the regent!"
