Fu Yunxi, who was standing by, was listening with great interest and wanted to applaud him.
As expected, the person he likes is different. A smile appeared on Fu Yunxi's face.
Although Lu Changzhou felt that Zhong Nanyiyi's words were somewhat inappropriate, at the moment he felt more threatened by Rong Jing's attitude towards Fu Yunxi. He didn't seem to be disgusted by the rumors outside.
"Prince Rong seems to be different from the rumors." Zhong Nanyiyi said meaningfully, suppressing his anger.
Rong Jing did not answer, but sat quietly aside.
It was not until lunch time that Fu Yunxi did not try to keep Zhong Nanyiyi, which made him look even more embarrassed.
It was not convenient for Zhong Nanyiyi to stay in the Princess's Mansion all the time. She was so angry that she couldn't even eat, so she left immediately.
But this was very different from what she had originally expected. Zhong Nanyiyi originally thought that she would confide in Lu Changzhou and then see her royal sister crying.
But after arriving at the Princess's Mansion, she discovered that Lu Changzhou still had Fu Yunxi in his heart, and Fu Yunxi did not like Lu Changzhou as much as she thought.
Although she attributed all this to Fu Yunxi's lustful behavior, she still felt angry.
In the past, because of Zhong Nanyiyi's reputation, she was praised by others outside, but now she was treated so humiliatingly by a man, which made her feel ashamed and angry.
Compared to Lu Changzhou's distant attitude, Rong Jing's verbal attacks clearly concerned her more. However, Zhong Nanyi would like the elegant Lu Changzhou, but not the "venomous" Rong Jing. This is the difference between the two.
After suffering a setback here, Zhong Nanyiyi returned to his own residence.
When the servants in her house saw Zhong Nanyiyi coming back, they all came over to please her.
Zhong Nanyiyi chose these people based on Lu Changzhou's appearance, but they only fell in love with Zhong Nanyiyi.
The first man in black was Leng Que, the head of Chunqiu Pavilion. He was betrayed by people in the pavilion at that time. Zhong Nanyiyi saw Leng Que dying. His eyes were very similar to Lu Changzhou's, so Zhong Nanyiyi rescued him and placed him in the princess's mansion.
Later, Leng Que regained the power of Chunqiu Pavilion, but because he liked Lu Changzhou, he continued to live in the princess's mansion, even though he had no name or status, but he was willing to do so.
The second one was just a scholar named Baili Hong. Baili Hong was just a bastard of the Marquis's mansion and was not liked by his family. Because he was very talented, he was envied by others, so he was framed by his stepmother and driven out of the mansion.
Therefore, Baili Hong, who was disgusted with the wickedness of human nature, was unwilling to re-enter the officialdom. He could not survive outside the mansion at all. Fortunately, the princess gave him a place to live, so Baili Hong used his talents to help Zhong Nanyiyi do things.
Of course, although these two servants do not have high status, they can be used by Zhong Nanyi.
Leng Que saw that Zhong Nanyi looked unhappy, and said considerately, "If anyone makes Yi'er unhappy, I will kill her."
A cold light flashed in the man's eyes, and he clearly had murderous intent.
But Zhong Nanyi stopped him and said, "It's not a big deal, you don't need to do anything."
She also has to rely on Rong Jing to keep Fu Yunxi, so that Lu Changzhou will be more disappointed with her royal sister and then be willing to stay with her.
Leng Que didn't know what Zhong Nanyiyi was thinking, but he wouldn't object to anything she said.
In order to prevent Leng Que from becoming suspicious, Zhong Nanyiyi stroked his face very gently.
Leng Que then went to the side to practice sword dancing with a red face, and Zhong Nanyiyi sat down to watch.
Baili Hong came to her side and massaged her shoulders. Zhong Nanyiyi closed her eyes comfortably, enjoying it very much.
"Princess, if there is anything that makes you unhappy, I am willing to find a way to help you." Baili Hong's voice was soft, but more considerate.
Zhong Nanyi opened her eyes when she heard this. She knew Baili Hong was smart and talented. In fact, if it weren't for Lu Changzhou's example, she would have fallen in love with Baili Hong.
Unfortunately, Baili Hong is now just someone she is using.
Zhong Nanyi hesitated and said, "What kind of person do you think Rong Jing is? Is there any way to deal with him?"
Baili Hong frowned. Although Rong Jing's name was familiar to everyone in the capital, they didn't know anything about him except that he was weak.
But Baili Hong always knew what Zhong Nanyiyi was thinking. He thought she was doing this for the princess's former husband, Lu Changzhou. Although he was jealous, as long as Zhong Nanyiyi was happy, he would be happy.
So Baili Hong thought for a moment and said, "I think Rong Jing's reputation is completely ruined now. The best outcome is that he can become a royal consort, but that would free Lord Lu."
Zhong Nanyi nodded. She had already thought of this. "Go on."
The man continued, "On the contrary, Lord Lu has the talent to govern the country. As long as someone gives him some advice, the emperor will definitely let him take over other affairs."
If Lu Changzhou's official position changes, it will be difficult for him to continue living in the Princess's Mansion.
Zhong Nanyi felt that Baili Hong was truly her sweetheart, and after listening to him, she kissed him on the cheek.
With these two caring people, Zhong Nanyiyi suffered less anger in the Princess's Mansion.
As for Lu Changzhou, she will bring him back to the princess's mansion one day.
When the emperor in the palace learned about this, he found things even more interesting.
His royal sister does nothing else but indulges in love affairs. Fortunately, she is a woman, otherwise she might not even pass the throne to him.
Zhong Nanyiyi found some ministers in the court to make suggestions to the emperor. In addition, the emperor had the intention of fanning the flames. So during the morning court session the next day, he wanted to promote Lu Changzhou to be the Minister of Dali Temple, in charge of the entire Dali Temple.
Compared with the Minister of Rites who had no real power before, the Minister of Dali Temple has much greater power.
"My dear Minister Lu, why don't you accept the order?" Seeing Lu Changzhou standing still, the emperor thought he was too happy, so he urged him.
Even though Lu Changzhou did not want to take over the Dali Temple now, he had to kneel down and accept the order to express his gratitude.
The other court officials are all smart people. Lu Changzhou has always been a talented writer and has great potential. Now that he has escaped the position of son-in-law and is highly valued by His Majesty, he has a bright future. It is always a good idea to have a good relationship with him.
After the court session, Lu Changzhou went to the Ministry of Rites to hand over his official duties. His face was very calm, without any sign of joy at all.
The Minister of Rites had known that this day would come, so his face was full of smiles when he saw Lu Changzhou coming back. After all, Lu Changzhou had been promoted, and they had been colleagues for so long, so he might need Lu Changzhou's care in the future.
After Lu Changzhou had dealt with everything, he returned to the Princess's Mansion.
Seeing the lively scene in the mansion, she stopped a maid and asked, "What's the happy event in the mansion?"
"Your Highness... Lord Lu, the princess wants to celebrate the prince's birthday, so it's a bit lively." The maid replied and quickly retreated.
Lu Changzhou's position in the mansion is awkward now. As his former master, she is still a little afraid that Lu Changzhou will get angry.
