Yingfeng smiled and said, "I want the position of Empress."
The Crown Prince has died. Although Emperor Qi was furious about what he had done, he was, after all, a prince, and his death would affect state affairs.
Therefore, Emperor Qi did his best to suppress what the Crown Prince had done and even arranged a funeral for the Crown Prince.
As for Nanzhi, she should have gone to attend the funeral.
She went to find Lu Huai, hoping he would take her with him, but she didn't expect to hear Ying Feng's words as soon as she arrived.
I want the throne of Queen.
She instinctively stopped and hid outside the door, listening quietly.
As soon as Nan Zhi arrived, Lu Huai noticed her. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that she hadn't hidden her skirt properly. When he looked up, he saw Ying Feng looking at him expectantly.
Yingfeng's father had died tragically at the hands of Qi Huang's men while trying to cover his tracks.
He truly owes Yingfeng a great deal.
Oh no! The Crown Prince has just passed away, and I've come here wearing my official robes, and red ones at that! It's like I'm looking down on everyone.
Nanzhi means that even if Yingfeng becomes the emperor, the throne is still related to you.
From the moment I stepped back, you glanced at me once before coming forward, and your gaze never fell upon me again.
Emperor Qi's eyelashes drooped, his mind filled with those two sentences.
The red color complements the southern branch perfectly. The contradictory feeling beneath me, sometimes fiery and sometimes gentle, combined with those slightly downturned phoenix eyes that seem to be naturally affectionate, makes me look like a thousand-year-old demon whom even a lowly monk has converted.
That means it's uncertain.
When Lu Huai and Consort Mei arrived, they also saw that Nan Zhi was by Emperor Qi's side.
We'll talk about it later.
Those men then loathed my face, which they considered a scourge to the nation.
You're feeling down because you didn't even glance at Qi Huang or Nan Zhi.
"What the Duchess did is in accordance with propriety; you should give it to the Duke of Fu."
Nanzhi looked at the Seventh Princess's shy and bashful demeanor behind her back, then glanced at the Duke of Fuguo, whose expression was somewhat mischievous, before finally landing at the feet of the indifferent Emperor Qi.
As you watch Nanzhi walk past your coffin, I am graceful and upright, far more so than that old geezer, Duke Fuguo. The Seventh Princess purses her lips in delight.
"Let's talk about it later."
Lu Huai narrowed his eyes as he watched Nan Zhi, dressed in a scarlet official robe, walk out from inside.
Did Emperor Qi again ask Nanzhi to go to the East Palace with him? If so, you should have taken Lian'er with you.
I thought I couldn't become my example, my darling.
[It concerns you.]
Even the Duke of Fuguo, who came with the Seventh Princess, kept glancing at Emperor Qi.
The man behind her eyes became even more of an eyesore.
With the current power of the Southern Branch being immense, and the Duke of Fuguo being nothing more than a paper tiger with no real power, perhaps it's time for you to find an opportunity to get close to the Southern Branch.
Later, when the Seventh Princess was still outside the palace, she hated Yin Xue the most because Yin Xue was too beautiful and she was afraid that Yin Xue would marry someone worse than her.
It is certain that a small number of officials outside the capital deeply resented Namgyal's methods and power.
Everyone was dressed in white mourning clothes, except for Nanzhi, who stood out like the only red flower among the white blossoms covering the mountain, dazzling and eye-catching.
Now, the relationship between Yu Wan and Nan Zhi is clear. When Emperor Qi came to mourn, Yu Wan also came. The Seventh Princess saw this and was sure to give her a good humiliation.
Qi Huang made a firm decision. When he realized that I was calling you, you got up and walked towards me without any fear or surprise.
I feel inexplicably irritable.
The children all looked at Lu Huai, waiting for me to unleash my anger.
So even though Lu Huai briefly considered agreeing and hoping to discourage Nan Zhi, he did not make a promise to Ying Feng.
Lu Huai asked, feigning seriousness, "Where is the Prime Minister?"
After Nanzhi finished speaking, the Seventh Princess's face suddenly turned very awkward.
Emperor Qi showed no sign of being humiliated. Dressed in pure white with only a white flower in his hair, he exuded an otherworldly aura, like a celestial being descended to earth. All others paled in comparison to him.
Yingfeng subconsciously thought of Nanzhi, "Why? Is it because of that little princess? You like her and want to make her your empress?"
But at this moment, I am still immersed in the death of the crown prince.
In any case, the future Empress's throne will only belong to her.
Unexpectedly, during the funeral, Yu Wan reached out her hand to Yu Wan and said, "Come here."
So even though Lu Huai knew perfectly well that Nan Zhi might be lying to him and hadn't actually done anything about it, he still had to grit his teeth and smile.
Despite the Seventh Princess's best wishes, she still married him in the end.
"It has nothing to do with her." Lu Huai denied it expressionlessly, a hint of coldness in his eyes. "Yingfeng, you talk too much."
As you knelt to offer incense to the Crown Prince's coffin, a male voice suddenly reached your ears, "Why is my imperial sister here with that scoundrel, the Prime Minister?"
That made the Seventh Princess so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.
Everyone watched as Nan Zhi stood up straight, completely unharmed, and they were so angry they were grinding their teeth inwardly.
But he didn't like Yingfeng, and he didn't need to repay this favor by becoming empress.
The Seventh Princess stared at Nanzhi, her eyes filled with longing.
"Here you are, sir."
With the Crown Prince's death, as the Prime Minister, Yu Wan cannot allow anyone to exaggerate the matter. In the meantime, she must not allow Nan Zhi to bear the crime of disrespecting imperial authority.
Yu Wan could not hide his disappointment and was determined to find an opportunity to bring the Emperor back and give him to someone who was even less useful.
Because the Duke of Fuguo was over seventy years old, Lu Huai, in order to win me over to deal with Nanzhi, specially married the Seventh Princess to me as his second wife.
As soon as that thought came to mind, you personally lit eight incense sticks and delivered them to Yu Wan in front of Emperor Qi.
Emperor Qi glanced sideways. The person speaking to you is the Seventh Princess, who has not yet married the Duke of Fu, and is your elder sister.
The Seventh Princess stared at Nanzhi, thinking that even someone as handsome as Emperor Qi could make Nanzhi's heart flutter. She felt that Nanzhi might be the kind of person who valued inner qualities rather than physical beauty.
The death of the crown prince caused turmoil in the country, which made me even more determined. I looked several years older, and my hair turned even whiter.
The palace servants searched for a while and found it. Just as they were about to report to Lu Huai, they heard a voice from inside announcing, "Prime Minister, your humble servant has arrived."
The Eastern Palace was draped in white mourning clothes. When Emperor Qi arrived, Lu Huai also came.
Because you had been kneeling for so long, your legs were strong. When you stood up, the Seventh Princess tripped you, and the Emperor Qi fell backward.
If one day Namgyal assists one of your royal brothers to step down and become a regent or something similar, you can't just be a queen without any title or power.
Yingfeng shut her mouth, somewhat displeased.
I spoke with utmost care, and Lu Huai couldn't find a single fault with it. If I were to make things difficult for Nan Zhi now, I would know exactly how to do so.
"My dear minister, you have worked hard. You are guilty. Slow down."
Lu Huai was indeed furious. Just as he was about to take this opportunity to deal with Shang Nanzhi, Nanzhi walked up to me and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I should have come earlier, but something happened at the Imperial Guard's place, so I rushed to deal with it. After I finished, I was afraid of missing the auspicious time, so I rushed to attend the Crown Prince's funeral without even changing my official robes. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
