"Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom? Prince of the Southern Kingdom, what are you doing with your Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom?
Besides, your presence here today proves that the throne of the Southern Kingdom will be yours in the future. You should know that you came to Shu today to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, and you are the crown prince." Xu Mengyun frowned.
Nangong Rui looked at Xu Mengyun and laughed sarcastically, "So you're just a frog in a well."
"You..." Xu Mengyun's heart was filled with rage, but he tried hard to suppress it, with an ugly smile on his face, "Let's not talk about whether you are the crown prince or not.
If it was my cousin, just an ordinary man, it wouldn't matter.
He is the prince of my Shuzhou State, not to mention in the future..."
"Mengyun!" The Queen Mother frowned unhappily.
Xu Mengyun immediately looked at the empress dowager and lowered her head without saying a word.
"Mengyun," the Queen Mother said, glancing at Chang'an. She still had a smile on her face, not a trace of anger on her face. She sighed and said, "You've been away for so many years, so now that you're back, there are some things you naturally don't know.
Your cousin-in-law, Gu Chang'an, is the granddaughter of the Southern Emperor, but the Southern Emperor has only one bloodline, Chang'an's mother. Chang'an's mother died, leaving only Chang'an.
In the eyes of the Southern Emperor, your cousin Chang'an is the crown prince of the Southern Kingdom.
This matter was clearly stated in the imperial edict issued by the Southern Emperor during their wedding."
"..." Xu Mengyun was surprised. She suspected that she had heard it wrong. When her gaze fell on Chang'an's face, especially when she met Chang'an's determined eyes.
Xu Mengyun suddenly found it difficult to breathe, as if someone was choking her throat.
He frowned and took a deep breath.
"For some women, love is a lifelong thing. If it's taken away by someone else, it's naturally hard to bear." Xu Mengyun looked at Chang'an, "But many things don't go as one wishes. If the result is not what you expected, how will my cousin-in-law deal with it?"
Chang'an asked herself similar questions countless times in her heart, but there was no answer. The only thing she could answer herself was that her father would not make a mistake in choosing someone.
Changan looked up at Bei Mingxuan and smiled mischievously, three parts ruffian and seven parts teasing, "Your Highness's ability to attract bad peach blossoms is unquestionable.
But my answer is very simple. Pick one flower at a time. Pick a pair at a time.
If it continues without end, I will have no choice but to remove the root that attracts the peach blossoms."
Bei Mingxuan listened to Chang'an's words and smiled with satisfaction, "This approach is quite neat."
However, Chang'an's statement was exactly what Xu Mengyun was thinking.
She understood the Queen Mother. Even if she loved Chang'an, she would still want Bei Mingxuan to have more women around him for the sake of the royal offspring.
If Bei Mingxuan really inherits the throne, the empress dowager will be even more disgusted with Chang'an's behavior. This is what Xu Mengyun is certain of, and it is also what the empress dowager hopes for.
I hope that the descendants of the Beiming clan will prosper and continue forever.
Sure enough, when the Queen Mother heard Chang'an's words, the smile on her face slowly disappeared. Although she was not angry, her eyes revealed dissatisfaction.
Chang'an saw it clearly, and Bei Mingxuan also understood it.
Chang'an's mood seemed to be affected, and he put away the smile on his face. "Grandma, there are some things that need to be done. Ultimately, I am more anxious now. After all, Chang'an understands some of Grandma's thoughts. My eldest brother and fourth brother are very worried about our father's physical and mental health."
Chang'an's last words completely woke the empress dowager up.
She felt a little regretful that she was arguing with Chang'an about the woman around Xuan'er at this time.
I was really spared by this girl Mengyun.
The Queen Mother looked at Nangong Rui and asked, "Prince Nangong, why didn't I see that? Where are your 60,000 troops?"
"..." Sixty thousand troops? Chang'an looked at Nangong Rui in surprise.
What's the meaning.
Bei Mingxuan also frowned.
Nangong Rui sneered, "I, the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom, am unwilling to make wedding clothes for others, and so am I, Nangong Rui.
Even though you and my emperor have a good personal relationship.
But no matter what, I can never replace the position of my Southern Kingdom Crown Prince in my Emperor's heart."
The Queen Mother smiled awkwardly, knowing that Nangong Rui was referring to Chang'an. "Well, let this old woman worry about nothing."
Nangong Rui looked at Bei Mingxuan at this time, "Now, the Shuzhou Emperor's health has become a secret that is no longer a secret. So, the Southern Emperor wants to take over your 60,000 troops. I wonder what Prince Xuan thinks of this?"
Bei Mingxuan did not answer immediately. He took the pot of wine from his waist and took a sip.
After a long while, he finally spoke, "What does your Southern Emperor want?"
"If you glare at the throne." Nangong Rui just looked into Bei Mingxuan's eyes, "Xu, there is only one woman, Chang'an, in the harem."
"Ridiculous!" the Queen Mother immediately objected.
Nangong Rui glared at the Queen Mother with dissatisfaction, "You don't agree? Fine. Then when Chang'an sets her sights on the throne of the Southern Kingdom, she can have any man she wants. All men in the world will be hers to choose from to fill her harem."
Hearing Nangong Rui's words, Chang'an felt so sweet in his heart.
She suppressed her smile and blinked her eyes as she looked at Bei Mingxuan.
Especially when he saw Bei Mingxuan, his face drooped and his eyes were full of anger.
"Are you angry or jealous?" Chang'an sent a voice message to Bei Mingxuan, his voice full of ridicule, "Could it be that my grandfather is wrong? With my stunning beauty, can't I do it? If you betray me, I don't mind going to the Southern Kingdom, sitting in a harem, surrounded by handsome men..."
"Okay." Bei Mingxuan agreed, "Fu Cheng, prepare the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."
"yes."
Bei Mingxuan wrote, "In this life, whether I am a commoner, a royal family member, or the ruler of a country, the only woman by my side is Gu Shi Chang'an. If I betray her, I will not die a peaceful death."
The signature was stamped with his personal seal. It didn't matter whether he needed these soldiers in the days to come.
The important thing is to let the Queen Mother understand that she needs to rely on the power behind Chang'an. The Queen Mother has more right people and needs to be better to Chang'an, even better...
Seeing this, Chang An smiled and looked at him with affection in his eyes, "Bei Mingxuan, I suddenly realized that you are so beautiful and charming. I can't take my eyes off you..."
Bei Mingxuan chuckled, his eyes full of doting, and raised his hand to pinch the tip of her nose, "It's my honor to have you so fascinated by me."
Xu Mengyun, who was standing aside, looked at Bei Mingxuan and Chang'an. She wanted to speak, but her reason told her that she couldn't say anything.
Moreover, she also noticed that there was no anger or worry in the Empress Dowager's eyes at this moment, only helplessness and envy.
The more this happens, the more she needs to stay calm and look for opportunities to take action.
Thinking in her heart, a smile appeared on her face, "Queen Mother, you see that my cousin and his wife have such a good relationship, it is really enviable. If I am lucky, Mengyun also wants to find a man who can be with Mengyun for the rest of her life."
