The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Chengen's family cannot make her own decisions about her marriage; would her cheap uncle agree to it?
Her uncle was neither literate nor skilled in martial arts.
But this is precisely the kind of person who has an astonishingly bad temper, as if the whole world should cater to him.
What's worse is that he's more arrogant than anyone else, and his self-esteem is extremely high.
With such a personality and background, how could he accept the outcome of letting his carefully raised daughter's marriage be out of his control?
I'm afraid that just thinking about this will make them fly into a rage and cause a huge uproar!
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering its deeper meaning with thoughtful contemplation.
A moment later, he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, "You're so indifferent, talking as if he's not your uncle!"
Rong Ning tilted her head slightly, a hint of indifference flashing across her pretty face, and replied softly, "I don't usually have much interaction with him..."
And to be honest, I have absolutely no interest in him whatsoever!
After a pause, she continued, "However, you are the Crown Prince. In the imperial court, there may be times when you need someone's help."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince raised an eyebrow, his gaze revealing an air of authority, and said loudly, "Hmph! So what if he really is our uncle?"
I am the crown prince of a country, while he is merely a subject.
The mere existence of the relationship between ruler and subject was enough to silence him, preventing him from daring to utter the slightest misbehavior!
That sounds pretty domineering!
Rong Ning couldn't help but smack her lips, teasing with a half-smile, "Oh ho, how come you're showing some potential to be a tyrant or a fool?"
The Crown Prince smiled slightly, a hint of confidence and wisdom flashing in his eyes, and slowly said, "Ah Ning, don't overthink it."
I could never play the roles of a tyrant or a foolish ruler.
As someone in a position of power, I know perfectly well where the bottom line lies.
To govern the world, one needs a benevolent heart, but one must not be overly kind. If one's heart is too soft, it may harm oneself in the future.
However, one must not be too autocratic and dictatorial, turning a deaf ear to the advice of others.
These are principles that my father has carefully taught me since I was a child, so you have no need to worry that I will become an incompetent ruler.
Well……? ?
Rong Ning blinked in confusion, wondering to herself: Was this person really praising her?
Rong Ning raised her hand and gently stroked her forehead, saying slowly, "I'm not curious at all about how Father taught you."
After all, I'm already so grown up, and he's hardly ever put any effort into teaching me, so I wouldn't understand what you're saying anyway.
"I'm just curious, how do you plan to explain Bai Fu's entry into Phoenix Academy to our good-for-nothing uncle?"
As she said this, she raised her eyebrows slightly, a playful expression on her face.
The crown prince, however, remained completely calm and replied nonchalantly, "What's there to explain?"
From a certain perspective, Bai Fu's ability to become a female teacher at Phoenix Academy is a good thing that brings glory to the Marquis of Chengen's mansion.
As long as he wasn't solely focused on using Bai Fu to curry favor with powerful families, then Bai Fu's choice would absolutely be beneficial to the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion.
Throughout history, emperors who held high positions and wielded power over the world were all wary of the growing influence of their maternal relatives.
After all, if the power of the maternal relatives becomes overwhelming, it is very likely to threaten the stability of the throne and the peace of the dynasty.
However, the family of the Crown Prince's birth mother could not be too humble or poor, otherwise it would inevitably cause controversy and damage the royal family's reputation.
In this way, the current situation of the Marquis of Chengen's mansion can be described as just right.
Whether the younger generation in this Marquis's mansion truly possesses extraordinary abilities and can achieve earth-shattering feats is not necessarily true.
However, to say that they were all mediocre and worthless would be an exaggeration.
These young people were in a limbo: they were neither outstanding nor hopeless.
This situation is undoubtedly the most ideal.
To put it simply, it means it is easy to control and manipulate.
This is why the emperor could feel at ease with the Marquis of Chengen's residence.
If the Marquis of Chengen, as the Crown Prince's maternal uncle, continues to be obsessed with using inter-family marriages to expand the influence and sphere of influence of the Marquis of Chengen's mansion, then the Emperor will probably be displeased!
Rong Ning frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before nodding gently, seemingly agreeing in her heart. "Hmm... it does seem to make sense. That makes a lot of sense."
The brother and sister chatted enthusiastically for a long time, and before they knew it, lunch was ready.
Rong Ning turned to look at A Ying, who was standing quietly to the side, and gently instructed, "A Ying, why don't you go and ask Xie Xizhu if she would like to have lunch with me?"
Aying accepted the order and left. She returned shortly afterward and reported to Rong Ning, "Miss, Miss Xie said she is unable to come. Thank you for your kindness."
Seeing this, the Crown Prince couldn't help but become curious and asked, "What's going on? Why would Xie Xizhu refuse to dine with you?"
Seeing his gossipy look, Rong Ning felt helpless and gave a general account of her conversation with Xie Xizhu.
