Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Nan Rongxin is not a fool, he also guessed it was the latter.

Meng Xiyue probably knew that Nan Rongzhi was a girl, so she was not in a hurry to marry her.

She used this to delay herself and prevent herself and those aristocratic families from hindering her development.

She was able to become the richest person in Nanrong Kingdom in just two years. This was due to the efforts of King Zhennan as well as her own.

But she chose to help Nan Rongzhi, which fooled both him and Uncle Wang.

Nan Rongxin's eyes darkened. When the mission was accomplished today, he would not forgive her.

Meng Xiyue didn't care what he thought. Everything would be settled today anyway, and she no longer had the heart to act.

She walked up to Nan Rongzhi and whispered, "Happy birthday."

She took out a pin made of a five-star gold coin and gave it to her as a birthday present.

Seeing this, Nan Rongzhi smiled knowingly, "Thank you, help me bring it."

The golden seal, worn on the chest, shines brightly like the brightest star in the sky.

Others didn’t understand the meaning of this star. They just thought that Meng Xiyue was so rich, but she only gave such a shabby gift.

I wondered if she was resentful because she saw that I had no hope of becoming the Crown Prince's concubine.

"You brought the stuff with you, right?"

Nan Rongzhi leaned close to her ear and asked in a low voice.

After receiving a positive response, he reminded, "Be sure to protect your own safety."

"I know, don't worry about me."

Originally, Nan Rongzhi didn't want Meng Xiyue to come today, thinking that if it succeeded, it would be great, but if not, she would let her and Wu Feng leave Nanrong Country.

But Meng Xiyue disagreed. It was already the most critical moment, and she had to advance and retreat together with her. Moreover, if she did not show up at such an important moment, it would inevitably arouse other people's suspicion.

Whatever the reason, she had to be there.

As for Wu Feng, he probably guessed that something was wrong in the capital today, so he insisted on coming with her.

Her seat was right behind Nan Rongxin. She walked past, nodded to the eldest prince's wife, and then walked to her seat.

From beginning to end, she and the eldest prince had no communication at all.

Nan Rongxin seemed not to notice her and was fiddling with the wine glass in his hand.

"The Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived, and the Concubine Jing has arrived."

The emperor walked in, supported by the queen.

Concubine Jing followed the two men, walking slowly, but compared to her previous arrogance, her steps were a little unsteady and she looked uneasy.

Maybe he was afraid of what would happen next.

The emperor and the empress looked calm, with unconcealable joy in their eyes and brows, as if they had no idea what would happen next.

They were just happy that their daughter had a birthday.

This was the first time that Nan Rongzhi celebrated her birthday as a girl. The emperor attached great importance to it and rewarded her with countless treasures in one go.

"Zhi'er, you are the Crown Princess. Although you are a daughter, you cannot be delicate and willful. You shoulder the hope of the entire Nanrong Kingdom. You must not fail my trust in the future."

"I understand, and I will keep my father's teachings in mind."

The emperor nodded and looked at Nan Rongxin again, "Xin'er."

"Father."

Nan Rong Xin was still indignant at his father's stubbornness, but when he was suddenly called, he didn't react for a moment and almost lost his composure.

He forced a smile and looked at the emperor who was sitting high.

"Xin'er, you are the eldest. Although you are not the crown prince, you are still my elder brother. I know you are dissatisfied with my decision, but now that things have come to this, you should let it go."

The emperor's words made everyone present look stiff. Although the emperor had always known about the dispute over the crown prince, he had never pointed it out. Why did he say it out loud in front of everyone today?

Everyone was wondering what the emperor meant by this action.

When Nan Rongxin heard this, he suddenly didn't want to endure it anymore. He raised his eyes to meet the emperor's gaze and asked in a trembling voice.

"Father, why can't it be me? She is a woman, how can she handle such a big responsibility?"

In response to his question, the emperor coughed violently twice. Seeing this, the queen quickly calmed him down and said, "Your Majesty, drink some water."

The emperor shook his head and took a deep breath. "You want an answer, then I will tell you that I am partial to the Queen and Zhi'er, but more importantly, you are not suitable. Although you are scheming and strategic, you are controlled by the aristocratic family. You only see the interests and cannot see the suffering of the people. If you ascend the throne, Nanrong Kingdom will really come to an end."

"Nonsense, I am the man of destiny. Nanrong Kingdom will only become stronger in my hands. My father is weak and incompetent, and Nanrongzhi is just a woman. No one is more worthy of that position than me."

Nan Rongxin said in a somewhat crazy way that what he said about him not being suitable was just an excuse from his father, he was just partial.

He is obviously the eldest prince and this position should belong to him. He just wants to get his position back. What's wrong with that?

"Xin'er..."

Concubine Jing stood up suddenly, glared at Nan Rongxin, and said in a trembling voice, "Don't be rude to your father."

"At this point, there's nothing to pretend anymore." Nan Rongxin smiled indifferently and asked a final question.

"Father, are you determined to pass the throne to Nan Rongzhi?"

"Yes, Nan Rongzhi is the future king of Nanrong Kingdom."

The emperor's firm words echoed in every corner of the hall, shocking many people.

"Well, if that's the case, don't blame me, your son, for my treasonous behavior."

After saying this, Nan Rongxin looked sinister and suddenly threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

As the cups shattered, countless soldiers rushed in from outside the hall, all holding swords, and surrounded the people in the hall.

"Nan Rongxin, are you planning a rebellion?"

Nan Rongzhi stood up, his face grim, "Where are the guards?"

"The Imperial Guards can't even protect themselves now." Nan Rongxin sneered. "I'm not forcing the emperor to abdicate. I'm just asking for permission."

"The rule of Nanrong Kingdom must not be handed over to a woman like you, otherwise the world will be in turmoil. I hope that father can take back the order to make Nanrongzhi the crown princess."

"Your Majesty, please withdraw your order."

Prime Minister Zhao stepped forward, knelt down and asked for permission.

The eldest prince's supporters all knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please withdraw your order."

The emperor looked at the courtiers below, then at the soldiers around him, and shouted angrily, "How can you ask for my order? You are clearly forcing me to abdicate. What if I don't agree?"

"Father, please don't force me. I just want you to take back your decision. I have no other intentions. But if you insist on being stubborn, then I will be unfilial."

Nan Rongxin sighed, "I don't want to go this far, but there is no other way. Father has been deceived by a traitor, and someone has to stand up and make him wake up."

"It's obviously you who is stubborn and refuses to change." The emperor pointed at him tremblingly, "It's not too late for you to wake up now."
