Being favored by the paranoid master, the whole imperial capital kneels down

The prince's birthday is a big event.

Although Emperor Bai Jing never attended, the Queen would hold a banquet in the palace every year.

All women of marriageable age would enter the palace on this day.

Especially this year, the prince has reached the age to choose a concubine.

Originally everyone thought that the Crown Princess would definitely be Chu Jingyue.

After all, Chu Jingyue often appeared in public with the prince and often regarded herself as the prince's consort.

However, the Chu family was stripped of their titles, and Chu Jingyue's position as Crown Princess was in jeopardy.

Therefore, the noble ladies from various families are working hard this year to make a splash at the prince's birthday banquet.

The queen was in the palace, combing her hair while listening to the lady-in-waiting reading out the list of noble ladies.

She suddenly opened her eyes and asked the maid,

"Is there anyone here with the surname Nan?"

The female official was stunned. "Your Majesty, there is no noble lady with the surname Nan."

The confidant nanny beside him asked cautiously:

"Madam, do you have a girl in mind?"

"But didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that he wanted to marry that Bai girl as his Crown Princess?"

When the queen heard the name "White Girl", she looked disgusted.

"A fisherwoman dreams of becoming a princess?"

"Her dream was too beautiful."

As if she had thought of something, the Queen raised her head and told the female official,

"Go and ask around in the imperial capital to see if there's any noblewoman with the surname Nan."

Seeing the confidant's curious face, the queen lowered her voice and said,

"Have you heard of the Nan family of the previous dynasty? And Princess Raochen?"

The trusted nanny has heard of these two.

There are even many rumors in the palace that the Nan family still exists today because its family background is too great.

It also possesses several times more wealth than the entire Great Sheng Dynasty.

In order to avoid attracting attention due to its size, this thousand-year-old family hid behind the Great Prosperity Dynasty.

In order to maintain the relationship with the Nan family, the king of the Dasheng Dynasty would marry a woman from the royal family into the Nan family every year.

Once entering the Nan family, this royal woman will disappear.

From then on, it was as if this person no longer existed in the world.

The confidant nanny seemed to remember a person named Princess Raochen.

"I still remember that Princess Raochen is your Majesty's biological sister and has a very good relationship with the Empress."

At that time, the Queen had just entered the palace, and Princess Raochen often came to visit the Queen to have fun.

But suddenly one day, Princess Raochen disappeared.

The queen initially scolded her for two days, but later she gradually stopped caring about her.

After all, there are countless secrets hidden in this deep palace.

If you want to thoroughly understand everything around you, it will take a lot of time.

Sometimes, even if you spend time and money, you may not be able to understand the whole story.

"Over the years, I have also heard some rumors that Princess Raochen was sent to the Nan family by His Majesty."

The Queen whispered to her confidante,

"The Nan family is wealthy and powerful, and they control an unknown amount of the entire Great Sheng Dynasty."

"What I mean is..."

She wants to marry into the Nan family.

None of the noble ladies in the imperial capital is worthy of her son.

You know, her son is the crown prince of the Great Sheng Dynasty and the future ruler.

If his son could marry the daughter of the Nan family, his position would be more secure in the future.

With the support of the Nan family's power and wealth, her son will surely become a wise leader.

"But."

The confidant nanny had received a jade pendant from Chu Jingyue last time. She touched the jade pendant in her sleeve.

"But, that girl from the Chu family..."

"She? A slut who can be slept with by anyone. How can she be the Crown Princess?"

Even if the Queen wanted Bai Luoluo to be the Crown Princess, she would not let Chu Jingyue take the throne.

Don't think that she knows nothing just because she has lived in the deep palace for a long time.

Chu Jingyue hadn't married the prince yet, but in order to hook up with him, she dared to stay overnight in the Eastern Palace.

It was also mentioned in Censor Feng's note that when the concubine of the Chu family was making a fuss, she also said that Chu Jingyue was having an affair with the Tenth Prince.

Although this is just a concubine's words, there is no actual evidence.

But it was obvious that Chu Jingyue's reputation had been ruined.

Her figure has lost its value.

The Chu family's title was also revoked because of this incident.

It would be difficult for a woman like this to enter the Eastern Palace.

The female official who had returned came in with the list in her hand and said respectfully:

"Madam, this time the list has been verified, and there is no girl with the surname Nan."

"But there's a country girl named Nan in the imperial capital."

The Queen said impatiently, "You dare bring up this kind of country girl?"

There are so many people with the same surname in the world.

But not every family with the surname "Nan" can compare with the thousand-year-old Nan family.

The female official said hurriedly, "This Nan Chuzheng is not an ordinary country girl, she is the legitimate daughter of the Chu family."

"Although it doesn't look like anything special, it's said to have a special relationship with Yama."

"She also entered the palace today, but she was playing in the imperial garden."

The forces in the imperial capital are so intertwined and complex that anything that is known by the servants in the house will not be a secret.

At least it will be an open secret.

After listening to what the female official said, I found out the details about Nan Chuzheng.

The trusted nanny immediately flew into a rage, "She wasn't even invited, how did she get into the palace?"

"She entered the palace but didn't come to pay her respects to the Empress. Does she even have the Empress in her eyes?"

The Queen stood up immediately and said, "It's her. I have a feeling it must be her."

How could an ordinary country girl possibly make the Yama people listen to her?

How could he enter the palace without being summoned?

This Nan Chuzheng must be from the Nan family.

The Queen ordered, "Let her come. I want to see her."

"No, no, don't tell her anything. I'll go see her myself."

If Nan Chuzheng really has a relationship with the Nan family, then she doesn't want to come to see the queen.

The queen had no way to deal with her.

She couldn't offend anyone from the Nan family, at least not make enemies with them.

The confidante wanted to say something, but seeing that the queen had made up her mind, she could only follow the queen to the imperial garden.

Nan Chuzheng did enter the palace.

But she wasn't here to play, she was here to watch the fun up close.

In an uninhabited rockery and stone forest, Nan Chuzheng was walking through with gold, silver, copper and iron.

A pair of arms reached out from the side, picked up her waist and placed her directly on the stone beside her.

"what."

Nan Chuzheng looked at Nan Chenrao who was wearing a mask.

"Master, why are you here?"

Nan Chenrao raised his finger and flicked Nan Chuzheng's forehead.

"I'll come to check in."

He has to report for duty wherever he goes now.

Going to Yama's Palace to earn monthly wages, and going to the palace to see Emperor Bai Jing every few days is a routine matter.

Nan Chuzheng quietly lifted the mask on the head of the family and looked at his face from the side.

"His Majesty has entrusted you with the affairs of state, and this is how you treat them perfunctorily? Hmm?"

Nanchen Rao pinched her waist and picked her up.

"Because I don't want to be perfunctory with you."

People have only one heart, and it is focused on one place.

The rest has become boring and mediocre.

Nan Chenrao didn’t know how other men lived.

He only knew that the zither was his passion.
