After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 242: He refused to give in, even for a concubine position

When Nan Baoyi woke up, the lights were on in the room.

The palace maid raised the curtain respectfully and said softly: "Your Majesty has gone out for something. He specially asked the kitchen to stew bird's nest porridge and your favorite side dishes for you. Do you want to eat it now?"

Nan Baoyi washed up briefly and simply tied the ends of her hair with red silk.

The palace maid brought the food table, and when she looked at it, she saw that it was all her favorite dishes, and it also came with soup and several kinds of pastries made by the palace. It must have been ordered by her second brother early in the morning.

He always took care of her with great care and attention.

Nan Baoyi finished the dinner with a smile and asked while washing her hands: "Where have you been, Your Majesty?"

"This slave doesn't know either. It looks like he's heading northwest."

Nan Baoyi put down her towel and pushed the door open.

She walked northwest along the Chaoshou corridor, and not far away she saw Shi Yan guarding outside Baoxia.

She looked at the flower window with a warm yellow light, and there were many figures behind the Korean paper. She could distinguish the figure standing out among the chickens under the lamp at a glance.

She walked up the steps holding her skirt.

He opened a gap.

She leaned forward and looked.

There were several senior Jiangnan officials sitting in the room, their faces slightly gloomy.

The second brother was sitting in the main seat, drinking tea in a very leisurely and lazy manner.

I don’t know how long it took, but those officials finally couldn’t hold it any longer: “The conditions we proposed are already quite generous. We will lead our troops to support His Majesty in conquering Jiangnan and hand over Shen Jiang to the court. And all His Majesty has to do is marry a Jiangnan woman. Later. Why doesn’t His Majesty accept it?”

Nan Baoyi raised his eyebrows.

The new emperor's harem is vacant, and the position of queen has undoubtedly become a concern for the aristocratic families.

If you can send your own daughter to the palace to become a queen, and then give birth to your eldest son, then the future of your family will be immeasurable...

Beside her, Shi Yan stared at her.

The light from the palace lanterns under the eaves fell on her body, making the girl look incomparably more delicate and graceful than when she was a child.

The truly blessed woman is their princess.

He whispered: "We have been talking for a long time, but His Majesty is still unwilling to give in, even if it is a concubine. Princess, Your Majesty treats you wholeheartedly."

Nan Baoyi arched his eyebrows.

Although he is happy for his second brother's favor, territory is also very important. If his second brother is so unwilling to cooperate, can he successfully win Jiangnan?

She continued to listen.

Xiao Yi caressed the tea cup slowly: "Putting the future of the family on women, is this what you are capable of? Look at Yuchi, he is firmly sitting on the throne of the first family in Jiangnan, does he have any hope of relying on his daughter to fight for power? You use your resources to cultivate the children of your clan, but in the end you plan to use your daughters in exchange for power..."

Maybe it was because he got a little princess, so he sneered with disdain without concealing it, looking down on these aristocratic families even more.

Several senior officials were blushing and speechless for a moment.

Xiao Yi didn't think it was enough, so he continued: "I also have a little princess under my knees, but I just want her to grow up in peace and prosperity. I will never trade her for territory and power. We are both fathers. As far as you are concerned,

The son is a treasure, but the daughter is just a commodity? "

He was filled with pride when he mentioned the little princess.

He constantly ridiculed these officials, making them feel ashamed.

Perhaps the stimulation was overdone, and they all stood up with grim faces: "If His Majesty refuses, then we have nothing to say! Let's just pretend that today's negotiation does not exist!"

They were about to walk out when Xiao Yi covered the teacup and tapped the table with his fingers: "Come when you want, leave when you want. What kind of place do you think this is?"

Everyone was dissatisfied: "Today's state banquet, both sides have issued no-war cards. If Your Majesty chooses this time to attack defenseless people like us, I'm afraid everyone in the world will look down on you."

Xiao Yi raised his eyes and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, not only will I not attack you, I will also send my confidants to personally deliver you to the banquet building and to Yuchi Changgong."

His voice is gentle.

But it gave officials goosebumps.

If they were sent back by Xiao Daoyan's people, wouldn't it be equivalent to directly telling Yuchi Changgong that they had met with Xiao Daoyan in private? !

Yuchi Changgong will kill them!

Everyone frowned in disbelief: "Your Majesty..."

Xiao Daoyan made tea calmly, but it brought them inexplicable pressure.

Everyone's expressions became even uglier: "Forgiveness is to leave an impression of tolerance and generosity on us. The navy's acting is to make us panic and make us want to surrender to you. But your real purpose is not to conquer us. , instead of negotiating with us, they are using this meeting to force us to betray Yuchi Changgong..."

Queen Shen has been running Chang'an for many years.

In the past, they didn't understand how she lost to Xiao Daoyan.

Tonight, I understand.

The young man under the lamp looks beautiful, but the city under the skin is a bit too scary...

Xiao Yi poured the tea soup into the tea bowl and poured the remaining tea soup on the tea toys. His finger joints were clearly long and white, and his tea-pouring movements were pleasing to the eye.

He said casually: "Everyone, you can make a choice."

Dark clouds cover the moon, and the night is dark.

The thousands of lights in Xianhe Tower were like a dazzling dragon palace, standing on Jiangxin Continent, attracting a series of agile black shadows, and soon fell into the circle of black shadows.

Ning Wanzhou stood outside the Crane Tower.

Across the courtyard shaded by flowers and trees, you can clearly see the open door of the hall, with copper cranes and golden branches and lamps crisscrossing each other. A beautiful woman in purple clothes is sitting inside, chatting and laughing in a low voice with the officials who came to show their courtesy.

She killed so many people, but she was still able to talk and laugh among the stars!

The hand holding the narrow knife tightened again and again.

A confidant came over quietly and whispered: "Master, Your Majesty is still in the back garden. Now our people have surrounded the Crane Tower, just waiting for your order. But... Shen Jiang is the mother of the emperor after all, and you killed her rashly Isn’t she afraid of the Emperor’s wrath?”

Ning Wanzhou's face was expressionless.

He still clearly remembered the bloody night banquet at the Zhenguo Palace.

It was the day he got married, and his parents couldn't tell how happy they were for him, but Shen Jiang chose that day and used despicable means to kill his parents.

There is no way to forgive!

He suppressed his hatred and said coldly: "Get the bow and arrow."

He remembered that his parents were shot to death by countless bows and arrows in the dark.

They didn't even get to drink the tea served by the bride, or even get to see their future grandchild.

How desperate must they have been at that time?

He picked up the bow and arrows presented by his attendants.

He picked up the bow and arrow with skillful and relaxed movements.

The cold arrow flashed with cold light, pointing directly at the woman chatting and laughing in the hall——

"Wait a minute."

A calm voice suddenly came from the darkness.

Ning Wanzhou looked at him coldly.

A middle-aged man in snow-white uniforms came slowly from the veranda. He gently rubbed his forehead and looked helpless, but his demeanor was cold and elegant. It was obvious that he wanted to save Shen Jiang, and there was no room for bargaining. .
