In the study, Xie Yan frowned and read the memorials in front of him. He raised his head when he heard a shadow coming in to report, "Please invite Mr. Ruan to the hall for tea."
"Yes." Duiying responded and was about to go out when Xie Yan asked: "Isn't Xiying back yet?"
Duiying shook his head and said: "Back to the prince, not yet."
"Ask him to come see me immediately when he comes back," Xie Yan said.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ruan Ting was sitting in the spacious but somewhat deserted lobby of the Regent's Palace, drinking tea. Although Ruan Ting, the current Prime Minister, rarely came to the Regent's Palace.
During the few visits he had made, the impression left on him by the Prince Regent's Mansion could only be described as cold, solemn and solemn.
It simply doesn't look like a mansion where people live, but more like a government office that is deserted in the evening or at night.
However, the Prince Regent's Palace is the highest-standard palace in the entire capital, and the area is naturally the largest. However, the only owners inside are Xie Yan, who has just returned, and Xie Chengyou, who cannot make the decision. It is inevitable that it will be deserted.
It seems that the Regent's Palace really needs a mistress, so it's no wonder that the Queen Mother is anxious.
Xie Yan strode in from the outside, and Ruan Ting already knew what he was doing at the first sight.
Xie Yan is in a bad mood, and today's conversation may not go well.
"Prime Minister Ruan is here, why?" Xie Yan just sat down and went straight to the topic without saying any greetings.
Ruan Ting was not uncomfortable with his acting style and said with a smile: "There are indeed some things that I want to discuss with the prince in person."
Xie Yan raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation. Ruan Ting thought about it before saying, "Last time I mentioned something to the prince, and the prince rejected me."
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat understanding Ruan Ting's intention.
But he didn't quite understand that Ruan Ting clearly didn't mean to force it at the time, and he even felt that Ruan Ting wasn't sincere when he mentioned it. Why did he change his mind now?
Ruan Ting obviously also knew Xie Yan's doubts, and said with some helplessness: "Ruan's incompetence in teaching his daughter made the prince laugh. Ruan knows that it is rare for a mediocre daughter to be favored by the prince. It's just... my unfilial daughter is stubborn and stubborn, so she made up her mind to do it again.
It is difficult to change. I know that the Queen Mother is worried about the prince's marriage, and the prince must not want her to worry about it. If the prince does not dislike it, my daughter can temporarily put the Queen Mother's heart at ease. If in the future... the prince has someone he is proud of, he can do it.
If I marry another bride, the Ruan family will have no complaints."
Xie Yan looked at Ruan Ting calmly, his eyebrows raised slightly, "Oh? If this king marries another bride, what will happen to your wife?"
Ruan Ting looked solemn and said in a cold voice: "My bad daughter is stubborn and refuses to listen to her parents. If there is any bitter consequences in the future, she will be responsible for it. Now I am trying to save her a glimmer of hope. What if it can happen in the future?"
It is her own creation. If the prince dislikes her in the future, divorces her, abandons her, or sends her to a temple for repair, the Ruan family will have no objection. Compared with letting her do something that disgrace the Ruan family, the above
The Ruan family can accept these."
These words were very ruthless. Ruan Yueli would not marry anyone other than Xie Yan, so as long as Ruan Yueli could be married off, the Ruan family would not mind whether she became an abandoned woman or was forced to become a nun and a Taoist priest in the future.
But Xie Yan's reaction after hearing this was very dull. He was neither moved by Ruan Yueli's affectionate persistence, nor did he angrily accuse Ruan Ting of being unworthy of being a father.
He held the teacup and was silent.
Ruan Ting stared at his calm and handsome face, but felt a little unsure in her heart.
He didn't want to deal with Xie Yan, let alone be his son-in-law, because Xie Yan was too unpredictable and difficult for him to grasp.
But her daughter was right, Xie Yan must not marry the Luo family!
In comparison, marrying your daughter to Xie Yan is not so unacceptable.
Ruan Ting was very disappointed with Ruan Yueli's daughter. Since she didn't listen to her father's instructions, she could be considered as repaying the favor of her parents by preventing the marriage between Xie Yan and the Luo family.
However, Xie Yan's reaction was too bland, letting him know that things might not go so smoothly.
It seems that we still have to work hard elsewhere. It would be best...the Ruan family first settles a marriage agreement with the Luo family.
But Luo Yun and his son are not easy to fool.
"Thank you, Prime Minister Ruan, for your attention." Xie Yan finally spoke slowly, and the answer was not beyond Ruan Ting's expectation, "I cannot afford the attention of Prime Minister Ruan and your love, so I ask Prime Minister Ruan to find another lover."
There was silence in the lobby. After a while, Ruan Ting just smiled bitterly and said, "I made the prince laugh."
"Don't dare."
Being rejected again, Ruan Ting was naturally embarrassed to sit for a long time, so he stood up and left after saying a few words.
"So, Xie Yan rejected you?"
In Nuanxinyuan, Luo Junyao, who was eating snacks, was choked by his brother's words and coughed repeatedly.
"Ahem...brother, cough..."
Luo Jinyan reached out and poured a glass of water and handed it over. Luo Junyao quickly took it and took a sip before he finally recovered. He raised his head and looked at his brother sitting opposite him with tearful eyes, "Brother, what are you doing..."
How did the eldest brother know that Xie Yan rejected her? Doesn't everyone in the capital know about it?
Luo Jinyan elegantly poured himself a cup of tea and said: "Don't worry, I just guessed that you should go to the Regent's Palace today. Looking at you... you don't look like a young girl who is in love. Then.
Naturally, I was rejected."
Luo Junyao looked at his eldest brother's smiling eyes with some depression, "Brother, are you here to see me having fun?"
Luo Jinyan smiled and said: "No, I just guessed that Xie Yan would definitely reject you."
"Why?"
Luo Jinyan thought for a while and said: "Because he is still a gentleman. To put it simply...he thinks too much."
"What's the meaning?"
Luo Jinyan said: "Shao Yao, do you really know what the position of Princess Regent represents?"
Luo Junyao blinked, "As for the princess, although there are not many princesses in the capital, there are still a few county princesses."
There are also those princesses from various countries in previous lives.
In Luo Junyao's impression, the princess either accompanies her husband to attend various public events and performs charity, or she is the favored, disfavored, cannon fodder or protagonist princess in palace dramas. After all, you can't expect the real one.
History will record in detail what princess's life story and great achievements.

Of course, there is no reference answer.
"Princess Dongling Rui?" Luo Jun said.
Luo Jinyan was startled, but quickly nodded and said: "Yes, since you are a student of Anlan Academy, you must also know the life of the princess. Although she was of mediocre origin, her abilities were outstanding. Not only could she assist her husband, but she also went to the battlefield in person.
, all kinds of great achievements are countless.”
Luo Jinyan looked at his sister lovingly, "Of course, it does not mean that every princess must have such achievements, but... the position of the regent princess today is not as easy as that of Princess Rui back then, or even more difficult. Xie Yan followed the late emperor
After his death, he was far away at the border. The power in the DPRK and the Central Government was scattered. Several auxiliary ministers had their own agendas. It was not that simple for him to completely control the situation. Furthermore, the Qi people were fierce by nature, and there was Bai Jingrong, who was full of hatred and was watching covetously.
, when the border war breaks out again is not something we can decide, but it depends on when the Qi tribe can raise troops to invade the Central Plains again. By then... Xie Yan may lead troops to go on an expedition again. It would be better if this time is further away,
Wait until His Majesty takes charge... But if it is just a few years later... As the Princess Regent, although she cannot directly participate in the political affairs of the court, the entire Prince Regent's Palace will be burdened by the Princess."
Luo Junyao whispered: "Even if His Majesty takes charge, it may not be a good thing, right?"
Luo Jinyan silently rubbed Luo Junyao's little head and said: "So, do you understand why Xie Yan rejected you? Yaoyao, are you really ready to be a regent princess? Instead of just being
Xie Yan’s wife? If Xie Yan were not in his current status, given his ability, I believe that if you marry him, he will protect you and keep you safe for the rest of your life. But now..."
Luo Junyao said: "Brother already knew this would happen, why do you still need me..."
Luo Jinyan said with a smile: "If you don't get the answer in person, you will inevitably feel regretful."
"..." Don't you feel regretful that your sister was rejected?
Luo Junyao said: "Brother and Xie Yan, you all think that I am not as powerful as Xie Anlan and cannot be the regent princess." How could she, Lan Mengmeng, lose to that nymphomaniac Xie Anlan!
Luo Jinyan sighed softly and said: "How could it be so? In the eyes of eldest brother, Yaoyao is the most powerful one. He still has the same attitude now. If you really want Xie Yan, eldest brother will still support you. After all, there is a better person than Xie Yan in this world."
It’s really hard to find a good person, and it’s not a bad thing to have high standards. Yao Yao is no worse than any other woman, and I believe you can do anything well.”
Although he knew that his elder brother was coaxing him, Luo Junyao was still very happy.
Luo Jinyan continued: "Brother just doesn't want you to endure hardship."
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes and suddenly felt his nose was a little sore, "Brother, you are so kind."
How lucky are you to meet such a family across time and space?
