Chapter 267 The Princess Wants This Prince to Be Inhumane 34
These crappy things are just a headache, her Nan Li is still the best.
Lin Zhiyi looked at Gongsun Yi seriously and asked, "I want to hear the truth. Are you really not interested in the throne? Are you willing to be my wife for the rest of your life, supporting me and raising my children?"
Gongsun Yi raised an eyebrow: "It's all right to be a good wife and mother, but does Zhizhi have to have only one wife for life and get rid of all those damned things in the capital?"
Lin Zhiyi wondered, is this referring to the Seventh Prince or Ling Yan?
"This prince really dislikes life in the capital. After this experience, I will most likely never return to the capital. Are you sure you want to stay in Nanli?"
"Wherever Zhizhi is, that will be my home in the future."
The word "home" moved Lin Zhiyi for a moment. She smiled gently and kissed Gongsun Yi's red lips. She had a wife to pamper in her life, which was quite interesting.
Before dawn, the two began their journey, heading straight towards Nanli.
I don’t know if it was because the Snow Country’s Prince was powerful, or if her grandfather had stopped, but there was really no pursuit along the way.
Nanli is a beautiful place with beautiful scenery. It was daytime when the two of them entered the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city stopped the carriage as usual. Lin Zhiyi opened the door and said with a smile, "Little Li, long time no see."
The soldier froze, then exclaimed in ecstasy, "Prince! The Prince is back!"
The loud voice attracted a lot of people's attention. When the soldiers saw Lin Zhiyi in person, they greeted him warmly, and the villagers at the city gate were also very happy.
Gongsun Yi stood next to Lin Zhiyi and was stared at curiously all the way into the city.
Some children even asked directly: "Prince, who is this woman? She looks so beautiful."
Lin Zhiyi looked around and said with a smile: "She is my prince's consort, and also the Princess Jinyang of the Great Jin. She will live in the palace in the future. Everyone, please recognize her face."
Everyone responded in unison, and the atmosphere was lively. Nanli... was completely different from the capital.
Holding Gongsun Yi's hand, Lin Zhiyi smiled and said, "Do you feel like there's no hierarchy here? Actually, it's not true. No one will refuse our father's orders, and the people's obedience is far higher than in the capital."
"That's because they believe from the bottom of their hearts that our father didn't do this to harm everyone's interests. There must be a reason for it. This prince was young and sick, but he was not confined at home."
"Little Li, who was guarding the city gate just now, and many people of my age were once my playmates. I even had lunch at their homes."
Gongsun Yi was really surprised. This was the first time he had seen such an environment in this imperial class.
After a long while, he could only say: "No wonder the Prince of Zhennan never cares about the affairs of the capital, but His Majesty is always uneasy. Nanli is like this, let alone a million soldiers, even double the number is not a problem..."
This is not a joke. It is naturally possible for the whole nation to be united as one and for all the people to become soldiers. Moreover, this kind of loyalty is not out of fear of imperial power. You can imagine how terrifying this cohesive force is.
Not in a hurry to return to the palace, Lin Zhiyi took Gongsun Yi for a walk on the main street until Yanxia and Chengbi, who had already returned to Nanli, came up to them, and then they returned to the palace.
Lin Zhiyi summoned everyone in the palace.
Pointing to the person beside him, he said, "This is the Crown Prince's Consort, the future mistress of the palace. From now on, the management of this Crown Prince's courtyard will be handed over to the Crown Prince's Consort. Later, the Crown Prince's Consort's people will come to Nanli. You will follow her orders on how to arrange it."
"Your servant/slave obeys your order and greets the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess." Everyone said in unison.
Lin Zhiyi looked at Gongsun Yi with pride. The feeling of being given status in return made Lin Zhiyi very happy.
When the two returned to Lin Zhiyi's courtyard, Gongsun Yi said meaningfully, "If you delegate power like this, aren't you afraid that I will sideline you?"
Lin Zhiyi snorted and laughed, "Just do whatever you want. My father doesn't like to be in charge of things. If you like to be in power, you can manage the palace in the future. This prince and my father are just free to fight cocks and walk birds."
As he spoke, he bowed solemnly: "The future development of Nanli is entrusted to you. Thank you for your hard work, madam."
Yanxia and Chengbi couldn't help laughing. At this point, Gongsun Yi's gender was no longer a secret to them.
Gongsun Yi took Zhizhi in his arms and said, "Since your husband has asked such a request, I will not let you down. However... it's not impossible for me to be a little busier. What does the prince say?"
A large hand landed on her lower abdomen. Zhizhi paused and smiled, "The royal palace's bloodline is indeed a little thin. My congenital deficiency has disappointed the generals of the Zhennan Army. It's time to give them some hope."
Gongsun Yi couldn't suppress the smile on his face and kissed those curved eyebrows...
Unable to bear the torture of his mother when he was young, he sneaked out of the palace and hid in the dark, watching children of the same age being spoiled by their parents. At that time, he wondered when he could have a home?
If meeting Zhizhi is the reward for the pain in his first half of life, then it is worth it!
Not long after Lin Zhiyi settled in the palace, King Zhennan Lin Xian also came back, and he was not injured. The father and daughter looked at each other, and everything was self-evident. The old man was no longer stubborn.
The family of three had their meal. After seeing that everyone in the palace followed the orders of the Crown Princess, Prince Zhennan already understood what his daughter meant.
The next day, he led a small group of people to Beijing.
Less than half a month later, news came from the capital.
First, the Grand Tutor was on the verge of death, and his only request was to cancel the engagement between his legitimate granddaughter and the Prince of Zhennan. Although the emperor's order was irreversible, the Grand Tutor was a teacher to the emperor, so he finally fulfilled his dying wish.
Afterwards, Prince Zhennan loved the Ninth Prince very much and always taught him martial arts. He also took the opportunity to recognize the Ninth Prince's mother as his sister.
The emperor took this opportunity to confer the title of Crown Prince on the Ninth Prince.
The seventh prince Gongsun Rui has been fighting fiercely with the imperial concubine these days, and both sides have suffered losses. Now that Prince Zhennan has entered the capital, everything has begun to tilt to one side.
The Prince of Zhennan obviously took sides, and the one he stood for was not the imperial concubine, but the emperor.
When they were young, they wore the same pair of pants and swept across the capital, suppressing all the princes so that they could not raise their heads.
Later, they each held power and began to disagree, but now they have stood together again. Who dares to disobey? Who can go against them?
Perhaps feeling desperate, the Seventh Prince did not go all out and reveal the identities of Gongsun Yi and Lin Zhiyi. Instead, he exchanged them for the identity of King Xiaoyao, left the capital and traveled far away without any fiefdom or power.
When the turmoil in the capital gradually subsided, Prince Zhennan went to the palace to bid farewell to the emperor, but was kept for dinner.
During the banquet, the Emperor ordered a pot of wine to be served and poured into the cup of Prince Zhennan, but he himself did not drink it.
Lin Xian seemed oblivious and drank one cup after another: "Good wine, it's different when you're an emperor. Is this wine a tribute?"
"It's the tribute from the Nilan Nation this year. You still remember that our first unforgettable achievement was conquering Nilan. At that time, no one was optimistic about us and thought we would die there."
"But despite all the hostility, you and I are the most determined. Sweat mixed with blood, and our long swords were slashed with jagged teeth. The moment you and I planted the Great Jin flag in Nilan, I was already thinking about the day we ascended the throne."
