After being read, she became an empress by eating melons

After that, Grand Tutor Zhang and the Third Prince formed an alliance. The Third Prince went to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to find Zhang Yu every day, and Grand Tutor Zhang was responsible for passing on information at all times. The two began a new round of offensive against Zhang Yu.

The next day.

Nan Rongxi finally had a rare day off. The sky was clear blue, and the sun shone through the gauze-like clouds, shining on her little house, bringing her a hint of warmth.

Today, she finally didn't have to go to court. She could really sleep until she woke up naturally and enjoy the long-lost peace and freedom.

The birds were singing happily outside the window, as if celebrating this beautiful day.

Nan Rongxi lazily lay on the bed, listening to the birds singing and feeling the gentle sunshine, feeling very comfortable. She couldn't help but sigh, such a day is so wonderful!

However, happy times are always short-lived. Just as Nan Rongxi was about to continue enjoying her lazy sleep, a quick knock on the door broke the tranquility. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Who is it? You come to disturb my sleep so early."

Although she was somewhat dissatisfied, Nan Rongxi still stood up and opened the door. Nan Rongjie appeared in front of her. Nan Rongjie looked anxious and said hurriedly, "Axi, get up quickly, there are guests coming to visit!"

Nan Rongxi was slightly stunned. It was really beyond her expectation that there would be guests visiting so early. She yawned, rubbed her eyes, and tried to wake herself up.

"Who's here?" Nan Rongxi asked while tidying up her messy hair.

Nan Rongjie did not answer directly, but urged: "Hurry up and clean up, I will go to greet the guests. You know, as the host, we can't lose our manners at this time."

Nan Rongxi nodded. Although she was still a little sleepy, she had no choice but to go to work. She quickly washed up, changed into a decent dress, and went to the living room.

The atmosphere in the living room was solemn yet harmonious. Nan Rongyi and Nan Rongjie were sitting at the tea table, drinking tea and chatting happily with a guest. Nan Rongxi recognized the guest at a glance. It was Li Xuan, the Minister of War.

Li Xuan nodded when he saw Nan Rongxi coming. Nan Rongxi also nodded politely and then sat in the empty seat next to him.

"Axi, you're here." Nan Rongjie greeted his daughter when he saw her coming.

Nan Rongxi looked helpless and asked, "Dad, Master Li, is there something important that you want to discuss this time?"

Nan Rongjie nodded and said, "Lord Li came here to discuss border defense with us. The border has been a bit uneasy lately, so he came to discuss supply matters with us."

Nan Rongxi felt helpless when she heard that. The work wouldn't be affected by her presence or absence, so why did he have to wake her up?

In that case, Nan Rongxi decided to enjoy the show!

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, Tongzi, I was woken up, give me the melon! ]

System: [Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’ll give you a melon from the Minister of War! ]

Li Xuan: …

Nan Rongjie: I regret waking you up...

The system continued: [The biggest gossip about Li Xuan is the story of him and his white moonlight! ]

Nan Rongxi immediately became excited: [Oh my god, this is exciting, something like Bai Yueguang must be a big deal, Tongzi, tell me quickly! ]

Li Xuan: What is this new term for white moonlight?

System: [Let me first tell you how these two people met!

Twenty years ago, Li Xuan, as a promising young student, won the praise of everyone with his handsome appearance and extraordinary talents.

On a spring afternoon, the sun was warm and the breeze was blowing. Li Xuan was walking in the academy, admiring the blooming flowers, but he felt a little lonely. Just then, a crisp laughter came into his ears. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful woman playing among the flowers.

The woman was Xiao Mo. She was born into a prominent family and received a good education since childhood. She was not only beautiful, but also very intelligent. Her laughter was as sweet as a silver bell, which made Li Xuan fall for her.

Since that day, Li Xuan has been obsessed with Xiao Mo. He often secretly observes her and pays attention to her every move.

Whenever Xiao Mo appears in his sight, his heartbeat will speed up involuntarily and his cheeks will turn red. 】

Nan Rongxi raised the corner of his mouth: [I never thought that this big man, Li Shilang, had such a side when he was young! ]

Li Xuan now just wants to finish his official business quickly and leave immediately!

System: [Don't interrupt me. However, Xiao Mo is independent and arrogant, and always responds indifferently to Li Xuan's love. She thinks that Li Xuan comes from a poor family and it is difficult for him to achieve anything great, so naturally she did not include him in her list of potential husbands.]

Li Xuan: What?! This is the reason! I have been deceived all along!

Nan Rongjie: Oh, it’s too late to regret now. I hope Ah Xi can say something good…

The system continued: [Li Xuan's secret love for Xiao Mo deepened, and he began to look for opportunities to confess his love to Xiao Mo. However, every attempt ended in failure. Xiao Mo's indifference and rejection made Li Xuan feel lost, but he could not let go of his thoughts about Wan'er.

As time goes by, Li Xuan's secret love gradually becomes a scar in his heart. He is unable to give up his feelings for Xiao Mo and can only bury this secret love deep in his heart. 】

Nan Rongxi scratched his head: [It's too miserable for the Minister of War, but this woman is not a good person either. It's not a loss not to be with her. In the end, I still want to find a powerful husband. ]

Nan Rongjie: Fortunately, this might be able to help Minister Li!

After hearing what the system said, Li Xuan began to fall into deep thought. He never thought that Xiao Mo would be such a snobbish person. He didn't even have the heart to talk about work.

Nan Rongxi continued to ask: [Tongzi, what happened to these two people later? ]

System: [If there is no story, it is not called a melon. The exciting parts are all in the back. Listen to me and I will tell you in detail!

Xiaomo's family was once the most dazzling pearl in this land. Xiaomo's grandfather was a famous wealthy businessman in Beijing. The family's businesses were spread all over the country and the family was wealthy. Xiaomo lived in such an environment since she was a child and lived a carefree life. She was smart and beautiful, and she was the apple of her family's eye and was loved by everyone.

However, the good times did not last long. With the turbulent times and the disputes within the family, Xiaomo's family business began to decline. Although Xiaomo's father tried his best to save the situation, he was ultimately unable to resist the tide of history. The family business gradually shrank, and the family's wealth also disappeared like flowing water.

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, I feel like I can almost guess what's going to happen next. Please continue! Come on! Let me see if I'm right!]

Nan Rongjie and Nan Rongyu didn't care about the gossip, they just wanted to get the job done. However, Li Xuan was already fascinated by it!
