The regent is a yandere who needs to be pampered

Nan Jiao's face stiffened, and then she snorted coldly: "Today is my father's birthday, and there are many noble people in the family. Sister, it's best not to cause any more troubles to embarrass my father."

"So this is the reason why you are so gorgeously dressed today?" Nan Xi raised her eyebrows, "If you are lucky enough to be spotted by a prince, you might be able to take her back and become a concubine, and from then on you can fly into the branches. Yeah?"

"Sister, what an unpleasant thing to say." Nan Jiao raised her hand to brush her hair on her temples, her tone filled with a little more pride than before, "After all, I am also the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. With my status here, I can be considered worthy of matching those princes. We are of the right family, so why did you fly up the branch? It's you, my sister, who came from a business family, so you are more like a sparrow than me."

A flash of deep thought flashed through Nan Xi's eyes, but her expression was indifferent: "So what if my mother is from a merchant family? No matter what, my mother is the wife of my father, the official wife of the prime minister's house. I am the only legitimate daughter of the prime minister's house. This is something you and your daughter can never compare to."

"After today, it won't necessarily be the case." Nan Jiao raised her eyebrows and chuckled, with an almost uncontrollable excitement in her smile. "Sister, please don't get so angry later."

After saying this, she flicked the veil and said, "Okay, I have something else to do, so I won't waste my sister's time. Let's wait until the banquet starts to talk about anything else."

After leaving these words, she took the two maids and walked away.

Nan Xi looked at her back thoughtfully, smiled faintly, turned around and walked towards Ting Yuxuan.

Mrs. Nan was also dressed up carefully today. She was wearing a violet satin skirt with gold filigree, an auspicious cloud bun, a string of expensive top-quality tourmaline beads hanging around her neck, and an extremely fine jade bracelet on her wrist. She also wears jade earrings on her ears, giving her an air of nobility.

She usually doesn't pay much attention to dressing up, so she always looks a little too plain. Today, with a little modification, people's eyes shine, and they suddenly realize that this is the real lady.

"Is there any special reason why Mom is dressed up so grandly and elegantly today?" Nan Xi stepped forward with a smile on her lips, "If it was just because of my father's birthday, I shouldn't have put so much thought into it."

Mrs. Nan stood in front of the bronze mirror, adjusting her clothes in front of it, and smiled lightly: "Your father celebrates his birthday today. I heard that he wants to ask for a favor from the emperor in front of all the guests."

Of course, the guests who came today are not ordinary guests, but the civil and military dignitaries of the entire dynasty, the heads of clans and families in the imperial capital, including several princes and princes from the royal family.

The fact that the emperor could come in person was already enough to give the Prime Minister face, and it was also enough to prove Nan Xingzhi's importance in front of the emperor.

Therefore, as long as the grace he asked for was not too excessive, the emperor had no reason not to agree.

Nan Xi was silent for a moment: "Previously, my father said that he would ask the emperor to allow him to take the Liu family as his concubine at the birthday banquet. In this way, Nan Yue can recognize her ancestors and return to the clan openly and become the legitimate second girl of the Prime Minister's Palace. However, because of Qingyin Regarding Lou, this plan should have failed, and my father should not be stupid enough to ask the emperor to release Liu and Nanyue. "

According to common sense, a concubine who was sent to be a military prostitute and a daughter who was sent to a brothel were enough to embarrass the powerful prime minister and make him a joke in the eyes of his colleagues. Moreover, this mother and daughter It was the regent who ordered the rectification. Even if the emperor really agreed, he might not be able to save the Liu family and his daughter.

So today's birthday banquet is in front of so many colleagues. How stupid can he be to take the initiative to mention the mother and daughter who have become a scandal?

"No matter how shameless your father is, he still has some brains." Mrs. Nan said in a calm voice, "Today he is going to take advantage of the birthday banquet where the emperor and all the princes and princes are present to mention Mrs. Li as his equal wife. "

Nan Xi was stunned: "Proposing Li as an equal wife?"

No wonder Nan Jiao couldn't hide the excitement and pride just now. It seemed that he had known that his father was going to mention Li's matter. If Li could bring it up, Nan Jiao would change from a concubine to a legitimate daughter. The prime minister's only The son will also change from a bastard born in a concubine to a legitimate son born from an equal wife.

This is great news for the Li family of three.

Mrs. Nan nodded: "He has a good plan. If I don't repay him well, how can I be worthy of his careful calculation?"

Although it was not in line with the rules to ask Li to be his equal wife in front of everyone, it only needed to use the reason that "the royal wife has no children" was enough to make the emperor and all the nobles considerate and understand.

There is no legitimate son in the prime minister's palace, only a bastard whose identity cannot be dealt with. It would be a loss of face to tell anyone about it. Even if the emperor only thinks of his meritorious service as a dragon, he will definitely agree to this small request.

Nan Xi looked a little indifferent: "My father wanted his legitimate son and wanted to marry Li as his wife. It was originally his right as the head of the family, but today in front of so many people, such a decision is a fight." With the face of your wife, I will never let him get what he wants."

"You don't need to come forward in this matter." Mrs. Nan looked in the mirror, adjusted her clothes one last time, then turned around and said calmly, "I have my own way of dealing with it."

Nan Xi raised her eyes: "What do you want to do, mother?"

Mrs. Nan sighed and said in a melancholy tone: "I originally thought that today is also his birthday party. At forty years old, I should save some face for him, but he doesn't seem to care that I give him He only has so much face left, so why should I be polite to him?"

Nan Xi pursed her lips and smiled: "No matter what you do, mother, I will support you."

Mrs. Nan smiled: "My dear daughter."

Nan Xi laughed: "Is mother going out to greet the guests?"

"No need." Mrs. Nan shook her head, "The hostess of today's birthday banquet is Li. Your father has waited for this day with great difficulty, so naturally, Li must be in the spotlight."

Nan Xi was silent. She could imagine how those princesses and wives of noble families would flatter Li, and how they would openly or secretly belittle her mother, the wife of the principal wife.

"Let's go." Mrs. Nan took her hand and walked out. "Today, we, mother and daughter, are not the protagonists, but the foils and the audience."

Nan Xi smiled faintly: "Rong Yu is here today too."

"I expected him to come." Mrs. Nan smiled faintly: "Mother is going to make a big move today, and maybe she needs the help of the regent."

The mother and daughter walked out of Tingyu Pavilion and walked towards the lotus garden where the female guests were.

From a distance, they could hear a lively laughter and talk, and every word that fell into the eardrum was exactly as Nan Xi had guessed.

"Mrs. Li is beautiful and dignified. When she was young, she was the daughter of an aristocratic family with outstanding knowledge. The daughter she taught is also dignified, virtuous, and generous. She is pleasing to the eye." This is what a princess of the royal family said, "Compared to a certain lady who smells of money, Mrs. Li is the real virtuous wife of the Prime Minister."
