Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Chapter 205 Nan Rongshen's Conflict

Seeing that he was listening attentively, Meng Xiyue continued.

"Although Nan Rongzhi is a girl, she can fight in battles like the prince, and handle court affairs like the emperor. She loves the people and is brave and resourceful. Those noble families oppose her because they are afraid of her. Does the prince oppose her because he is afraid?"

"What does the king have to fear?" Nan Rongshen retorted.

Meng Xiyue smiled, "Your Highness, of course you are afraid. You are not afraid of your wealth and power vanishing into thin air. What you are afraid of is that as a nine-foot-tall man, you are actually bowing down to a woman."

"I…"

Prince Zhennan wanted to continue to refute, but found that he could not find an excuse.

He didn't know what he was afraid of. It seemed like a deep-rooted influence that because she, Nan Rongzhi, was a girl, she could not be the emperor.

Meng Xiyue was right. Nanrong Zhiruo was a man. He would not object. Instead, he would be happy, happy that Nanrong would have a good ruler in the future.

But just because she is a woman, does that mean I have to object?

"Even if I don't object, this era doesn't allow it. There has never been a precedent for a woman to be an emperor."

"Then we must set this precedent, and the competent person will be given the position. Nan Rongzhi is the most suitable candidate in every aspect."

Meng Xiyue said this in a resounding voice.

"Even if we are against this era and against you, the King of Zhennan, we must take the right path."

If it doesn't belong to them, they won't fight for it, but that position originally belongs to Nan Rongzhi, and she shouldn't be deprived of it just because of her female identity.

“But the road you are on is difficult?”

Prince Zhennan spoke weakly. He looked at Meng Xiyue's determination and could not say anything to dissuade her.

Even if Nan Rongzhi was a man, it would be difficult for her to succeed to the throne safely with the eldest prince around. What's more, it was against common sense for her to make a daughter the crown prince.

"If her identity is discovered, it would be unforgivable."

"It won't be intolerable. In fact, the people only care about whether they live well. If the superiors can bring them benefits, they will support them unconditionally. Those who oppose are nothing more than those pedantic old stubborn people and those who touch their interests."

As long as one holds power, no matter who opposes him, it will be of no use.

They are now moving forward step by step.

She looked at the Prince of Zhennan and said, "I am being honest with you today because I want the Prince of Zhennan to make a final choice. If you continue to support the Third Prince, we will be enemies from now on."

"However, I don't want to become an enemy of the prince. I hope we can be friends and have a common goal."

Ever since she realized that Prince Zhennan might know Nan Rongzhi's identity, she has been trying to win him over.

Nan Rongzhi has too few supporters. If she had the Prince of Zhennan, she would be able to compete with the eldest prince.

If he still chooses to insist on his own way, then I'm afraid she will have to find a way to deal with him first.

Nan Rongshen didn't say anything. He glanced at Meng Xiyue and then turned and left.

Meng Xiyue didn't stop him, he needed time to think.

She was not afraid that he would reveal Nan Rongzhi's identity. Since he chose to conceal it from the beginning, there was no way he would reveal it at this time.

At the end of the day, he is a kind person.

Nan Rongshen was indeed very conflicted. He would never support Nan Rongzhi no matter what.

His original plan was to train the third prince, who was well-controlled, to be the emperor. When the current emperor passed away, he would secretly send the queen and Nan Rongzhi out of the palace and let them find a place to live in seclusion.

Lived an ordinary life.

But now it seems impossible. Nan Rongzhi has a great ambition in her heart. Since she has chosen this path, she will not give up easily.

As he walked, Nan Rongshen arrived at the gate of the palace.

Looking at the towering palace, he felt a little dazed. This was where he grew up, but he felt it was extremely unfamiliar.

In this palace, he seemed to have nothing worth remembering.

Everyone wants to sit on the highest throne, and for that position, brothers kill each other and blood flows like a river.

This is not a magnificent palace, but a prison in hell.

He walked in slowly with a heavy heart.

Not long after walking, he ran into the eldest prince. When he saw him, Nan Rongshen's eyes darkened.

"Uncle Wang."

"kindness."

He has never had anything to say to Nan Rongshen. Nan Rongshen has been ambitious, ruthless, hypocritical and selfish since he was a child. He disdains to associate with such a person.

"Uncle Wang, are you here to see my father or the Third Prince?"

Nan Rongxin seemed not to notice his coldness and asked warmly.

"Do I need to tell you who I'm looking for?"

Nan Rongshen's expression turned even colder, "Don't try to be fake with me."

"It's my nephew who's talking too much."

Nan Rongxin's smile faded a little, "Then please go ahead, Uncle Wang."

Nan Rongshen snorted coldly, walked past him and went straight forward. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back, just in time to meet Nan Rongxin's sinister and fierce eyes.

He sneered, "That's good. Just look at me like this from now on. No need to pretend and make people sick."

Nan Rongxin didn't expect him to turn around suddenly. He didn't have time to retract the expression on his face and his whole body froze in place.

After hearing what Nan Rongshen said, I realized that he did it on purpose.

"hateful."

The two people he hated most in the Nanrong Kingdom were the Emperor and his uncle.

He is obviously the eldest son and has the support of the aristocratic family, so the position of crown prince should be his.

But my father insisted on making that young boy Nan Rongzhi the crown prince.

And the Prince of Zhennan would rather support the cowardly and incompetent Nan Rongjing than go against him. It's really hateful.

Once he holds power, the first thing he will do is to cut Nan Rongshen into pieces.

Nan Rongshen didn't care about his thoughts at all. In his opinion, Nan Rongshen was just a puppet supported by the aristocratic family.

Although he has some strategies and means, they cannot support his ambitions at all.

Even if he gave everything, even his life, he would never let someone like Nan Rongxin ascend the throne.

If he becomes emperor, it will be a disaster for Nanrong Kingdom.

"Uncle Wang."

A joyful voice brought him back to his senses, and it was Nan Rongjing, who walked over with a happy look on his face.

"Just came out of the Imperial Study?"

The direction he was walking towards was the imperial study.

Nan Rongjing nodded, "Yes, I just presented a policy paper on flood control to my father, and he praised me after reading it."

There was an undisguised smugness in his brows.

Nan Rongshen frowned slightly and scolded coldly, "It's just a compliment, there's no reason for you to be so proud."

"I…"

Nan Rongjing felt a little aggrieved. He had made a contribution, so what was wrong with being a little proud?

However, he did not dare to refute Nan Rongshen, and only whispered, "Yes."

"Nan Rongjing, do you think you can defeat Nan Rongxin and the prince?"
