Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 106

……

"Your Excellency, this is what the servants have presented. Please take a look."

Hongyun respectfully handed a letter to Rong Hengyu, who was leaning against the headboard, her face still pale, yet her elegance was undeniable. She gently raised her hand and took the letter.

However, upon seeing the contents of the letter, his expression changed slightly, and his handsome brows furrowed.

He looked up at the red clouds.

"Where is the Prince now?"

"The prince went outside the city early this morning to welcome the envoys from other countries."

Hongyun said truthfully.

Rong Hengyu's expression was inscrutable, and the letter in his hand was crumpled from his grip.

"Is Your Highness aware of this matter?"

Hongyun pondered for a moment and said, "He probably doesn't know. Should I inform Your Highness about this?"

Rong Hengyu was silent for a moment, then said, "No need for now. Send someone to keep an eye on him, and report to me immediately if there are any unusual movements."

"Yes!"

outside the city.

Nalan Jingwen sat on a chair that Cheng He had somehow produced, with a large group of people following behind him and officials from the Ministry of Rites standing beside him. Yuan Jing, the Minister of Rites, looked at the empty space in front of him, then glanced at Nalan Jingwen, who looked relaxed beside him, and sighed.

I don't know why His Majesty sent Nalan Jingwen to greet the envoy. Who doesn't know Nalan Jingwen's temper? He doesn't understand anything and who knows what kind of trouble he will cause later. This is not only embarrassing for her, but also for the Feng Kingdom!

Nalan Jingwen, looking languid, casually glanced at the worried-looking people beside him, chuckled, and said, "The Jing'an Palace was under renovation some time ago. Does Lord Yuan know about that?"

Yuan Jing was caught off guard by being called out by name, and then quickly replied, "His Majesty issued the decree personally, so of course I know."

Generally speaking, His Majesty's decrees are presented directly to her, as they pertain to major matters. For ordinary palace repairs, she only needs to glance at them.

"Since you know, have you investigated why such a large palace could have become so corrupt without anyone noticing? The imperial court allocates a considerable amount of silver to your Ministry of Rites every year for the maintenance of the palace, right? Where did all that silver go?"

She spoke in a joking tone, but it sent chills down their spines.

Yuan Jing knew that Jing'an Palace had been renovated and that Nalan Jingwen was involved in the work. He originally thought that she had only seen it by chance and was dissatisfied, which was why Nalan Fengxing issued the decree. After all, everyone knew that Nalan Jingwen was a playboy. However, he did not expect her to say these things in front of him!

Yuan Jing could only smile and lower his posture, saying, "I have already begun to prepare for a thorough investigation into this matter, and will report it to Your Majesty when the time comes. These trivial matters have disturbed Your Highness, and I will certainly give Your Highness a proper explanation."

Nalan Fengxing didn't care about Nalan Yin, but if this matter could help eliminate some parasites, why not?

Those people in the Ministry of Rites probably never expected that Nalan Yin would climb up to such a powerful figure as Nalan Jingwen.

Nalan Jing didn't say much after hearing this. After all, she didn't want to get involved in court affairs. Bringing up this matter was just a way of showing her that she was unhappy with Nalan Jing's attitude towards her.

However, the balance of power among the four kingdoms on the continent has been maintained for over a century, with little distinction between large and small kingdoms, which is why they have been able to coexist peacefully for so long. In the past six months, however, Qi Lin and Su Shui have started fighting, which is tantamount to trying to break the balance of power among the four kingdoms. No matter who wins, it will not benefit the other two kingdoms. Now that the two sides are deadlocked, they are trying to win over Feng Kingdom. So even if Nalan Jingwen loses face, what objections would the other two kingdoms dare to have?

Although outsiders might think that having a wise king like her greet the envoys from both countries was disrespectful, given the king's well-known reputation, Nalan Jingwen was aware of this as well, but she didn't care.

Yuan Jing no longer dared to reveal too much emotion and waited attentively. After about an hour, he saw carriages and figures appearing in the distance.

The first to arrive were the envoys from Sushui. As they approached, Nalan Jingwen stood up leisurely, and Yuan Jing and his entourage had already gone to greet them.

"You have had a long journey. I am here on His Majesty's orders to welcome the envoys from various countries."

The people of Sushui all have a rugged appearance, with muscles that seem ready to burst forth, dark skin, and an extremely healthy look.

A woman with striking eyebrows and bright eyes stepped down from the carriage, exuding an air of righteousness. Accompanied by an envoy, she bowed to Yuan Jing and his companions, saying, "My lords, this is our country's second princess."

Nalan Jingwen stepped forward and said, "I have long heard of the heroic figures of the Second Princess of Sushui. Now that I see them, their reputation is truly well-deserved."

"Who is this?"

Helian Ziyu looked at Nalan Jingwen, his eyes filled with speculation.

Yuan Jing was about to speak when Nalan Jingwen interrupted him, "I am Nalan Jingwen."

A look of understanding flashed in Helian Ziyu's eyes, and she looked at Nalan Jingwen with a hint of inquiry.

"So it was the Wise Prince. I've heard of his name for a long time, but now it seems that it doesn't match the rumors."

Nalan Jingwen smiled and said calmly, "What's wrong with it?"

"Rumors say you are arrogant and domineering, and a womanizer, but now it seems you are not what I imagined."

The envoy standing to the side was somewhat embarrassed and said, "Your Highness, please don't mind. His Highness is just being straightforward and has no ill intentions."

Nalan Jingwen naturally didn't mind. People from Sushui are forthright and unpretentious. She could tell that Helian Ziyu's eyes were clear and he meant no harm.

Helian Ziyu continued, "However, I've heard that you have a fondness for handsome men, and I do too. I wonder if I might have the honor of meeting your consort, Rong Hengyu?"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent, everyone staring wide-eyed at Helian Ziyu.

The envoy beside him immediately realized what was going on and quickly explained, "Your Highness, His Highness has only heard that your consort Rong Hengyu is exceptionally talented and handsome, and that no one in the four kingdoms can match him. That's why he wanted to meet him. He had no other intentions."

Yuan Jing glanced cautiously at Nalan Jingwen, and seeing that she didn't show any particular expression, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed awkwardly, "Hahaha, I see..."

The envoys were almost in tears. They had come to win over the Phoenix Kingdom, not to create another enemy!

Helian Ziyu merely smiled, looking at Nalan Jingwen with a strange light in his eyes.

Nalan Jingwen was not angry. He looked at Helian Ziyu and said slowly, "The King's Consort has recently caught a cold. I'm afraid it's not good for the Second Princess to meet with him, for fear of offending the Second Princess."

"I don't mind at all; it's just a minor cold."

The people of Sushui are strong and healthy, so they are naturally not afraid of such a minor illness.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent again. The envoy standing to the side was already feeling utterly hopeless. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Nalan Jing say, "Then tonight, I will bring my royal consort to the banquet."

?

Everyone was stunned, unable to believe what they were hearing. Nalan Jingwen had agreed?!

Yuan Jing looked at Nalan Jingwen as if she were a ghost. Who didn't know how much Nalan Jingwen cherished her royal husband?
