Too much expectations

How does Xue Mei feel?

It's just a little disappointing.

In ancient feudal society, the emperor was her boss. Xue Mei had no ambition to dominate the world, nor had she planned to usurp the throne, nor did she think that she would be the queen mother and rule the country from behind the curtain.

Politics is more about compromise and patience.

For example, when someone is unhappy with Xue Mei, she immediately wants to slap the man; what the emperor wants to do is to weigh the pros and cons, smile when he cannot move, and reward her, and kill her when she is useless in the future.

This is the most subtle example, other court events are complicated.

What Xue Mei wants is to find a good boss and, under his leadership, make himself as comfortable as possible.

And undoubtedly, this emperor is not a good boss recognized by Xue Mei.

"I just feel like I want to change jobs." Xue Mei said to herself silently.

She didn't say it, but sighed.

Before she could sigh to the end, someone next to her suddenly clenched her hand.

His palm was warm and rough, covered with calluses, and he held her hand very hard, as if he wanted to hold her soul.

Xue Mei looked up at Xiao Jingcheng.

At this moment, only he understood her mind - she wanted to leave.

Today, Chu State is the richest and Qi State is not bad. Xue Mei does not need to be trapped here. Be a little princess and be a bird's breath all day long.

The dog barked at her twice, and even suspected her, it was unbearable.

How many times did she put in the effort for the court and the Xiao family?

Only I don’t want to give up Xiao Jingcheng.

After Xiao Mingyu asked Xue Mei, she waited for her to turn around. Seeing that she had not moved for a while, she turned around and found that she and Uncle Rui were holding hands, and their eyes were filled with love.

Xiao Mingyu: “…”

When does he not exist?

He coughed heavily and complained to Xue Mei and Xiao Jingcheng: "Uncle, please be careful, your nephew is still here. If Your Majesty in the future accusation of the princess to his nephew, will the three of us still meet?"

Xue Mei: "..."

Xiao Jingcheng narrowed his eyes: "What kind of beautiful dream are you having?"

Xiao Mingyu: "My nephew also likes the princess, so he can naturally dream."

After hearing this, Xue Mei was very interested and leaned forward: "Really?"

Then Xiao Jingcheng suddenly pulled him back.

Xiao Jingcheng glared at her fiercely.

Xue Mei felt a little aggrieved: "I have an admirer, which is a happy thing, which means I am still very charming. I'll ask what's wrong with the real or fake?"

Xiao Jingcheng secretly grinded his teeth: "Fake it, he has no heart."

Xiao Mingyu: “…”

I used to think he was blind, but now I think he was mute, so he would just get out by himself.

It's so annoying.

Xue Mei is also not good at doing anything and has to listen to Xiao Jingcheng. Can't she have her own opinions and let her heart decide? She can obviously like everything.

Xiao Mingyu speeded up.

Xue Mei and Xiao Jingcheng were behind.

"It's a little hot." Xue Mei used the excuse to break free from Xiao Jingcheng's hand and untied the wind flare.

Xiao Jingcheng took off himself, then took Xue Mei's and put it on his arms.

The two of them were much slower down the mountain.

Xiao Jingcheng asked her: "Are you a pitiful Concubine Zhuo, or do you think Your Majesty's punishment is too heavy?"

“Not even.”

"He doubted you, and annoyed you?" Xiao Jingcheng asked again.

Xue Mei pondered for a while and nodded.

Xiao Jingcheng immediately said, "This matter is because he is not kind. Mei'er, I can protect you well, don't worry."

Xue Mei was not worried.

Besides, she just thought about changing jobs.

This is not simply a resignation, but a change of country. Xiao Jingcheng is a general of Liang State. If Xue Mei goes to other countries, he may become enemies with him.

Her career foundation is here, and the people she cares about are here.

In addition to Xiao Jingcheng, she also has her brother and younger brother, a wet nurse and a group of maids, as well as two students, Lu Wen and Lu Shu.

"I know." Xue Mei smiled, "Prince Rui is so powerful and has such thick thighs. What else am I worried about?"

Xiao Jingcheng: “…”

What he wanted to promise and what she replied was not the same thing at all.

Xiao Jingcheng and Xue Mei also lost the intention of taking a hot spring bath.

After hearing that the emperor, Concubine Dan Tai and others had to stay for a day, Xue Mei and Xiao Jingcheng went down the mountain early.

Xiao Mingyu had the same idea as them, so he met him and his concubines at the entrance of the villa.

"Princess, why don't you go to the royal palace to play cards?" Cheng Meiren greeted Xue Mei warmly.

"I've been very busy lately." Xue Mei smiled.

"What good things are the princess busy with?" Cai Meiren also said, "Don't you give us some?"

"I hope you never need it - I'm working on a medicine," said Xue Mei.

Several beauties shut up.

When he went down the mountain, Xue Mei also enjoyed a soft sedan chair and successfully arrived at the foot of the mountain.

She didn't talk much with Xiao Mingyu, but got into Xiao Jingcheng's carriage. The two of them had nothing to say and returned to the princess's mansion.

This time I went out to relax, and my mood became even heavier.

After returning, Xue Mei exercised for three hours, and the secreted dopamine made her feel very comfortable, and her mood improved completely.

The emperor returned to the palace the next day.

The inner court and the court officials knew about Zhuo Jie's death.

Everyone knows the whole story, and no one says the emperor is too severely punished.

A few days later, when Xue Mei went to the palace routinely and gave vitamins to Empress Dowager Hu. She held the official position of the medicine and waist cards, these were all her duties.

When I arrived at Empress Dowager Hu's side, I heard the sound of mahjong as soon as I entered the door. Concubine De and several palace concubines were playing mahjong with Empress Dowager Hu.

"...Prince, what's going on with Nanling Temple?" Concubine De asked Xue Mei.

No one insider explained this matter in detail.

Xue Mei naturally didn't say much, so she said, "I don't know very well."

She sat down a little, played mahjong with Empress Dowager Hu for several laps, got up and walked towards the imperial concubine, the queen and the queen Qi.

She also met the prince in the palace.

The prince is not old and looks dejected. He is not at all active and energetic, and he is full of decadence.

Xue Mei understood very well why the emperor didn't like the prince very much. If her son did this, she would have to die of worry.

Looking at the prince again, Xue Mei always feels that he is a little depressed.

The imperial concubine was deserted, and Xue Mei sat with her. The two of them had a tacit understanding and no one said anything.

When Xue Mei strolls to Queen Mother Qi’s side, it’s lunch time.

Queen Mother Qi has no card game, so she keeps Xue Mei: "You can have lunch with Ai's family."

Xue Meidao is good.

Just as the two of them were preparing for meals, the female official came in and reported: "Empress, Your Highness Rong and the Princess are here."

Xue Mei looked at the door.

Empress Dowager Qi smiled and said, "Please come in."

After a moment, the gorgeously dressed King Rong and his wife saluted Queen Mother Qi.

"Why is this time coming? It's neither too late nor too late." Empress Dowager Qi smiled and still loved King Rong, the nominal grandson.

King Rong smiled and said, "Grandmother, grandson only got the good news in the morning. After hiring the imperial physician, come here to report the good news to you so that the imperial physicians will not rob you first."

Empress Dowager Qi immediately understood.

She looked at Xi Baochen with joy all over her eyes.

Xi Baochen lowered his head, unable to see any expression of her.

King Rong continued: "The princess is pregnant, grandmother."

"What a great joy." Empress Dowager Qi smiled, "This is His Majesty's first legitimate grandson."

On the side of King Yu, the concubine will soon be born.

But the child born to the concubine is only a concubine's son; the prince is still young.
