Chapter 368 Marry me quickly

Xue Mei is the topic of talk in Kyoto recently.

"The Liao family actually apologized to her."

"That Liao family? The Liao family has always been arrogant and domineering, after all, it is His Majesty's mother clan."

"Your Majesty knows very well that he is not close to this mother's family. It's just a matter of being able to live up to his face. But the Liao family is indeed unreasonable. Why did he apologize now?"

"Because of King Rui?"

"The Liao family doesn't even take the royal family seriously, are they afraid of King Rui?"

This is very strange.

Xue Mei vaguely became another bully and was domineering. However, when everyone talked about her, they did not feel disgusted because she made other bullies bow their heads.

The ones she bullies are recognized as "bad guys".

For example, Princess Baoqing, she did so many evil deeds; for example, the Liao family, relying on being the emperor's mother tribe, did everything, blinded the Gao family's children and drove the Gao family out of Kyoto.

This incident caused a sensation in the government and the people at that time.

Now, these bullies bowed their heads to Xue Mei.

Xue Mei’s outstanding figure is not her father and brother, nor her fiancé who has not yet been engaged, but her person, herself!

"This woman is not ordinary." Some people are also worried about Xue Mei, "I'm afraid that someone will take revenge, and she won't have good luck."

Many people think so.

Xue Mei doesn't care, she doesn't care much.

After all, she did not offend public anger nor defied public opinion. Therefore, no matter how cruel she was, someone would say good things for her.

The days pass slowly.

Xue Mei is waiting for her distillation equipment and plans to use it to purify the anesthetic.

The second room sent someone to invite her again.

Xue Mei was shocked and hurried to the second room.

This time it wasn't someone who happened, but the second wife invited Xue Mei on a trip.

"... Let's go to Ersheng Temple to post incense, also called Shang Xi'er." The second wife said, "One is to ask Jie'er for a peace talisman and light an eternal lamp; the other is to go to the temple to add some incense and oil on the eve of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Festival."

There is a Ten Thousand Buddha Festival in this dynasty, which is in late March every year. People who believe in Buddhism have to go to the temple to give some money to offer to the temple on this day.

There are many temples in the suburbs of Beijing, some of which are extremely brilliantly built and incense is also prosperous.

Ersheng Temple is one of them.

The female family members of the Xue family are familiar with Ersheng Temple and often lit eternal lanterns there. When the imperial concubine was alive, there was a family temple in the Xue family, right next to Ersheng Temple.

Now that I can’t afford it, the family temple is gone, and the courtyard and houses have been bought by Ersheng Temple.

"Okay." Xue Mei smiled.

After discussing the details, we will set off tomorrow.

That night, Xiao Jingcheng also went to Xue Mei's mansion for dinner. Xue Chi and Xue Run were there. Xue Mei mentioned going to burn incense and asked them if they wanted to go too.

Xue Si is going to go.

If Xue Qing couldn't leave, Xue Huai wanted to send his mother and sisters over.

After hearing this, Xue Wu nodded repeatedly, and said, "I'll go too, I'll go too!"

Xue Chi has nothing to do, and the yamen can rest tomorrow, so he also plans to relax: "I'll go too."

Xiao Jingcheng, who was sitting next to him for a meal, said: "Why don't you invite me?"

Xue Mei: "Aren't you busy?"

"The errands in the defense camp are not considered serious errands. You can take leave at any time." Xiao Jingcheng said lightly.

Xue Mei: "But we are a family of children and go to burn incense, and you go with you, it's not very suitable."

"Am I an outsider?"

Xue Mei: "..."

You ask for this for granted, and it cannot change the fact that you are an outsider.

"The one who went there was either your aunt or your married cousin. Is there any taboo to avoid?" Xiao Jingcheng said again.

Xue Mei heard it, he had to go.

No one can stop what King Rui wants to do.

Xue Mei was afraid that she would refuse, so she turned up the mountain and found that he had arrived.

"Okay, go with us." Xue Mei said, "There are so many people."

Xue Chi and Xue Run both despise their sisters for being insane and let Prince Rui control them.

Xue Chi, who listened silently, said, "I won't go anymore. I was worried about your safety. With the prince here, I don't have to worry about it."

Xue Mei: "One more person is not many."

Xue Chi still refused.

Xue Mei has always been reluctant to force others, so Xue Chi really didn't plan to go, so she didn't force her.

Xiao Jingcheng glanced at Xue Chi.

Xue Chi did not look at him and ate silently.

After dinner, Xiao Jingcheng left the princess's mansion and Xue Mei sent him. He seemed to have something to say, but he held back when he spoke.

"What?" Xue Mei knew that it was the elder brother's abnormality, but Xiao Jingcheng was still pretending to be stupid.

Her eldest brother won't harm her, Xue Mei is sure of this.

She tried her best to cover up the other things for her elder brother, after all, she had never mentioned Xue Mei's strangeness.

The little prince would say that Xue Mei's medicine came from inexplicably, but the elder brother who lived in the same yard had never asked.

Xue Mei was very grateful to him, so she also wanted to repay him.

"You... forget it." Xiao Jingcheng waved his hand, "I'll come here early tomorrow and prepare my breakfast."

Xue Mei is not a fool. Xiao Jingcheng could see that she deliberately ignored Xue Chi's affairs, so she couldn't forcefully expose it, so she had to turn the topic abruptly.

"Okay." She smiled, "What do you want to eat?"

Xiao Jingcheng: "White Porridge."

Xue Mei: "..."

The next day, Xiao Jingcheng came to have breakfast early, and Xue Mei prepared several things.

Prince Rui, who was planning to eat white porridge, tasted the beef noodles made by Dai's mother himself, and felt that the white porridge was bland and refused to eat it again.

Dai's mother also heard that Prince Rui was coming for breakfast, so she cooked in person.

Usually she only cooks it once or twice a month for Xue Mei to eat.

Xue Mei couldn't bear to let her work. Her confidants all followed Xue Mei to enjoy the happiness, which was a reward for their loyalty back then.

As long as Xue Mei is alive, she will protect them for the rest of her life.

"...You can do it?" Xiao Jingcheng was still unsatisfied and asked Xue Mei.

Xue Mei said he was stupid: "I don't need to know how to do it. If I marry you, Dai's mother will be my dowry, and she will also go to Prince Rui's Mansion and can do it for you at any time."

Xiao Jingcheng immediately asked: "Is it okay to marry after getting rid of the clothes?"

Xue Mei: "..."

She was about to say something sarcastic, but when she saw Xiao Jingcheng pursing his lips slightly, he told his own voice with a joke.

Xue Mei felt sad.

She couldn't speak anymore, so she looked at Xiao Jingcheng helplessly, and her heart was up and down.

Xiao Jingcheng quickly covered up his past, pretending that nothing happened and asked nothing.

On the way, Xiao Jingcheng, Xue Run and Xue Mei were riding in a carriage, and Xue Mei’s maid, Jinping, followed him, and took another one.

When we arrived at the second room, Xier also arrived.

Xi'er didn't change much after marriage, and she was still so charming, quiet and gentle. She imagined that she was nourished by love and became cheerful and lively, but she did not appear.

Her life was as calm as water, as she hoped.

Xue Mei went to sit with her second aunt and Xier.

The three of them chatted, and Xue Mei asked Xier: "Why don't my sister-in-law come with you?"

"Mom asked him to study." Xi'er said, "He doesn't like going out too much."

Xue Mei nodded and asked Xier again: "How are they treating you?"

Xier: "It's very good."

Instead, she was a little puzzled by Xue Mei's question.

Xue Mei just asked casually, just an ordinary sister cared about her sister.

When they arrived at Ersheng Temple, they unexpectedly met two groups of people who burned incense, and they were all known to Xue Mei.
