It was rare that the heat had subsided. Xue Mei slept very lazy that day and rolled in the bed for a long time when she woke up.

At noon, she was pulled up by her maids and said that she hadn't eaten breakfast yet and was about to be hungry.

While having dinner, the maid Xiuzhu said to Xue Mei: "Miss, there is something big about this morning, it has something to do with you."

After hearing this, Xue Mei naturally thought it was the follow-up to the assertion that Princess Rong gave birth to a daughter.

Unexpectedly, I heard that Qi Siran was confined.

It sounds a bit surprising at first, but it is reasonable.

If it were Xue Mei, such a person in the family might threaten everyone, and she would also circle this dangerous element.

How could Empress Dowager Qi allow Qi Siran to exist?

Even Qi Siran could threaten the Empress Dowager and Xiao Jingcheng. Not killing her was because she had watched her father sacrifice his life for the country.

"Princess, the Empress Dowager is so nice to you." The second-class maid Shan Xiu complimented with another second-class maid Shuiming.

Xue Mei smiled.

Hongluan was still a childish temper and smiled and bragged to the maids: "The Empress Dowager must love our eldest lady. In the future, the eldest lady will be the princess for King Rui."

Xue Mei continued to eat.

Xiuzhu and Dai's mother felt that this was not simple, but they knew that the eldest lady would not say much, so they didn't ask.

There was a lot of rumor outside.

Xue Mei is cooking oil a little hot now.

Her reputation reached the extreme and would soon arouse the disgust of countless people and would be criticized by others.

Although many people feared Empress Dowager Qi, they felt that Xue Mei was rude and ungrateful and could not tolerate anyone in this matter.

"This is a witch who has won over His Majesty, the Queen Mother and His Highness of King Rui."

"Her medicine is extremely magical. She must have ecstasy medicine. If she has put a slap on Prince Rui, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty will not be spared."

"Miss Qi Si is really pitiful. She was exempted from the ban and was suspended. Just her cousin said a few words to Princess Chengyang and was hit by the disaster for no reason."

Princess Baoqing likes to listen to these words very much and sends people to add fuel to the fire.

Princess Xinxiao likes Xue Mei very much and has visited her once. Because she has to walk in front of Xue Mei’s mansion, Princess Xinxiao feels it’s a bit troublesome.

Then, the emperor also heard about it.

The emperor also asked Empress Dowager Qi: "Why are you so angry with your niece?"

Empress Dowager Qi: "If a child is ignorant, he must teach him well."

"You are so doting Cheng Yang." The emperor said, "Cheng Yang has always been arrogant, and you may have to spoil her to the point of lawlessness."

"The Ai family has envied lawless people since childhood, but Cheng Yang is so angry with me."

emperor:"……"

On the side of Prince Rong's Mansion, Empress Dowager Qi indeed hired a monk and said that the child was too rich.

Therefore, King Rong asked for an order and returned the wet nurses sent by the palace to the palace, leaving four of them behind; all the eunuchs and the palace maids were returned.

The emperor also promised to compensate the Rong Prince's Mansion for 3,000 taels of silver per month.

King Rong didn't expect that there was an unexpected joy and was very happy.

When he was happy, he forgot about the fear he had suffered a few days ago.

When Qi Siran was confined, King Rong was scared to death. Although Qi Siran was the mastermind of this matter, he was also considered an accomplice.

Fortunately, everyone is saying that Xue Mei is domineering, and no one is exploring the reason why Qi Siran is confined.

Xiao Jingcheng was very unhappy about this.

Only he understood Empress Dowager Qi’s intention.

Empress Dowager Qi must not only stop Qi Siran, but also make it impossible for everyone to guess the reasons behind this matter, such as the emperor.

Xue Mei is the best shield.

When Miss Zhou and Xue Mei had some conflict, Empress Dowager Qi immediately came up with this idea.

Xiao Jingcheng went to find Empress Dowager Qi.

Empress Dowager Qi took it for granted: "You give her so many good things to her family, treat her as her daughter-in-law, and borrow her at critical moments, and you will feel distressed?"

Xiao Jingcheng: "... Then you can't cheat her!"

Empress Dowager Qi was a little alienated from Xiao Jingcheng before, but with Xue Mei's arrival, she became closer.

She said lightly: "I'm just a cheat, how are you going?"

Xiao Jingcheng: “…”

Then, Prince Rui came to the door and personally apologized to Xue Mei, saying that the matter was too much for his mother to let Xue Mei bear these rumors.

Xue Mei was confused.

"What rumors? Everyone says I am very powerful and they are afraid of me." Xue Mei said.

Xiao Jingcheng: “…”

"I want both powerful and good reputation, which is called greed. If a person is greedy, the end result may not be able to get anything." Xue Mei smiled and said, "If I am not greedy, I want real benefits."

He was worried that Xue Mei would be angry, and that his mother would mind.

As a result, Xue Mei and his mother had a tacit understanding. Both of them were very satisfied with the result and felt at ease in the process.

Xiao Jingcheng is no longer a human inside and outside.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is indeed difficult - Xiao Jingcheng thinks it is too difficult to be the person in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and no one cares about his anxiety.

Seeing Xiao Jingcheng's cripple, Xue Mei laughed.

She was quite happy.

With the goal achieved, Xiao Jingcheng also put his heart in his stomach. If he suffers some grievances, he will be wronged.

When he was about to leave, the maid on duty at the second sect came in and reported, "Princess, the young doctor of the Lu family is here."

Xiao Jingcheng knew it was Lu Shu.

Every time Xue Mei meets Lu Shu, she is serious.

Xiao Jingcheng was not jealous. He didn't even eat Xiao Mingyu's jealousy because Xue Mei and Xiao Mingyu plotted against each other.

The only thing he was wary of was Wen Zhao.

Wen Zhao is indeed not capable, but Xue Mei falls in love with him, and Prince Rui cannot scratch his face.

Xiao Jingcheng nodded slightly: "You have a guest, I'll go back first."

Xue Mei pulled his sleeve.

Xiao Jingcheng was slightly stunned.

Xue Mei leaned into his ear and whispered: "We will make roasted chicken tonight and roast fresh meat mooncakes. You can eat before leaving."

Xiao Jingcheng: “…”

You can keep the food as long as you leave it, why should you get so close and be so ambiguous?

He was distracted by her. Seeing her joking expression, Xiao Jingcheng became angry from the bottom of his heart.

He glared at Xue Mei fiercely.

Xue Mei: "Can you leave after dinner, okay?"

Xiao Jingcheng: “…”

Prince Rui's feet seemed to be mixed up by something, unable to walk anymore, and willingly stayed for meals.

He sat and didn't move.

Xue Mei got up and went to the outer courtyard to see Lu Shu.

She was guessing whether Lu Shu was coming for Qi Siran, thinking about countermeasures in her mind.

Lu Shu arrived early.

The heat was only slightly reduced, and it was still very hot in the afternoon. Lu Shu wore a light gray summer cloth dark clothes, his steps were gentle and his expression was relaxed, which didn't seem to be difficult.

Xue Mei knew that he was not doing it for Qi Siran, and his smile showed more sincerity at him.

"Old ancestor, in a few days it will be the Ullambane Festival. Our brothers plan to rent a pleasure boat. Can our ancestors enjoy their faces and play?" Lu Shu asked.

Xue Mei suddenly remembered the pleasure boat from last year.

The fact that she was lifted up by Xiao Jingcheng and hit her head was vividly remembered.

In a blink of an eye, a year has passed.

She has been an ancient person for a long time.

"...I'm afraid I'm not available." Xue Mei smiled, "I have agreed to Prince Rui."

Although Xiao Jingcheng has not mentioned it yet, he must have made arrangements.

If Xue Mei promised others, how disappointed he would be.

Lu Shu was not surprised and nodded: "Then I'm late."
