Entering the Palace to meet

On the first night when Xue Mei returned to the Princess's Mansion, Xiao Jingcheng returned and he could not live here.

She suddenly couldn't sleep anymore, so she asked Dai's mother to sleep with her.

When she was very young, Dai's mother took her to sleep. Until she had her own little thoughts, she refused to let Dai's mother accompany her.

"... At that time, I was just interested in fun and didn't ask anyone to stop her." Xue Mei said about Hongluan and smiled, "Actually, I'm a little selfish - Hongluan said, let me find a higher military rank for her.

Where did I go to find it? After searching, I was not as good as Shi Yong. His future was guaranteed.

I also value it one thing: Shi Yong has been with his elder brother for many years and never left him when he was in a downturn. It can be seen that this person is loyal and can endure hardships. There are no flaws in his character.

I don’t agree with belittled love, but sometimes I think about it. Even though he knows that Hongluan is not good, he can’t help but be attracted to her. Isn’t this kind of relationship stronger?

After all, in our daily life, who will always be a fairy? A man who loves you even if you are not good is better than others..."

After hearing this, Dai's mother sighed: "I understand the eldest lady's meaning. Is it good medicine good for the disease?"

Xue Mei smiled.

The maids were all settled, and Xue Mei felt at ease.

She was tired from rushing to the road. After chatting for a few words, Xue Mei fell asleep and slept very soundly.

The next morning, she got up before dawn.

She had something to do in her heart and woke up very early.

Dai's mother and Jinping served her to change clothes and comb her hair, and the maids served breakfast.

When Xue Mei cleaned up and walked out of the princess's mansion, there were actually eunuchs waiting from afar.

"Princess, the Empress Dowager of the Grandpa has an order to invite the princess to come to the palace to meet. The princess, the carriage is outside the gatehouse." The eunuch was respectful.

Xue Mei hasn't been called the princess for many days, and she sounds quite friendly.

Because the stone at her door, even the carriage sent by the Empress Dowager, could not pass by, so she had to park outside the door.

Thinking of this, Xue Mei glanced at the Princess's Mansion opposite again.

The gate of the eldest princess's mansion seemed to be rusted and had not been open for many years. However, someone flashed across the side door, and someone should have sent to monitor Xue Mei's every move.

Xue Mei smiled.

"It's a good father-in-law." She stuffed a small purse to the eunuch and walked out with her.

Xue Mei knows how to make points very important.

When the emperor, the largest master of the palace, did not like her, she would have to establish a good relationship with these serving people, at least to prevent them from making trouble in secret.

In Chu State, Xue Mei did not need to make small moves.

The Empress Dowager sent over to a dark flat-topped carriage.

Xue Mei could not bring any servants when she entered the palace, so she only had a carriage on her.

When he entered the palace gate all the way and arrived at the Empress Dowager Qi, Xue Mei showed a little surprise.

Qi looked much older.

It was as if old age suddenly came to her, causing her skin that kept alive to lose moisture. Maybe because of the death of the late emperor, she no longer felt scared and neglected to take care of her.

Xue Mei is a lazy guy, so she knows that it is very tiring to insist on daily maintenance.

Especially when I am reluctant, I feel exhausted both physically and mentally.

After she paid tribute, the Empress Dowager Qi asked her to sit beside her. Xue Mei looked Qi up close and realized that her skin was in good condition.

I felt that she was much older at first sight because of her hair.

Qi already has half a head of gray hair.

"Why is the empress's hair white?" Xue Mei asked.

Qi: "Genetics. The mother and sister of Ai's family both turned gray after being in their fifties. Before, the Ai family had been drinking medicine and taking care of the medicine.

But the medicine was unbearable for the Ai family, and then when I thought about it, what was scary about gray hair, I simply stopped drinking it.”

As expected by Xue Mei.

Xue Mei nodded: "Flowers bloom and fall, they are all natural laws. White hair is indeed not scary. It is terrible to drink medicine that harms the body and damage health."

Qi nodded with a smile.

The two of them have disappeared for five years and are not unfamiliar at all. They have something to talk about as soon as they meet.

Qi was concerned about politics. She asked Xue Mei about the royal family of Chu and asked specifically: "Do those people in Chu want to return to the Central Plains?"

"Don't want to, they never thought that the Central Plains was their hometown. To them, Shu was their hometown." Xue Mei said.

Qi nodded with satisfaction.

There are no militants in Chu, which is very good.

"There is another thing. The Ai family heard some of it, but didn't say it carefully." Qi said again.

"You said, Empress."

"Cheng Lanqing, what's going on with her?"

Xue Mei told the Empress Dowager about Cheng Lanqing one by one.

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager was silent for a long time. Xue Mei felt that she was very surprised.

I just don’t know if what surprised her was Cheng Lanqing’s ability, Xue Mei’s ability, or Xiao Jingcheng’s.

The aunt who was in charge outside looked at it twice. Empress Dowager Qi saw it and asked the aunt to come in.

"Empress, Wanren Palace sent people several times; the empress also sent people to ask," said the aunt.

The Empress Dowager Hu lives in Wanren Palace.

Qi smiled and said, "How many people are thinking about you. Go and wait until you go back to Ai's house for meals, so that the queen can come too."

Xue Meidao is.

There is still a sound of mahjong in Wanren Palace, and Empress Dowager Hu cannot do without this thing.

Xue Mei came in and a little palace maid gave up her seat.

After Xue Mei saluted Hu, she sat down and played cards with her.

"...Why have you become beautiful?" Empress Dowager Hu looked at Xue Mei, "What do you think?"

The two palace concubines who were accompanying him were Xiao Mingzheng's concubines. They had never seen Xue Mei before, so they smiled and didn't know how to answer.

In the eyes of these two concubines, Xue Mei is extremely bright and charming, especially the mole on the eyebrows, which is particularly charming. However, when others talk about her, they always mention that she looks ordinary.

Are all called ordinary?

"Maybe because I have walked through more mountains and rivers, my mood is wider, and my facial features are also wider, making you more pleasing to the eye." Xue Mei said.

Empress Dowager Hu: "..."

She has not changed at all, eating, walking, and playing mahjong all day long.

After a while of fighting, she felt tired, so she asked Xue Mei to accompany her to the Imperial Garden for a walk.

"...Did you see Ming Yu when you come back this time?" Empress Dowager Hu asked Xue Mei.

Xue Mei shook her head: "I haven't been ignorant yet to see you."

"Mingyu has been living a ridiculous life these days. He sold the Ancheng County Prince's Mansion and found a new house. Alas, the Ai family can't go out. Anyway, I heard that he is doing a bad life." Empress Dowager Hu said, "Since you are back, please help him."

Xue Mei's heart skipped a beat.

Cheng Lanqing was dead, but the little prince buried her by himself. What did he do this time?

"What's wrong?"

"The four concubines in his mansion have been with him and have been killed. I saw that they did not leave any of them for him," said Empress Dowager Hu.

Xue Mei: "..."

It took her a long time to digest the meaning of this sentence.
