Chapter 363: Ambitions Higher Than the Sky

Pei Shaorong was silent for a moment after hearing Xu Muhua's sarcastic words, and opened her mouth to say something to defend Sun Xuehe. But she opened and closed her mouth, and opened and closed it again, but she couldn't say anything to defend herself.

Because even she couldn't deceive herself and make excuses for Xuehe saying that she had her own difficulties. Saying that she simply didn't like the people who were introduced, not... looking down on them.

How could she not see Xuehe's thoughts?

At first, she discussed it with the prince and got the prince's permission before she found an opportunity to mention this matter to Xuehe.

At that time, her expression was a little strange, but she still pretended to be happy and agreed.

But as soon as she told the situation of the people who were introduced, the smile on her face immediately disappeared. No matter

how much she pretended, she couldn't hide the disdain and contempt in her eyes. Yes, the people introduced by the prince were indeed not of noble birth. There was one who was of noble birth, but he had fallen into poverty long ago and was unworthy of the name of a noble. The remaining three were all from humble backgrounds.

But the advantage is that each of them has a promising future and is good at both civil and military affairs. Those who choose the path of civil officials will struggle for more than ten years, or even a few years if they are faster, and they will definitely achieve something. Those who choose the path of military generals are all very good in skills, and it will not be difficult for them to become a general in the future. If there is a war, it will be easier to make meritorious deeds.

In fact, everyone knows how the emperor's health is.

When the prince succeeds to the throne, he will naturally have people he is used to. So, the confidants around the prince now, why worry about not having the opportunity to make achievements in the future?

But Xue He just couldn't see this point, and only focused on the issue of origin!

There was a kind of complaint in her words about why she was only willing to introduce such a person from a poor family to her. Did she think from the bottom of her heart that she was only worthy of such a person.

She was so angry at the time that she wanted to give up.

"Mu Hua, how did Xue He become like this?"

She didn't seem to know her anymore.

Xu Mu Hua curled her lips, really unwilling to hit her.

"Is it possible that you have never really understood her?"

She asked sincerely.

Pei Shaorong was choked, but still unconvinced, "But, but we have known each other for so long, before...she was not like this!"

Xu Muhua said again: "Is it possible that it was because you were still young before, and there was no interest involved when you interacted with each other, so you got along well?"

Being young and girls, the rise and fall of the family's glory can't be pressed on them for the time being. There is no interest involved in their usual interactions, as long as they get along well, they can be friends.

But now they have grown up, one has become the high and mighty Crown Princess, and the other has to be married to an old man by her family to be someone else's stepmother. The son is not much younger than herself.

Wouldn't people with bad hearts become distorted and psychologically unbalanced when encountering such things?

Pei Shaorong said angrily, "Do you have to be so blunt?"

Can't you give her a little hope?

Xu Muhua spread her hands, "Why bother? The facts are in front of you, what you have to do is to accept it, not deceive yourself and say it's fake."

Self-deception is not a good thing.

"But we have been friends for so many years after all!"

She was wholeheartedly for her own good and tried her best to help her solve the problem.

Xuehe didn't like the people she introduced, so who did she like? The prince? With her background, it was impossible for her to enter the East Palace as a concubine. She would rather enter the East Palace as a concubine than be someone's wife, right?

Does she think that she is the Crown Princess, so even if she enters the East Palace as a concubine, she is not afraid with her protection, and can live a comfortable life, and even beg her to persuade the Crown Prince to favor her?

Thinking of this, Pei Shaorong's heart was less melancholy and more indifferent.

Anyway, as a friend, she has done her best. If

Xuehe is still not satisfied, then she can't do anything.

She can't send her friend to the bed of her future husband!

If Xuehe hates her and blames her for this, then let her do it!

She has a clear conscience!

"Okay, don't worry about her affairs. Today is my coming-of-age day. Don't say anything to spoil the fun."

Xu Muhua saw that the people playing outside were about to enter the house, and hurriedly said to Pei Shaorong.

Pei Shaorong also noticed it, nodded, and restrained the complicated expression on her face.

Lu Yingzhu and a few others walked in arm in arm, talking and laughing.

"Muhua, what do you think if I borrow your tiger cub to play with and take it home to raise for a few days?"

Mo Ying asked excitedly.

Xu Muhua glared at her, "Sure, but if anyone in your house scares the tiger cub and makes it go on a killing spree, it will be none of my business!"

Mo Ying's expression froze instantly, her eyes widened slightly, and a bloody picture emerged uncontrollably in her mind.

She was so scared that she shook her head quickly, "Forget it, I don't have your ability to tame a tiger."

The tiger cub would definitely not listen to her. If it went crazy, everyone in her house would suffer!

Lu Yingzhu suggested: "Tiger boy won't work, but Grandpa should be fine."

Mo Ying's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Grandpa, forget it. It's so arrogant! Unless it wants to, I can't force it. Even if you take it back, it will run away by itself and get angry with me."

Mo Ying sighed: "Muhua, why are all the animals you raise so special! In fact, I also have cats at home, but they are ordinary cats, and they can't be compared with Grandpa."

Grandpa, who had just jumped onto the windowsill, meowed a few times when he heard this, and several people heard the pride in his voice.

Foolish human, is Grandpa worthy of every cat? It is a rare and exquisite cat!

Mo Ying's eyes were filled with curiosity, and she wanted to pick up the master and run away to take it back!

The master seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and raised his chubby legs, and a cold light flashed in the light!

That was the master's sharp claws.

Mo Ying shrank her neck and moved closer to Xu Muhua.

Hey, just now she felt threatened by the master!

But how could the master know what she was thinking?

Well, it must be a misunderstanding, an illusion!

Seeing Mo Ying's timid look, the master showed a look of contempt.

How dare you steal it with such courage?

The master walked on the windowsill with elegant steps, and his fluffy tail swayed rhythmically like an umbrella. It makes people want to reach out and touch it, or even rub it with their face.

It must be very comfortable!

A big white cat was walking on the windowsill, and several pretty girls like flowers were standing or sitting in front of the couch, whispering. The sunlight shone in from the open window, casting a layer of golden light on everything by the window.
