Was Mingmei surprised that Lu Xiaoyao rejected her again?
Not surprising.
But she still didn't expect that Lu Xiaoyao's reasons for refusing her were different every time!
This time, even though she refused, Mingmei could still see that damned "I'm doing this for your own good" look on the other person's face.
Mingmei really wanted to lift Lu Xiaoyao upside down to drain the water!
"I'm tired, let's go back to sleep."
Mingmei took a deep breath, feeling utterly exhausted and disillusioned. Lu Xiaoyao was puzzled by Mingmei's reaction.
You were full of energy just a moment ago, how come you're suddenly tired?
Could it be that fatigue levels are delayed when doing that kind of thing?
I'm tired, I'm going out for a smoke~
I'm tired, I'm going back to work for a bit~
I'm tired, I'm going to memorize some vocabulary words~
【I'm numb~ I'm going to go slack off a bit.】
[The question mark before the question mark]
[It's a live stream administrator!]
...
Outside the imperial city, at the Prince An's residence.
"Your Highness, it's late, aren't you going to sleep?"
"Wait a little longer."
The eunuch's voice rang out again from outside the door. Zhen Po stared at the pile of documents on the desk, almost tearing off her character's long hair.
The system has a way to help him recognize the ancient Blue Star script, but! The translation process is still slow. He relied on the character information and the letters exchanged in his study over the past afternoon and evening, but he still couldn't fully understand the power he held and the urgent issues he needed to resolve.
In the end, Zhen Po simply transferred her emotions and passionately berated the Imperial Parliament, since no one would know anyway.
Now, in his eyes, the court officials in this story are just like those politicians who don't show their skills on the battlefield, but instead play tricks in the rear!
General Mei Qiu had previously come forward to announce what he had done over the years and the reasons for doing so. Although he did not mention the group of people in the parliament, he was not stupid. Weren't those who had never even been on the battlefield the ones who led the criticism of their military and questioned Mei Qiu?
Now, it seems that I am playing the role of an ambitious person who only chatters in the court and divides up factions and forces.
"Damn it... I don't know how to play tricks!"
Zhen Po slumped onto the table, staring blankly at the inkstone beside him. He recalled the emperor's scolding of them earlier that day, and the thought of being scolded again when he went to court at dawn gave him a headache.
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort has sent someone to bring you some late-night snacks."
Before things had even calmed down, Zhen Po remembered that this character actually had a wife, which was something that Zhen Po, who had been in a relationship for over twenty years, couldn't handle. During the day, the other party would bring fruit, and at dinner, there would be all sorts of hints. Even though it was so late, the other party still remembered to bring a midnight snack!
They're making their presence felt way too much!
He's not at the point where he's really ready to have marital relations with an NPC!
"Come in, leave, and then you'll be fine."
Zhen Po couldn't refuse the other party's kindness, so he had the maid bring in the late-night snack. Looking at the other party's clothes, Zhen Po remembered that she was Lianxiang, the head maid of the prince's wife.
Lianxiang kept her head slightly lowered and her eyes fixed straight ahead. After placing the late-night snack on the table, she told Zhen Po that it contained a cooling duck soup, then turned and quietly moved backwards, facing Zhen Po, leaving the room. (www.cascoo.net)
Before leaving, Lianxiang looked up and saw that the other person was still looking down at official documents. She then quickly scanned the study and found nothing unusual. She breathed a sigh of relief and went back to report the news to the princess.
Are you sure there aren't other women in the study?
Late at night, Princess An, waiting for Zhen Po to arrive but he didn't come, leaned against the bed, her almond-shaped eyes narrowed, expressing her dissatisfaction at being suddenly neglected by the Third Prince today.
"Your Highness, there is no such thing. Don't you know His Highness's study? He never lets anyone into that place, not even the eunuchs who serve him personally."
If Zhen Po were there and saw the master and servant studying him so thoroughly, he would have shouted, "The army can't function without you as scouts!"
"It's all because of this incident!"
Princess An had naturally heard about what had happened in the past few days. She frowned her beautiful eyebrows. She had entered the palace yesterday and knew about the Emperor's outburst.
The Empress Dowager was just giving her the runaround today, and she didn't get any useful information. Meanwhile, her own father had been confined to his quarters lately due to court affairs, leaving all the pressure on her husband, the Prince. Could it be that she was being treated coldly by the Prince because she hadn't gotten any information today?
"Any news from the other women of the royal family?"
"Your Highness, as you know, Princess Qing has been resting and taking care of her pregnancy ever since she became pregnant. The affairs of the manor are all managed by Prince Qing's trusted confidants. All the people we sent there were purged. As for Princess Yong, don't you understand? She is detached from worldly affairs. Prince Yong allows her to compose poems and invites some female officials' wives to hold poetry gatherings and flower banquets from time to time."
As for the bachelor Ying Wang, his boudoir is too empty for them to inquire about now.
"So I'm the only one worrying about this?"
"Your Highness is truly blessed to have such a virtuous and capable wife as Your Highness."
Zhen Po felt uncomfortable about suddenly having a wife in the game. Similarly, her older brother, who played the Second Prince Yong, and Yuan Fang, who played the First Prince Qing, also felt uncomfortable, as they both had a lot of troubles as soon as they returned home.
Yuan Fang, in particular, received a message from his confidant when he returned to his residence today—the Princess Consort of Qing had secretly sent someone to spread a message, but their people had already taken control of the message.
