"Meng Xian, you're such a fool! You've let a wolf into your house without even realizing it, and you've treated her like a good sister. Unfortunately, in her eyes, you're just a stepping stone to a new life."
The woman's malicious voice fell, and silence fell all around.
Xie Wan'er's heart tightened, and she subconsciously looked at the girl beside her, saying anxiously, "Xi'er, don't listen to the Eighth Princess's nonsense. The eldest young master and I didn't..."
Before Meng Xi could say anything, Xi He in the compartment turned around and asked with a half-smile, "Young Master?"
Xiao Huaiyu's face turned embarrassed: "Mother, it's just a common name, it doesn't have any other meaning."
Xi He raised an eyebrow. "Oh? If it's boring, then it's boring. But you're coming of age soon, so it's time to schedule your marriage." Glancing at the tearful girl downstairs, "Miss Xie has a gentle temperament, is modest, and has a kind nature, but she's a little unfit to be a queen."
She was not belittling the heroine. The queen is the mother of a country. She must not only have good moral character, but also be magnanimous and tolerant in dealing with people.
Looking at what the heroine did after her rebirth in her previous life, and the love between her and the regent, it's okay for her to be a favorite concubine, but forget about being a queen.
Xiao Huaiyu was at a loss for words. "Mother, what are you talking about? I'm only giving her a little extra face for Xian'er's sake. How can this affect her status as Empress? Please don't ruin Miss Meng's reputation."
Xi He glanced at him and said, "Being an emperor is really different. You're lecturing me."
Xiao Huaiyu was speechless at this moment. He felt that everything he said was wrong. He was extremely helpless: "Mother, my son's mind is now fully focused on the affairs of the court. Let's talk about getting married later."
Xi He shook his head: "Your father has been able to help you delay for so many years, which is already the limit. If you delay it any further, the ministers will have objections."
"Can……"
Xiao Huaiyu opened his mouth, and Xihe was already looking downstairs.
The huge restaurant was now full of people. In the middle was the eighth princess of the dynasty, His Majesty's favorite sister, Miss Meng, and Meng Xian's first follower, Xie Wan'er.
The entire capital city knows that the daughter of the Prime Minister has a very good friend, Miss Xie.
Meng Xi'er always took her with her wherever she went, even to the palace. Because of this relationship, Lord Xie, who was just an invisible figure in the court, has been promoted step by step in recent years, and His Majesty has mentioned him many times in the court.
Naturally, there are also people who dislike this family, such as the eighth princess who is in the lead and the daughters of wealthy families behind her.
After a few years, the Eighth Princess finally realized the truth: she was no longer the princess held in the palm of the emperor's hand, but Meng Xi was!
He was obviously her royal brother, yet he doted on a girl who was not related to her by blood. Well, after her mother told her, she knew the reason why His Majesty was adopted.
She had done him a favor, and her brother the emperor relied on the Prime Minister and Prime Minister Qiang in the court, so she had nothing to say.
But what right does Xie Wan'er have?
She is just the daughter of a minor official!
"Young Master? Who are you trying to disgust, Xie Wan'er? Do you think you can call her Young Master? Come on, slap her in the face!"
Without waiting for everyone to react, two burly palace maids stepped forward immediately, one clamped Xie Wan'er's arm, and the other raised her hand and slapped her.
The room was filled with silence, and everyone was stunned by the Eighth Princess's actions.
Meng Xian reacted and immediately stepped forward: "Stop!" She pulled Xie Wan'er behind her and stared at the Eighth Princess with a frown.
The Eighth Princess was subconsciously timid under the girl's majestic gaze. When she realized what was happening, she immediately felt embarrassed and angry, stiffening her neck. "What are you looking at? Am I wrong? She's the daughter of a minor official. Why does she have the right to call me brother like that?"
"Meng Xi, I know that the emperor treats you specially, but you can't take advantage of his favor and get away with it!"
