Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 334: Make a wish, long time no see

"Hua Mei, it's okay. Others have their own mouths. Whatever they want to say is their business. In my heart, as long as King Cheng doesn't think that way, that's all that matters."

Xuyuan has always been open-minded.

In other words, we have seen many people use any means necessary to gain fame and fortune.

She doesn't care.

Anyway, we all live our own lives behind closed doors.

Rumors are scary, but they are ultimately no more harmful than the harm caused by swords and sabers.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan continued, "Hua Mei, you have to know that people live for themselves, not for others. When you have power and influence, others will respect you. When you have no power and influence, there will be people who will take advantage of you. Instead of trying to please these people, you should cherish those who share the hardships with you. These are the people I am going to meet today."

When they learned that she was a girl, they did not stand idly by, but worked even harder to help her.

Xuyuan will always keep this friendship in his heart.

As for the rest, Xuyuan doesn't care.

But she knew that Huamei cared, so she had to gradually teach Huamei to take these people and things lightly.

"Okay." Huamei was reluctantly convinced.

She climbed into the car and sat quietly on the side.

Xuyuan was wearing a light green long skirt today. Although it was a long skirt, the cuffs were tightly wrapped.

Huamei didn’t understand before, but now she understands.

That's just in case.

The clothes Xuyuan wore were not only suitable for fighting, but there was also a dagger hidden inside his boots.

It looks like they will fight with others whenever they follow.

But how can a girl in the boudoir...

Huamei's thoughts froze for a moment, and she immediately shook her head violently.

The lady said that I don’t like her saying these things.

Yes, you can go anywhere you want, so why do you want to trap yourself in the backyard and be jealous?

Thinking of this, Huamei suddenly understood.

Xu Yuan saw Huamei shaking her head and nodding, so he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. I just suddenly felt that what the young lady said makes sense. I want to be like you in the future." Xu Yuan smiled and said nothing.

When Xuyuan arrived at Wu Ji Restaurant, a carriage was already parked outside the restaurant.

There was a character "五" hanging above it, and Xu Yuan guessed that Wu Shiming must have arrived first.

She didn't invite many people today, including Wu Shiming, Sun Wenjie, Xie Xiaocheng, and Bei Yao.

I just don’t know if Beiyao can make it.

Xuyuan and Huamei entered Wuji Restaurant one after another.

When the shopkeeper saw Xu Yuan, he immediately took him to the private room on the third floor.

Wu Shiming had arrived early and was waiting in the private room to make a wish. In addition, Xie Xiaocheng was also there.

Xie Xiaocheng was born a military general, and he has a murderous aura.

When Huamei first saw Xuyuan, she was a little scared and didn't want to go in. But she was also worried about Xuyuan going alone, so she had to bite the bullet and follow behind him.

Wu Shiming and Xie Xiaocheng stood up at the same time, and Xie Xiaocheng was the first to speak: "Miss Xu, long time no see."

Xu Yuan nodded and said, "Thank you, General. Thank you for remembering to make a wish."

"Miss Xu, you are too polite. Others may not remember, but I will definitely remember Miss Xu. If it weren't for Miss Xu, I'm afraid I would still be in Shuozhou now. I have to say that Miss Xu is really capable."

There was no compliment in Xie Xiaocheng's words.

A big part of the reason why he was able to be transferred back to the capital was because of Beiyao.

But wishing also plays an important role in this.

Xie Xiaocheng knew who his benefactor was.

What's more, Zhang Yue used to work under him, and now he supports Beiyao. He is very grateful and respectful to Xu Yuan.

What if I make a wish and become the queen?

No one can say for sure about this kind of thing.

Xie Xiaocheng also understands Beiyao, and he knows what Beiyao wants to do.

He said he would marry Xuyuan, and he would definitely marry her home.

The Xu family today should not be underestimated.

"General Xie went to Shuozhou because he was wrongly accused. It is only natural for him to return to Beijing."

Wu Shiming listened to the two people still being polite and couldn't help but said, "Alright, we are all old acquaintances, there is no need to be so polite. Sit down, today's meal is on me, as a welcome for Xu Yuan."

"That won't do! Let me do it." Xie Xiaocheng said.

"I'm the owner of Wu's Restaurant." Wu Shiming glanced at Xie Xiaocheng and said, "If General Xie wants to treat us, let's do it next time."

"Then next time we treat you, we have to go to a different place. We can't let you take all our money." Xie Xiaocheng said with a laugh.

Officials and businessmen should not have much contact.

But because of Xu Yuan, he has a good relationship with Wu Shiming.

The most important thing is that Wu Shiming had no intention of taking advantage of him when he interacted with him, and Wu Shiming was a very loyal person.

After Xu Yuan was imprisoned, Wu Shiming took care of a lot of things.

The drum that echoed throughout the capital that day was also struck by Wu Shiming.

Xie Xiaocheng is different from other ministers.

They value their careers, while Xie Xiaocheng values ​​loyalty.

The atmosphere in the private room was harmonious. Xu Yuan glanced at Huamei who was still a little reserved behind him, pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Huamei, you sit down too."

"Is this Miss Xu's girl?"

Xie Xiaocheng reacted and said immediately: "Don't be afraid, young lady. Even though we are just a bunch of rough guys, we have a good relationship with your young lady!"

Huamei shook her head and said, "Miss, I'd better stand."

Wu Shiming heard this and said, "Please sit down. Your young lady has asked you to sit down. We are not proper masters. Please don't be polite."

Huamei looked at Xuyuan for help.

Xu Yuan raised his lips and smiled: "Hua Mei, sit down, there's no need to be too particular."

Huamei was still a little afraid. As she was hesitating, she heard a laugh from outside, and then a man in a red official robe walked in.

Seeing that everyone in the room was paying attention to the newcomer, Huamei immediately took a step back and pretended not to have heard the wish.

The person who came was Sun Wenjie.

Xuyuan invited him and he came after finishing his official duties.

Seeing Xu Yuan at this moment, he couldn't help but joked: "Miss Xu, it's been a long time since we last met. You look even more heroic."

After Sun Wenjie finished speaking, he bowed.

Xie Xiaocheng said: "You have to be a scholar to praise others so elegantly, unlike a rough man like me who can't even speak."

Compared with Wu Shiming, Sun Wenjie has a better relationship with Xie Xiaocheng.

After hearing what Xie Xiaocheng said, he immediately said, "Of course, otherwise, this official hat would be worn in vain."

Sun Wenjie's legs and feet were not good, so he slowly walked inside and sat down, and asked Xu Yuan, "Will His Royal Highness Prince Cheng come?"

If you come, you still have to be careful.

If I don’t come…it doesn’t seem appropriate.

Xu Yuan was not sure either, so he shook his head and said, "I heard something happened in the palace, and I don't know if he will come today."

The incident of Bei Yuan's poisoning has not yet come to a conclusion.

Xu Yuan guessed that the emperor should have handed this matter over to Bei Yao.

However, the person who dared to poison the palace must have some means behind the scenes. Xu Yuan also suspected that the person who poisoned the palace might be Bei Yuan himself.

But these were just her guesses and she couldn't say them out loud.

"It's just a small incident in the palace." Xie Xiaocheng said, looking at Huamei calmly.

Huamei understood that this person was going to talk about something that she couldn't know, so she immediately said, "Miss, I'll wait for you outside."

After all, she was the girl who made a wish. Wu Shiming waved his hand and said, "Go to the private room next door and order whatever you want. Don't be polite. Just treat this place as your own."

After thanking her, Huamei went out.

Xie Xiaocheng then spoke up, "Master Shen is about to resign, and the court has been in chaos for a while. At the morning court today, I heard that Prime Minister Qi also intends to resign. I heard that he is planning to leave the capital with the former Crown Princess and return to his hometown to spend his remaining years. However, the Emperor was reluctant to let Master Shen go, so how could he let Prime Minister Qi leave? The Empress Dowager summoned people into the palace early this morning. I think... the Emperor is going to grant the Qi family a marriage."

Xie Xiaocheng's words were ambiguous, but the three people present understood them.

Make a wish, lower your eyes, and your heart will be as clear as a mirror.

Who else except Bei Yao could marry a girl from the Qi family?

Sun Wenjie glanced at Xu Yuan and said, "Miss Xu, don't worry. This matter has not been decided yet. What's more, everyone in the capital knows who Qi Shengzhu has in mind. I think Qi Shengzhu is not happy about it."
