It has been five months since Emperor Jianhong left. For the first time, he sent a message to Xue Chi, not asking about state affairs or holding accountable, but for Xue Mei.

"Your Majesty said that he has accepted you as his adopted daughter and wants to appoint you as Princess Chengyang. Let me tell the world in his name, and from then on you will be Princess Chengyang of my Chu State."

Xue Mei: "...Are you not your adopted daughter, Princess Feng?"

"Don't say this." Xue Chi said, "You ask Princess Fuling, isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor and the queen mother?"

Xue Mei: "..."

Although her workshop was still dealing with Princess Fuling, she was about to forget this person.

Princess Fuling is the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother. It is just rumored that she was the illegitimate daughter of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was born to the ministers by the Queen Mother.

But Xue Mei has gained a lot of knowledge recently, and she feels that the rumors are not so credible.

For example, King Jing’s mother, who is said to be stolen by the emperor and the wife of the minister. In fact, this is not the case at all.

But in the truth, there may be some secrets that cannot be spoken to external factors.

For example, the emperor was unwilling to speak out in the assassination of Prince Jing's mother when she died.

I don’t remember much in and outside the palace, but there was such an unpopular concubine who blocked the emperor’s sword.

Xue Mei was not interested in knowing what happened to Princess Fuling; Xue Mei didn’t care whether she was an illegitimate daughter.

But with this eldest princess, the emperor recognized Xue Mei as his adopted daughter and appointed Xue Mei as his princess. Others dare not speak out.

Otherwise, it means being disrespectful to the Empress Dowager, and the emperor can take the opportunity to attack.

"The princess must be much more decent than the county lord," said Xue Mei, "I am also a princess in Liang State, so I don't care about any princess."

She was very happy and felt that the emperor was very interesting.

In fact, what Xue Mei did for Chu was far less than what she did for Liang. In this regard, Emperor Jianhong was much more generous than the dead emperor of Liang.

Of course, Xue Mei felt that the emperor's old fox was also fishing for big fish on a long line. As a princess, she always had to leave her parents' home, so he was thinking about Xue Mei coming back.

Xue Mei will definitely come back.

"What do court officials say?" Xue Mei asked the eldest brother, "Will you object?"

"There is little possibility of opposition. If you recognize your adopted daughter, the emperor still has the qualifications." Xue Chi said, "The key is that they can't find anyone to oppose it.

I just acted on orders, and it was useless for them to clamor to me. If you want to object, let them go to Lingnan in person to find His Majesty."

Xue Mei: "..."

She couldn't help but want to give her a thumbs up.

Ginger is indeed so spicy.

Because of this, Xue Mei originally planned to leave that day, but she delayed five or six days in Chu State.

According to the emperor's instructions, he issued an edict to the world, saying that the emperor had recognized his adopted daughter and was named Princess Chengyang, the former Marquis of Chengyang.

Xue Mei is going to go to the Taimiao for sacrifice and officially submit the family genealogy.

Then, because of this relationship, when Xue Mei went to Liang State again, she needed to take the letter of the Chu court.

But she herself is from Liang, so she can't take it.

"It's your Majesty who loves me." Xue Mei felt emotion for a moment, "Maybe this is how my father is."

Xiao Jingcheng gently held her hand: "I will love you from now on."

Xue Mei: "Some love is irreplaceable. Just like my father's love, you can't give it to me."

Xiao Jingcheng: “…”

Xue Chi smiled beside him.

After the sacrifice, Xue Mei officially became Princess Chengyang of Chu, and she also went to the harem to meet Concubine De.

In Concubine De's palace, Xue Mei met Pei Wanzhao.

Before meeting Pei Wanzhao, Xue Mei thought Concubine De would ask her to copy Buddhist scriptures. After seeing her, she found that Pei Wanzhao was reciting the map of the Chu Kingdom.

Although the harem cannot interfere in politics, if you want to speak to the emperor, and to become the emperor's virtuous support, you must learn.

If there is a flood in a certain place and a drought is caused, the emperor comes to the palace and complains to the queen, the queen cannot answer the words and doesn't even know where they are, which will greatly affect the relationship between the emperor and the empress.

The Crown Princess needs to memorize the geographical knowledge, and recite the names of many prefectures, counties and counties in the entire Chu State.

The prince’s homework is more complicated, and he even needs to know what to plant and what is abundant in some place.

The prince had a special master to teach and his coursework was very complicated. Xue Chi almost wanted to cry when he was learning this, but he was still in class.

Although Pei Wanzhao found it difficult, she learned very carefully.

"Are you tired?" Xue Mei asked her.

The queen is really not easy to be a good person.

Pei Wanzhao: "This is a matter of duty. If I can't do it well, others will laugh at the prince's brother in the future."

"You are so sensible." Xue Mei gently touched her head and treated her as her little sister, not thinking that she was her eldest sister-in-law.

Pei Wanzhao asked Xue Mei: "Sister Bai, I heard from my aunts and the others that you are going back to Liang State. Then are you back?"

"I'm definitely back. I'm the princess of Chu now, so I naturally have to come back to my parents' home often." Xue Mei said, "I'm going back just to hold a wedding."

Pei Wanzhao found it very interesting and wanted to go there. But she was the crown princess, let alone going to Liang State, she couldn't even walk out of the palace gate.

She sighed softly.

Xue Mei said, "When I come back, I will bring you a small gift."

"What little gift?" Pei Wanzhao asked immediately.

Xue Mei: "I don't know yet, I have to see it. I'll bring you whatever you have at that time."

Pei Wanzhao was overjoyed: "Thank you, Sister Bai, Sister Bai, you are so kind to me."

Xue Mei smiled.

Xue Chi, who happened to be here, heard this and wondered if this child was a little stupid, why are he so enthusiastic to everyone?

Concubine De also had a few words to remind Xue Mei, so she chatted with Xue Mei for half an hour.

Mainly, I talked about some palace rules to Xue Mei.

Xue Mei is already a princess, and Concubine De will leave her a palace. If she wants to live in the palace one day, it is OK. Since she is a royal princess, she cannot be as casual as before.

Xue Mei listened one by one.

When she finished speaking, Xue Mei was about to leave the palace, Xue Chi would send her off.

The brother and sister walked on the long corridor of the palace, but for the first time, they were so relaxed and casual, as if they were walking in their own backyard.

Yes, this is their own backyard.

Thinking of this, Xue Mei's pace became slower, and Xue Chi was the same.

The two of them bathed in the warm sunshine of late autumn, enjoying the faint fragrance of osmanthus.

They succeeded.

Before they could share the results of victory, Xue Mei was taken to Lingnan by the emperor.

Xue Chi seems to have a lot to say, but he doesn't know where to start.

The two of them just walked slowly, and Xue Mei also told him that the emperor had already known Xiao Jingcheng's identity.

Xue Chi was not surprised because Xiao Jingcheng came back this time with his original appearance, but the people of Chu didn't know him.

"Mei'er, I have something I want to talk to you." Xue Chi pondered over and over again, "Don't be angry whether you agree or not."

He was so cautious that Xue Mei was a little curious: "What's the matter?"
