At that time, Qiuyue firmly chose not to meet anyone.

Song Qingcheng supported her idea. She, Song Qingcheng, was the kind of person who could just go with the flow and there was no need to make things difficult for herself.

Life is but a few decades long. Who says that we can only live in one way?

It's fun to be a heroine and rule the world, but it's also okay to be a carefree parasite.

The world is so big, it's good as long as you don't regret anything. You don't need to care about other people's opinions, including hers.

The second most gentle and cute one is Xia He, while Dongmei and Chunyu are relatively more aggressive in temperament.

Now Xia He is so flexible in handling matters and can rescue Song Qingcheng easily. How can the other maids not be shocked?

"Xia He, you've changed a lot. Not only can you help the girl run the shop now, but you've also changed your habit of not wanting to take the lead in everything."

Qiuyue murmured, with envy hidden in her tone.

The topic was successfully changed. Song Qingcheng laughed a little, "Don't envy others, you can do it too. If you can't overcome your fear of strangers, I don't think it's a big deal. Just follow your own wishes."

The two cute maids chose two different ways.

One is to break.....................first face the pain directly, then never suffer again....................

One is maintenance.....................mostly pain-free..................then there is occasional pain..........

Song Qingcheng felt that there was nothing wrong with it. In this vast world, everything that exists is reasonable.

**************************

At the same time, as the New Year is getting closer, there are many official business to deal with in the capital, but the first important thing to do when returning to the capital is to go to the palace to meet the emperor.

According to the rules, an official like Pei Huaizhi who is on a mission outside the capital should go to the palace to report the situation to the emperor as soon as he returns to the capital.

Pei Huaizhi chose to go to Wanzhao Temple to pick up Song Qingcheng and bring him back home. The reason was that he really wanted to see Song Qingcheng as soon as possible, but there was another reason, which was to show weakness.

The Emperor of Wei has become more and more suspicious in recent years. He regards imperial power as more important than his own life and the lives of the people. Moreover, he has been expanding the East Factory. Eunuchs are in power and have taken on the responsibility of supervising all officials. They are taking advantage of the power of others to help the Emperor of Wei secretly eliminate dissidents. There is already a sense of panic in the court.

What's more, if an official in the court made a few harmless complaints in his own residence, they would be exaggerated and sent to the desk of the Emperor of Wei the next day, and he would become the unlucky one to be punished.

At the lightest, the punishment would be beating with a stick; at the worst, the punishment would be imprisonment or exile; in even more serious cases, the offender would most likely be taken to the Caishikou and beheaded.

Sometimes, whether one was guilty or not depended entirely on the words of the eunuch who held the seal. Everyone in the court was in danger. Although the imperial power in the hands of Emperor Wei was unprecedentedly centralized, because the emperor focused all his attention on the power struggle, the national strength of the Wei Dynasty not only did not increase but weakened.

Fortunately, with Pei Huaizhi in the Ministry of Revenue, the national treasury is gradually reversing its empty situation. Now it seems that Pei Huaizhi is the money bag that can make money for the entire Wei Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, the Eastern Depot is a dog that values ​​people the Emperor of Wei and will bite whoever its master tells it to bite.

Now Pei Huaizhi is concerned about the purse of the Wei Dynasty, the new tax policy in Jiangnan, and the grain transport plan. Naturally, the people in the East Factory dare not act rashly, which makes Pei Huaizhi's position in the court as stable as an old dog.

Those eunuchs naturally knew that this discus could not be kicked. At least now not only could it not be moved, but it also had to be well kept.

However, the more such a person appears to have no weaknesses, the more feared he is.

So...it is true that the Emperor of Wei respects Pei Huaizhi, and it is also true that he is wary of Pei Huaizhi now, especially since Pei Huaizhi is still so young. Although he takes elixirs of immortality every day, he has to bow his head in front of the world.

This Minister Pei is really young!

The Emperor of Wei, who originally had a body as straight as a pine tree, had become hunched over in just one year, and his originally strong body had also become a little thin.

Seeing Pei Huaizhi disappear in the hall, he waved his hand and asked the eunuch to look at the young eunuch next to him.

He got up from the ground, trotted to another room, and ran back breathlessly.

He held a small lacquered wooden box in his hand, knelt on the ground, and handed it to the eunuch beside Emperor Wei with his hand raised high above his head.

The Emperor of Wei had become impatient and eagerly snatched the box with his dry-looking hand.

Just this water, if you swallow it!

The Emperor of Wei felt that the elixir of immortality was indeed worthy of its reputation. Right after taking it, he felt that his throbbing temples were not as painful anymore. He even felt that his originally heavy body was now extremely light.

"Ingots!"

The Emperor of Wei lay on his back on the dragon throne, and even though his voice was a little hoarse, it still carried the pressure of a superior.

The eunuch named Yuanbao bent his waist, lowered his head and walked a few steps forward, "Your Majesty, please give your orders!"

The Emperor of Wei narrowed his eyes. "What do you think of Minister Pei?"

Hearing this, Yuan Bao was unsure of what the Emperor of Wei wanted to express, so naturally he could not say too much. He just said, "Minister Pei is indeed a rare pillar of talent. I am stupid and do not have the sharp eyes of the emperor to recognize the pearls.

I have known for a long time that Minister Pei is very capable. Even though the court has sent so many capable ministers to Jiangnan, they have still not been able to take over Jiangnan. Now I don’t know whether Minister Pei has a connection with the officials of various departments in Jiangnan, or whether he has old friendships with the various aristocratic families in Jiangnan?

Now that this tough bone has been chewed, the noble families also follow Pei Shilang's lead. It is really that they have money, people and soldiers, hahahaha..." When the eunuch Yuanbao spoke, he secretly glanced at the expression of the Emperor of Wei, and while he made a seemingly objective and impersonal evaluation, he laughed a few times when the voice fell.

There was no emotion on Emperor Wei's face when he heard this, but every word touched his sensitive spot about power.

"is it?"

Yuan Bao nodded.

The seeds of doubt in the Emperor of Wei's heart began to grow wildly again. Jiangnan was the richest place in the entire Wei country, and nothing could go wrong.

Yuan Bao glanced at the gloomy Emperor Wei and knew that his actions had worked.

"It's not time to move yet."

The Emperor of Wei said something for no reason.

"Do you know what Minister Pei likes?" the Emperor of Wei asked casually.
