Chapter 458 What Is Winning or Losing?
Chapter 458 What is winning or losing?
This feudal title fully proves an unbreakable truth within the system.
If you want to be promoted, merit, ability, etc. are just capital, not the decisive conditions. The most important thing is whether there are people above, and how much effort the people above are willing to put in for you.
To the extent that he is willing to draw swords for you in court, and there are other big bosses who support you openly and covertly, then even if you are guilty, you can be made a marquis.
Although this title still makes Xue Mu very painful, he finally got rid of Phoenix Man, and became Lao Ai this time... But after thinking about it, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, it seems very appropriate...
Coupled with the idol worship of Lao Dasheng who could use that thing to push the wheel, Xue Mu still admitted it with complicated emotions.
The most puzzling thing was Liu Wanxi. She didn't know why, but as soon as she called Xue Mu "Marquis Changxin", Xue Mu would look at her with a strange expression, and then he would get excited and press her down and wreak havoc on her.
Liu Wanxi also liked that he pampered her more, so she deliberately called "Hou Changxin" in a greasy voice no matter what happened, and then the palace completely turned into a den of obscenity.
In the past, I was a bit hesitant. I would do everything in the palace, and most often I would go to the hot spring pool. These days, it really didn't matter where I was, be it the courtyard outside the palace, the garden, or the swing in the tree. I even deliberately went behind Ji Qingyuan's screen to find excitement. I left traces everywhere and played almost everything.
Liu Wanxi was so obsessed that Xue Mu knew the taste of food, and almost forgot what he did in the palace.
"Wanxi lived in vain for thirty years, but now she truly knows the joy of being a woman."
"That's because the men you met before were so weird that none of them had the thought of being a real man."
"It seems that now that the political affairs hall is operating more and more normally, no one seems to care about Ji Qingyuan anymore, right?"
"Yes, a few days ago, when Xiaolin just opened the palace and allowed the prince to visit, people still visited him from time to time. But now only Chief Xiahou and Prince Qi often go there."
"Is it okay to let them come into contact with Ji Qingyuan in this way? Aren't you afraid that some things will be exposed?"
"Ji Qingyuan is asleep most of the time, so we usually let them in at this time. The two sides have not said a few words in total for many days, and it is impossible to talk about court affairs if they rarely communicate... In fact, even the most public-minded people are now Xia Houdi does not want Ji Qingyuan to intervene and destroy the political affairs hall that has finally been functioning normally, that is, caring about the health of the father."
Xue Muqi said: "Although Ji Qingyuan was depressed before, he didn't sleep most of the time. Has Qingwu become worse after being treated for so long?"
Liu Wanxi bit her lower lip: "Because I am Pan Jinlian, what's so strange about adding ingredients when giving him medicine."
Xue Mu looked even weirder: "Qing Wu is actually willing to cooperate with you in doing this? Don't tell me that she can't see that her patient has been infected with the new drug."
"Your female apprentice..." Liu Wanxi said with a smile: "I told her this was what you meant. She struggled for a while, and then helped me prepare a more silent medicine."
Xue Mu's eyes widened.
Liu Wanxi smiled and said: "Her reason is that sleeping more is good for patients. I don't know if this is true or not. Do you want to ask?"
Xue Mu twitched his lips: "Sure enough, every natural creature is black when cut open."
"I'm afraid that those who are close to black will be black."
"Hmph, is your butt itchy?"
Liu Wanxi said in a tired voice: "Come punish me..."
"You'd better take it easy." Xue Mu couldn't help laughing: "It's almost falling apart every time, but it's still clinging to us."
"But Wanxi's fragile meridians that have been depressed for more than ten years are really showing signs of recovery... She is becoming more and more able to handle these days."
Xue Mu nodded. This was actually the main reason why the two of them were having an affair. He was not usually so ridiculous.
After thinking for a while, Xue Mu asked again: "The day after tomorrow is the Spring Festival. It's impossible for Ji Qingyuan to show up in his appearance?"
"Yes, the whole power will be left to Wanxi." Liu Wanxi said: "As for the princess, we have also made arrangements, and someone will advocate it together. Speaking of which, it is easier for her than for you to become a prince. After all, it is a royal family. It is an internal matter, and in fact many people have already known it, and there is no resistance from the government and the opposition."
"Yes." Xue Mu said leisurely: "She drew her sword to fight for me. I must return her a princess."
Liu Wanxi kissed the corner of his lips and murmured: "When you are holding Wanxi, don't think too much about other women. If you want to serve her together, wait until you have settled her down."
Xue Mu turned over and said, "As your Majesty ordered, I will come again to moisturize the meridians."
Ye Guying huddled aside with a headache, here comes again...
This period of time was really torturous, there was no crisis, the days were leisurely and comfortable, and Ye Guying lost her alertness when watching movies several times a day. She was so skilled at solving the problems on her own that she even forgot what she was like before.
Xue Mu, you win. This lesson is too painful. Can I just accept it...
She didn't even notice when the fighting over there ended.
Liu Wanxi was so tired that she lay there panting. Xue Mu put on her clothes and got out of bed. As if she also knew where Ye Guying usually hid, she walked straight over and said casually: "Lone Ying, the day after tomorrow is the Spring Festival, and we will be out for the past two days." Still nothing happened?"
"Huh? Huh?" Ye Guying was in pain and had no idea what he was talking about.
Xue Mu didn't know what she was doing: "Talk..."
He didn't know what Ye Guying was doing. His nightgown was not completely on, and his beautiful abdominal muscles could be vaguely seen...
After a while, Ye Guying's weak voice came from the air: "What did you ask just now? I was distracted and didn't pay attention."
"Oh...oh, are you asking whether everything has been calm in the outside world these two days?"
"Yes." Ye Guying said lazily: "The right path has been exhausted. Sister Qingqing said that she would like to see if there will be any action at the Spring Festival and asked you if you want to make some arrangements."
"We can't make arrangements for the imperial spring festival. Moreover, Chen Qianzhen and Zheng Ye will all come to participate in the ceremony. This is the time when the imperial power is at its strongest. We have to stay dormant, otherwise it will be terrible if we are misunderstood."
Ye Guying couldn't help but said: "If that person never makes any move, should we wait in the capital all the time?"
Xue Mu was silent for a moment, shook his head and sighed: "If we wait a few days after the Spring Festival and there is really no movement, I, Xue Mu, can only admit defeat."
Ye Guying complained: "It turns out that the leader of the alliance will lose too."
Xue Mu whispered: "Losing a game is nothing compared to patience. I have won more, so what is winning or losing?"
"Like Concubine Liu Guifei and Xia Houdi?"
Xue Mu did not answer, but said: "I was playing pranks on you before, but in retrospect, I was extremely bored. You don't need to 'protect' these days. Change into a palace maid's costume and play around with Wei Ye Qingwu." . Don’t let the time come when you really want to go back, only to be left with a vast shadow.”
Ye Guying fell silent, and there was no more sound.
