Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

"It's the golden words on the head of the late emperor." The censor looked puzzled: "Could it be that the emperor can't see it?"

"Of course I can see it." Shen Xingxi curled her lips and pretended to be calm: "I saw that you never discussed this matter, so I thought you couldn't see it."

The censor answered truthfully: "Before the late emperor ascended the throne, the prime minister sealed the mouths of all the ministers, and Wu Ti also came to warn us not to tell anyone that we could see the late emperor's inner voice, and we dare not criticize the monarch."

The system's heart suddenly tightened. It was over. It couldn't be concealed anymore!

Shen Xingxi narrowed her eyes, her dark eyes were deep: "Fortunately, the censor mentioned it, otherwise I would have ignored it. But after all, I didn't have much contact with the late emperor in the court. Can you tell me specifically under what circumstances the golden character is likely to appear? What inconveniences will there be?"

The censor carefully recounted what he had observed:

“I believe the emperor knows that Mr. Yun, who was a counselor in the East Palace, was the late emperor, and the truth that was revealed in golden letters in the palace was also done by Mr. Yun.

Therefore, everyone in the court knows that Mr. Yun is the late emperor, and the golden character will only appear above the late emperor’s head.

In my opinion, the late emperor tended to reveal his true feelings when he was angry.

I dare not deceive the emperor. Before in the East Palace, the former prince claimed that the late emperor was fond of him because of the late emperor’s voice.

Once, the late emperor knocked over a teacup and looked angry. At that time, the golden words on his head read: "Handsome men are still pleasing to the eyes."

I think it was the ugly men in the court who made the late emperor angry.

I have no daughter in my family, and I had no intention of risking offending the late emperor by mentioning the selection of beauties many times. However, when I thought that if there were too many beauties in the harem, the late emperor might change his preferences, I dared to give the advice.

Therefore, I understand your desire to replace the late emperor. After all, it is truly sad and lamentable for a woman to be childless and unfavored and have to keep such a secret for her entire life.

It’s just that the late emperor and I had some personal feelings, and I can’t help but feel resentful about the late emperor’s affairs. I’m afraid I’d let the people down if I sat on the position of prime minister with such resentment.

But since you said you let the late emperor go, I am relieved. I guess the late emperor is living happily with the person he loves, right?"

Shen Xingxi didn't know how much patience she had to use to keep herself from laughing out loud, [Hahahaha...]

The system pursed its lips and tried hard to hold back a laugh.

It's not that she doesn't want to help Mo Hongyun, but she is reluctant to lose points. She would never choose to delay the barrage of such meaningless words.

The prime minister, the only one who knew that it was the host's inner voice, took into consideration the royal dignity and said that it was someone else's voice; Wu Ti thought that he would not be able to hide it from the ministers, so he told them frankly that it was Mo Hongyun's voice.

The censor saw the emperor lower his eyes, his face flushed with anger, and he kowtowed and apologized: "It was I who spoke rudely and mentioned the emperor's sad things. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Shen Xingxi was silent for a moment: "You are worrying too much, the past may be different from what you think. When Mr. Yun comes back, I will ask him to explain it to you in person. The imperial edict will be read to your house later. You should think about how to punish the unhealthy trends in the court first.

Furthermore, you keep an eye on the Ministry of Personnel. There are many loopholes and unreasonable aspects in the laws of this dynasty. I want you to analyze them one by one and send people to the countryside to find out what the people think.

The law is not only for punishing illegal acts, but also for maintaining world order, ensuring fairness and justice, and promoting development. Therefore, there should be corresponding laws for malicious competition, bullying, and bureaucratic style. Go ahead and do your work. I have confidence in you. "

The censor suddenly felt that he had taken on a hot potato. Although he was indeed thinking about the people, this was just too much trouble!

I couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, I thought you would promote a woman to the position of Prime Minister."

Shen Xingxi smiled and said, "Your Excellency the Censor is a veteran of three dynasties. The position of Prime Minister belongs to you. Go quickly. I am worried about you. There are so many things to do. I still want to see your results within two months!"

The censor gritted his teeth and accepted the order. When he left the imperial study, he heard Miss Xinghuo say, "Sir, please go. I'll ask the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription for you to reduce internal heat. It's not a good look to have blisters on your mouth."

Censor: "..." He touched the bubble on his mouth, and then realized that he was here to oppose the emperor. How did he get on the pirate ship?

-

After Shen Xingxi saw the censor leave, he continued to review the memorials. He thought that he should urge the censor and the Minister of Personnel to set up the cabinet after they were done. He really had enough memorials to review.

After a busy day, she lay on the bed a little tired, reflecting on herself three times a day as usual.

I am right.

and many more……

She sat up in shock from the bed, [System, why am I getting more and more socially frustrated the more I think about it? ]

The system touched its nose and what was coming finally came.

She could only comfort him: [Host, the one who is more socially dead is Mo Hongyun.]

Mo Hongyun, who had just fallen asleep, opened his eyes helplessly, and asked with a confused mind: "You want to shoot me to death by staying up late at night?"

[Yes, you are right.] Shen Xingxi could not hear Mo Hongyun's voice, so she agreed with the system's words.

Mo Hongyun was completely sober, [I have always been clean and have been thinking about you every day, how did I offend Xingxi? ]

[Geese, geese, geese…] The system laughed like a goose: [Host, Mo Hongyun wants you to shoot him to death.]

Shen Xingxi had a complicated expression, [Am I crooked? ]

The system acts as a translator: [Mo Hongyun, the host said you are using obscene words. ]

Mo Hongyun: =????(??? ????)

If you don’t understand, ask: “Why did Xingxi mention obscene words?”

The system has read the random answer: [The host said she wants to read the love letter you wrote. 】

Mo Hongyun blushed and deliberately misinterpreted the system's meaning: "Do you want to use my love letter to have an erotic dream?"

System: [Yes, yes, yes! ]

"Then I'll get up and write now." Mo Hongyun put on a coat and started writing a love letter.

Shen Xingxi retorted: [How could I want to read a love letter! I can't even finish reading the memorials! ]

Mo Hongyun: "I know you are shy, sorry."

The system modified Mo Hongyun's words: [Host, Mo Hongyun said, I know that my Xingxi is the most hypocritical, I will just write it, who told my Xingxi to want to read it! ]

Shen Xingxi's expression was indescribable. [So greasy? ]

Mo Hongyun: "That's what I thought, and that's what I meant, but why is it so... unacceptable when you say it from the system? And what does greasy mean?"

System: [Mo Hongyun said that since the host wants to see him being fished out of the oil, we can take a mandarin duck oil bath next time.]

[That's not necessary.] Thinking of the scene at that time, Shen Xingxi shuddered and refused.

System: [Mo Hongyun said this will be smoother and more unobstructed.]

[Ahem… Let’s go to sleep, stop talking.] Shen Xingxi hugged the quilt into her arms, covering the corners of her lips that were raised.

Only Mo Hongyun was left with a confused look on his face. What were these two people talking about?

However, thinking of the mandarin duck bath mentioned by the system, he tore up the love letter he had written a few words on and replaced it with special ink.

Half a month later, Shen Xingxi saw Mo Hongyun's letter.

Seeing that it was a blank piece of paper, her expression became serious and she took out the medicine.

Before she and Mo Hongyun left the palace, they agreed that if there was anything that could not be seen by outsiders, it should be written on paper with special ink to avoid leaking the information.

But I didn’t expect the first line to be the word love letter.

She was puzzled. It's not like she hadn't received love letters from Mo Hongyun before, so why was he being so secretive this time?
