Xie Xi feels that she is not suitable to become an official for three reasons:
Her father was a noble man, but he suddenly died of illness before he could support her;
When she returned in the third year of Dingyou's reign, her political enemy, King Linzi, supported her father to ascend the throne and became King Juerui, wielding power in both the government and the public;
She wanted to assist the new emperor's eldest son and fight against Prince Rui. However, His Highness was too aware of current affairs. He cried, made trouble, and hanged himself, forcibly giving up the position of Crown Prince to his younger brother. As a result, Prince Rui became the default Crown Prince by both the government and the public.
Xie Xi: Well, her life is miserable.
What's even more terrible is that she still has the crime of deceiving the emperor by disguising herself as a man, and she is in danger every step of the way in the government.
Fortunately, she is a genius, and she has survived time and time again, rising step by step.
Perhaps it was because he had been unable to do anything to her for a long time. Xie Xi proudly discovered that King Rui looked at her with increasingly darker eyes when no one was around.
Regarding Xie Xi, Pei Xuan initially thought that she would just find a crime and send him into exile for three thousand miles.
After working together for a few days, Pei Xuan thought again that he did have real talent and learning, so she could just let him work outside.
Later, Pei Xuan thought that as long as Xie Xi could change his temper, it would be possible to allow him to serve as an official in the court.
But in the end, when he finally had enough evidence of Xie Xi's crime and saw Xie Xi kneeling in front of him to plead for others, he just wanted to lock the person tightly to him.
Small theater
One day after the court was dismissed, Xie Xi and Prince Rui met unexpectedly and had their usual confrontation.
She went straight to the good point, took advantage of her words, and struck a heart-wrenching blow: "If your highness keeps pestering you like this, I will think that your highness is happy with you."
"Yes," she heard the person opposite say, "I just like you."
There was a sudden silence in the field, and Xie Xi, who had prepared countless moves, said: "...?"
After a long time, she turned around silently, and for the first time escaped from the two men's verbal exchanges: "Your Highness is really good at joking, hehehe."
Intention: Go straight to the top
