Meixiang had expected a letter from the capital. After all, Liuzhou Prefecture and she had been through such a big thing during this period of time. Now that the dust has settled, the things that had been put aside temporarily before are being put back on the agenda.

"Mother, what do you think?" Meixiang tilted her head slightly and looked at the beautiful woman.

The dim light shone on the side of the beautiful woman's face. After several years of conditioning, her body had completely recovered from the hidden illness left by Sheng Meixiang. Time had not left too many marks on her face, and she was as beautiful as a girl in her early twenties.

But at this moment, the eyes that should have been as bright as the morning sun were now tinged with a hint of sadness and uncertainty about the future.

Hearing her daughter's question, the beautiful woman withdrew her eyes from looking into the void in front of her and lowered her head. Meixiang's bright eyes were instantly filled with her figure.

She tightened her arms around her daughter slightly. At this moment, she clearly realized that her daughter had grown up and no longer needed her protection. She could even give back to her. Thinking of this, the beautiful woman smiled slightly and put down the big stone that was pressing on her heart.

"To be honest, mother doesn't want to go back to the capital. She has been away from the capital for more than ten years, and has lived a very comfortable life in this small mountain village. Now that I have to go back rashly, I feel very anxious."

In the dead of night, mother and daughter began to have a heart-to-heart talk, and at the same time decided on the path they would take in the next few decades.

"But I know in my heart that we must return to the capital." The beautiful woman added at the end.

Meixiang understood her mother's feelings. She had not been back for more than ten years. The capital had changed for her. From the carefree rural life in the mountain village, she suddenly returned to the capital, the mother of a country, and it was not easy to deal with people coming and going.

"Mother, do you want to give the emperor to another woman?" Meixiang blinked her eyes. She knew very well that the emperor would send her a handwritten letter on time every month, and her mother would be absent-minded for a long time after reading it.

This girl, the beautiful woman didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she stretched out her finger and tapped Meixiang's forehead, "You are so bold that you even dare to tease your mother?"

Mei Xiang leaned forward, getting closer to the beautiful woman. "But, mother, even if we don't want to go back, the people in the capital will do everything they can to get us back. Besides, I don't want to watch my father being passed away by someone else. Besides, even if I don't want the throne, it must belong to my brother."

"Don't even think about those other people who bully your mother for not having a son. Humph, when we go back we will give birth to eight or ten children for them, and then we will see what they have to say..." Meixiang's voice became lower and lower, and finally became inaudible.

The mother and daughter sat together like this for a long time, until Nanny Chen couldn't bear it any longer, "Miss, it's late at night and you should rest. You've been traveling for so many days, you need to rest well."

The beautiful woman came back to her senses and let go of her hands that were tightly hugging her daughter. She asked Xiaosan and Liu Xiaomei to help Meixiang go back to the house to rest, while Nanny Chen knelt beside her and gently rubbed her numb legs.

"Li Niang, I've lived half my life, but I still can't think as clearly as a teenage girl."

"Miss, this is because you care about too many things, so you worry too much. In fact, what the young lady said is right. Don't think too much. There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain. You will only know what is ahead when you get there. There is no point in thinking too much."

Meixiang felt like she was sleeping on a white cloud, so light and soft that she felt like her bones were about to become soft as ice.

I let out a sigh of relief. It had been a long time since I had slept so soundly. I rolled over three times in a row. My mind was clear, but my eyes just didn't want to open.

The mistress who was sorting clothes in the room heard the movement on the bed, and walked over quietly with a cup of warm water in her hand: "Miss, are you awake?"

"What time is it?" Meixiang asked in a muffled voice.

While answering Meixiang's question, he passed the tea bowl in his hand to Meixiang's mouth, who had half sat up, "Miss, if you sleep any longer, you will miss lunch. Xiao Shiba and the other three have already walked around the yard several times."

Meixiang didn't expect that she had slept for so long. She said a little embarrassedly, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Madam ordered that you should sleep a little longer because you have worked hard these days. Even the servants can benefit from it and sleep for two more hours."

Meixiang glared at her. She didn't know when she and Liu Xiaomei had changed their self-proclaimed names.

Since she has decided to return to the capital, matters in Liuzhou Prefecture and the tribe must be arranged as soon as possible. It is almost June now, and even if she cannot make it to this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, she must rush back before the Spring Festival at the latest. Otherwise, I really doubt whether her emperor father can still bear it.

Thinking about the bowl of tea with added ingredients that I served him when he was three years old, I can't help laughing when I think about it now. It was really hard for him to endure it for more than ten years.

If my guess is correct, I should be receiving frequent letters from the capital recently.

There shouldn't be any major problems at the tribe for now. Other issues at Liuzhou Prefecture are easy to resolve. The main thing is what to do with this large family? Should we take all of them back to the capital or just some of them? Which ones should we keep and which ones should we take back?

Meixiang felt like her brain was about to explode. She ate lunch in a daze. It was not until she sat at her desk and drank a cup of strong tea that her mind gradually became clear.

Fortunately, everyone knew that she had been working hard recently, so she finally got home and had a good sleep. She got up late again today, and I thought she was not fully awake yet, so I didn't disturb others.

After rubbing her face and taking a few deep breaths, Meixiang told Xiaosan not to come in and disturb her unless it was something important, and then she began to sort out the issues that needed to be resolved one by one.

Meixiang has a very good habit. Once she is sure that she is facing something that she cannot avoid, she will never allow herself to escape. She will face the challenge head-on, sit in the study, and analyze it bit by bit until she comes up with a solution.

They sat there until sunset. When Meixiang stretched lazily and walked out of the study, everyone was already sitting at the table, waiting for her to have dinner together.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was so busy that I forgot the time." Meixiang looked at everyone's teasing eyes, apologized and ran over.

Situ Yidong hurriedly pulled out the chair next to him and let Meixiang sit down. He used to be more or less cautious about other people, but since he came back from the tribe, he could be described as being open and aboveboard. He wanted to announce it to the world, which made Chu Zeming and others so angry that they wanted to bite him, but they could do nothing about it.

Time is also fate!

"Sister Xiang'er, why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you take a good rest for two days after coming back and start to get busy?" Feng Yizheng tried hard to ignore Situ Yidong's lackey look and asked softly.
