Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Perhaps because he could see that Mr. Shen was too shocked, the prince coughed and explained, "The guards around me are all from my father and Minister Chen, but when I was in danger just now, only Mr. Shen came to help me. I was angry and wanted to disgust them, but please don't do it."

He added from the bottom of his heart: "Friendship and love may sometimes be just one step away from each other."

Shen Xingxi's silence was deafening.

It took her a long time to utter a few words: "Give her drugs and catch her before she becomes an adulterer."

The prince's eyes lit up, "Mr. Shen, how come you are so smart? It is such a blessing for me to meet you!"

He untied the jade pendant from his waist and said, "Mr. Shen, if you want to provide disaster relief in time in the future, take my token to the Ministry of Revenue to put pressure on it. I believe you."

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will do my best for you until my death." Shen Xingxi took the token with both hands and saluted, with just the right amount of gratitude in his eyes.

"As I should." The prince avoided Mr. Shen's sight, with a hint of pride in his eyes. He picked up the teacup and took a big sip, then choked and started coughing.

Shen Xingxi stood up and gently patted the prince on the back.

The prince's ears turned red and he stuttered again: "I... I'm fine, thank you very much, Mr. Shen."

Shen Xingxi withdrew his hand and gave a typical smile, "Does the prince have anything else to say?"

"No...no more. Mr. Shen, please do as you please. I will find a way to disgust my father and grandfather." The prince looked at Mr. Shen's smile and almost ran away.

Shen Xingxi looked at the prince's back as he hurried away, and played with the prince's jade pendant with her fingertips.

The system spoke softly: [Host, I feel that the prince's eyes have been looking at you with a less innocent look since an hour and a half ago.]

[Don't worry about him. Maybe he's just trying to get my opinion on behalf of Yun Jingce.] Shen Xingxi answered casually. Whether others like her or not shouldn't be a problem for her.

If she hadn't demonstrated her ability, this love would never have existed. Since the prince hadn't said it explicitly, she just pretended not to know.

The system was silent for a moment, knowing that the host did not want to continue this topic, and asked what she was most concerned about: [Host, is it true that you are afraid of falling in love? ]

[Of course it was to trick the prince. ]

[So you are not opposed to being in love? But... can you accept the thinking habits of men? ]

[System, I cannot deny that I dislike most men in this world, but why should I give up all feelings and love just because of this dislike?] Shen Xingxi said, and then emptied his mind.

She didn't want the system to continue to probe her thoughts.

Ever since she bound herself to the system and knew that the system could directly understand her thoughts, she began to look for system loopholes.

No modern person would be willing to have their mind read without any privacy.

But since she accepted the benefits of the system, she should abide by the rules of the system.

So she did many experiments and finally came to two conclusions: the first is to empty your mind; the second is that if you think too quickly, the system will not capture your thoughts.

She has been practicing for more than ten years and is now able to express her inner voice outwardly, which is basically a confession to the system. She will hide some dark things that she is unwilling to show.

What she wanted to hide just now was: she could allow emotions to exist, but she would not allow herself to be controlled by emotions. If she really encountered such a situation, she might choose to destroy or imprison them.

Her kindness is also due to her gratitude for the teacher's teachings. She is willing to spread the spark of love like the teacher. She is willing to hold an umbrella for others when she is caught in the rain, but she has never thought that she was born in the sunshine. She can also accept the idea of ​​tearing up other people's umbrellas when she is caught in the rain.

After putting away the prince's jade pendant, she stood up and went to the study to review memorials.

Prince Yun took out the memorial he had prepared long ago and asked, "Mr. Shen, another place has been affected by the flood, but a lot of disaster relief funds have been allocated before. The Ministry of Revenue is willing but unable to do anything. What do you think we should do in this situation?"

"Mr. Yun, just ask if you want to. Why are you sitting so close to me?" Shen Xingxi looked at Yun Jingce, who moved his chair next to her, as if it was just to let her see the memorial clearly, but his body was almost touching her.

Prince Yun curled his lips and said, "This year's situation is more serious than in previous years. I am just too anxious. Mr. Shen is very resourceful. Do you have any solution?"

As he spoke, he unbuttoned his shirt and sighed softly, "I am really worried and irritable."

Shen Xingxi glanced at him lightly, her eyes finally falling on the exposed corner of the collarbone. She tapped it with her fingertips, looked at Yun Jingce's ears that were gradually turning red, exerted a little force, and kicked the chair with her legs, pushing Yun Jingce and the chair aside.

He said nonsense: "Mr. Yun, you are indeed very hot and sweating. I am not used to the smell of sweat."

Prince Yun: “???” He couldn’t help but sniff his clothes, looking for the source of the sweat smell. Didn’t he remember sweating today?

"Mr. Guanyun is actually in the mood to smell something. I guess he has already made up his mind. Can you tell me what you think?" Shen Xingxi said slowly.

Prince Yun: “…” Fell into a trap!

He could only express his idea, which was to let the prince take the lead in donating money.

"Those ministers are used to crying poor, and this move is not good for the prince." Shen Xingxi slightly denied it, and said his idea with a twinkle in his eyes: "We can first collect donations from shops, then from court officials, and finally post the donations from everyone at the city gate to let the people know which official cares about them more."

Prince Yun had to admit that this was a good idea, but why did the princess consider the prince this time?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he leaned his head closer to the princess, "Mr. Shen, can you tell me more specifically? It will broaden my horizons."

Shen Xingxi no longer refused, her eyes occasionally swept towards her collarbone, and she slowly perfected her idea.

At this time, Guard Shui suddenly pushed the door open and said, "Mr. Yun, the prince wants to see you, Mr. Shen. The prince told you to leave early if you have something to do. Tonight, the prince wants to do what he just talked to you about with Mr. Yun."

[Does this mean that Yun Jingce will help to further strengthen the relationship between Minister Chen and the Emperor? Then I have to stay away from him.]

After hearing the princess's thoughts, Prince Yun almost couldn't maintain his calm expression. Why did the princess ask him to do such a bad idea?

Shen Xingxi immediately chose to leave the East Palace, fearing that she would get into trouble.

But one can't help but feel excited, how will things develop?

That night, everything was quiet and the moon was high in the sky.

The stars twinkle faintly in the vast night sky, as if countless pairs of eyes are watching the earth.

Minister Chen, who had not yet recovered from his serious injuries, was secretly summoned by the prince.

He was carried into the palace by people sent by the prince, but unexpectedly, he was carried directly outside the emperor's bedroom.

The prince knocked on his father's bedroom door with an innocent look on his face: "Father, I have thought about your words over and over again, and I feel that you and Minister Chen were such good friends in the past, and there must be misunderstandings and difficulties between you that led to the current situation.

I think that misunderstandings can be resolved as long as they are discussed. Today, I have brought Minister Chen here. I beg you to have a good chat, okay?"
