Early the next morning, Shen Yuexi was walking in front of the palace and met Mei Dai, who was all dressed in plain clothes and going out to worship her ancestors at the Mei family ancestral hall.

After taking back Yongwei, Mei Dai successively took back the coffins of Xiliang Wang Meicheng and his wife and Mei Pu, finally allowing the souls of her parents and brother to return to their hometown and re-establish the ancestral hall.

Shen Yuexi had never seen what an ancient ancestral hall looked like, and out of curiosity she wanted to see it.

Mei Dai smiled and said: "Originally, non-children of the Mei family are not allowed to enter the Mei family ancestral hall. But my sister has shown great kindness to the Mei family, and the ancestors will not blame me. Mei Dai took my sister with me."

Shen Yuexi got into the car and said to Mei Dai: "Why isn't the ancestral hall built in the palace?"

Mei Dai said: "The location of the ancestral hall was not chosen by me at will. I have to ask a Feng Shui master to survey the site. The Mei family ancestral hall was chosen to be in the west of Yongwei City. We will be there soon."

The two chatted for a while, and then the motorcade stopped in front of the Mei family ancestral hall.

Shen Yuexi jumped out of the car and faced a triple archway made of white jade, guarded by Xiliang troops. A horizontal plaque hung directly above the car with the words "Mei's Ancestral Hall" written on it. There were couplets on both sides of the main door, written in pen. Dragons, snakes, dragons and phoenixes dance, but it's a pity that she can't understand it.

Mei Dai also got out of the car and told Shen Yuexi: "I know that my sister is more cheerful, but I hope that my sister will be more stable in the ancestral hall."

Shen Yuexi stuck out her tongue and followed Mei Dai into the main entrance of the archway.

The entrance is also paved with white jade, with lush pines and cypresses on both sides. Not far ahead, there is the main hall of the ancestral hall, with five rooms in a row, brackets and eaves, creating a solemn atmosphere.

Mei Dai asked Shen Yuexi to wait here, while she personally offered sacrifices and went inside to worship.

Shen Yuexi waited there honestly. When Mei Dai came out, she said to Mei Dai: "Sister Mei, since I'm here, I also want to pay homage to the King of Xiliang and Prince Mei."

Now that she's here, it's obviously not good to leave without doing anything. Besides, Mep is Xiao Zhuo's good friend, so she also said a few words for Xiao Zhuo to Mep.

Mei Dai smiled and said: "I didn't expect my sister to be so caring. I will take my sister in, and she only needs to pay homage to the tablets of my father and brother."

The two of them came inside, and Mei Dai led her first to the memorial tablet of King Meicheng of Xiliang.

Shen Yuexi bowed three times and muttered silently: "King of Xiliang, although you are a little stupid, it's really not your fault. Your father is so powerful, but God has made you incapable of that. God's will cannot be violated. .Now that Sister Mei has become the Queen of Xiliang and leads the four counties, you can continue to enjoy the incense of sacrifice. You should also be happy underground."

Then he bowed to Mei Pu and said: "Prince Mei, although you made the Xiliang army rebel, I don't blame you at all, and my husband doesn't blame you either. You didn't do anything wrong. After suffering so much, you Now I finally don’t have to suffer from leprosy anymore. I hope you can bless Sister Mei and successfully defeat Xirong. It’s too difficult for her to do it alone.”

Mei Dai looked at her mumbling, looking very pious, and couldn't help but smile.

After worshiping, the two people left the ancestral hall and walked slowly along the white jade corridor.

Shen Yuexi thought of Xiao Beiheng and said to Mei Dai: "Sister Mei, I have a problem here. I wonder if Sister Mei can help me answer it?"

"Sister, you don't have to be polite, just tell me."

"My husband has been granted the title of king now, and so has Xiao Beiheng, but Emperor Qi Ming has not decided on the crown prince. I am always worried that Xiao Beiheng will do harm to us for the title of crown prince. My husband said that he knew that they were brothers before, and he deliberately attacked us , this is with the intention of harming us. I am afraid that he will attack us."

After hearing this, Mei Dai was thoughtful, looked at Shen Yuexi and said, "Sister, tell me what you want."

"I think those who strike first and those who strike last will control others," Shen Yuexi clenched her fists and waved them in the air. "Since he is not good to us, we must strike first to gain advantage."

Of course, she was just talking, it was up to Xiao Zhuolai to decide whether to send troops or not.

Mei Dai smiled and said to her: "So this is what my sister thinks. She is right, but there is something wrong with it."

"What's wrong?"

Shen Yuexi felt that she was right. She knew that the other party had malicious intentions, so why should she be so dazed here?

Seeing her confused look, Mei Dai thought for a moment and said, "Let me tell you a story."

"Okay." Shen Yuexi agreed.

At this time, the two of them came to stand under a cypress tree. The sunlight passed through the dense leaves and sprinkled dots on the white jade stone corridor. The breeze blew by, making her feel particularly refreshing.

"There were two countrymen A and B. A knew that B hated him very much and wanted to kill him all the time, so he took the initiative and killed B. Then how will the government resolve the case in court?"

"It goes without saying that if A killed B, of course it was A's fault and he will be sentenced to death." Shen Yuexi picked up a leaf and turned it between her fingers.

"Why, A clearly knows that B is a bad person."

"A knows it, but everyone else doesn't know it..." Shen Yuexi suddenly realized in the middle of speaking, "Sister Mei, I understand. We all know that Xiao Beiheng is a bad guy, but others don't know it."

"That's right, my sister is very smart," Mei Dai said with a smile, "Even if King An knew that Xiao Beiheng had intentions of harming him, he couldn't strike first. This is the reason. You know that Xiao Beiheng is bad, King An also knows it, and Miss Ji also knows it... …But the government doesn’t know.”

"The government is the representative..."

"All living beings in the world. If King An preemptively sends troops to attack, whether it is to kill Xiao Beiheng or imprison him, I am afraid that the whole world will think that King An is murdering his younger brother for the throne. King An will not be able to stand up morally. This is called Shichu Wuming. How can a person who is not supported by the people become an emperor? Even if he does, he will soon be overthrown and will be infamy for thousands of years."

When Shen Yuexi heard this idiom, she not only shuddered. She thought of a traitor who was made into a bronze statue and reviled by future generations for generations.

But if it’s like Mei Dai said, then do nothing?

"Then what should we do? Wait for Xiao Beiheng to harm us?"

Mei Dai smiled and said: "It's not just waiting. You have to be careful about him and be careful not to let him harm you. When he reveals his bad side and everyone in the world recognizes his face, then it's time to take action. "

Shen Yuexi nodded repeatedly: "Sister Mei, I understand."

"What about Prince An? What does Prince An think?" Mei Dai asked.

"When we went to Shengzhou to play, I asked him about it, and he said that he just wanted to live a good life with me. Sister Ji also told him yesterday, twice. He only answered one sentence, saying, ' He is my brother after all'."

"Is that so?" Mei Dai smiled and said, "Maybe he feels that he owes you too much and wants to make it up to you. Sister, don't worry about this. King An is not the kind of stupid person who lets others manipulate him, and... …”

Having said this, Mei Dai paused.

Shen Yuexi was waiting for Mei Dai to say the next thing. When she saw Mei Dai pause, she looked at her and found that her expression became a little sad.

After a short pause, Mei Dai whispered: "Wang An is right. They are brothers after all, and blood is thicker than water. It would be best if the two of them could live in peace. Once their relatives are gone, they will never come back again." Yes. Maybe Xiao Beiheng will change gradually. If that is the case, it would be even more wrong for you to take action. You can tolerate it as long as you can with your loved ones."

Shen Yuexi knew that Mei Dai had lost her parents and brother, so she paid special attention to the word "relatives".

"I'm just a little worried." Shen Yuexi said worriedly.

After Mei Dai's explanation, she already fully understood how to deal with Xiao Beiheng. Thinking about it now, Xiao Zhuo's approach was exactly the most appropriate.

It seems that her husband really doesn't need her to worry about him.

Mei Dai turned to her with a bright smile: "Sister, don't worry. If that day comes, the Xiliang Army will definitely help King An with all its strength. As long as King An doesn't touch the Mei family, the oath Mei Dai swore will never change. "

As if to change the subject, Mei Dai asked about other things: "By the way, sister, I heard that you are expanding the city. Can you give the city a name?"

Shen Yuexi said: "No, but the city is getting bigger and bigger, so it's time to have a name. Li Zheng even came to ask me specifically, and I said wait for now."

They said they would wait for now, but the reality was that she couldn't get the name. However, the old man Li Zheng was quite serious and said that she could only name it, just wait and see. Anyway, the construction of the outer city had just started, so in the end it was Princess An who had to name it.

Now when I come to Xiliang, I am facing the omniscient sister Mei Dai...

She coughed and looked at Mei Dai with a smile: "Just in time, sister Mei, can you help me choose a name for my sister?"

Mei Dai did not refuse, thought for a moment, and said to her: "That city has been through many battles, and it remains standing and is always victorious... let's call it Shengjing, which means an undefeated city."

"Shengjing, Shengjing," Shen Yuexi recited it several times and said happily, "What a name!"
