"You?" Xiao Yan stared blankly at the girl in front of him who used to follow him and spoke of Xiao Yan's brother. For a moment, he felt confused. Is this still the Xiao Mei he knew?
"Do you know that once you enter the Qin Palace... you will never be free again." Xiao Yan thought for a long time and decided to use a more tactful way.
"What brother Xiao Yan wants to say is not about freedom or not, right? What brother Xiao Yan wants to say is that the palace maid is like a maid in a big family who is next to the young master. She has to do all kinds of work. If she is watched by the young master,
, To be more like a concubine, you can't be like a hostess by sleeping with others, right?" Facing Xiao Yan who was considering his words, Xiao Mei intuitively said what Xiao Yan didn't want to say.
"You know everything?" Xiao Yan said with an incredulous look.
"The Qin Palace is my own choice. How could I not know what it means to me?" Xiao Mei said innocently.
"Then you still..." Xiao Yan didn't know what to say at this time.
"What's wrong with me? Is there anything wrong with what I'm doing? Brother Xiao Yan, do you know how many people were chosen after His Majesty the Emperor issued such an edict?" Xiao Mei asked.
"How many people?" Xiao Yan asked instinctively.
"There are more than 300,000 people. From the beauties of heaven among the five ancient clans, to the talented female disciples of giant sects like Danta, to the children of families in ordinary cities, no one does not want to get the opportunity to enter the Qin Palace.
." Xiao Mei said.
"There are so many. In order to practice your skills, you are really willing to sell anything." Xiao Yan's heart has lost the last trace of warmth at this time, and there is only endless indifference.
This world has let me down. Xiao Yan said in his heart.
"Brother Xiao Yan, why do you have to say it so euphemistically? Don't you just want to say that women like us are shameless and will betray ourselves in order to practice martial arts and for the sake of glory and wealth?" Realizing what Xiao Yan was thinking
Xiao Mei also had a cold look on her face.
"Xiao Mei?" Faced with Xiao Mei's sarcastic tone, Xiao Yan was at a loss.
"Brother Xiao Yan, you have to understand that what you hate has never been Xiao Mei, a woman like Xiao Mei who can sell everything for what you think is her own benefit." Xiao Mei said.
"I used to always like to follow brother Xiao Yan, like a follower, because at that time, brother Xiao Yan, you were the strongest in the Xiao family. My vanity made me enjoy being by your side. Other girls
The envious look in his eyes when he saw me, Brother Xiao Yan at that time should also know what I was thinking, right?"
"Did Brother Xiao Yan at that time hate Xiao Mei, who is now frivolous, vain, and lowly in your eyes?"
"You, you..." Facing Xiao Mei's calm realization, Xiao Yan panicked for no reason.
"Also during these years of studying in Taixue, brother Xiao Yan was among the top ten elites in Taixue, and his teacher was even the dean of Taixue. This status made brother Xiao Yan's side
Aren’t there many girls who like you?”
"There should be no difference between those girls and Xiao Mei now. How come I have never seen brother Xiao Yan hate those girls? On the contrary, I clearly remember that brother Xiao Yan at that time did not always enjoy being surrounded by so many girls.
Does it feel like flattery, or even jealousy?”
"I was..." Xiao Yan wanted to defend, but he didn't know how to say it.
"Those girls are all vulgar. Xiao Mei, you are different. You shouldn't be that kind of girl." Xiao Yan murmured for a long time, and finally said this sentence.
"Xiao Mei is also a very vulgar girl. She is just a little prettier at most. Xiao Mei also likes strong people and handsome people. She also envies those who have power and likes beautiful clothes.
, delicious food, likes to be pampered by others, likes to be looked at with envy, likes the feeling of standing on a high place and overlooking others." Xiao Mei said calmly, so calm that it made Xiao Yan panic.
"I didn't expect you to be that kind of person." Xiao Yan's demeanor and Xiao Yan's entanglement could no longer be contained at this time and turned into hatred.
"Brother Xiao Yan, you have never hated vulgar girls like us, and what you hate now is not Nalan Yanran and Xiao Mei, or even cousin Xiao Yu." Xiao Mei said.
"Do you know about Nalan Yanran?" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned blood red. The thing that was most embarrassing and the thing that he least wanted to be seen was found out. At this time, Xiao Yan's shame and anger can be imagined.
Know.
"I know, Nalan Yanran and I happened to be on the same team when we ran for election." Xiao Mei said.
In Xiao Yan's silence, Xiao Mei said slowly: "Brother Xiao Yan, ask yourself carefully, do you really hate women like us who only have interests and power in their eyes?"
"Isn't it?" Xiao Yan said sarcastically.
"No, you don't hate it. I said that the girls who surround you in Taixue are also girls like this, but you have never hated them. Why do you want to do it when the same thing happens to us?
So angry? You were so angry when Nalan Yanran broke off the engagement, but in Taixue, you also helped your admirer break off the engagement, and you were obviously very happy at that time."
"What you hate is not girls like us. What you hate is yourself. What you hate is why girls like us don't hang around you. What you hate is why girls like us chose Qin Palace instead of you.
Brother Xiao Yan, none of us are nobler than the other, if we really want to talk about it, you are not as good as us."
At this time, Xiao Yan panicked, and his anger had been replaced by panic.
"Everything we do, no matter how 'lowly' it seems to Brother Xiao Yan, is our own choice. We don't ask others to do anything, but what about you, Brother Xiao Yan? You have to ask her
People do things according to your wishes and preferences."
"If you put it this way..."
"If you really want to say it, brother Xiao Yan is more selfish than us, and more..." Xiao Mei paused as she spoke, and finally, the word 'shameless' came out of Xiao Mei's mouth.
As Xiao Mei spat out the last two words, Xiao Yan's anger completely turned into ice. At this time, he was very cold, as cold as if he had no clothes on in the cold winter.
Although he wanted to refute Xiao Mei, he didn't know how to refute it. Xiao Mei had already admitted her vanity and vulgarity, what else could he do?
What frightens Xiao Yan even more is that he knows that Xiao Mei's description of him is not wrong. He has never hated Nalan Yanran and Xiao Mei from the beginning to the end. What he hates is not Nalan Yanran's betrayal, not Xiao Mei's.
Charming and ruthless.
What he hates is that he is not the protagonist in the story, and what he is angry about is that he is a supporting role in the story.
"You will regret it in the future. As the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong..." Xiao Yan said angrily.
But just after the words were spoken, Xiao Mei's voice interrupted Xiao Yan's words, and Xiao Mei took over the words: "In the past thirty years in Hexi, we should not bully young people into poverty, right?"
"But brother Xiao Yan, you have to know that it is sixty years. No one will wait sixty years." Xiao Mei said quietly.
