Xiu Jia Li's
Episode 37's. Xi Mei's Rejection

"You are indeed amazing Xi Mei! So, how's your decision this time?" Xavier.

Zheng, who had previously kept silent below, now went back on stage with Ryu and Chen following him.

Even the queen also approached Xi Mei there, although of course she would not reveal the identity of Xi Mei in front there.

"Xi Mei." said Zheng whispering in the girl's ear.

"Yes Zheng, what's wrong?" ask Xi Mei to him.

"Are you sure you want to take all this? Being a palace warrior is not an easy thing, it can get you in trouble too. You better think about this carefully!" said Zheng commemorating Xi Mei.

"You why Zheng? Are you interested in replacing my position? All right, I'll give it to you. After all, it should have been you who won this competition. It's just that you were cheated by that person," Xi Mei said in a loud voice.

"Xi Mei, are you all right? Why are you talking so loudly?" zheng said surprised.

"Ahaha, gapapa Zheng gausah was embarrassed. I'm sure your majesty also wants to hear the words of the two of us, it's not nice to whisper in front of so many people!" xi Mei.

Ryu, who was there, asked Zheng to step down for a moment because he wanted to talk to his nephew.

"Xi Mei, uncle wants to talk to you" Ryu said.

"Yes uncle" Xi Mei said.

They went a little further away from the crowd, as Ryu did not want the king to know Xi Mei's true identity.

"What's uncle?" xi Mei asked curiously.

"You shouldn't be doing this, Xi Mei! Uncle is really worried about your safety! What if they know who you really are?" Ryu.

"Sorry uncle! I just didn't accept the coach's fraudulent treatment" Xi Mei said.

"Yes Xi Mei, uncle knows what you mean. But, you shouldn't be so reckless Xi Mei! It's the same as putting yourself at risk!" ryu said quite emotionally.

"Calm down, uncle, I won't get caught! No one recognized me except mommy" Xi Mei said.

"Yes, now they don't recognize you. What if you're already part of the palace?" said Ryu.

"I don't want to accept that uncle, I'm doing this purely for justice. I will reject the offer from king Xavier, uncle there's no need to panic huh!" xi Mei nodded.

"Good, uncle prefers it!" said Ryu.

Xi Mei smiled, then hugged Ryu tightly to the point of making the man shocked.

"I love uncle!" xi Mei.

"Eee, it's Xi Mei, you'd better reject the offer from your highness! So we can get out of here and save yourself!" said Ryu.

"Good uncle! I went back there first, right? Uncle just wait here, I'll see uncle again later!" said Xi Mei taking off her embrace.

"Yes," Ryu said softly.

Xi Mei returned to where Xavier and the others were.

"How's Xi Mei? Did you get the answer?" ask Xavier.

"Eee me.." Xi Mei's speech paused as she saw the queen was nearby.

"Queen? Salute respect!" said it.

Queen Lien smiled, then asked Xi Mei to stand back up.

"Already Xi Mei, you can stand up now!" said queen Lien.

"Thank you queen!" xi Mei smiled.

"Oh God! It feels so happy that I can see mommy from this close distance, but I still wonder why mommy wants to marry the man who killed Daddy?" mumbled Xi Mei in heart.

Xavier turned to look at the queen, then shifted his position so that the queen could get closer to him.

"Oh yes, your majesty, I have found the answer" Xi Mei said.

"What is Xi Mei?" ask Xavier expectantly.

"Before your highness' apology, I cannot accept your offer! Since my intention wasn't really for that, I just wanted to prove that swordsman Bowen was cheating. And I think the one who deserves the reward from you, it's the swordsman Zheng. He is the real winner of this competition!" answer Xi Mei.

Xavier was startled and turned to look at Zheng there, while Zheng himself lowered his head feeling uneasy at Xi Mei's words.

"No Xi Mei, don't talk like that! You are the one who deserves that gift, because your majesty offered it to you not to me" Zheng said.

"What Xi Mei said was true, of the many participants only you were able to defend against Bowen's cheating. So, I guess you deserve to be the winner!" said queen Lien.

"But Lien, I want Xi Mei to be part of the palace!" xavier whispers.

"There's nothing wrong if we give the gift to Zheng, after all he's the one who's been following this competition. While Xi Mei had only come at the last moment of the race, so it was true that Zheng was the winner!" said queen Lien.

"Alright, I follow your advice" Xavier said.

They all smiled compactly, Xi Mei also felt happy because she could make Zheng enter the palace and serve there.

Long story short, Xi Mei and her uncle and aunt have now walked home considering that the competition is over and the winner has been found.

Luan and Ryu looked proud of what Xi Mei had done earlier, they did not expect that Xi Mei could do that and managed to make Bowen's swordsman escape.

"You're so amazing Xi Mei, uncle is really amazed by you!" praise Ryu.

"Yes Xi Mei, aunt feels the same way." said Luan.

"Ah uncle and aunt this is too much, I'm ordinary. I just don't accept it with cheating" Xi Mei blushed.

"You're good at archery, baby!" luan said embracing the girl.

"But Xi Mei, you seem to have to be careful! It could be that the Bowen swordsman did not accept what you have done, maybe he will take revenge on you" said Chen.

"Right as well as you Chen said, we should be more vigilant and protect Xi Mei from the attacks of the bad guys!" Ryu.

"Take it easy Chen, uncle, auntie! I can take care of myself anyway, even if the swordsman wants to attack me, I just attack back like that!" xi Mei said with a smile.

"Ahaha, you are so beautiful!" praise Luan.

"That's how it is, now I can control my strength" Xi Mei said.

"Good Xi Mei!" ryu said praising him.

"Yes, but still you have to be careful and do not underestimate your opponents!" luan reminded Xi Mei.

"Good bik!" xi Mei said.

"Oh yes Xi Mei, means now you are sad dong huh?" said Chen.

"Yes from now on Zheng will stay in the palace, there is no longer anything that you want to go to the forest or Wushu training" Chen replied.

"What the hell, brother?! I'm just glad that Zheng can serve the palace, so when I get back there I can hang out with Zheng there!" xi Mei.

"Well, are you sure you're going back to the palace?" ask Chen.

"Yes obviously dong sis! I'll fight for what's rightfully mine, the palace will have my Daddy. I will also remove all those who have no right to be there, and I will replace all of you!" xi Mei replied smilingly.

"Just Xi Mei, I hope that what you're talking about comes true! Your aunt always supports whatever your decision is!" luan.

"Yes, I just need to find the right time to attack the palace" Xi Mei said.

"If you need uncle's help, say yes baby! Uncle must be ready to help you, whatever it is!" said Ryu.

"Yes uncle, thank you!" xi Mei.

They hugged there, unaware that someone was watching them from afar.

Yes there are two people who are none other than Terizla with Alice, they seem to observe Xi Mei from behind the bushes nearby.

"Damn it! Apparently the girl was not an indiscriminate girl, she had a relationship with the palace family. But, who is he exactly?" terizla said in astonishment.

"From what I've captured, it could be that Xi Mei is Xiu's long-lost daughter, Terizla" Alice said.

"What??" Terizla was surprised to hear that.

"Zheng, congratulations because you are now the leader of the archery soldiers in the palace!" said Queen Lien with a smile.

"Thank you queen! Servants are truly honored to be able to accept this all, being part of the palace and serving for the palace is a servant's dream from childhood!" zheng said looking pleased.

"Good Zheng, may you do your duty well!" said queen Lien.

"Good queen! In that case, I beg your permission to leave the queen! Once again thank you for this honor, I promise to serve the best I can to this Quangzi palace!" zheng said.

"Yes Zheng, please!" queen Lien smiled.

"Your Majesty, excuse me!" zheng said.

Xavier just nodded expressionlessly, making queen Lien look at him sharply like she did not like it.

Afterwards, Zheng left from there and returned to the palace grounds to meet the palace archers who were training.

While queen Lien seemed to want to reprimand Xavier for his attitude just now, she did not like it if Xavier behaved that way to Zheng.

"Your majesty, why are you so cold to Zheng?" ask queen Lien in surprise

"What's my fault Lien? The attitude of a king should be firm and should not be soft, later there I was even considered not right!" answer Xavier.

"But not that noble dong!" said Lien.

"Oh, I'm sorry Lien! I just don't like that guy who's the chief soldier here, because I want Xi Mei more. I also wonder why Xi Mei rejected my offer!" xavier was confused.

"It's possible that he's not interested in becoming a soldier in this palace, we can't force him" said queen Lien.

"Yes, but I really like his archery skills!" Xavier.

"Do you like her abilities or do you like her? Remember your highness, you will compete with your own son if you like Xi Mei!" said queen Lien.

"What are you talking about? Are you jealous of Xi Mei?" goda Xavier's.

"I? Of jealousy? Make what??" elak queen Lien.

"Ah don't want to tell me, but I know that you're jealous. Oh baby, you don't have to be jealous! I only like warriors like Xi Mei, because if the palace has warriors like her then this palace can be safer baby!" Xavier.

"Yes, but if you knew who the real Xi Mei was you wouldn't want to make him a soldier here anymore!" inner queen Lien.

"You still mad, baby?" xavier asked the queen Lien beside him.

"No, I just want you to be nice to Zheng. You don't make Zheng feel at home in this palace!" pinta queen Lien.

"Let's just relax, baby, I'll try to be nice to him! As long as he can satisfy me with that archery ability, I won't let Zheng fail to strengthen the palace army!" Xavier.

"All right, we'll see!" said queen Lien.

Shortly after, their son An Ming arrived there and approached his parents.

An Ming saluted the king and queen, then went upstairs to approach them.

"Mom, dad, I want to talk" An Ming said.

"Speak my son!" queen Lien smiled.

"Why didn't Mom and Daddy force Xi Mei to stay here? Though I had high hopes for it," asked An Ming.

"Huh? Why are you still talking about that, my son? Mommy said you can't get married! Your age is still too small, so focus on your education!" firmly queen Lien.

"I know mom, I just want to practice archery with her." elak An Ming.

"You think mommy doesn't know what you really mean? Never mind An Ming, you will be able to train with Uncle Zheng!" said queen Lien.

"No mom, I don't want to." An Ming refused.

"Loh, why?" queen Lien asked in surprise.

"Uncle Zheng is not as great as Xi Mei, their abilities differ greatly" An Ming replied.

Queen Lien shook her head.

"Rightly what An Ming said, indeed Zheng did not have archery capabilities as great as Xi Mei. Dear Lien, you should not immediately accept Zheng to be a courtier!" Xavier.

"Your highness, why are you so sweet? We can't judge Zheng too early, he's untested. After all, apart from Xi Mei it was only Zheng who deserved to be here." said queen Lien still defending Zheng.

"Well, I'll never win arguing with you, my dear. So, for business this time everything I leave to you. I'm sure you know more about this!" Xavier.

"That's better, then An Ming you now go meet Uncle Zheng and ask to practice with him!" said queen Lien.

"But mom—"

"Nothing but but!" cut queen Lien firmly.

"Good mom!" an Ming said according to.

An Ming walked away from there at the behest of his mother.
