Chapter 213: Pros and cons of being a noble.
Mei Mei needed to talk to someone about her conversation with Jingzhe. She needed to know if she had overreacted.
She turned to Rose and opened up. "The empress offered him a job."
Rose’s blew air out of her mouth. The look on her face was amazement and curiosity. "Congratulations to him. He has officially entered the big leagues. His future will be bright from there."
Mei Mei stood up, "Thank you, thank you, thank you for understanding me. This is exactly what I tried to explain to him..."
"Hold off the excitement for a moment." Rose raised her hand. "First tell me what kind of job it is. We could be going through premature excitement only to find out later on that is Long Shuang’s tutor or her shoe shiner."
Mei Mei sat down. "It is an advisory position. She asked him for some advice on matters relating to the empress. I cannot say as....."
"Say no more." Rose jumped in and stopped her. She had already heard about it from their aunt Princess Rize. "So, he will be advising on special matters. It is not a bad job to have as long as he knows how to keep his mouth shut."
Mei Mei sighed. "A Zhe is younger than me. I will admit that sometimes our age difference worries me. He is at the age when young men explore this and that in almost every aspect of their lives.
A great age when you see all these possibilities ahead of you and think that you have all the time in the world to make the right decisions." She stood up again because siting was making her restless.
