886 Emperor Yong Le (3)
“Jingxing, don’t talk like that to your brother.” A soft voice sounded. Shen Miao’s gaze landed on the woman beside Emperor Yong Le.
This must be Emperor Yong Le’s wife, the empress of the Daliang Dynasty, Empress Xiande.
Empress Xiande looked younger than Emperor Yong Le. She was wearing a court dress with gold embroidery and a wide belt. Her outfit was very simple, and she was very graceful. One look and one could tell that she was a woman from a rich family. She sat beside Emperor Yong Le and smiled at Xie Jingxing.
Shen Miao also remembered that Xie Jingxing had once praised Empress Xiande. There were not many women who could be praised by someone as picky as Xie Jingxing. Since Empress Xiande could be one of them, there was naturally something special about her. Even if Xie Jingxing never praised her, Shen Miao would still have a good impression of Empress Xiande, because she exuded an elegant and calm aura. Even Shen Miao, who was the empress in her previous life, felt inferior in comparison.
“Jingxing’s wife, Miss Shen of Ming Qi’s Shen family.” Empress Xiande nodded at her and smiled gently. “I’ve always been curious about what kind of girl can make Jingxing fall in love with her. Now that I see you, I understand. Jingxing has good taste.”
Empress Xiande’s praise displeased Emperor Yong Le. He glanced at Empress Xiande and seemed to be a little unhappy. He said in a low voice, “The rules in Ming Qi are different from those in the Daliang Dynasty. Since you’re already married to the Daliang Dynasty, you have to abide by the rules.”
“Brother.” Xie Jingxing interrupted him. “I’ll naturally teach her the rules. You just mind your own business.”
Xie Jingxing was protective of Shen Miao and did not give Emperor Yong Le any face in front of Shen Miao. Emperor Yong Le was finally angry and said, “Are you so protective of your wife? Am I not allowed to say a word about her? Do you want me to give you my seat?”
“Forget it.” Xie Jingxing waved his hand indifferently. “Leave this seat to yourself. I’m not interested. It’s just that it’s not easy for me to marry a girl. If you interfere again and my wife runs away, what will happen to me? Will I be alone for the rest of my life?”
Shen Miao was speechless.
If Xie Jingxing was Fu Xiuyi’s brother, he would probably have died ten times over for talking to him like this.
Emperor Yong Le stood up and glanced at Shen Miao with a threatening gaze. He turned around and left. Halfway there, he saw that Xie Jingxing was still standing beside Shen Miao and had no intention of following him. He immediately flew into a rage and said, “Get over here!”
Xie Jingxing said to Empress Xiande, “Sister-in-law, I’ll leave Jiaojiao to you.” Then, he said to Shen Miao, “I’ll pick you up after I’m done.”
After Xie Jingxing and Emperor Yong Le left, Empress Xiande smiled and stood up to walk up to Shen Miao. She said, “It’s quite stuffy here. Since you’ve never been to the palace, I’ll show you around.”
Shen Miao quickly agreed.
Empress Xiande was a very good person and did not put on the airs of an empress. The two of them went to the royal garden to have a walk. Along the way, Empress Xiande asked her if she was used to life in Long Ye.
“Ever since Jingxing returned to Long Ye, I haven’t seen him fall in love with any girl in the past few years. I thought that it was probably impossible for him to fall in love with any girl, but I didn’t expect him to eventually marry someone in Ming Qi. Although I’m a little surprised, I’m also relieved at the same time. Otherwise, he would probably be alone for the rest of his life.”
When Shen Miao heard that, she smiled and said, “When Prince Rui was in Ming Qi, many girls liked him. How could such a person be alone?”
