"If it was you, what would you choose?" Xie Jing Xing asked.
Shen Miao said, "When I married you, I did not like you to the point of being willing to be a widow for you." Finishing those words, she revealed a vexed expression, thinking that this was cursing Xie Jing Xing.
But when Xie Jing Xing heard it, he was very happy and pulled her over, pressing Shen Miao's head into his embrace and said with a smile, "Oh? Meaning that now you like me to the point of being a widow for me? " Not waiting for Shen Miao to answer, he said thoughtfully, "So to speak, when you married me, you also admired me."
"Who admired you?" Shen Miao was pressed into his embrace and could not breathe as she spoke in a flustered and exasperated manner. But she heard Xie Jing Xing's leisurely voice ringing from the top of her head, "If you like me then just say it. I have always had tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex and would definitely not bear to let you be a widow at such a young age."
Shen Miao did not get angry but instead laughed and retorted, "Be a widow? Do not worry, there are not many females in this world that would obediently be widows. There are many disputes in front of a widow and there are many small brothels in Long Ye. " Now that she was brought up by Xie Jing Xing, she no longer put on airs like before and would occasionally anger Xie Jing Xing half to death.
Sure enough, when he heard that, Xie Jing Xing's actions paused and stared at her carefully before speaking gently, "Want to look for Xiao Yue 'er?" His tone was gentle but Shen Miao felt an inexplicable chill at the back of her neck. Without waiting for her to speak, Xie Jing Xing suddenly carried her up and stood up before striding towards the bedside, scaring Shen Miao so much that she screamed but Xie Jing Xing was unperturbed as he said, "You remind me to 'work hard, work hard' so naturally this husband would not dare to be lazy."
Tie Yi, who was guarding outside, was caught off guard by the movements of the husband and wife until his old face turned red. He did not know whether to leave or stay as his black face turned red, making it look very interesting.
The husband and wife panted for a while before they finally stopped. Shen Miao used Xie Jing Xing's arm as a pillow and pushed him to ask, "You have not answered my question previously. Does Her Majesty the Empress know or not?"
"Imperial sister-in-law is such a smart woman. If she doesn't know that she was tricked into marrying into this family, it will be a big problem." Xie Jing Xing sighed, "When Imperial Mother was choosing a wife for Imperial Older Brother, she once called Imperial Sao into the Palace and said some words. Mother hates people who take advantage of people's sincerity the most. Even if it's to balance the power, she will let the other party take responsibility. "
Shen Miao said, "Knowing but still marrying in. The Empress really likes His Majesty the Emperor."
Xie Jing Xing did not speak.
Empress Xiande's maiden family was an aristocratic family of scholars. In terms of real power, many aristocratic families could not compare to them. But in the end, Empress Dowager Jingxian chose Empress Xiande to be Emperor Yongle's wife. This was because Empress Xiande's maiden family, the Chief Scribe's Residence, was absolutely loyal. Empress Xiande was just like her title, gentle, honest, intelligent, and generous. Empress Dowager Jingxian was different from Emperor Xiaowu. Emperor Yongle could promote other concubines to balance the power but he only had one wife and this one wife was to be with him for life. One's character was even more important. She was able to share weal and woe with others in riches and was a real lady from a noble family. She was able to withstand the wind and waves and was able to suppress the brocade.
Empress Xiande's maiden family was a loyal and honest person. As for whether Empress Xiande had feelings for Emperor Yongle or not, this was not known. After all, it was a luxury to talk about true feelings in the Imperial family. But Empress Xiande had always been calm about the matter of Emperor Yongle not living to the age of thirty-five.
Shen Miao said, "If it is only for power, she should plan for herself."
Xie Jing Xing smiled, "Imperial sister-in-law is very smart and not greedy."
