"Most likely you and BenGong are different." Empress Xiande did not wait for Shen Miao to reply and continued, "In the past His Majesty did not know who you are and inquired about your matters. BenGong listened and knew that you are a person with ideas. You dealt with the Imperial family of Ming Qi and protect the Shen family. From the beginning, you most likely had your own ideas. As for meeting Jing Xing and marrying him, it was all coincidental and let nature take its course. If you did not meet Jing Xing, you can also live your own life because your initial goal was not to become someone's wife. "
"But BenGong is different." She looked at the ruby on her long armour and said, "BenGong's family is rich and stable, and there is no spearhead in the disputes with the court and was born without worries. When BenGong met the Emperor, BenGong felt that the most important thing in life was to become his wife and accompany him for a lifetime. " She propped her head on her elbow and spoke slowly, as if she was going to fall asleep in the next moment, but she was still talking.
"Perhaps it was because BenGong's first half of life was too worry-free that one did not know that becoming a person's wife was such a difficult matter."
Shen Miao did not speak.
Empress Xiande was too bitter. These days she did not speak anything but Shen Miao understood that kind of feeling. This was because talking wouldn't change anything. But sometimes, it was good to be able to say it. Now that Empress Xiande was willing to speak it out, at least it was better than keeping it in her heart.
"After the Emperor left, BenGong did not know what to do. The females in the Inner Palace were also dismissed. This Palace was originally noisy and annoying, but now it was deserted, making one feel strangely lonely. BenGong thought that it would be better if one did not meet the Emperor in the beginning. One would rather be like you, to fight against the Imperial family and protect the Shen family carefully. It would be better than this destined sad ending. "
Her words were too sad and too desperate. Shen Miao comforted her, "This official's wife is also the same. In fact no one's entire life is always peaceful and smooth. Ever since this official's wife was born, other than the concern of parents and Older Brothers, there was not a moment when the Heavens bestowed a good life. This official's wife never dared to hope for these, so one can only believe in oneself for everything. Meeting Your Highness is this official's wife's good fortune, but if not for Your Highness, this official's wife's path would have been even more difficult. " Pausing, she continued: "It is the same for the Empress. Even if the Emperor leaves first, the Empress should think of herself and live for herself. No matter how hard the road is, keep walking. This is what the Emperor wants to see."
Empress Xian De was silent for a long time, so long that Shen Miao thought that she did not hear her words at all before she heard her say, "Qin Wang Fei, thank you."
"I understand what you're saying."
"It's just that this is too difficult, too difficult."
That night, Shen Miao and Empress Xian De sat for a long time. They didn't say much, but it felt like they had said a lot.
After Shen Miao left, Empress Xiande sat alone in the Palace for a long time.
Empress Xiande didn't get up until Tao Gugu came to urge her to go to bed and rest. Aunt Tao didn't leave until she saw her freshen up and go to bed.
After closing the door, the person on the bed sat up again.
She lit the lamp and rummaged through the cabinets to find clothes. It was not the Empress' court robes, but a moon white plain dress. She loved such simple and refreshing colours, but after becoming the Empress, she could no longer wear such styles. If it was not exquisite and grand, she would not be able to 'suppress' the other concubines.
She looked calm and composed, but in fact she was an introverted young lady who did not like to speak.
She wore a simple dress and sat in front of the mirror. Lightly brushing her eyebrows and lightly applying rouge, she looked extremely pretty.
