Bringing out Emperor Wen Hui's name, the domineering Consort Xu Xian could not say anything. Just as she was about to say a few sarcastic words, she suddenly saw her own female official coming in. Consort Xu Xian asked, "Arrived?"
The female official nodded her head and in a short while, Luo Xue Yan and Shen Miao walked in. After greeting the two females, Shen Miao followed Luo Xue Yan and stood at the side with her head lowered, not lifting it up. One could only hear a slightly sharp voice, "Shen Furen, this must be your daughter. Lift up your head and let BenGong take a look."
Shen Miao paused for a moment and slowly lifted her head up to meet the two female's sizing gaze. When she saw clearly who the person sitting on the right was, her heart could not help but tighten and felt that the blood in her entire body was boiling.
Consort Xu Xian on the left was Prince Zhou and Prince Jing's Consort Mother and Consort Dong Shu on the right was Fu Xiu Yi's birth mother. At this moment Consort Dong Shu looked over with a smile and said to Consort Xu Xian, "Really a neat child. Clean and tidy, one can see that one has good fortune."
'Good fortune'. Shen Miao only felt flustered in her heart. Consort Dong Shu looked at her with a gentle face and if one did not know, one would definitely put down the vigilance in one's heart because of her kind attitude.
Consort Dong Shu was not favoured as there were countless females around Emperor Wen Hui. There were those with background, talents, beauty and character. Consort Dong Shu however was gentle and slow, did not fight for anything and did not snatch anything. Just based on the word 'stable', she was able to sit in the position of the four consorts. On the surface, she was the one with the lowest status among the four consorts but Shen Miao knew that Consort Dong Shu was not a harmless female like her appearance.
In the beginning when Shen Miao married Fu Xiu Yi, Consort Dong Shu also praised that 'good fortune brings prosperity to the husband' but afterwards Fu Xiu Yi's wings gradually grew and Consort Dong Shu treated her lukewarmly. When she returned from the Qin country, Consort Dong Shu who was the Empress Dowager was on the same side as Mei Furen. In Consort Dong Shu's eyes, she was also a chess piece that was used to rope in the Shen family and was a vulgar chess piece that could not be seen in public. Later when Fu Xiu Yi abolished the Crown Prince, Consort Dong Shu was the first to step forward to help Fu Sheng up.
She quickly lowered her head to hide the trace of hatred in her eyes.
Consort Xu Xian and Consort Dong Shu however thought that Shen Miao was shy and Consort Xu Xian casually asked, "How old are you this year?"
"Replying to Your Ladyship." Shen Miao softly said, "This official's daughter is fourteen."
"Fourteen …" Consort Xu Xian pondered for a while and smiled, "You will be married soon."
This senseless sentence made Luo Xue Yan nervous as she was most worried about Shen Miao. And a female's marriage was more important to one's entire life. If Shen Miao's marriage was controlled by the people in the Palace … Luo Xue Yan's expression was not good. Seeing Luo Xue Yan being so affectionate, Consort Xu Xian laughed instead and said, "Shen Furen is so nervous. Why? Are you afraid that BenGong will be a matchmaker for Young Lady Shen?"
Luo Xue Yan hurriedly said, "I dare not!"
"Do not worry." Consort Xu Xian said, "Even if BenGong really wants to be a matchmaker, BenGong will not randomly choose a couple. I will definitely ask Young Lady's opinion. Speaking of which … "Xu Xian Fei looked at Shen Miao and smiled maliciously," Shen Young Lady, do you have anyone in mind now? "
To ask Consort Dong Shu if Shen Miao had anyone in mind in front of her, everyone knew that Shen Miao was once in love with Fu Xiu Yi. This was to embarrass Consort Dong Shu in public. Consort Xu Xian had always relied on Emperor Wen Hui's favour to be arrogant and despotic. Among the four consorts, Consort Dong Shu was the easiest to bully so to be able to use Consort Dong Shu as a raft, Consort Xu Xian was never tired of it.
"Many thanks to Your Ladyship's good intentions. This official's daughter does not have anyone in mind now." Shen Miao said as she hung her head.
Consort Xu Xian seemed to be somewhat bored and felt that Shen Miao had a wooden temperament and was not like the idiot in the rumours, otherwise she could make fun of it. She waved her hands, "Never mind. If there is none then there is none."
