Early the next morning, Shen Miao entered the Palace.
Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin were worried about her and let her bring a lot of guards. But the guards of the Shen residence could not follow Shen Miao at all times and when they reached the Palace doors, they had to wait outside.
Before Shen Miao left, she wore all the big and small jewellery that Xie Jing Xing gave her. Regarding the Ming Qi's Imperial Palace, she never feared to speculate with the greatest malice and was only afraid that there would be an accident so she was fully prepared.
When she reached the Palace doors, Gu Yu and the rest were waiting outside with the guards and Shen Miao was led by a palace maid towards Kun Ning Palace. Along the way, the palace maid felt somewhat strange. The path from the Palace doors to Kun Ning Palace was not simple and one had to go through several corridors and some gardens but Shen Miao was very familiar with the path. She did not even need the palace maid to remind her as she lifted her feet to walk over the old and loose steps. The palace maid's heart was suspicious. Could it be that Shen Miao came to Kun Ning Palace once and remembered this path so well that she did not make any mistakes?
She did not expect that this Kun Ning Palace was the place where Shen Miao lived in her previous life and every grass and tree was engraved in her heart. Thus in the face of the grand furnishings and exquisite displays, she turned a blind eye to them. If one looked carefully, one could see a flash of disgust in Shen Miao's eyes.
Others did not know about these.
When they reached Kun Ning Palace, the palace maid was combing the Empress' hair. Shen Miao waited for a while before the Empress let her in.
Today Consort Dong Shu did not come over and there was only the Empress as a master. She was wearing some formal court attire and had a nine phoenix hairpin on her head. Her makeup was expensive and there was a sense of oppression coming from her.
Shen Miao took a look and understood in her heart.
Did this really think that she was a young lady who was not familiar with worldly affairs and wanted to use the Imperial family's prestige to threaten her? Force her to take the initiative to let go? No wonder Shen Miao deliberately sent Luo Xue Yan away. If Shen Miao was really a sixteen year old young lady, dressed so formally in front of the Empress and with a few vague threatening words, she would feel that she was alone and helpless. Her heart would be flustered and she would not know what happened.
But how was Shen Miao a young lady? The person in front of her was the Empress. She was the Empress in her previous life. She was more knowledgeable, arrogant, and suffered more hardships than this one. So, she really didn't care about the name of a fox borrowing the tiger's might. Shen Miao's eyes drooped down and a humble smile surfaced.
The Empress slowly frowned. Shen Miao's reaction was somewhat different from what she thought. She did not know if Shen Miao was deliberately pretending to be confused or was originally stupid. Her eyes landed on the bracelet on Shen Miao's wrist and slightly narrowed her eyes before smiling, "This bracelet is of good quality. Come forward and let BenGong take a look."
Shen Miao went forward as instructed and the Empress held Shen Miao's hands. The bracelet was made of a rare jade material from an unknown place. It was bright green and extremely smooth. Just as she was about to praise a few words, she heard Shen Miao laughing, "Replying to Your Ladyship, this official's daughter's hairpin, necklace and earrings are also very good looking."
The Empress was taken aback and looked at it seriously. Her mouth couldn't help but twitch. The cat's eye hairpin was matched with pearl earrings, and the pearl earrings were matched with an amber necklace. As for the bracelets and miscellaneous jewelry, there was no need to mention them. They were clearly all exquisite and valuable jewelry, so why did she feel so awkward stuffing them all onto her body? The Empress suddenly did not want to praise Shen Miao's jewelry and even lost interest in the bracelet. Her heart was filled with indescribable contempt. Initially it was said that the Young Lady of the Shen family was an idiot who only knew about gold and silver. Afterwards it was thought that she had changed her appearance but looking at it today, she was not the same as before. Once she thought of marrying Shen Miao to the Crown Prince, the Empress was not happy. If it was not because the Shen family's military power could help the Crown Prince, the Empress would not be willing to let such a vulgar female marry into the Eastern Palace.
