…
In the Great Liang Imperial Palace, Empress Xian De was listening to her palace maid reporting about what happened at the Cai Xia banquet. She heard Shen Miao say, "I will not do the matter of willingly becoming a concubine. I won't help my husband take in many concubines and spread the branches and leaves. At the beginning when Prince Rui came to my Shen residence to propose marriage, he had said that the inner courtyard of the Prince residence would not accept other females. If it was not so, I would not travel thousands of miles to marry to Long Ye. "When she said this, Empress Xian De could not help but laugh. She was born gentle and dignified and usually had a calm attitude. When she laughed like this, there was a bit of a young lady's charm.
"Why is Empress smiling so happily?" Emperor Yong Le's voice was heard from outside. His expression was slightly cold as he stepped into the Wei Yang Palace. When he saw Empress Xian De's appearance, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Empress Xian De laughed happily and said, "Cai Lian, repeat Qinwang Fei's words to His Majesty again."
The palace maid called Cai Lian quickly lowered her head and repeated Shen Miao's words that she had imitated in full detail. After listening, Emperor Yong Le flung his sleeves and said angrily, "Nonsense! No rules! Impudent to the extreme! "
Cai Lian jumped in shock and her body trembled. The anger of an Emperor was not something that a little palace maid like her could bear.
Empress Xian De looked at Emperor Yong Le reproachfully and said to Cai Lian, "Withdraw first."
Cai Lian heaved a sigh of relief and quickly withdrew. Empress Xian De then smiled, "Jing Xing, this wife, has a temperament that is a match made in Heaven and Earth. Both are so frank and straightforward. Really a person of character."
"Xie Yuan's nonsense is one thing but you also follow him to do so?" Emperor Yong Le looked at Empress Xian De with dissatisfaction, "Empress seems to like Shen Miao very much?"
"Long Ye had not seen such an interesting person for a long time." Empress Xian De smiled. She watched as Emperor Yong Le sat down beside her. Her tone was still soft, but there was an uncontrollable admiration in her voice. "You look like a smart person, but it is rare that you maintain such a sincere heart."
"Did not see any intelligence or sincerity." Emperor Yong Le said coldly, "It is just a female who racked her brains to curry favor."
"If that's really the case, with Jing Xing's shrewdness, how could he not see it? How could he still like her?"
Emperor Yong Le was unconcerned, "Xie Yuan is still young and cannot differentiate right from wrong. That is why he is bewitched by women."
Empress Xian De sighed. She knew that Emperor Yong Le was stubborn and did not want to argue with him, so she said, "In short, Bengong thinks that Jing Xing's wife is a very good person."
"If he was really good, he wouldn't have boasted shamelessly in front of so many people and said something about jealousy." Emperor Yong Le was very displeased, "Does the Empress also think that it is right not to have children for your husband and take in concubines?"
Empress Xiande smiled faintly. "That is naturally extremely good. It's just that very few women can do it. It is Princess Rui's good fortune to be able to do it. "
"Empress!" Hearing this, Emperor Yong Le frowned and looked at Empress Xian De with a stern gaze.
"This concubine has misspoken." Even though Empress Xian De said so, there was not much fear in her expression. She only said, "It is better for His Majesty to worry less about the matters of Prince Rui residence. Jing Xing is a person with his own ideas. If one were to interfere more, it would attract his ill will. "
"Zhen has my own plans." Emperor Yong Le said in a deep voice.
After a moment of silence, Empress Xian De said, "Is His Majesty prepared for the Imperial City hunt next month?"
"Only preparing one life." Emperor Yong Le's expression did not show any joy or anger, "Zhen have already arranged everything."
"Can this concubine follow along?" Empress Xian De asked, "This concubine wants to follow by His Majesty's side."
"Zhen will bring Consort Jing along." Emperor Yong Le said, "If something happens to Zhen, you still need to take care of the Inner Palace."
Empress Xian De lowered her head and did not speak. After a moment, she raised her head again and smiled warmly, "This concubine knows."
"The person that Zhen is most worried about is Xie Yuan. In the beginning when he was young, he hid in Ming Qi and Zhen felt guilty towards him. But now that the world is settled, Zhen is still unable to fulfill the promise at the beginning. In the future, it is fine if he hates Zhen or understands Zhen's painstaking efforts. What Zhen can do is only this much. " Emperor Yong Le looked outside and said sadly, "It is a pity that before Imperial Mother passed away, she was not able to see him once."
"If Imperial Mother knew in the underworld, she would be gratified to see how outstanding Jing Xing is now." Empress Xian De persuaded.
"Empress." Emperor Yong Le suddenly said.
Empress Xian De looked at him and heard Emperor Yong Le saying, "It has been hard on you for so many years."
"It is this concubine's good fortune to be able to share His Majesty's worries." Empress Xian De smiled. Her expression was very calm, as though no matter how great the suffering was, it would not be able to defeat her elegance. She said, "This concubine has accompanied His Majesty for decades. His Majesty treats this concubine very well. This concubine is already satisfied."
Emperor Yong Le looked at Empress Xian De and wanted to say something. His lips moved but he did not say anything. He only looked at Empress Xian De with a complicated look before moving his eyes away and looked at the green smoke that was coming out of the bronze crane's beak.
Empress Xian De also quietly looked at her sleeves, as though what was said just now was an ordinary household matter. It was just that her eyes were somewhat moist.
