There was an additional Mei Furen in the Inner Palace. Mei Furen was delicate and intelligent, charming and gentle, like a riddle that attracted one's gaze to her for a long time, unwilling to leave.
In the beginning, there were times of heartbreak. The man that she once loved would use that kind of doting gaze to look at the woman beside him. She thought that he treated everyone with the same coldness, but later discovered that it was not the case. It was just that that person was not herself.
After many days of heartbreak, she gradually became numb. The pain and dispiritedness gradually turned into hatred and unwillingness. Because of Fu Sheng.
Fu Sheng always took away too much of Fu Xiu Yi's favour and her child, Fu Ming, was obviously sitting in the Crown Prince's position and was obviously talented and hardworking, but at the end he was like a prince that had fallen out of favour. Fu Xiu Yi could personally teach Fu Sheng how to write and discuss politics, but was stingy to give Fu Ming a look of concern.
When asked, he would say that Fu Ming was the Crown Prince and must be mature and steady. What was the matter with pestering Imperial Father every day.
But every time she saw Fu Ming's disappointed eyes, Shen Miao's heart would feel as if a knife was being twisted in her heart.
The Shen family was also not doing well. Luo Xue Yan's illness was getting worse and Jing Chu Chu and Shen Qiu were dragging it out. The Shen family's reputation was getting worse, and Shen Xin had aged a lot.
Fu Xiu Yi seemed to be suppressing the Shen family and Shen Miao was faintly aware of it. But how could one in the Inner Palace clearly know about the matters in court? The only way she could come into contact with these was through Pei Lang, but Pei Lang was loyal to Fu Xiu Yi. Even though Pei Lang's relationship with her was not bad, but he would always be loyal to Fu Xiu Yi first.
Shen Miao's infatuation with Fu Xiu Yi had long turned into ice after watching him being together with Mei Furen for the past few years. But in her position, she had to sit firmly in the position of Empress and fight for some opportunities for Fu Ming and Wan Yu.
There was news from the Xiong Nu side that Mei Furen seemed to want to urge Fu Xiu Yi to marry Wan Yu over.
This was what Shen Miao could not tolerate.
However Mei Furen's methods were getting more and more brilliant. Everyone could see Fu Xiu Yi's doting towards Fu Sheng. The Shen family was getting worse day by day and there were too many people who stood at Mei Furen's side. Throwing stones at someone who was down, everyone wanted to step on them. In addition, Mei Furen's brother, Li Ke, had recently helped Fu Xiu Yi to settle several important matters, thus Mei Furen's status in the Inner Palace rose steadily.
Shen Miao knew what the officials were thinking. They were thinking about when to change the Crown Prince and when to abolish the Empress.
But Fu Xiu Yi still wanted to save face. She was the first wife and for Mei Furen to go over her head, it would not be that simple.
She fought back and forth, going round and round, but her heart was already exhausted. If it wasn't for this pair of children, he sometimes felt that it would be better to burn the entire palace to the ground. That way, the world would be at peace.
Bai Lu walked in and said, "Niangniang, the clothes for the palace banquet have been prepared, it is better to comb your hair early."
Shen Miao complied.
Shuang Jiang had died a year ago and Mei Furen's methods were very good. She did not even let off the maid by her side. After going around in circles, only Bai Lu was left.
Tonight was the Ming Qi's palace banquet. The new year was approaching and Fu Xiu Yi wanted to reward the officials. Of course the most important thing was to send off the Little Marquis of the residence of the Marquis of Lin An, Xie Jing Xing. The Marquis of Lin An, Xie Ding, died in the battlefield of the Northern Jiang and now his son was going out to battle again. In fact this timing was not good and one would feel that this departure was somewhat tragic but Xie Jing Xing still accepted the commander request.
Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing did not have much interaction because of the subtle relationship between the Shen and Xie families. Ever since the time of Xie Ding in the residence of the Marquis of Lin An, only Xie Jing Xing was supporting the door. This unavoidably made one sigh. Initially the Southern Xie and Northern Shen, until now the Shen family was getting worse day by day and the Xie family was also gradually declining. It really made one sympathize with the death of the rabbit.
