Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 888 - 888 Emperor Yong Le (5)

888 Emperor Yong Le (5)

Shen Miao was surprised that a woman in her early twenties could become a consort. Either her family was extremely prominent, or she was very favored. However, Shen Miao felt that compared to Empress Xiande, apart from being younger and more beautiful, this Consort Jing seemed to be much inferior to Empress Xiande in terms of temperament. She really could not see anything about her that was worthy of Emperor Yong Le’s favor.

Consort Jing seemed to have just noticed Shen Miao and asked, “This person looks very unfamiliar. Which family is she from?”

Shen Miao was already dressed like a married woman. Therefore, although she looked young, no one would think that she was an unmarried young lady.

“This is Prince Rui’s wife, Princess Consort Rui.” Empress Xiande did not seem to want to introduce Shen Miao to Consort Jing, so her reply was curt.

As soon as she said that, Consort Jing’s expression changed. She first called out in surprise, “Princess Consort Rui?” Then, she sized up Shen Miao.

Her gaze was very rude, as if she was sizing up a plaything. After sizing Shen Miao up, she snorted and said in a low voice, “I originally thought the girl who Prince Rui brought back from Ming Qi must be a peerless beauty, but now…” She smiled meanly. “It’s probably because my taste is bad. I really can’t see anything special about you.”

Shen Miao was careful not to speak. However, Empress Xiande’s expression turned a little ugly. She said, “I’m afraid in your eyes, no one can be considered special.”

Shen Miao was a little surprised that Empress Xiande would flare up at Consort Jing for her, but she also felt that Empress Xiande was a little like Emperor Yong Le.

However, Empress Xiande’s mockery did not work. It was unknown if Consort Jing did not understand. Consort Jing looked at Empress Xiande and suddenly smiled, saying, “It seems like you two are on good terms. I wonder if you’re having a good chat, You should talk to her more. After all, Princess Consort Rui is new here and needs to know a lot of things.”

Shen Miao looked at Consort Jing.

Consort Jing chuckled. “Prince Rui is busy every day and probably doesn’t have time to talk to Princess Consort Rui about the Daliang Dynasty. Speaking of which, a few days ago, my fourth sister asked when Prince Rui will be back. She said that she learned a song and wants Prince Rui to give her some pointers.”

Empress Xiande said angrily, “Consort Jing!”

Shen Miao was enlightened. She was wondering why Consort Jing would target her for no reason. She thought that Xie Jingxing was liked by girls in Ming Qi, but in the Daliang Dynasty, there were even more girls in love with him. Now, as soon as she came, she was hated by them.

Consort Jing looked at Shen Miao with a smile. “Princess Consort Rui, if you have nothing to do, you can invite my fourth sister over. My fourth sister has always liked to make good friends. It’s good to have more sisters in a new place.”

More sisters? Shen Miao sneered in her heart. She probably meant more wives for Xie Jingxing.

Shen Miao originally wanted to brush her off. However, when her gaze accidentally landed on the thumb ring Xie Jingxing gave her, she changed her mind. She smiled and said, “I’m afraid that won’t do.”

Consort Jing was stunned, and so was Empress Xiande, as if she did not expect Shen Miao to say that.

“His Highness Prince Rui asked me to take care of everything at home. I’m afraid I don’t have time to entertain guests.” Shen Miao smiled gently and seemed to be a little apologetic. “After all, I’m new here. His Highness trusts me. I don’t dare to let him down. If your fourth sister wants, she can go and look for Prince Rui directly. As for me, I don’t have time.”
