Venomous Empress Reborn

887 Emperor Yong Le (4)

Empress Xiande smiled and shook her head. “Then have you ever seen him treat anyone especially well?”

Shen Miao was stunned.

Empress Xiande continued, “Jingxing and his brother are very much alike. The emperor is cold inside and out. Jingxing looks gentle and easy to talk to, but in fact, his personality is also cold. He probably knows very well that his identity is special, so he shouldn’t have designs on things he shouldn’t have.” She looked at Shen Miao and smiled. “I think Jingxing has told you his secret.”

“Since he was young, he had to hide his identity and emotions and gradually developed self-control, but his heart has also become hard. This is a good thing for him as a royal member, but it’s not a good thing for him as a man. I’ve always thought that if Jingxing is like the emperor, he’ll suffer too much in this life. Fortunately, he’s luckier than the emperor and met you.”

In the short time Shen Miao had spent with Empress Xiande, she almost took a liking to Empress Xiande immediately. She seemed to have the magic of making people feel at ease naturally. This was a quality rarely seen in the women of the harem.

However, what did she mean by saying that Xie Jingxing was luckier than Emperor Yong Le?

Empress Xiande said, “His Majesty wants Jingxing to live a comfortable and happy life, but he also doesn’t want Jingxing to be corrupted by the greed for a comfortable life. His Majesty is having a hard time. If he says some hurtful words to you, don’t blame him.”

Shen Miao smiled. “I have no right to blame His Majesty. However,” she looked at Empress Xiande, “Do you have something to say to me?”

Empress Xiande smiled and sighed. “The first time I saw you just now, I felt a sense of familiarity with you. You’re a smart girl, I know, but smart people can easily get wrapped up in their own thoughts. If you don’t untie it yourself, the knot in your heart will never be untied.”

Shen Miao frowned slightly. She vaguely felt that there were layers in Empress Xiande’s words.

“His Majesty values Jingxing very much. Although he agreed to Jingxing’s marriage, he is still unhappy. Jingxing naturally has a way to resist His Majesty’s decision, but you’re different. You’re from Ming Qi. In the Daliang Dynasty, there were always many restrictions.” Empress Xiande said, “I like you very much, but I can’t change His Majesty’s mind. I just hope you can live a comfortable life.”

Shen Miao said, “What is His Majesty going to do?”

Just as Empress Xiande was about to speak, a charming female voice came from behind her and said, “Sister, you’re in a good mood today. I haven’t seen you coming to the royal garden in a long time.”

Shen Miao and the empress turned around at the same time and saw a few palace maids escorting a woman out of the small corridor on the other side of the garden. This woman was wearing silver and gold. She was dressed even more gorgeous than the blooming flowers in the early spring. When she got closer, they realized that this woman was actually beautiful, but because of her gorgeous dress, she looked vulgar .

She came over and bowed to Empress Xiande. However, it was perfunctory, as if she did not take Empress Xiande seriously.

“Oh, so it’s Consort Jing,” Empress Xiande replied indifferently.
