Venomous Empress Reborn

884 Emperor Yong Le (1)

The next morning, Shen Miao was going to the palace with Xie Jingxing to see Emperor Yong Le. Because this was the first time they would meet each other, Shen Miao had to wear the princess consort’s court dress. When Xie Jingxing came out, Shen Miao couldn’t help but be stunned.

The court dresses of the Daliang Dynasty and Ming Qi were different. Ming Qi’s was more exquisite and beautiful, while the Daliang Dynasty’s was more elegant. Xie Jingxing was wearing a purple-gold robe with a qilin embroidered on it. He wore an official hat, green boots, and an agate belt, looking extremely dignified. Without his usual playful attitude, he looked a little unapproachable.

After having breakfast with him, they took a carriage to the palace. Because of what happened last night, Shen Miao felt a little ill at ease being in a confined space with him. However, Xie Jingxing was not a shy person. When they were in the carriage, he deliberately teased her.

Shen Miao thought to herself that this person really had revealed his true colors after coming to the Daliang Dynasty. However, because this was the first time she went to see Emperor Yong Le, her heart was a little heavy, but because of Xie Jingxing’s teasing, she actually felt much better.

Prince Rui’s mansion was not far from the palace. When the guards at the palace gate saw Xie Jingxing, they let him in. As Shen Miao’s maids, Jingzhe and Gu Yu followed closely behind, not daring to breathe loudly. They walked carefully, afraid that they would cause trouble for Shen Miao.

The maids and eunuchs in the palace all lowered their heads, doing their own things. However, when Shen Miao walked past them, she could still feel some probing gazes landing on her. This was the first time she had come to the Daliang Dynasty’s palace. Perhaps everyone had some preconceived opinions about her. The commoners were friendly towards her, but the people in the palace were different. In addition, Xie Jingxing’s identity was special. If Shen Miao was not wrong, many people were fighting for the title of Princess Consort Rui.

Her every move not only represented her status as Princess Consort Rui, but also the Shen family in Ming Qi.

At the thought of this, Shen Miao couldn’t help but stand straight with her shoulders back, giving off an aura that belonged to the rulers.

Xie Jingxing noticed her movement and smiled playfully. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Don’t be so nervous. You are almost going to overshadow the empress.”

Shen Miao glared at him. At this time, Xie Jingxing was still in the mood to fool around. Emperor Yong Le probably had eyes and ears all over the palace. If Emperor Yong Le heard of Xie Jingxing’s words, would he think of her as a femme fatale?

Just as she was thinking, Xie Jingxing held her hand. Shen Miao subconsciously wanted to break free and say, “If we are seen holding hands…”

“What’s wrong with us holding hands?” Xie Jingxing was displeased. “Do I need people’s approval to hold your hands?”

Shen Miao was about to say something when she saw that she had already followed Xie Jingxing to a side hall. Outside the door stood a fat eunuch. When he saw the two of them, he said, “Your Highness, His Majesty and Her Majesty have been waiting for you for a long time.”

It was unknown if it was intentional or not, but he did not bow to Shen Miao.

“Eunuch Deng, this is my wife.” Xie Jingxing refused to let it go just like that. He pushed Shen Miao forward and said, “Why aren’t you bowing to her?”

Shen Miao rolled her eyes at Xie Jingxing in her heart. Eunuch Deng had obviously received orders from his master to treat her like this. Apart from Emperor Yong Le, who else could this master be? Since it was Emperor Yong Le’s idea, not only did Xie Jingxing not go along with it, but he even deliberately brought it up. Was he here to start a fight today?

Eunuch Deng’s smile did not change. He immediately looked at Shen Miao and said, “So it’s Princess Consort, Your Highness. I was blind and didn’t see you. Please forgive me.”
