Venomous Empress Reborn

889 Emperor Yong Le (6)

Consort Jing was rendered speechless, but her heart was burning with anger.

Shen Miao was not aggressive and said that she did not have time to entertain guests, but in fact, she was showing off, telling everyone that Prince Rui doted on her and handed the management of the mansion to her.

While emphasizing that she would be busy with the management of Prince Rui’s mansion, Shen Miao also indirectly criticized Consort Jing’s fourth sister for being idle and unworthy of becoming Prince Rui’s consort.

The corners of Empress Xiande’s mouth curled up.

Consort Jing was so angry that her face turned ashen.

However, Shen Miao usually did not make enemies with anyone, especially in an unfamiliar place. However, at this moment, if she did not confront Consort Jing’s provocation, she would give everyone an illusion that they could all bully her.

With Xie Jingxing backing her up, she would be a fool if she gave in!

Shen Miao smiled. “I heard that good women are always empathetic. Consort Jing is so worried about me being lonely and wants to help me find some friends. I think the reason you can empathize with me is because you are lonely too. Why don’t you find some sisters to visit you in the palace in the future? That way, you will not be that lonely.”

Consort Jing was so angry that she almost choked.

Consort Jing asked Shen Miao to invite her fourth sister to accompany her. Shen Miao quickly came up with a solution. She said the same thing and asked Consort Jing to invite home a few more “sisters”.

Consort Jing gritted her teeth in hatred. She was in her prime now, but she couldn’t stay young forever. Every year, so many concubines entered the palace, and everyone strove to win the favor of the emperor. If a few more beautiful “sisters” came, wouldn’t she be putting herself at risk?

What a sharp-tongued woman!

Empress Xiande smiled and said, “So Consort Jing is lonely. That’s easy. I’ll mention it to His Majesty tomorrow. The palace has been a little deserted these days. It’s time to add a few new sisters.”

Consort Jing panicked and said, “I’m not lonely. I’m not lonely!” Empress Xiande’s position as the empress was stable, so adding a few more sisters naturally did not matter to her. However, Consort Jing was at a time when she was favored, so she didn’t want anyone to compete with her over the favor of the emperor.

Shen Miao was grateful to Empress Xiande for going along with her. Although she knew that Empress Xiande was just joking, she still said seriously, “Consort Jing, don’t decline. Since you’re considerate to me, I should also be considerate to you.”

Suddenly, there was the sound of chuckling. They turned around and saw Emperor Yong Le and Xie Jingxing standing behind the garden. Because the two of them hid behind the bushes, no one noticed them. It was unknown how long they had been listening.

Emperor Yong Le’s expression was cold, and no one could tell if he was happy or angry. He only said indifferently, “Prince Rui, your wife is quite sharp-tongued.” He sounded a little unhappy. It seemed that he heard the part where Shen Miao and Empress Xiande teased Consort Jing.

Consort Jing ran to Emperor Yong Le aggrievedly. “Your Majesty…”

Xie Jingxing walked over and patted Shen Miao’s head, as if he was rewarding his white tiger. He said with relief, “Jiaojiao is really kind. You even show consideration for people you’ve just met.” He glanced at Emperor Yong Le. “Since Consort Jing wants sisters, Brother, you should help her. It’s not like the palace can’t afford to raise a few idle people.”

When Consort Jing heard that, she was anxious and flustered. She bit her lip and looked at Emperor Yong Le with a pitiful expression.

Shen Miao wanted to laugh. Consort Jing came to bully her, but in the end, she became the one being bullied. Shen Miao did not know why Emperor Yong Le would favor such a woman.

Emperor Yong Le said, “Since when are you interested in interfering in my matters?”

“Isn’t your consort also interfering in my matters?” Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and looked at Consort Jing. He was handsome, and he usually had a lazy smile on his face. The women in the palace also liked him, but they all knew in their hearts that Prince Rui was not to be trifled with.

His gaze was sharp, and his tone was calm, but it made people shiver.

He said, “Consort Jing, are you sure you want me to listen to your fourth sister play a song?”

Consort Jing shuddered.
