Chapter 886 Emperor Yongle (3)

“Jingxing, if you say that, I’m going to get angry too.” A smiling voice came, and Shen Miao’s eyes fell on the woman beside Emperor Yongle.

I think this is the wife of Emperor Yongle, Empress Xian De of Daliang.

Empress Xiande looked younger than Emperor Yongle. She wore a pomelo-colored court robe with gold embroidery and a wide belt. Her attire was quite simple and elegant, and she herself had a very dignified appearance. She was clearly a well-educated woman from a wealthy family, intelligent and calm. Sitting beside Emperor Yongle, she smiled at Xie Jingxing.

Shen Miao also remembered that Xie Jingxing had praised Empress Xian De. There weren't many women who could earn praise from someone as discerning as Xie Jingxing, and since Empress Xian De could be one of them, she must have something special about her. Even without Xie Jingxing's words, Shen Miao had a favorable impression of Empress Xian De, because of her elegant and calm demeanor. Even Shen Miao, who had become an empress in her previous life, felt ashamed of herself.

"Jingxing's wife, Miss Shen from Mingqi." Empress Xiande nodded to her and smiled gently, "I have always been curious about what kind of girl Jingxing could win over. Now that I see her, I understand. Jingxing has good taste."

Shen Miao said she dared not.

Empress Xian De's praise made Emperor Yongle dissatisfied. He glanced at Empress Xian De, seemed a little displeased, and said in a deep voice: "The rules of Mingqi and Daliang are different. Since you have married into Daliang, you must abide by the rules of Daliang."

"Royal brother," Xie Jingxing interrupted him, "I will naturally teach him the rules. If he can't, you don't have to worry about it. I can handle the people in Prince Rui's mansion myself. You should just mind your own business."

Xie Jingxing was so protective of Shen Miao, and he didn't even give Emperor Yongle any face in front of Shen Miao. Emperor Yongle finally got angry and said, "You are just protecting your wife like this? I won't even let you say a word. Do you want me to give you this seat?"

"Forget it." Xie Jingxing waved his hand nonchalantly, "You can keep this seat for yourself. I'm not interested. But I finally got married with a girl. If you interfere again, my wife will run away. What will I do? I'll be alone for the rest of my life?"

Shen Miao: “…”

If Xie Jingxing was Fu Xiuyi's brother, he would have died eight or ten times over if he had spoken to Fu Xiuyi like that.

Emperor Yongle stood up, glanced at Shen Miao with a threatening look, then turned and walked away. Halfway through, he saw Xie Jingxing still standing beside Shen Miao, with no intention of following him. He immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Get over here!"

Xie Jingxing was helpless and said to Empress Xian De, "Sister-in-law, I'll leave Jiaojiao to you." He then said to Shen Miao, "I'll come pick you up after I'm done."

After Xie Jingxing and Emperor Yongle left, Empress Xian De smiled slightly, stood up and walked to Shen Miao, saying: "It's quite stuffy in this room. Since you have never been to the Daliang Palace, I will show you around."

Shen Miao quickly agreed.

Empress Xian De was a very kind person, with hardly any airs of a queen. The two of them went for a casual stroll in the Imperial Gardens. Along the way, Empress Xian De asked her if she was getting used to living in Longye. Her words made her sound like a kind, intimate older sister, which made her feel very comforted.

"Since Jingxing returned to Longye, I haven't seen him show any interest in any girl in the past few years. I thought it was impossible for him to fall in love with any girl, but I didn't expect him to marry in Mingqi. Although it was a bit unexpected, I feel very relieved. Otherwise, I would really worry that he would never find a girl and be alone for the rest of his life."

Upon hearing this, Shen Miao smiled and said, “How could the prince be alone? When he was young in Mingqi, many girls admired him. He would never be alone.”
