"Of course, once I've said it, it's as good as my word."
Mi Shan lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment. She wanted to give this opportunity to Sister Xue, but right now, Xia Ranxue hadn't made any moves.
The entire Xia family was demoted to slavery. Xia Ranxue was in the palace but had never been favored. It was likely that the Empress would demote her to a low-ranking palace maid.
In fact, this was an opportunity for her, who wanted to escape her status as an imperial concubine and stay with her cousin Qiao.
The fear is that she will be sent to the Xin Zhe Ku (a place for laborers to work in the fields), where she will be bullied or unable to endure it.
At that time, it would probably be difficult for Mi Shan to use his abilities to rescue her, so he wanted to ask Sister Xue's opinion first before making a request.
"Your Majesty, I think this opportunity is hard-won. Could you give me two days to think it over carefully before making this request to Your Majesty again? I promise that I will not overstep my bounds and cause you any trouble."
"Shan'er, I am Yuanlang, your husband. I will grant any request you make. You need some time, no problem. I will give you two days to think it over."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Mi Shan knelt down in gratitude.
Li Shengyuan helped her up, raised his hand to stroke her beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and his gaze softened:
"Speaking of which, that little maid in your palace just now really made me realize that I haven't paid enough attention to you. You've been the Consort Mi Hui for so long, but I haven't even held a grand ceremony to confer you the title of Consort."
After he finished speaking, Xun'er and Achan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with barely suppressed joy.
"Xu Ninghai, pick an auspicious day soon. I want to give Consort Mi Hui a real title and hold a grand ceremony to confer her the title of Consort. The sooner the better."
"I hereby announce to the world, and share my joy with the people!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your command. I will go and do it right away." Xu Ninghai glanced at Mi Shan respectfully, his face full of a fawning smile.
Mi Shan quickly expressed her gratitude.
Li Shengyuan: "Alright, you've said thank you so many times since just now, and I feel ashamed of myself for not doing so."
He had always used Mi Shan and Bai Lingyu as shields, allowing his ministers to vilify them as wicked concubines.
They repeatedly found themselves in perilous situations.
Although they didn't lose their lives in the end, it was all thanks to their good luck and good fortune.
Doing all this now is also an attempt to make amends.
Mi Shan was well aware of his thoughts, but she pretended to be clueless and coaxed the emperor away in a soft voice. The palace servants couldn't help but rush up to congratulate the empress.
-
at the same time.
On the other side.
In the remote mountain valley, news was scarce.
Mi Fen walked dozens of miles of mountain roads to a relatively bustling market, where she finally heard news about Mi Shan from a storyteller.
"It is said that Master Kongwang captured the two demon concubines..."
Upon hearing this, Mi Fen couldn't help but clap her hands and laugh, "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"
"What did I say? Once Mi Shan enters the palace, she's doomed. It's only a matter of time!"
I'm already surprised that she's managed to hold on this long. Now that she's been branded a vixen, I imagine her fate will be to be executed by the Emperor!
Perhaps the corpse will even be thrown into a mass grave to be fed to the dogs!
"However, why didn't Mother write a letter to tell me about such a joyous occasion?"
Mi Fen looked at the storyteller with curiosity and anticipation.
He replied, "At the crucial moment, the emperor arrived—"
To find out what happens next, stay tuned for the next installment.
The people in the inn were cracking peanuts and listening intently.
Upon hearing this, he scoffed!
"You only ever say half of what you mean. Be careful, or you'll end up with no seasoning in your noodles!"
"Exactly, it's too short! Can't you be a little more sincere? I only tipped you one copper coin!"
The crowd dispersed, grumbling and cursing.
Mi Fen then remembered that she had come out to look for Zhang Jianyue.
I'll write back home later to ask about Mi Shan.
Zhang Jianyue has been gone for several days. She said she came out with Xiao Hu from the same village to learn martial arts from a master and would return the next day. It's been four days now. She's been at home serving them from dawn till dusk every day, and she also has to watch Wang Shi's mood.
With Zhang Jianyue gone, Wang Shi became even more rampant, often teaming up with her mentally challenged sister-in-law to bully her.
With these thoughts in mind, Mi Fen inquired about the whereabouts of Zhang Jianyue and Wang Xiaohu along the way.
Finally, she met a kind man who gave her directions.
"Young Master Zhang, I know him. He won a fortune gambling at my place a few days ago and is currently indulging in a life of unbridled pleasure at the Yihong Garden!"
Mi Fen was taken aback. Zhang Jianyue was in a brothel?
She didn't believe it.
They stormed in, searching room by room, making quite a commotion, before finally finding Zhang Jianyue, who was leaning against the second-floor railing, looking down, among the crowd of onlookers. He was holding a wine jug, with a beautiful woman in his arms.
Mi Fen was so angry she almost fainted, and she rushed forward cursing.
"Zhang Jianyue, you lied to me! You said you came out to find a master to learn martial arts, but you ended up in a brothel instead!"
"You took my dowry and dared to hire prostitutes for me outside!"
Mi Fen grabbed his ear and dragged him down the stairs.
"My wife, I was wrong, please let me go... Did you hear me? I told you to let me go!"
Zhang Jianyue first begged for mercy, but when that didn't work, she gradually became angry under the laughing gazes of the crowd and pushed Mi Fen hard.
Mi Fen was pushed by him and fell down the stairs.
"Ahhh!" Screams erupted around her as Mi Fen lay on the ground in pain, staring in disbelief at her husband who used to call her "wife" and shower her with sweet words. He had actually done such a thing behind her back and even laid a hand on her.
