Chapter 500: This King Helps You (1)
The mansion where the Qin people lived was probably renovated, and the layout was a little different from Ming Qi's house. Shen Miao noticed as soon as she entered that this house in Yanqing Lane was probably renovated by the Qin people, and it was in the same style as the original Qin palace, which was extremely luxurious.
The Qin people loved shiny, golden things, just like Shen Miao before them. They probably felt that gold and silver could show off their country's wealth. Even some of the bricks in the palace were made of gold. When Shen Miao first visited the Qin Kingdom, she saw how beautifully renovated the palace was and was quite envious. Now, thinking about it, the Qin royal family's preferences were truly unflattering. Such an eagerness to show off their wealth was rather cliché.
Brought to the garden by the maid who led the way, Shen Miao finally saw Princess Ming'an.
Princess Ming'an sat at a small stone table in the garden. A delicate silk handkerchief embroidered with butterflies lay on it, and upon it lay several plates of exquisite snacks and a pot of tea. Next to it was a small pond, still frozen at this time of year. Many red carp swayed and twitched their tails in the water. Several maids sat nearby, feeding the fish with small bowls.
Shen Miao stood in front of Princess Ming'an and saluted her.
Princess Ming'an turned her head.
Of the three states, Ming Qi, Daliang, and Qin, Daliang was undoubtedly the most powerful. In comparison, Ming Qi and Qin were much weaker. However, Qin was slightly better off due to its stronger military.
Perhaps it was because the Fu family, the imperial family of Ming Qi, was so eager to retain military power that they were afraid to relinquish it. Over the years, Ming Qi had been unable to produce any outstanding generals. For example, when Chen Xin and Xie Ding gradually declined in prominence, Ming Qi was unable to find other military families to replace them. Therefore, Emperor Wenhui had hurriedly summoned Chen Xin to the tribute banquet, to avoid losing face in front of other states.
Perhaps the Qin State also knew that it could not compare to the Daliang, but it was superior to the Ming Qi. The Qin people always had a sense of superiority in front of the Ming Qi people. This feeling was extremely annoying. When Shen Miao traveled through mountains and rivers to the Qin State in her previous life, it seemed that even the little maids in the Qin Palace looked down on her from the bottom of their hearts. The Qin royal family was even more shameless. It seemed that by trampling on her dignity, they could trample on the dignity of Ming Qi.
Seeing Princess Ming'an at this moment, some memories of my previous life came flooding back.
"I invited you here today. I originally thought you wouldn't dare to come, but I didn't expect you to come alone. You're quite brave indeed." Princess Ming'an glanced at Shen Miao, her eyes suddenly darkening. Today, she was wearing a golden Huanhua gauze dress gilded with red, and her makeup was the most beautiful Linlang Zhu hairpin in Qin State. However, she felt dwarfed when she saw Shen Miao in a lilac cloak, without any makeup.
Princess Ming'an was actually quite beautiful, a typical Qin imperial woman, pampered and cherished, possessing a unique delicacy. She possessed many different qualities: a delicate and gentle demeanor, yet a captivating presence. Her dignified and majestic demeanor left her without a trace of softness, as if a woman who had sat on a throne high in the palace for years possessed an air of nobility that could never be cultivated.
“Princess, you’re joking.” Shen Miao’s expression remained unchanged: “Princess, you are Ming Qi’s guest. Since Shen Miao is so lucky to be invited, why wouldn’t she come to the appointment?”
Jingzhe and Guyu stood behind Shen Miao. Mo Qing was stopped by the guards at the door, but Shen Miao didn't say anything. Shen Miao knew Princess Ming'an's temperament very well. Since Princess Ming'an had sent the invitation today, it was impossible for her to do anything truly dangerous. It was nothing more than using some means to make her suffer. Shen Miao had been prepared when she arrived, but the suffering would not be in vain. Princess Ming'an would definitely exaggerate tenfold for what she did today.
