Chapter 879 New House (2)
At the back of the team, Ji Yushu said to Gao Yang, "Third brother has good intentions. In order to make the people of Longye accept my sister-in-law, he has been spreading the word for a long time."
"Even a hero can't resist the temptation of a beautiful woman." Gao Yang sighed, fanning himself, "So what can I do?"
"But His Majesty must be furious. And the young ladies from those mansions are deeply in love with Third Brother. I'm afraid my sister-in-law will have trouble with him this time."
"What are you afraid of?" Gao Yang said, "Chen Miao is not an ordinary person. It's not certain who will torture whom." After saying this, he said sadly, "Now that I am going back to my original position, I actually miss the days in Ming Qi."
"Who said it wasn't?" Ji Yushu also sighed, patted Gao Yang's shoulder, and said in a tone of brotherly distress: "Let's go."
…
The Daliang Palace occupies a vast area, with buildings and side halls connected one after another, with golden glazed tiles and bright red walls and pillars. Perhaps because the royal family loves gold and red, the entire palace has a sense of grandeur.
The stone lions at the door are majestic and proud. A golden dragon is hovering on the golden dragon throne. The dragon head is on the back of the chair, inlaid with two red gems, and the dragon tail is wrapped around the armrest. The fine scales on the tip of the tail are carved vividly, as if it will take off the dragon throne and soar into the sky in the next moment.
At that moment, the empty court hall was deserted, save for the man seated on the dragon throne. He sat upright and majestic, yet for some reason, at this moment, with the sun about to go out and the candles in the palace still unlit, the light gradually fading, his majestic figure seemed particularly lonely and desolate.
The sound of "da, da, da" footsteps could be heard in the hall. A woman came slowly, trailing a long tail. Wearing a nine-phoenix crown on her head, she had a gentle smile on her face and walked step by step towards the man sitting on the dragon throne.
She said, "Your Majesty is sitting here alone, and he hasn't even spoken a word to me."
The man then raised his head, as if he had just noticed the person coming, and said, "It's the Queen."
Empress Xian De smiled slightly and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you worried about?"
"Jingxing returned today." Emperor Yongle rubbed his forehead. "He also brought back that Mingqi woman. I told him countless times to cut off all ties with that woman. Not only did he not listen, he intercepted my troops, executed her first and then reported her to me. He married her back to Daliang and brought her to Longye, and even made her his principal wife."
“Your Majesty, don’t you like Shen Miao?” Empress Xian De’s voice was soft.
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts." Emperor Yongle said only eight words.
These eight words also represent his meaning. If you are not from Daliang, you will naturally not do things that are loyal to Daliang.
“Your Majesty doesn’t like Shen Miao, but Jing Xing does.” Empress Xian De said, “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have traveled thousands of miles to marry Shen Miao back to Longye, wouldn’t have offered ninety-nine betrothal gifts, and wouldn’t have built a good reputation for Shen Miao among the people of the world.” After a pause, she said, “And certainly wouldn’t have disobeyed Your Majesty.”
"You have a foxy face and you are trying to please the master!" Emperor Yongle said in a deep voice, but there was suppressed anger in his voice.
“Perhaps Shen Miao really has some extraordinary qualities,” Empress Xian De soothed, “Jing Xing has always been a child with his own ideas. Your Majesty has selected so many beauties for him, but he didn’t like any of them. Now that he is willing to go this far for Shen Miao, there must be a reason. Your Majesty, are you unwilling to trust Jing Xing just once?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe him, it’s that I don’t believe Shen Miao!” Emperor Yongle said.
"But there's nothing your majesty can do, is there?"
Emperor Yongle looked at her with some displeasure: "Are you trying to say that I'm incompetent?"
"Of course not." Empress Xian De smiled. "Your Majesty has never been able to be cruel to Jing Xing. That's why Jing Xing is so unscrupulous and can kill first and report later. It's because he knows that even if Your Majesty is angry, he won't really punish him."
