Chapter 889 Emperor Yongle (6)
These words left Concubine Jing speechless, but a fire was burning in her heart.
Shen Miao's words seemed gentle, saying she didn't have time to accompany guests, but in fact, it was a blatant show-off. Look, Prince Rui loves her so much that he has entrusted all the affairs of the Prince's Mansion to Shen Miao. This is naturally because Shen Miao is the only female mistress in the Prince's Mansion, but if she didn't favor one person, she wouldn't have to hand over all the shop maids and guards to her, right? If this continues, it would be better to say that Prince Rui's wife is also in charge of Prince Rui.
Princess Rui is finding ways to show off how high her status is in the Prince's Mansion!
Shen Miao was busy with official business, and she also secretly trampled on Concubine Jing's fourth sister. She had nothing to do all day long, and she went to other people's houses to cause trouble for them. She was really not a virtuous woman.
The corners of Empress Xian De's mouth rose slightly.
Concubine Jing's face turned ashen with anger.
But Shen Miao usually doesn't make enemies with others, especially when she is in an unfamiliar place. It's just that Concubine Jing provoked the anger in her heart at this time. If she doesn't turn the tables, won't everyone be able to step on her head in the future?
The time, place and people are all right, and Xie Jingxing is backing her up. If she gives in, she would be a fool!
Shen Miao smiled faintly: "I heard that kind-hearted women are most sympathetic. Madam Jingfei is so worried about me being lonely and wants to find some sisters to keep me company. I think she also feels the same way. Perhaps Madam Jingfei also feels lonely sometimes. It would be better if she could find a few more sisters to come to the palace to spend time with her in the future. That way, Madam Jingfei would be much happier."
Concubine Jing was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe!
When Shen Miao said this, Concubine Jing asked Shen Miao to invite her fourth sister to visit her in the mansion, hoping that she would have more "sisters" in the backyard. Shen Miao was also a wonderful person, and immediately returned it intact, allowing Concubine Jing to have a few more "sisters" in the palace!
Concubine Jing gnashed her teeth in hatred. She was in the prime of her life, but several years had passed after all. There were so many beauties entering the palace every year, and the emperor's favor was the most precious. If a few more stunningly beautiful "sisters" came, how would she cope with it!
Princess Rui has such a sharp tongue!
Empress Xian De suddenly smiled and said, "So Sister Jing Fei is lonely. That's easy to deal with. I will mention it to Your Majesty tomorrow. The palace has been a little quiet these days, and it's time to add a few new sisters."
Concubine Jing suddenly became anxious and said, "I'm not alone, I'm not alone!" Empress Xian De's position as empress was secure, so having a few more sisters naturally didn't matter to her, but Concubine Jing was in favor right now, and she was afraid that someone else would share her favor.
Shen Miao was grateful to Empress Xian De for going along with her. Although she knew that Empress Xian De was just talking, she still said seriously: "Your Highness Jing Fei, please don't refuse. Since you are so considerate of me, I should return the favor." She sounded as if Jing Fei should be the one to thank her.
A chuckle was heard from someone not far away. They turned around and saw Emperor Yongle and Xie Jingxing standing at the back of the garden. Because they were hidden by the bushes, they didn't see their figures, and they didn't know how long they had been listening.
Emperor Yongle's face was indifferent, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. He just said lightly: "Prince Rui, your wife is very eloquent." He was a little unhappy after all. It seemed that Shen Miao and Empress Xian De had deliberately teased Concubine Jing just now, and they must have been heard.
Concubine Jing ran towards Emperor Yongle with grievance: "Your Majesty..."
Xie Jingxing came over and patted Shen Miao on the head, as if commending the white tiger cub in his backyard. He spoke with satisfaction, "Jiaojiao is really sensible and knows how to actively sympathize with others' feelings." He then glanced at Emperor Yongle and said, "Since Concubine Jing wants a sister, your brother should go along with it. It's not like the palace can't afford to have idle people."
When Concubine Jing heard this, she felt anxious and panicked. She bit her lip and looked at Emperor Yongle, looking pitiful.
Shen Miao wanted to laugh. Concubine Jing came here with all her might, but she was brainless. Now it seemed like they had teamed up to bully Concubine Jing. She didn't know why Emperor Yongle would support such a woman.
Emperor Yongle asked, "When will you start interfering in my affairs?"
"Isn't it the Emperor's consort who controls my younger brother's princess?" Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow and looked at Concubine Jing. He was handsome and romantic, always smiling lazily. The ladies in the palace also liked his romantic appearance. However, they all knew in their hearts that this Prince Rui was not someone to be trifled with.
His eyes were sharp and his tone was calm, yet it made people shiver.
He said, "Princess Jing, are you sure you want me to listen to your fourth sister play music?"
Concubine Jing shuddered.
