879 Bridal Chamber (2)

At the back of the procession, Ji Yushu said to Gao Yang, “Third Brother has put in a lot of effort. In order to make the people of Long Ye accept Shen Miao, he has been spreading good words for a long time.”

“No man can resist the charms of a beautiful woman.” Gao Yang waved his fan and sighed.

“It’s just that His Majesty must be furious. Also, the ladies of those families are deeply in love with Third Brother. I’m afraid Sister-in-law will be pestered this time.”

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Gao Yang said, “Shen Miao is not an ordinary person.” With that, he said sadly, “Now that we’re back where we came from, I actually miss the days in Ming Qi.”

!!

“Who doesn’t?” Ji Yushu also sighed and patted Gao Yang’s shoulder. He said in a sad tone, “Let’s go.”

…

The palace of the Daliang Dynasty took up a lot of space. There were golden glazed tiles and red wall pillars. The royal family probably liked gold and red. The entire palace looked very majestic.

The stone lion at the door was mighty and imposing. On the dragon throne made of gold, a golden dragon was circling. The dragon head was on the back of the throne, embedded with two red gems. The dragon tail was wrapped around the armrest, and the scales were carved vividly, as if it was about to soar into the sky from the dragon throne in the next moment.

At this moment, there was no one in the empty hall except for the man sitting on the dragon throne. He sat upright and dignified. However, for some reason, at this moment, when the sun was about to set and the lanterns in the palace were not lit, his dignified figure looked especially lonely.

Tap, tap, tap. Footsteps sounded in the hall. A woman slowly walked over, dragging her long dress and wearing a nine-phoenix crown. She had a gentle smile and walked towards the man sitting on the dragon throne.

She said, “Your Majesty, you’re sitting here alone again.”

Only then did the man look up and say, “Empress, what brought you here?”

Empress Xiande said with a smile, “Your Majesty, what’s troubling you?”

“Jingxing came back today.” Emperor Yong Le rubbed his forehead. “He even brought back that woman from Ming Qi. I told him countless times to stay away from that woman. Not only did he not listen, but he even married that woman and brought her back.”

“Your Majesty, don’t you like Shen Miao?” Empress Xiande’s voice was gentle.

“Those who are not of our clan will not be loyal,” Emperor Yong Le said.

If she was not from the Daliang Dynasty, she would naturally not be loyal to the Daliang Dynasty.

“You don’t like Shen Miao, but Jingxing does.” Empress Xiande said, “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have married Shen Miao back to Long Ye from so far away. He wouldn’t have given 99 betrothal gifts, nor would he have spread good words for Shen Miao among the people.” After a pause, she continued, “And he wouldn’t have disobeyed you time and time again.:

“I think he’s married to an enchantress!” Emperor Yong Le said in a low voice, but there was suppressed anger in his voice.

“Maybe Shen Miao is really something.” Empress Xiande comforted him. “Jingxing always has his own ideas. Your Majesty has chosen so many beauties for him, but he doesn’t like any of them. Now that he’s willing to do this for Shen Miao, there must be a reason. Your Majesty, don’t you want to trust Jingxing this time?”

“It’s not that I don’t trust him, but I don’t trust Shen Miao!” Emperor Yong Le said.

“But Your Majesty has no choice, right?”

Emperor Yong Le looked at her unhappily. “Empress, are you saying that I’m incapable?”

“Of course not.” Empress Xiande smiled. “You have always been unable to harden your heart towards Jingxing. That’s why Jingxing is so unbridled. He knows that you won’t really punish him.”
