729 Anger (2)
The empress put down Shen Miao’s hand and said, “I asked to come today because I have something to talk to you about.” She sighed and said, “That day, I mentioned to your mother that you’re just the right age and I’d like to matchmake you. Naturally, I won’t force you. I will respect your opinion.”
Shen Miao lowered her head and did not speak.
The empress patted her hand. “Do you think my life is good and glamorous?”
Shen Miao sneered in her heart, but she replied with a smile, “Your Highness, your life is naturally very glamorous.”
“After marrying into the royal family, you will be protected and can live a good and glamorous life.”
It was clear now what the empress was driving at. The corners of Shen Miao’s lips curled up slightly, but her words were humble and she sounded terrified. She suddenly knelt on the ground and said, “I’m already doing very well now. I don’t dare to imagine living a better life. Your Highness, please spare my life!”
The empress was stunned. She did not expect Shen Miao to have such a reaction. There were many people in the world who wanted to climb up the social ladder to be part of the royal family. The empress knew that all women were vain. Shen Miao was young and gullible, so she intentionally tried to tempt her. As long as Shen Miao said she wanted to live a glamorous life, the empress could say to the outside world that it was Shen Miao who wanted to marry the crown prince.
Unexpectedly, Shen Miao had this reaction. She was not tempted or hesitant. Instead, she was afraid.
The empress thought to herself, Is being a consort that scary? Or is the daughter of the Shen family actually as timid as a mouse? She doesn’t understand my hint at all and thinks that she is some kind of trouble.
How useless.
For the rest of the time, no matter what the empress said, Shen Miao still looked humble and terrified. It was precisely because of this that her mouth was very tight, and she did not say a word the empress wanted her to say. In the end, the empress was a little irritated and asked Shen Miao to go back.
When the empress asked Shen Miao to leave, her attitude was unfriendly. Even the palace maids of the Palace of Earthly Tranquility did not treat Shen Miao nicely. They handed Shen Miao to a young eunuch who was passing by outside and asked him to send Shen Miao out of the palace.
The young eunuch naturally agreed.
The young eunuch brought Shen Miao out of the palace. After taking a few turns, they were deeper into the palace. When they passed by a garden and were almost reaching an abandoned garden, Shen Miao stopped and said, “This is not the way out of the palace. Where are you taking me?” Her hand quietly pressed on the bracelet on her wrist in her sleeve. No one was more familiar with Ming Qi’s palace than her.
The young eunuch was stunned for a moment before saying in a low voice, “Mr. Pei wants to see you.”
Pei Lang? Shen Miao frowned slightly.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Miao followed the young eunuch. It had been a long time since Pei Lang sent a letter to her. Shen Miao thought that Pei Lang had been discovered working for her by Fu Xiuyi. However, after sending Mo Qing over to investigate, she found out that Pei Lang was still in Prince Ding’s mansion. He seemed to be safe and sound. If Fu Xiuyi suspected Pei Lang, he would definitely not let Pei Lang off so easily.
