Chapter 890 - 890 Aristocratic Family (1)

890 Aristocratic Family (1)
Consort Jing had always been domineering in the palace. Although she was arrogant and brainless, no one dared to provoke her. Even Empress Xiande couldn’t be bothered with her. Today, no one expected that she would be taught a lesson by Shen Miao, or rather, Prince Rui.
No matter how sharp-tongued Shen Miao was, Consort Jing still had the ability to punish her. However, Prince Rui was not someone she could offend.
When Prince Rui just arrived at Long Ye two years ago, the officials in the imperial court objected openly and secretly. Everyone looked at his mischievous and arrogant attitude and thought that he was just a devil incarnate. Unexpectedly, in just two years, he made those officials avoid him like a mouse seeing a cat. Consort Jing’s father had also warned her not to be enemies with Prince Rui.
No matter how arrogant Consort Jing was, she did not dare to go against Prince Rui. Even Emperor Yong Le couldn’t do anything to him, let alone a consort like her.
She forced a smile. “Prince Rui, you’re busy. How can you have the time to listen to my fourth sister play a song?” Prince Rui, please don’t mind what I said.”
“I don’t have time to mind.” Xie Jingxing smiled and put his arm around Shen Miao’s shoulder. “My wife doesn’t have time either. If Consort Jing is free, it’s better for you to help my brother relieve his burden.”
Consort Jing bit her lip and looked at Emperor Yong Le awkwardly.
Emperor Yong Le’s expression darkened. No matter what, he wouldn’t be happy to see Xie Jingxing humiliating his consort time and time again. Perhaps in the past, he could turn a blind eye to it, but now, he did not want Xie Jingxing to stand up for Shen Miao. He asked Shen Miao coldly, “Princess Consort Rui, is this what you think too?”
Shen Miao lowered her head docilely and said, “I’m with my husband.”
Empress Xiande looked at Shen Miao in surprise, as if she did not expect Shen Miao to be so unyielding when she was facing Emperor Yong Le. Then, she suddenly thought of something and shook her head with a smile.
When Emperor Yong Le heard this, he stared at Shen Miao in silence for a long time. His gaze was fierce. However, Shen Miao lowered her head to avoid his gaze.
Xie Jingxing grabbed Shen Miao and said, “Brother, if you have nothing else to say, I’ll take my leave first.” He said, “We’re newlyweds. We have many things to do.”
Shen Miao was speechless.
Emperor Yong Le said, “Remember what I told you!”
Xie Jingxing said with a faint smile, “Ok.”
However, that “ok” didn’t sound like he took Emperor Yong Le’s words to heart at all.
After Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing left, Emperor Yong Le seemed to be extremely unhappy. Turning around, he ignored Empress Xiande and Consort Jing and left. Empress Xiande and Consort Jing knew that Emperor Yong Le was angry and did not follow him.
Consort Jing looked at Empress Xiande and said, “Sister, you and Princess Consort Rui are quite close. Just now, you kept speaking up for her. Those who don’t know better would think that the two of you already knew each other from a long time ago.”
“Princess Consort Rui is knowledgeable, smart, and virtuous. She’s naturally likable,” Empress Xiande said with a smile.
“But Sister, don’t forget that she’s from Ming Qi!” Consort Jing said fiercely, “Who knows what she’s up to? Sister, if you help her, you might get yourself in trouble in the future.”
“Since she’s married to the Daliang Dynasty, she’s one of us. Are you suspecting that Prince Rui is up to something too? Princess Consort Rui and Prince Rui are husband and wife.”
