892 Aristocratic Family (3)
Xie Jingxing praised, “That’s right. Consort Jing is arrogant and willful, and the Lu family is impudent. My brother wants to suppress them, but he has to do it slowly.”
“Can’t we keep them in check?” Shen Miao asked.
Xie Jingxing shook his head. “The Lu family served the late emperor. Most of the people left behind by the late emperor have been cleaned up by my brother. Apart from the two families, the Lu family, which is a military family, and the Ye family, which is an official family. The two families have a deep foundation. They have many henchmen. If we want to uproot them, we will suffer a backlash. My brother can’t act rashly. They know this very well, so they don’t have any scruples.’
Shen Miao frowned. Xie Jingxing and Emperor Yong Le were biological brothers, and the late emperor was their father. Why did Xie Jingxing call him “the late emperor” instead of “Father”? Moreover, as Xie Jingxing said, the Lu and Ye families were both the late emperor’s people. Emperor Yong Le was the rightful successor to the throne, so these elders should do their best to assist him. Why did it seem like the Lu and Ye families were ambitious, and Emperor Yong Le wanted to eradicate them.
Could it be that the late emperor did not want to see Emperor Yong Le govern the country? Or did the Lu and Ye families have a change of heart after the late emperor died?
Shen Miao was sensitive enough to notice this.
Suddenly, she felt that it was a little ironic. In Ming Qi, the Shen family and the Xie family were loyal and honest. However, the royal family was paranoid and tried their best to wipe them out. When it came to the Daliang Dynasty, the situation was completely reversed. The officials were treacherous, but the royal family could only compromise and deal with them slowly.
“Which family is Her Majesty from?” Shen Miao asked.
“She’s from the Ke family.” Xie Jingxing said, “The Ke family is a family of historians.”
Shen Miao was stunned. “Historian families don’t have real power. The emperor is willing to marry a girl from a historian family and even made her the empress. It’s obvious that he loves the empress very much.”
Xie Jingxing did not comment.
“But…” She continued,” Since he has the empress in his heart, why did he allow Consort Jing to be disrespectful to her? Since Consort Jing dares to be disrespectful to the empress, it’s obvious that she’s permitted to do it.” If Emperor Yong Le doted on the empress, no matter how arrogant Consort Jing was, she would not dare to be disrespectful to the empress. However, since Consort Jing dared to argue with the empress without any manners, it was obvious that she knew that Emperor Yong Le would not blame her for this.
Since he married her not for power, why didn’t he protect her?
Xie Jingxing smiled faintly. “My brother is different from me.” He patted her head. “My sister-in-law is also different from you.”
Shen Miao waved his hand away and said, “So the fourth miss of the Lu family is in love with you?”
Xie Jingxing was stunned for a moment before smiling. “Why are you still jealous?”
“But there’s something strange.” Shen Miao continued, as if she was talking to herself, “If the Lu family wants to control the imperial court or show their ambition, they’ve already sent a daughter to the palace, and they’ve already achieved their goal. Why would they send another girl over?” Shen Miao looked at him. “Even if they want to send a girl over, why should they give her to you? You’re just Prince Rui, not the emperor. The daughter of the Lu family doesn’t have to control all the royal brothers, right?”
She was stunned when she looked up. Xie Jingxing looked at her deeply, his gaze unreadable. Before she could ask, Xie Jingxing had already pulled her forward. He wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his head in Shen Miao’s shoulder, half hugging her.
