The Empress smiled as she let Luo Xue Yan seat but waved Shen Miao over, indicating for Shen Miao to come forward
Shen Miao went up to the front and the Empress look up and down to size her up She s Su, “What a tidy and complete person”
Luo Xue Yan was sorab Shen Miao and step out of this Palace doors It was just that as an official, there are too many considerations She was not clear what the E but as a mother she had an intuition, especially towards people who attempt to use one’s children
“How old this year?” The Empress asked
“Replying to Your Ladyshi+p’s words, this official’s daughter is sixteen” Shen Miao answered
The E is in the Palace, one would always hear that General Shen’s daughter had both looks and talents Previously one had saw in the Palace banquet before and felt extre that these days are filled with leisure, one called Shen Furen to bring Young Lady Shen to the Palace to take a look” She sighed, “Sixteen and look so intelligent One do not knohich fa Lady Shen”
Luo Xue Yan’s heart thu by her side clenched Shen Miao’s heart jumped but she had understoodthem into the Palace
Consort Dong Su also smiled, “Isn’t it so? So beautiful in appearance and well behaved One is unable to find a single arrogance all over It is indeed rare to see such a young lady”
“Shen Furen, does Young Lady Shen have a e match?” The Empress asked with a smile
Luo Xue Yan’s heart was up in knots but she quickly replied, “One not afraid of Your Ladyshi+p’s laughing Lately one is looking at suitable young hter” If the Imperial family had this intention then one fear that one had already inquired about Shen Miao’selse it would be a cri the Imperial family
“So it is like this” The E theLady Shen?”
“No” Luo Xue Yan did not even think before opening her otten unkind, she then explained, “One’s daughter is still young and this official cannot bear to marry her off and still want her to stay a few more years”
When the Empress heard of it, she sht It is always said that daughters cannot be retained as one would beco Lady ShenLady Shen will bla Lady Shen?”
Shen Miao took a look at the Ehter also wish to accoive any face to the Empress at all
The E She stared at Shen Miao as she did not know if Shen Miao had no brains thus she dared to be so arrogant or did she slap her face on purpose Seeing such a fehter-in-law, in a short moment, the Empress’s heart was not happy at all
It was Consort Dong Su who saw that the atid that she ss as hter that one is so envious But…” Her topic of conversation changed, “A female must be married Moreover even if one s cannot be deep anymore”
These words were said to help ss over but unfortunately Luo Xue Yan and Shen Miao did not carry on Consort Dong Su’s conversation
Consort Dong Su was soasted in her heart Previously when Shen Miao was obsessed with Fu Xiu Yi, Consort Dong Su thought that Shen Miao was an idiotic fe a look at her, she felt that this was not true She felt that Shen Miao had soht of matters but who knew that today’s visit, she was really birthed by Luo Xue Yan Both hter were the same, did not take soft or hard approaches
The Empress did not seem to be accustomed to be close with another, especially when the other’s attitude was not at all warm However today she only wanted to wear it in, so that the Shen family could make preparations Actually the Empress did not care what the Shen fauts were or how ainst the I one’s arhs Under the Imperial power, everyone would bon
After chatting some more sentences of not warm nor cold words, she let Luo Xue Yan and Shen Miao return back
On the way back, Luo Xue Yan did not say a single word at all Shen Miao was also thinking about herZhe and Gu Yu as they thought that so happened
Upon returning to the Shenhad also just returned from the ministry and asked them why did the Empress suuely before pulling Shen Xin back to the room
As soon as they entered the room, Luo Xue Yan told Shen Xin about what the Empress said to her in the Palace today At the end of it she asked, “I guessed that Ee for Jiao Jiao What can be done now?”
Shen Xin’s entire face sunk down, “Bestow rounds do they bestow rew up so on what basis does others have the power to e?”
“I
e?”
“I guess the Empress wants to let Jiao Jiao marry the Crown Prince” Luo Xue Yan said “Today there are both hidden and outright repeat ood The Crown Prince already have a Crown Prince Consort so if Jiao Jiao marries over, at the most she would be the Secondary Consort A Secondary Consort is only a concubine with a little higher status I a to let Jiao Jiao marry over and still have to serve tea to another fe about this, my heart started to be anxious Moreover, so what if the Crown Prince’s position and character is good? I do not dare to pass Jiao Jiao over to him with his health”
“No matter which Prince it is, Jiao Jiao cannot marry to them” There was an unexplainable foul air in Shen Xin’s chest that he si the cup shake a little
“You are afraid that when Jiao Jiao marries over, our entire Shen faht for the throne?” Luo Xue Yan said, “Correct, with the current situation, these people are like the wine-lover’s heart which was not on the cup Once one is related with the Imperial family, the Shen family would not be able to run away in the future”
“It is not because of this reason” Shen Xin gave a long sigh, “The sons of the Iroups of concubine and consorts If Jiao Jiao married in, she will not be happy So what if the Crown Prince becomes the Emperor in the future, so what if he is healthy, there is three palaces, six courtyards and twelve consorts There isn’t enough rain for everywhere I do not want Jiao Jiao to live that kind of life Moreover, just like you say, they are not truly sincere inJiao Jiao My son-in-law does not need to be a Prince or Pri embroidered brocade hat and hts and efforts If one cannot do that, then even the Emperor of Heavens would not do”
