Chapter 216: Being Forthco (Part 1)
As the sun headed west, Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing alking back to the residence
Great Liang wasQi thus it was a coht for husband and wife to be seen in the streetsHowever because Xie Jing Xing was very fa Ye knew of hi by astonished eyes wherever he went
In the previous period, it was ruood terms and their relationshi+p was as cold as iceHowever they were currently travelling together thus this rumour was brokenIf both of them were like the rumours, unfamiliar with one another, hoould they travel so intimately? One did not knohich fa nonsense
Ever since Shen Miao ca aroundXie Jing Xing was very familiar with this place and both of theinally not one who favoured new things but it seeht so ht stuff in front while Tie Yi and Cong Yang followed behind payingXie Jing Xing felt that Shen Miao was so like this and looked suspiciously at her fro relaxed
It was like she had experience a dreaer and hatred of her past lifeNaturally ened but in this rebirth of a lifetieThose stars that one shi+mmered in the dark years made her feel that she was not only left with bad experience in her previous lifetimeAs for this lifetime, it was even more precious
The present her was more deterhtforwardly to her own feelings and could embrace her new life with enthusiasmThe current her and the previous her were two different persons
Her heart was relaxed and naturally she smiled from the start to the endShe was like a child who used a different perspective to look at things and even said to Xie Jing Xing, “Long Ye and Ding capital are really differentOne thinks that the different regions of Great Liang have its own uniquenessIf there is such a day where one could travel to the famous mountains and rivers to look at the different scenery, it would be great”
Xie Jing Xing smiled, “What is so difficult with it?”
“It is easier said than done” Shen Miao said, “Sometimes one admires those who live at the rivers and lakesThere are no worries and troubles and there are also no unscrupulous thingsThe experiences would be extrehtfully
Shen Miao said, “What are you looking at me for?”
His lips raised and he took Shen Miao’s hands as he s’s o”
Shen Miao sive to htly in a dazedThinking about the wish that Shen Miao spoke of when she woke up, a s smile suddenly appeared on his face as he said, “You kept on re me of that wish todayCould it be that because the two month period was over and you really want…”
Shen Miao turned around and left, “I did not think about anything”
Cong Yang and Tie Yi were following behindCong Yang looked embarrassed and Tie Yi’s dark face beca to see itIt was naturally a good thing when both ood relations but it was siuard the tower prison
When the radually rose, there werehad shopped around for an entire day and also felt tiredIt was rare that she was that excited thus Xie Jing Xing acco with an at Zhe and Gu Yu were relieved
Xie Jing Xing wanted to bathe so Shen Miao returned to her own rooht over the hot water and said, “Furen should bath firstThe little kitchens has already prepare the food and after a while it can be eatingItafter an entire day”
Shen Miao co water was very wary and felt like sleepingShe lay on the bed as Gu Yu wait by the side and said, “This servant had not seen Furen laughed like this for a long time”
Shen Miao recovered to her sensesShe actually laughed very often buttiic of even if one lose, one could not lose one’s position, even if one’s road is dark or no matter how unfavourable the situation was, one would first display a gentle sentle sEven if it did not confuse the eneusted
Since her rebirth, she was accustomed to it but that smile was consciously displayed and not from one’s ehart so how could it be the same as a smile from one’s heart?
Currently her eyes were bent, like it was filled with satisfaction and as war her beautiful face more attractive and one was unable to peel their eyes off
Jing Zhe noticed the red string around Shen Miao’s wristWhen Luo Tan gave the red strings to Shen Miao, Jing Zhe was not aware of it so now upon seeing it, she was curious, “Is Furen’s red string newly bought on the streets? It is indeed unique but is notto one’s clothes”
Gu Yu also saw it and ss? One copper coin for a stringIt is said that this is to seek for e is only worth a copper coin? This is just too cheap” She was than sos the hness see this string, one feared that he would not be happy as he will think that Furen had beco Zhe had a lively personality and now learned Xie Jing Xing’s dissatisfied expression, h out
Gu Yu scolded while shness someone you can joke about?”
Shen Miao waved her hands, “Later instruct people to place the food in Xie Jing Xing’s roo in separate roo Zhe was startled but she then shness” She could not help but be happy for Shen MiaoWhen Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing slept separately, these maids saw it but did not kno to persuadeThey had not thought that after suffering fros iuise
Shen Miao said, “This string is very spiritual”
“Oh?” Gu Yu looked strangely at Shen Miao as she did not knohy she suddenly said those words
Shen Miao however just looked at the string and sighed softlyIt is just that this time, her eyes were relaxed
This day was bound to come and her worries were not like previousThis time she was already fully preparedThis lifetime was different from the last lifetime, be it people or events so she would still be filled with expectations but she would not put all her future on one person
One’s growth and becoht by one’s side was equally powerfulIt was si and resolved feuds that one should resolve
She instructed Jing Zhe to bring a handkerchief over and said, “Helpwalked out in histime that the water was somewhat cooledWhen he was alone, there was no lazy smile on his face and on the contrary, there was some indifferent expression that one could not see clearly at nightHe was actually not a war without respect, there was a faint ridicule of the world
Just as he went out, he saw a few delicate dishes and snacks in the ’s brorinkled, “Tie Yi” He was not used to having a meal in the roomHe was one who liked cleanliness and would be very structured and orderly in privateThe bed chambers was a place to sleep and the hall was used to have aout for a few ti and Shen Miao ca and she wobbled as she carried itXie Jing Xing went forward to help her and placed it on the table before he asked, “What are you doing?”
Shen Miao said, “I have searched in your warehouse for a long time and found this earthen jarIt is(direct translation: Scent that can be smelt in ten provinces)Most likely that it is of so paused and opened the jarIndeed a rance of a hiff passedHe snise shi+ Zhou XiangTang Shu did not stop you?”
shi+ Zhou Xiang was a highly regarded wine and was priceless that even if one had money, it was difficult to procureThere was only three jars in the entire residence of Prince Rui and Shen Miao took one jar awayCoincidently this jar was about fifty years coldOne feared that Tang Shu would be so heartache that he was crying silently
Shen Miao s was suspicious, “Drank it before?”
Shen Miao did not continue speakingWhen she was an Empress, there was no wine that she did not drink in the Palace banquet beforeEven though one jar of shi+ Zhou Xiang was precious, but it was not to a level that she would view it in a different lightHowever she had been an Es that she did not care too much about these stuffsHowever in normal families and even official families, an official would not have an opportunity to have aone entire life
Shen Miao patted her head, “It see wine cups” Her eyes landed on the bowls that were used for rice and simply took two over and poured two full bowls out
Xie Jing Xing looked at her incredulously and questioned, “Shen Miao, are you an alcoholic?”
“I am here to accompany you to eat” Shen Miao said, “How can there be no ith dishes?”
Xie Jing Xing folded his arms and looked at her for a while and suddenly reot if you hadn’t mentioned itOn that day in Bi Xiao Lou, you drank a bowl of wine in front of so many people… Shen Jiao Jiao, in the future you have to pay attention to the norms of propriety”
When she drank wine, she was extre that in that moment, it made everyone unable to turn their eyes awayThe numerous eyes of all thoseXing was sulking badlyIf he did not care of his current status, one feared that he would have carried Shen Miao and left
He tempted to teach his little wife, “In the future, don’t drink outside and if there is a need to drink, I have to be presentEven if I am present, you cannot drink too much, especially in front of other… Shen Jiao Jiao, are you listening to me?”
Shen Miao put down the bowlShe just sed a bigand currently her throat was on fire, so much so that tears was about to be spilledThe entire mouthful went down her stomach and made it warm and refreshedShe praised, “It is indeed shi+ Zhou Xiang”
Xie Jing Xing said, “Are you disregarding ?” She then picked the wine bowl up to drink
Xie Jing Xing said, “HeyAre you going to be a drunkard atis not supposed to be drunk like how you are doing itYou are being like a coing on Peonies”
Shen Miao squinted at hi on Peonies”
Xie Jing Xing, “…”
He had always felt that Shen Miao was a completely different person when she drank, like she hen the Shen fao, before he headed to Northern JiangCould it be that there was another person living in Shen Miao and would only be unleashed when she drank? Xie Jing Xing was really puzzled as she was usually a cautious person but once she was drunk, she would be do things without any reason andincredulous
He had felt that the arrogance of the Shen fae would only be reflected on Shen Miao after she drank
Shen Miao handed a large bowl of wine to Xie Jing Xing and said, “You drink too”
Xie Jing Xing looked at her unfathomably but Shen Miao stubbornly reached her hand out so he could only sit down at the table and took the bowl of wine before slowly sipping it
Shen Miao stared at hi drank, it was not like her, a coing on Peonies, but drinking in sips, like a wine expertShe watched and held her bowl to drink it off
Xie Jing Xing only drank a fewthe bowl up and wiping herHe said, “You have finished drinking?”
Shen Miao coughed lightly twice, “I have so (Part 2)
Xie Jing Xing glanced at her before looking back at the bright amber wine in his bowl, “To need alcohol to boost up one’s courage to speak to me, is it that you have committed some errs behind my back?”
“Previously did you not ask me what e it with your secretsI will tell you”
Xie Jing Xing’s movements paused as he looked up at her
“Do you want to listen?” She asked hi put down the bowl of wine and said, “How is it that it sounds like you are giving e?”
“Then I will take it as you want to know and I will tell you” Shen Miao ignored his words and only cared about her words
“Don’t you feel strange ever since you knowand the actions taken against Prince Yu of First Rank? I see Xian pawnshop and about the Second and Third household of the Shen faet Prince Ding as it was odvious that one was still ad before and it was also toothat she spoke of were all the things that Xie Jing Xing had doubts with
Shen Miao said, “At the beginning, you ainst ate me secretly”
There was a so’s faceAfter all, like what Shen Miao said, he indeed instructed people to investigate Shen Miao’s background
“You definitely did not find anything and thought that there was soent person behind e was silentJi Yu Shu’s Feng Xian pawnshop could detect many unknown secrets of others but for Shen Miao, it was like a stone without an exitNo matter how they lift it, they were unable to find a place to start
“Even though you are unable to find out s that I have experience in those past yearsYou should also know that before hth year of Ming Qi, I fell into the water due and it was related to Prince DingAfter falling into the water, edFor exa but after that, I no longer showed any thoughts about Prince Ding”
There was a light annoyance that appeared in Xie Jing Xing’s eyesWith regards to theFu Xiu Yi, it really made him wonder as it could not understand itIf it was not so that the entire city are of, he would alht that it was Shen Miao that put up an actSpeaking of appearance, talent and status, even though Fu Xiu Yi was outstanding, it was not a level that there was it was so outstanding that there was no second in the worldShen Miao’s love could actually reach the point of obsessiveness and it made hi himself to Fu Xiu Yi, that hypocritical person, this was just too devaluing
“After that fall into the water, there were soement between me towards the Second and Third household of the Shen fa and Shen YueOne even seeainst Old Shen Furen” Shen Miao said, “Don’t you find it strange?”
Xie Jing Xing said, “There is always a time when people ake up”
Previously Shen Miao was confused and that was because of her young age, she was only confused for a period of ti the truth about certain row up overnightJust like him
Shen Miao shook his head, “That was because I have awaken too thoroughlyActually it is very siht Year of Ming Qi, I laid in bed and did not wake up for a long ti dreah of sorrow appeared in her eyes and expression, “That drea it myself”
“Could you believe in those kinds of dreams?” Shen Miao s’s eyebrows gradually raised and his gaze that was fixed on Shen Miao became sharp
“It is ru under a tree and drea till it landed on the soil, he had experience an entire life and suddenly woke up, realizing that it was only athat happened in the drealoryIt was just that it was so real that one was unable to differentiate that was the dream real or the current reality real”
“This drea than the story of Governor of a Southern NationI had dreamt of the future” She said
“I drea and the Shen faI dreamed of the future disputes in court, the turmoil of the Princes and at the end, Fu Xiu Yi was the final winnerHe ascended to the throne and I became the Empress and became the Mother of the nationIt was i’s eyebrow raised
“You will most likely think that this was a sweet dream as I was obsessed with Fu Xiu Yi soI also wished that it was a happy dreahtave birth to a son and daughter and they were the most sensible and adorable children in the worldAfterwards Great Liang’s power becan nations that were invading Ming Qi so Ming Qi borrowed troops froe and one stayed in Qin country for five years”
“That’s how I encounter HuangFu Hao and Ming An” Shen Miao said
Xie Jing Xing’s expression gradually became serious
“I did not like the Imperial family of Qin country as they always humiliate meThey invented a kind of archery and put a fruit on my head but always deliberate miss itAfterwards I secretly practiced archery but no ood one practice, on the second day, I will not shoot them”
“Five years quickly passed and I returned to Ming QiThere was oneQi, by the naave birth to a son, by the nareatly and doted on Fu ChenI was treated coldlyEven though I was the Empress, I was secretly sneered at”
“Fu Xiu Yi started to attack the Shen faled in politicsMy Eldest Brother’s future career was i Chu Chu’s innocence and was sent to prison forin a pondMy Mother’s illness beca and she finally succuriefMy Father became older by the day and when his military poas taken back, he drank every dayThe Second and Third household rose up step by step and beca with Mei Furen in the Inner Palace and no one spared the otherIt was not that I areedy for the position of the Empress but if I could not even keep this position, I would not be able to protect my children at all
“At the end, I lostThe Shen fa Nu for ’s position of the Crown Prince was abolished and he committed suicideWhen I was in the Cold Palace, I was bestowed a white silk and the eunuch strangled me personallyWhen I openedon the bed and had dreahtly and faintly of this shocking dreah the smile misty, it seemed to contain endless pain but the pain could not be spoken and thus it was si did not speak
She always referred to herself as ‘BenGong’ when she was drunk and Xie Jing Xing always laughed that how deep she scheeOccasionally he would wonder why she was an abolished EmpressSo actually it was like this…
Shen Miao said, “Do you believe ininstead asked, “Do you believe it?”
Shen Miao smiled, “If I do not believe it, one feared that what is standing in front of you today would be just a grave”
“After I woke up, I feared that everything in this drea to conventionOne would find sohtmareHowever when one seriously pursued it, the more one discovered that this was not only just a dreas that happened in the drea because the Su fa after due to the Emperor’s jealousyWhen the entire Su family was questioned and beheaded, only you went to collect the father and son bodiesWithout the lips, the teeth would feel the coldAfter the Su fa to protect myself, thus the reminder to the Su familyHowever I was discovered by you”
At that ti Lang’s words and repeatedly probedThe two of them confront each other hts
“Then in that drea stared at her and asked
Shen Miao said, “You are very good”
“The Xie faradually declined and afterwards the Marquis of Lin An died in the battlefieldYou represent your Father for battle and one heard that you are buried in a horse hide (aka gave one’s life on the battlefield) but afterQi with the identity of Prince Rui of First Rank” Shen Miao shtly, “And afterwards, took over the I frowned, “Just like this?”
“Just like this” Shen Miao nodded her head
“Like this” His broere raised, “I actually thought that in that dream of yours, there would be some involvement between you and me”
“Do you really treat it as a dreaibberish nonsense that I speak when drunk?” Shen Miao’s gaze slightly darkened as she continued, “But it is also good like thisI would rather that it was just a dreas that were spoken but I truly saw Jing Chu Chu, Cang Zai Qing and the restBefore that, I have never seen theht about it, there are many matters that were acco sentle and cos in the past have passed and I always doin that drea, the two children in that dreaers holding the wine bowl, “We will have children too”
Shen Miao took a deep breath and look at hi to say and you have to listen clearly”
“In that dreaht for an entire lifetime, the Consort Mother of the nen prince and at the end the female that controlled the court, was called Li MeiShe was a daughter of an official that Fu Xiu Yi encountered during an expedition to the East, that was char and knew another’s heartCurrently I have encountered her againAre you not curious that after you woke up, after the Imperial Hunt, I was cold towards you? It was because at that tiain”
“Now she is called Ye Mei”
“Do you understand what I a did not speak for a long ti had passed when he looked at Shen Miao, “She is the ene her to the bones but could not end the enemy personallyIn this lifetihter that the Ye fa, I can tolerate my hatred but there is one point that needs to be addressedYe Mei is not a kind hearted person as she would climb up the ladder by any means possible for the sake of powerShe will not do any unnecessary things and since the residence of Prince Rui has accepted her favour, one would becoainst her”
Xie Jing Xing picked up the wine bowl again and drank everything in itEven though he was s, his eyes were cold, “Is it Ye Mei? Fu Xiu Yi’s way of seeing fearI am different from him”
“Nosaid, “The enmity in the dream is still considered as en his back on you, one cannot forgive thatGive your ene for you” He then interrupted Shen Miao words, “Notthe enemy personally, you are my woman, your enmity is my enmityIn this world, there are innumerable enemies for both you and me so there is no need to separate them between yours and mindIf there is a day where you e for me, then it would be considered even”
Shen Miao frowned, “You have ene looked at her for a while and suddenly reached his hands out to stroke her head, “So adorable for believing everything one speaks of”
