( ) Queen Jingxian's life is probably quite legendary. From the most pampered prime minister daughter to queen, she experienced husband and wife separation, frame-up, and separation of mother and son. But in the end, a tooth for a tooth is an eye for an eye, and the clean and neat treatment of the Great Liang harem is extremely pleasing. She is the type of person who is more and more unwilling to rise up in the face of adversity. If she has any regrets, the first is that Xie Chi's poison is inexorable, and the second is that she has not been able to see Xie Yuan again.
The brothers Xie Chi and Xie Yuan are also more like Queen Xiao. When Empress Xiao was in Long Ye, she was a beauty that everyone sought after, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she was stunning. And Xie Chi and Xie Yuan not only inherited Queen Xiao's beauty, but also her methods. Because Xie Chi still has some shadows of Emperor Xiaowu in the royal family, for example, when playing with power, because he wants to balance the forces of all parties, he has to use the power of marriage, but Xie Yuan is different. He was far away in Ming Qi, and he was originally opposed to the Ming Qi royal family. He did not have the slightest trace of Xie Yilong, and he did exactly what Queen Xiao had hoped for him at the beginning. Although he was not a good person, he was definitely not a despicable person.
Shen Miao did not expect Xie Jing Xing's life experience to be so tortuous and bizarre, she could not help but admire Empress Jingxian's life while sighing. Empress Jingxian is so similar to her previous life, but in the end she can become the winner of this country. However, Shen Miao asked herself that she could not be like Empress Xiao, she had the determination of a strong man to break his wrist and could endure the pain of being separated from flesh and blood.
Seeing her complicated eyes, Xie Jing Xing smiled indifferently and said, "Don't have pity on me, I have never seen her, so naturally I have no attachment to her."
He is a young man who grew up alone in the storm. He was born with the pursuit of his biological father, and he has never met his biological mother. Instead, he has created a more open-minded state of mind than ordinary people. Just smile.
But I don't care much about people's feelings, because I didn't expect much from people from the beginning.
Shen Miao was silent for a while and said, "I will accompany you to the end."
Xie Jing Xing's eyes moved slightly, and then he raised his lips and said with a smile, "Since you sympathize with me, why don't you compensate me?"
His smirk instantly swept away the sentimental atmosphere just now. Shen Miao glared at him and suddenly remembered something and said, "But in this case, the emperor's illness..." She did not continue.
Since it was asserted by the Gao family that Xie Chi would not live to be thirty-five years old, now Emperor Yongle... how many years will he live
“Brother Huang has passed his thirty-sixth birthday this year.” Xie Jing Xing said, “It can be seen that sometimes the assertions are not accurate. However,” he frowned, “Brother Huang’s health is getting worse and worse. ."
“Do the Lu family and Ye family know about this?” Shen Miao asked.
"I heard that after the death of Emperor Xiaowu, my mother had killed all the insiders in the palace. Now the people in the world who know about the condition of the emperor's brother, except for the head of the Gao family, you and me and the emperor's sister-in-law, should not be here. dead."
Shen Miao's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Empress Jingxian's methods were very aggressive, but it also resolved many worries.
“Then the Queen Mother knew about his condition before marrying the emperor, or after marrying the emperor…” Shen Miao asked.
Xie Jing Xing glanced at her with a half-smile but not a smile: "What do you want to ask?"
Shen Miao thought, if Empress Xian De had long known that Emperor Yong Le would not live to be thirty-five years old, would she still marry Emperor Yong Le? After all, being a widow at a young age is not an easy task. But if you only find out after you marry, wouldn't you be deceived and live your whole life
“If it were you, how would you choose?” Xie Jing Xing asked.
Shen Miao said, "When I married you, I didn't like it enough that I was willing to be a widow for you." After saying this, there was an annoyed look, thinking that this was not cursing Xie Jing Xing.
But Xie Jing Xing was very happy when he heard the words, he pulled her over and put Shen Miao's head in his arms and said with a smile, "Oh? Does it mean that he likes me to the point of being a widow now?" Miao replied, and said thoughtfully: "So, when you married me, you also liked me very much."
“Who is in love with you.” Shen Miao was breathless as he was held in her arms and spoke in a rage. But he heard Xie Jing Xing's leisurely voice resounding from his head: "If you like me, just say it, I have always loved Xiangxiu and cherish jade, and I would never bear to let you be a widow at a young age."
Shen Miao did not get angry but laughed and sneered back: "Is it right to be a living widow? Don't worry, now there are not many women in this world who are obediently a living widow. There are many right and wrongs in front of widows, and there are many small taverns in Long Ye." She Now that Xie Jing Xing was taking him away, he was no longer holding the air as before, and occasionally he was able to make Xie Jing Xing half to death.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Xie Jing Xing made a move, stared at her carefully, and said softly, "Want to find a servant?" His tone was gentle, but Shen Miao felt an inexplicable chill on the back of her neck and she had not waited. When she spoke, Xie Jing Xing suddenly picked her up and stood up, strode towards the bed, making Shen Miao scream in fright, but Xie Jing Xing said with an old spirit, "You remind me to 'work hard' , I don't dare to be lazy for my husband."
Tie Yi, who was guarding outside, was suddenly flushed by the shy old face of the husband and wife. He didn't leave or stay, and his black face was flushed, but it was very exciting.
The husband and wife were panting for a while, but they finally stopped. Shen Miao leaned on Xie Jing Xing's arm and pushed him and asked, "You haven't answered my words before, does the Empress know or not?"
“A smart woman like Huangsao, if she didn’t know that she was tricked into marrying in, it would be a big problem.” Xie Jing Xing sighed, “When the queen mother was picking a wife for the emperor, she once called the emperor’s wife into the palace and said it. Don't think about these words. My mother hates people who take advantage of people's sincerity the most in her life. Even if they want to balance the power, they will be handed over to the other party. "
Shen Miao said, "If you know and marry in, the Empress really likes the Emperor."
Xie Jing Xing did not speak.
Jing Xing did not speak.
Empress Xian De's maiden family is a family of literature and history. When it comes to real power, many aristocratic families can't compare, but in the end Empress Dowager Jingxian chose Empress Xian De as his wife for Emperor Yongle because Empress Xian De's maiden family was the Changshi Mansion. Absolutely loyal. And Empress Xian De, just like her empress name, is gentle, honest, intelligent and generous. Empress Dowager Jingxian is different from Emperor Xiaowu. Emperor Yongle can lift other concubines to balance his power, but he has only one wife, and this one is someone who will be with him for a lifetime. Character is more important. She can share happiness and wealth with others. She is a real lady, and she can stand up to the storm and splendid.
Empress Xian De's family was a loyal and honest person. As for whether Empress Xian De had any affection for Emperor Yong Le, this is unknown. After all, it is a luxury to talk about the truth in the royal family. However, Empress Xian De had always been calm about the fact that Emperor Yong Le would not live to be thirty-five years old.
Shen Miao said, "If it is just for power, she should plan for herself."
Xie Jing Xing smiled, "The Queen's Wife is very smart and not greedy."
Not being greedy is the best. The root cause of many tragedies is just a word of greed. Covetous for power, covetousness and wealth, or covetousness for affection.
Shen Miao thought for a moment and said, "Then now that Concubine Jing is pregnant, how are you going to deal with the Lu family?"
Xie Jing Xing played with Shen Miao's long hair and said casually, "What does Lu Jing's pregnancy have to do with us? Water can carry a boat or it can capsize, the Lu family thought that they could rest easy with the dragon seed, but in fact they thought it was wrong. With the dragon seed The emperor, some opponents will naturally turn their backs, how many soldiers of the Lu family are sloppy? Can they favor the Lu family, or they can favor the royal family."
Shen Miao looked at him: "It can't be just this, right?"
Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows, "What do you think?"
“After preparing for so long, it is clear that Concubine Jing’s pregnancy was an accident and you did not expect this at the beginning.” Shen Miao said, “If Concubine Jing is not pregnant, how are you going to deal with the Lu family?”
“Simple.” Xie Jing Xing said, “Since he ascended the throne, the emperor has been planning to deal with the Lu Ye family. He has been searching for evidence of the Lu family’s self-respect for supporting soldiers for so many years. Now that the collection is almost done, it is time to reveal it. At that time, the mouth of the world will be able to be sealed, which is one of them. The other is,” Xie Jingxing said, “Although the Lu family soldiers in Great Liang are powerful, it is not that there are no other generals, and those generals have almost all become emperors in private. Brother's people, and Mo Yujun have been accumulating strength. Things are much simpler now, show evidence, or Lu family pleads guilty, Lu Zhengchun is arrogant, he will definitely not confess his guilt, and he will turn against the royal family, which happens to be wiped out. ."
When Shen Miao heard him say this, she thought that Xie Jing Xing and Emperor Yong Le were worthy of being two brothers, the way they dealt with people was really not roundabout and tactful at all, very simple and rude, but also direct and effective. Perhaps this also inherited some of the characteristics of Queen Xiao
She said: "If this is the case, why do you need to prepare for so many years, you can compete at the beginning." If you start a blog early, you will have a lot of time left.
Xie Jing Xing approached her ear and said, “Little girl, you must know that the men of our Xie family don’t like to be dragged around, and we don’t like to be evenly matched. If you want to do it, you have to uproot it. The foundation of the Lu family is too deep. The harder it is to clean up, now the time is ripe to pull it up cleanly, isn't it great?"
Shen Miao frowned and heard Xie Jing Xing say, "I know that you like Bo in your bones, you dared to plot against Prince Yu when you were weak, but it is too dangerous and self-harm may be too high, I don't like it." He said: "A victory that sacrifices too much is also a defeat."
Shen Miao had to admit that what Xie Jing Xing said was very reasonable. At first, she dared to confront Prince Yu and even Fu Xiuyi, but it was because she was fighting alone, hitting jade objects with stones. The jade objects were the ones that were hurt the most. Later, as the Shen family gradually got involved, she had to take care of too much. , you can't let go of your hands and feet as before.
And Xie Jing Xing was even more so this time, if the competition was evenly matched, the longer it dragged on, the people in Great Liang would suffer. If you have enough strength as you are now, you can easily wipe out the Lu family in one go, and you can reduce the sacrifice to a minimum.
“However, the Lu family is like this, what should the Ye family do?” Shen Miao still had questions and hesitated to speak, but finally she was hesitant to speak.
"Before the imperial brother planned to win over the Ye family, anyway, there are no children in the Ye family, there is only a bad young master who can't make waves." Xie Jingxing said, "But since you told me about your 'dream', sister and brother Ye Mei are Enemy. How can the enemy win over, it is self-destruction." He said: "Don't worry, I will avenge your revenge for you."
Shen Miao was silent for a long time before she said softly, "Thank you." To make the other party change a plan that had been planned for a long time, it was not just an easy talk. Everything related to this plan has to be re-planned, not to mention how troublesome it is, the most feared thing about planning this thing is to give birth to variables, but Xie Jing Xing is willing to bear all the possible future results for her.
How lucky I am to meet such a person in my life.
Seeing that her expression was different, Xie Jing Xing hooked Shen Miao's chin and made her raise her head, looked at it carefully, and said "tsk", "Why are you moved to look like this? Why don't you repay me with your body?"
Shen Miao pushed him and scolded, "What nonsense. How are you going to deal with the Ye family?"
Xie Jing Xing thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult, since the Ye family can't be from our royal family, naturally they are in the same group with the Lu family. Find out the evidence of the private contacts between the Lu family and the Ye family, something happened to the Lu family, the Ye family has to deal with it. You are also unlucky. You are not very smart, how can you not even frame it now?"
Shen Miao looked at him dumbfounded, but Xie Jing Xing was able to say the accusation of framing others in a serious and upright manner, and those who didn't know thought he had done something great. Moreover, it is not so simple to frame a prime minister of a country.
"The Ye family is actually easier to deal with than the Lu family. The Ye family is nothing more than complicated with the court's Chinese officials, but once the Lu family is unlucky and the Ye family is implicated, as long as those officials are not fools, they will clear their relationship with the Ye family. For so many years, filial piety The strength of the two confidants left behind by Emperor Wu is actually not as good as it used to be."
Shen Miao thought for a while and said, "It's not that their strength has been worn down, it's that your strength has grown to the point where you don't need to be restrained by them."
The cub finally grew into the king of beasts, so the clowns jumping on the beams in the mountains and forests should be cleaned up one by one now.
Xie Jing Xing looked at her and teased, "Respect me like this?"
Shen Miao said with an expressionless face, "It can be revered and revered."
“Madam is so supportive, then Madam must be served well.” Xie Jing Xing said solemnly, turning over and pressing Shen Miao under him.
Shen Miao: “…”
…
Ye Mansion.
Ye Mei and Ye Ke were talking in the room.
Ye Maocai is a self-proclaimed scholar, and the furnishings in the room are naturally full of elegance, often calligraphy and painting orchids, but a closer look shows that the paintings and calligraphy are famous treasures, and the orchids are also high-quality flowers, even the paperweight on the table is also valuable. It can be seen that the Ye family is rich, and the scholars are real, but the 'poor' scholars are not necessarily real.
Delicate desserts are placed on the table.
Ye Mei was wearing a silk rust lotus inlaid crystal bright yellow shirt with a long skirt. The material and workmanship of this dress were top-notch. She was born to stand out in her original appearance. To be inferior to three points. A natural style, very charming and charming.
Ye Ke was sitting opposite her, his clothes were as simple as before, but the fabric was on a higher level. Obviously, in the Ye family, their siblings had a pretty good life.
"Sister, what do you mean by what you said before?" Ye Ke asked with a frown.
Ye Mei took a sip of the tea on the table, and said lightly: "Mrs. Ye was looking for a daughter before, and she insisted that I was her daughter. This is too confusing, and I don't know if it's true or not. But it's for us. A good place to go. After the death of your parents, the shop can no longer take care of it. Besides, it is better to be a daughter of an official family than the daughter of a businessman. The same is true for you. With Prime Minister Ye as a father, your career will always be better. Go well."
Ye Ke smiled bitterly: "I naturally know the truth, but doesn't Ye Maocai simply don't believe in you and me?"
Ye Mei and Ye Ke didn't believe it before if they said that there is no such thing as a pie in the sky. But since the people who beat the Ye family's relatives came to the door, the two brothers and sisters had to believe that there is such a good thing in this world. It was heard that the Ye family was provoked by a traitor when Mrs. Ye gave birth more than ten years ago, causing her daughter to live abroad. Finally, after looking for relatives, he found Ye Mei's head. Is this true? Ye Mei thought that it must not be true.
Because she and Ye Ke were siblings born together.
But people always have paranoia. For example, Mrs. Ye, who looks very normal, insists that Ye Mei is her daughter. Go to Ye Mansion.
Brother Ye Mei was vigilant, and Ye Maocai also came to see the two of them later. Ye Maocai is much more sober than Mrs. Ye, and straight to the point, she said that the sisters and brothers Ye Mei are not Mrs. Ye's children, but because of Mrs. Ye's insistence, Ye Maocai didn't want to stop him. The identities of the two children of the Ye family.
Who is Ye Mei, she is extremely shrewd, and she would not dare to jump into the fire without knowing the pros and cons. She tried every means to inquire about the situation of the Ye family, and learned about the delicate position between the Ye family and the royal family. In addition, the Ye family has only one bad behavior. Ye Maocai naturally needs a pair of "children" to stop the mouths of the world.
Benefiting from each other, each taking what he needs, a lame person can't make a big storm, so isn't this Ye Mansion's wealth finally in Ye Ke's hands? And with the name of the Ye family, Ye Mei wanted to marry into the high door in the future, which is also a matter of course. It was Ye Maocai who had other ideas, and the two of them were not fools, so they would naturally find ways to get what they wanted.
So Ye Mei sister and brother entered the Ye mansion and became the young lady and young master of the Ye family. Madam Ye trusted them, and Ye Maocai was wary of them, which was no different to sister Ye Mei. The Ye family is just a springboard and a backer, which can help them go faster on the road in the future.
Ye Mei said: "It doesn't matter whether you believe in your identity or not. You and I both came out of the merchant, so just treat him as a businessman. It's just that this business seems to be a loss now, but I didn't expect it. It will be like this now.”
"Is that so?" Ye Ke was puzzled: "Sister, what you said is more clear."
Ye Mei said: "Before, I thought that the Ye family was strong in Long Ye, so I didn't have to worry about anything. Although the relationship with the royal family is delicate, we can still balance one or two. But recently, I feel that something is wrong. The Ye family is not as good as I thought. , seems to have reached a precarious point, of course you can live with peace of mind if you take a step forward, but if one is bad, it is also an abyss, and if you lose your wife, you will lose your army."
Ye Ke's expression turned a little ugly when he heard the words. He said, "You mean, the current situation of the Ye family is very dangerous?"
"I don't know if it's dangerous or not," Ye Mei sneered: "Ye Maocai, the old fox, hides it tightly and refuses to let us know the situation of the Ye family. Although Mrs. Ye trusts me, she trusts Ye Maocai more, and wants to take her from her. It is more difficult to come out of my mouth than to ascend to the sky. But the more it is like this, the more uneasy my intuition is, and I always feel that this Ye Mansion is very bad."
"Maybe it's because you think too much." Ye Ke thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "After all, the Ye family is the prime minister of Great Liang, how could it have reached the stage you said. As for the Ye family to be wary of us, it's probably The time is too short. After all, we are all in the same boat now, otherwise when you proposed to teach people to assassinate Princess Rui, their Ye family would not agree to that. It’s just a pity that Princess Rui has a big fate, and she was killed. The scholar saved each other and escaped the catastrophe."
Ye Mei stared, and suddenly laughed again, saying, "She is really lucky, and she is really lucky."
"But sister," Ye Ke looked at her, "Why did you let the Ye family kill Princess Rui? Was it really because you wanted to rule Prince Rui's mansion? I always felt that this decision was rushed and a little thoughtless. of."
Ye Mei paused, thought for a while, and then said: "If I said that the first time I saw her, I felt that I didn't want her to live in this world, do you believe it?"
Ye Ke was stunned, but Ye Mei fell into her own thoughts.
When she first came to Long Ye with the Ye family, it happened that Xie Yuan came back from hunting in the imperial city. Ye Maocai gave her the antidote and asked her to pretend to reveal the bounty list unintentionally and help her. Naturally, the Ye family was able to come up with an antidote, but they were afraid that Prince Rui's injury could not get rid of them. If Ye Mei came to the rescue as the Ye family, it would inevitably make people suspicious of the Ye family.
Ye Maocai wanted to use Ye Mei to get on Prince Rui's mansion. Ye Meisheng's beauty, coupled with Xie Yuan's savior, the longer he stayed in Prince Rui's mansion, the more natural some things would happen.
Ye Mei met Prince Rui Xie Yuan at that time.
For men, Ye Mei can't be called love or not. She has ambitions and means. Men are her tools to achieve her goals. If there is a better and better one, just change it. For her, it is like a beautiful person who needs gorgeous clothes, precious jewelry, a wealthy mansion, and naturally a noble husband.
Xie Yuan is the best one she has seen since she grew up.
He was in a position of high power at a young age, and he still had a romantic and beautiful appearance. What's more, Ye Mei also learned from Ye Maocai's mouth that Xie Yuan was a very capable and powerful person. It's normal for her to want to take possession of such a good person, but Xie Yuan's indifference makes her want to conquer even more.
I heard that Xie Yuan had a princess, but Ye Mei had never seen her. Knowing that the woman was the daughter of a Ming Qi military commander, Ye Mei didn't think so. The daughter of a military commander was so vulgar, she had come all the way all by herself and had no support. Ye Mei didn't even think that the other party had the qualifications to be her opponent.
Until the moment she saw Shen Miao.
Shen Miao’s clothes were still a little muddy, her hair was not neat and her face was in the dust, but she was standing in front of Ye Mei with a dignified and majestic posture, like a domineering beast declaring her sovereignty. .
Obviously Ye Mei was the brightest and Shen Miao was embarrassed.
But at that moment, Ye Mei had an absurd feeling, as if she used all her strength and couldn't win the slightest bit from the woman in front of her.
In the days that followed, Shen Miao was quite indifferent to her, and occasionally Ye Mei could feel a touch of disgust and hatred.
But since ancient times, women's feelings were relative, not only Shen Miao felt uncomfortable with her, Ye Mei was also very uncomfortable with Shen Miao.
It was heard that Shen Miao was favored by her parents, cared by her elder brother, friends and sisters, and also favored by Xie Yuan. Although it was a Cold War, bystanders knew best, if it was ruthless and unloving, where would the Cold War be used? It is clear that love is deep in the bones, and every move will involve his emotions.
The more the comparison, the more unwilling Ye Mei felt. Why should all the good things in this world be enjoyed by Shen Miao alone? She is solitary and doesn't know how to act like a spoiled child, so why is she favored by Xie Yuan
The most unwilling thing is that people who are not as good as themselves have a better life. Ye Mei is jealous and disgusted, she loves to snatch other people's things and turn those things into her own. But Shen Miao's things seemed to be very difficult to grab.
then what should we do? Let Shen Miao disappear.
So Ye Mei told Ye Maocai that only Shen Miao was dead and Xie Yuan's position as the princess was vacant, and she was confident that she could control Xie Yuan's heart.
Rather than saying that Ye Mei wanted to snatch Xie Yuan, it would be better to say that Ye Mei just could not see that Shen Miao was better than her and Ye Mei was not willing to lose to Shen Miao.
Ye Maocai originally wanted Ye Mei to climb Prince Rui's mansion, but he finally agreed.
But who would have thought that Shen Miao did not die and that there were people willing to protect Shen Miao at all costs. And because of the Ye family's rash move, Xie Yuan seemed to be suspicious, staring at the Ye family very close, and Ye Maocai was angry at Ye Mei because of this.
Ye Mei has never failed in what he wanted in his life. She used all kinds of people who could be used, and she has been living smoothly, and she is also handy in grabbing other people's things. Whether it is a thing, a person, or a human heart.
But it was here that Shen Miao hit a wall.
She could not take Shen Miao's man, nor Shen Miao's life, nor Shen Miao's good luck.
