The Rebirth of the Empress

Provocations

"Young Miss, Second Young Miss is here to see you."

Jing Zhe's face had some worries, "To come at such a time. Young Miss's health is not good and is not afraid to catch a cold.”

Gu Yu pulled Jing Zhe's arm but she also looked worried.

Shen Miao looked at him in her eyes and her heart sighed.

The four maids beside him were all personally selected and trained by Shen Xin and Shen Furen and were therefore extremely smart and loyal. What kind of situation the Shen family was in, what kind of hidden intentions the Second and Third Household was hiding, she was young and could not see but her servant could guess.

Before anything could be said, a young lady walked in from outside. This woman looked over fifteen or sixteen years old and wore a pale pink daisy patterned dress with a pleated skirt and her hair was combed into a pleasing bun. Her skin was bright and her eyebrows and eyes were very elegant. He had a thick vibe of an educated and dignified appearance and behaved politely. After looking at her, she sped up her steps to the bed and spoke anxiously, “ Fifth Sister, is your health better? After finding out that you have fallen into the water, I was worried for a long time but the people of Yu Jiao Courtyard said that you need a break and I dare not disturb. Hearing that you woke up today, I then dared to come. ”

Shen Miao looked at the young lady in front. It was Shen Yue from the Third Household of the Shen family.

There were three Di daughters from the Shen family. Shen Qing was casual and generous, Shen Yue was famous for his talent and only Shen Miao was as disposition as a block of wood and was less talented. Outsiders usually praised her as 'precious and reserved' but in reality knew that there was no point and she was a princess who could not be held in public.

In her past life, before Shen Miao got married, she had the best relationship with Shen Yue. Shen Yue had a gentle temperament and could bring out ideas for Shen Miao many times. It was just that at first Shen Miao was unable to see if her intentions were good or bad and blindly thanked this TangJie for her help and dedication.

For Shen Yue to come this time, it was most likely to be begging Shen Qing.

As expected, Shen Yue opened his mouth and said, “Fifth Sister, Eldest Brother made a mistake and mistake and since this matter got to this point, hope Fifth Brother can forgive him this time. Hearing Fifth Brother fever, Eldest Brother was very sorry. Since Fifth Brother's injury is better, why not save Eldest Brother this time around? He unintentionally let you humiliate yourself in front of His Highness Prince Ding.”

It was still fine if the sentence was not spoken but he had to mention Prince Ding in front of Shen Miao. Everyone knew that Prince Ding was Shen Miao's lover. Shen Miao had the temperament to accept the grievances made to her, but when it came to Prince Ding, she would definitely not take a step back. If Prince Ding was not mentioned, it was likely that Shen Miao would let this matter be resolved but this time Shen Yue was considering mentioning Prince Ding, if he did not provoke a dispute between him and Shen Qing, she said, what else could happen?

In the last life it was also the same, he had just woken up when Shen Yue quickly rushed over to 'please' for Shen Yue and this plea made Shen Miao uneasy. The one who usually agreed then accused Shen Qing of pushing her into the water in front of the Old Mistress because of her lover. But Shen Qing did not admit it and the people around did not see Shen Qing pushing Shen Miao. The Old Madam was always biased towards the Second and Third households and naturally taught her the lesson of 'not knowing how to value one's good name because of her young age and still accusing Di's older sister' and locked him up as punishment.

After this matter spread to the Imperial Academy, Shen Miao became the laughingstock of the students and no longer attended the Imperial Academy. And a long time later... She gradually disappeared from the circle of noblewomen of the capital.

Thinking about it now, his vision had always been restricted by the people in the General's residence who created the illusion of the world. He thought that he himself was virtuous and honorable and did not know that in the eyes of outsiders, he was seen as weak and stupid. He thought that the loving Prince Ding was brave, but did not know that outsiders viewed him as shameless.

The result of this deliberate teaching had led him to a chaotic impression at first. Even though she managed to marry Fu Xiu Yi, she was considered a person that could not be displayed to the public and when everyone compared her to Mei Furen, they would only say that she was stupid .

The stupid past!

Shen Yue looked at the anxiety across Shen Miao's forehead and his lips silently showed a hint of a smile.

He knew that based on Shen Miao's temperament, as long as someone mentioned about Fu Xiu Yi, he would definitely feel angry. But after a long wait and a reaction was yet to be seen, Shen Yue turned his head suspiciously and saw the young lady looking at him with a smile.

The young lady's face was still very pale and her lips were very dry but her pair of dark eyes were still fresh and full of life like grapes.

Shen Miao's eyes were his best feature. Big eyes are almond shaped, dumb and confused like a newborn puppy. It's just that usually he'll look stiff and uninspired.

Shen Yue trembled and he did not know why but there was a kind of unspeakable panic in his heart. It seemed that what he was facing was not a stupid goose but a noble person.

How could there be such a feeling?

Of course he would not know that Shen Miao in front was no longer Shen Miao. Shen Miao in front had experienced the fight for the Imperial position, the scrumptious competition, the loss of favors, the mourning of his children and the death of his entire clan.

She was in charge of the Inner Palace and had supreme power over the six palaces, Empress Shen of Ming Qi.

She froze for a long time until the young lady in front rubbed her forehead and whispered, “Second Brother's words are too serious. I'm the one who fell into myself.”

“Fifth Brother..” Shen Yue did not expect that Shen Miao would say that and was stunned for a moment before he could react. He shook his head and said, "Fifth Sister should not feel sad."

“Why should I feel a complaint,” Shen Miao smiled as she cut her words, “That's just a trivial matter. My head was still dizzy and wanted to rest for a moment. If there was another matter, then it would be discussed at Zu Mu's place. ”

Words had been spoken like that and Shen Yue was unable to say them anymore. Although she felt it was strange that Shen Yue did not treat her warmly, it was also because Shen Miao was fooled in front of Fu Xiu Yi that she was not happy about it. After saying a few more words, Shen Yue then left just like that.

After Shen Yue left, Gu Yun then simply said, “Our Young Miss was pushed into the water and almost lost her life. If he's here to plead on behalf of Eldest Young Miss then please just beg. Why doesn't that seem to be the case?” Gu Yu vaguely warned Shen Miao that Shen Yue had no good intentions.

“When the sandpiper and the clams fight each other, the fisherman will benefit from it. He most likely wants to be that 'fisherman'.” Shen Miao said lightly.

Gu Yu was surprised and pleased that Shen Miao could finally see Shen Yue's real face but could not really understand the meaning behind Shen Miao's words. He looked up and saw a cold smile on Young Miss's face and it had an inexplicable sense of awe that made people look up subconsciously.

Shen Miao looked at his own fingertips.

Why did Shen Qing push him into the water? It was because he said this phrase at that time, "During the new year when father returns with victory, I will let father call and beg father to marry me to His Highness Prince Ding."

He actually said it naively and felt that they were all one family so there was no need for doubt. Shen Xin was a Great General in the Imperial Court and if she was determined to marry off her daughter, nothing would be impossible.

Why would Shen Yue incite disharmony between him and Shen Qing?

Of course because, Shen Yue also loved Prince Ding.

In his past life, Shen Yue and Shen Qing only told him at the end of his life that they both loved Fu Xiu Yi for a long time. Now thinking about it, it had already begun to form at this moment.

Since the two sisters have a crush on Fu Xiu Yi, wouldn't it be a pity if they couldn't achieve this lifelong wish of theirs?

He would definitely let their wishes come true. The Second and Third Household blood debt to the entire Shen family will be paid from now onward.
