The Rebirth of the Empress

Flower Gifts

"Little Shen Girl, do you have enmity with Historian Adviser Jing?"

Shen Miao silently watched the young man in front.

His facial features were beautiful but his heroic spirit was somewhat pressing. Although he had a rich playboy appearance, he had a kind of serious aura that surpassed his age. It was not shown in his appearance but was like following him as if there was some sort of feeling of security that one would feel even if Heaven were to fall. Even if he was in the Qin state or in the Inner Palace, he had never seen such a person. Just one sentence, he could distinguish the middle from everything.

For such a brilliant and talented person to die prematurely, Heaven was truly jealous of the heroic geniuses.

Pity flashed across his eyes but when he spoke again, his voice was flat and innocent, "Yes."

“You have taken a detour for this chess game.” Xie Jing Xing inspected it closely, “To do such a big round just to send Gao Yan into the official circle. Could it be that you want to make the official circle of Ming Qi go awry?”

Even Shen Miao who had lived for two lives, was inevitably a little surprised. If he were to say that Xie Jing Xing's appearance was extremely intelligent and could immediately deduce something with a single clue, now this fellow was truly terrifying.

Ordinary people would take a step and look at the next step. Smart people will take one step and look at the next ten steps. With those seemingly ordinary words, Xie Jing Xing took a step and looked thousands of miles away. To be that shamelessly straight to the point, it made him rather unsure of how to respond.

After a while he then replied, "What does this have to do with the Little Marquis?"

"This Marquis is not the official circle business of Ming Qi but the Marquis of Lin An should not be touched." There were several warnings in his tone, "If you have any intentions for the residence of the Marquis of Lin An, then don't blame this Marquis for being rude."

Shen Miao saw it. Xie Jing Xing had always hated the Marquis of Lin An's residence so much and liked to go against his father, but now it seemed that it was not a complete hatred. In fact, he seemed to have the Marquis of Lin An in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have protected the entire reputation of the Marquis of Lin An's residence in his last life and ended up with tens of thousands of arrows piercing through his heart.

And it was also understandable if Xie Jing Xing was suspicious of his actions towards the Xie family. The Shen and Xie families had always been unable to deal with each other and with his current actions that no one seemed to understand, it seemed that from someone else it was possible that the Shen family would trip the Xie family.

"Marquis Xie can calm down." He clearly spoke in a tone as if he was talking about the weather today, “The Xie and Shen family is like well water that does not disturb the river water, so of course it will not cause any problems. What Marquis Xie feared would not happen. A person's life is only a few decades, a reversal of the wheel of fortune will also occur. The Xie family viewed the Shen family as enemies, but who knows if there will be a day in the future where they will be on the same ship under the wind and rain to face the same enemy

"Is this you who revealed your good intentions to me?" Xie JingXing raised her eyebrows.

"Yes." Yeah." Shen Miao said calmly.

Xie Jing Xing sized up the young lady in front of him. Since he was born until now, he has seen many women. When she was young, the women wanted to get closer to her father and after that, the women got closer to her. Among these women, there were those who had flowery words, those who were extremely beautiful, those who could swing swords and spears and even those who were cunning and resourceful.

Xie Jing Xing had seen thousands of types of smart people but none of them had surprised him like this person in front of him.

Perhaps the intuition that became the experience at the tip of the sword on the battlefield, Xie Jing Xing could smell the bloodlust of this young lady. It was as if there was a puddle of stagnant water but there was a savage beast lurking at its base. At the moment the surface looks calm and peaceful but does not move and waits for an opportunity to penetrate the sun and when that day happens, there will be terror.

Although this looks a bit silly, how big of a storm can an unmarried woman bring? But Xie Jing Xing was a person who never underestimated his own intuition.

Under the purple robe of the Lotus in the wind, the young lady's face was somewhat frozen but the lush plum blossom forest made her appear to stand out like one of the Palaces. Nobility. Lonesome. Determiners. Without a bottom like a ravine.

"Marquis Xie." Shen Miao called out to stop him.

“What's the matter again?” He stood still and asked without looking back.

"Two Shu younger brothers from the Xie family will also take the stage in the academy examination." Shen Miao said lightly, "Will Marquis Xie indulge that much?"

The two Shu sisters of the Xie family were born to a Yiniang, Madam Fang, and both, Xie Chang Wu and Xie Chang Chao were currently in Second Class. In truth, Xie Jing Xing was also Guang Wen Tang's Third Grade student but as she did on her own accord, Guang Wen Tang was unable to hold her back so they let her. Otherwise, Xie Jing Xing would have taken the academy examination with second-rate sister Shu.

In his previous life, Xie Jing Xing had certainly not participated in the academy examination and his two younger brothers Shu had managed to become the center of attention. To be honest, Xie Chang Wu and Xie Chang Chao were considered very capable and were among the best in the martial arts category. Hence, they attracted the Emperor's attention and were then deliberately promoted by Fu Xiu Yi to deal with Fu Xiu Yi's matter.

Shen Miao had always felt that Marquis Lin An and his son were smart people and wondered how they could end up like that in his previous life. Although the Imperial family provided assistance, the ones receiving the shade were three mothers and a son. In fact, with careful consideration, there was no doubt. For example, the collapse of the Shen family in his previous life, there was a helping hand from the Second and Third Households. So it seemed like there was an internal problem in the Xie family.

"You hope this Marquis will go up and compete with them?" Xie Jing Xin turned her head back as she said with a slight surprise, "Just like you fought with your older sister?"

"How will Marquis Xie's situation be the same as mine?" Shen Miao ignored his words of ridicule and said, “The deepest knife is precisely in the hands of the closest people. I naturally understood that Marquis Xie was a noble person and would not be too worried about minor matters with Shu's son. But a thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant's nest. A seemingly mediocre toy might look like that, but it was a venomous snake in the dark. ” Every word and sentence is spoken very clearly. It was a very clear warning tone but his eyes were as clear as a little child, "Someone should cut them off right from the start and make sure that they would never be able to sprout."

“Compared to let them have unlimited support from nobles, for this snake-like brother, to compete with them and let them fool themselves in front of everyone, wouldn't someone be happier than pretending at the residence?”

Xie JingXing's heart moved.

Her mother is the blue-blooded noble Princess Yu Qing and she does not want to be bothered with son Shu because these people will say that her attitude is not there and mention that her birth mother is angry until died of jealousy when she died pregnant. He did not care about his own reputation but he would forever take into account Princess Yu Qing's reputation.

At the residence of the Marquis of Lin An, he would treat the mother and son, three people, coldly. Although the Marquis of Lin An would be biased towards him, outsiders would gossip unnecessarily. All these three mothers and children need to do is show a respectful and loving appearance that makes them nauseous. He only wanted to be like an outsider who saw the three of them acting so Shen Miao's words made his heart move.

If someone extinguishes their expectations, isn't that more fun? To let go of all the pretenses of hospitality and let them get frustrated at not being able to show a face of respect?

Shen Miao's voice seemed somewhat bewitching as she said, “It's been a long time. Don't tolerate.”

Don't tolerate.

He lowered his head and looked at the people nearby. The young lady had a gentle fragrance like her, looking pure in appearance but in reality, cold and indifferent. He clearly knew the purpose of the suggestion but one could not refuse it.

His lips were attracted to smile and with a sweep of his sleeve, the Begonia flower had fallen into his palm. The next second, where the Begonia flower was before, there was a small jade Begonia in its place.

She smiled yet she did not smile as she picked the flowers and spoke in an ambiguous tone, “You are interesting. These flowers are given to you. His advice is not bad. Thank you very much."
