Shen Miao lowered her eyes and smiled. “It’s very quiet. It’s probably a little girl. ”
“That’s not necessarily the case.” Empress Xiande smiled. “There are also boys who are quiet and girls who are naughty. However, when Jingxing comes back, he will realize that he is a father. I wonder how he will react.” 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Shen Miao thought of the scene at that time and felt a headache coming on. If Xie Jingxing knew that she had been hiding it from him for so long, he would definitely throw a tantrum.
As they spoke, Emperor Yong Le came in from outside.
Shen Miao and Emperor Yong Le did not meet often. Emperor Yong Le probably still did not like her. Every time he saw her, his attitude was not good.
However, recently, because of the child in her stomach, he had softened a lot. He would occasionally get someone to send over some herbs to nourish her body.
Luo Tan was a little afraid of Emperor Yong Le and immediately sat up straight.
The four of them ate at the same table. Luo Tan was a little embarrassed. Shen
Miao was fine, but Emperor Yong Le’s expression was cold. Only Empress Xiande was the happiest. She said, “Jingxing has made a great contribution this time. When he returns, he will definitely be rewarded. I think we can confer a title to Princess Consort Rui. Jingxing doesn’t lack anything. It’s not a bad thing to have a title.”
Emperor Yong Le paused for a moment and nodded.
Empress Xiande asked Shen Miao, “Do you think it’s a good idea?”
Shen Miao didn’t know what to say.
How was she supposed to answer that? If she said yes, it would clearly make Emperor Yong Le unhappy. If she said no, she would be rude to Empress Xiande. Shen Miao smiled and said, “Let’s talk about this when His Highness comes back.”
“That’s true.” Empress Xiande nodded. “Maybe he has other ideas.” She looked at Luo Tan. “When Gao Yang comes back, I’ll arrange a marriage for you two.
How about that?.
Luo Tan almost choked on the pastry in her mouth. If it were anyone else, she would have talked back immediately. However, she was the empress, so Luo Tan could only look at Shen Miao for help.
Shen Miao held back her laughter and said, “There’s no hurry. Let’s wait for Young Master Gao to come back. What if he has someone else in his heart?”
When Luo Tan heard Shen Miao speak up for her, she heaved a sigh of relief.
However, after she thought about it, she felt upset. What did Shen Miao mean? Shen Miao spoke as if Gao Yang didn’t like her. She was a beautiful girl, and she was the daughter of the Luo family in Spring City… No, why did she have to complain? She had no intention of marrying Gao Yang.
Emperor Yong Le glanced at Empress Xiande and said in a low voice, “Let’s eat.”
Empress Xiande said, “It’s just a family banquet. Eat whenever you want. Why are you so serious?”
Ever since Xie Jingxing repeatedly sent back good news, almost all the officials in the imperial court had become obedient. Although the Xie family only had these two brothers, they were not easy to deal with. One was good at managing the imperial court, and the other was good at expanding the land and fighting. The imperial court was much quieter than before.
Recently, there were very few people who criticized Emperor Yong Le for having no descendants.
It was rare for Empress Xiande to have such a peaceful life, and her relationship with Emperor Yong Le had changed slightly. They seemed to have gradually become an ordinary couple. Emperor Yong Le was an extremely principled person. In the past, Empress Xiande would always follow the rules. Over the past few days, Empress Xiande would occasionally do something willful, and Emperor Yong Le indulged her..
