Chapter 231: Return Of An Old Friend (Part 13)
“Your Majesty…” That old official still wanted to speak.
“Beloved Xu Official, Zhen remember than there are two young granddaughters in your house and they are of age.” Emperor Xiao Jing said.
That person was stunned and his heart became nervous but there was a little joy that peeked out. It was just that in the next moment the joy flew away as he heard the Emperor saying, “How about Zhen bestow them to the Young General Song at the Wu border?”
That young General Song was young and promising but unfortunately he was blinded in one eye on the battlefield and it was impossible for him to have any future.
'Beloved Xu Official' expression became like the soil.
“Zhen is not here to listen to your view or here to listen to your criticizing. Zhen is informing you of the result.” He sat on the throne and looked down at all the officials, “Zhen is the son of Heavens and the Master. If everyone have any opinion about court matters, just speak about it but if there is any words on managing Zhen's Inner Palace or Zhen's personal affairs, then Zhen will definitely,” He thought for a moment before continuing, “Pay it back with interest.”
“At that time, do not blame Zhen for disorderly creating married couples.” He said in a smiling yet not smiling manner.
He indeed was not like an Emperor as he was not serious or solemn enough but was even more dangerous than the Emperors of the past. He was not inferior in any respect to Emperor Yong Le. The more he appeared to be this indifferent, the more it made another's heart thump. Everyone knew how black bellied this Prince Rui of First Rank was and once he targeted one, one would not even know how they died. The most important thing was that he completely disregards traditions and reputation, unfearing anything. Everyone believe that this Emperor Xiao Jing would definitely marry this high ranking official's granddaughter to another official's younger brother or making some other high ranking official's grandson marry a daughter of their sworn enemy.
It was alright if the couple was mismatched. One feared that this was a method of control. If this was a way to contain them then, they would not even know how the family clan would weaken and die off.
No one would dare to gamble with the entire family clan as stakes.
Everyone was thinking to give it up. Currently it was a time of sweetness so just let Emperor Xiao Jing do whatever he wants. Maybe in some days' time he would be tired of it or perhaps be fascinated by some new beauties. Men would be in true love at times of love and when they did not love, they would really have no love. Why do they need to do such thankless things here?
With such thoughts, all the officials seemed to have understood. They no longer said anything and some even started flattering, saying Emperor Xiao Jing and Furen's deep love was like a legent.
Xie Jing Xing looked on coldly at the officials' faces, as if looking at colourful masks that covered the world. He felt ridiculous but also somewhat in pity.
He half knelt down in front of Shen Miao.
The male that was kneeing down had gold under his feet and even if it was an ordinary male, it would be surprising to make such a move. Thus everyone was shocked as he was not an ordinary person but Great Liang's Emperor, the master of the lands under Havens. But he was kneeling down in front of a female that devoutedly.
Shen Miao was supported by him well and seating at the highest position. She was changed into a gorgeous noble Palace robes by Tao GuGu and there were fine gold powder that was sprinkled at the end of her eyes, making her look full of arrogance. She wore the brightly golden robes of an Empress with eyes closed and long lashes hanging down, seemingly deep in sleep.
She was really very beautiful and tough female. Gao Zhang said that Shen Miao had an unfulfilled wish so she had the will to survive to her last breath and Gao Zhang was able to save her life.
And what was her last wish?
It was to see Xie Jing Xing one last time, to see Chu Yi and Shi Wu grow up or to say goodbye to Shen Xin and the rest?
