Chapter 450: Returning to the Capital (6)
As for Prince Rui of the Daliang Dynasty… Shen Miao frowned. Back then, during the Ming Qi tribute, the envoy sent by the Daliang Dynasty did not seem to be this Prince Rui, but another royal member. This Prince Rui was a well-known figure. He was Emperor Yong Le’s brother, but he did not show up much, and the outside world knew very little about him. In her previous life, even as the empress of Ming Qi, Shen Miao knew very little about this Prince Rui, and Fu Xiuyi did not mention him either.
In the end, some things had indeed changed.
Luo Tan did not notice that Shen Miao was in a daze and continued, “I used to tell myself that if I ever went to the capital in my lifetime, I would definitely visit the young marquis of the Xie family. But… It’s not going to happen anymore.” At this point, she actually felt a little sad. “Why didn’t he wait for me to come and see him?”
Shen Miao paused for a moment, and the figure that she had rarely thought of in the past two years gradually became clear in her mind. When she returned to the capital, she found a servant who lived in the original house and asked him about what had happened in the past two years. Ever since Xie Jingxing died, the Xie army suffered a huge blow, and the news caused Xie Ding to age ten years overnight. Xie Ding wanted to step down from his position, but Emperor Wen Hui did not allow him to. Although Xie Ding still had an official title, he was in low spirits and didn’t even go to the imperial court. On the other hand, his two illegitimate sons had both become officials. Although they did not have a high status in the imperial court, they had a good reputation. In a few years, they would probably be able to become the best among the younger generation of Ming Qi.
When the news of Xie Jingxing’s death spread to the capital, Princess Rong Xin went to the Marquis’s Residence to make a fuss. She scolded Xie Ding for being heartless and the culprit of both Princess Yuqing and Xie Jingxing’s death. Princess Rong Xin cried madly. She almost destroyed the entire Marquis’s Residence. Then, she lived in seclusion and rarely came out.
In the past two years, the Su family, which was on good terms with the Marquis of Lin’an, had also been declining. All in all, the decline of the Xie family started from the death of Xie Jingxing.
People of the capital also felt bad about the loss of this talented young man. He was a hero on the battlefield, but in the end, he died a tragic death. When the girls of Ming Qi heard the news of Xie Jingxing’s death, they shed tears of sadness and were brokenhearted.
Shen Miao looked at the dancing flame and lowered her eyes. In the blink of an eye, she saw that Luo Tan had already fallen asleep on the bed.
…
Luo Xueyan combed her long hair with a comb. Although she was already the mother of two children, her hair was still black and shiny without any white hair, just like a young girl .
Shen Xin took off his heavy armor and heard Luo Xueyan say, “I don’t know why but I feel very ill-at-ease about us entering the palace tomorrow.”
“What are you afraid of?” Shen Xin walked behind her and held her shoulder, comforting her. “It’s not the first time we’ve entered the palace. Don’t worry. Nothing will happen with me around.”
Luo Xueyan glanced at him. “We both know very well that the person in the palace probably has a knot in his heart. Previously, I told my father about this. My father said that he was afraid that His Majesty would use something to tie the Shen family down.”
Shen Xin frowned. “Madam, what do you mean?”
“Jiaojiao and Qiu are not married yet.” Luo Xueyan reminded him, “It would have been good if the two of them could get married in Spring City. However, I didn’t expect the emperor’s imperial edict to come so quickly. Now that our Shen family is back in power, I’m afraid many people in the capital are watching us closely. Will the emperor bring up Qiu and Jiaojiao’s marriage?”
Shen Xin was shocked. “Impossible! I won’t let that happen!” No matter what, Shen Xin would never allow Shen Qiu and Shen Miao’s marriages to become a tool for politics.
“Qiu can wait, but Jiaojiao can’t.” Luo Xueyan said, “Jiaojiao is already 16 years old. In the capital, at this age, girls need to be engaged. After two years, she’ll be 18 years old. It’s just the right time for her to get married. We have to help Jiaojiao find a good husband while there’s no move from the royal family.”
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Shen Xin hesitated and said, “There’s no good family around here. Moreover, we still need time to get to know their character.”
“What do you think about…” Luo Xueyan looked at him.” Ling?”
