Chapter 222: Fu Ming (Half 1)
“One heard that Prince Rui has plenty of emotions for Rui WangFei presently.” Ye Ke stated, “A number of days in the past, one heard that each of them toured Lengthy Ye palms to palms. It may be seen that Prince Rui love Shen Miao to the bones. Talking of which, that Shen Miao’s look is inferior to yours so one have no idea how may one other get together be fascinated by her.” Ye Ke appeared in direction of Ye Mei, “Does Older Sister nonetheless needs to enter the residence of Prince Rui.”
Ye Mei was considerably upset. She was completely unable to showcase her superiority in entrance of Xie Yan. When she was in Qin province beforehand, she can be invincible to whichever man that she needed to utilize. Nevertheless when going through Xie Yuan, she all the time felt that there was nowhere to begin. Xie Yuan didn’t pay any consideration to her and Ye Mei may really feel within the gaze that Xie Jing Xing use when he checked out her, it was no completely different from taking a look at Lu Wan-er or another daughters of Nice Liang officers. She felt that she couldn’t subdue Xie Yuan in any respect as a result of Xie Yuan didn’t view her as a feminine.
Enthusiastic about that, Ye Mei spoke evadingly, “Let’s speak about it later and since Ye Mao Cai didn’t point out of this matter on the time being, one don’t must assume extra about it. Probably the most pressing process readily available is to search out out what issues is going on to the Ye household. If the Ye household collapse someday, it can not implicate us so it’s higher to make plans early.
“Truly…” Ye Ke hummed and hawed, “Beforehand Ye Mao Cai can to search for me as soon as and have some ideas of wanting you to enter the Palace.”

Getting into the Palace naturally didn’t imply coming into the Palace atypical however coming into the Palace to be the Emperor’s girl. Ye Mei sneered, “It is vitally unusual that there’s not even a descendent within the Palace so there have to be some queer circumstances. If I enter the Palace and should not have any youngsters, one wouldn’t have any help for 100 years. If the Emperor handed on, would one even must accompany him for burial? Ye Mao Cai solely have ideas of getting good relations with the Imperial household and didn’t care about my life and dying. I can’t enter the Palace. Let him finish such ideas.” On the finish of her phrases, there was some viciousness in it.
It was not that Ye Mei didn’t take into consideration coming into the Palace nevertheless it was as a result of she had all the time been good and analysing the professionals and cons. Presently the Emperor didn’t have any youngsters and one feared that it was the Emperor that was having the issue so how lengthy may a feminine with none son be capable to dwell within the Internal Palace? Not mentioning the Internal Palace, even when it was the Internal Courtyard of an enormous household, dying was the one route if one didn’t have a son. It was each shrinking one’s head and maintaining ones ideas to at least one’s thoughts for a whole lifetime however these weren’t what Ye Mei needed. She needed to climb up, and proceed to go as much as get pleasure from energy and advantages and these are extra vital than coming into the Palace to be the Emperor’s girl.
Ye Ke was considerably awkward, “I additionally guessed that you’d assume as such and instantly informed Ye Mao Cai that it’s not doable.”
“Oh?” Ye Mei took a look at him and stated fluttering, “You actually informed him like this?”
Ye Ke averted Ye Mei’s gaze and stated, “Older Sister, you continue to don’t consider in me?”
Ye Mei smiled however one didn’t know what was the that means behind the smile, “Briefly, each you and I’ve to pay attention to one’s identification. The Ye household will not be our actual house and the Ye household persons are not household, furthermore the Ye household have their egocentric ideas. I’ll discover methods to determine what is definitely happening with the Ye household and how much plans have they got. If there’s a day the place the Ye household fall into misfortune, each of us should not fall in collectively and it’s the greatest if we may withdraw safely.”
“Older Sister, how are issues this severe?” Ye Ke disagreed, “If it was actually this severe, the Ye household would have lengthy begun to hunt a approach out for themselves.”
Ye Mei smiled coldly, “One feared that the Ye household themselves have no idea that the catastrophe is coming.”
Simply as she was talking, one heard somebody exterior calling, “Eldest Sister. Second Older Brother.”
Ye Ke went as much as open the doorways and noticed a servant pushing Ye Hong Guang exterior. Regardless that Ye Mao Cai was shrewd, he handled this crippled son effectively and had specifically instructed folks to make a moveable chair for him in order that the servant may push him round and he may go across the Ye residence. Nevertheless Ye Furen didn’t actually like this concubine-born son that was positioned beneath her title.
Ye Hong Guang nonetheless appreciated Ye Mei and Ye Ke lots, most certainly as a result of he felt the Ye residence had been so quiet and desolate for therefore a few years and now with siblings, he can be blissful. He additionally had a easy persona, like that of a kid and didn’t appeared to be raised by the Ye household. Nevertheless when one remembered that he had by no means depart the residence, it was pure to have such a easy persona since he would solely be studying aside from enjoying chess with Ye Mao Cai.
Ye Mei smiled, “What matter does Third Youthful Brother have?”
Ye Hong Guang’s look was not like Ye Mao Cai nor Ye Furen, he most certainly appeared comparable like that late concubine and his facial options had been fairly delicate. He additionally smiled, “Father instructed you to make a visit to the research and I took the chance to carry the 9 connecting chains to Eldest Sister. One heard that Eldest Sister is an knowledgeable in 9 connecting chains, thus one introduced it over.”
Ye Mei took that 9 connecting chains over and stated, “Once I unlock it, one will personally despatched it to Third Youthful Brother.”
“Thanking Eldest Sister!” Ye Hong Guang appeared very enthusiastic about it.
Ye Mei smiled gently and turned her head again to have a look at Ye Ke and noticed the solemnness within the different’s gaze.
For Ye Mao Cai to name them each into the research at such a time there was clearly some new issues for them to deal with. He was utilizing them as chess items however how would Ye Mei and brother let themselves be in one other’s mercy?
It will positively be one other trade of guessing recreation once more.

On the second day, the information about Consort Jing being pregnant had been unfold all through the whole Lengthy Ye.
Emperor Yong Le had been childless for therefore a few years, naturally there have been varied speculations about it. Probably the most was that Emperor Yong Le was unable to have a toddler as a result of some well being causes and due to this motive, there was struggles and continuous combating over these years. Nevertheless when Consort Jing turned pregnant, this could have much more that means to it.

Thus a bunch of officers began to stupidly consider sending their residence’s daughter to the Palace. At one other aspect, a few of Lengthy Ye’s officers who had been taking the wait-and-see angle began to have new decision. In any case, Consort Jing’s being pregnant had led to plenty of influences in Nice Liang’s court docket and Internal Palace.
When Shen Miao spoke of the matter to Xie Jing Xing, she additionally stated, “Beforehand as a result of the Emperor was childless, the Internal Palace is clear and there usually are not a lot disputes however now that Consort Jing’s being pregnant is unfold out, all forms of excessive rating officers wish to ship their daughters into the Palace and rush to have youngsters. One fears that the Internal Palace can be chaotic.”
It was the scariest for the same old calm water to turn into alive as a result of a stone that was thrown into the pond.
Xie Jing Xing smiled, “Nevertheless it’s only if one can truly give delivery.”
Emperor Yong Le and gotten them to drink the concoction to keep away from being pregnant and Consort Jing’s being pregnant was an accident. Nevertheless due to this accident, the Palace can be much more rigorous and strict on this side sooner or later in order that nobody would be capable to have any single alternative.
“However the Lu household is just too anxious.” Shen Miao supported her chin, “The information was not even circulated within the Palace and so they unfold it out first. Now the whole Lengthy Ye is aware of about it.”
“The quicker it’s unfold, the quicker one dies.” Xie Jing Xing was sporting the outer robes in the mean time and Shen Miao stood as much as assist him tidy up his collar. He appeared down at Shen Miao and stated, “However if you’re pregnant with my youngster, I’ll instruct folks to make it identified to everybody in Lengthy Ye.”
Shen Miao glared at him, “When you dare to let one other feminine bear your youngster?”
“What about it?” Xie Jing Xing frowned.
Shen Miao pulled his collar tightly and stated fiercely, “The matter of the elimination of the whole family of Prince Rui would even be unfold to everybody in Lengthy Ye.”
Xie Jing Xing laughed out loud and hugged her waist earlier than reducing his head to whisper into her ears, “One have a ferocious spouse at house and one’s spirit is weary and all energy is exhausted. One concern that it will not be doable.”
“Ferocious?” Shen Miao nearly erupted in anger.
Xie Jing Xing needed to talk extra when Bao Jiao’s voice was heard from exterior, “Grasp, Furen, the horse carriage is put together. Will we set off now?”
Shen Miao launched her palms, “We are going to converse after we return.”
Xie Jing Xing smiled slyly, “One let the ruler freely rein.”
Shen Miao, “Get out.”
They had been to enter the Palace. Today XIe Jing Xing steadily headed to the Palace to debate with Emperor Yong Le on the best way to cope with the Lu household. Most probably the Lu household additionally felt the strain and began to rearrange the troops however on the different aspect felt that since Consort Jing was pregnant, Emperor Yong Le would positively not do something to the Lu household. At one aspect they had been suspicious, on the different aspect they consider firmly, thus the Lu household themselves had been confused, which went together with the Imperial household’s needs. The forces of either side began making ready thus Xie Jing Xing gave the impression to be exceptionally busy.
Shen Miao additionally guessed Ming Qi’s state of affairs from Pei Lang’s letter in regards to the future and helped the Shen household escape from Fu Xiu Yi’s surveillance.
Right this moment Shen Miao additionally deliberate to enter the Palace to go to Empress Xian De and coincidently Xie Jing Xing was additionally coming into the Palace, thus each husband and spouse went in collectively.
As soon as coming into the Palace, Xie Jing Xing left for the Imperial Research to satisfy Emperor Yong Le and since Shen Miao needed to see Empress Xian De, she let Tao GuGu information her. Shen Miao noticed that the highway taken had been carpeted and there have been many palace maids strolling within the Palace, thus she turned curious and requested what was happening. Tao GuGu stated, “That is instructed by Her Ladyship Consort Jing, fearing that she would knock onto one thing when she stroll and hurt the kid in her womb thus there are far more palace servants than earlier than serving. Today, everybody within the Palace are loopy busy and Her Ladyship the Empress is beneficiant and can’t be bothered to bicker along with her thus she had turned the whole Internal Palace the wrong way up.” Tao GuGu was Empress Xian De’s feminine official and thus didn’t must deal with what she spoke however due to Empress Xian De, she had handled Shen Miao as one among her on and wouldn’t conceal her disgust for Consort Jing. She stated, “There may be nothing an excessive amount of however it is vitally tiring for everybody, making others really feel sad.”

The Ye household? Shen Miao shook her head, “One didn’t see.” Nevertheless she was turning over in her thoughts. The Ye household’s Younger Woman and Younger Grasp pure referred to Ye Mei and Ye Ke. Ye Mei and Ye Ke got here to see Consort Jing? The Lu household and the Ye household weren’t significantly intimate so why the necessity for right now? To abruptly see Consort Jing, one concern that the wine-lover’s coronary heart was not within the cup. Might it’s that they had been scheming about one thing? However why let Ye Mei come to speak with Consort Jing? Not saying how Ye Mei was however Consort Jing was a silly one so how may she be capable to deal with such large accountability? One concern that the Ye household had discovered the incorrect particular person.
She vaguely felt that one thing was incorrect however she was right here to go to Empress Xian De so it was not good to speak extra in regards to the matter with Tao GuGu. She was full of doubts as she arrived within the Imperial Gardens.
