Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

198-199

"Today Furen is going to Bright Summer Banquet." Tang Shu smiled, "Young Master had instructed to find someone familiar to give pointers to Furen, thus this old servant has transferred Young Lady Ba Jiao over. Furen can bring Ba Jiao along as a maid and if one encounters unfamiliar people, Young Lady Ba Jiao would explain it to you."

Shen Miao smiled, "Tang Shu, thank you."

Tang Shu waved his hands and said continuously that he dare not accept before speaking with smiles, "One had thought that Furen would not accept the invitation but did not expect that Furen would accept it. Furen is really courageous that this old servant admires." When ordinary people reached an unfamiliar location, there would always be some timidity in one's heart. Not to mention a young lady of an official family, even if one was more courageous, after one's arrival in an totally unfamiliar environment to go to a place where everyone was a stranger and knowing that it was a place of ill-intention, this would require a lot of courage.

"It is only to drink some tea and chat." Shen Miao said lightly, "Where would courage be used at?"

Tang Shu nodded his head, "Exactly. Exactly." His gaze towards Shen Miao was much more with satisfaction and he withdrew after giving out a few more instructions.

Shen Miao looked at this Ba Jiao. Ba Jiao stood properly and smiled as she looked at her. This kind of look was a bit silly but made one's heart felt exceptionally adorable. Today's Shen Miao trip to the Bright Summer Banquet would be difficult if there was no one guiding and if there was someone at the side explaining, one could save a lot of effort. Shen Miao smiled gently at Xie Jing Xing's thoughtful consideration when she thought of something suddenly. Shen Miao looked at Ba Jiao and asked, "Isn't there no female maids in the Prince residence? You..."

Other than the female cook and a few MoMo, there were only male servants and guards in the Prince residence and there were no maids at all. Thus Jing Zhe, Gu Yu and the few that Shen Miao brought over became the few fragrances in the Prince residence.

Ba Jiao smiled, "This servant is not a maid in the Prince residence. This servant is Mo Yu Army's people that was specially transferred over to accompany Furen."

"Mo Yu Army?" Shen Miao was startled. She had heard Xie Jing Xing vaguely mentioned a few words. When in Ming Qi, this army would help Xie Jing Xing on many matters and seemed to be Xie Jing Xing's privately raised army that was extremely powerful. However for Xie Jing Xing to dare to take action that open boardedly, it seemed that Emperor Yong Le knew about the matter.

She asked, "Do you know martial arts?"

"This servant knows how to kill people." Ba Jiao answered with smiles. Jing Zhe and Gu Yu both suck in a breath of cold air when they heard it as they could not believe that this smilling female who looked like Su Ming Lang would actually have a good hand in killing people.

Shen Miao was however satisfied. She thought that Xie Jing Xing was indeed evil to send Ba Jiao to her for the Bright Summer Banquet. But this also meant that at least on the area of martial arts, she would not be at a disadvantage.

Shen Miao said, "Since it is so, then you will come together with me. Jing Zhe will remain in the residence and sort out the warehouse with Bai Lu, Shuang Jiang and the few people. Gu Yu, you and Ba Jiao will set off with me."

Jing Zhe had almost finished tidying up but was only told that she would not be going so her heart felt somewhat grievance and was not happy with Ba Jiao but she feared that Ba Jiao would be angry and kill her in anger, so she unwillingly instructed Ba Jiao to take great care of Shen Miao before leaving.

When everything was ready, Shen Miao then got onto the horse carriage and headed towards the location where the Bright Summer Banquet was held, the Lu residences.
