[1] The Rebirth of The Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

Chapter 199: Secret

"So you be the concubine and I will be the wife."

Shen Miao looked enquiringly at Lu Wan-er. With Lu Wan-er's graceful tone of voice, one did not know where did it came from. Initially when she heard Lu Wan-er's words just now, she felt that it was not false that each of the Lu family was intelligent. However this words made Shen Miao feel that she was unable to know what was Lu Wan-er bottom line as one did not know if Lu Wan-er was really a fool or not to discuss about Imperial matters.

"If Young Lady Lu has the heart, one can talk to His Highness about it." Shen Miao smiled gently, "It is useless to say these to me."

"I naturally know of it." Lu Wan-er looked at her in slight disdain, "I am here to tell you this today, only because that one hope that you have some self-knowledge and take the initiative to speak to His Highness of your willingness to be the concubine."

Shen Miao almost laughed out. She raise her lips slightly and said, "This is someone I will not do."

"What did you say?" Lu Wan-er's eyes widen, seemingly did not expect that Shen Miao would actually refuse.

The volume of their conversation was somewhat loud that the surrounding Furens' gaze all directed towards them. Shen Miao did not hide away from them and smiled, "With regards to the matter of being a concubine, I will not do it. Matters of brining in concubines for one's husband to spread out the branches is something I will not do. At the beginning when Prince Rui of First Rank came to my Shen residence to propose marriage, he had already said that there would not be any other female in the Inner Courtyard of the Prince residence. If it wasn't that, I would not marry so far away to Long Ye."

The surrounding Furen was stunned when they heard it.

On matters of relationship, it was not fair between males and females. In the Inner Courtyard of males, there would be three wives and four concubines and no matter if it was Great Liang or Ming Qi, it was not that there was no couples without anyone else but it was very rare. Ordinary males would not be able to withstand the temptation, much less the wealthy families, official families and the Imperial family.

Prince Rui of First Rank had a handsome and romantic appearance, with a powerful position that he gained at a very young age thus the world that he faced would be filled with flowers. How could a person like him would only have one woman in his entire life?

This lady from the Shen family of Ming Qi indeed had a really big face and did not know how high the sky was and how thick the earth was!

Lu Wan-er was so angry that her face was ashen as she said word by word, "Rui WangFei of First Rank, this is jealously. A female jealously meant that one has a dereliction of virtue."

Shen Miao smiled, "Most likely it is. I have always been jealous easily. If Prince Rui of First Rank had not proposed this condition, I most likely would not been tempted."

Lu Wan-er was so angry that she could not say anything.

Shen Miao's attitude was like a thorn that made others unable to take action. The surrounding Furens were also flabbergasted. Initially when Shen Miao came to Long Ye, she did not live with her tail between her legs or lowered her head to be insignificant but instead was so arrogant that she even offend the Lu family, that Emperor Yong Le had to restrain from. One did not know where had she gotten the courage from or was she so stupid to such a point.

Naturally Shen Miao was not afraid.

Even if Emperor Yong Le was not satisfied with her and wanted to bestow another marriage to Xie Jing Xing, he would not bestow Lu Wan-er to Xie Jing Xing. Even though Lu Wan-er said that she would provide a boost to Xie Jing Xing's career when she marry Xie Jing Xing, not to mention that Xie Jing Xing do not rely on female's ability to climb up, even Emperor Yong Le would not dare to let Xie Jing Xing marry the Lu family easily.
