    Was it because of Consort Jing? Shen Miao thought to herself and asked, “I heard that the Ye siblings also entered the pce today and went to see Consort Jing?”


    “The Ye siblings came to the pce originally to see me today, but I could tell that they had other agendas, so I let them go. The Ye family probably saw that Lu Jing was pregnant and wanted to use her.” Empress Xiande’s gaze was pensive. “The new daughter they found is extremely beautiful. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also very smart. Not only is she smart, but she’s also ambitious. Such a woman can survive in the harem.”


    Shen Miao narrowed her eyes. “Ye Mei wants to enter the pce?”


    At the end of her previous life, Consort Mei became the empress of Ming Qi. Now, not only had her background changed to that of the Daliang Dynasty, but even her future had changed. Could it be that she wanted to be Emperor Yong Le’s woman and the empress of the Daliang Dynasty? Shen Miao felt that it was very ridiculous.


    “Probably.” Empress Xiande said indifferently, “However, Long Ye’s harem only exists in name. If Ye Mei wants to fight for power here, she’s made the wrong decision. Moreover, His Majesty doesn’t intend to take in any women now.”


    “What if she has another way of entering the harem?” Shen Miao asked. Ye Mei was ruthless and would use unscrupulous methods to climb up. In her previous life, she had personally experienced it. No matter how she looked at it, it was impossible for Ye Mei to return empty-handed. Shen Miao did not want to underestimate her opponent, let alone make a big mistake because of her carelessness.


    Empress Xiande looked at Shen Miao strangely and said, “You don’t seem to like this Miss Ye very much.” Then, she said in relief, “It’s true that this Ye Mei is up to no good. I’ve been in the harem for so many years and am good at judging women. Ye Mei is too greedy. It’s natural for you to be wary of her. Back then, there were rumors that you were jealous of her and targeted her. I guessed that Ye Mei was not simple. Now that I met her, it’s true.”


    Shen Miao said, “I indeed don’t like her very much.”


    “Is it because of Jingxing?” Empress Xiande teased, “Don’t worry, Jingxing is already very smart. He won’t like women smarter than him. He won’t like greedy and ambitious women like Ye Mei.”


    Shen Miao was speechless. Empress Xiande made it sound like she was very stupid.


    “Jingxing suggested to His Majesty not to get too involved with the Ye family. I


    guess he did it for you. However, I don’t like the Ye family to begin with. Although the Ye family are civilian officials, they don’t have the morals of civil officials. Instead, they’re tactful and hypocritical. Everyone in the Ye family is sly, but…” Empress Xiande seemed to have thought of something and said,” The young master of the Ye family is not bad. I spoke to him and he’s as innocent as a child. Unfortunately, he’s crippled and is not respected in the mansion.”


    Shen Miao had also heard about the crippled young master of the Ye family, but she did not know his character. When she heard Empress Xiande say that, she couldn’t help but take pity on him.


    Empress Xiande said, “It won’t be long before the chaotic situation in Long Ye breaks out. Jingxing is often not at home, and he can’t keep you safe all the time. You have to be careful.”


    Shen Miao said with a serious expression, “I understand.”


    Dealing with the Lu and Ye families would undoubtedly cause a storm in Long Ye. As Xie Jingxing’s wife, she was naturally the target of everyone. Empress Xiande patted her hand. “You have to start learning these now..”
