“Miss Lu, you can go and tell His Highness about it yourself.” Shen Miao smiled. “Telling me is useless.”

“Of course I know.” Lu Wan’er glanced at her disdainfully. “I told you this today because I hope you know your place and take the initiative to tell His Highness that you are willing to be his concubine.”

Shen Miao almost laughed out loud. She smiled and said, “I can’t do that.”

“What did you say?” Lu Wan’er widened her eyes, as if she did not expect Shen Miao to reject her.

They spoke a little too loudly, and the surrounding madams looked over. Shen Miao did not hide it and said with a smile, “I won’t take in concubines for my husband. Back then, when Prince Rui came to the Shen family to propose marriage, he also said that he would not take in any other women. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have married him and come all the way to Long Ye.”

The surrounding madams were dumbfounded.

It was not that there was no monogamous marriage in the Daliang Dynasty or Ming Qi, but it was rare. The men of ordinary families could not resist beauty, let alone rich men, officials, and the royal family.

Prince Rui was handsome, charming, and had a high status. How could a person like him only have one woman in his life?

Lu Wan’er was so angry that her face was ashen. She said word by word, “Princess Consort Rui, this is jealousy. Jealous women are not virtuous.”

Shen Miao smiled. “Maybe. I’ve always been jealous. If not for Prince Rui making that promise, I probably wouldn’t be tempted to marry him.”

Lu Wan’er was so angry that she was speechless.

The surrounding madams were also shocked. Shen Miao was new to Long Ye. Not only did she not behave herself, but she was also arrogant. She even dared to offend the Lu family, which even Emperor Yong Le was a little afraid of. Was she really so stupid?

Shen Miao was naturally not afraid.

Even if Emperor Yong Le was dissatisfied with her and wanted to arrange another marriage for Xie Jingxing, he would not matchmake Lu Wan’er with Xie Jingxing. Although Lu Wan’er said that her marriage to Xie Jingxing would help his official career, not to mention that Xie Jingxing was not someone who relied on women to climb up the social ladder, even Emperor Yong Le did not dare to let Xie Jingxing be tied to the Lu family.

Emperor Yong Le probably had no choice but to marry Consort Jing back then. However, if Lu Wan’er married Prince Rui, the entire royal family of the Daliang Dynasty would be inseparable from the Lu family. Fu Xiuyi was willing to marry Shen Miao back then just to get the power of the Shen family because the Shen family was loyal by nature, but the Lu family was ambitious.

Emperor Yong Le couldn’t possibly let Lu Wan’er marry Xie Jingxing. Now that Shen Miao rejected Lu Wan’er outright, it was probably also what Emperor Yong Le wanted.
