Empress Xiao valued Madam Yang’s suggestion.

At least, that was what she thought.

However, the head of the Xiao family had just died, and Empress Xiao’s entire family was useless. This was also a very awkward place.

Regardless of what she had done, the Xie family would not support her with all their might. They would definitely put the Xie family’s interests first. This was all in her heart.

Originally, they thought that when Provincial Governor Xiao entered Jiankang, his position would first be vacated by the sons of the Xiao family. No one expected such a mistake to happen in the middle. Before he could enter Jiankang, Provincial Governor Xiao died suddenly.

Emperor Yong Ping had sent several imperial edicts to summon Governor Xiao into the capital, but there was no movement from Yizhou. Empress Xiao felt bad.

The Xiao family had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and had returned to the center of power in Jiankang City. It was impossible for them to disobey the imperial edict.

As expected, such a thing happened.

Actually, she could understand Yang shi’s words.

Both Prince Jiangxia and Prince Huaiyang had a dark history. They had defected to the plebeian Wang family. Prince Huaiyang was caught by Sikong Xiao and immediately defected. He even instigated many of the royal guards guarding the city to defect. However, Prince Jiangxia had been trapped in the palace and was forced to be tied to the plebeian Wang family and the deposed Crown Prince. It was only at the last moment that he surrendered and acknowledged Emperor Yong Ping.

After that, although the King of Guiyang attacked Jiankang City and gave the two kings a chance, he did not have any real power. The King of Huaiyang quickly changed sides and was even given the title of Taibao. The name sounded nice, but it was actually just an empty shell and a special title.

King Jiang Xia was not even as good as King Huai Yang. He had a Zong Zheng who was in charge of the royal family’s miscellaneous affairs and could not be more idle.

Yang shi was the wife of Jiang Xia King Hou Xianxian. The old man and young wife had always been harmonious.

Jiang Xia King was in his fifties and was almost sixty years old. He had always respected and doted on the Taishan Yang family that he had married. Even though there were countless concubines, none of them could surpass the Yang family. They had two sons and two daughters of the Yang family, and their status had always been stable.

She was different from the Princess Consort of Huaiyang.

Empress Xiao glanced at Madam Wen. She was as dumb as a log and just listened.

“.. Wen shi, what do you think?” Yang shi looked at Empress Xiao’s eyes.

As a princess consort, being called Madam Wen was considered a loss of face, but Madam Wen had always been humble and did not dare to speak out.

After Xiao Jing ‘ai’s reincarnation, he was first frightened by the several times he was killed and did not dare to easily expose his identity. Then, he was shocked by the Prince of Huaiyang, who was constantly in a state of anger and did not dare to resist. In the eyes of outsiders, he was more submissive and soft-hearted than before.

Yang shi’s question shocked Xiao Jing ‘ai. Yes, she was Wen shi.

She was the Prince of Huaiyang.

Although she felt that ‘Wen shi¹ didn’t sound nice, she didn’t dare to provoke him. She was afraid that people would call her that in the past. If she reacted violently, it would make people suspicious.

Moreover, although Yang shi was young, her seniority was still there. Presumably, she relied on her high seniority to order everyone around.

Even if there was a difference in seniority, she was still the Princess Consort of the Prince of Huaiyang. At least, her status was equal. In terms of official position, the Prince of Huaiyang was even higher.

After dying a few times, his ability to comfort himself had improved significantly.

“Me?” Xiao Jing ‘ai laughed dryly. What did she just say? She was in a daze.

All she could think about was the radiant and radiant Xiao Baoxin.

Why?

She died again and again, and each time was worse than the last. Xiao Baoxin married into the Xie family, but the sick ghost from the Xie family actually didn’t die. She didn’t become a widow, but her health improved. She could call the wind and rain in the court, and she had power in the court?

Furthermore, not only did he dominate the court, he also doted on Xiao Baoxin and didn’t even have a concubine?

Xiao Baoxin had two children in three years, and the entire Xie family spoiled them like babies.

When she heard these rumors, Xiao Jing ‘ai gritted her teeth. This was not the ending she wanted!

Why did Xiao Baoxin become a winner in life?

Was she going to live like a maggot and be hammered into the ground?

When he saw Xiao Baoxin in the Peaceful Life Palace, Xiao Jing ‘ai’s heart almost turned sour. Whether a person was happy or not could be seen from their eyes. Xiao Baoxin was still looking around with a smug expression.

She just couldn’t understand why a vulgar person like Xiao Baoxin would hit people when they didn’t agree with each other and scold people when they didn’t agree with her. Why were there so many people who loved and doted on him in both lifetimes?

In her previous life, she had Yang Shao to protect her, and in this life, she still had Xie Xian…

How was she inferior to Xiao Baoxin?

Just as she was going crazy with jealousy and was about to twist her fingers under her sleeves, she heard Madam Yang say,

Let her speak?

What did she say?

She heard what the two of them were talking about. She was a dog.

“.. I said, that’s true. Royal Aunt is right.”

How could Yang shi not see that Wen shi was not sincere at all?

“You have also married into the royal family, so you have to shoulder the responsibility on your shoulders. It doesn’t matter if you’re from a small family. You’re now the Princess Consort of King Huaiyang, so you have to show your boldness as a Princess Consort! When you entered the palace, did Prince Huaiyang say anything to you?”

These words were actually meant for Empress Xiao to hear.

At the very least, it meant that what Yang shi had said was all under Prince Jiang Xia’s orders.

Xiao Jing ‘ai stammered,”

“The Eleventh King told me to tell Imperial Aunt not to talk too much.”

Alright, it was still the same sentence. This was a piece of mud that could not be helped.

Even the King of Huaiyang didn’t think highly of his princess and didn’t like her. What could they say?

Empress Xiao and Yang Shi looked at each other and threw Xiao Jing ‘ai to the side. They didn’t see Wen Shi’s delicate and pitiful appearance, as if she had been bullied. He was very petty.

“.. I will pass on the princess ‘words to the emperor. The emperor was also thinking that only talented people could be respected, so there was no need to be afraid of relatives. Could it be that talented relatives were not needed in order to avoid suspicion? They still had to be used as long as they had the heart to serve the country and the people.”

Madam Yang smiled and nodded.

“Emperor, it’s hard to avoid having a knot in your heart regarding the past. But at that time, you could only lower your head. I know that the Empress is from the Xiao family of Lanling, a noble daughter of an aristocratic family. The structure of the world is naturally different.”

“Others may not say, but when I heard that the late emperor had chosen the Empress, I agreed in my heart. The Emperor needed a generous wife like the Empress to assist him, whether in the court or outside.”

“There are some things that only the Empress can persuade the Emperor.”

“We are all doing this for Daliang and the Emperor.”

After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

Xiao Jing ‘ai laughed until she was confused.

To put it nicely, it was all for the sake of Liang and the Emperor. How could this ugly empress be worthy of the Emperor?

If there was one thing that Xiao Jing ‘ai regretted, it was that he didn’t take a fancy to the Emperor who was still Xin’ an King, and he was wholeheartedly devoted to Yang Shao.

Who would have thought that such a big change would happen in his previous life and this life, and Emperor Yong Ping would actually pick up the opportunity to become the emperor?

Back then, Emperor Yong Ping did not give her any hints. It was obvious that he was interested in her. As long as she softened a little and nodded, she would be the empress now. How could there be such an ugly thing?

And he looked down on her?

If she wasn’t blind and mistook Yang Shao, Xiao Ning wouldn’t have been able to take advantage of him.

Xiao Jing ‘ai was filled with regret.
