Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 47
Xie Wanqing followed Xuanyuanming into the pavilion and remained silent for a while.

But Xuanyuan Ming asked: "Miss Xie, you really shouldn't be playing that piece of music today, you've offended your father!"

Xie Wanqing didn't expect Xuanyuan Ming to be so direct, so she replied: "His Royal Highness, this matter is also unintentional. There is a decree from the Holy Spirit, and this matter is what I have to do!"

Xuanyuan Ming frowned slightly, and said: "No matter what you do, you have caused trouble for me, and soon someone will make use of it, not only you and Concubine Cui, but I will also take care of the aftermath of your song!"

Xie Wanqing only thought that Xuanyuan Ming was very ridiculous. Her song did arouse the emperor's abnormal reaction, but it wasn't serious enough to implicate him, right?

Xie Wanqing had no choice but to say: "Your Highness, don't worry, the courtiers will bear it all. If Your Highness hinders our mutual engagement, you can ask for an order to divorce!"

"Retire the engagement? Do you think that as the prince, you can withdraw the marriage if you want? If you can, I don't have to accept your marriage!" Xuanyuan Ming expressed his deep disdain for Xie Wanqing.

Xie Wanqing suddenly looked serious, raised her eyes, her eyes were clear and bright, she looked straight at Xuanyuanming, and said: "Your Highness, my daughter does not want to befriend you, if one day, His Highness has another love, my daughter is willing to be divorced !"

She would rather bear the reputation of "abandoned wife" than marry such a man again!

Xuanyuan Ming frowned even tighter, he could tell that Xie Wanqing didn't seem to be joking.

"You don't want to marry Ben Gong?" Xuanyuan Ming was almost sure of this.

Xie Wanqing didn't want to deny it either, but she didn't want to admit it directly. Instead, she said: "His Royal Highness is a dragon among men, and my courtiers are unmatched!"

Of course Xuanyuanming knew that Xie Wanqing's words were not sincere, but this aroused his curiosity. He is a majestic prince, and there are women who don't want to marry him. It's really interesting!
For the first time, he felt that Xie Wanqing seemed a little different from other noble girls.

"I think what you just said is not true, why on earth do you not want to marry me and become a princess, but many women can't ask for it!" Xuanyuan Ming asked.

Xie Wanqing pursed her lips, and said: "I always like the peaceful and quiet life, I'm afraid I can't adapt to the life in the East Palace, let alone be a qualified princess, but I have self-knowledge!"

Xuanyuanming asked suspiciously: "As Concubine Cui's niece, to be so self-deprecating, I'm afraid it will insult Concubine Cui's reputation?"

"My aunt is naturally beyond the reach of my courtiers!" Xie Wanqing said.

Xuanyuan Ming showed a faint smile of unknown meaning, and said: "So, you really don't want to be a princess?"

Xie Wanqing smiled wryly, and said: "It's just that I can't help my daughter!"

"Indeed, I can't help it, even this palace has no right to say no!" Xuanyuan Ming felt a bit of sympathy for each other.

Xie Wanqing said: "His Royal Highness, it's getting late, please allow my daughter-in-law to leave!"

"Xie Wanqing, I always thought you were that wood-like beauty, but seeing you today is different!" Xuanyuan Ming suddenly said again.

Xie Wanqing stiffened her back, and said: "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness, the minister is still a minister, and has never changed!"

After finishing speaking, she bowed her body and left. It would be painful for her to stay with Xuanyuan Ming for a moment!

Xuanyuanming looked at Xie Wanqing's back thoughtfully, Xie Wanqing seemed to be a little different from what he imagined!
Smart and scheming, and also has the rare arrogance of ordinary women, so interesting!In the past, he was very repulsed by this marriage, but now he has the slightest expectation!
Maybe... There is nothing wrong with marrying him back. He is a prince, and the future emperor will have any kind of woman he wants. Although he doesn't like Xie Wanqing's background, it doesn't matter if he has another woman.

Xie Wanqing hurried away as if avoiding a ghost!

But after walking like this, he lost his way, instead of going back to Wangxing Tower, he entered the Imperial Garden by mistake.

Just as he was about to go back, he saw the emperor sitting here alone by the stone bench beside the rockery.

Xie Wanqing was startled, and was hesitating whether to go forward to pay respects, but was stopped by the emperor.

"Girl, come here!" The emperor's voice could not hear any emotion.

Xie Wanqing walked over bravely, and saluted: "My daughter pays homage to the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"Get up!" The emperor raised his hand feebly, looking a little tired.

Xie Wanqing got up and stood aside, not knowing what to do, finally she forced herself to speak: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has gone to Yicui Garden to look for you!"

"Well, it's okay! I want to be alone for a while!" The emperor said lightly.

Xie Wanqing thought to herself, if she wants to be alone, why call her over, she still fears the emperor in her heart.

This is definitely an emperor with great talent and strategy. Although he was not the founding king of the Dashun Dynasty, more than half of the world in Dashun was brought down by him.

Back then, in order to succeed to the throne, there was a bloodbath, and even the first emperor and his brothers had no good end, but in the end he still became a wise king praised by everyone.

This kind of wrist and courage are not something ordinary people can look down upon!

What's more, he has governed the Dashun Dynasty so prosperously since he succeeded to the throne for more than ten years, and his achievements have already outweighed the negative impact of the coup that year.

Xie Wanqing was worrying about how to speak, but the emperor pointed to the stone bench beside him and said, "Sit down and talk with me for a while!"

Xie Wanqing really didn't know why the emperor suddenly wanted to talk to her, but the emperor's words were imperial decrees, she could only obey them.

The emperor said slowly: "I haven't heard this song for many years, I didn't expect that someone would know it!"

Xie Wanqing was stunned for a moment, and said with a bit of panic: "I really don't know where this song came from, I just got it by chance, I really don't know that it will remind the emperor of old things!"

"Do you know who wrote this song?" the emperor asked.

Xie Wanqing shook her head, she didn't know it at first, even though she knew it now, she didn't dare to say it casually.

The emperor didn't doubt that there was him, but he just said: "Even I almost forgot that she also composed Guangling's swan song. I only know that the former empress likes this song very much. After listening to it today, I just remembered it!"

Xie Wanqing listened to the emperor's melancholy tone, and could hear a trace of unnoticeable attachment. It seems that the concubine Xian is really different in the emperor's heart.

But why does the emperor still treat His Royal Highness King Jing like that?Shouldn't the son born to the woman he likes sincerely love him?Why still use him as a target, and finally let him become a stepping stone for Xuanyuan Ming to ascend to the throne of God?
Isn't this too cruel?
The emperor didn't seem to notice Xie Wanqing's reaction, and said to himself: "Things that I thought I had forgotten, but I haven't forgotten, do you think people are weird?"

Xie Wanqing thought for a while before replying: "Some people don't forget, but they don't want to remember. Perhaps the less willing to think about it, the more they will think about it!"

"It's reasonable..." The emperor sighed in disappointment.
