Negotiating Peace (1)
Jiang Mingwei, who realised the reality, felt terrified. ‘Since when did the status of the two of us change?’
Both were princesses, but Mu Mingtang was far more dazzling than Jiang Mingwei. The Emperor and Empress paid special attention to her, and even the people in the capital were fond of talking about her. Everyone could tell about Princess An’s deeds.
And this time, Jiang Mingwei had been overshadowed by Mu Mingtang. No one noticed her at all. Few people in the capital mentioned that there was another princess who would be the future Empress.
‘Mu Mingtang mocked me in front of everyone just now, but nobody dared to criticise Mu Mingtang or even tried to speak on my behalf. However, the Empress mother would reprimand me if I made fun of Mu Mingtang in front of other people.’ Jiang Mingwei thought to herself.
After a bit of chatting, it was time to start the meal. The palace maid came to the banquet hall to urge the ladies to tidy up their appearance.
Many people went back to their mansions to change clothes, so Mu Mingtang also thought of getting some fresh air and went outside.
The women in the hall exhaled a sigh of relief when Mu Mingtang finally left. Soon, there were only a few people remaining there.
Jiang Mingwei went to the side hall to fix her hair, and as soon as the door was closed, her expression could no longer be concealed, and it turned dark and gloomy.
Jiang Mingwei was definitely in a bad mood, so maids held their breaths, afraid of angering her further.
Although the other maids could keep their mouths shut, the dowry maid appointed by Mrs. Jiang couldn’t. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward, trying to persuade: “Princess, you are well-educated and sensible, don’t care about things said by irrelevant people. They are nothing in front of you.”
Jiang Mingwei only needed to hear the beginning to predict what the maid was about to say. It was nothing more than repeating the same thing, telling her to bear with it and let it go.
Last year, Mrs. Jiang persuaded her to endure it for a month or two, saying that Xie Xuanchen would not survive the New Year, and when he died, Jiang Mingwei had the final say on how to deal with Mu Mingtang.
In the end, although it was already April, Xie Xuanchen’s health was improving steadily. It was being said that he had recently resumed his martial arts training. It didn’t seem like his disease would cause him to pass away any time soon.
Thinking about the current situation, Jiang Mingwei felt a sense of terror. ‘How could this happen… why…’
In her previous life, Ye Luyan also said the same things as her mother. He said that his main wife’s family was too powerful, and even he was afraid of them, so he asked Jiang Mingwei, who was his concubine, to bear with it until he ascended the throne. After that, he would seek justice for her and she would have the final say on how to deal with Ye Luyan’s main wife.
Later, Ye Luyan did ascend the throne, but Jiang Mingwei did not feel relief.
She had endured it for a long time until her skin turned pale and her hair turned grey. At that time, in her previous life, she also thought that there was true love between her and Ye Luyan. Once he would ascend the throne, the affectionate male protagonist (Ye Luyan) would help his wronged and weak beloved woman and punish the vicious and domineering main wife.
