Chapter 974 - 974 Cold Moon (1)
974 Cold Moon (1)
Li Mei’s waist was slender, and her movements were graceful. Her eyes were sparkling, and wherever she looked, people were infatuated. She was like a butterfly, tickling people’s hearts. They thought that the butterfly was about to stop in their hands, but all of a sudden, it flew away, making them want to catch it.
The women couldn’t take their eyes off her, let alone the men. Men always liked good-looking things, and their eyes were almost glued to Li Mei. Madam Ye and Ye Maocai gradually revealed smug expressions. No family in the Daliang Dynasty had such a beautiful and talented daughter.
Lu Wan’er gritted her teeth in anger and jealousy.
Shen Miao watched coldly as Li Mei danced, her thoughts wandering back to her previous life.
The first time she saw Consort Mei was when she returned to the capital from the State of Qin. She only heard that there was an additional consort in the palace called “Consort Mei”. Shen Miao heard that Fu Xiuyi doted on Consort Mei a lot. Although Shen Miao felt sad, she did not think much of it. She thought that with Fu Xiuyi’s cold personality, no matter how much he doted on someone, he would not go too far.
Then, she went to the imperial study to look for Fu Xiuyi, wanting to talk to him about something serious, but she saw Consort Mei throwing Fu Xiuyi’s paperweight in the imperial study. On the day she returned to the palace, Consort Mei said that she was sick and did not come to greet her. This was the first time Shen Miao had seen Consort Mei. Shen Miao saw that the woman was beautiful, and her smile was like a painting. However, she was arrogant and unreasonable. She actually threw a tantrum in the imperial study. Shen Miao thought that Fu Xiuyi would flare up, and Fu Xiuyi was indeed angry, but Consort Mei actually turned around and left.
At that time, Shen Miao thought to herself, What a fierce woman. How long could she live in the harem with such a personality?
At that time, she was busy asking about Wanyu and Fu Ming, so she did not pay much attention to Consort Mei. She only felt that that woman was extremely beautiful and arrogant.
However, even if Fu Xiuyi was so angry, the next morning, Shen Miao still saw Fu Xiuyi taking a walk with Consort Mei in the royal garden. His tone was quite doting.
Shen Miao ws stunned. She had never seen Fu Xiuyi like this before, and Fu Xiuyi was never such a good-tempered person. Fu Xiuyi only showed his good sides to his valued aides. He had never been very patient with women. However, Consort Mei had just angered him yesterday, and she could make Fu Xiuyi smile from ear to ear the next day. At that time, Shen Miao suddenly realized that this woman was not only beautiful and arrogant, but also very dangerous, because she could wrap people around in her fingers. In short, she had successfully won Fu Xiuyi’s heart.
As expected, Shen Miao gradually realized that this Consort Mei was really scary. She looked arrogant and rude, not restraining her temper at all. However, because of that, Fu Xiuyi found her difficult to tame and became more and more fascinated with her. When facing Shen Miao, Consort Mei was rude, mocking, and antagonistic. She had repeatedly tried to sow discord between Fu Ming and Fu Xiuyi.
What was Consort Mei’s true motive? Shen Miao looked at the charming woman in front of her. In this life, Consort Mei had become the daughter of the Ye family. She was cautious, smart, and restrained. She no longer showed her arrogant side. However, was this really her true colors?
Having been in contact with Consort Mei for her entire life, Shen Miao knew how terrifying she was. She was a cunning woman who would fight for whatever she wanted using whatever means she had.
