Chapter 36: Purple Clad Youth

The most supreme was the Imperial power. But more powerful than the Imperial power were the commoner’s mouths.

Of course one could use iron and bloody methods to suppress them down but till that day comes, the commoners dare not to speak nonsense and words would only spread through jokes and would not be a big offence.

The Imperial family of Ming Qi was probably like this, inwardly they had obviously done so many filthy deeds but to the outside world, they still put on a farce of being devoted to the empire. They have no qualms to receive the aristocratic families’ sacrifices and protection but at the end still wanted to beat them down.

Hearing Shen Miao’s remarks, everyone started to gradually quietened down.

Daughters were thinking of the glory of their ancestors, if they were from military lineage they would be moved. As for male students, as they were at the age when they were hot-blooded, they naturally worshipped heroes since soldiers who fought in the battlefields would be admired wherever they went.

But there were some people who were not so happy.

The three Princes of Ming Qi that were present all coincidentally frowned. Others may not know but they knew what the Imperial family’s intention for the aristocratic families were. The Shen family was a tall tree that attracted the wind and sooner or later will be eradicated by the Emperor with some excuse. Due to the uncontrollable good reputation of the Shen family on the commoners, it would not be an overnight matter to bring them down. For Shen Miao to say such words, it seems to be mourning for the fallen soldiers but in fact eulogising the meritorious achievements and put officers and soldiers in the stage where everyone was looking. If the Imperial family did any shred of inappropriate, by virtue, they would be in the wrong.

Were her actions intentional?

Everyone looked up and stayed silent after the young lady finished speaking. Her robes were slightly large and made fluttering sound as the cold wind blew past it, making her stature endlessly fragile.

Most likely her thoughts had strayed off since she was an unmarried daughter. This time the reason she uncharacteristically came out onto the top position was because she was Shen Xin’s daughter and it was just a coincidence that he spoke about the events of a battlefield.

Prince Yu’s of first rank eyes followed closely with the purple clad young lady and after a moment he suddenly gave a profound smile, “This Shen family’s daughter is indeed very interesting.”

No one knew why but when Prince Yu said these words, Pei Lang and Fu Xiu Yi frowned at the same time as a bad premonition hinted in their hearts.

Prince Zhou heard it and asked meaningfully, “Does Royal Uncle fancy that young lady from the Shen family? According to the rumours, the young lady from the Shen family is an ignorant idiot but now it seems she is not. She is clever, eloquent and look not so bad. If there would be a Royal sister-in-law…” His laughter was extremely uncouth, “That would be very interesting.”

Prince Jing thought further than his older blood brother. As of now, even if the Imperial family was determined to suppress the Shen family, the Shen family had the military power and it was like an idiot carrying a treasure. If any of the princes acquired the Shen family’s assistance, it would be a huge bargaining chip on the road to the throne. However if Shen Miao married Prince Yu, since he had no more energy to fight for the highest position, it would be equivalent to placing the military power back to the Imperial family and perhaps the best method of not letting any prince covet after it.

Thinking about this, Prince Jing nodded, “The Young Lady of the Shen family is shrewd and creative. If Royal Uncle feels good, that would be understandable.”

Fu Xiu Yi’s brows wrinkled much more. He naturally took into account what Prince Jing thought about. He knew that if Shen Miao were to marry into Prince Yu residence, it would be a hundred advantage and no harm to him at all. First of all, he could free himself from Shen Miao’s entanglement and there would be one less joke about him. Second was that Shen Xin’s military power was an extremely hot potato and even if he intended to use it, he was afraid that it would ignite the Emperor’s suspicion. It would be better to be placed in Prince Yu residence and wait for an opportunity to use it. But he did not know why there was an annoying feeling in his heart, like it was not right to do it like that.

Pei Lang worriedly looked at Shen Miao who was coming down from the state. She leisurely walked down with a calm expression as she most likely did not know that her own destiny was already in the hands of these sons of the Imperial family. He sighed in his heart, after all they were teacher and student but he was just a small and low ranked teacher who was unable to change anything and could only feel sorry for Shen Miao in his heart.

Prince Yu waved his hands somewhat impatiently and even though he did not seem necessarily happy, there was some ruthlessness in his smile, “Royal nephew, Benwang does not necessarily not know what your intentions are. Prince Yu’s residence cannot swallow such a big Buddha like the Shen family.” His eyes landed on his own crippled leg, “But Young Lady Shen is interesting and it would not be bad to play with her.”

Su Ming Feng glanced over to this side. He was seated closer to Fu Xiu Yi and the rest, and looked as if he was seriously watching the situation on the stage but there were some grievances in his heart. Even if Shen Miao was an idiot or stupid, if she was eyed by Prince Yu, everything would point to disaster. It would be fortunate if Shen Xin was in the Ding capital but unfortunately he would only return after the end of the year. Without her father or older brother to protect her, how would a young lady be able to compete with these vicious wolves?

As if he had already expected what tragic ending would happen, Su Ming Feng sighed and brought Su Ming Lang to Master Su before leaving the banquet area.
Shen Miao was unaware of the changing situation at the male side of the banquet. Jing Zhe was very happy for Shen Miao but it was Shen Yue who was finally unable to maintain a good expression and left the banquet somewhat stiffly.

After the female group of examinations, it was time for the male group to take their turn. There were already many young ladies who had left the banquet after taking the examinations. Feng An Ning followed beside Shen Miao and this previously proud young lady finally showed a convinced look to Shen Miao before saying, “What you did just now was really good. It was really great.”

Shen Miao replied plainly, “You were also good.”

Mostly likely Feng An Ning was thinking about receiving the first rank for ‘qin’ category as she said smilingly, “Time cannot defeat determination. I will go to the carriage to pick up something, wait for me here.”

After Feng An Ning left, Shen Miao walked to the middle of Bei Yan Tang’s plum blossom forest to wait for her. In this season, the plum blossoms had not yet flourished and the trees were very lush.

Gu Yu walked out from inside and looked around before whispering, “Young Lady, had already sent it to the Young Master of the Historian Adviser Jing by bribing the footboy from outside to switch it to ensure that it was secure.”

“Very good.” Shen Miao said.

Gu Yu was somewhat confused and did not understand why her own Young Lady would do such a thing. There was no possibility of her own Young Lady to be familiar with the Young Master of the Historian Adviser Jing.

Just at the same time, one heard a chuckle from up above one’s head. The three of them raised their heads and saw that near the top of the branches there was a purple figure floating down and fell in front of them.

That purple clad youth was so handsome that he did not look like a mortal. He folded his hands across his chest as he leaned against the trunk of the tree and there was a smile but not really a smile on his lips as his eyes brought out a chilly cold look that was like Ding capital’s winter night.

It was Xie Jing Xing.

  6. “Young Lady, had already sent it to the Young Master of the Historian Adviser Jing by bribing the footboy from outside to switch it to entire that it was secure.” – the word ‘entire’ is out of place, could it possibly be ‘ ensure’?

  7. And so… The male lead appears!!!

    I wonder if he saw her performance?
    I wonder what he thought…

    😄💕😍

    And most especially, he’s probably wise enough to understand how her words would stir those in position, as he knows enough to keep warnong SMF about the Su family’s predicament before. So how’s his position going to be after realizing our little empress just subtly declared war against the imperial family?

    Damn, the imperial family really needs to be taught a harsh lesson. I don’t like a single one along them. Tch.

    Thamks for the update!!!

    You saw that xie jing xing? Saw her capabilities and intentions? It was her who really gave out a warning for you and your friend’s family, and not some other shen uncles, ok? 😉😉

  21. Kyaaa~~ he finally appeared! Matching colour with Shen Miao too!😍😍😍
    I wonder if he heard SM’s speech?

    Damn those princes. Always the cunning pigs. I can’t wait to see them burn by the our Empress’ wrath.
    Still curious how she’ll overcome this predicament since it will be totaly different than the past. She will definitely won’t throw away her dignity again by going to FXY.

    Could it be XJX will take over? Or the brother will finally be back to protect her? Or like always, she solve it herself? Gahh, my curiosity is going crazy that it might kill a cat!!😣😣

    Thanks for the chapter!

    • It is not mentioned in the novel, but I guessed that he had heard it and would have scoffed at SM for saying that since he would have read through it 😛

  31. Lol, just you wait imperial family, you just got yourself a terrible enemy in our little empress that will completely crush you without leaving any traces behind hehe !! I don’t really like any of the princes, yikes, they’re all disgusting and so freaking selfish and power-hungry. They all think that SM is only lucky this time, or just simple lady that heard these ideas from her father – just wait until she shocks them all again in the examinations lolol!!

    And omggg finally the XJX is here again, and hahaha they match~ When I read the title of this chapter, I just Knew™ it was him lol! I wonder if he saw our wonderful SM’s performance, and if he heard what her and her maid were discussing – he’s probably quite suspicious of her, especially since he knows of her reputation by now lol. Can’t wait to see what will happen between them!!

    Thank you for your hard work!! 💖 💖 💖

    • This Imperial family seemed to be the most disgusting and hateful one I read so far… It will be great if SM take care of them early on so we do not need to read about them…

  33. And he appears! I wonder if he’d watched the entire competition (or at least the painting one). He heard what Gu Yu had said for sure. Ahhhh, the excitement. The only sad thing is that he’s kinda cold to her (because they’re supposed to be rival families).

    Thank you for the translation as always! ❤

  41. They do realize that if she married that serial killer, and he killed her, then her father would likely raise a rebellion and kill them all don’t they? Or are they so certain that they could survive his wrath?

    That handmaid has really loose lips. She should have just said that the task was done and left it at that.

    • I think the entire capital knows he doesn’t protect his daughter. Why would anyone think he’d incite something as big as a rebellion for her. To everyone looking, she’s not favored at all, besides being an only daughter.

  42. uhm i read the edited translation on drive after i’ve read yours and i noticed something : you accidentally deleted one paragraph about the prince yi having countless women by his side and prince zhou being heartless for letting shen miao going with such a murder:
    “Prince Yu was currently over forty years of age and he was cruel and vicious. There were countless of women that were played to death by him and if Shen Miao was to fall into his hands, it would not be long before the fragrance diminished and the jade perished. Prince Zhou’s remarks could be described as being somewhat out of line, but he had an arrogant temperament and others would not feel strange if he said it out. But there was no virtue at all to put a budding beauty into the tiger’s mouth for no rhyme or reason.” As the edited version is alternative version of the original and the text being corrected afterwards, i thought you uninvoluntarily deleted it^^’
    Thanks for the chappy hope ill soon catch up this story is sooo perfecttt

  43. Su Ming Lang – why is he the praised on of his pair of brothers? His younger brother is much more courageous and smart. Su Ming Lang.. I don’t know what will happen in later chapters, but he heard her life is about to be played with… and I don’t think he will warn her. I don’t like him. I love his glutinous rice-ball brother!

    Thanks for translating.

    Maybe because he wanted to be the one to manipulate her!
