Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage: Chapter 231 (Part 13)

Chapter 231: Return Of An Old Friend (Part 13)

“Your Majesty…” That old official still wanted to speak.

“Beloved Xu Official, Zhen remember than there are two young granddaughters in your house and they are of age.” Emperor Xiao Jing said.

That person was stunned and his heart became nervous but there was a little joy that peeked out. It was just that in the next moment the joy flew away as he heard the Emperor saying, “How about Zhen bestow them to the Young General Song at the Wu border?”

That young General Song was young and promising but unfortunately he was blinded in one eye on the battlefield and it was impossible for him to have any future.

‘Beloved Xu Official’ expression became like the soil.

“Zhen is not here to listen to your view or here to listen to your criticizing. Zhen is informing you of the result.” He sat on the throne and looked down at all the officials, “Zhen is the son of Heavens and the Master. If everyone have any opinion about court matters, just speak about it but if there is any words on managing Zhen’s Inner Palace or Zhen’s personal affairs, then Zhen will definitely,” He thought for a moment before continuing, “Pay it back with interest.”

“At that time, do not blame Zhen for disorderly creating married couples.” He said in a smiling yet not smiling manner.

He indeed was not like an Emperor as he was not serious or solemn enough but was even more dangerous than the Emperors of the past. He was not inferior in any respect to Emperor Yong Le. The more he appeared to be this indifferent, the more it made another’s heart thump. Everyone knew how black bellied this Prince Rui of First Rank was and once he targeted one, one would not even know how they died. The most important thing was that he completely disregards traditions and reputation, unfearing anything. Everyone believe that this Emperor Xiao Jing would definitely marry this high ranking official’s granddaughter to another official’s younger brother or making some other high ranking official’s grandson marry a daughter of their sworn enemy.

It was alright if the couple was mismatched. One feared that this was a method of control. If this was a way to contain them then, they would not even know how the family clan would weaken and die off.

No one would dare to gamble with the entire family clan as stakes.

Everyone was thinking to give it up. Currently it was a time of sweetness so just let Emperor Xiao Jing do whatever he wants. Maybe in some days’ time he would be tired of it or perhaps be fascinated by some new beauties. Men would be in true love at times of love and when they did not love, they would really have no love. Why do they need to do such thankless things here?

With such thoughts, all the officials seemed to have understood. They no longer said anything and some even started flattering, saying Emperor Xiao Jing and Furen’s deep love was like a legent.

Xie Jing Xing looked on coldly at the officials’ faces, as if looking at colourful masks that covered the world. He felt ridiculous but also somewhat in pity.

He half knelt down in front of Shen Miao.

The male that was kneeing down had gold under his feet and even if it was an ordinary male, it would be surprising to make such a move. Thus everyone was shocked as he was not an ordinary person but Great Liang’s Emperor, the master of the lands under Havens. But he was kneeling down in front of a female that devoutedly.

Shen Miao was supported by him well and seating at the highest position. She was changed into a gorgeous noble Palace robes by Tao GuGu and there were fine gold powder that was sprinkled at the end of her eyes, making her look full of arrogance. She wore the brightly golden robes of an Empress with eyes closed and long lashes hanging down, seemingly deep in sleep.

She was really very beautiful and tough female. Gao Zhang said that Shen Miao had an unfulfilled wish so she had the will to survive to her last breath and Gao Zhang was able to save her life.

And what was her last wish?

It was to see Xie Jing Xing one last time, to see Chu Yi and Shi Wu grow up or to say goodbye to Shen Xin and the rest?

Xie Jing Xing leaned over to her ears and joked, “Brought you to be an Empress, why not open one’s eyes to take a look?”

Shen Miao did not listen to his words. She was sleeping in her own world, as if she would be sleeping for a long time or her entire life.

Xie Jing Xing stared at her, “One know that you are tired. Wake up when you have enough sleep. Chu Yi and Shi Wu is looking for their mother.” He reached out and held onto Shen Miao’s cold hands, “I also miss you.”

The officials watched quietly as the young Emperor did everything. They had been swimming in this Imperial Court for so many years and the political seas were deep. Real and fake, genuine and pretense. Some times one was unable to differentiate one’s heart, much less being moved by others. Moreover Prince Rui had never been a good person previously and many of the officials here were almost ruined by him that they would gash their teeth with hate.

But at this moment they were somewhat reluctant to disturb this scene. As if through this scene of the Monarch and female, one saw some shadows of their youth.

Everyone had loved before. It was just whether the love would be able to last a lifetime or not. Beause it was too difficult thus many people given it up halfway. It was rare to be able to go all the way to the end.

Could Emperor Xiao Jing do it?

Xie Jing Xing placed the heavy Empress crown properly and stably on Shen Miao’s head. His movemnts were gentle and solemn, as if was like other actions.

He leaned over slightly and kissed the female’s eyes.

Time was blurred and went backwards very quickly, like it had returned back to a certain day before. He was riding a horse and still the arrongant youth and she was planning each stept against the Ming Qi’s Imperial family and protecting the Shen family. He asked, “Shen Miao, you want to be an Empress?”

No one had thought that he would become an Emperor at the end and she indeed became an Empress.

There were many twists and turns in the world but everything returned to the beginning.

Behind the golden hall, Luo Tan who was watching sneakingly covered her mouth, seeming to be crying and laughing as she whispered, “He really established Youngest Biao Sister as the Empress… Youngest Biao Sister did not see wrongly…”

Behind, Pei Lang was also smiled gently. That smile was filled with relief and some sorrow but it had more gratitude, “It is good.”

*****

During spring the apricot blossoms were in full bloom that when the breeze blew by, the petals would flutter down, spreading the flower scent around. The birds were perched on the branches chirping with eyes full of bustle.

Half a year was fleeting, so fast that almost no one could catch it.

For Long Ye’s commoners, the past half a year was pleasantly passed. Perhaps because Qin country and Ming Qi was wiped out, or perhaps because the new Emperor’s thoughts was just not the same. All in all, Emperor Xiao Jing was very competent.

He was very generous to the commoners and some of the new Imperial orders made everyone under Heavens clap their hands in joy. There was a rumour in the marketplace that because Emperor Xiao Jing like to travel around the country when he was young, he understood the hardships of the people and thus always put himself in the shoes of the commoners.

In any cause, Emperor Xiao Jing’s reputation among the commoners was one of protectiveness.

However in the Imperial court, it was not the case.

Ever since Emperor Yong Le was in power, he would take into consideration their face no matter what he did. However this Emperor Xiao Jing was a lawless master. He was generous to the commoners but harsh towards the court officials, much less talk about any feelings. Even those veteran officials would not be able to gain any benefit with him.

What was more frightening was how he balanced the powers everywhere and his scense of smell was more power than a mouse. Not to mention about any movement, even if there was any subtle thoughts, it would be discovered by him. The officials kept on being suspious if there were any traitors in their residence and would often clean up their residences.

The most dissatisfied thing that the officials had with him was that in this half a year, Emperor Xiao Jing really did not accept any beauty. There was only a sleeping Empress Shen in the entire Inner Palace.

This was indeed puzzling. At the beginning there were people that thought that he felt guilty towards Empress Shen and thus made that promise, moreover even if the position of the Empress was unshakable, there would not be any problem in accepting other females. However as the days went by, this Empress Xiao Jing’s Inner Palace was so clean that birds could be breed. Everyone then knew that he was not putting up an act.

Some people were suspicious that he was full of talk before and now was unable to pull himself down as it meant slapping himself. Thus they ‘considerately’ gifted the daughters in their residence but on the next day Emperor Xiao Jing bestow marriages to their sworn enemy’s sons. With that, the officials blew up.

Emperor Xiao Jing’s means was really toxic when he would bestow marriage to one’s sworn enemy. No only he would kick away all the females he did not want, he had smoonthly controlled the situation and warn all those officials that were itching to move… It was an arrow that pierced three eagles. He was just so evil.

Over time the officials dared not send beauties to Emperor Xiao Jing.

However rumours were not lessened. A hot blooded young man who did not have any female than a wife who is in a coma, it made others wonder if he was a broken sleeve.

But when the rumours were out, it did not seem to affect anything. The Emperor was a broken sleeve? He had two sons and one did not worry about who would be inheriting the Empire. Moreover this person was evil and the saying goes that evil ones would live for thousands of years, so one fear that he would live long.

All in all, the commoners took it as nothing and the officials became obedient.

The morning sun was shining particularly brightly as Tao GuGu carried two children to Xie Jing Xing and said worriedly, “Your Majesty is really bringing the two Princes out… For a trip?”

Xie Jing Xing had a baby in each hands and walk onto the carriage saying, “En.”

In the carriage, Shen Miao was sleeping. Xie Jing Xing looked at her with a headached and said, “Already slept for half a year, are you a pig?”

Chu Yi and Shi Wu waved their little hands and looked at Xie Jing Xing curiously. Xie Jing Xing said towards the people outside, “Depart!”

Tie Yi picked up the horse whip. After Master became the Emperor, he, the leader of Mo Yun Army, had become a horse keeper.

Xie Jing Xing was very fond of bring the children for trips outside. Even though Deng GongGong and Tang Shu did their best to stop it, they was unable as his martial arts skill were higher than them and was simply unstoppable. He had always said that by letting the children look at all the landscapes when they were young, then in the future they would not be blinded easily by the flashy world and thus able to know what they truly want in life.

This was in fact just an excuse. He just wanted to take Shen Miao out to play.

The horse carriage stopped at the shady part of the mountain. The scenery at the foot of the mountain was good.

Xie Jing Xing carried the children out and Mo Qing considerately brought out small plates of rice paste. Lately Chu Yi and Shi Wu was learning to eat rice paste and both children were so picky that getting them to eat it was harder than getting to Heavens.

Tie Yi carried Chu Yi and Mo Qing carried Shi Wu as Xie Jing Xing fed both of them the rice paste. Both of the children were not happy with it and it made one’s heart hurt.

Xie Jing Xing became angry and said, “Pass the children to me.”

He causually found a red strip of cloth that Jing Zhe used to tie the food basket and put Chu Yi in the basket to carry on his back and carried Shi Wu in front, ‘forcing’ Shi Wu to eat the rice paste.

Shi Wu kicked up a fuss and Xie Jing Xing pushed the Mo Yun Army people away and did not allow them to intervene. He really started fighting with the two kids.

A Monarch of a country had a baby tied to his back and carrying another in his arms. There was also a red flower strip of cloth that was tied as he fed the baby as if with great enimity.

Everyone in Mo Yun Army could not continue watching.

Shi Qu burst into tears and Chu Yi who was at the back seemed to have sense it and also started bawling. It was not only that as Xie Jing Xing felt a stream of warm on his body.

That was just great. It was pee.

He was so angry and was just about to tech those two stinky fellow when he suddenly heard Jing Zhe explaimed in shock, “Someone laughed!”

Everyone was startled.

Jing Zhe’s voice was somewhat trembling with excitement as she pointed to the horse carriage, “I just heard it!”

Shen Miao was sleeping in the carriage.

In a moment, the surrounding became quiet.

The breeze at the mountains seemed to touched everyone’s face and it was warm, yet brought a slight itch along, as if the sunlight was too handsome.

In the silence, one had heard clearly this time that there was indeed someone laughing. It was a gentle and familiar laughter with some closeness to it.

After a long time later, Xie Jing Xing strode over.

His hands was somewhat trembling but at the end, he made up his mind and pull open the carriage’s curtain.

The female’s brows were mild, as if it was the first bloom of the begonia and her voice was still lazy but the faint brightness in her eyes gave away her excitement.

She turned her head and smiled gently, “Long time no see, Young Marquis Xie.”

Translator: AND THAT’S THE END!!! I just love love love this CNovel so much and I am sure that lots of you would agree with me. I will be taking a break about 1 month-ish to edit all my previous releases since I actually cringed when reading the earlier ones (not that it is any better now). The side stories would be worked on after the edits are completed.

Do you want to be notified after every 5 releases are edited?

Strangely how he doing it didnt feel out of character 😂 and I still wonder what was happened to SM when she’s in coma? Back to her previous life or really just sleeping?

  4. I thought there was a part missing? Like when Shen Miao got another chance to relive her life again and she had to chase after XJX? I don’t think that was one of the side story? Or is it? 我有点儿忘了。Because what I remember from SM & XJX side story, XJX got jealous when he knew SM kissed XJX in the dream.

  5. Thank you very much for the whole journey!
    The ending felt kinda anti-climatic…I wanted to see everyone’s reaction and how everyone turned up.
    I really hope you could translate the side chapters first as most of us that finished the novel aren’t interested in re-reading the novel from the beginning, but more in finishing it and the editing doesn’t have to be personally done by you so I think it wouldn’t be a good use of your time.
    Nonetheless, this is up to date my favorite novel and thank you very much for bringing its translation into the world!

    I really wouldn’t mind if there is another 200 chapters, it’s really great and I liked every single thing but I felt that at the beginning she spent a long time dealing with her cousin and after that the time she spent dealing with the people became shorter and shorter and at the end she didn’t even see how the two people she hated the most have died. I liked how everything happened and how everyone ended but I can’t believe it ended, what should I do from now on? Do anyone have a recommendation?

    • Bah the ending is somewhat lacking. I actually was waiting for a great end but it ended just like that.

      Anyway, thank you for this novel. Its probably one of the most beautiful story I’ve read in my life and that’s saying something for me since I do read a lot. I started reading romance story since I was 9 and I’m 40 now. As a collector of a thousand historical romance books, I’ve read a lot of romance stories. This novel of yours is really something, I love the two lovely main pairs, a bit tragic love story but ended with them having twins and her as an empress without any love rival. I do like the male emperor xjx the best too.

      Looking forward to another of your great work in the future. I’ll stay tuned and keep a look at it when you do write a new one.

      • For me, I think surprisingly the ending seems simple but beautifully woven the loose end of Shen Miao pastlife with the present.
        It kinda symbolic like the pastlife is truly a dream and she at long last finally truly woke up from the bad dream. And her “Long time no see, Young Marquis Xie” indicates that. Since remember her soul that accompany XJX to flatten her kingdom before? It is like she finally had the ability to finally spoke to him of how long that journey is where she is unable to greet him as Young Marquis Xie. At long last, she is finally able to fulfilled that. After all, it should be more reasonable to say Long time no see, Your Majesty Xie or simply XJX name, yet she used “Marquis”. And the fact her beautiful laughter resonates to their ears when in the pastlife, accompanying the palace burning, her sigh is only heard by the wind. Her lost children is compensated, with caring and patient father no matter what kind of fussing they did. Her loyal servants alive and surrounds her.
        Her eyes that is blinded by revenge (the curtain) is finally lifted with the help of her loving husband that love no other than her (XJX’s pulling open the curtain)… The last sentence gives flavor of,
        Long time no see and lets continue our journey from here on.
        As ending that is much better for me in terms of writing. To fulfill reader thirst of happy family reunion, Shen Miao Empress life, etc; I think that is where extras come to the line. I hope to see Shen family reunite with XJX little family there.

  14. I teared up a little at the part of Jing Xing opening the curtain and Jiao Jiao greeting “Young Master Xie”. They never changed yet everything had changed for better. Chu Yi peed on his dad (so naughty) and Shi Wu refused to eat (so fussy), they are still 6 months old, they had 3 months more to torment their dad on behalf of their mother 😂

    Its been a long journey. From Jiao Jiao being exhaustive to her finally feeling refreshed, we had come here with great efforts. Thank you for persisting until now Zaza. This novel is great and we won’t be able to see the greatness without you 💕

    • Thank you for the journey!!! I love this novel so much and I’m thankful for all your hard work!! … Also the correct saying is a cut sleeve not a broken sleeve… “There once was a gay emporer who cut his sleeve in order to not disturb the sleeping beauty (a man) laying on his arms to attend morning court. When he finally showed up to court he had part of his sleeve cut showing proof of his love towards the man. Cut sleeves was than known for the notorious meaning of men being gay.”

      Sorry for trying to correct you (>^<)but I'm into reaaallly gay novels so i knew what you meant when you said "broken sleeve"😂 idk if that's also the right prononcialtian or has the same meaning as a cut sleeve but ive only ever read cut sleeve mentioned in most of the novels ive read.

    • CALM DOWN PEOPLE!

      There are side stories.. asian novels (typically japanese, korean and chinese) usually do that to tie up lose ends and as fan service.

      Zaza said she’s gonna do them after she edits all the main chapters.. so let’s all be like XJX and wait with patience. Look for some other novels for distractions.
      I recommend to look them up at NovelUpdates.. search for this novel and have a read the recommendations.

      Or.. u can even help Zaza edit if your english is good enough?
