Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

222-223

Chapter 222: Fu Ming

"One heard that Prince Rui has a lot of feelings for Rui WangFei currently." Ye Ke said, "A few days ago, one heard that both of them toured Long Ye hands to hands. It can be seen that Prince Rui love Shen Miao to the bones. Speaking of which, that Shen Miao's appearance is not as good as yours so one do not know how could another party be fascinated by her." Ye Ke looked towards Ye Mei, "Does Older Sister still wants to enter the residence of Prince Rui."

Ye Mei was somewhat upset. She was totally unable to showcase her superiority in front of Xie Yan. When she was in Qin province previously, she would be invincible to whichever man that she wanted to make use of. However when facing Xie Yuan, she always felt that there was nowhere to start. Xie Yuan did not pay any attention to her and Ye Mei could feel in the gaze that Xie Jing Xing use when he looked at her, it was no different from looking at Lu Wan-er or any other daughters of Great Liang officials. She felt that she could not subdue Xie Yuan at all because Xie Yuan did not view her as a female.

Thinking about that, Ye Mei spoke evadingly, "Let's talk about it later and since Ye Mao Cai did not mention of this matter at the time being, one do not need to think more about it. The most urgent task on hand is to find out what problems is happening to the Ye family. If the Ye family collapse one day, it cannot implicate us so it is better to make plans early.

"Actually..." Ye Ke hummed and hawed, "Previously Ye Mao Cai can to look for me once and have some thoughts of wanting you to enter the Palace."

Entering the Palace? Ye Mei's heart jumped and she suddenly laughed. She had a variety of laughter but it was somewhat meaningful, "Ye Mao Cai saw that it was difficult to hook up with Xie Yuan so he let me climb into the Imperial family?"

Entering the Palace naturally did not mean entering the Palace ordinary but entering the Palace to be the Emperor's woman. Ye Mei sneered, "It is very strange that there is not even a descendent in the Palace so there must be some queer circumstances. If I enter the Palace and do not have any children, one would not have any support for a hundred years. If the Emperor passed on, would one even need to accompany him for burial? Ye Mao Cai only have thoughts of having good relations with the Imperial family and did not care about my life and death. I will not enter the Palace. Let him end such thoughts." At the end of her words, there was some viciousness in it.

It was not that Ye Mei did not think about entering the Palace but it was because she had always been good and analysing the pros and cons. Currently the Emperor did not have any children and one feared that it was the Emperor that was having the problem so how long could a female without any son be able to live in the Inner Palace? Not mentioning the Inner Palace, even if it was the Inner Courtyard of a big family, death was the only route if one did not have a son. It was both shrinking one's head and keeping ones thoughts to one's mind for an entire lifetime but these were not what Ye Mei wanted. She wanted to climb up, and continue to go up to enjoy power and benefits and these are more important than entering the Palace to be the Emperor's woman.

Ye Ke was somewhat awkward, "I also guessed that you would think as such and immediately told Ye Mao Cai that it is not possible."

"Oh?" Ye Mei took a glance at him and said fluttering, "You really told him like this?"

Ye Ke avoided Ye Mei's gaze and said, "Older Sister, you still don't believe in me?"

Ye Mei smiled but one did not know what was the meaning behind the smile, "In short, both you and I have to be aware of one's identity. The Ye family is not our real home and the Ye family people are not family, moreover the Ye family have their selfish thoughts. I will find ways to figure out what is actually going on with the Ye family and what kind of plans do they have. If there is a day where the Ye family fall into misfortune, both of us must not fall in together and it is the best if we could withdraw safely."
