Negotiating Peace (2)

Jiang Mingwei had learned the lesson in her previous life, and made a completely different choice in this life, but what the people around her said to her was surprisingly the same as previous life.

It was all about enduring, looking forward to a bright future, and ignoring the temporary unhappiness in front of her. Jiang Mingwei had an uneasy feeling because of all the similarities.

Moreover, even if Jiang Mingwei really became the final winner later on, the humiliation and pain she had to go through couldn’t be reversed. What was the point of being the winner then? On the other hand, Mu Mingtang was extravagant and did whatever she wanted from the start.

‘So, who will be the real winner?’

It did not matter what would happen in the future. For now, Jiang Mingwei was being overshadowed by the other party’s limelight. Therefore, she couldn’t accept the current situation, especially when the other person was Mu Mingtang.

In Jiang Mingwei’s previous life, when she died in a foreign country, Mu Mingtang was crowned Empress of the Ye dynasty. If she was still surpassed by Mu Mingtang even after rebirth, then what’s the point of her rebirth?

Seeing that Jiang Mingwei was still in a bad mood, the dowry maid once again tried to persuade her, “Princess, look far in the future. You are the mistress of the Jin palace and many people have high hopes for you. So please don’t ruin such a thing by paying attention to irrelevant people. Everything will be alright.”

Jiang Mingwei thought, ‘That’s right.’

She was Xie Xuanji’s main wife, and in this life, she was the one who married the male lead and became the only main wife of the male lead. No matter which woman came and went, whether she won or lost Xie Xuanji’s favour, no one could shake her position as the main wife of the future emperor.

Jiang Mingwei followed the wrong man in her previous life and died with hatred. She would never make the same mistakes again in this life. Moreover, she was certain that Xie Xuanji was the protagonist of the book.

Xie Xuanji was undoubtedly the winner of the novel. He was both wise and brave, with constant adventures. Although there were various twists and turns in the middle, in the end, he was destined to ascend the throne and become emperor with a golden robe on his body. Regarding Xie Xuanchen, his name was just briefly mentioned in the book’s background introduction.

Jiang Mingwei married Xie Xuanji successfully. She was meant to win big in the future without needing to do anything. Mu Mingtang, on the other hand, was mistaken from the start. Even if Mu Mingtang could surpass her right now, she was still heading in the wrong direction and would eventually meet a miserable end.

Jiang Mingwei felt at ease when she analysed the book’s plot, and even her initial fear seemed to have vanished. Her mental state became stable once again. She was not mistaken, and everything was currently happening in line with the plot of the book.

Jiang Mingwei recalled the plot again, and after confirming that it was the famous peace negotiation plot, she calmed down and asked the maid to fix her hair, and went outside.

There was a lot of activity in the palace right now, since an important feast for foreign envoys was about to take place. Nobody could afford to make even the slightest error. Jiang Mingwei, who had experienced this in the Lantern Festival, could not make a single mistake: if she made another error, things would go really nasty.
