Experience is gained through countless losses. After going through so many things, if one learns from each failure, then Princess Linjiang believes that she has probably gained a lot of wisdom.
At least I know exactly what should be done and what should not be done, what will anger King Linjiang and what will make him happy.
In the past, she couldn't see clearly, and her likes and dislikes were all clearly stated.
Even Shen Chen was treated harshly under the nose of Prince Linjiang. She wished that everyone in the world would know her disgust for Shen Chen and his mother.
But all this is in the past. She had already had enough quarrels with King Linjiang because of Shen Chen, and now, the little affection they had between them had all been worn away by Shen Chen.
In the past, her marriage to Prince Linjiang was arranged by her parents and matchmaker. They were just an ordinary couple, and the feelings they had accumulated were not fake.
But later, because of the interference of Concubine Yu, her resentment towards Prince Linjiang gradually deepened. Concubine Yu was brought back from the house of a subordinate official by Prince Linjiang after he got drunk.
At that time, it was heard that the two of them had mistakenly entered a courtyard, so Prince Linjiang had to bring the people back to save the face of the Peng family.
But she felt that things were not that simple.
How could it be such a coincidence? I'm afraid it's just that the goddess has the intention and the king has the dream.
Which man doesn’t like Concubine Yu’s charming face
The two people who already had a grudge against each other became even more resentful after Shen Chen came to the palace.
At that time, she was feeling unhappy because of Concubine Yu's matter. She was dissatisfied with everything, and Shen Chen was even more dissatisfied with her. When she saw how much Prince Linjiang doted on Shen Chen, she felt uncomfortable for some reason.
She had indeed embarrassed Shen Chen many times without making a sound.
At that time, Shen Chen was still young, just a child and had no ability to fight back.
She specifically had the tablets of Princess Changle and Shen Cong placed in his room, asked the nanny to tell him those strange stories, and then went outside the door to listen to the crying of the young Shen Chen.
After doing this for a while, she signaled Chu Jingxing to bully him again.
Shen Chen's early days were indeed very difficult. Prince Linjiang was very busy, busy trying to find out the truth for Shen Cong and busy trying to protect himself. During that period, Emperor Longqing had just ascended the throne, and he disliked everyone and saw them as a threat. In addition, Prince Cheng was eyeing him covetously, so Prince Linjiang lived in fear.
After she found out that Prince Linjiang didn't care about Shen Chen, she became more and more excessive.
At first, he was cold in his words, condoning the bullying of Chu Jingxing and Chu Jingan, and then he slowly began to make innuendos and harsh accusations.
Because she doesn't care, the people below her naturally don't care either.
Shen Chen once sneaked out of the house, saying he was going to look for his parents, and then disappeared.
She kept it a secret at first and didn't let King Linjiang know.
But later, after failing to find Shen Chen for several days, she finally couldn't hide it anymore.
When Prince Linjiang found out about this, he was furious. For the first time since their marriage, he scolded her for this matter and asked her to go back to her parents' home.
Her health was not good to begin with, and after giving birth, Prince Linjiang had little time to take care of her. He was busy dealing with Shen Cong and the others, and brought Shen Chen to the palace.
The resentment in her heart grew even deeper, and she maliciously wished that Shen Chen would just die outside, so that she could have some peace and quiet. After a while, things would eventually pass.
But things don't always go as planned. Shen Chen was found and brought back by King Linjiang in a dying state.
From then on, their relationship completely changed. Prince Linjiang no longer trusted her and refused to entrust Shen Chen's affairs to her. Even Concubine Yu could not interfere in Shen Chen's affairs. He personally brought Shen Chen with him, found a teacher for him, and found a nanny to serve him, and refused to let them interfere.
She finally realized that she couldn't force it, so she reluctantly lowered her head to please King Linjiang and tried to be nice to Shen Chen. However, the resentment in her heart grew little by little because her son was ignored.
Thinking of these past events, Princess Linjiang became furious and couldn't help but slam the table heavily.
The loud bang frightened Nanny Qin so much that she almost dropped the ivory comb in her hand. She looked at Princess Linjiang and knew that she was thinking about the past again, so she advised her: "You should be patient..."
If it were to be like before, with everything said and done but nothing done, this time the matter would not be so easily resolved. Just as the princess had said, King Linjiang's patience with her had reached its limit.
If she made any more mistakes, she would be handing a knife directly to Concubine Yu.
Concubine Yu is now rising rapidly in status and is increasingly trusted by the prince. The fear is that Princess Linjiang will lose her patience and make herself appear even more passive.
Princess Linjiang's anger subsided instantly, as if she had really figured things out in front of the Buddha. She seemed to have become clear-headed. She smiled gently, and the murderous look in her eyes disappeared completely: "Don't worry, I won't do those stupid things again. Don't ask about Xue Changshi's affairs. It's been so long since I received a letter. Don't hold out any more hope. Something must have happened to him."
But there is no need to worry. Although it is a pity, she knows that Xue Changshi will not report her.
Even if she really did report it, Xue Changshi had no evidence against her. Just in case, she dictated her reply to Xue Changshi's confidant. It was just a few short sentences and no evidence was left behind.
Moreover, there is no news in the capital that Xue Changshi has been captured. That means if something happened, it must have been Shen Chen and Wei An who captured Xue Changshi secretly.
There was no need to worry about anything. They arrested Xue Changshi just to find out who was the mastermind behind him. If she asked again, she would fall into their trap.
It would be better to let Xue Changshi fend for himself.
Anyway, she was locked up in the temple before, so what could have anything to do with her
Even if Lu Yuanrong is not someone that Xue Changshi can control, is there any evidence
Seeing that she had calmed down, Nanny Qin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She agreed and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I won't get involved."
Princess Linjiang nodded with satisfaction.
Just as Nanny Qin was about to leave, Qingshuang, who had been outside, came in with a cheerful look on her face. She smiled at Princess Linjiang and Nanny Qin and said, "Princess, Nanny, someone just sent a message in saying that the prince said he wanted to have lunch with us."
After a moment of silence, Nanny Qin couldn't help but laugh: "Really? This is really great news. Since the prince is coming, then... I will go to the small kitchen and tell them to prepare carefully so that we can welcome the prince."
King Linjiang hasn't entered this door for a long time, so of course he has to be well prepared. (To be continued)
