Princess Zheng did not give in at all. In the past, she always tried her best to please Prince Zheng. If Prince Zheng didn't like something, she would never say anything once she noticed it. But now, she didn't care about so many things, and she didn't care whether Prince Zheng would get angry when he heard her words.
She sneered and gritted her teeth and asked back, "Am I wrong?! Who is being unreasonable?! In your heart, we are incomparable to anyone, even worse than a dead person! When Bao Ge'er was so seriously ill, we informed you, but did you come back to take a look? You went to Puci Temple without stopping at all. In your heart, nothing can compare to them! Since you look down on Bao Ge'er and me, you might as well let us go like this, which is better!"
She really felt wronged. Seeing Bao Ge'er still crying loudly and Prince Zheng clumsily hugging him to comfort him, she sneered and opened her arms to pull Bao Ge'er: "Bao Ge'er! Come here! Since your father has determined that your mother is not a good person and your mother has made the princess angry, we should be more conscious and not make him unhappy!"
It turns out that the problem really lies in the previous sacrifice of the young fish.
Prince Zheng had not expected that the usually docile Madam Ding could be so aggressive when she got angry. After a while, he immediately handed Baoger over to Madam Ding who had been persuading the princess: "Take the child away. You are making so much noise. Look how scared the child is!!"
Mother Ding knew that he was angry, so she didn't dare to disobey him. She took Baoger and took him out to the wet nurse without any intention of staying. When she came back, she hurriedly smiled and advised Prince Zheng: "Your Highness, please forgive me. The princess was distracted for a moment... Don't bother with her..."
King Zheng looked back at her and waved his hand to send her out: "Stop talking. I have something to say to your princess. Please go out first."
Prince Zheng did not want to scold the princess in front of the servants, as this would be tantamount to losing his own face.
Mother Ding understood immediately and responded hurriedly. At the same time, she gave Princess Zheng a look that told her not to make any more trouble, and then went out anxiously.
There were only the two of them left in the room, and King Zheng looked at her with a sullen face: "So it was really because of the young fish incident that you bear a grudge against us?"
Princess Zheng turned away and ignored these words.
King Zheng ignored her and continued, "If it's because of this, then I have nothing to say. Yu You came first and you came later. She was my first wife and you were my second wife. I thought you knew it. I have said it many times before. Yu You is dead. You gave birth to Bao Ge'er for me. I will definitely treat you well. You will have everything that others have. Have I ever broken my promise? Have I ever told you a lie?"
Princess Zheng moved her lips as if she wanted to refute, but in the end, she said nothing.
King Zheng then said calmly, "I know that people are never satisfied. Once they get this, they will want that. But people should not be too greedy. I have given you everything I promised. If you want me to do something against my will, I really can't do it. As for who I value more, it's nonsense. Does my emphasis on An An affect my emphasis on Bao Ge'er? What I gave to An An, how do you know I won't give it to Bao Ge'er in the future? There is no such thing as distinguishing the importance of children. You are just making trouble for no reason."
It was already unfair to Princess Zheng that she couldn't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant.
How can a son and a daughter be the same? How can a prince and a princess be the same
But in King Zheng's heart, he had to elevate Wei An in this way.
She didn't speak.
King Zheng continued, "It seems that because of this, you are resentful, so An An saw it, right? You must have ridiculed her before, right? She refused to admit that it was wrong to sacrifice to Ming Yuyou before, and she refused to please you according to your wishes and promised to persuade me not to delay your business because of Yuyou, so you drove her away, right?"
Princess Zheng bit her lip and said nothing. After a while, she sneered, "Yes, Your Majesty's guess is really accurate."
"It's nothing." Prince Zheng didn't know what he was answering or what he was saying, but his face suddenly darkened. He said coldly to Princess Zheng: "If you are going to be angry about this, you will be angry forever. Because of this, no one can change anything, even the current emperor. If you continue like this, then at most, An An will never come to pay respect to you again, and you won't see each other. Then there will be no conflict, and you won't be angry when you see her."
What does that mean?! You want Wei An to never come to pay her respects again?!
Princess Zheng stared at him, feeling a little scared.
Prince Zheng did not wait for her to reply, and continued slowly: "Or, if you don't want to be the princess anymore and feel wronged, that's not impossible. I am different from other people. I don't care about these face issues. If you are unhappy and want to find someone who values you more, that's fine. I will ask the emperor for permission. If the emperor refuses, then you can wait until my fifth brother... then ask my fifth brother to agree, and it will be the same."
He even said something like this!
What he meant was that he could let her divorce!
How could there be such a prince and man!
Princess Zheng was stunned, not knowing how to react. She looked at the person in front of her and couldn't say a word.
Prince Zheng stopped talking, stood up, opened the curtain and came out, and ordered Madam Ding, who was standing by the door anxiously, "Go find the imperial physician. You are the elder in front of your princess, so persuade her more. If anything happens to Bao-ge, all of you will be to blame."
He didn't get angry, but Mother Ding felt her whole body soaked with cold sweat. She replied stiffly, and as soon as he left, she hurried in to see Princess Zheng.
Mrs. Ding had obviously heard the conversation outside. She could no longer tolerate it and threw a candlestick on the antique shelf to the ground. She looked at Mrs. Ding angrily and said, "Look, he treated me like this!"
Mother Ding was at a loss, and felt deeply that her master's current mood was not right, but she could not do anything about the princess. Although she was the princess's closest servant, she was just a servant after all. In the past, the princess would listen to her when she was in trouble, but now it was different from before. The princess would not listen to what she said.
For a moment, the only sound in the room was the sobbing of Princess Zheng. (To be continued)
