Princess Changying has always had this kind of personality. Perhaps it was because she was used to fawning and flattering others in the past. Now that she no longer has to fawn on others, her temper has become even worse.
She can't stand anyone who is more arrogant than her, or anyone who shows off in front of her.
Even when getting along with Princess Chang'an, she would not tolerate Princess Chang'an being superior to her. She was an extremely difficult person to serve.
She likes to say things in a very decisive way. Either you become her lover or you become her enemy. There is no other choice.
But what bothered Li Shao the most was his mother's ability to exaggerate everything, no matter what it was. She always had to exaggerate it to the extreme and make it sound extremely scary to achieve her goal.
He sighed, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for his mother. He pushed her closer and shook his head gently: "It's not that bad. Mother, don't be so discouraged. My sister has never experienced anything. If you continue like this, she will be even more sad."
Princess Changying came back to her senses and asked quickly, "Didn't you ask Aunt Shi to accompany you? Why are you crying again? Didn't Ah Sheng come?"
The people who asked the questions were confused, but Li Shao was obviously prepared. He shook his head slowly: "Of course I was with you. Ah Sheng also tried to persuade her for a long time, but you know Ah Gui's temper. She is like you, so how can she be willing? This fight will probably take at least a year or so to end."
Princess Changying leaned stiffly on the large pillow behind her. Her eyes seemed to hold a knife. She snorted after a long while.
Shen Chen and the others are really annoying.
There is nothing else to do but rush to open a market.
As she thought so, her words revealed her dissatisfaction with Shen Chen and Xianrong County Master's brother Yuan Hongwen.
Yuan Hongwen had a good name as it contained the character "元香港" (meaning "meaning" in Chinese), but he was actually a hopeless person. Apart from cockfighting and dog running, he was not good at anything else. What's worse, he loved to flirt with other girls. At the age of seventeen, even with the status of a princess's mansion, he could not marry a girl of his choice. Those sycophantic princesses naturally looked down on him, but those girls from good families with a clean record were afraid of ruining their daughters, so he was stuck in a dilemma.
All he does all day is fool around with Shen Chen and the others.
Princess Changying felt a toothache whenever she thought of Shen Chen.
She has never liked Changle, as Changle is a mild-mannered person. However, her brother, Prince Linjiang, is not. They are brothers from the same mother and always stand up for her in everything. The late emperor also dotes on her and put a lot of effort into choosing a son-in-law for her. In the end, he chose Shen Cong, the young and promising son of Pingxi Marquis, who is also known as the young jade among the nobles.
Shen Cong was also allowed to continue to hold the position. Taking into consideration that Shen Cong had no blood brothers, although she was given the Princess Changle's Mansion, she was allowed not to live there and be the Shen family's headmistress.
She remembers all those who are better than her.
Later, the Shen family fell into misfortune. Shen Liang relied on the power of his wife's family, Rongchang Marquis' family, to bully Princess Changle and her widowed mother. Princess Chang'an once offered to help, but she just stood by and watched, without even getting involved.
I was afraid that Changle would really be taken out of the mud ditch.
Later, Changle died, but he still hadn't gotten over it. Although the dynasty changed and Emperor Longqing became the emperor, Prince Linjiang still refused to give in and almost burned down the Shen family ancestral hall under pressure.
He looked at the princesses with a frosty face, sneered and scolded them for being heartless and ungrateful.
She had never been scolded like this in her life, and from then on she looked at that family with even colder eyes.
But there is one thing, although she has a bad temper and flatters the powerful and bullies the weak, she never does stupid things like riding the fence and grabbing grass from both sides. For so many years, all the vassal brothers have kept their distance from her, and she was wholeheartedly close to Emperor Longqing.
Emperor Longqing had to be on guard against his brothers who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers, but he was always kind to his sisters and was happy to give them respect.
The Li family has become more and more law-abiding in recent years, without any messy affairs. They are a noble family and do not seek power. No matter how you look at it, they are a good family. Emperor Longqing even wanted to marry Li Gui Niang to his son.
But the third prince died.
Although Empress Fang is pregnant again, even if the baby is a son, how long will it take to raise him to the age where he can get married? How can the Li family wait
Naturally, we have to find another way out.
Queen Fang revealed her intention - it's also a marriage between relatives, isn't it the same as the prince's mansion
The first person to be chosen was Chu Jingrui, the eldest son of the Chu royal family.
But before this matter could be made public, the King of Chu plotted treason.
Chu Jingrui still doesn’t know where he has gone into exile, so his plan is naturally invalid.
The one behind was Chu Jingxing from Linjiang Palace.
No matter how you rank them, Chu Jingxing is a good person after all. He has a good family background, is a cousin, has a good reputation, and is a steady person.
Princess Changying knew what her brother and sister-in-law meant, so how could she go against their wishes? She was happy with this marriage.
But now that Shen Chen is making such a fuss...
She frowned, "He's just a troublemaker! He causes trouble everywhere!"
Li Shao sighed: "Now that Gui Niang has caused such a thing, why would Jing Xing choose her? After all, she is to be the prince's consort. In the future, she may have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of being a princess. Her reputation is ruined now..."
Emperor Longqing and Empress Fang were angry mostly because of this reason.
Princess Changying felt more and more headache and toothache, she covered her face and cried out.
She cares a lot about anything that concerns her daughter.
She also knew that this son was different from other playboys and was a capable person. After calming down, she asked him, "Is there no other way? She's your own sister! Are you going to let her be bullied like this?"
Li Shao remained calm and showed no anger. He shook his head and said, "How could I not love my sister?"
This time, Li Gui Niang was able to get scolded, but that was because, seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately asked Xie Liangcheng to drag Peng Caichen and Peng Caiying over, and forced them to go to the inner courtyard to stop the competition from continuing, and also urged Aunt Shi from home to come quickly.
He also raised this younger sister since she was a child. He is six years older than her. Why shouldn't he go along with her
He sighed again, "It's not impossible to make amends. Mother has to be patient and think of it as her sister's sake."
Princess Changying stared coldly at the sky outside, looking at the dazzling sun that made people dizzy, and it took a long time before she let out a breath from her chest.
She had to endure it, even though the word "endurance" was like a knife hanging over one's head, cutting people painfully, but she was not outstanding among the princesses back then, but she still managed to get through it. Now that she has the life she has today, could it be that she can no longer endure it
Besides, it was for her daughter, so she was willing to cut her flesh.
You just have to endure your anger for the time being. There is still a long way to go in the future. As long as you calm down now and as long as you can satisfy Emperor Longqing and Empress Fang, you will be able to make a comeback one day.
She nodded: "Go and apologize?"
