He wanted to swallow his anger and felt that the only way out now was to endure. After being persuaded once, Princess Linjiang realized that this was the best way. She held her son's hand with tears in her eyes and chattered on.
But Chu Jingxing was well-informed - he was the prince of the palace, so how could the news brought into the palace escape his control
He knows everything.
But if it had happened in the past, it would have been fine. Even if she was a little stupid, marrying her would have been like raising a pug, coaxing her a few words and then serving her.
But Li Gui Niang is one of those hopeless people who keeps boasting about how she has built herself up with gold and silver over the years and how well she has been brought up. But she loses all her composure after just a few provocations.
If she was married to a girl who was so soft-hearted, would she really rely on her husband's family? She was just a kite, and the string was still in the hands of Emperor Longqing. Emperor Longqing asked Princess Changying to move her fingers, and no matter how high she flew, she would be pulled back.
Besides, this kite is only good looking but useless. If he instigated her, even if she could really succeed and give Wei An a warning, he would still recognize her as a foolish but powerful person.
But she couldn't even beat Wei An by a finger.
Come to think of it.....if I were to marry someone, it would be Wei An.
But now Wei An has been adopted by King Zheng, and they are nominally cousins. How can this be done
He scoffed and raised his eyebrows.
Princess Linjiang felt more and more that she had treated her son unfairly. She looked at him as if she was about to cry, and only stopped crying after a while. She sneered, "It's not that serious yet. Even if you really get in, your mother will make it a glorious event for you."
What can you do when you look so glorious? It's all glitz and glamour but rotten inside.
Chu Jingxing laughed, put away all his thoughts, and whispered to Princess Linjiang: "I know, mother, don't worry, don't worry so much for your son. Father and son both know everything about your son's affairs."
Princess Linjiang knew that her son had his own ideas since he was a child. Hearing him say this, she sighed again.
Chu Jingxing lives in Taoran Ju. The name is well chosen with good artistic conception. The three big characters on it were written by him himself. They are straight and neat, and very elegant.
As soon as he entered the house, he ordered: "Compare the gift you sent last time, but make it a bit heavier, and send it to Princess Changying's residence."
Since the Emperor and Empress wanted him to marry Li Gui Niang, and Li Gui Niang and Princess Changying were also trying to hurry up, he might as well muddy the waters a little more.
Princess Changying smiled and asked someone to deliver the things to her daughter's room in the backyard.
Li Gui Niang was chatting and laughing with the Fairy-Rong County Lady. She had been silent these days, not eating or drinking, and even her face had become thinner, with a pointed chin. She looked more beautiful than before, but had become more haggard recently. She had put away her domineering look, and looked more beautiful than before.
When he received the gifts sent from outside, he was stunned at first. When he found out that they were sent by his brothers, he covered his mouth and smiled with some pride.
"You are such a heartless bunch, you are only thinking of me now!"
Lady Xianrong also smiled, and seeing that she was eager to look, she followed suit to look. The things Li Shao had collected were most to Li Guiniang's liking, as they were all things that girls loved to play with and carry around.
The rest of the gifts given by Shen Chen and others were all a bit tacky, either made of gold or jade. Li Gui Niang threw them aside after looking at them.
She still resented Shen Chen and the others for setting the odds. Although Shen Chen and the others said that they thought she would win, she still couldn't face it.
When he saw Chu Jingxing's, he took it out and looked at it for a while before nodding: "This is quite interesting."
The Xianrong County Lady shook the fan in her hand, paused for a moment, and then said, "Oh? How is it interesting?"
When he got closer to take a look, he saw that it was a set of thirteen pieces of jewelry, a complete set, with a small gold comb. Although it looked shiny, it did not seem tacky.
She smiled, then lay on her back on the bed and exhaled: "Now I am finally alive..."
She covered her face with a handkerchief and did not see the expression on Xianrong County Lady's face. She continued, "A Wei Qi caused so many troubles. I really hate her..."
After a long while, Xianrong County Lady finally answered, "You should be quiet. The storm has just passed and you are feeling better. You are thinking about those nonsense again. Wait until your uncle finds out and see if he will scold you or not."
Li Gui Niang pouted and said, "My uncle never scolded me for this again. It was just because I didn't do it well for the sake of face."
Princess Xianrong originally wanted to persuade him, but for some unknown reason she stopped talking.
I'm too lazy to say more.
She said a few more words to Li Gui Niang before saying goodbye and leaving. She ran into Li Shao again. Li Shao had bought many small bamboo baskets and toys for his sister. He himself was holding a large bamboo basket filled with those small and exquisite toys. Each one was very beautiful. When he saw the Fairy-looking County Lady, he stopped and called out, "A Sheng" with a smile.
Xianrong County Lady also laughed: "You found it for Gui Niang?"
"That's right. This girl loves these little things. I thought I was free today, so I went out to find some for her." Li Shao smiled and invited Xianrong County Lady to have dinner again: "Have you had dinner yet? The day before yesterday, Hongwen and I went out to hunt a few bamboo chickens. We will stew bamboo fungus tonight. You can stay and join us."
Princess Xianrong declined with a smile, but when she got into the carriage she realized that the smile on her face had become a little stiff.
Although they are all daughters of princesses, they are still divided into different levels.
Normally, she would give in everywhere, but this time, after such a big fall, Li Gui Niang was able to recover and was still treated like a treasure by Princess Changying.
She felt a little unfair.
I knew in my heart that this was wrong, so I tried to suppress it.
But she suppressed it again and again, and finally she couldn't hold it in anymore when she saw Li Gui Niang's room full of gifts and the set of jewelry from the thirteenth room.
The smile on her eyebrows and eyes disappeared instantly. She closed her eyes and lay down on the table, sneering in her heart.
Since there can only be one red flower, why must it be Li Gui Niang
She was already tired of being a supporting role, and she was also tired of giving in. Standing behind and having her light overshadowed was more than enough. There was no reason to give in for the rest of her life.
If she doesn't fight for what she wants, she may never get it in her lifetime.
How could she tolerate this
She must not give in, not even a little bit. She was no worse than Li Gui Niang in any way, and it was Li Gui Niang who messed up the matter... She slowly sat up straight, straightened her skirt, and returned to the happy look she had when she went out.
