Princess Changying no longer had the energy to take care of these things. Since Li Shao was dead, her daughter's marriage was delayed - Chu Jingxing no longer wanted to think about getting married.
But she felt that the family of an even inferior status was not worthy of her precious daughter in any way. She thought about it over and over again, and her heart ached, but she had no idea.
Her relationship with her husband was not good to begin with, and after this incident, her husband simply took the child back to his hometown in Jinling. He had indeed come to the princess's mansion before and asked her whether she wanted to go.
How could Princess Changying be willing to go back to her hometown? -----For so many years, she had always been distant from the Li family, strictly maintaining her princess's self-esteem and pride. Whenever the Li family saw her, they would follow the full etiquette.
Because of this, the prince consort gradually became estranged from her.
But she became more and more indifferent. When her husband sent his eldest son and the rest of his sons to study in Jinling, she became more and more dissatisfied with the Li family.
Although the two sides had no feelings for each other, they were able to live in peace. Who knew that everything would be ruined after Li Shao's death.
The prince consort said that it was she who taught Li Shao to be like this, and if he had been more responsible, such a thing would never have happened. He kept accusing her of killing his son.
But is she willing to do this? !
She was not close to her eldest son and the second son. She only saw them more often during the New Year and other festivals. Only her youngest son and daughter were raised by her side and she watched them grow up. She held them at the top of her heart, loved and pampered them, and planned for their future. Originally, Li Shao was to be the third prince's study companion, and needless to say, Li Gui Niang was to be prepared to be the third prince's princess.
Everything was going according to plan, but who could have known such a disaster would happen.
Naturally, she couldn't blame her son, nor did she have the heart to blame her daughter, who already blamed herself so much that she wished she could follow her brother. So she focused all her energy on her daughter.
Chu Jingxing's plan was definitely not going to work - having committed such a big mistake and having to bear such a bad reputation, even if Emperor Longqing was not a man of great integrity, he would not do something that would ruin his reputation.
Then you can only make your own plans.
She supported her head with one hand and felt a little uncomfortable. She pressed her temple for a while before she felt better. She sighed and saw Aunt Shi coming. She nodded to her and asked, "Is Gui Niang feeling better?"
Aunt Shi brought her a cup of honeysuckle tea to help her cool down. Seeing how exhausted she was, she sighed, "Princess, you can rest for a while before dealing with this matter. Why is it so urgent?"
Princess Changying smiled bitterly and shook her head: "How can it be so easy? Gui Niang's reputation is so bad now... I don't plan to go to the capital, but Jinling is not easy to deal with either - that group of people are more arrogant than the new nobles in the capital. The Li guy keeps making trouble with me, saying that I am too proud and will delay Gui Niang sooner or later if I don't let her go back. But he never uses his pig brain to think about it. Which of those people's eyes are not on the top of their heads?"
Ordinary families in Jinling naturally didn't even think about it. Even if Li Gui Niang was stripped of her title of princess, as long as her mother, a princess, was around, she would not let her daughter marry into those impoverished families.
However, those who are famous in Jinling are all old nobles.
There are some old nobles who have fallen on hard times, but they all still regard themselves as old brands from the previous emperor's dynasty, and they all value their good reputation more than anything else. If Li Gui Niang really had to go back to her family, where would there be a good family for her to marry into
Aunt Shi sighed even more deeply: "The princess has really put all her heart and soul into the young lady... But..." She hesitated for a while before saying: "I think the young lady is still angry..."
She told the story of Li Guiniang sending invitations to the Dingbei Marquis's residence many times, and was very worried: "Before, you had been in a stalemate with the prince consort. I was afraid that if I told you, the prince consort would know, so I kept it a secret. Now I have to tell you, and the princess should persuade the girl. Times are different now... ... Whether it's for the family you like or for the girl's own sake, you shouldn't make trouble with the Dingbei Marquis's residence at this time."
The affairs of the Fang family have already caused turmoil in the harem and the court.
If Li Gui Niang caused trouble and got caught in the crossfire at this time, I'm afraid that when the palace blamed her, Li Gui Niang would suffer the same fate as Li Shao.
Princess Changying couldn't help but frown when she heard the word "Wei Family": "This child is crazy!"
He stood up and said, "I'll go talk to her..."
Just as she finished her words, a maid outside opened the curtain and called for the young lady. Li Gui Niang rushed in like a gust of wind, threw herself into Princess Changying's arms and hugged her waist. Without thinking, she said to her, "Mother! Please think of a way. I want Wei An to come that day, too!"
Princess Changying glanced at Aunt Shi, and the servants all retreated in silence.
Outside, cicadas were chirping and birds were singing, but Princess Changying really didn't want to listen. She took her daughter out of her arms, moved a little distance away, stared at her and whispered, "Stop messing around!"
She rarely spoke harshly to her daughter, but this time she couldn't help herself: "If you hadn't caused trouble again and again, how could there be so many things happening later?!"
As she spoke, Li Gui Niang's eyes turned red.
She was wearing a silver dress and had a jade-white belt around her waist, all of which reminded her that her brother was no longer there.
She choked up and shook her head: "Yes, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, my brother wouldn't have gone to Wei An for trouble because of me, and there wouldn't have been any of the things that happened later!"
Princess Changying pursed her lips and reached out to pull her: "Forget it, it's the past..."
Li Gui Niang stretched out her hand and brushed Princess Changying's hand away. She bit her lip and refused to move stubbornly: "No, I didn't go over! I am a sinner. If it weren't for me, my brother wouldn't have died."
"I will never have a good life." She said, with resentment flashing in her eyes: "But Wei An is going to die too! If she wasn't so cruel, how could my brother die?!"
Princess Changying had a severe headache. She felt her temples throbbing so hard that her head seemed to be splitting. She grabbed her daughter and raised her voice by twice as loud as before: "What are you talking about? Don't mention these things again!"
She was so angry that her blood rushed up and her face turned red. She felt dizzy and it took her a while to calm down. She grabbed her daughter's wrist and warned her sternly: "Don't say these things again. Do you hear me?!"
Li Gui Niang was different. She had never been wronged, but she had been tripped again and again by Wei An. This time it was not just a simple trip, it was as painful as a broken heart. She had a cold face and held her head high, refusing to bow her head: "I must die with her, only then can I be worthy of my brother!"
