The two princesses quarreled, and Wei An was caught in the crossfire. Li Gui Niang held Princess Chang Ying's arm, her eyes sparkling, "Yong He is such an arrogant person, but he didn't get angry at Wei An."
She couldn't understand it.
Emperor Longqing had very few children, including only four or five daughters. Only Yonghe and Yongqing were a little older. The others either died young or were just ignorant children of four or five years old.
It was also because of this that Emperor Longqing treated his daughters almost as if they were his own children. He did not restrict them since childhood and even allowed them to go on the autumn hunt. Not only could they go, he was also willing to let them go hunting. Yonghe was even more different since she was young - she was raised by Empress Ming in her arms, and after Empress Ming passed away, she was given to Empress Fang to raise. However, Empress Ming was still listed as her biological mother on the jade plate.
Because of this, Emperor Longqing valued her even more.
Yonghe was therefore particularly favored, and being favored easily led to a bad temper. Although Li Guiniang and the others were arrogant in front of others, they were always careful to flatter Yonghe and did not dare to mention anything about whether they were sisters or not.
This person, after being talked so much by her and Princess Xianrong today, was not angry with Wei An.
She really couldn't understand it.
Princess Changying frowned tightly, not knowing what she was thinking. She only realized what her daughter said and twisted her daughter's nose, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You! I've told you so many times, but you just won't listen!"
She sighed, "What is the status of a princess? Is she worthy of being upset with a princess who is only good for show? She is not in the eyes of Princess Yonghe yet."
So even if Lady Xianrong and Li Gui Niang tried to sow discord, Princess Yonghe was too lazy to do anything - in her eyes, there was no need for that at all.
Besides, Yonghe is not stupid. If she really makes a scene, she will be violating the same taboo as Li Gui Niang. Moreover, she is a princess, and the impact of her scene cannot be compared with that of Li Gui Niang.
It is precisely because of this intelligence that we can stand firmly on our feet.
Li Gui Niang felt very sorry, hugged her knees and put her head on them, saying faintly: "I thought Yonghe was going to take action..."
Really, still a child.
Princess Changying's face was not very good, but she still reached out and rubbed her daughter's head, and asked her softly: "Yonghe took action, and then what?"
Li Gui Niang was a little confused.
Yonghe is a princess, and the beloved princess of Emperor Longqing. Even if she took action, what could Wei An do? By then, all the imperial edicts would see how embarrassed Wei An was... ...
Her own life has been ruined, and Wei An, who always hoped to make her become what she is now, will not have a good ending.
"Yonghe... Yonghe will not be punished." She pondered for a long time, finally figured out something, and said softly: "She is different from me."
Princess Changying smiled, and after a moment she brushed the hair behind her ears and asked her, "Today, when you went to talk to Yonghe, was it Xianrong who asked you to go, or did you go on your own?"
In the past, I always thought that Lady Xianrong was a good person. No matter what happened, she would always advise Li Gui Niang. But after these few major events, I slowly came to realize that.
It happened at the villa of Princess Xianrong.
According to her daughter, it was Lady Xianrong who first ran to tell her the news that Wei An was also in Tongzhou.
Whenever Lady Xianrong came to accompany Li Guiniang, what she said seemed to be words of advice to her, but if you think about it carefully, it was all to sow discord between her and Wei An.
But in the end, it was not Princess Xianrong who got into trouble, but Li Gui Niang.
Princess Changying is not an inexperienced girl like Li Gui Niang. She only thinks too deeply about many things. No matter what, Li Gui Niang is in trouble now, and it is Princess Xianrong who stands out.
Originally Li Guiniang was going to marry Chu Jingxing, but now it has been changed to Princess Xianrong.
When you think about these things one by one, they don't make sense.
Li Gui Niang raised her head and closed her eyes in Princess Changying's arms: "It was Ah Sheng who mentioned that Wei An was here. Yong He happened to be asking about my brother, so I pointed to Wei An."
She paused, then added: "Ah Sheng has been better than me in this life."
It was very sad to say this, but Li Gui Niang knew that it was the fact.
She used to be superior to Lady Xianrong in every aspect, but now, she is inferior to Lady Xianrong in every aspect.
She used to be the one standing in front of Yonghe, but now she has become an immortal.
Princess Changying didn't speak for a long time, and then she smiled: "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, how can you say for sure? If it looks good, you never know when it will fall into disgrace, and if it looks bad, you never know when it will turn for the better. Besides, it's best to get benefits."
As she said this, she went back and asked someone to invite Madam Shen over, wanting to get a definite answer from her.
Li Gui Niang's reputation is now ruined, and she is the first princess to be stripped of her title. Her situation is really embarrassing. The Shen family in Shangqiu is an aristocratic and famous family. They even married a princess in the past. Even if Li Gui Niang is still a princess, they can still marry her. Therefore, Princess Changying's attitude is particularly friendly.
But even so, the Shen family did not agree.
Mrs. Shen sighed with some embarrassment and told her: "We were very satisfied with Gui Niang, but who knew that the evil creature in our family... "
She was very hesitant, and when she had no other choice she said, "The evil creature in our family said that he doesn't like people who are so lively."
To say that she was lively was already giving her face. That day, when Young Master Shen went up to the octagonal pavilion, the first thing he saw was the appearance of Li Gui Niang when she stabbed Lady Xianrong.
Then, as soon as he returned, he begged his family to not allow the marriage to be arranged.
Originally, Mrs. Shen couldn't refuse, and she came because of the close relationship with the Li family. However, since her son didn't want this to happen, she naturally valued her son more and agreed. She also quickly found a girl for her son - the daughter of Hanlin Mei, who was the most gentle and docile.
It was decided a few days ago. Mrs. Shen went to see the house in person. The girls in Mei's family are all sensible and gentle. Looking at her married sisters, she could get a rough idea of the family style. When Mrs. Shen thought about marrying a virtuous woman, she no longer had any hesitation. She left the Ruyi Pendant at that time and sent someone to go to Puji Temple to match the horoscopes when she came back.
She paused, then told Princess Changying with some guilt: "It's really our fault. It's probably because the two children are not meant to be together... There's nothing we can do about it. Our children are unlucky and unworthy of your family's surname. There is absolutely no reason to force a sale. Princess Changying naturally knows this.
