"Woooooooo..."
In the eldest princess' attic, a girl's sobs came from the room: "They... they just see me as easy to bully. I have no mother and concubine, and no one to protect me. They just bully me on purpose."
"how could be?"
The eldest princess just feels a headache. Recently, the second princess came to her palace and cried once every three days and once every five days. They have always had a very good relationship. They kept saying words of comfort back and forth until their mouths started to smoke. She just couldn't help it. They are stuck in the horns and refuse to come out.
"Why not?"
The second princess wiped her tears: "It's just a few pieces of silver charcoal. I just take less. What does it matter if I take more? It's worth letting the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs punish the nun next to me. This Isn't it just a slap in the face? I know that because my mother-in-law made a big mistake and offended the imperial concubine, they did this to me, all because they wanted to take credit from the imperial concubine. "
She did not mention any accusation against the imperial concubine, but every word and sentence sounded like she was dissatisfied with Jiang Xinyue.
"If my mother and concubine hadn't gone, how could they dare to do this to me? What's wrong with me wanting to help my grandfather? He's almost..."
The eldest princess had endured it for a long time and couldn't bear to listen anymore. She interrupted her and said, "Shen Mingzhu, please wake up."
She faced the second princess with a serious expression: "You may not like to hear what I'm going to say next, but if you want to live well and continue to live your life of fine clothes and fine food, you have to listen to me."
"Sister Royal..."
The second princess seemed to have never seen the eldest princess lose her temper with her, and was a little stunned for a moment.
"Your mother-in-law died because she brutalized the palace people and persecuted the imperial concubine and the sixth emperor's brother several times. If the empress had not been vigilant, she would have been killed by your mother-in-law many times. And she was not the empress. The one who was killed was Xiao Ronghua, who had been tortured by Concubine De, who went crazy and stabbed her to death. If the empress wanted to rub you off, you would have been thrown to a subordinate country for a marriage. How can you still sit here and resent her? "
"Your brother Xuan'er is not as old as you. He can distinguish right from wrong. He invited himself to the Fengxian Palace to atone for the sins committed by Concubine De. You are already twelve years old. In three years, your father will be able to give you justice." Why are you so confused when you find a consort to marry? Who told you that your slaves were telling you that you are the imperial concubine? The empress is pregnant now, and she spends her days playing cards, admiring flowers and drinking tea with other ladies in the palace. , the most important thing is to raise the fetus in Hexi Palace, and rarely even leave the palace gate. The harem has no owner, and the empress is the concubine. She has so many things to worry about, how can she find the time to target you? "
"You are just a princess, and you will get married sooner or later. It would be better for her to target you than to target the Third Emperor's brother. Which of the gossiping slaves around you is there to sow discord? You tell the emperor's sister, and the emperor's sister will take the place of the imperial concubine and her. Confront her and see if there is any basis for what she said?"
The second princess blinked and looked at the nanny beside her. The nanny's eyes were wandering and she didn't dare to look at the eldest princess.
But why is the eldest princess so easy to fool?
She immediately stood up and stood in front of her with an imposing manner: "Did you speak ill of the imperial concubine in front of my princess's sister and drive a wedge between them?"
Cold sweat broke out on Mammy's forehead, and she knelt on the ground with a plop: "I don't dare, I don't dare..."
"This princess thinks you are very brave."
The eldest princess kicked the nanny over and said, "I want to ask you, Duke Cheng and Concubine De conspired to kill the imperial concubine several times and wanted to bring down the Jiang family. Why didn't you tell the imperial sister? ? That year, the sixth prince of Hexi Palace was almost burned to death with white phosphorus powder. Why didn't you say that it was Duke Cheng who added fuel to the flames? Yes, you are relatives of Duke Cheng, and you sympathize with what happened to him, but didn't he bring it upon himself? The punishment is an imperial edict issued by the emperor himself. You don’t have the guts to blame the emperor, but you put all the blame on the imperial concubine. Why? "
It was obviously difficult for the second princess to accept this fact. She shook her head violently: "No, no, no... that's not the case. Mother said..."
The grandma's face was pale and she was on the verge of collapse: "Slave... I just can't bear it..."
"You can't bear the suffering of Duke Cheng?"
The eldest princess said sternly: "What about the children in the palace who died at the hands of Concubine De and Duke Cheng? What about the concubines who lost one and two lives? What about the people who were tortured to death? Aren't they suffering? Why can you do this? Do you see your own suffering and ignore the suffering of others?”
Concubine Zhuang in the palace had a miscarriage caused by Concubine De, and her lower body was bleeding continuously. Not long after Concubine De died, she also followed her.
The imperial doctor said that the only thing that had kept Concubine Zhuang alive for so many years was her breath.
He was so angry that he wanted to avenge his child.
Now that Jiang Xinyue had helped her find the murderer and avenged her, the anger in her heart was gone, and she was no longer good.
Isn't she suffering?
The second princess had already burst into tears: "Sister Huang, I don't know... I really don't know..."
The eldest princess hugged her and patted her back to comfort her: "Mingzhu, the song "Zhen Niang Niang" is all about Zhen Niang Niang. She is the Zhen Niang Niang we met at the beginning. She has not changed, but our mood has changed. You have grown up. , you should have your own thoughts, learn to think for yourself, don’t listen to what others say, ask yourself, is Empress Zhen treating you badly?”
After Concubine De's death, the third prince left the palace, and the second princess lived in the attic behind Yanqing Palace.
Jiang Xinyue was afraid that she would have random thoughts, so she asked the emperor to select two companions with good temperaments and personalities among the daughters of officials to accompany her.
There are no shortage of silks, jewels, gold and silver as rewards on weekdays, which is enough to show kindness and righteousness.
The second princess took all this for granted.
this is not right.
No one is obligated to be unconditionally kind to a stranger.
"I...I know..."
The second princess smiled shyly at the eldest princess: "Today, Concubine Ru is moving into Yanqing Palace, and I have to make some arrangements, so I won't bother you to embroider your wedding dress!"
The eldest princess tried to hit her hand, but she dodged it with a smile and ran out the door.
After running some distance, she stopped and her face darkened.
The nanny who ran out with her wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Your Highness, the eldest princess seems to be..."
"snort!"
The second princess sneered: "After all, she is going to marry that boy from the Jiang family named Jiang Shoucheng. The imperial sister is talking to them now without caring about my feelings as a younger sister."
The nanny nodded: "Isn't that right? Then the concubine Yu also flattered the Jiang family's stinky feet, didn't she just want to get some benefits? The way she fawned over the first empress was exactly the same as now. The eldest princess didn't learn anything good. I learned the trick of hugging the thigh very well.”
The second princess was convinced and sighed in disappointment: "Mommy, we still have to rely on ourselves."
