So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

"It's a rare good day today, please accompany me for a walk outside." Chu Changning said as she stood up. The pink-dressed maids serving her hurriedly supported her, and the others went out immediately to arrange the items for the Grand Princess's garden visit like robots that had received orders.

Xiao Yueshan was not good at serving others. She stood not too far away, waiting for Chu Changning to be ready.

Chu Changning's birthday is in autumn, so she particularly likes chrysanthemums. Now is not the season for chrysanthemums to bloom, so the garden is decorated with many colorful chrysanthemums carefully cultivated by gardeners.

The garden of the Grand Princess's Mansion is already very large, but if one is confined to this small area for decades, then no matter how big the garden is, it is just a cage.

The maids worked very quickly and had already set up the incense table and tea table for the Grand Princess to use in the Yiran Pavilion where she often went.

The two of them walked along the path, the autumn breeze blew gently, and the warm autumn sun still brought a hint of coolness. Chu Changning looked at the chrysanthemums in the garden thoughtfully, with a faint loneliness in his eyes.

"Looking back, I was the eldest daughter of Emperor Taizong, the heir of Empress Yang's peerless beauty and talent, and the jewel of the entire empire. I thought I had everything, and I turned a blind eye to what my mother said about the crown princess. All I wanted was a pure relationship, someone who truly understood me." Chu Changning sighed, "Unfortunately, I thought I met that person, but in the end I was just hurt, and my mother's plans for me were in vain."

"Men are always unfaithful! Child, I have heard a little about your relationship. You have the courage to find Shen in the palace, and you are determined to file a complaint with the emperor. You are a determined and brave woman. I am afraid that you will be like me in the future, and regret it only after your heart is broken."

Xiao Yueshan's heart moved, and she suddenly realized that in addition to the reasons Chu Changning said, it might be because of her relationship with Zhou Yao that the Grand Princess became interested in her. Maybe, deep in her heart, Chu Changning still longed for true love; maybe, she had become indifferent to love and now only wanted revenge.

Xiao Yueshan still sat quietly, playing the role of a listener for Chu Changning.

"Gao Wei is just the most unpresentable bastard born to a dancer in the Duke of Yiguo's mansion. It is because of my favor that he has the opportunity to make achievements and inherit the hereditary title of Duke of Yiguo." Chu Changning paused, and then said: "Back then, I stood up for him against all odds, pointed a dagger at my throat and forced my father to summon the Duke of Yiguo, asking him to raise the low-ranking dancer as his co-wife, winning a reputation for Gao Wei. Afterwards, I disregarded the dignity of the royal family and destroyed my own innocence in order to get my father to grant the marriage, and finally let Gao Wei inherit the title.

I married him when I was two months pregnant, thinking that I had overcome all difficulties and fulfilled my dream of marrying my beloved lover. But in the end, he had already had an affair with my personal maid, and she was pregnant with my child! "Although the incident happened decades ago, Chu Changning was still furious. The maids in pink seemed to be deaf and turned a deaf ear to their master's secret.

"I heard that the woman was frightened during pregnancy and ended up losing the fetus, making it difficult for her to get pregnant again." She gnashed her teeth in hatred, making people feel cold just by looking at her.

Xiao Yueshan was shocked. She didn't expect Chu Changning to have such a tragic experience, nor did she expect Chu Changning to tell her about it.

"I know so much, I won't be silenced, right..." Xiao Yueshan couldn't help but silently pray for Buddha's blessing.

"I wanted to execute that bastard couple, but at the last moment, I softened my heart." Chu Changning's eyes flashed with helplessness, "I let them go, but I also fell into endless pain.

"What's funny is that after the affair was discovered, because I didn't punish them, the woman was so worried that she died of depression soon after, and the child died with her." She laughed in anger, "Gao Wei actually blamed me for the loss of his beloved and the tragic death of his son?! What a joke! He lost his beloved and the tragic death of his son?"

Chu Changning's expression became extremely crazy and terrifying, "Didn't I also lose my love and my son tragically?!"

Xiao Yueshan listened quietly. She could feel the pain in Chu Changning's heart and her expression became compassionate.

"I have painstakingly sought this sin, so I shall bear it alone.

Sadly, the wife of the old Duke of Yiguo was so angry that she vomited blood because she was promoted from a dancer to a concubine and her legitimate son was sent to the front line to guard the border. She struggled to come to the palace to see me. After more than 60 years, I still remember her crying eyes. She said: "The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, with thousands of loves and support from the people of the world, but she is so willful and reckless! The retribution will come. Now the princess has gone to great lengths to destroy everything my family has gained. One day, I am afraid that the retribution will come to the princess herself!"

It seems that she was right. My stubbornness chilled my father's heart. Even though he knew that Gao Wei had no true feelings for me, my father did not agree to my request for divorce. He only kept the princess's mansion for me and allowed me to live alone."

Hearing this, Xiao Yueshan felt that Chu Changning deserved it.... Isn't this just a cool story about a powerful man who gets his comeuppance for his love affair? The role of the old Duke's wife is always the heroine in a rebirth story! She didn't sympathize with Chu Changning at all. This sister had it all her own way.

"From now on, I will never trust any man again. They are all heartless and ungrateful." Chu Changning's tone became firm.

Xiao Yueshan thought, it seems that the eldest princess has lived so long without any mental exhaustion... She always blames others and never exhausts herself. This sister is in a very advanced mental state. After so many years, if you reflect a little bit and feel a little sorry for the people you hurt, you won't come to such a conclusion.

"In addition to the patriarchal principle, the scripture compiled by Empress Yang should have also included this sentence. I wonder if the Grand Princess remembers it: 'Alas, women, do not indulge in love with men! Men's indulgence can still be explained. Women's indulgence cannot be explained.'

Love is only a part of life. It is not advisable to only rely on feelings as an emotional sustenance, but it is a bit absolute to blame all your unhappiness on feelings. "Xiao Yueshan raised his head and looked at Chu Changning, and said softly.

Chu Changning was slightly startled, then sneered: "You little girl do know a lot, but you know that there is no such sentence in the Thirteen Classics."

Oh my god? Who compiled the Book of Songs? Did they even delete the poem “Rogue”? This is something that we have to learn during compulsory education!!! No wonder Chu Changning is so obsessed with love.

Xiao Yueshan stared at Chu Changning blankly. She was certain that this sentence must have appeared in the Book of Songs, and now she didn't know how to make up for this mistake.

Fortunately, Chu Changning didn't take it too seriously. "You are still young and don't know how it feels."

Xiao Yueshan shook her head gently. "Grand Princess, I just feel that the past cannot be changed. Why should you keep brooding over it? Besides, there are many other beautiful things in life worth pursuing."

Chu Changning was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something. At this moment, a breeze blew by, bringing with it the fragrance of exotic flowers and plants. Chu Changning took a deep breath and smiled slightly.

"Well, you're right. The past is just a thing of the past, why dwell on it?"

She said slowly, "Okay, I'm tired, you can leave first.
