Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo
Chapter 286 How could there be such a person who stabs people in the heart?
Princess Kangning was scolded so much that she could hardly cry anymore. She wanted to stand up and tear her sister's hair several times. It was really too much!
But her pale fingers twisted the handkerchief in her hand tightly, and she finally held back.
She slowly raised her red eyes, looked at Princess Kang Yi who was looking at her mockingly with grievance and anger, and suddenly asked:
"Sister, you are so mean to me because you are worried about the prince's selection of concubines. My Xue'er has stolen the limelight from your Xing'er. Why do you have to find excuses to scold me?"
Princess Kang Yi felt sore at the sight, her eyes suddenly became fierce and she was about to curse when she heard Zheng Yuanfang speak first.
"My aunt has misunderstood. Our Zheng family does not allow daughters to enter the palace. This is our family motto. Your sister just wanted to find a marriage partner for our daughter who has reached the age of marriage. I guess she was a little anxious in her words and actions."
Zheng Yuanfang had already warned Princess Kang Yi, and later explained everything to Prince Cheng and his wife. Zheng Xingyu would neither enter the Eastern Palace nor marry another prince.
They were born as military generals and married into the Prince Cheng's Palace. They have enjoyed a glorious life over the years. They should learn to be content and keep a low profile. They don't want to be involved in the vortex of power struggle.
Zheng Yuanfang and the Prince of Chengyang knew that he had only one legitimate son, and his illegitimate sons were still young. It would not be a good thing for his children to fight for unrealistic power.
It is enough for the children to squander the power and wealth that their Duke's Mansion already has, so there is no need for them to have ambitions that do not belong to them.
Therefore, when Princess Kangning used the matter of the Eastern Palace's selection of concubines to mock Princess Kangyi, Zheng Yuanfang immediately came out to explain, not daring to let such words get out and cause gossip.
The mocking expression that Princess Kangning had just revealed suddenly froze. She didn't expect that the person who came out to refute her words would be her brother-in-law.
On the side, Yong'an Hou finally spoke, but he said:
"Our Jiang family's daughter will not enter the palace either, mainly because Tang'er is of a higher generation. Seeing that the princes and princesses all call Tang'er "little master uncle", I guess the emperor only cares about the master's family instead of the royal family."
When he said this, everyone else looked a little embarrassed.
Many of the people present here have been to Qingfeng Palace to meet the emperor, and have heard the emperor talk about Yuntang in person. It is no secret that the princes and princesses call Yuntang "Little Master Uncle" and they call him that in public.
Therefore, Marquis Yong'an emphasized the relationship between Yuntang and the emperor as a master, and the emperor discussed the relationship from the perspective of master rather than royal relative.
This means that no matter whether it is the daughter of the Zheng family or the daughter of the Jiang family, if they marry the prince, they must call Yuntang "Uncle Master", which means they are one generation younger than him.
The relationship was already a bit messy, and this will only make it more messy.
Princess Kang Yi, who had originally wanted her daughter to enter the Eastern Palace, blushed when she thought of the reason Zheng Yuanfang had reminded her of, and could no longer utter a word of dissatisfaction.
Princess Kangning also frowned, looking depressed.
But in order to send Xue'er to the Eastern Palace, she even turned down the marriage proposal with the Prince of Pingguo. Now she was told that there was no chance at all. How could she be willing to accept this?
"How long are you going to kneel? Do you want me to give you a cushion so you can kneel more comfortably?" Suddenly, Marquis Yong'an said something that brought Princess Kangning back to reality. She was so angry that she covered her face and started crying again.
"Father, Mother, look at how he bullies me and speaks ill of me..."
King Cheng looked at his daughter who cried all the time and couldn't help but pat the armrest of the chair and said coldly: "Then can you get up? Do you want me to send someone to get a cushion?"
Princess Kangning suddenly stopped crying sadly and pulled the veil covering her face down a little. Seeing that her father's eyes were almost spitting fire, she lowered her head and sobbed before she climbed up from the ground.
Seeing her in such an embarrassed state, Princess Kang Yi curled her lips slightly, and felt a little relieved in her heart.
Although they are sisters, they have had a good friendship since childhood. In these years, she has been in a small place in the southwest, and she has learned a lot of news in the capital through correspondence with her sister.
But I didn't expect that after finally returning to the capital, I would see my sister become like this.
The mistress of the household did a terrible job and had her power taken away from her. She behaved without any mannerism of a mistress and was therefore confined to her home. She was full of resentment and spoke harsh words.
For her own selfish interests, she even disregarded the sisterhood. It was obvious that she gave birth to a legitimate daughter and she was already of age. In terms of status and age, she was the most suitable candidate for the Crown Princess.
But this ignorant sister actually competed with her for an adopted daughter, and even scolded her, saying that Xing'er was raised in a small place in the southwest and was uncouth and ignorant of manners.
Is this what a real aunt should say?
From then on, she looked down upon her sister no matter how she looked at her.
Zheng Yuanfang did not agree with her daughter entering the palace. She had discussed the matter with her mother in private. Her mother also agreed with Zheng Yuanfang's choice, saying that it was wise and a great wisdom.
For this reason, she had no choice but to give up. She has been looking at other families recently, but has not found the right one yet.
But when she heard that the daughter of the Jiang family could not enter the palace, she felt very relieved at that moment.
When Princess Kangning stood up, she saw her sister looking at her with a mocking expression, and her anger immediately rose again.
But thinking that he had come back today to show his grievance, he immediately walked to his mother with an aggrieved expression on his face.
"Mother, just look at my sister's attitude and I know... she resents me because of the Eastern Palace's selection of concubines, but it's not my fault that Xing'er can't enter the Eastern Palace."
Princess Kangning stood beside Princess Cheng and began to wring her handkerchief again, looking like she was about to cry. Princess Cheng was very troubled.
What evil has she done...
Outside in the garden, the only people of similar age to Jiang Yingxue who could chat with her were the fourteen-year-old County Lady Xiao Rou and Zheng Xingyu, who had just come of age.
They had a very good relationship when they were young, and it should be lively to meet again after not seeing each other for many years, but...
Now that Jiang Yingxue has become a fake rich girl, the three cousins can only stare at each other when they get together, feeling a little overwhelmed.
The Prince of Chengyang also has two concubine daughters, Xiao Xiao and Xiao Ya, both aged twelve, and Zheng Yuanfang also has three concubine daughters, namely Zheng Liyan, aged eleven, Zheng Dongxia, aged eight, and Zheng Qianyun, aged seven.
These concubines' daughters were also very observant. When they saw that something was not right with their elder sisters, they quickly slipped away.
It's better to go somewhere far away to enjoy the flowers and play in the snow than to follow my sisters and have no idea what to talk about.
Prince Chenghe only had a principal wife, no concubines or other maids.
He had only one little princess, the eleven-year-old Xiao Qing, who, realizing that the situation was not right, quickly said she wanted to go find her younger brother and ran away in another direction.
Under the plum tree, three pretty girls looked at each other for a long time. Finally, the quick-talking Zheng Xingyu spoke first.
"Cousin Xue'er, are you really not my aunt's biological child?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Yingxue burst into tears on the spot. How could there be such a person who would stab people in the heart?
Seeing this, Xiao Rou quickly changed the subject: "Cousin Xue'er, people in the capital say that cousin Tang'er was bullied by you as soon as she came back. Why did you..."
