My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

Princess Pingle slowly turned around and looked at Concubine Wen who was walking towards her, her eyes full of indifference.

Concubine Wen smiled widely, walked quickly to Princess Pingle, bowed slightly and said, "Princess, why are you so unhappy today? Did anyone make you angry?"

She was wearing a lavender dress, the sleeves of which fluttered like clouds, and the hem of her skirt was embroidered with delicate flowers that looked lifelike and seemed ready to bloom at any moment.

Her facial features are somewhat similar to those of Princess Pingle, especially the slightly upturned corners of the eyes and the small lips, which make it possible to tell at a glance that they are related by blood.

However, unlike the arrogant Princess Pingle, although Concubine Wen was older, she had a more delicate beauty in her appearance. Her eyes always had a hint of timidity, like a frightened deer, which made people feel pity for her.

Princess Pingle was even more annoyed when she saw her behavior. She snorted coldly and said in a cold and disdainful tone: "What are you doing here? It's not your turn to worry about my affairs."

Concubine Wen's face froze, but she still forced a smile and said carefully: "Princess, please don't be angry. Mother is just concerned about you. I heard that you couldn't eat in recent days, so mother specially stewed blood swallows for you. Come, try it."

Princess Pingle glanced at the exquisite porcelain cup in Concubine Wen's hand, her eyes still full of annoyance.

"This princess has no appetite, take it away."

Concubine Wen's smile became more and more forced. She took a step forward and gently advised, "My princess, this blood swallow is a tonic. You should eat a little. How can your mother feel at ease if you don't take care of your body?"

Princess Pingle frowned and glared at Concubine Wen.

"I said I don't want to eat, don't you understand? Don't be so hypocritical here. This princess doesn't need your concern."

Concubine Wen's eyes flashed with hurt, she lowered her eyes slightly, and her voice became a little lower. "Princess, mother knows that you have a prejudice against me, but I am your mother after all, and this is all for your good."

Princess Pingle felt even more annoyed when she heard what Concubine Wen said.

She raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of contempt: "It's for my own good. If you hadn't given birth to me, and I still cared about that little bit of blood, do you think you could still be a concubine?"

Concubine Wen's body trembled slightly. She raised her head with tears in her eyes.

"Princess, you have misunderstood mother. I am genuinely concerned about you, why can't you just trust me?"

Princess Pingle waved her hands impatiently, her eyes filled with disgust.

"That's enough. Stop talking. Just be a good concubine and don't provoke me to do anything. Otherwise, you will regret it."

Concubine Wen bit her lip and bowed helplessly.

"Since the princess doesn't want to see me, I will take my leave first."

Concubine Wen slowly turned around and left, her lavender skirt fluttering gently in the breeze, making her figure look even more lonely.

Princess Pingle looked at her departing back, and the disgust in her heart grew stronger.

She still remembers clearly that night when she was delirious with fever and in her hazy consciousness she accidentally overheard the conversation between Concubine Wen and the maidservant beside her.

Every word was like a sharp thorn, piercing deep into her heart.

The life experience she was so proud of turned out to be just a dirty lie.

Concubine Wen was not of prominent birth; she was just the daughter of a wealthy family on a farm in the suburbs of the capital.

Because she was beautiful and had been childhood sweethearts with her cousin, the adults of both families verbally agreed on the marriage early on.

However, that day, Prince Shun, who was hunting in the suburbs, accidentally saw Concubine Wen and was attracted by her beauty.

At that time, Prince Shun drank deer blood wine and was so excited that he favored her in the manor.

Afterwards, Prince Shun left, but soon sent someone to bring her to the palace.

Then, Concubine Wen became pregnant and gave birth to Princess Pingle, and was therefore named Concubine.

At first, Concubine Wen thought that she was able to get pregnant because of her good health, so she eagerly hoped to have another son to consolidate her position in the palace.

But as time went on, not only did she not get pregnant, but neither did the other wives and concubines in the mansion. Moreover, Princess Pingle looked more and more like her cousin, and Concubine Wen began to realize that something was wrong.

She realized that the baby she was pregnant with was not Prince Shun's, but her cousin's. It was her cousin who sneaked into her house on the night Prince Shun left.

This discovery made Concubine Wen panic, fearing that others would find out. Therefore, she no longer took care of Princess Pingle as carefully as before, and always carefully hid her inner fear.

Princess Pingle was a sensitive person. She was already sad that her mother no longer liked her, and then she heard what Concubine Wen said because she had a fever. From that moment on, all her feelings towards Concubine Wen turned into disgust and hatred.

She couldn't accept that her life experience was so miserable.

Princess Pingle became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms. She hated Concubine Wen's infidelity and the shame she brought upon herself.

She knew that if the secret was revealed, she would lose everything she had and become a laughing stock.
