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

Prince Shun watched Princess Pingle leave the study and sighed silently.

There was worry and helplessness in Prince Shun's eyes. He slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the courtyard outside.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard swayed gently in the breeze, but they could not calm the waves in his heart.

That was his daughter whom he had spoiled since she was a child, so he naturally knew that she would not give up so easily.

But I’m afraid we really can’t touch Liu?

Princess Shun walked up to Prince Shun and comforted him softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Pingle is still young. His Majesty will not really blame her."

Prince Shun sighed, his tone full of sarcasm, "Humph, for a commoner woman, His Majesty is so harsh on Pingle, showing no mercy to me. It's not that he doesn't like Pingle, it's obvious that he's taking the opportunity to blame me. He always thinks that the Queen Mother is partial to me, and he doesn't think about it. If I hadn't taken the initiative to give in, how could he have sat in that position?"

After hearing what Prince Shun said, Princess Shun felt nervous and looked at the door.

"Your Majesty, be careful with your words. You can't say such things carelessly."

Prince Shun was slightly startled, then realized his mistake and shook his head helplessly.

"I was just angry. Your Majesty's actions this time are really chilling."

Princess Shun sighed softly, but a flash of mockery flashed across her eyes.

"Your Highness, you must be careful with your words. Since His Majesty has spoken, we can only respond carefully. As for Pingle, I'd better persuade her not to cause any more trouble or displease His Majesty."

Prince Shun nodded and looked out the window again. Who would be truly willing to be in that position?

If it weren't for General Xiao's strong support for Your Majesty, and the Queen Mother's favoritism, he would not have really been without a chance, right?

Princess An, who was standing behind Prince Shun, twitched the corners of her lips slightly with a look of sneer on her face.

He actually had the nerve to say that he was willing to give in!

Your Majesty is proficient in both civil and military strategies. Since he ascended the throne, he has worked hard to govern the country, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. People from all walks of life in the court praise him. Prince Shun is a greedy and lustful man, but he has the nerve to speak so shamelessly here. He is so shameless!

"Thank you for your hard work. This palace is well managed thanks to you."

Princess An of Shun quickly put away the sarcasm on her face and smiled gently.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. As the princess, this is what I should do."

Prince Shun nodded slightly, turned around and looked at Princess Shun, gently took her hand, but his eyes were filled with thoughts of his newly-acquired concubine Qin, and he secretly sighed in his heart that the princess was also extremely beautiful when she was young, but now, after all, she is older, and her skin is not as smooth as that of a young woman.

Princess An of Prince Shun took in all the subtle changes in Prince Shun and her heart tightened slightly, but she still maintained a gentle smile on her face.

"Pingle is my only child. Although she is not very good, you still need to worry about her dowry. The Ye family is not good, so you should buy her more. But don't let Pingle lose her dignity."

An lowered her eyes slightly to hide the disgust in her eyes.

"Your Highness, I will do my best to arrange Pingle's marriage and let her marry in style. The dowry has naturally been prepared in advance according to the rules. However, Your Highness knows that there are many people in our house and the money spent is also high. Last month, you took in Qin and Wang, so the money in the treasury is really not much. If you want to add more, I am afraid that our house will..."

Prince Shun instantly felt ashamed at what Princess Shun said, and a trace of displeasure welled up in his heart, but he also knew that she was telling the truth.

In order to have a son, he has brought many people into the mansion over the years. In the past few years, even the empress dowager kept sending palace maids to the mansion.

Now, the Prince Shun’s Mansion in Noda is filled to the brim with things by him.

"Humph, if the public treasury doesn't have enough money, can't you think of a way? How can Pingle's marriage be careless? She is my daughter, and her dowry must be generous. She can't be looked down upon."

Prince Shun said in a somewhat stiff tone.

Princess Shun doesn't indulge him. He has worked hard to act out the loving relationship between husband and wife for so long, so why is it not enough?

Find a way? ? Does he mean that he wants her to make up for it from her dowry?

Who could have imagined that the seemingly magnificent Prince Shun's Mansion was just an empty shell, and all the rewards in the palace were taken away by Prince Shun.

It's a nice thought. Even if my dowry is too much and I have no place to spend it, I won't give it to him.

What do you want?

Is it because she wants him to look for a sister for her all day long?

Princess Shun sneered in her heart, but her face remained dignified.

"Your Highness, I have tried my best to manage the affairs of the palace. The money in the treasury is indeed tight. My dowry is my private property. There is no reason for me to use it to supplement the family. If people knew that I used it as my dowry, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Your Highness? As for Pingle's dowry, in my opinion, the Queen Mother has always doted on Pingle. As for this dowry, it would be better for the Queen Mother to add more."

Prince Shun was choked by Princess Shun's words and his face became even gloomier.

He was angry, but he also knew that what Princess Shun said made sense.

Over the years, he has indeed hired quite a few people into his mansion, resulting in huge expenses.

"Forget it. I will go to the palace to meet my mother another day and mention this matter to her." Prince Shun said helplessly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

Princess Shun bowed slightly, and seeing that Prince Shun looked unhappy, she found an excuse to leave.

Shunwang Mansion, Ruiyunxuan.

"Madame Li, send the three maids that the Queen Mother sent to the princess's courtyard. The prince has said that the princess cannot leave the courtyard before she gets married. Let them teach her the rules with all their heart."

When Li Ma heard this, her face changed slightly. "This... Princess, I'm afraid the princess won't accept it, right?"

Princess Shun's lips curled up slightly. "She will not disobey the order from the prince himself. She stole someone else's husband and even intended to murder his original wife. Everyone in the capital knows about it. Now even His Majesty is alarmed. If it is spread that she is pregnant, wouldn't it be a loss of face for the royal family?"

Nanny Li nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, Princess. I will do it right away."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to make arrangements.

Princess Shun sat in the main seat of Ruiyun Pavilion, feeling extremely happy.

She had long lost the favor of the prince. Now, with the status of the principal wife, it was a special kind of pleasure for her to watch those beauties perform in front of her every day!

As long as Prince Shun behaved himself and didn't commit suicide, she wouldn't mind living like this.

In the past few years, Concubine Wen relied on the charming girl she gave birth to to act in front of the prince. She also made trouble for him by giving birth to Princess Pingle, which made her, the princess who was married to him in a formal ceremony, very embarrassed.

As a princess, she naturally would not compete with her for favor. If she likes to be jealous, then she can find more sisters to compete with her.

Her efforts were not in vain. As concubines were brought in one after another, Concubine Wen eventually fell out of favor.

If she had not been lucky enough to give birth to Princess Pingle and become the concubine who won the Royal Jade Butterfly, she would have been killed by herself by now.

All the wives and concubines in the prince's courtyard were unable to give birth, but Concubine Wen got the upper hand. Princess Pingle gave birth prematurely, so it would be a lie to say that she has not been pregnant in these years.

However, the prince said himself that he had favored Wen before she entered the palace, so she could only swallow her doubts.

Unexpectedly, now, the daughter of the Wen family is also pregnant before marriage. It is true that like mother, like daughter!
