The cruel little princess

At that time, marrying her cousin, helping him ascend the throne, and at the same time letting herself sit on the position of queen, second only to the emperor, was her lifelong wish!

But now, every time night falls, she can only face the cold bed alone, unable to sleep.

Every time he slept with His Royal Highness, he rushed through the process, as if fulfilling his duty. It was so fast that it was impossible to savor it slowly...

It felt like two people were walking together. She had just stepped out of the house, but His Royal Highness Prince Rui had already reached their destination. There seemed to be an unbridgeable gap between the two of them, which filled her heart with bitterness and helplessness.

She couldn't understand the "women's happiness" described in those storybooks, nor did she know

She often wondered how the concubines in the backyard usually served His Royal Highness Prince Rui. Was he just like that to her or did he treat them like that as well... quickly?

Princess Rui sighed slightly, sorted out her somewhat lonely mood, put on a decent smile again, and walked towards Princess Fukang with a smile on her face.

"Princess Fukang has arrived, and I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person! Princess, please don't blame me! Please come in!"

Princess Rui Zhang Yuyan's voice was gentle and pleasant, and her tone was full of enthusiasm and respect. She bowed slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and politely welcomed Princess Fukang into the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, several beautiful maids came over quietly, holding exquisite snacks and fragrant tea in their hands.

The maids moved lightly and gently placed the snacks and tea on the table, then left quietly.

"Princess Rui is such a refined person. Appreciating flowers and drinking tea every day, isn't that a beautiful thing?!"

Princess Fukang looked at the table full of exquisite snacks and fragrant tea, smiled slightly, and her eyes were full of envy.

“Alas! This princess cannot compare to a princess!

Although the princess was in the post station, she was still able to go to teahouses and listen to operas freely...

But this princess can only handle the many internal affairs in the mansion..."

Princess Rui smiled and waved her hands, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, "It seems glorious, but in fact, I am exhausted by the many affairs in the palace.

Let’s not talk about it… But Princess, I haven’t seen you for a few days. I see that you look tired. Is it inconvenient for you to stay at the post station?”

Zhang Yuyan wanted to find out what happened at the door of the herbal medicine shop, but she knew that she couldn't just ask directly, so she could only try to find out the news indirectly.

"Come to think of it, I am one year older than Princess Xu, and I am so arrogant as to call myself your elder sister. Please don't mind, my younger sister!" She looked at Princess Fukang with a hint of temptation in her eyes.

"Sister, are you homesick lately? Or... have you encountered any troubles? Anyway, it's nothing serious. If you don't mind, you can tell me about it. I'll comfort you a little..."

When Princess Fukang heard this, she immediately understood. Did he come to inquire about the previous incident?

She still had a smile on her face as she responded, "Sister, what are you talking about! I'm all alone in a foreign land, without anyone to talk to..."

After hearing this, Princess Rui took Princess Fukang's hand and patted it gently, her eyes full of pity, "Sister, you have suffered so much at such a young age!"

Princess Rui looked at Princess Fukang and sighed inwardly.

She knew that Princess Fukang seemed calm and composed, but in reality she harbored many grievances. If she easily provoked her, wouldn't she become part of her own camp?

Thinking of this, Princess Rui no longer put on airs. "Sister, I heard that you met my ninth brother's sister-in-law, Princess Jin, in the herbal medicine shop yesterday? And she seemed a little unhappy?" Princess Rui asked tentatively, her eyes fixed on Princess Fukang's expression, not wanting to miss even the slightest change.

Princess Fukang frowned slightly, as if pondering Princess Rui's words. After a moment, she said, "Unhappy? What are you referring to, sister? Is it Princess Jin and me, or that blind servant behind us?"

Princess Rui was a little disappointed when she heard that she had mentioned Zuo Qingqing, the darling daughter of Minister Zuo, but hadn't mentioned Princess Jin directly. However, she smiled and said, "Oh? My ninth brother's wife grew up in the countryside and has no manners. If she has offended you, I, as your sister-in-law, apologize!"

Princess Rui let go of Princess Fukang's hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrance of tea spread in her mouth, but it could not dispel the boredom in her heart.

"Sister, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Although I am still young, I don't like to beat around the bush." ​​Princess Fukang suddenly said seriously.

Princess Rui put down the teacup and took a deep breath. "It's nothing. I just thought that my ninth brother's wife offended the princess. I hope the princess can forgive her for my sake!" Princess Rui stared into her eyes, not missing any of her subtle reactions.

Princess Fukang's eyes flickered for a moment, then returned to normal. "Forgive her? She hasn't offended me, so how can I forgive her?"

Princess Fukang thought to herself, "Haha, this is quite interesting." Shen Youyou was so confident she didn't feel guilty about offending me, but Princess Rui was just apologizing for her, practically putting the blame squarely on Shen Youyou's head! It was clear that the princes of the Golden Dragon Kingdom were constantly at odds with each other.

Princess Rui's heart tightened, wondering if Princess Fukang really didn't know or was just pretending to be dumb, "Haha! Then I'll tell you the truth. Shen Youyou has been raised in the countryside, so she has a rebellious temperament.

Later, after she married my ninth brother, she became even more arrogant and conceited!

Some time ago, he even relied on the fact that he had prescribed several medicines during the plague in Tongniu County, which had some effect.

She became even more arrogant and domineering, not taking us sisters-in-law seriously at all!"

Princess Rui smiled again, "No wonder. If she doesn't hold the Ninth Prince's heart firmly in her hands, she won't be able to live in peace! If it weren't for her father, the General's Mansion! Otherwise, how could she hold on to her position as Princess Jin?!"

Princess Fukang became interested when she heard this. "Oh? A hen that can't lay eggs? My dear sister, what's the stake here? Tell me about it!"

Seeing that Princess Fukang had taken the bait, Princess Rui slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea.

"It's a long story..." Princess Rui said with a smile.

"Let's make it short!" Princess Fukang's impatient expression finally entertained Princess Rui.

You little brat! I told you to be so arrogant and not tell me just now, but now you want to listen! I'm going to tell you slowly!

However, the enemy of my enemy is my friend! Looking at Princess Fukang's expression as if she wants to deal with Shen Youyou, it seems that she can still become an ally with me!

"This matter has to start from the banquet held by my father to mark the end of his career last year..." Princess Rui said slowly.

"That's the thing. It was clearly because my father praised her as a woman who was as capable as any man that the little palace maid developed admiration for her.

He wanted to express his feelings to her, but he accidentally tripped and caused Miss Xu to fall into the water.

Later, my ninth brother's wife injured herself and became infertile because of saving Miss Xu!"

Princess Rui picked up the handkerchief and slightly pressed down the corners of her upturned mouth, but unfortunately it didn't work.

"But my ninth sister-in-law wouldn't give in, insisting that the maid was being manipulated! In the end, the maid committed suicide in prison to prove her innocence!" Princess Rui shook her head. "I wonder if my ninth sister-in-law will remember all this, the innocent maid who died because of her? Will she be unable to sleep soundly?"

Princess Fukang was completely baffled by this! "Humph! I'm afraid someone so heartless wouldn't even think of this person!"

So there was such a huge melon that he didn't get to eat last year? So Shen Youyou is infertile? And since she's so arrogant now, I'm afraid that if His Royal Highness Prince Jin doesn't like her in the future, he'll divorce her soon?!

Hehehe! Shen Youyou! This really is a changing world!

Princess Fukang laughed. "Is His Royal Highness Prince Jin just letting her do whatever she wants? He has no intention of taking a concubine? After all, he is a prince. How will he cope if he has no children?"

Princess Rui coughed lightly, "I think it's because of the power of her mother's family! After all, the general who protects the country is so powerful right now! If he wants to achieve great things in the future, he will need the help of his father-in-law!"

"Haha!" Princess Fukang laughed softly. "Sister, do you really think that anyone can be the mother of a country? Only someone with both virtue and talent, a mother who is the mother of the country, is worthy of this high position! Just based on her, Shen Youyou, I'm afraid she's not qualified enough, right?!"

Princess Rui wanted to ask more, but she saw Princess Fukang looking at the sea of ​​flowers outside the palace, her eyes full of longing.

"Sister, let's not talk about annoying people! These flowers are so beautiful. It would be great if we could always enjoy them so freely."

When Princess Rui heard Princess Fukang say this, she knew that she would not be able to get anything out of her today, so she could only accompany her to continue appreciating the flowers.
