“…”

The smile on the woman in the brown skirt froze on her face.

"This woman is like a flower that blooms in the spring. After the spring and the best age, she withers."

Qin Ye grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table and said quietly,

"No man would like a withered flower. Keep the gel for yourself."

“…”

The woman in the brown skirt's face turned pale and then black, she was so angry.

No matter how old a woman is, the most taboo thing is to be called old!

It is the same in ancient and modern times.

She clutched the handkerchief tightly, her face turned cold, and her voice was also very cold: "Yes, everyone will grow old, what's important is the process."

"For the past ten years, I have given birth to children for my master and taken care of the house. Now my children have grown up and are filial and sensible. This is better than living a life in vain~"

She emphasized the words "lived in vain" in a sarcastic tone, implying that Qin Ye was unpopular and wasted his youth.

Qin Ye leisurely cracked a melon seed and nodded:

"Well, it's true that we can't live our lives in vain. How many women in this world can marry into the royal family? How many women can become the Princess of Chen?"

"I am young, but I have become a superior person. It is better than some people who live their whole life in vain."

A direct satire on some women: they are of low status yet complacent.

"you!"

The woman in the brown skirt stood up angrily.

Qin Ye glanced at her and said, "I didn't say anything to you, why did you stand up?"

“…”

This little bitch!

Such a sharp mouth and teeth are as sharp as a dog's!

At the side, the purple-robed noblewoman smiled softly and spoke to ease the awkward atmosphere: "Sister Wei, Princess Chen, both of you should say less. We are all in the imperial capital, and we will see each other every day. There is no need to be so awkward."

Qin Ye found that the noble lady in purple was quite sensible.

Yes.

Unexpectedly, the purple-robed noblewoman mentioned the brown-skirted lady in the previous sentence, and then talked about her in the next sentence:

"Princess Chen, you are still young, don't be so arrogant. We have been in the Deep Palace for more than ten years, and I can tell you from our experience.

In the deep palace, we only hear the new people laughing, but never see the old people crying.

If you are not loved, you will be replaced.

Princess Chen's position is the same.

"We are talking about you for your own good. We kindly gave you the skin gel and the secret recipe for having a baby, but you don't know how to be grateful. Why? Do you think the position of Princess Chen is inlaid with gold and firmly stuck under your butt?"

The tone was sarcastic, and carried the meaning of an elder giving instructions to a younger person.

Several women looked at him with contempt.

What's so great about being the Princess of Chen?

Who doesn’t know that Prince Chen’s sweetheart is the girl from the Xiao family?

If Qin Ye hadn't used tricks to force Prince Chen to marry her, would she be the Prince Chen's Consort?

He snatched Miss Xiao's position and was so proud and boastful. He may fall to his death one day without knowing it!

Qin Ye sneered: "I don't know whether it is inlaid with gold or not, but just because I am the emperor's daughter-in-law, you need to kneel on the ground and salute me."

He glanced at them with a cold gaze, his brows dignified without anger:

"I am the noble one, and you are the humble one. When will it be your turn to teach me a lesson?"

"You!" The purple-robed noblewoman was annoyed. "Don't be ungrateful! We are your elders, and we are only saying this for your own good."

It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, who doesn't know how kind a person is.

For her own good?

Moral kidnapping?

They are really a bunch of people who have nothing better to do. They take advantage of their extra years of experience to point fingers at others and meddle in other people's affairs.

Sorry, no one can shit on her head without Qin Ye's permission.

"You want to be my elder? My elder is the emperor, you want to be the king?"
