Chapter 542: You Can’t Be Like Your Mother
Princess Huayang likes quietness, so her palace is not located in the land-scarce East Market, but in the northwest corner of the capital.
From the hour of noon, carriages began to arrive at the princess's residence one after another.
Such a large event has not happened in the capital for a long time.
The common people sat in restaurants and teahouses along the way, watching the lively scene and couldn't help sighing.
"With so many carriages, how many guests must there be? Can the Princess's Mansion accommodate them all?"
"You are worrying for nothing. Everyone in Da'an knows that His Majesty dotes on his only sister and would never give her anything she wants.
Do you know the big farm behind the Princess's mansion? It was given to her by His Majesty a few years ago, specifically for the Princess to tend to the flowers and plants."
"What do you young people know? If it weren't for the eldest princess, we might not even be in Da'an."
"Hey, what do you mean?"

In the carriage, Song Yanxi couldn't help but frown as she listened to the discussions coming from outside.
Song Baozhu, who was sitting opposite her, listened with great interest, even lifting the curtain and ordering the driver, "Go slower."
She was wearing a peach pink dress today, with exquisite makeup, and any gilded hairpin on her head was worth a hundred taels.
Ever since she got on the carriage, she began to complain that it was too small, the cushions were not soft enough, and the herbal incense in the carriage was too cheap.
Even when Song Yanxi was bored and reading a medical book, she was called a blockhead and uninterested.
She even said shamelessly that they were sisters and she would teach her how to be a princess praised by everyone.
In response, Song Yanxi just turned a deaf ear to it and didn't even say a word of rebuttal.
It's not that she has a good temper, but she disdains to talk to Song Baozhu. She even didn't even look at her since she got on the car.
After all these years, she seems to have made no progress.
I don't know if Song Huai'en was possessed by a ghost, but he actually thought that by sending this kind of stuff to the Princess's Mansion, he could become a royal relative.
He himself is ignorant. Could it be that he thinks that all those royal relatives are blind?
The coachman ignored Song Baozhu's words and drove the carriage steadily across the street, keeping pace with another carriage that was heading to the Princess's Mansion for a banquet.
Song Baozhu happened to lift the curtain and look outside. Seeing this, she was immediately displeased and said in a low voice, "Hurry up! How can a princess' carriage lag behind others?"
Song Yanxi raised her eyes and looked at her, saying coldly: "You are not hopelessly stupid."
At least, he knew to speak behind people's backs.
Song Baozhu frowned and asked angrily, "Didn't Daddy say that you are now a princess and your status is different from before? Why are the people under you still so timid?"
Song Yanxi ignored her, lifted the curtain and glanced at the carriage outside, saying, "The person sitting in that carriage is the current Prince An."
"Prince An?" Song Baozhu's eyes lit up instantly.
Among the princes, Prince An is the most gentle. It is said that he treats all his wives and concubines equally.
If I could marry him as his concubine, my life wouldn't be too difficult.
Song Baozhu looked at another carriage that was obviously much more luxurious and asked impatiently, "Hey, whose carriage is that?"
Song Yanxi loosened her grip, letting the bamboo curtain fall on her pointed fingers. She said softly, "If you really want to know, you can ask yourself."
"You!" Song Baozhu withdrew her hand in pain, her eyes full of resentment, "Father is right, you are really narrow-minded. You are just jealous of me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the driver's laughter was heard outside.
He said respectfully, "My lord, I'm sorry, I really can't help it."
The people in Prince Jin's Mansion have undergone special training, and they will not laugh easily unless they can't help it.
If he wasn't afraid of causing trouble for the princess, he really wanted to open the skull of this Baozhu and see what was inside.
Not to mention someone with eyes to see, even a blind person would know with just ears that she is no match for the princess.
How dare she say that their future mistress is jealous of her?
What are you jealous of her?
Jealous that she is uglier than she is, or jealous that she appears dumber?
Song Baozhu had never thought that a coachman would dare to laugh at her. She gritted her teeth and shouted angrily, "Song Yanxi, I order you to chop him down!"
Hearing this, Song Yanxi's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Did Song Huai'en tell you this before he left?"
Startled by her look, Song Baozhu said stiffly, "Dad said, once you enter the Princess's Mansion, you must obey me in everything."
Song Yanxi pulled the corner of her lips, "Stupid."
"You!" Song Baozhu wanted to scold her, but Song Huai'en's instructions before leaving the house echoed in her ears.
He said, "Baozhu, once you enter the Princess's residence, stay away from her and don't provoke her.
Your sister is not someone you can get along with easily."
Song Baozhu thought that she had always had everything she wanted in Lianyuan, and had been loved by her parents since she was a child. Even her younger brother could not compare to her.
It makes no sense. You should be afraid of a woman whose father doesn't love her. She was previously married and her husband despised her. He refused to touch her even a finger after two years of marriage.
The reason why she was able to marry into the Jin Palace was simply because the royal family valued her kindness and mercifully allowed her to become a concubine.
What is there to be afraid of when a man who is not even as tall as a strand of her hair from head to toe?
Could she possibly eat her?
Song Baozhu thought so and said with a look of disgust: "You should smile more often and stop putting on such a dead face. Prince Jin didn't marry you home as a concubine to bring bad luck upon himself."
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes and asked, "Do you know how to please your husband as a concubine?"
Meeting her excited eyes, Song Yanxi said coldly, "Our family has always been about being someone's legal wife. We can't learn to behave like your mother in a brothel."
Song Baozhu blushed and said angrily, "Your mother is a brothel girl, my mother is a charming woman!"
Song Yanxi frowned, "Have you really read the Four Books and Five Classics?"
"What are the Four Books and Five Classics?" Song Baozhu snorted, disdainfully saying, "Why read those sour books? Men don't like them."
As she spoke, the look of disdain in her eyes grew stronger as she looked Song Yanxi up and down.
After a while, she shook her head and said, "Just like your mother, you're so hypocritical and dull. No wonder General Lin doesn't like you."
She felt her disparagement wasn't enough, and puffed out her chest, saying, "If it were me, I would never have ended up being kicked out."
Song Yanxi chuckled and asked, "How about I help you get married into the General's Mansion?"
Song Baozhu's expression suddenly changed, and she cursed, "Who are you insulting? How could I possibly be interested in a man you don't even want?"
She didn't know what she was thinking about, but a smile appeared in her eyes, and she said with great longing, "I heard that Prince An and Prince Ning are both very handsome, even more so than Prince Jin. I wonder how handsome they are.
If I could marry them, even as a concubine, it would be better than marrying those poor scholars."
As she spoke, she pretended to be concerned and asked, "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Jin kills without blinking an eye, and is as ferocious as the demons in hell. Are you afraid?"
