Like father, like son. If it weren't for her rebellious son, Wenying wouldn't be so disobedient now, giving her a feeling of being out of control.
This was unacceptable to the extremely controlling Old Madam Irgen Gioro.
All her grandchildren and granddaughters treated her with utmost respect, relying on her to receive the care of their family and to be promised a good marriage or an official position. But now, another person has appeared like this. How can she accept it?
As the matriarch of the family, he was used to a life of luxury and being high above others.
Meeting her grandmother's cloudy yet determined gaze, Wenying lowered her head. "Grandmother, how could I possibly have the chance to meet a prince? The princesses are all very busy, and I rarely get a break either. Princess Mingxuan is diligent and hardworking, and she wants me to keep up! It would be so embarrassing if I fell behind!"
Anyway, her grandmother valued her reputation the most, so there was no way she would ask her to curry favor with the prince. As long as she looked at her with those eyes, all the words in her heart would be stuck in her throat and she wouldn't be able to say them.
She's still so young, all she has to do is pretend to be clueless. After all, she's not even ten years old yet, she doesn't understand these things between men and women!
The old woman, Irgen Gioro, looked slightly embarrassed. She had the advantage of being close to the source, but if she couldn't even handle this, she was truly useless. What could she possibly rely on in the future?
Wasn't the reason I had my daughter-in-law use her connections to get into the palace so she could get close to the princes? What's the use of facing those princesses every day? She'll get married sooner or later anyway, and once she's far away from the capital, she won't be able to use her talents at all.
But she just wouldn't let herself control her and wouldn't do what she said!
Could it be that the friendship she had built over the years was truly over? If she couldn't leave a deep impression on a certain prince, all these years would have been for nothing! That's what the old lady of the Irgen Gioro family thought to herself.
She opened her mouth, but when she met her granddaughter's clear, puzzled eyes, she didn't know how to begin.
It was as if what he had said was too snobbish and domineering.
However, she still had to pretend to be a kind grandmother, and could only curse her in her heart as a blockhead!
"Besides learning things while staying in the palace, you also need to socialize more, not just with the princesses, but also with the princes. I heard you're not very good at riding and archery, so I'll have the princes teach you. We're all in the palace together, so how can you tell who's closer and who's less important?" she "advised." These were the words of someone with experience, she slightly raised her chin, looking arrogant... If you don't listen to her, you'll have nowhere to cry later!
Children their age are the easiest to like. Just spend more time with them and you'll be happy, right?
If she could actually be married to a prince in the future, wouldn't she be destined to live a life of leisure and happiness?
Others don't even have such a good opportunity, yet she still can't seize it!
Wenying's mother, Borjigit, couldn't sit still any longer—she was a descendant of the Mongols, born to a Mongol noble family. She was given the surname Borjigit only because her mother was the only daughter of that Mongol nobleman, the prince.
Therefore, she was considered the granddaughter of a prince, a very high status, and it was precisely because of her that she was able to connect with Consort Ping. However, this was not her intention, but rather she was forced by her mother-in-law. If she hadn't done it, there would probably have been a huge uproar!
At that time, her mother-in-law even wanted to commit suicide. As her daughter-in-law, she felt helpless and could only ask someone to send her into the palace.
However, she had met Mingxuan once in the palace years ago, and later went to the palace again to inquire about the situation. She felt that Mingxuan was a reliable princess, so she used her connections to send her daughter to her side.
So far, apart from the bad ideas her mother-in-law comes up with, and the few times she occasionally throws them around, she's been quite satisfied.
My daughter has learned excellent manners from the princesses in the palace, and she also has a very good friend, Princess Qixia. Everything is going very well for her!
At this moment, she became restless. What terrible idea was her mother-in-law up to? Did she want her son to teach her?
That's incredibly shameless!
If you anger the prince and are banished from the palace, that's the best outcome. If you are beaten with a rod, there's nowhere to seek justice!
She harbored deep resentment towards her mother-in-law, and the combination of old and new grievances nearly caused her to explode here.
She was about to speak.
"Grandmother, what are you saying? If you want to learn riding and archery... my brother is more reliable. He has studied for so many years and can now hit a target from a hundred paces away! Even if you're not so good, you can go to Jingrou's cousins. They were all personally trained by Prince Anqing! Several of the princes are about my age, and their riding and archery skills won't be much better than mine..."
Her seemingly naive words immediately made the old lady of the Irgen Gioro family feel a tightness in her chest. And yet, he held his head high, acting as if he was completely without fault. After all, no matter how gifted the princes were, a few years of training could not compare to the decades his brothers had spent learning.
When she heard the first part of the sentence mention her brother, the old woman Irgen Gioro wanted to get angry, thinking that this brat was disobeying her!
But when she heard the mention of Prince An's mansion, her anger subsided. Actually, it wasn't really subsided, but rather she forcibly suppressed it. She had almost forgotten that this brat had gotten involved with Prince An's granddaughter, and was no longer as easy to control as before.
She could only manage a forced smile, and after exchanging a few words with Wenying, she kicked her out.
