"Quickly bring out my wine, today this princess consort is going to have a good drink. Haha." The third princess consort thought for a moment and almost burst out laughing.
It has been a long time since the Third Prince rarely visited the main courtyard, and the feud between Consort Tian and the Third Prince's wife also began twenty years ago.
The Third Prince's wife wasn't particularly beautiful, but she wasn't bad-looking either. However, Lady Tian was born with a beautiful face, charming and delicate, and had a very pleasing appearance, which made her a favorite of the Third Prince. After the Third Prince's wife entered the Third Prince's household, she discovered that Lady Tian was more beautiful and more fertile than herself, and she harbored resentment for more than ten years.
"Haha, finally I've seen Tian Yu'e in her despair. Just thinking about her watching her two daughters enter the palace in despair makes me so happy I can't sleep," the Third Princess laughed heartily.
"Princess Consort, please keep your voice down. If someone hears this, they might tell the Prince..." The personal maid wrote a note to the Third Princess Consort, who was "overjoyed."
"What are you afraid of? This is my main courtyard. Do you think I can't speak freely?" The Third Princess Consort retorted, unconvinced.
Then she started drinking one glass of wine after another.
It was no secret that the Third Prince's wife was an alcoholic, and the Third Prince knew it too, but he never tried to stop her, because she didn't bother him. As for drinking, there was plenty of fine wine available!
The Third Princess's face gradually turned red. Only when she drank could she forget the loneliness of the years she had lived.
When the Third Prince was young, he was dashing, handsome, and talented, which made him a favorite of Emperor Kangxi, who bestowed many beauties upon him. This caused great suffering for the Third Prince's wife.
These women were all bestowed upon her by the Emperor, and the Third Prince's wife dared not mistreat them. Their family backgrounds were not to be underestimated, and she dared not manipulate them at will. In addition, the Third Prince did not favor her, so her position as the First Prince's wife was indeed stifling.
"Luan'er, your mother has finally avenged you. Now let that Tian Yu'e taste the bitterness of losing her own daughter." The Third Princess Consort was already drunk.
It turns out that the Third Prince's wife had given birth to a son and a daughter, making her a complete family. From this perspective, the Third Prince was actually quite astute in important matters; he had given his legitimate son and daughter to his wife. However...
The eldest daughter of the Third Prince Consort did not live past the age of two; she died of a high fever of unknown cause.
That day, the Third Prince's wife took her legitimate son back to her parents' home, but did not take her daughter. When she returned, her daughter was already in a coma with a high fever and eventually died from convulsions. The Third Prince's wife insisted that Lady Tian had bewitched the Third Prince, which was why the imperial physician was not summoned in time.
In fact, the Third Prince had summoned the imperial physician, but he was not by his eldest daughter's side. However, the Third Princess Consort stubbornly believed that it was Lady Tian who had killed her daughter.
When a woman hates another woman, it can last a lifetime.
Tian was born well and was very fertile, giving birth to two sons and two daughters.
"Fujin, Fujin~" a maid came in and said to the Third Fujin.
"What is it?" Cui Nong frowned and glanced at the maid.
"The Third Princess Consort Tian requests an audience with the Princess Consort." The maidservant quickly said to Cui Nong, seeing that the Third Princess Consort was slightly tipsy.
“I won’t see her. What would she do here to see the Third Princess at this hour?” Cui Nong asked. The Third Princess regarded Cui Nong as her confidante, entrusting her with all matters, big and small. So, Cui Nong’s refusal to see her meant that it was the Third Princess’s intention.
However, the Third Prince's wife, who was drunk, shouted, "Let her in. I haven't called her over to pay her respects in a long time."
