She vaguely agreed that she would no longer pay attention to those little demons, and then tried hard to think about Ah Xuan's identity in this life. However, she couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried, and the changes in the golden space also made her uneasy.
She felt a strong sense of familiarity with the flame on the fox spirit Xiao Xuan's demon core.
She frowned, but still didn't say anything.
The eldest princess hesitated for a moment.
In fact, she suspected that her younger sister had really been heartbroken by the vixen, otherwise why would she abandon such a beauty?
"How can you not get married? If you don't continue your lineage, do you want to have no descendants?" she scolded in a low voice.
However, she knew her words were unpleasant and her sister wouldn't like them, so after thinking for a moment, she sighed and said, "I'll ask your brother-in-law to talk to you properly later. Your brother-in-law is gentle, unlike me, who always..."
She was adept at navigating social situations with the court officials, and her words were always impeccable. However, when facing her only sister, whom she shared the same father, she couldn't help but say things that offended others.
However, her husband, whom she married two years ago, came from a prestigious family and was upright and gentle. He was not only considerate in every way, but also understood her feelings, and therefore gave the Third Princess much advice.
The third princess was quite close to this brother-in-law.
Shen Wangshu sighed inwardly.
If it weren't for the fact that the Third Princess took her anger out on her brother-in-law for the sake of the boy she truly loved, and hadn't distanced herself from him, she might not have become so brainless.
The eldest princess had only one true husband until her death. When the second princess, who ascended the throne as empress, ordered her to commit suicide, this true husband sacrificed himself to follow her and sent his only bloodline with the eldest princess out of the capital, hiding his identity and saving his life.
Knowing that the second princess would not be at peace if he did not die, the emperor embraced a child who had died of illness and was about the same size as his youngest daughter and perished in the flames, burning himself beyond recognition.
The child who died of illness was believed to be the eldest princess's only daughter.
This is why the bloodline of the eldest princess was able to continue.
Shen Wangshu respected such people. She nodded and said vaguely, "I will listen to my brother-in-law's instructions from now on."
That... this extraordinary world always makes Shen Wangshu constantly rethink his outlook on life.
"It's good that you're obedient." The eldest princess still doted on her younger sister. Thinking of how her sister had lost her father in infancy, she felt extremely sorry for her. She didn't want to force her and wanted her to grow up happily. Besides, now that her sister understood, she no longer had to worry about her sister being won over by Consort Lin and her father. She became even gentler and invited Shen Wangshu to ride with her.
However, she was not the reckless Third Princess. Her carriage was so simple that it was unbearable to look at. Shen Wangshu looked at the dark carriage with its cotton curtains, then looked back at her own extremely luxurious palace carriage, which used crystal beads as curtains and the most gorgeous light gauze as the walls.
Although I hate to admit it, this spendthrift girl is actually happier than anyone else.
Shen Wangshu also felt that she actually preferred being a spendthrift woman to a self-disciplined and cautious person.
"Take my car." Why wouldn't you ride in a nice car? That would be crazy.
Shen Wangshu wanted to talk to the eldest princess, so he pulled her into his palace carriage and ordered the light gauze on all sides to make the street clearer.
“Extravagant.” The eldest princess sat on the soft cushion, watching Shen Wangshu lean back comfortably with an air of ease, and couldn’t help but laugh as she said, “But you are a princess, so extravagance is to be expected.”
That's incredibly unprincipled.
However, Shen Wangshu was quite pleased.
Because the eldest princess's indulgent attitude means that once her elder sister ascends the throne, she can continue to squander money.
"What has my elder sister been busy with lately, Second Brother?" Shen Wangshu paused, propped her cheek on her hand, leaned against the cushion, and looked out. She saw several spirited horses galloping through the wide street towards them in the distance.
She didn't care, because everyone knew the Third Princess's imperial carriage was so grand that even officials had to give way. Those wild horses, though aggressive, wouldn't dare bump into her! Shen Wangshu quickly switched into her spoiled and arrogant persona, chuckling casually, "The Second Prince is trying to win over several generals, seemingly wanting to arrange a marriage with some kind of general."
.
Of course, the second princess has no chance.
Because Shen Wangshu clearly remembered that there wasn't a single general in the harem when the second princess ascended the throne.
But... General?
"Marry a general, but is that general a man?" Shen Wangshu had already mastered the way of speaking in a world where women were respected.
Look, it's abnormal that a general with military power is a man...
"I know who it is. There's only one man holding an official position in the entire court." The eldest princess was clearly very calm.
Seeing Shen Wangshu looking at her curiously, she couldn't help but smile and sigh, "All you ever do is eat, drink, and have fun. You never seem to care about this. A couple of days ago, after the great victory in the Northwest, didn't a male general come to the capital? I heard he has outstanding military achievements, and the victory in the Northwest was entirely due to him. The Empress Dowager likes his sincerity and composure, and has already transferred him to the suburban camp as the commander-in-chief. The suburban camp is our only garrison in the capital, so it's no wonder that the second prince is eyeing him."
Seeing that Shen Wangshu was listening casually, the eldest princess sighed and said, "It's really not easy for a man to get to this point."
Shen Wangshu's lips twitched slightly, finding it extremely amusing.
"But I heard that the general is nine feet tall, with a dark face and is extremely ugly. I wonder how the second princess could bring herself to do that." The eldest princess thought that the second princess was really going all out for the throne.
She had also met that general, truly met him once…
He was more robust and brave than a woman, and also agile and strong; people would believe he was a woman.
The eldest princess felt sorry for the second princess, who had also worked hard, and frowned as she said in a low voice, "We can't let her get away with this."
"It definitely won't work," Shen Wangshu asserted.
"Although he's ugly and looks like a woman, we can just marry him and make him our rightful consort. And wouldn't it make up for everything if the second prince took a few more charming maids?" The eldest princess thought the second princess was really capable of doing such a thing.
Of course, she always felt that one proper husband in the household was enough, and there was no need for more men.
Therefore, the eldest princess is always surrounded by exceptionally clean surroundings.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Just as Shen Wangshu was about to tell the eldest princess in detail who the second princess's future husband was, she heard the neighing of horses and the terrified cries of servants. The palace carriage shook and stopped abruptly, then rolled forward violently.
The stunningly beautiful Third Princess's hair was askew as she watched in a disheveled state as the First Princess clung to the carriage shaft, tragically tumbling off the carriage herself.
"Your Highness!"
"Ah Luan!"
Amidst terrified screams, Shen Wangshu wished she had suckers and silently awaited the impending concussion.
A pair of strong, powerful arms gripped her waist amidst the neighing of the wild horse and lifted her up.
"Hero!" Shen Wangshu exclaimed, turning his head to see a handsome face with well-defined features.
With a broad back and a slender waist, he exudes an imposing aura.
