Wangdu.
During this period, the Jingwu Imperial Mansion became an object of public scorn.
The reason is simple: Wushui Kingdom lost the war against Yu Kingdom and is now negotiating peace.
It was called a peace negotiation, but in reality, it was about buying people out of money.
Because Guo Feng, the general of Yu Kingdom, captured the chief general of Wushui Kingdom and tens of thousands of soldiers, and the princess of Yu Kingdom actually married the most favored seventh prince of Wushui Kingdom and stayed in Wushui Kingdom. It was truly outrageous.
Countless people vented their anger on the Imperial Minister's residence.
"Why should the imperial court support the princesses of Yu Kingdom? They should exchange those three princesses for the soldiers of my Wushui Kingdom."
"Exactly! In my opinion, this war was started because of this Third Princess. She's a scourge to the country and its people!"
"His Majesty once said that keeping the Third Princess alive could help turn the people of Yu against the emperor. However, Yu has a regent, Jiang Yun, and the young emperor's throne is firmly in his grasp. Not only is turning the emperor against him extremely difficult, but it would also bring great disaster to the Wushui Kingdom."
"Who says otherwise! The Third Princess is a jinx. The Seventh Prince should divorce her as soon as possible and marry someone else. Otherwise, he will be implicated by her sooner or later. I heard that the princesses and the Third Princess of Yu Kingdom are not on good terms."
"..."
Such sounds would reach the Imperial Palace every day through various channels, and Jiang Xinwei had not left her home for several days.
She felt very frustrated and depressed.
To my utter surprise, the Wushui Kingdom was defeated, and defeated so miserably. A bunch of cowardly bullies who prey on the weak.
"Xiao Ling, do you think I was wrong? I shouldn't have started the rebellion back then. I might still be a princess of Yu Kingdom now, living peacefully in the capital."
Xiao Ling felt a pang of pity for her.
"If His Highness the Third Prince were still in the capital, I would not have been able to meet him."
Jiang Xinwei gave a wry smile.
"That's right. My connection with you was due to my elder sisters' rebellion. Someone came to assassinate me, but fortunately you saved me."
"The Third Prince was born extraordinary, and he will surely achieve great things in the future."
"I no longer believe it! Living in this Imperial Minister's Mansion is truly stifling!"
"It is indeed an injustice to Your Highness, but when one is under someone's roof, one has no choice but to bow one's head. Throughout history, which great achiever did not prioritize forbearance? Your Highness, you must be patient!"
The two fell silent.
On the covered boat.
The Seventh Prince, who wanted to give Jiang Xinwei a surprise, was so angry that he almost trembled.
On the shore, she heard Jiang Xinwei and Xiao Ling's conversation clearly.
He went through great lengths to beg his mother, the queen, to marry him off to a princess from an enemy country, and she actually felt aggrieved?
He wanted to lash out immediately, but he was also unwilling to give up.
He had tried to deal with Xiao Ling a few times before, but either Xiao Ling cleverly dodged the attack, or Jiang Xinwei glossed over it.
With Jiang Xinwei present this time, even if he had a fit, Jiang Xinwei would have easily taken care of it!
Tolerate?
Can't he tolerate it?
Once he understood this, he quickly calmed down.
Hearing Xiao Ling on the shore say, "Your Highness is in a bad mood, why don't you have someone row a boat and float on the lake? It will make you feel much better."
After a while, Jiang Xinwei said, "Forget it, neither of us knows how to row a boat, and we're both from Wushui Kingdom. It's annoying to look at each other and makes it difficult to talk to each other. Why don't we go to your Huanxiang Pavilion and enjoy tea and music?"
"yes!"
There was a rustling sound coming from the shore, and the two people left.
The Seventh Prince waited a few more moments to make sure no one was around before standing up from the boat. His gaze was fixed on the direction of Huanxiang Pavilion, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
He is still not as good as his father.
My father was ruthless enough to eliminate Liu Guijun, who was as close as a brother.
He has kept a foreigner here for so long; he has truly failed his father.
