Princess Anyang's confinement to the palace delighted her birth mother, Consort An.
Consort An gave birth to only one daughter.
An Xin was able to rise to the rank of Zhaoyi because her daughter was favored by the emperor.
However, Princess Anyang was not close to Consort An.
She felt that her birth mother was useless.
He couldn't even win his father's favor.
Princess Anyang's most frequent saying was: "Mother! You are truly useless."
Consort An did not refute this.
She always smiles when she's with her daughter.
She felt content that her daughter was favored, even though she herself was not.
She never imagined she would have a son.
She was always grateful that she had given birth to a daughter.
If she had given birth to a son, given her abilities, she would have certainly died a terrible death.
"Your Highness is right. It is I who am incompetent," Consort An smiled humbly.
However, her heart was filled with helplessness and bitterness. She knew that in this palace, power and status were the most important things, and she herself was powerless to fight for them.
But no matter what, she will silently protect her daughter, hoping she can live a peaceful and happy life. As for what the future holds, she can only leave it to fate.
She doesn't compete or fight for anything, so probably no one pays attention to her, right?
However, she never expected that she would not die in the power struggles of the harem, but at the hands of her own daughter.
That's a story for another time.
Princess Anyang lived in Consort An's palace.
She just couldn't stand anything about herself.
Among the many residences of princes and princesses, Princess Anyang's mansion was uniquely luxurious.
Princess Anyang knew how to please her father, the emperor, from a young age.
While other children were still playing in the mud, she would go to the imperial study alone to help her father grind his pulse.
Feelings are built over time.
The emperor has many children, but only a few have been shown in public.
An Yang was sweet-talking and knew how to flatter people, so the Emperor treated her differently from his other daughters.
Princess Anyang was pampered from a young age, which made her increasingly spoiled.
In her eyes, there is nothing in this world that is unattainable.
However, when she discovered that her father also showed affection for the children of other concubines, she felt jealous.
She began to frequently slander the children in front of her father, trying to regain all of his attention.
However, her methods were too naive, and they quickly aroused the vigilance of the other concubines.
However, Emperor Rongsheng was not very close to his concubines.
The concubines wanted to bring down Anyang, but they couldn't even get close to the emperor, let alone slander Anyang by his side.
After Anyang came of age, she asked for a favor.
It means to establish a residence outside the palace.
The emperor built Princess Anyang's residence to be extremely luxurious.
This made all the princes and princesses extremely envious.
After Princess Anyang moved into the princess's residence, she refused to return to the palace.
If the emperor doesn't intervene, no one else will dare to.
Within the princess's residence, Princess Anyang indulged in pleasure and lived a life of extreme luxury.
She spent her days indulging in song and dance, showing no concern whatsoever for matters of state.
However, her arrogant behavior aroused dissatisfaction throughout the court and among the people, but no one dared to mention it in front of the emperor.
Because Anyang might have been putting on an act in front of the emperor.
When the emperor left the palace, he would often visit the princess's residence.
After learning of this, the various aristocratic families became even more eager to curry favor with Princess Anyang.
However, Anyang is becoming increasingly arrogant.
She didn't truly respect the emperor.
They just wanted to gain something from it.
After being confined to his residence in Anyang, he was very bored in the palace.
Finally, the day to leave the palace arrived, and Anyang finally regained its vitality.
He resumed his life of debauchery.
At a banquet, An Yang got extremely drunk and inadvertently uttered disrespectful remarks about the emperor.
This news quickly reached the ears of those who were interested, and they decided to take advantage of this opportunity to report Anyang to the emperor.
Soon after, the emperor received an anonymous letter listing various crimes committed by Anyang.
The emperor was greatly shocked and immediately sent people to investigate the matter. As the investigation deepened, the emperor gradually learned about An Yang's actions outside the palace, and he was filled with disappointment and anger.
Ultimately, the emperor decided to summon Anyang and question her personally. Anyang arrived at the palace in a panic, and faced with the emperor's questioning, she could not provide a plausible explanation. The emperor severely reprimanded her.
From then on, Anyang lost the emperor's exclusive favor, and her former glory was gone forever.
Jiang Hai finally relaxed.
After her failure, Princess Anyang attempted to block Jiang Hai once again.
However, this time they encountered Jiang He.
Jiang He directly engaged in combat with Princess Anyang.
An Yang looked at the face that looked exactly like Jiang Hai's, but Jiang Hai had a reckless and unruly personality.
Unexpectedly, it suited Anyang's taste even better.
An Yang put on a pitiful appearance.
Jiang He looked at the willful princess with a half-smile, a hint of curiosity rising in his heart.
He was just passing by, but was enraged by An Yang's provocation and couldn't help but attack. The fight attracted a crowd of onlookers, and the scene became quite chaotic.
However, during their encounter, Jiang He discovered that An Yang was not only a spoiled princess, but also a lecherous one.
She even dared to lay a hand on Jiang He during the fight.
Jiang He almost threw up.
Her skills were surprisingly good.
Finally, An Yang stopped fighting on her own initiative. She looked at Jiang He and smiled.
Jiang He looked at her with some surprise, thinking to himself: This princess is truly extraordinary.
He acts like a scoundrel on one hand, and pretends to be innocent on the other.
Her eyes were filled with greed as she looked at Jiang He.
Jiang He is not Jiang Hai; he had already made contributions in the assassination case.
