His Majesty then ascended the throne.
When Lady Ye became Empress, no one objected. At that time, the Eldest Princess took a liking to Yan Lingyun. However, Yan Lingyun already had a principal wife.
Empress Ye then offered her advice, but the eldest princess refused to listen.
The Ye family is a respectable aristocratic family, and she disapproved of what His Majesty and Rong Ning were doing. What is a secondary wife?
No respectable family would have a concubine with a secondary wife. Isn't that just a concubine?
But she was still young then and didn't understand His Majesty's worries and concerns. She only thought that His Majesty loved his younger sister and that's why he bestowed the marriage regardless of the consequences.
I only think that His Majesty has hurt the feelings and face of the Lan and Yan families.
Later she understood.
His Majesty doesn't truly love his sister that much; he's just wary of her.
From that moment on, Rong Ning began to hate the Empress. Especially the Empress's haughty and superior attitude.
She disliked people like the Empress throughout her life, and naturally, she wouldn't like someone like Lady Lan either.
She never considered herself a concubine, and she had always thought that Lan Shi would be dealt with by her sooner or later.
Therefore, when His Majesty later wanted Cao Mi to enter the palace, Rong Ning actually gave her strong support.
She felt better because the empress was disgusting.
So under such circumstances, how could Shu Chengfeng be close to this aunt?
I wish I could strangle her to death; that would be too lenient.
Therefore, even though royal rules still apply, Shu Chengfeng readily agreed when Yan Nangui asked her to kneel.
The Crown Princess knew some of this, so sending gifts to the Princess's residence was just a formality.
It's nothing special, just a valuable but useless thing.
Thinking about this, it's clear that the Eldest Princess really can't support the Crown Prince anymore. Even a fool could tell that once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, she'll have no good days ahead.
The Yan family was very lively that day.
But amidst the liveliness, there was also a hint of awkwardness.
Because of Yan Lingyun's position, none of the princes dared to approach her directly. Although they usually had a good relationship with this aunt, they still dared not rush over on such an occasion.
In particular, without the Crown Prince's presence, the princes, no matter what, are still several heads lower in rank.
No one dared to cross the Crown Prince's path.
There would normally be some relatives present, but this time, the Crown Prince stood out too much during the trip to Chengzhou.
Many people have become cautious.
No one from the royal family came either.
Only the other princesses, who were married out of the country, did not come on their own; instead, they sent their children.
In the imperial court, only female relatives came.
The entire Meng family came, but the eldest princess still didn't think much of them.
After receiving the greetings, Yan Jinfei went to change her clothes.
Yan Jinsi followed along.
Once inside her room, she waved for the maids to leave, but they hesitated.
Yan Jinfei waved her hand: "Sister has something to say to me, you guys go ahead."
After the person left, Yan Jinsi smiled and said, "My sister is now a princess, she is indeed different now."
“What are you saying, sister? We are sisters, and that will never change,” Yan Jinfei said.
"Is that so? We're born of the same mother, sisters by blood. That's how it should be. But I can't feel it." Yan Jinsi laughed. "Look, I'm trapped in the Meng family now, struggling to survive. My sister, on the other hand, is high and mighty. I'll always remember how you persuaded Mother to send your own sister into the fire pit." Yan Jinsi said.
"Sister, you..."
"Little sister, whether people in this world are doing well or not is none of my business. But what makes you think you're doing better than me?" Yan Jinsi smiled, looking at her. Her eyes held an undisguised malice.
"What do you want to do? There are guests outside, you..." Yan Jinfei was a little nervous.
No matter how cunning she is, she is only eleven years old this year.
Yan Jinsi sneered, "Now you're scared? Too late, little sister..."
As she spoke, Yan Jinsi grabbed her hair bun and even held a few strands of her long hair in her hand.
She quickly used her hairpin to cut open the back of her hand and then shouted loudly.
"Little sister, what are you doing? Ah!"
Then he suddenly flung open the door.
Xiangsi and the others had already rushed in. Yan Jinsi had used a ruthless attack, and her hand was covered in blood.
Everyone who saw it was quite frightened.
Today, Yan Jinsi deliberately wore a light pink dress, and now the bloodstains on the dress were particularly shocking.
But soon, someone arrived.
Seeing Yan Jinsi standing there crying, her hair disheveled and stained with blood.
Yan Jinfei's face was frighteningly pale.
“Sister, you… now that you’ve become a princess, how could you be so cruel to your own sister? I only said that with your current status, you could marry anyone and have a good life, and you didn’t have to insist on going to the royal family. If you were not convinced, you could have told me. How could you be so ruthless?” Yan Jinsi cried.
The sound was so loud that everyone heard it instantly.
Although the group didn't want to whisper directly, they did exchange glances.
Everyone knows that Princess Rongning is ambitious, but Princess Jiamin is so young, yet she is also so ambitious.
He actually laid a hand on his own sister. Tsk, blood has been drawn.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" The eldest princess was furious and slapped Yan Jinsi across the face.
She was ruthless to begin with, and with the addition of the armor she was wearing, she instantly cut Yan Jinsi's lip.
This made everyone look even stranger.
This princess is really biased.
No wonder the youngest daughter has a title, while this other daughter doesn't.
At this point, who would bother to reason with him and say that this is His Majesty's will?
Isn't it all going to be blamed on the eldest princess?
"Mother, how could you... how could you treat me like this? Without even asking what happened, you just... am I not your biological daughter? Did you drug Father to create my sister, or did you create me?"
Yan Jinsi's eyes were red-rimmed; there were tears, but more so, anger and malice.
She hadn't originally planned to say those words.
But the princess's slap completely shattered her hopes.
Even if she was scheming against Yan Jinfei, was her mother so certain? Did she already believe her without even asking?
Why should I?
"You! I think you've gone mad! Guards..." The princess was furious.
"No need!" Yan Jinsi roared angrily. "I am a married woman and am no longer considered a member of the Yan family. Mother, you don't need to treat me like this. I accept that you favor my fourth sister. You would rather pity this scheming youngest daughter than me. Let alone anyone else."
At this moment, Yan Nanji and others arrived.
Originally, this place was mostly occupied by women, but now the Meng family members have also arrived.
"Third sister, what's wrong with you? Today is Fourth sister's big day, how could you be so foolish?"
Yan Nan sent his angry message.
"Ha, who do you think you are? You're a complete idiot, a total idiot!" Yan Jinsi looked at him: "Which one is your sister? Me? Her? Who do you think you are? If Mother hadn't damaged her body and couldn't have any more children after giving birth to Yan Jinfei, do you think she would have valued you?"
"Yan Jinsi! I think you've gone mad!" the princess roared in anger.
Meng Junxian quickly stepped forward and pulled her back: "Jinsi, stop fooling around, let's go back first."
