Yan Jingxue doesn't like the Eighth Prince at all; she doesn't want to marry a prince.
Of course, she wasn't a patient person either. When she found out that her husband dared to act recklessly, she immediately proposed a divorce.
When that family found out their son had acted so recklessly, they immediately beat him half to death and took a bunch of things to the Yan family to apologize.
He begged Yan Jingxue not to divorce him.
What is the current social standing of the Yan family? And who is Yan Jingxue?
That's His Majesty's own niece, someone who was granted the title of Princess.
His Majesty has only one biological daughter, and he treats this niece whom he raised with the utmost care.
Are you trying to get yourself killed? How dare you offend her?
But that man didn't like her.
He has someone in his heart.
When Yan Jingxue was making a fuss about getting a divorce, she discovered that she was pregnant.
After all, she was from ancient times, and hesitated for a moment.
However, despite her hesitation, she was not one to passively accept her fate.
So, she simply brought back the childhood sweetheart that her man liked.
As for a formal title, would you dare to give it to me?
The Qi family dared not give it to them.
The Qi family refused to let the woman into their home, and wouldn't even accept her as a concubine.
But Yan Jingxue had to call her in.
Finally, the green plum entered the mansion.
Yan Jingxue didn't acknowledge her at all, nor did she care about her. Everything about her, from food and clothing to housing and transportation, was arranged by the prince consort.
The prince consort felt he had wronged her, so he treated her very well.
He was even grateful to Yan Jingxue and vowed never to do anything reckless again.
That woman was originally the daughter of a sixth-rank official.
Although her background couldn't compare to Yan Jingxue's, she wasn't an ordinary commoner either.
Now that she's in the household, even though the prince consort gives her a lot of things, she still has no status.
She was someone even lower in rank than a maid.
The matriarch of the Qi family had been keeping a close eye on her for a long time, determined not to allow her to become pregnant.
The elders of the Qi family knew in their hearts that Yan Jingxue was doing it on purpose. If this woman really dared to give birth to the child, then the Qi family would be in real trouble.
It would be best if she died.
Therefore, Yan Jingxue completely ignored her, but the Qi family made things difficult for her at every turn.
He tormented her.
Even if the prince consort said something, he wouldn't dare ask Yan Jingxue to protect her.
I can only take care of it myself.
But even if he could take care of her, he still had official duties to attend to.
We can't just ignore it.
Finally, when Yan Jingxue was giving birth, the Qi family girl seized on a pretext and dragged Qingmei out, giving her a severe beating with a whip.
Yan Jingxue's first child was a girl.
She knew that Qingmei had been beaten, but she didn't care.
Anyway, it wasn't her who did it.
Once she had given birth, she slowly recovered her health and began to take action against the Qi family.
Needless to say, she had already firmly grasped what was happening in the backyard.
She gradually tamed the brothers and sisters of the prince consort.
When her child was three or four years old, she started thinking about becoming an official.
Even for these women, being appointed to official positions wasn't something that happened casually; there were assessments and other evaluations involved.
She was engrossed in studying and memorizing, completely oblivious to whether her husband and childhood sweetheart were alive or dead.
The green plum, worn down by time, has long lost its youthful beauty and charm. If it was once a pearl, now it's just a fish eye.
But Yan Jingxue is still young and beautiful, and comes from a noble family.
After obtaining an official position, she became even more dazzling.
Ten years later, the fish's eyeballs completely lost their luster.
By the time Qi Junma looked again, Yan Jingxue had already gone far away.
She doesn't want a divorce, but she has someone else outside the marriage.
When the prince consort asked her, she only said one thing: "My aunt is His Majesty, and you still managed to cheat on me, having someone else in your heart and visiting prostitutes. Is it so strange that I have someone else outside?"
The two elders of the Qi family were furious but dared not speak out.
The younger generation of the Qi family didn't even harbor any resentment. This was because Yan Jingxue's actions were truly generous.
She supported the entire Qi family, but refused to support her own husband.
Therefore, most members of the Qi family simply played dumb and pretended not to hear about her having an affair.
As for Qi Junma, ever since he was caught soliciting prostitutes and was beaten until his head was swollen, Yan Jingxue has never let him touch her again.
You can forget about ever touching it again in your entire life.
Yang had actually advised her daughter about these matters, saying that it was good that the prince consort knew he was wrong.
Yang was a gentle and mild-mannered person.
But Yan Jingxue refused. She just sneered: "My aunt has worked hard all her life to teach us women to stand up. I refuse to divorce because I don't want people to say that the girls of the Yan family always give up halfway, not because I'm afraid. I'm living a comfortable life now."
My aunt showed all women through her actions that they do not necessarily need to rely on men.
With the Qi family firmly in her grasp, what is there to fear?
The longer it went on, the more the prince consort loathed those fish eyes.
Gradually, he began to think that if it weren't for her, he wouldn't be living like this now.
He grew to loathe her even more.
Yan Jingxue, however, paid no attention.
My aunt once said that as long as you stand high enough, you won't hear what those people in the dust are saying.
Arguing with pointless people is the most exhausting thing.
If Yan Jinghan's appearance is most similar to Yan Nangui's, then Yan Jingxue's temperament and personality are most similar to Yan Nangui's.
And coincidentally, Yan Nangui only had two direct nieces, both born to Yang.
And that niece's daughter is the same; she's definitely not the type to passively accept her fate.
After Yan Jingxue understood the Eighth Prince's thoughts, she clearly told him that it was impossible.
The Eighth Prince was heartbroken for a long time, but in the end he listened to the Empress Dowager Xiang and married a woman from the Su family.
Although the Eighth Prince was foolish, he was not without heart; he was not close to Consort Xiangxian.
The Eighth Prince's Consort from the Su family was just as cunning as Consort Xiangxian.
For many years afterward, she engaged in a battle of wits with her mother-in-law.
This child is the only one Su Tong has left in her life. Naturally, she won't let go of him easily.
This kind of struggle is indispensable.
However, as time went by, no one remembered the once favored Consort Xiangxian during Emperor Jingjing's reign.
No one remembers Su Liangdi, who was once the most favored concubine in the Crown Prince's residence.
The endless fighting in the backyard is the most grueling thing.
Su Tong gradually lost all her luster.
And indeed, it turned from a pearl into a fish eye.
But that's how people are; the harder you try to grasp something, the less likely you are to succeed.
She gradually became harsh and insecure.
Knowing that the Eighth Prince was not their biological son, they were even more determined to use every means to capture him.
Even constraints made in the name of love are still shackles, let alone when there isn't much love involved.
In the end, they drifted further and further apart; it was all just superficial.
By this time, almost no one remembered that Yan Nangui had asked her to raise someone else's son.
The point is that she will ultimately be unable to hold onto him.
The wild geese flew south, and he had long forgotten about it.
She has too much to see, so why would she lower her head to look at what's under her feet?
But sometimes when I see her, I can't help but sigh, "Has Consort Xiang aged so much?"
Why does it seem like you're getting more and more harsh?
I don't understand, and I won't try to understand.
It doesn't matter anymore, none of it is important.
