The Jiaoyang and Yuehua that the Fifth Prince keeps in his heart are Miss Ren, Ren Jiayu.
That was the person he cared about so much and couldn't let go. He went to the Ren Family Army because Ren Jiayu said that he liked real men who came from the military. He helped the Ren Family Army and owed them a favor all for Ren Jiayu.
He shot the Grand Secretary with two arrows because he said that Ren Jiayu was neither male nor female. The Fifth Prince was so angry that he almost shot him to make him a real androgynous person. However, he was afraid that the matter would become a big deal and affect Ren Jiayu's reputation, so he lowered the arrow a little.
It was a pity that he was a step too late and was beaten to it by his third brother. Fourth brother was blind, and he still wanted to marry Wang Xipei? Just because he had rejected the marriage and humiliated Ren Jiayu, the fifth prince would not let him have his wish.
As for the third brother, he was in poor health, and marrying him to the third prince would be an injustice to his beloved girl. The chief judge of the Imperial Hospital said that the third prince would not live to a ripe old age, and the fifth prince was torn between feelings.
If the girl he loved were to become widowed, he would still have a chance to marry her again. But she would be very sad to lose her husband. For her, the fifth prince almost became the bodyguard of the third prince.
He was afraid that if he lost her husband, his beloved would have to go through the rumors again. Wang Xipei made some food that Ren Jiayu and her son liked, so she was of some use.
The Fifth Prince protected Ren Jiayu very well, and Wang Xipei never knew what the problem was. So she could only blame herself.
The Fifth Prince has neither a concubine nor any scandals, and he is indifferent to me. What else could it be except that I am the one with the worst problems?
She was a conscientious housekeeper, managing the palace, getting up early and going to bed late to check the accounts and inspect the manor and shops, and making all the necessary arrangements for his food, clothing, housing and transportation. She regarded herself as the mistress, and he only regarded her as a servant.
A few years later, the fifth prince wanted to marry Ren Jiayu. At that time, he no longer hid his feelings. He held her in the palm of his hand and cherished her, letting everyone know his cherishment and preference for her.
He repeatedly trampled Wang Xipei, who was still his wife, into the mud. He said to Ren Jiayu: "Just treat her as an irrelevant servant, just manage the household and accounts. Anyway, these things will be handed over to you properly."
She had just returned from a farm shrouded in snow and ice. The farmers were anxious; the sudden, unseasonable snowfall and chill had left the fruits and vegetables frozen before they could even be harvested. She had barely finished, before she could even enter the warm, heated hall, when she heard him say this to Ren Jiayu.
She was startled, then heard him say to Ren Jiayu in a gentle and doting voice, "Don't you like that mutton soup? I've already asked her to make it this morning, and I'm waiting for you to have some. It takes a lot of effort to make it fresh and not smelly. Drink more later. In this weather, eat some mutton to warm you up."
She walked into the snow again, feeling cold from head to toe, inside and out.
She recalled the third year of her marriage, when she still hadn't conceived, and all the rumors were directed at her. Since the Fifth Prince hadn't taken a concubine, it meant she was jealous and infertile.
These rumors and looks made her unable to bear it. She had been humble and humiliated and did not go to the small couch. She stayed on her own bed and asked her husband to give her a child so that she could have a foothold.
The fifth prince said, "If I have a child with you, I will not be able to be with her. I don't want to hurt her more than I want to let you gain a foothold."
At that time, she didn't know that his sweetheart was the Third Emperor's sister-in-law Ren Jiayu, and asked painfully: "Then why did you marry me? Why didn't you marry her?"
The Fifth Prince said, "If I could marry her, I wouldn't marry you. I'd marry you simply because someone humiliated her before, and I don't want to make that person unhappy. When I can marry her, you'll be divorced if you can't have children. If you don't want a divorce and insist on staying together,
Since you have such thoughts, I will not come to your yard again."
She thought this was the ultimate humiliation, but it turned out there was something even more…
The first guess that this woman might be Ren Jiayu was when the Third Emperor's sister-in-law came to visit alone one day and met her. Out of courtesy, she accompanied the Third Emperor's sister-in-law to the study. She didn't dare to go in without permission, but Ren Jiayu went in directly and casually.
Even the guards who would normally stop her faced Ren Jiayu, not only did not stop her, but also took the initiative to open the door for her.
She stood outside and heard Ren Jiayu say, "Your wife is outside."
The fifth prince said, "Don't worry about her. She doesn't dare come in and ask me for anything."
Ren Jiayu: "Just asking about that medicine, your third brother needs it urgently."
The Fifth Prince smiled and said, "When have I not been concerned about you and Third Brother? I've already ordered people to look for it. If they have it, they'll dig three feet underground to find it for you. Don't worry, it will be delivered to you in two days at most."
Ren Jiayu felt relieved after receiving this assurance, and then asked Wang Xipei, "Why doesn't she dare to come in?"
The Fifth Prince said, "Do you think everyone has the nerve to do that in front of me? Of course I won't allow it. I've punished her and the guards, so they'll learn their lesson next time."
She gave up and asked for a divorce, but the Fifth Prince said, "Wait until she's free and I can marry her. You can hold this position for her first. I don't want to go through this again."
Wang Xipei asked, "What if she never gets free? Then I will never get free, too?"
The Fifth Prince said, "It doesn't matter whether you are free or not. Aren't you the Crown Princess? What matters is whether she is doing well. If Third Prince is doing well, and she is doing well too, wouldn't you be happy for her?"
Wang Xipei, a girl as bright and warm as the sun, was at a loss.
She seldom went back to her parents' home. In this respect, she and the fifth prince agreed, fearing that her family would find out.
Now she knew that her sister had been poisoned, and the strange doctor had not been found. Her sister would be thirty in a few years, and she didn't want the whole family to worry about her anymore.
Wang Lingyi looked at her emaciated sister, whose eyes seemed to have grown larger due to her thinness, and thought about her former liveliness and current silence.
Something must have happened to my sister. The Fifth Prince, who seems to be taking good care of her, may not be a good man.
When she was alone with her sister, Wang Lingyi even lifted up her sister's clothes to check. There were no scars on her, except that she was shockingly thin.
Wang Lingyi asked a doctor to check whether her sister was poisoned. She was not. She also asked if her sister was in poor health and needed treatment. No, she was not. Apart from being too thin, she could definitely have a child.
Wang Xipei's reactions are always a little slow now. She used to be clever and eloquent, with a quick mind, but now it always takes her a while to understand what others mean.
She grabbed her sister's hand and said, "Sister, you have to take care of yourself. Even if we can't find the strange doctor, there will be other ways. I'm fine. Don't worry about me, sister. I'll eat more and gain weight." She rarely spoke so much and was really anxious.
