Unexpectedly, Princess Zilian was also impatient. Shu Jiaying didn't know what tricks this little girl was up to, so she cooperated and said, "Yes!"
"Okay, since you are pregnant, does this mean that you will not be able to serve the King of Chen in the future?"
Serve the King?
Shu Jiaying felt that this was a matter between adults, and she pointed it out clearly.
"Princess Zi Lian, I don't think it's appropriate for a little girl like you to ask such a question."
"Why do you care whether I'm suitable or not? Just answer whatever I ask."
"Well, in theory, yes."
(I wouldn’t tell you actually!)
"Well, since you're pregnant and can't serve Prince Chen, why do you insist on opposing Prince Chen's decision to take Sister Fengming as a concubine? You're a very domineering woman, don't you know? I've never seen a woman as ambitious as you. You actually want to monopolize my uncle. If it were an ordinary family, it would be fine, but my uncle is the noble prince of Luosuo State. How could he favor only you?"
“…”
Shu Jiaying didn't answer Princess Zilian's question immediately. She stared at her for a long time, until she felt uncomfortable being stared at. Then she asked, "Why do you keep looking at me like that? Are you feeling guilty because of what I said?"
Feel guilty at all!
Shu Jiaying retorted, "You're an unmarried girl, yet you actually say such weak words to an elder like me. I don't think it's appropriate, Princess Zilian. Has Master Yuluo never taught you what courtesy and respect are?"
"You... you actually dare to say that my mother raised me but didn't teach me. Do you believe I will go to the Queen Mother and report you?"
"Go ahead. I want to hear what the Queen Mother has to say. I want to see if she will really call a little girl who hasn't even grown all her hair to question me about what happened in the backyard."
"You...are you questioning me?"
"So what?"
Shu Jiaying no longer had any interest in dealing with a wild girl who didn't understand the etiquette of respect and inferiority. She ordered her to leave, "Xiaomei, I'm tired. I need to rest. You will escort Princess Zilian out of the house for me. Remember... from now on, no outsiders are allowed to enter my house without my permission."
"I obey your command, Princess Zilian... My queen needs to rest, Princess, please go back!"
“But…but…”
Princess Zi Lian didn't want to leave, but when she met Shu Jiaying's determined eyes, she could only walk out of Shu Jiaying's room embarrassedly.
Escorted by her maid Xiaomei, Princess Zilian reluctantly stepped out of the palace gate. When she reached the corner, a woman who was half a head taller than her came up to her.
As the woman approached Princess Zilian, she asked, "How's it going, Princess? Did you manage to intimidate Princess Chen this time?"
Princess Zi Lian nodded.
"Give it to..."
The woman originally thought that Princess Chen was really being taught a lesson by this unruly and willful little princess, but she didn't expect to hear the dejected and powerless voice of Princess Zi Lian later.
"It's just that Princess Chen is trying to intimidate me."
"What?"
The woman looked at Princess Zi Lian in disbelief. Princess Zi Lian was the only one in the world who bullied others. She had never heard of Princess Zi Lian being bullied by others?
The corners of her mouth trembled, and the woman still asked in disbelief: "Princess Zi Lian, I think you are joking with me, right? How could the Princess Chen be your opponent when she stands in front of you?"
