Kaya was still worried about her image, but the Crown Prince paid no attention to her and went straight to the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess had just vomited and had also argued with Kaya, so she looked unwell. The Crown Prince was very worried and went over to comfort her, which left Kaya stunned.
Is this Crown Prince of Beiyan out of his mind? Can't he see such a beautiful woman standing right here? Why does he only have eyes for that fat woman?
The Crown Princess was six or seven months pregnant and had gained weight, so she was indeed not as pleasing to the eye as Kaya. But in the Crown Prince's eyes, she was the most beautiful no matter what, and the two were incomparable.
Kaya was just worried about leaving a bad impression on the Crown Prince, but seeing this scene, her anger instantly extinguished her reason. Now that he doesn't even look at her properly, what's the point of her marriage alliance?
"Greetings to the Crown Prince of Beiyan."
Although she was furious inside, she still tried her best to maintain her dignity.
She is the princess of Xiteng, representing the entire Xiteng.
She could throw a tantrum in front of the Crown Princess, but not in front of the Crown Prince. Besides, this man might be her husband, so she couldn't afford to fall out with him.
"Princess Kaya, you're too kind. What brings you in such a hurry?"
The Crown Prince had heard that Kaya had come to see the Crown Princess and was worried that she would be bullied, so he rushed over to support his wife. Seeing that the two sides seemed to be having an unpleasant conversation and that his wife's expression was not good, he was not very friendly to Kaya either.
Although his words were polite, there was a hint of anger in his tone.
What? It's one thing to openly bully the people of Beiyan outside the palace, but now you want to come into the palace to bully the Crown Princess? Have I given her too much face?
Kaya also sensed the dissatisfaction in the Crown Prince's tone and felt a little sad. After all, she was born to be the most favored princess, but after arriving in Beiyan, she encountered setbacks everywhere. The contrast was too great.
But now is not the time to be sad. She still smiled and said, "This princess came to visit the Crown Princess. I am still injured and in a hurry to get back to apply medicine, so I left in a bit of a hurry."
There's nothing wrong with what he said; it was just an attempt to justify his earlier behavior, to subtly criticize He Jiuniang, and to remind the Crown Prince that she was still injured.
Killing three birds with one stone.
This shows that Princess Xiteng was not a fool.
The Crown Prince smiled slightly and said, "Then please go ahead, Princess. Oh, by the way, don't forget to apologize to the Lu family as soon as possible. The Princess represents Xiteng, and I believe the Emperor of Xiteng doesn't want the Princess to cause trouble in Beiyan."
This was a urging for her to apologize. Kaya didn't say anything, gritted her teeth, turned around, and left angrily.
"Pfft!"
Watching her walk away, the Crown Princess couldn't help but laugh out loud and asked the Crown Prince, "How come you don't know how to cherish a beautiful woman at all?"
The crown prince reached out and pinched her cheek: "What, am I not being gentle enough with you, my wife?"
Clearly not expecting him to say that suddenly, and with palace maids and eunuchs watching, the Crown Princess was extremely embarrassed and turned her head away, not wanting to talk to him.
The crown prince laughed heartily and asked, "She didn't bully you, did she?"
"No, I'm not that easy to bully."
As the Crown Princess spoke, she raised her eyebrows with a rather arrogant air. After all, she was He Jiu Niang's good friend, and she had learned a few tricks to roast people.
"That's good. If you don't like her, don't see her. There's no need to make things difficult for yourself."
The Crown Princess nodded and smiled, "I understand. Now it's up to Jiu Niang."
Under pressure, Kaya will definitely come to apologize; it's just a matter of how long she can drag it out.
When Kaya returned to her lodgings, she could no longer hold back and started crying.
She had suffered too much injustice these past few days, and after enduring it for so long, she finally broke down.
The maid beside her felt very sorry to see her crying like this, and tried to comfort her, but it was no use. She could only worry helplessly.
After crying for a while, Kaya started throwing things again, and then cried even louder.
"I'm going to kill her! She's the one who ruined me!"
She kept repeating that phrase, her eyes filled with madness.
All of this stems from He Jiuniang. If she hadn't refused to give me that set of jewelry, none of this unpleasantness would have happened, and I wouldn't have angered the Crown Prince of Beiyan, who gave me a cold shoulder on our first meeting today.
I had sent people to investigate He Jiuniang's background before, but she was just a lowly countrywoman. I don't know what methods she used to get on good terms with the Crown Princess, which is why the Crown Princess is showing her no respect today.
"Princess, this is all because Xiteng is not strong enough, which is why they bully us like this. We should write back to Xiteng and tell the Emperor how Beiyan treats us so harshly!"
The maids around her also cried, feeling that their princess was really pitiful. If the princess was not favored, then their lives as maids were not easy either. It seemed that their lives after this marriage alliance were already over.
"Yes, write to Father and my brothers and ask them to make a decision for me!"
Kaya immediately realized what was happening and told her maid to prepare writing materials.
"What is the princess doing?"
At this moment, a young man walked in from the door. He was one of the representatives of this envoy. He was young and promising and was a good friend of Kaya's brother, Denton. He came to escort Kaya to the marriage and also to try to get more benefits from Beiyan during the negotiations.
"Brother Denton, you have to help me with this, otherwise what will I do in the future? Waaaaah..."
Kaya cried terribly, so much so that she hiccuped when she spoke.
Denton wasn't at the post station these past few days. He left halfway and didn't come to the capital with us. His main purpose was to check on the current living conditions in Beiyan and conduct a simple survey. Knowing the enemy and yourself would give you a better understanding during negotiations.
I had just returned when I heard that Kaya had gotten into trouble, and I immediately felt something was wrong. I was about to check on Kaya when I heard her crying so hard.
With Denton's comforting words, Kaya finally stopped crying and recounted the events in fits and starts, including what had just happened in the palace.
"It seems that Bei Yan wants to use this incident to suppress Xi Teng."
Denton sighed, suddenly realizing that leaving halfway was a mistake. Kaya was spoiled and thought she could be as carefree in Beiyan as she was in Xiteng.
However, this incident may not be entirely bad; it can be a good opportunity to temper Kaya's temperament and help her become more composed in the future.
“Princess, you were indeed wrong in this matter. You should go to that lady’s house in person to apologize. After all, you were the one who took her things first and you were the one who struck first. It’s just that you were not as skilled as her, so you were beaten.”
Denton uttered the cruelest words without any mercy, ruthlessly trampling Kaya's arrogance into the ground.
“Brother Denton…”
Kaya was somewhat incredulous. Which side was Denton on?
It's only been a few days, has Brother Denton also been bought off by the Northern Flame people?
