Xizhu... Like your elder sister, you were carefully raised by your family since childhood and were well-versed in the precepts and admonitions for women.
Everyone will tell you to cherish your reputation and maintain your family's dignity. It seems like all these rules are for your benefit, but if you think about it carefully, they are all superficial and you won't gain anything from them.
Especially in special times, reputation won't earn you anything.
Xi Zhu, I'm not afraid to tell you, I've been a selfish person since I was little. Apart from my older sister, I rarely think about others, but I feel very comfortable living this way.
Of course! These are different choices people make. We are in different circumstances, so our choices will definitely be different.
But ultimately, I know that considering others is less important than considering myself. Living a beautiful and easy life is the most important thing.
Xi Zhu…you tell me…yes or no?”
Xie Xizhu felt a tightness in her chest and a deep sense of powerlessness as she listened to Rong Ning's words.
This feeling of powerlessness is like when I was a child, standing inside the high walls of the Prime Minister's mansion, listening to the hustle and bustle of the streets outside.
You know the world outside that wall is free and happy, but you just can't get over it because you can't climb over that high wall.
Xie Xizhu chuckled self-deprecatingly a few times and replied softly, "Your Highness...who doesn't know that living for oneself is more comfortable and carefree?"
But how many people truly live only for themselves?
Your Highness is probably aware that many people in Nanyang City are criticizing you, saying that you have gone too far in this and that.
When my daughter and a few close friends whispered about you, not one of them didn't feel envious.
I admire your boldness and your ability to act recklessly.
We may envy His Highness, but we can never become like him.
As you said, the people around us teach us how to be proper ladies from respectable families. Our fathers don't have the same tolerance as His Majesty, who can accept that their daughters are becoming contrary to societal expectations.
Previously, people in Nanyang City said that His Majesty's favorite children were the Crown Prince and Princess Zhaoqing, and that you were an abandoned child, unimportant, which is why you were left to fend for yourself.
I think so too.
But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that it wasn't like that.
Your Highness, I've spoken so frankly today, so I'm not afraid of offending you if I say some of my innermost thoughts.
Yes, we admire Your Highness's courage to break with convention.
But more than that, we envy you for having His Majesty as your father, who can support you.
Even if you are ostracized by society, as long as he is there, you can continue like this.
