The emperor's daughter is always different from ordinary women.
As Youqing listened to Kangxi's words, he didn't know whether he should call him naive.
As for the Second Princess, Youqing roughly knew her thoughts. She was somewhat arrogant, and even if she really regretted it, she would never come back. This was the path she had chosen against her will. To make her turn back, she would have to hit a brick wall and suffer a bloody head injury. Otherwise, she would not turn back.
However, this fatherly love is genuine.
"I'll give Lady Fucha a little nudge when she comes to pay her respects tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble."
Emperor Kangxi was angry at the Second Princess for her lack of ambition, but he couldn't really ignore her.
At the Fucha residence, Namuzhu and the Second Princess's wedding night was not very joyous. The Second Princess felt disgusted just thinking about how Namuzhu was entangled with a maid, unable to part with her.
So he wasn't allowed to touch her, and Namuzhu had no interest in it either. That night, Namuzhu spent the night on the soft couch in the new house.
Both of them hadn't rested well, and when they woke up the next day, their eyes were dark and they looked like newlyweds, except for their pale complexions.
After serving tea to the elders of the Fucha family, the Second Princess couldn't wait to leave the Fucha family and return to her own princess residence.
She couldn't stand it for even a second longer.
The Fucha family was furious at the Second Princess's behavior, but they couldn't do anything about it. The Emperor's daughter had the ability to be so willful.
Namuzhu was also unhappy with the Second Princess's lack of respect, so he refused to serve her and did not go to the Princess's residence with her.
So the two began living separately the day before their marriage.
Mrs. Musca was furious: "You child, can't you just go along with her? She's a princess."
Namuzhu said with a disdainful look, "It's not like I begged her to marry me."
Mrs. Maska fell silent upon hearing this. She was angry too; she was angry that her son was disobedient, and she was still angry that her princess daughter-in-law was behaving this way.
Her son was born to collect debts, but seeing his sullen face, she couldn't do much, since she knew he was unhappy about marrying a princess.
Fine, she decided to ignore it.
It's not necessarily a bad thing that the son and princess are estranged.
Youqing had also heard about the Second Princess's actions and was not surprised.
Consort Rong learned of her daughter's ordeal the next day. Naturally, she was heartbroken, but in her grief, she also felt that this was not a solution.
Why did the Third Prince choose a member of the Fucha family as the consort for the Second Princess? The Second Princess was naive, but Consort Rong knew perfectly well that the Fucha family was powerful and the Third Prince wanted to arrange a marriage.
Consort Rong herself couldn't help her son much, so she had no objection to her daughter marrying Namuzhu. She thought that since her daughter was a princess, the Fucha family would give her a respectable life no matter what. But she never expected such a thing to happen right after the wedding.
Thinking about her daughter's future, Consort Rong couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If she had known this would happen, she should have chosen someone else. She hadn't found out what kind of person Namuzhu was, which led her daughter into a pit of fire.
"Should His Majesty send someone to the Fucha family to give them a warning?"
The old nanny standing to the side shook her head: "I haven't heard of the palace sending anyone to the Fucha family, nor have I heard of sending anyone to the princess's residence."
Upon hearing this, Consort Rong's expression turned somewhat angry: "His Majesty treats my daughter very well; it must be because that vile woman whispered in His Majesty's ear."
The old woman didn't say anything more, but she didn't agree with what she said. The second princess and her husband had just gotten married. If the palace really sent someone to warn them, the Fucha family would immediately show weakness, but they might take their anger out on the princess later.
However, she was in a fit of anger, so the nanny dared not say such a thing.
On the other hand, the Third Prince knew about this news before his mother, but he did not express it. Although he felt that the Fucha family was ungrateful, he also felt that his sister was making a mountain out of a molehill.
If we're talking about who cares most about the Second Princess, it has to be the Third Princess. She's getting married next month, and the Second Princess's wedding hasn't been going well. The Third Princess's shyness about getting married has instantly turned into timidity, fearing that she might also encounter a reckless and unruly consort.
If that were the case, she wouldn't have the guts to make a scene.
When the Empress Dowager found out, she could only sigh and mutter, "What a tragedy!"
I don't know who they're talking about for committing this sin.
The second princess lived in the princess's residence, where she lacked nothing. Namuzhu also lived in the Fucha family's residence. The young couple began living separately shortly after their marriage.
The Fucha family wanted to persuade him, but Namuzhu declared that he would become a monk if anyone asked him to go.
This is no small matter. If Namuzhu really becomes a monk, the Second Princess will be burdened with the reputation of being angry that her husband has become a monk. If this gets back to the palace, His Majesty won't hold it against the child, but he will inevitably take action against the Fucha family.
Let's just leave it at that.
As the day approached for the audience with the Empress Dowager and the Empress, all the ladies of the court were eager for a good show. The ladies of the Fucha family all felt ashamed. This whole affair had made none of the Fucha family happy.
If it weren't for the fear of being blamed by the palace, Lady Mascare would have preferred to simply feign illness and not go.
After everyone had paid their respects, the Empress Dowager inquired about the close relatives of the imperial family. After she finished asking, she brought up the Second Princess.
"I heard that the Second Princess and her husband had a falling out?"
The second princess's face stiffened. She regretted it as the matter spread like wildfire. She had a lot to lose. If she had known it would turn out like this, she would have dragged Namuzhu with her even if she had to move to the princess's residence. After all, outsiders didn't know what was going on in the princess's residence.
Later, she did want to go back, or let Namuzhu live in the princess's residence, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. In addition, Namuzhu ignored her, so the second princess was even less willing to be the one to back down first.
The second princess was not good at speaking and kept her head down.
Maska's wife had no choice but to apologize.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was Namuzhu who offended the princess. I originally intended to go to the princess to ask for her forgiveness, but I was afraid that the princess was still angry, so I thought I would wait until the princess calmed down before visiting. This is my fault for not raising my son properly. I hope Your Majesty and the Empress will punish me."
Maska's wife was quite eloquent; she made it sound like Namju was leaving the second princess hanging because she was afraid Namju's anger hadn't subsided and she didn't want to upset her further by visiting. In doing so, she made the unreasonable claim seem reasonable.
The second princess was furious upon hearing this.
The Empress Dowager understood the situation. She felt that enough had been done, so she didn't intend to punish the Fucha family, but she still wanted to give them a warning.
"It's not a big deal. The Second Princess has been by my side for a while, and I know her temperament best. She's easy to talk to. The young couple has just gotten married, so there's no reason for them to live separately. There's no better time than today. I'll have Namuzhu move to the Princess's residence when we get back today."
Mrs. Maska bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty is right. I was not careful enough."
The Empress Dowager continued, "The Second Princess has been spoiled by my upbringing and can't stand being wronged. I've heard that Namuzhu is a considerate child. I hope I didn't mishear."
