Shang Xiye carried Ji Fengyao and led Princess Zhaoping into the military camp, to the reception tent.
I had just sat down.
Without any pleasantries, Shang Xiye went straight to the point and said, "You can speak now."
Princess Zhaoping's indignant yet envious gaze lingered on Ji Fengyao's still flushed face. Startled by Shang Xiye's cold, hard words, she quickly averted her gaze and cautiously began, "Brother Xiye, Zhaoping came here to remind you that although you have won another great victory, after you return to the capital, could you please refrain from seeking credit? The Empress Dowager and the Emperor might... might..."
Princess Zhaoping found it difficult to utter those treasonous words from the Lin Shuang Sect. If she spoke them poorly, she risked angering Brother Xi Ye and causing a great disaster.
"The Empress Dowager and the Emperor may be wary of my high achievements and want to deal with me," Shang Xiye said, taking over for her.
Princess Zhaoping looked up in shock: "Brother Xiye, how...how did you know..."
She hasn't even said it yet!
Could he possibly be a prophet?
Ji Fengyao peeked her fair and rosy face out from Shang Xiye's arms and said with great relief, "The fact that you know these things means that Heaven does not want to kill you, and you can still be saved."
Shang Xiye noticed that the young wife said "you can know" instead of "you can think of," and he immediately understood: Princess Zhaoping's visit tonight was certainly not her own idea.
With Princess Zhaoping's blockheaded mind, she couldn't possibly understand these things, much less come up with these words.
Princess Zhaoping didn't quite understand Ji Fengyao's words and looked completely bewildered: "Princess Chonghe, what do you mean by that?"
Ji Fengyao's gaze was fixed on Princess Zhaoping, leaving her no way to avoid it.
In order to awaken Princess Zhaoping, Ji Fengyao even used a mind-awakening technique in her speech: "Zhaoping, no matter how secluded you are in your boudoir and how little you care about the affairs of the court, you should have heard that the late emperor originally intended for you to ascend the throne."
For example, us.
Even the position of a secondary wife is something that makes us feel like we have a fishbone stuck in our throats, and we can't feel at ease.
Between the prince and the emperor and empress dowager lies the supreme throne!
It's not wrong for a person to be naive, but if someone enters the royal family and remains so naive and innocent, that's a crime!
Because of your naivety and innocence, you will ultimately hurt yourself and the people who truly care about you the most!
Instead of wasting your energy and time blindly trying to please others, you should think about this:
In this royal power struggle,
What role do you play?
What is your value?
Why are others kind or unkind to you?
What do you really want?
Don't drift through life aimlessly, blindly following others' opinions, liking whoever others tell you to like, or marrying whoever others tell you to marry.
"You're supposed to be a noble master, yet you're constantly being humiliated and defecated on by maids and servants. Don't you feel resentful living like that?"
"I...I..." Princess Zhaoping was shocked by Ji Fengyao's words, her mind a jumbled mess, unable to make sense of it.
No one had ever said anything like that to her before.
She herself had never thought so deeply.
But upon closer examination, each of these words makes sense, yet each one is also terrifying!
Princess Zhaoping suddenly looked up at Shang Xiye, her slender fingers clenching tightly. The terrifying realization that dawned on her made her want to flee in panic: No wonder! No wonder Brother Xiye has always avoided her like the plague and has never been affectionate towards her!
"But you, you were also betrothed to the prince by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager!" Princess Zhaoping murmured in despair.
