Chapter 109 The Princess Who Has Been Small by 3
With a slight toss, the white silk in her hand passed through the beam. She stepped on the stool and tied the white silk into a tight knot. She stuck her head into the knotted loop with a blank expression, and kicked the embroidered stool under her feet.
It's over... All worries can go away...
"Hey, we are really unlucky. If we serve this person, I am afraid that we will never have the chance to be successful in our lifetime."
"That's right, we are the only people in such a big princess mansion, how many jobs does one person have to do! Who made the princess unfavorable? Tired us palace people are also unlucky!"
"I said she deserved it! A golden branch and jade leaf, what kind of man do you want, but you want to rob someone else's husband! Hmph! It's no wonder that such a self-deprecating thing will be rejected by the emperor and queen mother." .”
"That's true, but the most embarrassing thing is that Xianggong snatched her but didn't keep her. In the end, she became a widow and a laughing stock of the royal family. Can the emperor and the queen mother not despise her?"
"The princess is amazing, can the princess bully others? She deserves what happened to her!"
"Fortunately, she still has self-knowledge. Knowing that she has no face to face others, she has been hiding in the room. Let's not talk about it. I will be there soon. It would be bad if the princess heard what we said."
The two palace servants quickly put away the contempt on their faces, and looked respectful. It was hard to believe that those words just came from the mouths of these two people.
The two came to the princess' residence and knocked on the door, "Princess, it's time for dinner."
……
They knocked twice more, seeing that there was still no response in the room, they looked at each other suspiciously.One of them boldly pushed open the door and walked in cautiously, "Princess, we're coming in... ah—"
The palace man who went in first let out a scream, and kept backing away in panic, until he retreated to the door and tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground.
"What's wrong, what happened?"
Another palace man rushed into the room, she also screamed, and then sat down on the ground.
The princess they were talking about had a foot of white silk hanging around her neck, hanging in the air motionless.
Princess Leping.
The name of the next host displayed on the light sphere surprised the little girl.
Her host is finally not a monk or a nun.And the princess, what a noble name, she sounds like a rich master, maybe she can make a lot of money this time, and make up for the discount from Miejue Shitai.
wait, no!
The little girl suddenly thought that a dignified princess would come to her place after her death, she must have had a bad life in her life, she must be unfavored!The unfavored princess is not as good as the servants around the nobles in the palace. Sometimes she can't even eat enough, and she doesn't even have any property on her body.
Tsk, it seems that her wishful thinking is about to come to nothing.
Sure enough, after the person came, the little girl became more convinced of her thoughts.
This princess is about fifteen or sixteen years old. She is dressed in plain palace attire and does not wear any makeup. She should have bloomed like a flower, but her face is ashen and her skin is dull. Ash.
Even though she was not the patron, the little girl still put her hands on her chest and bowed in salute: "Welcome, Your Royal Highness."
Princess Leping's eyeballs moved, and she finally showed a hint of expression, saying: "It's been a long time since anyone has been so respectful to me..." The melancholy and nostalgia in the words made people feel sad.
"Don't you know who I am?" she asked.
The little girl froze for a moment, "Is this important?"
"If you knew who I belonged to, you wouldn't treat me like this." Princess Leping smiled bitterly. "Anyway, you're not the first, and you won't be the last. I'm used to it..."
Leping, Leping?
From what she said, she must have done something earth-shattering and shameless.But no matter how much the little girl thought about it, she couldn't remember where this Princess Leping came from.
"Few people may know my name, but if I tell you who my husband-in-law is, surely you will know."
"Chen Shimei, my husband's name is Chen Shimei."
"Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian!?" The little girl jumped up in surprise, "You are the princess that Chen Shimei abandoned his wife and son to marry!?"
"What does Chen Shimei have to do with me abandoning his wife and son? I didn't let him do it?" Princess Leping suddenly threw herself on the ground and cried loudly, "Why do you say that about me!? This marriage is an imperial one. I was bestowed by my brother, and the matchmaker was the guarantor of Eight Emperor Uncles. They all thought that Chen Shimei was good, so they betrothed me to him. I have never seen Chen Shimei in the deep palace. Even Chen Shimei doesn’t know, so how could I compete with Qin Xianglian for her husband? In the end, when something happened, Brother Huang and Uncle Eight Emperors all put the blame on me, how innocent am I!?”
The little girl thought for a while and said, "But when you knew Qin Xianglian existed, didn't you want to accept her?"
"Brother Huang, they want me and Qin Xianglian to serve as one husband together! Don't say that I am a princess, even if I am not a princess, I am not willing to give my husband to others. How can I agree to their request? I want to share with them Chen Shimei reconciled, but the queen mother said that there is no reconciled princess in the royal family..."
There are no divorced princesses, only widowed princesses...
The little girl nodded with concern.In the Song Dynasty, because of the prevalence of Zhu Cheng's Confucianism, women were deeply imprisoned and oppressed. What kind of good woman does not serve her second husband? Starving to death is a small injustice. If you die, you will almost be immersed in a pig cage.In such a social background, patriarchy is infinitely magnified, and women become men's accessories.If He Li, wouldn't he challenge the bottom line of a man?What's more, the princess is still a role model for women, how dare the royal family let her challenge the etiquette?It's better to be a princess from the Tang Dynasty, and the noodles should not be too popular.
"Then Qin Xianglian kept saying-I should worship you when it comes to national law, and you should take me as a judge when it comes to family law. Marry first and then marry regardless of size. I'm right and you are biased. Bao Zheng also said-you are a golden branch and a jade leaf. , ended up in a side room." Princess Leping said angrily, "I am a majestic princess who should have had a happy marriage, but was pushed into the wolf's den by the emperor, and ended up in a side room. They didn't ask me when they gave the marriage My opinion! Chen Shimei is already in her 30s, and I still feel aggrieved by marrying him!"
"Since you don't like him, you still went to the palace and begged the queen mother to make the decision, and wanted to save him?" The little girl was puzzled.
"I've only been married for three months and I'm going to be a widow. I, I'm not convinced!" Princess Leping burst into tears, "I'm the sister of the emperor's brother and the same mother, the most honorable among all the princesses, and I married someone In the future, fate will be the most difficult. The imperial sisters sneered in front of me. I just want to prove to them that I will never lose to them no matter when! If Chen Shimei dies and I become a widow, how can I have any face? Appear in front of them!?"
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, innocent and innocent, and growing up with a lot of pets, his self-esteem must be extremely high, but in the end he stumbled in the marriage, no wonder he couldn't think about it.It is said that marrying is a woman's second reincarnation, and the kind of person she marries determines the kind of life she will live in the future.Tsk, if you marry someone who has been married before, you will become a bullying woman in other people's mouth.
"It's not my fault that I was born as a princess. I also followed my will when I married Chen Shimei. It's not my fault that Chen Shimei abandoned his wife and children in order to seek prosperity and wealth. Why was I the one who was criticized by everyone in the end!? Chen Shimei died and died. But I was still living in this world and was ridiculed and humiliated. In the end, even the imperial brother who gave the marriage, the eighth emperor uncle who was the matchmaker, and the empress mother who disagreed with me and divorced all alienated me, thinking that I had disgraced the royal family."
"That's why you can't end your depression. No wonder you look haggard now." The little girl looked at her sympathetically, "Didn't you tell anyone about these grievances?"
"They all despise me, who can I tell?" Princess Leping wiped her tears and hiccupped, "I know that Lord Yan will punish him according to what he has done in his life. I just want to say I really don't have a husband who bullies others and robs others. If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate? I, I don't want to go to hell, go up the mountain of knives and go down the pan of oil..."
"Do you want to be reborn?"
"Rebirth?" Princess Leping was taken aback.
"Yes, if you could be born again, what would you do?"
Princess Leping thought for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "I must reconcile with Chen Shimei. If my mother doesn't agree to my reconciliation, I will be killed at the worst. Anyway, I have already died once, so why should I be afraid of the second time?" Is it? I still want to wash my grievances and prove my innocence, and I will no longer be the laughing stock of Da Song." She paused, and then said: "If possible, I want to be a person who will last forever, not like the current Such a bad smell for thousands of years..."
"The matter of Heli should be fine, but it may not be easy for the name to last through the ages. Isn't your ancestor's requirement for the royal princess 'to guide her with virtue and treat her with courtesy'?"
Because Princess Taiping and Princess Anle interfered in politics in the Tang Dynasty and caused disasters, the Song Dynasty clearly stipulated that princesses and even sons-in-law were not allowed to interfere in politics, and they were not even allowed to associate with officials.This also resulted in the fact that there were not many famous princesses in the Song Dynasty. The most famous one was Roufu Diji. This was because this was the first case of a real and fake princess in history. Whether it is true or not, there are different opinions, and it has become a mystery through the ages.
"That's right, forget it." Princess Leping smiled, "I'm already very satisfied to wash away my grievances."
"You don't have to be discouraged." The little girl said, "This is your request, and I will naturally fulfill it for you. This is my duty."
Princess Leping's eyes lit up, "Really?"
The little girl nodded and said, "Of course, but I have prepared some things for you. But I can't give you these things for free, you need to buy them. It's about 120 million taels..."
"120 million taels!?" Princess Leping was stunned and said, "Although I am a princess, I don't have so many taels of silver."
"It's okay, it's okay." The little girl smiled and narrowed her eyes, "It doesn't have to be silver, you can use your dowry as well, as long as the exchange is equivalent."
