After King Chen calmed down, he realized what he had said. He regretted it a little. After asking the maid, he learned that Princess Chen had gone to the back garden alone.
At this time, the sky had turned dark.
At night, the light in the back garden is dim, the flowers, plants and trees are silent, only the sound of gurgling water echoes in my ears.
King Chen walked along the corridor for a long time holding a lantern before he saw a light burning in the pavilion in front of him.
Jiang Ying sat alone in the pavilion, looking at the gray garden, not knowing what she was thinking.
King Chen walked up the stone steps.
There was only one maid standing quietly in the corner of the pavilion. Jiang Ying sat alone at the table, her back looking lonely and deserted, and her whole body was filled with the aura of being lost.
"I just lost my mind with anger. I didn't really blame you for what I said." King Chen walked into the pavilion, put the lantern on the table, and sat down next to her, "Ying'er, I I don’t really want to blame you, I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
Jiang Ying said nothing and stared blankly outside the pavilion.
"The king seems to be having a bad time lately, everything is not going well. His father has been neglected, his mother and concubine have lost power, Qianqi has disappeared, and now he can't even marry a concubine..." King Chen said in a gloomy voice, "One thing after another. This incident has made me mentally and physically exhausted, and I cannot help but feel a sense of despair and powerlessness."
Jiang Ying looked into the depths of the garden and said in a calm voice: "In the heart of the prince, I am a jealous, jealous and scheming woman?"
King Chen hesitated: "No, you are very virtuous."
"Is it true that the more virtuous I am, the more the prince demands from me?" Jiang Ying said coldly, "The person who granted Qin Zhilan's marriage is the emperor. If the prince is angry, he can take it out on the emperor. What's the point of taking it out on me, a woman?"
King Chen's expression froze and his expression turned cold involuntarily: "Jiang Ying, I have humbled myself and apologized to you, but you are so unwilling to forgive me. Do you want to imitate Chu Yunfei's temper?"
"Today Princess Zhan also said that the more irresponsible a man is, the more gentle and considerate his wife needs to be, and be virtuous and give in at all times." Princess Chen turned to look at him, with a mocking arc at the corner of her mouth, "I always thought she was trying to comfort herself. , but when I saw that the King of War was considerate of her, loved her, and gave her three peonies in front of so many people, without caring about what the emperor thought or trying to please other women, I realized that this He is a responsible man.”
King Chen's face was gloomy: "Do you think the King of War is a responsible man, don't I?"
Jiang Ying asked, "Does the prince think he is responsible?"
"So in the final analysis, you just want to monopolize me and let me pamper you, right?" King Chen stood up and stared at her coldly, "Jiang Ying, when did you become so selfish and narrow-minded?"
Is she selfish and narrow-minded?
Jiang Ying's face turned pale, and she raised her head to stare at King Chen's gloomy face, with a self-mockery gradually appearing in her eyes.
Is she selfish?
Since marrying him, she has gone to the palace every day to greet the imperial concubine. She treats the imperial concubine as her own biological mother and is as filial to her. She treats the fifth princess well and loves the fifth princess as her own sister.
Every time she goes back to her parents' home, she never reports good news but not bad news. She says that her husband is very considerate, considerate and gentle to her, and that he is the best husband in the world.
He wanted to marry his concubine, and she got along with Qin Zhilan like good sisters, but in the end she was accused of being selfish and narrow-minded.
She didn't know what else she had to do to make him feel that she was not selfish or narrow-minded.
"If the prince thinks that I am selfish and narrow-minded, you can divorce me with a divorce note." Jiang Ying sneered and said with great sadness, "Can I give up the throne? I can be a sensible woman, invite myself to the court, and replace the official. Give up the position of concubine and leave it to the Qin family girl. Doesn't this show that I am tolerant, generous, gentle and virtuous——"
Snapped!
A crisp slap sounded, and Princess Chen's unfinished words came to an abrupt end.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
The maid standing in the corner was so frightened that she knelt down with a plop, not daring to breathe.
Jiang Ying covered her face in confusion and stared at the furious man in front of her in disbelief: "Your Majesty, hit me?"
King Chen regretted it after taking action.
But when he took the initiative to apologize, he had already sacrificed his face. Unexpectedly, Jiang Ying was not only ungrateful, but also forced her every step of the way. Did she really think that she had learned something from Chu Yunfei and invited herself to the court to threaten him?
The hands have already been moved, and it is impossible to lower the head again.
King Chen said coldly: "You are getting more and more presumptuous! I have been in contact with Chu Yunfei a lot recently, and I have learned all her bad habits! Don't go out again in the next few days, stay in the inner courtyard and reflect on it."
Leaving these words behind, he turned around and walked away.
Jiang Ying sat alone for a long time like a stone sculpture.
The maid who had been kneeling aside for so long felt uneasy. She opened her mouth several times to shout, but swallowed it back every time the words came to her lips.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ying stroked her hot cheek and smiled sadly.
This was the first time she had been beaten.
Growing up, even her parents never touched her. Although her father did not pamper her like a princess, her upbringing was first-class, and her food and clothing were also first-class. .
There are many servants in the house, well clothed and well fed.
Music, chess, calligraphy and painting are all taught by famous teachers.
As the eldest daughter of the family who had high hopes from her parents, Jiang Ying had lived a life of being a master since she was a child, and was carefully served by her servants. When she went out, the ladies of various families held her in their arms like stars holding the moon.
She has never been wronged in the slightest, and has never had anything unpleasant happen to her.
All the grievances, forbearance, and inclination to please others in her life began when she married King Chen. She endured humiliation for his great cause, befriended the daughters of courtiers outside, went to the palace every day to greet the imperial concubine, and tenderly Befriending the fifth princess and giving out countless expensive gifts made Rong Jinyue fall in love with her.
She was even more humble and obedient in front of King Chen, and never showed any disobedience. Even though she was unwilling in her heart, she still showed the magnanimity that a good wife should have and agreed to let Qin Zhilan enter the palace as a concubine, even though she knew that once she really entered the palace , will definitely become her fierce rival in the future, but she still lowered her figure to accept the matter.
But what did he give himself in return?
Jiang Ying sat down at the table numbly, smiling foolishly, but her eyes gradually turned red, and her eyes were sad and sarcastic.
She laughed at Chu Yunfei every day for almost becoming a concubine, but it turned out that she lived a much more prosperous life than she did. When the war king dared to divorce his wife, she dared to complain to the emperor. As a result, she herself was unscathed, but the war king was punished with a cane. .
In the end, the emperor supported her.
Chu Yunfei dared to order the maid to slap Zhao Yunrou for scolding him in front of so many noble ladies. What if it was him? Will King Chen force her to apologize to the other party?
Chu Yunfei dared to refuse to marry Rong Cang as a concubine in front of the queen, and the queen was not angry at all.
He tried so hard to marry a concubine for his husband, but he suspected that he was hindering it.
Is there any woman more miserable than her?
