As the matriarch of the household, didn't she know?
Host, Princess Consort Cui of An previously managed the inner court very well. Besides, those people wouldn't bully anyone to her face. Every time she went to pay her respects, everyone acted friendly and cordial. Who would have known they were like this behind her back?
Moreover, Lady Yu did not proactively inform Princess An of the matter, so Princess An herself was unaware of it.
Princess An was also misled! She thought everyone was getting along very well!
Alas...it's just so pitiful that Lady Yu is bullied and harassed every day!
Prince An: Lady Yu?
Could it be the wife of his newly adopted son?
He remembered that her name was something like Yu.
Prince An's brows furrowed deeply, like wrinkles tightened by a string.
Not only could their Akhal-Teke horses appear in the mule and horse market, but their newly returned daughter-in-law was also bullied!
What kind of place is their Prince An's Mansion?
All the officials in the court were staring intently at Prince An, which made him feel very embarrassed.
My mood became even more depressed.
The Crown Prince raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised that Prince An's residence was so lively.
It seems the gossip-eating crowd needs to shift its focus.
Host, the wives of Prince An's other sons are all daughters of high-ranking officials, a perfect match in terms of social standing. Even their concubines are daughters of minor officials, still daughters of officials. How could they possibly be happy to suddenly become sisters-in-law with a peasant girl on equal footing with her?
Guagua, prejudice is truly a mountain. What's wrong with peasant girls? People need food to survive. Without farmers and the support of the lower classes, could they still enjoy their comfortable lives in the royal lineage?
Their thinking is seriously flawed!!!
Remember, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!
Upon hearing Shen Mingzhu's words, Prince An felt as if he could no longer hold his head high.
Emperor Jingyuan: Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Well said!
The entire court of officials said: "Listening to Lord Shen's words is better than reading books for ten years."
Su Huaiyuan: I'll remember, I'll remember, I'll remember!!!
Crown Prince Yan Beichen: My Crown Princess is truly amazing!
His vision is truly remarkable; she's a perfect match, a match made in heaven!
Host, should we tell Prince An or Yan Yunci? It's not right for Lady Yu to be bullied every day in the Prince's mansion. They're getting even more outrageous now. It started with verbal abuse and insults, and now they've physically assaulted her. Today, they even pushed her into the garden lake! If Qin Ruyu hadn't grown up in the wilderness and knew how to swim, she'd be reporting to the King of Hell by now!!!
Prince An: Push someone into the lake!
That's outrageous!
He really couldn't take it anymore!
Having watched countless palace dramas and read numerous novels, Shen Mingzhu immediately guessed what would happen next.
All the officials and civil and military officers looked at Prince An.
Prince An glared fiercely at everyone.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a prince as handsome as me before!"
"Snort!"
All the officials: What's with the fierce attitude!
He got angry out of embarrassment!
However, because of Prince An's status, all the civil and military officials acted like quails, silently lowering their heads to look at their toes.
Thinking of his son, who was on duty at the Hanlin Academy, Prince An was furious.
How could he not know how badly his wife was being bullied?
What are those two holes in Yan Yunci's head for?!
Guagua, do you see that? This is the downside of having too many women.
Host, the Great Yan Dynasty, practices a system of one wife and multiple concubines. Just like your parents, who have been deeply in love for so many years, they also have two concubines!
Shen Changyuan: Let's talk about Prince An. Why are you bringing me up?
It's nothing to brag about that your father has two concubines!
Shen Mingzhu: Dad, which eye saw me showing off?
This is blatant irony!
"Guagua, I think I've figured it out. Most men like having multiple wives and concubines. Look at our beloved Emperor Jingyuan, who claims to love the Empress the most, yet he still favours one woman after another. That's why the Crown Prince's younger brothers and sisters keep being born..."
Emperor Jingyuan: My greatest love is the Empress, but because I am the Emperor, my body and my love are separate.
Shen Mingzhu: ...
Emperor Jingyuan silently defended himself in his heart, saying, "I... I had no choice in the matter."
Fortunately, Shen Mingzhu didn't hear these words; otherwise, she would have directly called the emperor a useless emperor.
Even after becoming the top leader of the Great Yan, he still can't be decisive in killing and having his word.
If you love her, give her unique love.
He loved her so much that he would disband the harem and leave her all alone, even if it meant defying the world!
If you love her, then let your child ascend the throne!
Write your will in advance, clearing away any obstacles for your son as early as possible!
What's the use of just talking?
All talk and no action!
The ultimate verbal master!!!
Why...
I'd rather believe I'm Qin Shi Huang than believe a man.
Emperor Jingyuan turned his face away, unable to see Shen Mingzhu sitting on a small stool in the back, eating and drinking.
He was afraid that if he said one thing, she would say something earth-shattering and awe-inspiring next.
Shen Changyuan: I really envy my precious daughter.
If it were your old father like me, I would have been dragged away immediately.
Ah, host, Lady Yu is pregnant. She was just pushed into the lake, and she's having a miscarriage. We need to protect the pregnancy before it's too late!
Guagua, should I tell the Crown Prince? Emperor Jingyuan hasn't used Yan Yunxuan as a whetstone yet, so it would be much easier if the Crown Prince intervened to summon the imperial physician.
Prince An: Can't you see me, a living prince?
I'm the child's grandfather!
Watch out, or I'll report you for harassing an elderly person!!!
