Chapter 661: Repaying a grievance with justice
The sight of the Crown Princess kneeling and apologizing when she was caught by Sun Shaozong was enough to make her feel ashamed and angry.
Hearing this call of "bitch" now was like a bloody gash in my chest.
If only the couple were present, it would be fine, but now that there are outsiders present, the prince still treats himself like this - how can the relationship between husband and wife be so cold? !
The blush on her face immediately disappeared without a trace, replaced by a pitiful paleness.
Then she suppressed her anger and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness must be drunk. There are no servants in this room. If you need anyone to serve you, I will go and call a few people."
Having said that, without waiting for the prince's response, he nodded slightly to Sun Shaozong, turned around and staggered out of the flower hall.
The prince, however, still didn't know he was wrong, he stood up and pointed at her, ready to scold her: "You bitch..."
“Your Highness!”
Sun Shaozong hurried forward to stop him, pretending to be confused and asking, "I just heard that your brother-in-law came to announce the good news, but was turned away by the Prime Minister of the Wang Mansion. I don't know why? "
"Good news?!"
When the prince heard this, he immediately forgot about scolding the princess, and sat back in his seat angrily, slamming the table and angrily saying, "Do you know what kind of good news he is reporting?!"
Sun Shaozong still ignored his rage and smiled calmly: "I came to congratulate Your Highness on your growing prestige. Even the princes and nobles are willing to serve you like a dog."
"you……"
The prince initially thought that Sun Shaozong did not know that Prince Xinyang had married Sun's concubine's daughter, but now hearing his words, it was clear that he had known about it for a long time.
Therefore, the condemnation that had been prepared was difficult to express.
He looked up and stared at Sun Shaozong for a long while, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, saying depressedly: "I also know that I shouldn't sacrifice public interests for personal gain - in the current situation, the best strategy is to accept Wu Chengxun!"
"But the Sun family knew that I had always had a grudge against him, yet they still insisted on marrying me! And that lowly maid just now..."
At this point, the Crown Prince finally realized something was wrong. After all, the Crown Princess was his principal wife and would be the mother of the country in the future. How could she be referred to as a lowly maid in front of her subjects?
So he quickly changed his words and said, "Just now, Sun kept telling me to be tolerant. It's obvious that she is sure that I can't do anything to them for the time being, so she is fearless!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger.
To be honest, the Crown Princess's family did act inappropriately.
Although it was mainly the Second House that insisted on its own way, the Crown Princess's father could have cut off all contact with the Second House on the day of the wedding, or even gone to the Crown Prince's Mansion in person to explain.
But in order not to hurt the brotherly relationship, he sent Sun Zhaolin to escort the bride.
To the prince, this was almost like betrayal.
No wonder the Crown Princess knelt down and apologized just now.
Although Sun Shaozong secretly criticized Sun Tao's style of doing things, he smiled at the angry prince and shook his head, saying, "Accepting the Prince of Xinyang is a matter of course, but it is unnecessary to tolerate each other."
The prince was stunned and hurriedly asked Sun Shaozong what he meant.
Then Sun Shaozong said, "Although the Prince of Xinyang is a man who is indecisive, the situation in the court is becoming clearer now. He also spent a lot of time and effort to marry the daughter of the Sun family as his concubine. He dare not betray Your Highness easily."
"So in my opinion, Your Highness can summon Prince Xinyang to come and avenge him. Just don't humiliate him too much and give him a few words to see what happens next. Would he dare to turn against you again just for a few scoldings?"
"It's possible that once we leave the Crown Prince's Mansion, he will bite the bullet and praise you for your magnanimity and for letting bygones be bygones!"
After hearing these words, the prince felt that all the burden in his heart was gone. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room with joy, muttering to himself: "Repay evil with good, how to repay good? Repay evil with justice, repay good with good!"
Then he laughed a few times, turned to Sun Shaozong and praised: "My dear, your words are very much in line with my opinion! They fully demonstrate my majesty, and do not hurt my magnanimity. They are much better than that cheap...than that stupid woman's words of blindly tolerating!"
As he said this, he was about to call someone to summon the Prince of Xinyang to come to his house to see him.
Sun Shaozong hurriedly stopped him and recommended Sun Zhaolin to come forward, so as to appear magnanimous and serious to the outside world.
The prince was in a very good mood, so he readily accepted the advice and ordered people to summon Sun Zhaolin to give him a lecture.
…
However, the Crown Princess endured the humiliation and left in shame, locking herself in the room. Thinking back on the rift between husband and wife over the past two years, she couldn't help feeling sad for a moment.
Once upon a time, she thought that as long as the love between husband and wife was there, even without the human ethics, they could still support each other.
Once upon a time, she wishfully believed that it was the eunuchs who instigated the destruction of the relationship between husband and wife.
But now it seems...
In fact, the relationship between this couple had ended two years ago!
Even if you are tolerant in everything, you won't get even a little bit of understanding; no matter how affectionate and sweet you are, all you get is indifference and vigilance.
Stop it.
Since he is so cold and indifferent, and doesn't care about the relationship between husband and wife at all, I will just hope that we can live in peace from now on!
"My queen, my queen!"
Just as I was thinking of the words "peaceful and harmonious", I suddenly heard the palace maid outside report: "My uncle has been invited to the flower hall by His Highness!"
"What?!"
The Crown Princess hurriedly stood up, opened the locked door, and asked, "Has Your Highness ever made things difficult for him?!"
Having said that, he was about to return to the flower hall to cover up for his brother.
“I have never heard of this.”
The palace maid shook her head. Seeing the Crown Princess' anxious look, she quickly consoled her, "Sun Shaoqing is still in the flower hall. Now that our two families are related, I think he will take care of us."
Considering the importance of Sun Shaozong in the prince's heart, the princess stopped in her tracks because she was afraid that it would be ten times safer for him to go than for her to go herself.
But she was still worried, so she sent palace maids to the nearby area to inquire about the news, and if there was any sudden change, they would come back immediately to report.
In this way, the Crown Princess sat in the room feeling uneasy and tormented for more than a quarter of an hour. She was getting impatient and was thinking of sending more people to investigate.
Suddenly, someone outside the door called out, " Sister , sister!"
Who else could that gentle voice be but my younger brother?
The Crown Princess hurried out to greet him, and first pulled Sun Zhaolin up and down to look him up and down several times. Seeing that he did not seem to have suffered any injustice, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to ask what the prince had said when he called him over, Sun Zhaolin laughed and said, "This time, it was all thanks to my sister's good words in front of His Highness! I thought I would be scolded, but His Highness didn't ask a single question, but instead ordered me to take the lead and invite Prince Xinyang to his house as a guest!"
The Crown Princess was stunned at first, then she suddenly realized, and thought that it must be Sun Shaozong who turned the situation around.
She wanted to tell the truth while feeling grateful, but she was unwilling to reveal her discord with her husband in front of her family.
Therefore, he had to vaguely accept the credit and invited Sun Zhaolin to come in and talk.
How did Sun Zhaolin know the key to this?
After thanking his sister, he was determined to complete the prince's request. He only said a few perfunctory words outside the door and left impatiently.
The Crown Princess accompanied him all the way out of the courtyard, and watched the figure gradually disappear into the distance before returning to the room with a sense of loss.
Somehow, her watery eyes were fixed on the closet where her underwear was kept, and her originally slightly pale face gradually became covered with a layer of blush.
I saw her chest rising and falling rapidly, flattening the wrinkles and gaps between her skirts; I saw her feet trembling under her skirts, from her wrists to her knees, from her knees to her hips, tightly entangled, making it difficult for a needle to penetrate; I saw her love was difficult...
The Crown Princess suddenly withdrew her gaze, hurried to the dressing table, took out a string of red agate Buddhist beads, and twisted them one by one with a look of shame on her face, saying "Amitabha" all the time.
