She was already a dispensable person in her father's heart, and leaving the An family and returning to the palace would not necessarily be any better.
Thinking of this, Yun Zijiao's hatred for Yun Zishu suddenly deepened.
If it hadn't been for her, An Huaishan would still be fine now. An Rong would still be the official minister and would not have died so early. The An family's reputation would still be there. Even if she suffered some injustices, at least she would have enough food and clothing, and she would still have enough money to go in and out of the mansion.
The daughter-in-law of a high-ranking official's family, her husband is also a normal man.
And all of this was destroyed in Yun Zishu's hands.
Yun Zijiao pinched the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and thought about the current situation in Anjia. How could she still have the opportunity to sit down and drink tea, eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and enjoy the moonlight chat with others in a leisurely manner?
If it hadn't been for Princess Jinning's invitation today, she wouldn't have even had the chance to walk out of the An family gate.
Ever since An Huaishan was poisoned, her life has been a mess. As his symptoms gradually worsened, she could only eat in a hurry. She had to chase after him to take care of him when she was in a hurry. If he was not careful, her mother-in-law would even scold him.
He scolded her and called her a broom star. Huaishan would be in trouble for eight lifetimes by marrying her.
Those vicious curse-like reprimands echoed in her ears every day, and there was no quiet day. Yun Zijiao didn't know when such days would end. Every night when An Huaishan was tortured, she thought in her heart, when would she be able to be tortured like this?
Yun Zishu would be fine.
She must let Yun Zishu experience this kind of torture, make her collapse, make her beg for mercy, and make her suffer terribly.
"Mingzhu." Princess Jinning turned her head and looked at a little girl, "Is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake delicious?"
Yun Zishu turned her head and glanced casually.
In addition to the three princesses and Princess Baozhu and Princess Huazhu, there are two other royal princesses in the flower hall. They are both younger and were called over by Princess Jinning to fill in the numbers.
At this moment, the two little girls were drinking tea and eating snacks, unaware of the subtle atmosphere in the flower hall.
Yun Zishu's eyes fell on their faces, and she suddenly felt that they were quite cute. The two little princesses were both fourteen or fifteen years old, one or two years younger than her, but they still retained their innocence and kindness in their mentality.
Calculator.
Because there is no conflict of interest, there will be no plotting against anyone.
fine.
Yun Zishu looked away.
"It's delicious." The little girl called Mingzhu smiled naively, "My mother doesn't let me eat sweets. I can't even eat these at home. Thank you Aunt Jinning."
"Eat more if you like it." Princess Jinning smiled lightly, "Just don't tell your mother when you go back, lest she scold you."
"Um!"
As the sky gradually darkened, the eldest princess's maids came over with lanterns and hung up the exquisite lanterns one by one. The light in the flower hall suddenly became soft.
"The moon has come out." Princess Jinning looked up at the place where the moon rose. "It is indeed as round as a silver plate."
Others naturally echoed.
"Let's go for a walk in the garden." Yun Zirou suggested, "Standing in the garden and admiring the flowers and the moon will make the atmosphere better."
Princess Baozhu and Princess Huazhu immediately stood up and followed.
Yun Zirou turned to look at the other two little princesses who had remained silent: "Aren't you two going?"
The two little princesses were stunned.
"Go." Princess Jinning said, "Young people like to have fun, so there is no need to follow the rules tonight."
Although the two little princesses were naive, they were not stupid. They heard what Princess Jinning meant and quickly stood up and saluted to Princess Jinning. Then they turned to salute Yun Zishu and followed Yun Zirou.
And go.
A group of five people walked lively into the depths of the Osmanthus fragrans. Princess Jinning watched them leave and smiled faintly: "It's great to be young, and being as young as a flower is really enviable."
yes.
It's great to be young.
Yun Zijiao looked at her pale hands, which still had a few new and old wounds, and secretly thought that she was really old, even older than Princess Jinning.
Why is God so unfair?
Yun Zishu rebelled against the orthodoxy and did all the things a woman shouldn't do, yet she was able to live such a good life. However, she kept to herself, served her parents-in-law, raised her husband and raised her children, but her fate was so harsh to her.
Why?
"Zishu." Princess Jinning looked at Yun Zishu, "You and Zijiao are biological sisters. I see Zijiao's situation and I feel really uncomfortable. Is there anything you can do to help her?"
Yun Zishu said calmly: "I just told you the method."
"But that only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."
Yun Zishu said calmly: "Then what does Auntie think we should do?"
Princess Jinning raised her eyes slightly and looked at Nanny Cao, Leng Yue, and Leng Shuang, "You guys step back first."
Grandma Cao seemed not to hear it and stood still.
Leng Yue and Leng Shuang also turned a deaf ear.
"Zishu."
Yun Zishu smiled lightly: "Leng Yue, take Grandma Cao to the garden."
"yes."
The rest of the crowd finally left, and Princess Jinning got straight to the point: "Didn't you always want to recruit a few husbands and attendants before? I have the most suitable candidate here. He is extremely handsome and has a docile temperament. I wonder if you
Is it intentional?"
Yun Zishu's heart moved slightly, and she guessed almost at that moment who Princess Jinning was talking about.
Is this a plan to use a handsome man to plot against her, or is he planning to use a handsome man to plot against her?
"Who is aunt talking about?"
Princess Jinning raised her hand and patted it, and a man walked out from the shadows. He was dressed in white and was as elegant as jade. He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with black hair like a waterfall, and a beautiful face. He looked like a standard Pianpian.
Beautiful son.
He walked into the flower hall, knelt down, and respectfully saluted the eldest princess Jinning: "I wish you all to live in peace, please see your highness the eldest princess, and see your highness the legitimate princess."
An Li, the concubine of the former Minister of An, had a beautiful appearance but always stayed behind closed doors. Because he was not liked by his aunt and brother, he had no sense of presence at home.
But this is normal.
The distinction between legitimate concubine and concubine is a rule that the nobles of aristocratic families can never erase, and the same applies to the royal family. As Yun Zishu, as a legitimate princess, even if the queen passes away, her identity as a legitimate descendant cannot be erased.
Even if they are not favored by their father, the noble daughters of the aristocratic family do not take her as the legitimate princess in their eyes, and they continue to fawn over Concubine Wu and the eighth princess Yun Zirou, but they still cannot change their mother and daughter's desire to pursue the status of the legitimate princess.
Persistence.
Only a direct daughter is legitimate and noble. No matter how noble a concubine is, she is just a concubine and cannot reach the level of a legitimate wife. Moreover, she is currently protected by the Queen Mother. Yun Zirou despises her qualifications as a direct princess just because her mother is favored.
All gone.
"Something happened to the An family. An Shangshu, An Huaishan and his son were killed and the other injured. Now only Anli can support the entire An family." Princess Jinning said in a pitiful tone, "Zishu, you liked handsome men before, why not
