Chapter 877: Being in the midst of blessings and not knowing the blessings
She choked for a moment, her voice full of grievances.
“Obviously I am the princess and I should be held in the palm of everyone’s hand.
“But I was cared for by a wet nurse when I was born. I never saw my mother for a day, and my father could only see me during the New Year.
“When I grew up, my mother looked forward to me getting sick, so that she would have an excuse to invite my father over, and I became a stepping stone for her to have a son.
“My father hates my mother and my queen, and he also hates me. He has no idea how much I want to get close to him.
“Now that my mother is locked up, she kneels down like a madman and begs me to intercede for her and my grandfather’s family.
“But my father didn’t see me, and I was caught in the middle. I even wanted to die. Not to mention eating chestnuts, I couldn’t even drink bird’s nest porridge..."
Jiayin fiddled with the purse on his waist and listened patiently from beginning to end. He originally wanted to deal with it and find an excuse to leave later, which would be enough to complete the task.
But the third princess’s last words made her break her guard!
“I really didn’t know that the princess would actually envy me. This is really a strange thing!
“The princess has also read books, so she should know some truth, so let’s talk about it today.
“The princess said she was pitiful, and then envied me for being pampered by the whole family?”
Jiayin sneered and said mockingly: "When the princess was born, she had a wet nurse and a lot of people to take care of her. She wished her diapers were all silk and satin.
“And I was born on the road to escape from the wilderness, thousands of miles away in the wilderness, with countless refugees looking at me in front of me, and barbarians chasing me with swords behind me.
“If my family hadn’t been lucky enough to pick up a sheep, I wouldn’t have survived for three days, and my little body would have been thrown into the ravine. Should I be envious of the princess?
“The princess is sitting on a long-haired stall, accompanied by a group of palace maids, playing with gems as ordinary pebbles, while I am walking with my family in the thousands of miles of mountains.
“A poisonous snake bit my grandma, a jackal chewed off half of my brother’s hand, and bandits tried to destroy our entire village.
“I have just learned to crawl, and I have already learned to shut up, not to cry, not to make noises, not to complain about hunger, and not to cause trouble to the family. Should I envy the princess?
“After finally getting out of the mountains, we immediately arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, where we were hunted down by barbarians again.
“My grandma was injured half to death but still remembered to protect me. My father, my uncles, and my brothers rushed towards the barbarian cavalry with wooden sticks, eager to hold on to the horse’s hooves, just to give me a chance to survive.
“Princess, do you know what it feels like to watch your loved ones die with your own eyes? You don’t know!”
Jiayin sneered and glanced at the third princess who was a little dumbfounded, becoming even more contemptuous.
“When the whole village set foot on the land of Jiangnan, every one of us was injured and bleeding. Even now, there are dozens of people in the village who are missing arms and legs!
“I finally found a place to stay, but it was all gravel and sand, plus two barren mountains, so I couldn’t grow food at all.
“Do you know how desperate all of us are? You don’t know!
“The Broken Gold Beach was created by me sitting in the thatched shed every day and watching everyone dig it out with pickaxes. It was watered by the sweat of all of us.
“We spent almost everything so that we could have a chance to fill our stomachs and survive!
“What was the princess doing at that time?
“While you are eating snacks and fruits, wearing warm clothes, are you angry that your father, the Queen, and your mother can’t play with you? Are you throwing cups and bowls because your new dress doesn’t suit your taste?”
“I didn’t!” The third princess couldn’t help but subconsciously retorted, “I’m very...”
She wanted to say that she was also suffering.
But in the final analysis, she really never knew what it was like to be hungry or what it felt like to run for one's life...
Jiayin rolled her eyes and continued: "My grandma said that in this life, people will have their share of hardships and blessings.
"I was born poor and lived a difficult life, but I have the love of my parents and relatives and share the joys and sorrows." "As a princess, you have enjoyed the wealth of clothes and food that ordinary people do not have, and the supreme nobility. Naturally, you have to suffer from the weak family ties of the Tian family."
“No one has everything going his way, and there will be no sorrow at all in his life! You can’t eat with a bowl, and you still have to think that the bowl is ugly.
“The emperor and the queen may not care enough about you, but they still give you good food and clothing!
“You want the harmony and happiness of ordinary people, and you also want the wealth and wealth of the heavenly family. Are you too greedy?
“If you have a chance, go to the Relief Department and see how many children there have lost their parents and relatives. They carry brooms and sweep snow on the streets in such a cold day. They are so cold that their fingers are covered with abscesses, just to get two pieces of cake to fill their stomachs.
“What they worry about is how to survive and how to keep warm, but not about not being able to drink the bird’s nest porridge?!”
The third princess pinched the corners of the quilt and her face turned a little red. She didn't know whether she was unconvinced or ashamed.
Jiayin didn't bother to waste any more words and stood up, "Uncle Huang just said that we have known each other since childhood, so I will just say a few more words for the sake of our friendship.
“Everyone in this world must learn to be independent, not to depend on anyone else for survival, but also to understand their own responsibilities.
“As a little girl from a peasant family, I have to be busy honoring my elders, running a shop to help the family, and I have to keep learning skills.
"You are a princess and you enjoy the protection of the emperor. Shouldn't you give priority to honoring the emperor? Even if you bake a snack or make a needlework, it is your heart.
“The Empress and the Wu family have their own faults for their current fate. If you persecute Uncle Huang for their sake, Uncle Huang will be so sad!
“If you have the ability to feel sorry for yourself, I advise you to learn more skills.
“When one day I need you to take care of Tianwu and Uncle Huang, you won’t remain like this stupid fool!
“Not only can’t you help Uncle Huang, but you also have to make him worry about you all the time!”
After saying that, she ignored the third princess, gave a hasty salute and left the palace.
The third princess stared angrily and wanted to stop him, but she didn't know how to refute.
The eldest palace maid came in and saw her master like this, so she quickly asked: "Princess, please bring him back. This Princess Kangle is too presumptuous!"
“The princess complained to the emperor and had her title removed!”
"You are so presumptuous!" The third princess changed her expression and scolded the eldest palace maid, "Get out of here. What do I want to do? It's not your slave's turn to talk!"
The eldest palace maid was startled, immediately shrank her neck, and quickly retreated.
The third princess hammered the quilt several times.
She was also angry with Jiayin for speaking rudely, but she was not stupid. Jiayin’s words did make sense!
And no one has ever said this to her before.
The nuns and maids around her will coax her and follow her wishes, but they also make her get into trouble deeper and deeper.
Today, she was woken up by a sarcastic beating...
In the imperial study room, the emperor and the Marquis talked for a long time, and suddenly became concerned, so he asked Manager Yi, "Are the princess and the princess still playing together? Did the two of them quarrel?"
Mr. Hou remained calm, but he also looked at Mr. Yi.
He is not afraid that Jiayin will quarrel with the princess, but he is worried that Jiayin is too sensible and will wrong himself...
Manager Yi quickly responded: "I will call the people from Zhilan Palace to ask questions."
Soon, a young **** was brought in...
