Cen said with a sneer: “Back then, for the position of heir, the Qin family threw away all dignity, sending daughters to the palace and dividing the family, making a complete mess. What was the result? The Jingning Marquis’s sister still married into the Qi Wang’s family in a grand manner. The Qin family can only rely on Fu Liang Di and has to avoid me, like a thief. If her son had half the backbone of the Jingning Marquis, Fu Liang Di wouldn’t have to endure humiliation and bow down under my command.”
The maidservant didn’t know that the words “Jingning Marquis” had touched a distant, hazy regret in her heart. She only felt that the Crown Prince’s wife was particularly sharp tonight and stammered in response: “Then… Your Highness, should we keep her away from the Prince these days?”
Cen gazed at the bronze mirror, pondering for a moment, and then waved her hand: “No need. A useless person can’t be helped, no matter how much the Prince tries to elevate them.”
That night, in the Chun Fang Pavilion of the Eastern Palace, Crown Prince Sun Yanliang was staying here.
Liang Di Fu Ting served him in removing his outer garments and helped him wash, though attentive as always, there was a hint of melancholy between her brows.
A beautiful woman filled with sorrow, her willow-like eyebrows slightly furrowed, presenting a unique charm. The Crown Prince saw this and was delighted, unable to resist embracing and caressing her.
After their intimate moment, he lazily asked: “What’s wrong? What troubles you so much?”
Fu Ting quickly got up and knelt by the bed to beg for forgiveness: “Today, my mother sent someone with a matter that startled me, causing me to be somewhat distracted. I beg Your Highness’s forgiveness.”
The Crown Prince reached out and pulled her back: “I pardon you. What is it? Tell me.”
Fu Ting’s brow relaxed, looking like she had seen a savior, her eyes full of reverence and trust, which made the Crown Prince feel even more pleased.
She leaned close to the Crown Prince’s ear, her breath like an orchid: “I won’t hide it from Your Highness, this matter concerns my brother, Jingning Marquis Fu Shen…”
