Chapter 61 The First Clash Between Princess Hengyang and the Prince
Instead of getting what they wanted, they were pecked by it!
Isn't it a disaster? It's like trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.
This……
It's a real loss that Princess Xincheng went to Xiao Si's courtyard!
Back in her palace, Princess Xincheng was so angry that she overturned the tea table again!
Deep inside, she felt as if she were being tormented by a mad dog of resentment and anger, which kept barking and disturbing her peace.
Despite her domineering nature, she always tried her best to maintain the image of the gentlest daughter and the most adorable younger sister in front of her father and brother Zhinu.
Princess Xincheng felt a pang of sadness whenever she thought of her older sister, Jinyang, who was a year older than her. She always felt that Jinyang was like a little baby, spoiled rotten by her father and brother Zhinu, and then she died before she even grew up.
Looking at herself, she had visited her father and brother Zhinu with great care and concern, but they still didn't have as deep an impression of her as they did of Xiao Si.
At that moment, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes that she was afraid she was about to lose control.
Every time the night is still and quiet, the image of Xiao Si appears in her dreams. What should be a cute sight for everyone has become a haunting nightmare for her!
However, after yesterday's performance, Si Zi was as smug as a little brown bear who had drunk honey, thinking to herself, "I have to praise my Ji Ge'er! She's so clever, she can actually turn the fact that Xin Cheng was trying to mess with me into a blessing for herself! Hehehehe."
Her little face was full of smugness, like Bugs Bunny covering his mouth to chuckle. Her heart was filled with joy: "Now I've really risen to the top! I'm going to teach this pretentious little sister a lesson!"
In fact, Sizi was just pretending not to notice that there was a hidden flame of suppressed anger in Shinjo's eyes, as if a small volcano was about to erupt at any moment, indicating that Princess Shinjo would not give up so easily.
"Don't get too cocky, little girl. I'll make you understand what a 'counterattack' really means!"
Princess Xincheng secretly plotted, various scenes of disciplining the child flashing through her mind: imagining herself using a silver spoon to shape the little ox's dessert into a "molten egg," then letting the little ox take a bite, only to have it all ooze out as mush! Hahaha!
"Hmph, just wait and see, my counterattack will absolutely amaze you!"
The next day, instead of seeing Xincheng seeking revenge, Li Zhi saw a weeping princess holding an imperial edict, saying, "Brother Zhinu, you can't do this!"
Xincheng imitated Sizi's former way of addressing him—"Brother Zhinu"—trying to remain calm, but his tone carried a strong protest, like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on.
"Brother, I've waited so long, do I have to wait another three years?!"
Li Zhi frowned, seemingly startled by the sudden protest from his usually docile sister from Hengshan.
At this moment, Li Zhi felt like a goldfish trapped inside a lantern, scorched by the candlelight, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, as if he had just completed a long and arduous marathon:
"Now that this matter has been decided, none of you should mention it to me again."
Princess Xincheng was extremely aggrieved. Seeing her brother's displeasure, she quickly and "wisely" withdrew. She thought to herself:
"Hmph, this little brat only has the looks of Jinyang, yet she dares to try and steal my territory. She's so innocent that I just want to pinch her!"
Princess Xincheng felt a pang of sadness as she recalled that the person her father most wanted to see before his death was Princess Jinyang.
The little doll that Li Shiji somehow got his hands on looked just like Jin Yang when he was a child: "I don't want to compete with her!"
So when she first met this "fake little Si" at her father's sickbed, she said insincerely, "You don't look as blessed as your sister, but this little girl is quite cute." This was to remind those around her that she was not Princess Xiao Si of Jinyang.
"Don't call me little! I'm your older sister!" the little girl replied innocently. "I just went through all sorts of hardships to find my dear father and brother Zhinu!"
Princess Xincheng blushed with rage, looking like a hedgehog with its quills standing on end. She thought to herself, "You're just a lowly bastard! What do you dare compete with me for?!"
Li Ji couldn't help but smile. He calmly said, "Princess Xincheng, please don't be angry. What the child said was like an innocent nursery rhyme, without any malice. This little girl did not mean to offend you. Besides, haven't you always missed your sister? Now, this younger sister who resembles your sister has come to your side, hasn't she?"
"Sisters? They're like a persistent ghost!! I don't want a sister who steals my love!" Princess Xincheng roared inwardly, but said gently, "How could I blame the little girl? Father is happy to see her, Brother Zhinu is happy to see her, Father and Zhinu are both happy, so how could I be unhappy? Am I such a petty person?!"
The little girl looked innocent, shook her head, and asked naively, "Hengshan, can we play together? I'll share the stories from my wooden phone with you!"
"What 'wooden skinny chicken'? What a ridiculous story! But don't go too far, Hengshan?! Is that what you call him?!" Princess Xincheng was furious, but remained calm. "How dare you address me by my title! Although I'm not Father's favorite daughter, I am still the youngest princess of the Tang Dynasty! I could have used my youth to my advantage, but how did this 'fake princess' steal my love out of nowhere?!"
Despite his anger, Xin Cheng smiled and said, "Little sister, you can't address me by my title directly, but my late father is magnanimous and won't hold it against you."
Xiao Si really wants to bring Xin Cheng into her camp! But she still needs to test her first. If she's not kind-hearted, then forget it, let her go somewhere cool off~
The two little princesses' "sisterly" rivalry for favor has only just begun, and their hilarious daily lives are destined to trigger even more dramatic and unexpected events...
Sizi and Qiurong sat on stone benches in the courtyard under the shade of trees, a gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers and rustling the leaves.
The two began to talk about this not-so-long-forgotten story.
“Sizi, if you are truly the reincarnation of Princess Jinyang, then Princess Xincheng was born in 634, and you were born in 633. So she must be your closest and dearest sister. You should have played together and been very close, especially since you were born to the same empress.” Qiu Rongmu said thoughtfully.
Sizi sighed softly, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes: "We only played together occasionally, but for some reason, Father and Zhinu didn't seem to like her very much. So, it was always Father, Zhinu, and I who lived together."
“I left Aye and Zhinu in 644,” Sizi’s voice deepened.
Qiu Rongmu frowned slightly, as if trying to understand these complex relationships.
"But Princess Xincheng only lived eighteen years longer than me..."
"Are you really from the future? Our family's autumn persimmon!"
"Unfortunately, she also...sigh, so many things happened when she was 29." Sizi's voice carried a heavy tone. "She was the only princess in the Tang Dynasty to be buried with the rites due to an empress."
Qiu Rongmu was silent for a moment, then gently took Si Zi's hand: "No matter what happens, you are sisters, that is an unchangeable fact."
Sizi nodded, her eyes shining: "She's 16 now. I hope she cherishes the remaining 13 years, and I hope her soul can rest in peace in heaven."
