The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1521: Chapter 1516: The Arrogant Princess

The Palace Maid in Charge stood up and scolded them sharply, “What is this behavior! When the Imperial Consort sent you out, how were you instructed? The princess is still ill; what should you be doing?”

A dozen or so palace maids and eunuchs immediately perked up, saying that Auntie’s lesson was right, and quickly scattered to attend to their duties.

This Great Wei Imperial Palace was not an easy place for newcomers; there were so many things to learn: the news to be inquired about, the people to befriend, the tasks to be carried out!

After they all dispersed, the Palace Maid in Charge approached Rong Yun’s bed and whispered, “Princess, have you awakened?”

“I, this princess, have not awoken! Not awoken! I shall never wake up in this lifetime!”

Rong Yun’s capricious cries came from inside, followed by a pillow being thrown out.

The experienced Palace Maid in Charge dodged the pillow and sternly warned Rong Yun, “If the princess continues to be so capricious, causing Great Wei to call off this marriage, and you’re sent back to Beiling City, you will never be able to marry in your life. The Imperial Consort and the Crown Prince will also be implicated. Hereafter, you will never be able to eat your favorite rose pastry or drink your beloved agate dew, nor will you be able to step outside your room ever again, confined to the Princess’s Manor for the rest of your life.”

“What! I, this princess… I do not want to be trapped for a lifetime!”

Rong Yun immediately sat up on the bed, reluctantly drank the medicine the court physician brought over, and after drinking it, she reached out to the Palace Maid in Charge in front of her, “Amah Yan, my rose pastry!”

Amah Yan immediately had a serving brought over, still fresh and warm, which she had started making after her arrival.

Imperial Consort Yu had assigned her to accompany Rong Yun because she knew most about Rong Yun’s inability to live without the rose pastry and agate dew; only she could make them exactly to Rong Yun’s taste.

Amah Yan was also the one who could best understand the depth of Imperial Consort Yu’s motherly love.

She hadn’t appeared in Rong Yun’s wedding entourage because she had been so weakened by crying that she couldn’t even get out of bed.

As a mother, she had thought through everything for Rong Yun.

Rong Yun was young, and although she had secured the marriage to the Scarlet Flame King’s consort, staying firm in that position would be no easy task.

Watching Rong Yun, who forgot to cry as soon as she began to eat, Amah Yan felt a wave of heaviness in her heart.

Rong Yun was staying in Qionghua Palace, but felt restless—she hated the Great Wei Imperial Palace to the extreme. Every person was of a height and face shape she disliked; none were pleasing to her eye!

That’s why, before entering the palace, she had put on a thick veil for herself, not letting anyone see!

Nobody was going to catch a glimpse of her face, as precious as a treasure!

“Humph!”

Rong Yun stood in front of the window, stomping her feet in anger. Since she couldn’t fall asleep anyhow, she took out a small pot of branches that were on her bed.

Beiling City was just too cold; after the Crown Prince, her brother, had given her this pot of flowers, three little buds withered one after another. Fortunately, there were craftsmen in her wedding entourage. With the craftsmen’s help, the plant remained alive.

Now that she had brought it to Great Wei, where the weather was warmer, the withered branches had slowly begun sprouting new growth. With careful nurturing, perhaps she might see peach blossoms this year.

This was a gift from the Crown Prince, her brother; she must take good care of it.

As for this Great Wei…

Rong Yun still disliked it, no matter what, she found it revolting, so whenever anything was sent to her in the Great Wei Imperial Palace, she ignored it all, neither expressing gratitude nor meeting anyone.

What the Empress Dowager sent her, a Jade Guanyin, she deemed beneath her notice.

In the end, it was the stern elderly maid who forcibly dragged her out, and only then did she, with great reluctance, return a courtesy to the Empress Dowager’s maid, saying coldly, “Thank you for the Empress Dowager’s generous gift!”

The elderly maid by the Empress Dowager’s side glanced at her, shook her head harshly as she exited the door, and went back to report to the Empress Dowager.

As she was reporting, Qin Rulie happened to be coming over for dinner with Qin Muyan, and Qin Ge was also present.

Hearing the elderly maid’s description, Qin Ge felt a burst of anger inside, “This Princess Beiling is really too spoiled. She even dismisses the gifts from mother with such contempt. How on earth did Beiling Imperial Palace teach her manners? Is this even remotely becoming of a princess?”

Qin Rulie also sighed softly, feeling somewhat guilty as he looked towards Qin Muyan.

But Qin Muyan was more open-minded, “Your Highness thinks it’s alright. A young girl being a bit spoiled is just that, weren’t our little sisters the same when they were young?”

The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile, “Indeed, when the princesses of Great Wei were little, they were also pampered and cherished in the palm of hands, and a bit delicate. Why then do we disdain other people’s princesses?”

“Mother!”

Qin Ge spoke out in dissatisfaction, “The princesses of Great Wei might have been delicate, but only when they were four or five years old. Which princess, upon nearly reaching adulthood, is still so wilful, wreaking havoc in the palace, and receiving your gifts so reluctantly? When the princesses of Great Wei receive your gifts, which one of them does not come to thank you in person immediately? She, on the other hand, acts as if bending her knees is a grievance?”

The honor and dignity of the Empress Dowager are admired and revered by all princes and princesses of Great Wei. To receive a gift from her is a source of joy for them, and they would undoubtedly rush to express their thanks.

However, this was the first time the Empress Dowager had heard of such a reaction from Rong Yun.

Perhaps after living for so many years, seeing sons, daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters all being well-behaved and sensible, she was used to it. Now, facing someone different, even slightly defiant, she found it fresh and amusing, “The less she comes to thank me, the more interested I am in her. If it weren’t for my poor health, I would want to go and see what this delicate princess looks like.”

“I’m afraid the imperial grandmother won’t see her,” Qin Muyan, sitting by the elderly lady’s side, gently massaged her hands, “She wears a veil, even when I carried her into the chamber today, I didn’t get a clear look at her face.”

He only vaguely remembered that the eyes of this young girl, visible from behind her veil, were somewhat clever and charming.

What made an even deeper impression was that she was too light.

Perhaps even lighter than his sword.

“Did you take liberties with her?” the Empress Dowager tapped Qin Muyan’s hand, her tone slightly reproachful.

“Your Highness certainly did not,” Qin Muyan knew there was a distinction between men and women, but since she was someone he was going to marry and take back to the prince’s mansion, carrying her back to the chamber should be no harm, right?

Besides, she had fainted in front of him at that time, and he was worried about her health, so he didn’t think too much about it.

“What kind of liberties are you talking about? How many young women wish Mu Yan would carry them, yet they can’t even hope for it!” Qin Ge frowned; she was utterly dissatisfied with this Princess Beiling in her heart, wishing she could send her back immediately, although it was not her place to speak.

“Ge’er, have you lost your senses? Is this something you, an Eldest Princess, should say?” The Empress Dowager’s tone became sterner.

Qin Ge instantly realized she had overstepped, and quickly knelt down to admit her mistake, “Your Majesty, your child has been impolite.”

“Look, you’re the Eldest Princess, and even you have moments of impropriety. How can we expect someone else’s princess to be perfect? In my view, before Mu Yan performs the formal matrimonial rites, he has already been too forward with the young princess. He should go and apologize. Tomorrow, you should prepare some things that young girls like and go see her.”

The Empress Dowager, holding Qin Muyan’s hand, winked at him playfully.
