Chapter 878: Unaware of Blessings in Fortune

e doctor Zhang glared, “Boy, don’t be ungrateful! I only treated you out of face for your family. Otherwise, with your unfilial behavior, I wouldn't even bother with you!” 。Having said that, he force...She choked back a sob, her voice thick with distress.

"I should be the one everyone worships, after all, I am the princess. "

"But I was raised by a wet nurse, never seeing my mother even once a day. As for my father, the only time I get to see him is during festivals."

When I grew up, Mother hoped that I would get sick so she could have an excuse to call Father. I became a stepping stone for her to have a son by sleeping with him.

"The Emperor detests my mother, and in turn, he detests me as well. He has no idea how much I long to be close to him."

Now my mother is confined, kneeling like a madman begging me to plead for her and for the entire family of my maternal grandfather.

“But Father wouldn’t see me, I was caught in the middle. I felt like giving up. I couldn’t even eat chestnuts, let alone swallow bird’s nest soup…”

Jia Yin played with the pouch at her waist, patiently listening from beginning to end. She originally planned to just get through it, find an excuse to leave after a while and consider the task done.

But the third princess's last words still broke her defenses!

"I truly don't know, I never expected a princess to envy me. What a strange thing!"

"A princess has also read books, she should understand some principles, shouldn't she Let's have a good talk today then.

"

"The princess said she felt sorry for herself and then envied me being spoiled by my whole family"

Jia Yin sneered and mocked, "That princess was born with a whole bunch of nannies waiting on her, even wanting her diapers to be made of silk."

"I was born on the road of fleeing, amidst a thousand miles of desolate wilderness. In front of me, countless refugee families eyed each other with suspicion, and behind me, barbarians chased us with their swords."

"If it weren't for my family's good fortune, finding a sheep, I wouldn't have lived past three days. My small body would have been tossed into a ravine. Should I envy the princess"

While a princess sat on a plush rug, surrounded by maids who treated jewels like pebbles, I was trekking through the mountains with my family.

A venomous snake bit my grandmother, wolves gnawed off half of my brother's hand, and bandits want to destroy our entire village.

"As soon as I could crawl, I learned to keep quiet, not crying or fussing or demanding food. I don't give the family any trouble. Shouldn't I be envious of the County Princess"

"Having finally escaped the mountains, I immediately reached the Jiangnan region only to be pursued by barbarians again. "

My grandmother, though grievously wounded, still remembered shielding me. My father, my uncles, and my brothers, wielding wooden clubs, charged at the barbarian cavalry, wishing to seize their horses' hooves just to buy me a chance to live.

"Does the princess know what it feels like to watch her loved ones die with her own eyes You wouldn't know!"

Jia Yin sneered, glancing at the somewhat dumbfounded Third Princess, her disdain growing.

When all of us in the village first set foot on this land in Jiangnan, not one person was without injury or bloodshed. Even now, there are still dozens of people in the village missing limbs!

"Finally, they found a place to settle, but it was covered in gravel and sand, with two barren mountains. It was impossible to grow any crops."

"Do you know how desperate we all are inside You don't know!

"

"Sùjīn Tān is what we’ve all worked for, day after day. I’ve seen it with my own eyes, everyone sweating and toiling, tilling the land one hoe stroke at a time. It’s every drop of our sweat that has nurtured this fertile ground."

"We've almost given everything we have, just to have a chance at feeding ourselves and surviving!"

What was the princess doing at that time

"While snacking on pastries and fruit, dressed warmly, are you angry that your father and mother can't play with you Tossing cups and bowls because a new dress isn't to your liking"

"I didn't!" the third princess blurted out instinctively, "I also..."

She wanted to say, she was suffering too.

But deep down, she had never truly known what hunger felt like, nor the sensation of fleeing for her life...

"My grandma always said," Jia Yin rolled her eyes and continued, "that in a lifetime, the amount of hardship and happiness you experience is predetermined.

"I was born into poverty and lived a difficult life, but I had the love of my parents and family to support me through thick and thin. "

As a princess, you enjoy the luxurious life and high status that ordinary people do not have. Naturally, you also have to bear the pain of distant family affection that comes with being part of the royal family.

It's impossible for everything in life to go smoothly. You can't expect to live your whole life without experiencing any sadness! You can't eat from a bowl and complain about its appearance at the same time.

The Emperor and Empress may not care enough about you, but they certainly give you fine clothes and rich food!

"You want the harmony and happiness of an ordinary family, and you also want the wealth and power of heaven Aren't you being too greedy"

You have the opportunity to visit the relief office. There, so many children have lost their parents and relatives. In this cold weather, they are carrying brooms on the streets, sweeping snow, with sores on their fingers from the cold, just to get two pieces of bread to fill their stomachs.

Their worry was how to survive, how to keep warm, not whether they couldn't stomach bird's nest soup!

The third princess clutched her sleeve, her face flushed, unsure if it was from anger or shame.

Jia Yin was too lazy to waste any more breath. She stood up and said, "Just now, the emperor mentioned that our two families have known each other since we were young. So, I'll look at this face of old acquaintance and say a few more words."

Anyone in this world should learn to be independent, not clinging to anyone for survival, and more importantly, understand their own responsibilities.

As a young girl from a farming family, I have to take care of my elders, help run the family business, and keep learning new skills.

"You are a princess, enjoying the protection of your royal uncle. Shouldn't you prioritize showing filial piety to your royal uncle Even baking some pastries or doing some needlework would be a thoughtful gesture."

The Empress and the Wu family ended up like this because they brought it upon themselves. You forced your uncle, the Emperor, for their sake, how heartbroken he must be!

"Since you're so good at feeling sorry for yourself, I suggest you learn some real skills instead. "

"In the future, if there ever comes a day when you need to share the burdens of Tianwu and your Imperial Uncle, I hope you won't still be this foolish!"

"Not only can't I help Uncle Huang, but I also make him worry about you constantly!"

After saying that, she ignored the third princess, bowed hastily, and left the palace.

The third princess glared angrily, wanting to stop him, but didn't know how to retort.

Taigu, the palace maid, entered and seeing her mistress like this, quickly asked, "Princess, should we bring that person back County Princess Kang Le is too presumptuous!"

The princess went to the Emperor and requested that her title be revoked!

"You're the impertinent one!" The Third Princess changed her expression, reprimanding the palace maid harshly, "Get out! What I do as a princess is none of your concern, you slave!"

Ogimi was startled and immediately retracted her neck, quickly retreating.

The third princess pounded the bedding fiercely.

She spoke in a crisp, sharp tone, not being polite at all. But she wasn't stupid; Jiayin's words did... make sense!

And before that, no one had ever spoken to her like this.

Her nanny and maids would always cater to her, going along with her whims, but this only deepened her obsession.

Today, she was woken up by sarcastic taunts...

In the study, the Emperor and the Marquis talked for a while before the Emperor suddenly remembered something. He asked Yi, the chief steward, "Are the County Princess and the Princess still playing together Have they quarreled"

The Lord remained composed, but he also looked towards Yi, the steward.

He wasn't afraid of Jiayin and the princess arguing, he worried that Jiayin was too understanding and would feel wronged...

Yi Zongtang quickly replied, "This old servant will have Zhi Lan Palace's people come over and inquire about it."

Soon, a young eunuch was brought in...abbits are well-fed, plump and juicy. When they're roasted over fire, they start sizzling and dripping oil in no time, the aroma gradually spreading throughout the air.The chubby little girl and the s...
