Gu Shengyin knew that Jiang Yunsan, from another world, was extrely sensitive to her identity as a concubine-born daughter. In the original story, after becoming the favoured one in the six palaces, she forcefully had the Emperor change her ignoble birth to a more prestigious one. It was as if by doing so, she could truly elevate herself above others.
Gu Shengyin's task in this world was to prevent Jiang Lingzhen's tragic fate and make her the most honored woman in the Tianqi Dynasty.
To achieve this, Jiang Yunsan, the greatest hidden danger, could not be left alone.
Before that, Jiang Lingzhen did not mind letting her taste the bitterness of being scorned by others. After all, in the original story, Jiang Lingzhen was humiliated to the point of taking her own life by her.
Jiang Yunsan's hand, hidden in her sleeve, was clawed bloody by her fingernails, yet her face bore the appearance of tearful sadness, "Yunsan is well aware of her lowly status, unworthy of associating with the Crown Prince, my cousin. It was only out of admiration for my cousin's impressive deanor that I lost control of my feelings. If I have been disrespectful, I beg my cousin, the Crown Prince, to forgive ."
Having spoken, she covered her face and wept softly, planning to leave.
The Crown Prince had always been tender-hearted towards beautiful won, how could he stand to see such a beauty in tears? Especially since Jiang Yunsan was an elegant beauty who only had eyes for him.
The Crown Prince felt a great satisfaction to his male pride.
He quickly stopped Jiang Yunsan and managed to keep her there with coaxing and smiling.
Gu Shengyin watched this farce, wondering how such a blockhead managed to beco the Crown Prince.
Since her task was to beco the most honored woman of the Tianqi era, then, to spare herself the disgust, it would be better for soone else to sit in the most honorable man's position.
anwhile, the Crown Prince asked Jiang Yunsan what she had been doing earlier, and Jiang Yunsan took the opportunity to recount the previous events.
Sure enough, the Crown Prince imdiately turned a disapproving gaze towards Gu Shengyin, "Cousin, your fall was not the fault of cousin Yunsan. She has a kind and pure heart, and has even personally co to apologize. Why must you be so petty?"
Gu Shengyin detested n like the Crown Prince who abandoned their principles at the sight of a beautiful woman. "Gu Shengyin" had t such a man, which had led her to such a desolate end.
She lazily looked at her neatly manicured, shiny nails and said, "Crown Prince, your words are quite strange. I was rely sitting here enjoying the scenery when my sister, unbidden, ran over to with her grievances. I had just awakened from unconsciousness, my head still heavy and muddled, and truly did not understand what she was trying to do."
She glanced at Jiang Yunsan, "But seeing you, Crown Prince, coming over, I seem to have understood a bit more."
Not wanting to see this pair any longer, she clutched her forehead and let out an "ouch," upon which the maids Hu Zhu and Lin Lang, who had been standing by, imdiately ca over with worried faces.
"Commandery Princess, are you feeling unwell?" Hu Zhu asked.
Gu Shengyin nodded, "Having been in the wind for half the day, I really am feeling a bit dizzy. Help back to rest."
After she spoke, she signaled to the two of them with a nod and left, supported by the hands of the two maids.
Ji Ye watched her slightly pale face, which, compared to her usual stern manner, had gained a touch of frailty and an added charm. Sothing stirred in him, and he wanted to follow her.
But unexpectedly, from the side ca a sudden "ouch" of surprise, and he turned his head to find himself with an armful of warm and fragrant beauty.
Gu Shengyin heard the commotion behind her, and the corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile.
