CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 70: MY MOTHER IS THE ELDEST PRINCESS

Indeed.

Xia Yurong, provoked, was like a cat with its fur standing on end, furious, "What is she."

"To put it nicely, she’s the Thirteenth Princess; to put it bluntly, she’s not even as good as a palace maid. My mother is the Eldest Princess, the Emperor is my uncle, and just a few days ago, I went to offer my respects to him as well."

"Moreover, my Grand Empress Dowager praised me for being smart. She’s only met my uncle a few times; she’s not worthy of being my cousin."

"My mother said, I’m the legitimate daughter of the family, and my status is much higher than those generally not favored princesses. Just her, daring to compare with me, shameless. My father is still the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. If anyone dares to make me unhappy, I’ll have my father arrest them all and throw them into jail."

After finishing, she snorted, the small face with a hint of baby fat was covered with arrogance and disdain.

Imperious, she was clearly a little devil causing chaos.

Her stream of firecrackers-like words attracted more passersby to frequently turn their heads.

The Eldest Princess, wealthy beyond measure, pursued luxury and extravagance in her dining and lifestyle, enjoyed to the fullest, squandered beyond reason. It’s said that during one birthday banquet, the table was piled high with exotic delicacies, stunning all who witnessed.

One night, spending tens of thousands of taels.

After the banquet, an official commented, "From the inner court came wine vessels, precious items, glass, crystal, jade, emeralds, the epitome of luxury, not just the squandering of the wealthy family."

Food, clothing, housing, transportation, if meals were like this, clothing, housing, transportation are needless to say.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice, a Fourth Grade official, oversees criminal case trials, the Imperial Prison is also under his jurisdiction.

The Imperial Prison.

Those who enter are likely doomed, the place has countless torture devices, a place that leads to despair.

There are all kinds of ways to torment prisoners, people say: Better to die than to enter the Imperial Prison.

It is precisely Xia Yurong’s father Xia Xiu who oversees it, which has led to her audacious nature.

Chu Bingyan nodded in agreement, filled with righteousness, "Yes, if anyone dares bully you, I’ll be the first to disagree."

The opportunistic attitude was obvious, yet the person involved was oblivious.

"Me too, if anyone dares bully you, just tell me, I’ll have my father arrest them for imprisonment."

Qinglian seemed accustomed to such scenes, her eyes closed, eyelashes drooping, without speech.

Meet each change with constancy.

In theory, she’s her cousin, yet out of envy for her beauty, she’s been subjected to harsh words since childhood, which is saddening.

Beside her, Chu Bingyan is the lackey of her cousin, a scheming character that makes one fearful.

For instance, this enrollment exam, Chu Bingyan didn’t meet the exemption criteria.

Her father is a Fifth Grade official, but somehow managed to ask Xia Shirong to obtain a letter from the Eldest Princess, allowing her to be exempted from the enrollment exam, so the two could pair up and leisurely roam the college, instead of taking the exam with the other students.

"Ah."

Little Fatty Xia Shirong cried out, "I forgot to find Brother Yi, once the exam finishes, we can have lunch together."

The Brother Yi she spoke of is the person Little Fatty likes.

He specially came today to see his enrollment exam, which he could have exempted, yet insisted on entering through his own ability, saying something like: "A man must know what ought to be done and what ought not to..." or words she couldn’t understand.

In her view, no matter what Brother Yi says, it’s correct.

No, there’s one wrong thing, it’s that Brother Yi actually said her cousin was pretty...

She glanced at her again, where’s the beauty, all skin and bones.

Ignoring her so-called cousin, Xia Shirong raised her noble chin and swaggered away with Chu Bingyan towards the direction of the back mountain.
