Chapter 802: Hypocritical Crown Princess
What Jiang Chunxi said was indeed true. When the prince left Jiang Chunxi's place to go back to handle official business, Shen Qinglan was waiting for him outside the prince's study with red eyes from crying.
"Prince." As soon as Shen Qinglan opened her mouth when she saw the prince, tears started falling.
The prince frowned, looking extremely annoyed. Without even saying a word to Shen Qinglan, he walked straight into the study.
The prince's appearance naturally hit Shen Qinglan again.
"Tell me! What do you want to see me for?" After the prince walked into the study and sat down, he looked at Shen Qinglan who came in with him and asked:
"Prince, how could you hand over the power of the Eastern Palace to Concubine Jiang?" Shen Qinglan cried, "Prince, I am your Crown Princess, but now you have handed over the Eastern Palace to Concubine Jiang. Where do you put me, the Crown Princess?"
"Your Highness, how could you treat me like this? I gave you my whole heart, but you betrayed me. Now you are slapping me in the face and letting Concubine Jiang ride on my head. Do you really want to break my heart completely before you are satisfied?"
"Ha!" The prince was speechless when he chuckled. "Why would I need your sincerity? As the Crown Princess, you only need to fulfill your duties as the Crown Princess. It's ridiculous to talk about sincerity or insincerity."
"But! You are really disappointing. You can't even fulfill the most basic duties of a Crown Princess. So I just can't understand why you still have the nerve to question me about where I put you."
"Shen Qinglan, you are the one who doesn't take yourself seriously, so don't blame others for looking down on you. Since you can't be a good Crown Princess, you should be prepared. I will not take you seriously as my wife."
"No, I don't believe it," Shen Qinglan's eyes were filled with tears, and her expression was indescribable. "Prince, I don't believe it. I don't believe that you don't have me in your heart. You clearly loved me so much in the past! But how can you be so cruel to me now and say such heartbreaking words to me?"
The prince was speechless. "When have I ever loved you? And what merits do you have that are worthy of my attention? Shen Qinglan, sometimes I really want to knock open your brain and see what's in it."
"The word idiot is not enough to describe your stupidity. If I had known you were so stupid, I would never have married a stupid woman like you even if I had to disobey the emperor's order. Having a stupid woman like you as my crown princess is simply a stain on me."
Shen Qinglan's face turned pale and she could hardly stand. For a woman whose mind was full of love, the prince's words were like a torture to Shen Qinglan. It was more than just a blow.
"Alright, I still have official business to attend to, please leave immediately!" The prince continued, "Also, in the future, if there is no publicity from me, you are not allowed to come to see me without permission."
"The most important thing is that you should respect Concubine Jiang. Chunxi is now my concubine and a county lady appointed by my father. She is no longer the maidservant beside you. If you still have a little brain, you should recognize your current situation instead of targeting Chunxi out of jealousy and embarrassing her."
"You should know that my patience with you is almost exhausted. If you behave yourself in the future, I don't mind you continuing to occupy the position of Crown Princess. But if..." The Crown Prince looked at Shen Qinglan with extremely cold eyes, "But if you insist on not recognizing your situation and want to make things difficult for Chunxi, then I don't mind changing you to a new Crown Princess."
Shen Qinglan collapsed and sat down on the ground, staring at the prince in a daze, as if she didn't want to believe how could the prince say such cruel words to her.
This made the prince look annoyed again. He waved his hand and had Shen Qinglan taken away.
Shen Qinglan fell ill right after he returned and cancelled his plan to pay his respects the next day.
But Jiang Chunxi still came to Shen Qinglan's palace the next morning.
"When I heard that the Crown Princess was ill, I naturally had to come and visit her. Otherwise, the Crown Princess would accuse me of being disrespectful to you." Jiang Chunxi said this and sat down on the chair.
"Who let you in?" Shen Qinglan sat up with difficulty, "Get out of here. I don't want to see you at all now."
"Someone come! Someone come!" Shen Qinglan shouted outside, wanting his servants to come in and drive Jiang Chunxi away.
However, the servants outside ignored Shen Qinglan's shouting. Even though Shen Qinglan almost broke his throat by shouting, no servant came in.
"Tsk tsk! Look at you as the Crown Princess. I don't know what to say to you," Jiang Chunxi sneered. "Okay, stop shouting. Otherwise, if you really tear your throat, that will be bad."
"Look at you! How can you be so useless?" Jiang Chunxi continued to say, "When I was serving you before, none of your servants dared to ignore you. But look at your current situation. None of your servants regard you as their master."
"As the Crown Princess, you are ill, but there is not a single servant by your side." Jiang Chunxi looked at the kettle on the table and said, "Look at the kettle on the table. It's probably cold water. The servants serving you are preventing you, the master, from even having a sip of hot water!"
"You bitch," Shen Qinglan said angrily, "If I had known this would happen, I should have killed you with a stick. Once a slave, always a slave, but now I let you, a bitch, climb over my head. I really regret it! Why didn't I believe your words and take your life directly?"
"Haha!" Jiang Chunxi laughed out loud, "So, I have to thank you for not killing me back then!"
Then, Jiang Chunxi stood up, walked to the bed, and slapped Shen Qinglan in the face from a condescending position.
Shen Qinglan covered her face which was hurt by the beating, with an expression of disbelief on her face, and fear reflected in her pupils as she looked at Jiang Chunxi: "You...you actually dared to hit me."
"I'm hitting you, you idiot," Jiang Chunxi pinched Shen Qinglan's chin, and sneered as she got close to her face. "Shen Qinglan, do you know what I hate most about you? What I hate most is your stupidity and ignorance. It's a shame for me to have a master as stupid as you."
"Heh!" Jiang Chunxi laughed disdainfully, and then let go of Shen Qinglan's chin, "God is really unfair. Just because you were born into a good family, a stupid person like you can be honored as a lady from a wealthy family, and even marry the prince and become the prince's consort."
