Chapter 58 Princess Hengyang's Jealousy and Xiao Si's Marginalization Upon Returning to th
In a parallel universe of the Tang Dynasty, there lived a little rhinoceros named Sizi, who had pink fur and a heart that longed to be loved!
However, between 649 and 650 AD, her fate was not as sweet as her appearance suggested.
She was always ostracized by her other friends in the palace because of her slightly cunning personality. This year, her greatest hobby was to trick her friends in the palace, who were originally favored by her father and were now favored by her brother Zhinu, into falling into her traps and living in dire straits.
At this moment, she was like a warden, ruthlessly ruling over the territory she had reclaimed!
However, behind all of this lies a heartbreaking story.
From 633 to 644, Si Zi was her father Li Shimin's favorite.
Because she smelled sweet coconut milk coffee and had a small bony bump on her forehead, her father and brother affectionately called her "Coconut Coffee Little Rhinoceros".
But as time went by, "Coconut Coffee Little Rhinoceros" passed away before she was 12 years old, leaving with a heart full of longing.
However, Aye gradually emerged from the pain of losing her. Aye developed a new interest in her younger sister, who was a year younger than her, and no longer needed or missed "Little Coconut" as much as before. Waaah~
The pain of being abandoned twisted "Coconut Little Rhinoceros's" mind, and she gradually embarked on the path of a villainous little witch.
For five years, Yeka Xiaosi was happy working alongside General Liji. It wasn't until she returned to the palace in 649 that she became a villain, but her change in behavior was not without reason.
This brings us to Princess Hengshan.
Qiu Sizi: "Do you know Princess Xincheng? She was the youngest daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang, born in 634, one year younger than me!"
Qiu Rongmu yawned: "Little princess, you mean that 16-year-old Princess Hengshan who's getting married now? She's quite the 'little firecracker' in the palace!"
Sizi continued, "She was granted the title of Princess of Hengshan County in the sixteenth year of the Zhenguan era, and enjoyed a real title and increased taxes. At that time, apart from me, she enjoyed the treatment of a 'VIP princess' in the Tang Dynasty!"
Qiu Rongmu blinked: "So, her allowance is also an astronomical figure?"
Si Zi smiled mischievously: "Of course, but her marriage will be a bit of a hassle! She was originally going to marry Wei Zheng's son, Wei Shuyu, but not long after Uncle Wei Zheng passed away, the marriage was canceled by Father."
"Oh dear, that's because His Majesty the Emperor is afraid that Wei Zheng's son will be neglected," Qiu Rongmu comforted him.
Si Zi nodded: "Yes, I know that Father loved her. Later, she married Changsun Quan, but just as the wedding preparations were completed, Father passed away, and the wedding had to be canceled."
Qiu Rongmu sighed, "Life is like this. Even something as certain as a wedding can turn upside down as quickly as flipping through a book. It's so frustrating!"
Si Zi looked up: "Yes, but I've been missing for three years. Brother Zhi Nu didn't even bother to look for me. Instead, he changed my title to Princess of Xincheng County, increased my fief by 5,000 households, and even held a lavish wedding for me!"
"Wow, an additional 5,000 households! Isn't that the Tang Dynasty version of the 'iron rice bowl' that Si Zi mentioned?" Qiu Rongmu suddenly remembered a new word from Si Zi's dictionary.
Si Zi, who was brewing vinegar, chuckled: "It won't be long before her husband, Changsun Quan, is exiled, or even killed. She's not a good wife at all; she later remarried Wei Zhengju..."
In reality, during the five years that "Coconut Coffee Little Rhinoceros" traveled to the side of the young general Xu Shiji, she lived a happy and sweet life thanks to the care of her brother, Pork Tenderloin.
However, she hadn't been idle for the past five years. "Coconut Coffee Little Rhinoceros" went to great lengths and tried every possible method to finally return to her father Li Shimin's side, only to find that everything was different from what she had imagined.
The father has a new daughter in his heart—Princess Hengshan.
Xiao Si realized that she was no longer the most important person in Li Shimin's emotional life.
Nevertheless, Aye—the creator of "Coconut Milk Little Rhinoceros"—saw his most beloved daughter, Little Rhinoceros, whom he had lost and who died young, in the last moments of his life on July 10, 649.
Fortunately, Sizi saw the hopeful light in Aye's eyes when he looked at her, which gave "Coconut Sizi" some comfort.
But now, the person A-Ye loves most is Princess Hengshan!! This is an unchangeable reality, which makes "Coconut Milk Little Rhinoceros" very sad!!
Xiao Si returned to the palace with a wealth of historical memories, thinking she could easily put Princess Hengyang in a difficult situation, but unexpectedly, she was bullied by her in various ways.
After Li Zhi's brother became emperor, he was also busy with his sisters-in-law, and had no time to care about matters like the Si Zi.
Princess Hengyang sat in the garden pavilion with a furrowed brow, toying with a freshly picked peony in her hand.
Her thoughts drifted to the little girl that her brother Zhinu always worried about, the little girl who looked like Princess Jinyang!
"Princess Hengyang, what are you thinking about again?" Zhi Nu's voice suddenly rang out behind her, interrupting her thoughts.
Princess Hengyang turned around, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. "Brother Zhinu, you've finally come to see me? Shouldn't you be going to see that little girl?"
Zhi Nu sighed and sat down opposite her. "Hengyang, why are you always so bothered by that child?"
"I just don't understand," Princess Hengyang's voice trembled slightly, "why do you care so much about her? It was the same when Father was alive!! Am I not good enough?"
Zhi Nu gently held her hand, "Hengyang, you and she are both important sisters to me. It's just that this child looks like Jinyang, and she is an abandoned baby who is now all alone and helpless, so naturally I have to take good care of her."
Princess Hengyang withdrew her hand and stood up. "Hmph, you always have an excuse. I refuse to believe that nowadays anyone who looks like her can enjoy the treatment of a princess?! Is she really that important?!"
Just then, a soft voice came from the side, "Princess Hengyang, Brother Zhinu, what are you talking about?"
Princess Hengyang turned her head and saw the child who looked like Princess Jinyang. A complex mix of emotions, including jealousy, flashed in her eyes.
Zhi Nu quickly stood up and said gently to the little girl, "Xiao Si, you've come. Princess Hengyang is just a little unhappy, and we're having a heart-to-heart talk."
Xiao Si deliberately walked up to Princess Hengyang, her eyes filled with apology, "Princess Hengyang, if I have done anything to upset you, please forgive me."
Princess Hengyang was taken aback; she hadn't expected the child to apologize so directly.
She bit her lip, but finally couldn't suppress her jealousy. "You don't need to pretend. Just because your brother Zhinu likes you doesn't mean you can act like a princess."
Just as Zhinu was about to speak, Xiaosi tugged at her sleeve, interrupting her. Zhinu shook her head helplessly and left the garden with Xiaosi. "Alright, you two should get along well. I need to go and attend to official business."
Princess Hengyang remained alone in the pavilion, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She couldn't understand why she could never receive a love that surpassed that of Jinyang.
On the other side of the palace walls, Li Zhi began to busy himself with state affairs, and had no time to pay attention to the petty romantic relationships within the palace.
Princess Hengyang's unfounded jealousy and Xiao Si's innocence upon returning to the palace became insignificant incidents that went unnoticed in the palace.
Xiao Si, carrying historical memories, returned to the palace but did not become very powerful. She thought she could easily cause all sorts of problems for Princess Hengyang, but she was always bullied by her, both openly and secretly. Her brother Li Zhi was busy as the emperor and had no time to spare.
Xiao Yi, a palace maid of the emperor, was also bribed by Princess Hengyang, who disliked her.
Now, she only has this rectangular wooden "chicken" carving to comfort her.
This "blocky wooden beast chicken" became a bridge between her kind self and her darkened self, preventing her from becoming completely lonely and corrupted!
