Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Tan Tai Jin decided to withdraw the bird next to Xiao Lin and focus on observing Jiang Xinxin. It was not a decision he made casually. It was because he found that Jiang Xinxin deliberately concealed her appearance, so he immediately became interested in Jiang Xinxin. After this observation, he found that she actually had a very great influence on Ye Xiwu, so he even gave up observing Ye Bingshang and just stared at Jiang Xinxin.

Two days later, it was time for Ye Bingshang to put on her makeup. The Grand Princess said to Ye Bingshang directly, "You were originally going out to be a concubine. Even if you are included in the royal family genealogy, you are not the principal wife after all. You should not have such an arrangement."

"But the status of King Xuancheng is different after all, so today you should take a look at what the family has prepared for you."

"But you should know that your mother was born a maid and died early, so she left you nothing. It is only natural that your dowry is not as good as Yugiri's!"

This does seem to be the truth, but Ye Bingshang feels indignant, unwilling, and unfair. However, she also knows that their grandmother has always only valued the legitimate children, Ye Xiwu and Ye Qingyu. She believes that she cannot compare to these two, but she did not expect that her dowry is less than half of Ye Xiwu's!

What kind of person is the eldest princess? She saw at a glance that Ye Bingshang was still not satisfied. She immediately gave face to Ye Bingshang, the concubine of Prince Xuancheng, and turned her face black in front of the guests.

Not all the guests who came today were there just for the sake of Prince Xuancheng's face. Besides, the discord between the two girls in the General's Mansion had long been known to everyone. It was beyond many people's expectations that Ye Bingshang could get a dowry worth almost 20,000 yuan when she got married.

But even so, Ye Bingshang herself was still somewhat dissatisfied, which invisibly cast a blemish on her previously impeccable reputation.

In fact, not only Ye Bingshang herself was dissatisfied with her dowry, but Ye Xiwu was even more dissatisfied. She knew that Ye Bingshang's dowry was prepared according to her example, and the extra money came from her father's private treasury and those who flattered King Xuancheng.

Even so, Ye Xiwu still felt that she was outdone by Ye Bingshang, so she drew out her whip and prepared to cause trouble for Ye Bingshang.

Chun Tao felt that a disaster was about to happen. Jiang Xinxin pulled Ye Xiwu back and advised, "Miss, this is not a good time to find trouble with others. Let's wait one more night."

Ye Xiwu was furious and could not listen to Jiang Xinxin's words. She immediately stopped and asked, "What do you mean? Do I need to choose a date to cause trouble for Ye Bingshang?!"

Jiang Xinxin was still in that unhurried manner, "It wasn't necessary in the past, but there are so many people here today, so we do need to be more careful. We don't need to sacrifice our own reputation to bring glory to Ye Bingshang."

Ye Xiwu took a deep breath and finally stopped trying to go to the front. However, her displeased look still frightened Chuntao and she dared not approach.

Jiang Xinxin sighed inwardly and said helplessly: "If the young lady insists on finding Ye Bingshang to vent her anger, I have a simple way here, it only takes two sentences, but can you restrain yourself?"

Ye Xiwu only had the matter of finding trouble with Ye Bingshang in his mind, and everything else was easy to deal with. He immediately held up three fingers to promise that he would obey. Jiang Xinxin then said, "You don't have to show up. Just think that someone is stopping you from going to the front living room, and say two things in the back: First, it shows that the lady and Ye Bingshang's aunt are worlds apart; second, most of your dowry came from the lady's dowry. It's her aunt's fault that Ye Bingshang didn't have it, and it has nothing to do with the family."

Ye Xiwu was always very smart in finding trouble for Ye Bingshang, and she wanted to rush out and expose Ye Bingshang's true face, but Jiang Xinxin grabbed her and reminded her: "Miss, don't forget what you promised me."

Ye Xiwu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Jiang. I know that time will pass quickly."

Ye Xiwu happily trotted with Chuntao to the courtyard behind the main hall and set up a battle. She first whipped Chuntao on the ground, frightening her so much that she couldn't help but screamed and quickly covered her mouth and knelt down to apologize. However, Ye Xiwu didn't have time to see what she was doing. Instead, she cursed towards the main hall: "What is the status of her aunt, and what is the status of my mother, don't you know?"

"My dowry is large because my mother was willing to give it all to me, and my grandmother and father love me. Ye Bingshang can get a dowry of 20,000 from the public treasury, but she is still not satisfied?"

Ye Xiwu became more and more angry as she spoke. She was about to rush into the main hall to punch and kick Ye Bingshang, but then she remembered the promise she had just made to Jiang Xinxin. Although Jiang Xinxin would not do anything to her, she inexplicably felt that she must not challenge Jiang Xinxin, otherwise she might suffer the consequences.

So Ye Xiwu angrily kicked a pot of goose yellow daffodils under the corridor to the ground, then turned around and left.

Many people in the main hall heard the noise. The eldest princess had no choice but to smooth things over for Ye Xiwu: "This evil creature of ours was spoiled a long time ago. Now that she is married, she still behaves like a girl. She is not as quiet and steady as her sister. She is really a joke to you all."

Everyone praised Ye Bingshang for her gentle nature and intelligence, but in their hearts they all felt that Ye Bingshang was a scheming and insatiable person, and concluded that she was not someone they could have close friendships with.

Ye Bingshang has always been the best at reading people's faces. How could she not sense the slight changes in the ladies?

But it would be wrong to say or do anything at this moment. It is better to be still than to move. Anyway, she will be the concubine of Prince Xuancheng in the future, and Xiao Lin also promised her that there will be no second woman in the palace. So what if she is only a concubine?

Ye Xiwu only vented a little of her anger, and the rest was vented on Tan Tai Jin.

She first whipped Tan Tai Jin, then turned around and ordered someone to treat Tan Tai Jin's injuries. She also gave all her own homework to Tan Tai Jin to help complete.

This action actually made things much easier for Tan Tai Jin. Jiang Xin Xin didn't want Tan Tai Jin to vent his grievances to the General's Mansion in the future, so she arranged for someone to whisper in Tan Tai Jin's ear, "You are the prince of Jing State. You didn't learn poetry, books, etiquette, etc. in the palace. Now you have a ready-made opportunity to learn without alerting the palace. This opportunity is rare, you must seize it."

Later, in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, Jiang Xinxin also arranged a lot of mountains, rivers, geography, and cultural customs for Tan Tai Jin. The purpose was to let him open his eyes to the world. Even if he was a hostage abandoned by his motherland, he should not be confined to the backyard.

Ye Bingshang got married successfully in the end. Even though the ceremony at the general's mansion was not as grand as the one when Ye Xiwu got married, she was very satisfied when she saw King Xuancheng Xiao Lin coming to welcome her in person. Then she looked back at Ye Xiwu who did not hide her jealousy, and she felt that her mind was clear and the huge rock that had been oppressing her head was all gone.

Ye Xiwu regarded the look that Ye Bingshang turned back as an active provocation. She wanted to pounce on her and tear off Ye Bingshang's fake smile, but she also understood the occasion and could only suppress her anger.

The eldest princess who watched all this happen felt very distressed for Ye Xiwu. Even though she couldn't say what to do to Ye Bingshang, she still assured Ye Xiwu: "Now that she has married into the Xuancheng Palace, she will no longer be a member of the Ye family. Just let her be the concubine of the Xuancheng Prince."

The eldest princess really doesn't think highly of Ye Bingshang and Xiao Lin, because Ye Bingshang is too determined. She places all her hopes on a stranger like Xiao Lin. If Xiao Lin shows any signs of doing something else in the future, her good days will be over.
