When news broke that the Grand Princess was marrying the Prince Regent as his concubine, the capital was thrown into an uproar.
Everyone said the Prince Regent was far too arrogant. There had never been a princess who became a concubine; it was an insult to the imperial family and a grave act of disrespect!
So what if she was a concubine?
She had a grand procession of dowry gifts, a hundred servants, and a noble title. She was still every bit as distinguished.
And she wouldn't have to manage the household, leaving her free to enjoy herself.
If anyone dared disrespect her, she wouldn't show them any mercy!
Not even the Prince Regent.
“Who offended the princess? I'll teach them a lesson for you!” The usually cold and ruthless Prince Regent smiled apologetically, his heart aching for her.
“You did.”
“I... I was wrong. Please punish me, Princess. Just... go easy on me, or you'll end up feeling sorry for me.”
This reversal was caught off guard. It's a pity that the regent is no longer here.
