The prince had fallen for a concubine as aloof as a chrysanthemum.
For her birthday, he spent a fortune building the most luxurious pleasure boat in the whole capital.
But the concubine accused him of wasteful extravagance.
The prince flew into a fit of embarrassment and anger.
Reborn with my eyes wide open, I immediately stepped forward:
“If my younger sister doesn't want it, then why not give it to me, Your Highness?”
The concubine's expression changed dramatically at my words.
Later, when floods ravaged Yongzhou, she urged everyone to donate to relief efforts, but didn't give a single coin herself.
So I immediately had her private treasury emptied and stopped her monthly allowance.
This time, the concubine dropped her airs for good and caused a scene, squabbling and trading blows with me in front of everyone.
