They truly spoil her, but when she does something wrong, they truly punish her too.
The little princess Ye Xiangning is the darling of everyone around her. As the Empress's cherished daughter and a legitimate princess, she has been the center of attention since birth.
The Emperor takes special care of Xiangning. He often makes time to keep her company and personally teaches her all kinds of knowledge and etiquette alongside the Empress Dowager, hoping she will grow into a poised, elegant, and well-educated princess. Xiangning's older brother, the Crown Prince, dotes on her just as much. Whenever she wants some new toy or feels like going somewhere for fun, he always indulges her without a second thought.
Later, when Princess Xiangning grew up and married, her husband, Mo Chen, spoiled her even more. In his eyes, Xiangning was the most adorable and precious treasure in the world, and he would grant nearly any wish of hers. But because everyone loved her so unconditionally, Xiangning grew into a little menace. She was like an energetic little monkey, never able to sit still. Every day, she came up with all sorts of novel ideas and, of course, got into all kinds of trouble.
Although everyone doted on Xiangning, they never gave her any leeway when it came to matters of principle. Whenever she did something wrong, whoever caught her would reprimand her without mercy. If her father found out, Xiangning had to accept his stern punishment and take a beating. If her Crown Prince brother caught her, he'd give her a thorough scolding too. After she married, even Mo Chen, for all the love he showered on her, would punish her with a stern expression whenever she misbehaved, to teach her a lesson.
