Princess Yongning has golden branches and jade leaves, but she lives a more casual life than anyone else. She loves good food, loves to sneak out of the house to go shopping, and loves to ride horses around the yard to have fun - but she was married to a poor scholar by an imperial edict.
Shen Heqing has gentle eyebrows, a soft voice, and a harmless smile. Fetching tea and water for her, cooking and washing dishes, and warming her a cup of soothing tea in the middle of the night - the princess thought to herself: What does this person want?
At first, the princess regarded him as a hard-working "long-term worker", and the consort regarded the princess as a good financial sponsor. The two have their own thoughts, test each other, and live under the same roof. The princess said she disliked him every day, and the prince-in-law smiled and accepted it every day.
But this life is going on, why is something wrong?
The tea brewed by the prince consort became more and more fragrant. The princess even said "I won't drink it", but she secretly smelled it all night long. The hairpin given by the prince-in-law is obviously "too plain", but he wears it every day and is reluctant to take it off. The prince-in-law was injured. The princess said that he deserved it, but she guarded him all night. The prince-in-law stood in the yard for an hour, and the princess watched from behind the window all night. Neither of them would speak first.
Until one day, the princess found that she was so angry that she couldn't sleep because he looked at other women.
She asked him: "What are you planning?"
He smiled and said, "Princess Tu, you are happy."
But this man is not a poor scholar - his handwriting is prettier than that of the Hanlin Academy, his tea is better than that of the palace, and the way he protects her at the critical moment doesn't look like a helpless scholar at all.
He hid it so deeply, but she saw through him bit by bit.
