When the little Crown Prince was eight, he climbed a tree, hoping to scramble over the wall and sneak out of the palace to play. Six-year-old Wang Li stood beneath the tree, tilting her head as she watched him. Then she looked at the empty garden and called, "Your Majesty."
The little Crown Prince was startled, slipped, and fell from the tree, fracturing an extremely important part of his body. From then on, the emperor, the imperial concubines, and the officials at court all began worrying about whether the Crown Prince would ever have children.
Ten years later, when the Crown Prince was choosing a bride, the two most popular candidates, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, Duke of Wei, and the fourth daughter of the Jiang family, General of Zhen, ran into trouble one after another. An imperial edict arrived at the long-declining residence of Commandery Princess Qingxiang, and Wang Li became Xiao Yuanzhen's Crown Princess.
But Wang Li was rather troubled by the marriage. The Crown Prince had held a grudge against her since childhood, seemed to have a cousin he loved, and his mother disliked her. On top of that, plenty of beautiful women were eyeing the Crown Princess position and hoping to take her place.
Sigh, how was she supposed to live like this?
Scene One:
Xiao Yuanzhen: "Wang Ali, don't ever bring that up again!"
Wang Li: "You mean the time you climbed a tree as a child, fell down, and fractured that part of your body?"
Xiao Yuanzhen: "..."
Scene Two:
Xiao Yuanzhen smugly prepared to watch the show. "Consort Hou has Father's favor and is a real expert at making people miserable. If she goes after you at the palace banquet, I won't help you."
Wang Li: "All right, Your Highness!"
Later, at the palace banquet, the Crown Prince went all out and verbally tore into Consort Hou so badly she nearly hanged herself.
Wang Li's inner thoughts: "His Highness really is cold on the outside but warm-hearted on the inside!"
