“Your Highness, the rarest flowers in the Imperial Garden are blooming!”
“Not interested.”
“Your Highness, the emperor says there are jewels brought as tribute from the north. Would you like to take a look?”
“No. I’m not interested.”
The Grand Princess lounged lazily on the couch and took a sip of tea. Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the window. She frowned. “What’s going on out there?”
“Your Highness, Consort Ying was singing while boating in the Imperial Garden’s pond, and Noble Consort Yan saw her! While Noble Consort Yan was making fun of her, the Empress happened to pass by. Consort Ying pretended that Noble Consort Yan’s boat had bumped her into the water...”
“Quick! Quick, help me up!”
The Grand Princess of the Yong Dynasty is happily enjoying her juicy gossip again today... No, wait, the gossip from her younger brother’s harem.
Everyone in court knows that the Grand Princess’s hobby is holding flower-viewing parties in the Imperial Garden, so they keep sending her all kinds of rare blooms.
The Grand Princess: What’s so nice about those few shabby flowers? The melons brought from outside the palace by the noblewomen at the flower-viewing party are much juicier.
As a gossip lover, she once served up the most famous scandal in the history of the dynasty.
Strictly speaking, that scandal was about her uncle. He failed at rebellion, and the Grand Princess took a cup of poisoned wine in her brother’s place, protecting her younger brother, the current emperor, and her favorite field of gossip. People still write about it in storybooks to this day.
Because of that cup of poisoned wine, she would have difficulty bearing children. Her younger brother felt guilty, and wasn’t worried she would rebel, so even though her hobby sometimes left him speechless, he could put up with his sister’s love of gossip.
Even better, when the crown prince of the Man Kingdom came seeking a bride, no one would send her, the Grand Princess, off to marry him. After all, if the two countries are supposed to be on friendly terms, what kind of gift is a princess who can’t bear children?
But the Grand Princess never expected that someone would actually be into having no heirs, and that it would be the person the emperor feared most.
Right in front of her, he openly told her younger brother, the emperor: “I wish to win Jayi’s heart alone, and stay by her side until our hair turns white.”
The emperor said, “In your dreams.”
He smiled. “Your Majesty, haven’t you always dreamed of me dying without an heir?”
The Grand Princess Jayi didn’t even need to turn around to know that her scumbag younger brother had shamefully fallen for it.
A lighthearted, funny story set in an alternate world.
The reborn tag is there because an important character is reborn, but it isn’t the heroine.
