Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Ninth Princess Qi Aoshan forced a bitter smile on her face.

"Mrs. Luo's comforting words can be said to be a sign of suffering from her conscience. However, my princess' heart is as dead as water, and the road ahead is bleak. In my eyes, it is nothing but darkness," she said.

He slowly raised the hand holding a string of sandalwood beads and pointed out the window, "In my eyes, everything in the world is just like the flowers and plants in the dead flowerpot in the garden, and I am the same."

"It makes no difference in my eyes whether it's day or night, whether the sun rises or sets," she said.

Qi Aoshan's words made Yang Ruoqing secretly surprised. She looked at Qi Aoshan's appearance again, her eyes were dull and her eye sockets were sunken...

Several words popped up in Yang Ruoqing's mind: depression? Autism?

"Ninth Princess, I know that your negative emotions are related to your experiences." Yang Ruoqing said.

"I don't know how to persuade you, but no matter what, I still hope that the Ninth Princess can cheer up,"

"You are still so young, and you still have great years waiting for you in your life. You can't let yourself languish like this just because of some setbacks." Yang Ruoqing said.

Qi Aoshan looked away from the window and looked at Yang Ruoqing, with a hint of ridicule on her lips.

"It's really been ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi. I still vaguely remember the time when we first met a long time ago. I actually looked down on you and thought you were born in a humble way."

"Moreover, I once admired General Luo and wanted to use my status as a princess to gain an advantage over you..."

"My cousin Han Ruyi, the pseudo-empress, also looks down on you..."

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "That's all in the past. I've forgotten about it. It's okay if the princess doesn't mention it."

Qi Aoshan shook her head, "I never imagined that the person we once looked down upon has now become Mrs. Zhongyong, the wife of the pillar of the country."

"In the past, those of us who thought we were superior were reduced to prisoners and sent to remote and cold places."

"And I lost my husband at a young age and spent the rest of my life miserably in this cage-like princess mansion. It's really a trick of fate!"

"I have to say, Mrs. Luo, you are indeed a blessed person. You have a childhood sweetheart, a husband, and a son and a daughter. I envy you." Qi Aoshan said with a sincere face.

Yang Ruoqing just smiled tenderly. To be honest, she wouldn't be happy to be a princess if she was given one.

It seems to be high and mighty, but to put it bluntly, it is just a chess piece of the royal family.

Fortunately, God allowed her to attach herself to the silly fat girl in Changping Village when her soul came to life. The simple and ordinary farm life is a good life.

"Princess, everyone has their own advantages and difficulties. The same is true for the princess, and the same is true for me." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Let's not talk about this topic for now. Originally, I didn't dare to disturb the princess's purity, but because of the matter at the manor, I had to take the liberty to submit a post and wanted to come in person to thank the princess for her success!"

Yang Ruoqing said, stood up and blessed Qi Aoshan again.

Qi Aoshan smiled lightly and said: "Mrs. Luo, there is no need to be so polite. The manor was originally given to me as a dowry by my mother."

"She knew that I liked flowers and plants, so when I was five or six years old, she opened up the manor and hired the best gardeners to cultivate the flowers in the greenhouse so that I could see them even in the coldest winter.

Spring flowers," she said.

Yang Ruoqing listened carefully and nodded gently.

All mothers in the world, unless they are special cases, should have the same feelings for their children.

Even though she is a queen who is inferior to one person and outnumbers ten thousand people, even though her methods are used to rule out the harem, she still treats her daughter with heart and soul.

Qi Aoshan's voice about memories continued to reach Yang Ruoqing's ears.

"My queen mother loves me and dotes on me, and so does my father. It's like the moon in the sky. If they can pick it off, I'm afraid they will pick it for me."

"It's a pity that fate didn't work for me. Although Shili Hongzhuang married the prince's consort, the couple's love lasted only a few months before he was involved in the rebellion of the false emperor."

"It's a pity that I have nothing to do and I don't have the shame to return to the palace, so I have to spend the rest of my life quietly in this princess's mansion as a widow from a wandering family."

"As for the flowers and plants in the manor, I have no intention of taking care of them, but they are my mother's thoughts for me and I can't bear to waste them."

"After much thought, I entrusted my sixth brother to help me take care of things temporarily. And my sixth brother is used to wielding swords and sticks. I'm afraid he is also a person who doesn't know how to show mercy to women."

"The flowers and fruits bloom in the garden season after season, and no matter how brilliant they are, no one knows how to appreciate them."

"Now that Mrs. Luo has this intention, I am also happy to leave the garden to you to take care of. The beauty of adulthood also makes me feel relieved. So, speaking of it, it is I who should thank you, Mrs. Luo!"

Speaking of this, Qi Aoshan stood up and bowed slightly towards Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing quickly stepped aside and said, "Princess, please don't do this and upset your wife."

She took out the handwritten copy of "The List of Gods" she had brought over from her sleeves, and presented it to Qi Aoshan with both hands.

"This is a batch of stories that I compiled during my free time. They are all myths and legends. I originally planned to use them to discuss publishing with Mrs. Han,"

"The princess is generous enough to lend me the manor. I will give this novel to the princess to kill time. I hope the princess will not dislike it!" Yang Ruoqing said again.

When Qi Aoshan saw this novel, a glimmer of light flashed through her eyes. She quickly put down her beads and picked up the book and started reading the first few pages...

Yang Ruoqing didn't make a sound and stood quietly aside, waiting quietly.

In fact, she could have written "The Romance of the West Chamber". Novels like "The Plum in the Golden Vase" would definitely please her more if they were given to the Ninth Princess.

However, considering that the Ninth Princess is now a widow, it is better to show her as few erotic things as possible to avoid making her even more sad.

It would be good to read some fairy tales to divert your attention.

At this time, Yang Ruoqing did consider the Ninth Princess with such good intentions, but what happened in the future was completely unexpected to her.

It is precisely because of this book "The List of Gods" that the Ninth Princess became crazy obsessed with the character named "Yang Jian" in the novel.

He also fell in love with Wujiwu, and developed a yearning for Yang Jian's Taoist sect, and got acquainted with people he shouldn't have met, which led to a series of major events. Many years later, this incident was sealed as a royal secret and scandal by the new emperor Qi Xingyun.
