Jun Ning was speechless for a moment. Is this what it means to have a heart-to-heart connection? At most, they just happened to think of the same thing. But that didn’t stop Emperor Yongning from believing that father and daughter were truly connected. Jun Ning’s full name was thus decided, and her name in this life was the same as in her last, both called Jun Ning. She quite liked this name. Besides that, Emperor Yongning also gave Jun Ning the title of princess, Anle, implying peace and happiness. This title for Jun Ning was really much better compared to those princes born later, who were given random names by Emperor Yongning. Emperor Yongning really put in a lot of effort. But his efforts were ultimately not kept from the harem. Overnight, the news of the return of the Eighteenth Princess and her being favored by Emperor Yongning spread throughout the harem. Especially the story of Emperor Yongning offering to give a hundred taels of gold for each time the Eighteenth Princess called him father, which was vividly recounted in the harem. Everyone, besides feeling envious, jealous, and resentful, could do nothing but discuss this matter all day long. "I really don’t know what good deeds this Eighteenth Princess did in her past life to be so pampered by the emperor in this life. It’s truly enviable." "Isn’t it just? Some people work themselves to the bone for a lifetime, and being able to fill their bellies is already a blessing. Yet some people have whatever they want, even if they don’t want it, others chase after them to give it to them." The ’some people’ in their mouths could only refer to Jun Ning, a darling of the heavens. "Calling him father once earns a hundred taels of gold. I heard the princess called him five times, earning five hundred taels of gold. Five hundred taels of gold! From the time I started earning money as a kid, I could never make that much." "Comparing oneself to others always leads to anger. I wish I were the Eighteenth Princess." "You toad, are you worthy?" "You..." The person who was scolded as a toad suddenly couldn’t speak, as she was indeed not worthy, being both ugly and tall and strong. And the person who disparaged the other as a toad, who wasn’t worthy of being the Eighteenth Princess, craved foolishly, "I’m not saying I want to be the Eighteenth Princess forever, just for a day would be enough, even if I die after." "Heh heh heh..." The person who was just scolded as a toad chuckled coldly and returned the words to the one who scolded her, "You toad, are you worthy?" The two started arguing. They argued for a long time without determining a winner, and then started fighting. The presiding matron saw it and quickly ordered people to separate the two. "You two are so worthless, fighting over a prince disguised as a princess, selling themselves to please the emperor; is it worth it?" The people at the bottom didn’t know the real situation, but that didn’t mean the presiding matrons were unaware, especially when this matron was one of the empress’s people, controlling the affairs of the harem. The fact that the eighteenth prince was ordered by the emperor to dress as a princess and serve as his Eighteenth Princess to satisfy his own desires was something known to the matron from the beginning. From the moment she found out, she held nothing but disdain in her heart for the Eighteenth Prince. For the sake of this favor, the Eighteenth Prince has truly gone mad, discarding even the bottom line of a man, even dressing as a woman? "Really?" Those who had envied the Eighteenth Princess just moments ago now felt a bit uneasy. "Do I have a reason to lie to you?" the matron said. "Of course not." Everyone believed the matron’s words. Now, no one envied the princess anymore, nor were they discussing the blessed life of the princess. "You think, when the Eighteenth Prince grows up, won’t he be noticed when he dresses as a woman?" "When he grows up, is he still going to dress as a woman to please the emperor?" No one dared to imagine what the Eighteenth Prince, with a beard, muscles, robust and strong, dressed as a woman would look like. PS: To prevent confusion, here’s an introduction. The Eighteenth Prince = The Eighteenth Princess = Jun Ning = Yi Yi = a certain little rascal In short, all these names refer to the same person, our heroine. The heroine, the heroine, the heroine. (Repeating important things three times) As for the ’he’ or ’she’ in the text, I write according to the plot, so don’t get confused. Fresh chapters posted on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
