Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 429 - 429 424 Bad Luck

?Chapter 429: Chapter 424: Bad Luck Chapter 429: Chapter 424: Bad Luck It was late morning on the fourth day, and Chen Afu rode alone in a carriage to Princess Rongzhao’s Mansion.

Princess Rongzhao knew that Chen Afu and her child were coming today, she was waiting for them in the side room on a Luohan Bed with Marquis Chu.

Since last year, when she was covered in bird feces, her luck had taken a turn for the worse. Almost no one came to visit, and the Empress Dowager had sent her to a monastery to copy scriptures and lead a vegetative life for three months. In particular, at the end of last year, there was a snow disaster in the north. Many ministers blamed the disaster on her, and she was grounded by the Empress Dowager. With nothing to do in the mansion, she spent her time copying scriptures and clinging to Marquis Chu. If Marquis Chu was not around, she vented her frustration on her servants.

Her daughter, Xue Baoyi, had been betrothed by the Empress Dowager. For fear that her granddaughter would fall into disfavor for her mother’s misfortune, Lady Ma had arranged for Xue Baoyi to enter the palace for personal instruction since the grounding of Rong Zhao.

Princess Rongzhao couldn’t understand why she had incurred the disgust of the Bird Fairy so that it often defecated on her. Sometimes she wondered if she had really, as the officials accused, angered the Bird Fairy for her actions—causing the death of her first husband, taking another man’s husband, forcing someone to become a nun, and jeopardising their grandchild.

But most of the time, she didn’t believe that was the case. The phrase “all land under heaven belongs to the king” applied to her, as the daughter of the emperor. Whoever she wanted as her consort would be her consort. Even if he was another’s husband, as long as she wanted him, he would be hers. This was not stealing but her due privilege.

However, since her ill fortune began, not only did the emperor and the Empress Dowager turned cold towards her, but even the second prince was not as warm as he used to be. Especially Chu Lang, the man she dearly loved, became ever more perfunctory. He often “roamed around” while she copied scriptures, sometimes for half a day, sometimes a day or two, the longest time was three days, which greatly upset her.
