Chapter 1497: Her Highness the Princess (47)

Lin Yuexiang could not understand why the noble Princess would spend so much effort transforming her.

Along the way, they traveled through mountains and rivers, composed poetry, and painted. Tang Guo even had people nurse her health and care for the skin that had already begun to age.

Meanwhile, her two children became Yun Buxiu's nominal disciples.

Her son studied divination and all manner of worldly knowledge, while her daughter followed him in learning medicine.

But the one with the heaviest burden was herself. She had to maintain her health and skin, and she also had to learn the arts of qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting. It was hundreds of times more exhausting than plowing fields and sowing seeds under the scorching sun.

She was already over thirty years old. Naturally, her mind couldn't keep up with young people.

Yet she never refused to learn.

She had always known that Lü Qing was a learned man, and she could vaguely sense that he looked down on her.

If she had had the time, she would have liked to learn painting and poetry herself to cultivate her temperament.

But she had been busy taking care of the household and looking after Lü Qing. Where would she have found the time to discuss poetry and paintings with him?

Who would have thought that after surviving such a calamity, she would be given a chance to change?

She vaguely understood what the Princess was thinking.

Perhaps Her Highness wanted the transformed version of her to appear before Lü Qing and leave him utterly stunned.

Maybe this was simply the hobby of a noble princess.

Moreover, her son encouraged her every day. Both children constantly praised her for becoming prettier. She also found herself having more topics to discuss with her son, which made her even more enthusiastic.

She could tell stories from ancient books to her children, and Lin Yuexiang felt that she had wasted far too many years. As a result, she studied even more diligently.

Watching the increasingly motivated family of three, Tang Guo was in an excellent mood.

Yun Buxiu still didn't understand.

Why was she so happy over the changes in these three people?

“If Your Highness is dissatisfied with Lü Qing, there are plenty of reasons to have him executed.”

Just his collusion with the Third Prince and his secret plans to rebel were enough to ensure that Lü Qing met a miserable end.

Tang Guo withdrew her gaze from Lin Yuexiang, who was practicing the qin, narrowed her eyes, and said, “Life is too long. One should find more interesting things to do. Lü Qing disgusts me too much. Simply killing him won't satisfy me.”

“And what does Your Highness consider satisfying?”

“Mmm... slowly… little by little… step by step… make him lose everything he possesses.”

Tilting her head, she smiled and continued, “Second Imperial Sister openly brings her male favorites back to the Princess Manor and dotes on them in front of him. Do you think that hurts?”

“Naturally, it hurts.”

“And then one day, the crude woman he once despised suddenly transforms into a beautiful and talented lady. He fails to recognize her and chases after her for several days without success. Only at the very end does he discover her identity. Do you think that hurts?”

Yun Buxiu's lips twitched.

Across from him, Lü Yufan, who was studying the chessboard, nearly overturned the entire board.

This Princess, after her rebirth, truly had a capricious personality. One moment she'd think of something, and the next she'd act on it.

Still, Lü Qing had only himself to blame.

Not only had he deceived her feelings, he had bitten back after benefiting from her.

Furthermore, he had killed her elder brother, caused the death of her mother, the Empress, and joined forces with the Third Prince to destroy her father.

How could she not hate such a man?

This was nothing less than a blood feud.

He also felt that merely killing Lü Qing would not be enough.

Her Highness's plan was brilliant.

Yun Buxiu was utterly dumbfounded.
