He Should Try to Curry Favor (Part Four)
After the wedding between Kun YuYang and uncle Ning, sure enough, they enjoyed a harmonious and loving marriage.

On the other hand, the situation between Princess DanYang and Yin Shuo became Emperor Ning’s second-biggest headache after the cabinet.

On the third day after getting married, when the wife returned to the palace to visit family, Princess DanYang complained about how small and rundown the prime minister’s manor was in front of every member of the inner palace.

She wanted Emperor Ning to have a princess’ manor built for her and allow her to live in the princess’ manor like the princesses of the past.

Emperor Ning angrily scolded her, “The princesses of the past had their own manors because they lived during times of peace! Look after Eastern Ling’s current war situation. There’s not even enough money for the war effort, so how could there be any money left to be spent on constructing a princess’ manor?”

There was not enough money, yet money was being sent to Marquis Gu’s Manor every day.

In the past, Gu HuaiJiang was the only one being rewarded. He was a great general with many military accomplishments, so it was normal for him to have earned Emperor Ning’s favor. Now, there was also Yu Fu, who was also receiving an endless stream of rewards.

As for her, the princess born of the empress, she had been pushed off to the side. She could not even have a manor of her own!

Returning from the palace, Princess DanYang was filled with pent-up anger, thus every aspect of the prime minister’s manor looked even more displeasing.

“Where is my husband?”

“Replying to princess, he is taking care of work in the outer study. Do you need this servant to pass along a message?”

As a palace maid who was part of the dowry, she followed Princess DanYang and married into the prime minister’s manor, moving into one of the manor’s best courtyards, the Eastern Courtyard.

But no matter how good the Eastern Courtyard was, it could not compare with the manor’s main courtyard. That was where the proper masters of the manor would reside.

Princess DanYang lazily waved her hand and sat in front of the dresser, “There’s no need. I get annoyed just from looking at him.”

Dian’er hesitated for a moment before picking up the comb and brushing her hair.

“If you have something to say, just say it. With the prime minister’s manor as it is, this One doesn’t even have someone to speak to. If even you won’t speak, would this One not die of boredom?”

“Yes, princess.”

Dian’er considered her words, “On the day of the wedding, princess used the excuse of not feeling well to not allow master to come and visit, and master went along with princess’ wishes. But on the second day, the bridal sheet was sent into the palace. Imperial Consort Xian and the others know that princess did not consummate the marriage, so who knows how they’re mocking princess!”

Not to mention others mocking her, even Dian’er and the nannies that had accompanied her out of the palace felt that this was improper.

No matter how noble a lady was, once they were married, they needed to consummate the marriage; otherwise, what sort of situation would that be?

No matter how much she disliked Yin Shuo, she was already married to him. Could it be that she still wanted to preserve herself for someone else?

Princess DanYang observed herself in the mirror and felt that her expression was getting uglier and uglier the more she listened. She was just barely able to force a smile at herself in the mirror, “They can mock me as they please. This One does not plan to refuse to consummate the marriage with Yin Shuo forever. It’s just that this One does not like him. He needs to curry favor with me first for me to agree.”

Dian’er was quietly anxious, “But master looks to be without desire. These days, with princess not looking for him, he does not even set foot in the Eastern Courtyard. Does it look like he intends to curry favor with princess?”

What if Yin Shuo never came to curry favor with Princess DanYang? Would she not end up alone for the rest of her life?

Dian’er felt afraid just thinking about it. Looking at the mirror, the smile that Princess DanYang was forcing also drooped.

If Yin Shuo came to curry favor with her, she would fiercely humiliate him, but if Yin Shuo did not come to curry favor with her, her heart felt a little empty.

He should come to win her over.

In the end, a girl is prettiest when she’s smiling.

For some reason, Dian’er suddenly thought of this before quickly shaking her head to rid herself of these wild thoughts.

Princess DanYang suddenly said: “Then send someone to call Yin JiYao over. I recall that she is still unmarried and has a frail body. It has been many days since my arrival in the manor, yet she still hasn’t come to properly greet me. We might even be able to learn something from her.”

Dian’er had a troubled expression, “Has princess forgotten? Young miss Yin’s forehead was wounded, and the wound has not healed, so she cannot see anyone. Now that it has gotten hot, I heard that her wound has still not healed. It would be best to not frighten princess.”

“Nonsense!”

Princess DanYang swept her makeup onto the floor, “Yin Shuo is the prime minister and can’t come to visit this One because of his work, but does Yin JiYao also have such a grand stature? What wound can’t heal after such a long time? Could the Yin family be so poor that it can’t even afford medicine? Go. Just say that this princess is inviting her. I want to see if she dares to refuse!”

When Yin JiYao arrived before Princess DanYang, she could not help but feel a little regretful, subconsciously covering her nose with a handkerchief.

Yin JiYao weakly stepped forward and performed a salute. On her beautiful face was an ashen grey wound that was shocking to see. It did not fit at all with her white skin.

“How, how did your wound end up like this? If there are any difficulties, I can send for an imperial physician to treat you.”

Yin JiYao faintly smiled, “Many thanks, princess, for the concern, but I am fine. It has been extremely hot recently, and the conditions have not been suitable for it to scab over, so it ended up like this. As a result, I have not been able to come and pay respects to princess and hope that princess will forgive me.”

Princess DanYang waved her hand, “Forget it, forget it. With you as you are, how do you plan to pay your respects? It would be best to go back and rest. Dian’er, send some of the birdnest that I brought with me out of the palace to young miss Yin to help her recover.”

“Yes, princess.”

Yin JiYao saluted once more, “Many thanks, princess.”

After she left, Princess DanYang finally remembered that she had called Yin JiYao here to try and look for trouble. How did she end up giving her something?

Forget it. For a girl’s face to have such a serious wound, it was probable that it would never heal properly. Yin JiYao was so pitiful that she could not bring herself to trouble her any further.

After much thought, Princess DanYang finally relented, “Go to the outer study and see what my husband is doing.”

Author’s note: Yes, disfigured.

Do you still remember what Yin Shuo said on the day of the wedding? He said that if that Yin JiYao’s wound did not heal, there was no need for it to ever heal…
