Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Chapter 170 Summer Insects

Cheng An "bared her teeth" and looked like a vicious princess.

Everyone's moral bottom line is different. Based on Jiang Feng's understanding of Cheng An, that bottom line should not be high.

Besides, everything is going wrong for her now, so she is not in a position to do anything.

As expected, when Princess Cheng'an saw Jiang Feng bowing to her, she said viciously, "It's been a long time since we last met, and now you are even more proud."

Jiang Feng still felt sorry for himself and said, "Proud? How can I be proud of my current situation?"

Cheng An looked up with his nose in the air, snorted coldly, and said, "Have you forgotten the scene when you first came to Chang'an? People were like grass, and killing you at that time was just like stepping on an ant. I only regret that I was too soft-hearted at that time."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Compared to that time, it is indeed a little better. At least I don't have to worry about my life all the time."

Cheng An snorted again with disdain.

Jiang Feng knew that the grudge between her and Cheng An was actually caused by Shen Guxing.

Although Cheng An is no longer as threatening as before, Jiang Feng still knows a little about her crazy nature.

Even if you are no longer afraid of her, there is no need to attract hatred.

Then he changed the subject, and said with a hint of melancholy, "But I am not as happy as I was then."

Princess Cheng'an said sarcastically, "Your family has made great contributions to the emperor, and the men have been promoted to higher positions, and the women have been married into the East Palace or the royal palace. What else do you want?"

Jiang Feng asked: "When the late emperor was alive, the princess was a royal concubine, extremely noble, were you happy then?"

Princess Cheng An was speechless for a moment. She had never thought about that question. Her biological mother was just an ordinary maid in the harem and had no status. She had a hard life as a child. When she grew up, she began to learn to please Wei and Anle, and only then did she have the dignity of a princess.

Those were also years of trembling with fear and constant worry.

That's why she longed to marry Shen Guxing.

Partly because she fell in love with Shen Guxing at first sight, and partly because she wanted to escape from the palace.

She remembered that she first met Shen Guxing at the Jinshi Hairpin Banquet that year.

A handsome and elegant young man, unparalleled in the world.

She fell in love with him immediately.

Not only her, the scene of Shen Guxing picking flowers and composing poems became the boudoir dream of all the girls at the flower-pinning banquet.

She thought that with her looks and status, she would definitely get what she wanted.

In that way, she could escape from Empress Wei's control, break free from Anle's tyranny, and live a happy second half of her life.

However, all of these were destroyed by Jiang Feng.

The instigator actually dared to ask her!

She said viciously, "It was precisely because I was unhappy that I grabbed Yi Ye, like a lifeline. But you ruined it all!"

Since it involves Shen Guxing, things will be easy to deal with next.

Jiang Feng said: "The princess thought I was humble and weak when I first came to Chang'an, but that was the happiest time of my life. The princess fell in love with Yi Ye, and I loved him just as much. But in the end..."

Jiang Feng paused for a moment and said, "But in the end, like the princess, I did not get a good result."

Princess Cheng An was still arrogant: "Are you worthy enough to compete with me?!"

Jiang Feng said: "Our status and position may not be comparable! But our feelings are equally sincere and pure, and we cannot tell which is better or worse, or which is more expensive or cheaper."

Although Princess Cheng'an still thinks that Jiang Feng is vulgar and unworthy of Shen Guxing, she has to admit that it is very common for people in this world to take beautiful things for themselves.

Jiang Feng continued, "But there are also differences between me and the princess."

Princess Cheng'an frowned, and fine wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.

"The princess couldn't get what she wanted, so she put all the blame on me. She tossed and turned day and night because of this, always trying to make things difficult for me. She even hoped that I would be doomed or even die immediately before she would be satisfied." Jiang Feng added.

This was exactly what Cheng An was thinking. She said, "You are quite self-aware. When we were at Taiye Lake, I once said that I wanted to throw you into a brothel. Although Prince Xue failed to hide you, over the past year, even if I thought about your fate, I could still feel at ease for a while."

What this means is: It's like putting a little doll to curse you. Princess Cheng'an indulges in sexual fantasies every day, so throwing her into a brothel can comfort her soul.

Jiang Feng felt a chill down his spine, but he continued his topic: "Even if the princess fantasizes like this every day, she can't let it go. Even if I really end up in that situation, will the princess be happy?"

Princess Cheng An suddenly burst into laughter, then moved closer to Jiang Feng and said grimly, "Why don't you try it?"

Jiang Feng was stunned.

It's quite difficult to convince her!

Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "I have never had anything I wanted since I was a child. Everything depends on myself! Therefore, I never rely on others for my happiness. If others have a tragic fate, I gain nothing; if others live a happy life, I lose nothing. The princess lost Yi Ye and thought I got him. But I lost Yi Ye, but it was only me who lost him, and it had nothing to do with others. I will not resent others, but don't expect me to spend any more time on him!"

This time it was Cheng An's turn to be stunned.

Jiang Feng said, "Shen Guxing and I no longer have any ties, so princess, please don't waste your energy on me! If you still have feelings for him, go and think about how to get him back! If you don't have the courage, just let him go and live your own life, isn't that good!"

It's so boring to bother myself like this.

However, summer insects only live for one season, so discussing freezing with them is like talking to a cow.

Jiang Feng talked for a long time, but Cheng An was sad and said, "I know I can't get him back, but I can't let him go in my heart."

Then he looked at Jiang Feng meaningfully and said, "So, I can only make things difficult for you."

Jiang Feng was stunned! He asked helplessly: "What do you want?"

Cheng An smiled strangely and said, "I've already told you."

Jiang Feng recalled the conversation between the two, which involved what Cheng An wanted to do to her, that is, he wanted to throw her into a brothel.

Jiang Feng looked around alertly, and fortunately, everyone on the mountain was from the Eastern Palace.

She calmed down a little and said, "I advise you to think twice. You know, I am not a little girl who can be manipulated by others. And you are not a princess who can do whatever you want!"

Cheng An said: "Yes, I am now just a princess in name only. I have no power, no status, no father, no mother, no children, no heirs. I really have no worries. If I can sacrifice my life and property to get what I want, it would be great!"

Jiang Feng's alarm bells rang loudly, and he said, "Everyone here is the prince's people. My sister is praying to the Buddha inside. You must not seek death!"

Cheng An laughed and said, "You are so naive and cute sometimes. If she can hurt you once, why can't she hurt you a second time?"
