三十八 Becoming the third prince's consort

In the whole time she spent in her yard, the MoMo that the third prince placed in the Meng estate to teach her the rules and etiquette of the palace, she has never stepped out of the residence.

She was never allowed to in fear that she will leave even though she has thought of it a million times. Added to that was the security of the mansion, it has doubled and became strict that all she needed to do was to lift her hands and someone will tend to her needs and desire.

If it was before she would have enjoyed it but considering they were all doing this because she was off to be married to the third bastard, stalker prince she just wishes for things to turn back.

"Lady Meng, a princess must not bend her back, straighten up!"

Shit. I was hit by the came again, it didn't injure me badly but ur does sting like a painful burn.

"I am just thinking, it won't happen again"

"It is alright, Lady Meng, but once you are inside the third prince's residence you must always look dignified and act with elegance. You, Lady Meng, are now in the same boat with the Third prince"

Yeah right, like she would want to be in the same boat as him, she would rather jump out and swam into the opposite river.

"I understand"

Soon the lesson ended and the strict MoMo retreated to her chambers; XiXi who was already pouting in anger came into her room and wiped her stinging legs.

"Thank you, XiXi"

"Miss, we should tell the third prince about how much of a strict and controlling woman that MoMo is! Look at your legs! It's lashed with red streaks!"

"No need for that"

Handling such measly beatings like this is easy for her after all she has been beaten worse, by her biological parents of all people.

Besides the third prince doesn't have his biological mother anymore. According to the MoMo the third prince's mother, Consort Liang, was a beauty and from a renowned scholar family and impressed the emperor with her skills in creating poems. But then she died after an epidemic that has spread into the Han continent and even the Mongols and other tribes have suffered casualties over it.

Only after 3 years did the Emperor finally summon the third prince after imprisoning him with the pitiful Consort Liang who has been afflicted with the disease.

XiXi bend down and carefully applied ointment to her legs and then blow on it making her giggle. "Miss!"

"Alright, alright, let her be. They're just afraid that someone like me could become a deserving consort for their highness, the third prince"

Don't get her started with the various unnecessary lessons that were given to her— with such limited time and continue their passive-aggressive stunts.

"Miss, will you be okay? Should we just esc-"

"We can't, XiXi, I've already decided" there's no turning back when the Emperor gives a decree.

If it was her from before, the one that has just entered this world then she would have left without the guilt weighing on her. 

If she did leave then the Meng clan would be punished, the innocent Rui Rui and the loving Ban Rushi would suffer. Besides as a woman she will not even survive this patriarchal world, becoming a nun is not in her plans nor pretending to be a man will do.

If she did successfully leave then the people she cares for, she can't believe she said those words; Meng Jia Yi, the woman in the modern world who only cared for herself and if by she did care for someone she will not still sacrifice for them.
