The Emperor, in a fit of rage, struck with tremendous force, causing Princess Shu He to fall directly to the ground.
She covered half of her face, and without looking, it was already swollen.
"Father?" Princess Shu He looked at the Emperor incredulously, as if unable to believe that he, regardless of his status, had actually hit her!
"You, you have truly disappointed us!" The Emperor gazed at his daughter, beautiful as a flower, graceful as jade.
He had many children, over a dozen princesses alone, and among them, Princess Shu He's noble birth and outstanding beauty had always earned her his favor.
But, an Emperor's favor has its limits.
"We see now that it is our excessive favor that has spoiled you, turning you into someone who knows not the heights of the sky, nor the depths of the earth!" said the Emperor coldly as he looked at Princess Shu He.
"Do you think marrying Yunzhen was beneath him? Go ask any princess in the palace if they wouldn't wish to marry Yunzhen!"
