"Being a princess consort really isn't easy. When officials take concubines, concubines are just that, concubines. The wife of the house can deal with them as long as she holds the upper hand. But a side consort is different, they come with a title and a decree from the imperial family. If you, as the princess consort, encounter a troublesome one, it becomes a lifelong issue. You can't beat them or scold them, and when they are an eyesore, you're helpless."
"If you can stop it, stop it. If you can't, then at least make sure someone enters through your door who is of your own choosing."
"There's always a way out, but it's wrong to be blindly obedient."
Tu Jingjia returned to the prince's mansion with a head full of thoughts, dismissed everyone, and quietly pondered.
Right or wrong no longer mattered, the important question was whether she wanted to live a comfortable life like the Crown Princess and Princess Rong, or continue living life as it was now.
