Jealousy was the enemy.
That was what her parents always said when they were alive. They rarely lectured her at the same time, but Xia Qiao remembered that the way they usually advised her about jealousy was similar to each other.
Her father often said that someone jealous was actually a weak person because they could only feel jealous instead of trying to be on the same level as the person who made them jealous.
Meanwhile, her mother told her that feelings of jealousy would only discourage her when she could be better than the people she was jealous of.
However, Xia Qiao had never felt jealous for real. She was the Imperial Princess, and she had everything she needed. If anything, then It was other people who might be envious of her because she had such a perfect life four years ago.
