This Scholar Chen wants to re-enter officialdom, but that will never happen.
It is said that since Nangong Yi issued this edict, Prince Consort Chen became disheartened, indulging in alcohol and women all day, even venting his anger on Princess Zhao Hua and rarely visiting her courtyard. He openly maintained many gaudily dressed concubines and treated Princess Zhao Hua with no respect. If not for her identity as the Eldest Princess, he might have started abusing her long ago.
However, the cold violence isn't much better than abuse.
"We are all family, no need for formalities, please rise, Eldest Princess."
Cai Wei spoke politely while taking a seat on the throne in the hall, then had Princess Zhao Hua sit down as well, laughed and said, "I heard before that the Eldest Princess doesn't like socializing, but now it seems to be a falsely spread rumor. The Eldest Princess has participated in all the recent events inside the Palace. How could it be said she isn't good at socializing?"
