Chapter 6

Back to the point, my friends. Although Princess Anping grew up in Fenghuan Palace, there is no doubt that she was raised very well.

This was mainly thanks to Aunt Qiu.

Before Anping’s Imperial Consort Mother entered the palace to become Queen, Aunt Qiu was already the governess by her side.

Unfortunately, much like this long-dilapidated palace, they had all seen better days, only to eventually wither and fall into ruin.

Princess Anping is very kind and sensible; she has never been cynical about her circumstances.

However, she does have a flaw.

That flaw is her cowardly nature-she is, quite frankly, a bit of a pushover.

I once heard Xiao Lan mention that before Anping’s Imperial Consort Mother threw herself into the well, she had tried to secure a way out for her daughter.

The Deposed Queen knew her son’s death was suspicious, and having lost all her bargaining chips, she had been utterly defeated.

So, she told Princess Anping: “After I die, you will have a chance to see your Royal Father. When that time comes, you must cling to him and cry. Tell him that your Imperial Consort Mother went mad, that you are very scared, and that you miss him dearly.

“Anping, you will have a new Imperial Consort Mother in the future. Once you leave this place, forget everything!

“I don’t need you to do anything else. You only need to protect yourself and live a good life!”

In her despair, the Deposed Queen had seen through the hearts of men and grown completely weary of the struggle. Yet, while plotting a path for her daughter, she never considered whether the young princess could actually withstand such upheaval.

Clearly, Anping didn’t have the mettle for it.

When she stood before King Liang, she was simply paralyzed with fear.

People often say that success is hard to achieve but easy to ruin, and opportunities are hard to come by but easy to lose. Even as a mere toad, I can’t help but sigh for Anping.

However, as a clever toad, Little Frog here doesn’t believe Anping’s life will end within the walls of Fenghuan Palace.

After all, I once said to Xiao Lan-

In the affairs of the world, the end is never truly certain; a toad with ambition is the one most likely to succeed!

Therefore, Princess Anping’s luck is about to change.

Because-

She has a toad now!
