Chapter 673 - 663 Female Veneration: The Great God Above! (18) More 1
Ye Mingxin had felt too suffocated and impatient for success for the better half of her life.
Provoked by Qin Xuanyun’s stimulus, she wanted to immediately prove her capabilities and to make those people eat their words.
Before leaving, the Empress had talked through the night with Ye Mingxin, instructing her on how to solidify and win over people’s hearts.
The Empress had also taught Ye Mingxin many theories on ruling, but after all, they were merely armchair strategies; Ye Mingxin encountered trouble as soon as she arrived in Jiangnan, for she, a princess, had never known hardship.
The disorder following Jiangnan’s flood left many destitute. She would not describe herself as extravagant, but she would not belittle herself either, yet the officials in Jiangnan saw things differently.
Moreover, the commands issued by the eldest princesserely rigid applications of rules, ineffective in addressing the root causes.
The officials of Jiangnan who were initially excited about the second princess’s arrival gradually lost their reverence for her.
The second princess was furious with these officials and sent many petitions to the Empress.
In the original plot, the army led by the Jun Family helped the second princess suppress the unrest, but this time, with no military force to suppress it and unable to win hearts, the second princess was even injured by the mob.
She had no choice but to be sent back to the Imperial Capital.
