Xiang Ying frowned.
"Your father should know that Xining likes martial arts, why give her a sword that looks good but is useless?"
Xiyue smiled, not sure if it was Xiang Ying's misconception, but her eyes were full of mockery.
"No reason, because this is what he hopes. As a father, he always boasts about how excellent his princes are, but as an Emperor, he cannot accept that his daughter is more accomplished in both literature and martial arts than his sons."
"My sister... she suffered a lot to stick to her own path."
Xiang Ying was a bit puzzled by her tone.
Princess Xiyue seemed to have a good relationship with Xining, so why would she marry the son of Gao Liang?
"Do you know how your sister died?"
"I know," Xiyue replied calmly, "Gao Liang told me after returning to the Capital. My sister had a strong personality and refused to be abducted by bandits, so she killed herself."
