In the depths of the bustling court, the eldest princess Li Rong unexpectedly received a special gift from Pei Wenxuan - a painting. The design of the painting is ingenious and unique, with a delicate portrait of Li Rong on one side and a blooming rose on the other. However, what really shocked and annoyed Li Rong was the inscription on the painting - "Aged Peony".
Li Rong, as an 18-year-old eldest princess, is young and beautiful, and in her prime. The four characters "aged peony", in the context of Chinese, carry a hint of ridicule and disparagement, as if to imply that she is no longer a blooming flower, but an aged peony that has begun to wither. This sudden offense made Li Rong's anger explode instantly.
Pei Wenxuan, a court figure with a bold personality and uninhibited behavior, dared to tease the eldest princess in such a way in front of everyone, which undoubtedly showed his unique courage and personality. However, this kind of ridicule is an intolerable offense to Li Rong. She picked up the items in front of the table and wanted to throw them at Pei Wenxuan to vent her anger.
This event is not just a simple joke or prank, it is a reflection of the character and status of the two protagonists. Li Rong's anger and Pei Wenxuan's audacity were fully demonstrated at this moment. And this painting also became a turning point in their relationship, making their relationship more complex and subtle.
