The age-defying jealousy of the Tang princess shocked the whole city

The brave princess

In the history of feudalism, women were often known for their role as housewives, lifting towels to repair bags for their husbands. But during the Tang Dynasty in China, women were not forced into harsh regulations. However, the king’s children were given priority to freely express themselves, stronger than the commoners.

Emperor Zhongzong Lee Hsien was a character who treated his daughters fairly. Not only the Princes can go out to play and hunt, but also the princess. It is because of Lee Hsien’s indulgence that all of his children are more or less stubborn.

Lee Hsien’s daughter, Nghi Thanh, is famous for being agile but the most stubborn. Having a loving father, she became even more stubborn and hot-tempered.

When Nghi Thanh got married and married Bui Ton – an official in the court, Ly Hien was still not king. Therefore, when she arrived at her husband’s house, her title was still only Nghia An, Princess. Nghi Thanh married an official with a low title because she was only a concubine’s daughter. In the feudal era, the difference between the children of the first wife and the concubine was very large. This could be the main cause of the above.

But no matter what, Nghi Thanh still has Royal blood. She is still proud and proud because her father loves her so much. Later, Lee Hsien ascended the throne. Princess Nghi Thanh was also crowned Princess Nghi Thanh.

Life at her husband’s house is also comfortable and pleasant. The princess and her husband did not come together from love, but they respected each other very much. When she is not stubborn, she is also cute and sweet, making Bui Ton also satisfied.

Because she understood that her husband was a Concubine, she did not have the right to three wives and four concubines like contemporary men, so the princess also knew how to think. She also tries to be a good wife and daughter-in-law of the Bui family.

However, this Confucius could not keep himself. It was he who contributed to the horrible jealousy scene that took place.

Caught red-handed on the spot

Although she did so many things because of her husband, Nghi Thanh discovered that Bui Ton was showing more and more strange signs. The concubine is no longer sweet and considerate as before, but instead is annoyed, dissatisfied and makes excuses to fight with her.

It is these signs that Princess Nghi Thanh suspects that her husband is cheating. The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she felt: “Bui Ton, you’re so good. How dare you treat me like that? I stay at home to follow the female rules, work in a regular manner, you dare to tease the moon outside. Your new and old thing, if I catch it, I’ll definitely let you know.”

Then she pretended to know nothing on the one hand, and secretly followed her husband on the other. The princess easily discovered that the one who ruined her happiness was the beautiful maid in the house. She caught the cheat on the spot, giving the third person a life-long lesson.

When Princess Nghi Thanh finished handling the maid, she turned to look at her husband. Bui Ton was frightened and hurriedly ran away, but still lost a lock of hair. The punishment action of Princess Nghi Thanh was recorded, causing not only her husband but many people to be afraid.

Hiding behind the servant, Bui Ton then trembled. Princess Nghi Thanh laughed and coldly said: “I want people in the world to know what good deed you have done”. After saying that, she turned away and didn’t even glance at Bui Ton once.

This action of Princess Nghi Thanh created an uproar in the whole city. At that time, the historians continuously wrote poems to ask the king to severely punish the princess. Under that pressure, Trung Tong lowered Nghi Thanh to be the district owner, that is, lower than the princess. And Bui Ton was dismissed. But soon, Bui Ton was promoted by Trung Tong to comfort him. As for Princess Nghi Thanh, it took several years to restore her old reputation.

The later life of Princess Nghi Thanh in history books is no longer recorded. Only know that until Princess Nghi Thanh died, Bui Ton was never traced to betrayal and adultery again. Perhaps after the classic punishment of that time, Bui Ton also understood his wife’s character but did not dare to betray him anymore.
