He (Philip the Handsome) wasn’t satisfied with proclaiming that the Queen, my daughter and his wife is mad, and sending us letters about such matter, now I have also learned that he has her in Flanders as her prey, deprived of all her liberty. He doesn’t allow any of her Spanish servants to see or serve her,  instead he has replaced them with his Flemish ones. And thus, her life being in so much danger may God protect her for you already see how I feel about this whole ordeal and why I have to conceal my feelings to avoid putting her in more danger.

The letter from Ferdinand II of Aragon <<The Catholic>> to Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba <<The Great Captain>> most likely the year 1504/1505

Many thanks to @minervacasterly for the help with the translation!!!!

"You’re a princess but can actually start a fire to boil water." "My mother was made a palace maid only after she died. Winters in Jiangnan can be freezing cold. As an unloved princess, if I hadn’t learned to do these things, I would’ve long died."

"When I was young I often ate cold pancakes too. You had a father who was the emperor but I didn’t even have a father."

"If Master knew I used her Qingyun Sword to cut a taro root, what would she think ?" "She wouldn’t mind. This sword is called Qingyun ?" "What’s wrong ?" "I knew someone whose name was also Qingyun."

"Do women have to conform to the stereotype that expects us to stick to one man no matter what kind of person he is ? Besides, Yuan Lu and I were not in the kind of relationship you think."

Tips from Xanxia leading men:

Ye Hua: When the lady you fancy jokes that you marry her as payment, say yes in a heartbeat.

Zhangsun Wuji: When you meet and spar with the most interesting lass you’ve ever met in your whole virgin life, pursue her flirtlessly until she becomes yours…also ask her to marry you as payment.
