It’s explained better in the novel. I think that you can understand his actions more if you read the novel because it is much more detailed. Song Lingxin is not just annoying but also betrayed the Wang Ye in their past life and she was also the cause of a lot of bad things that happened to the wang ye and wang fei. I think it’s also because of the time period where, let’s be honest, wives relied on the favor of their husbands. It’s not acceptable in this day and age but his actions were true to his time.

it is totally wrong to do that with your first concubine. The prince is known for being violent, so it has something to do with his personality. Even though she is a bad person (as all the women in this novel because the author hates women) she doesnt deserve this treatment.
The wrong here are the people who thinks that she deserved ans it was good "the bitch was slapped".

huge spoiler
But Ruoiy its not the topic
she is the exception
I dont even want to mention the poor first prince concubine
she is going to be absoluted wronged and discarted just for the sake of the empress to be a man
"she's being unresonable, lets change her for a man."
If they want to take my baby away to be adopted for my brother in law
bitch
I have all the reason to be unresonable.

"(as all the women in this novel because the author hates women)"
You stated this instead of saying in your opinion, do you have solid proofs to back up your accusation? Cuz that's some strong accusation.
Mu Hanzhang mother is a woman and she isn't bad, the Hao Dao general's wife is a woman and mhz adores her strong personality... All the bad women and men in the story Jing Shao gets revenge on all have legitimate story of why JS treated them that way and if JS was really bad personality, he wud find fault at everything Song Lingxin did and punish her for doing nothing! But no. He only punished her when she acted improperly in her etiquette, a side consort confronting wangye and wangfei in a rude way.
Jing Shao isn't a white-lotus MC, he's portrayed as a realistic human who held grudges and so what? When reading a historical ancient monarchy setting, you won't get anywhere with your modern western mindset really...but accusing an author like that is very rude when she prolly knows better about the culture of that time and just tried to be realistic about the plot. A lot of bad ppl in the story are men

Lu Ye Qian He is known for being misoginist, racist and xenophobic
Im not stating something without known
I like the story, but she really portrait the hate she had for women (and if you read the coments for her work always will have people criticing her for that) in her work
read the chapters again everytime a women appears and see what she said about them, its uncofortable and desnecessary.
I though they will soft this on the comic, but aparrently not
(read the coments in the comic, theres a lot complain about this, Im not stating this alone
(and do not put the historical card here because this is not a historical comic, if it was the prince will never meddle the house affairs like this)
Ok thats nice, that bitch gets what she deserve but i think being slapped with your husband is too much. I mean we should respect girls, yeah i get it, she is annoying, a sore eyes but no matter how annoying girls is, a man, as much as possible should not result to violence.. Right?
