Chapter 228 True and False Princess

"An Xiaorou is born with a noble and talented person, and she is deeply in love with you. If you reject her, don't you regret it?" Yingluo asked in her eyes.

Xiao Yuanhao looked focused, with joy in his eyes, and said solemnly: "I don't regret it."

"Even if they will find out my identity and make it public?" Yingluo asked back.

Xiao Yuanhao curled his lips and smiled carelessly, but the smile was full of momentum, "So what?" After that, he slowly stood up, walked to Yingluo, and looked into her eyes gently, "Ying'er, I want to tell you that I am happy with you, so my wife will only be you. As for the ones next to you, don't worry, I'm here."

Yingluo looked at Xiao Yuanhao, and a little confused slowly appeared in her eyes, a feeling that she couldn't even explain.

After a long time, Xiao Yuanhao smiled slightly, "I will arrange everything in three months."

It is March, and spring is getting warmer. It is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom. The emperor's dragon body is already much healthier. Therefore, Shangguan Defei specially prepared a blessing banquet in the imperial garden, inviting all the princes, princesses and princesses to come to enjoy the flowers and feast.

The newly built garden is built according to the height of the terrain, with pavilions and towers scattered in height, birds chirping, fish leaping up rivers and ponds, wine is prepared, laughter and joy are flying, and the fairyland on earth is nothing more than that.

Yingluo's identity today is completely different from the past. She is the emperor's personal title of Princess Huaiyue, and the qualifying princess who has not passed by King Jinxi. She is simply a model of sparrow flying on the branches and turning into a phoenix, so she was very eye-catching at today's banquet.

Under the peach blossom tree, Xiao Yuexi walked to Yingluo with a wine glass, and a glimmer flashed across the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, saying, "I haven't congratulated the princess and Yuanhao for finally getting married."

Yingluo looked at Xiao Yuexi's slightly sad eyes and could only smile lightly, "Thank you, Princess Yuexi."

Xiao Yuexi smiled faintly on her lips, "How sincere is Princess Huaiyue agreeing to marry Yuanhao?"

"Yinger doesn't understand what the princess said," Yingluo raised her eyebrows gently.

Xiao Yuexi's red lips curled up a sarcastic curve and said lightly: "Do you know how sad and sad Cousin Hengzhi is? On the day when the father's marriage was issued, Cousin Hengzhi relapsed after his old illness and is still in bed and recuperating. Princess Huaiyue, I don't care what your purpose is to climb to the royal family, but how can you bear to ignore his true feelings for you so much?"

Yingluo was a little surprised when she heard this, "Mr. Xie is sick?"

Xiao Yuexi smiled coldly and frowned and said, "Look, you don't even know that he is sick, but he is still worried about you day and night."

Yingluo lowered her eyes and slowly breathed, "Princess Yuexi, Mr. Xie is my friend, this has never changed. Apart from that, I can't give him anything. If I accept his affection against my will, it will be a lifelong torture for him or me. Princess Yuexi is also a person who is trapped in love, so why don't she understand this principle?"

Xiao Yuexi's eyes were slightly red, "I'm really worth it for Hengzhi's cousin."

"Aunt Yuexi, what are you talking to my princess?" Xiao Yuanhao's voice came from behind.

Xiao Yuexi was stunned. He turned around and saw Xiao Yuanhao with a faint expression. He nippled and said, "It's nothing, I'll congratulate Princess Huaiyue. Since I have finished congratulations, I'll go back to the table first."

After Xiao Yuexi left, Xiao Yuanhao walked forward with gentle and firm eyes. He gently held Yingluo's hand, "Thank you."

"What do you thank me?" Yingluo asked in confusion.

Xiao Yuanhao just smiled.

Today, a play about the real and fake uncle is being staged on the stage, and everyone is also intoxicated by the view.

While peeling the oranges for Shangguan Defei, Princess Zhao said with a smile: "Empress, this short story is the most popular script recently, and the plot is bizarre and interesting."

Shangguan Defei raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh? I want to see what an interesting method is."

On the stage, Qingyi, who played the imperial concubine, met her brother who had been separated for many years. It was so heartwarming that the sadness and joy were touching.

While wiping tears, Shangguan Defei asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what's going on behind this?"

A cold light flashed slightly in Princess Zhao's eyes, and she chuckled, "The Empress Dowager doesn't know that the younger brother of the imperial concubine is not real at all, but the good brother of the real uncle when he was in the folk. Their relationship is very close, so they are very familiar with the life and past of the uncle. The imperial concubine wanted to find relatives, and the emperor issued the edicts, and all states began to look for her younger brother. The fake uncle tricked the real uncle to a place where no one was killed. After getting the token, he deliberately went to the government and said that he remembered that there was an older sister in his family who had been wandering since childhood and was unknown. The government took him to the capital for careful investigation, and his age and hometown were all about the same. The imperial concubine believed it and asked the emperor to

He was enthroned by his official residence. When this fake uncle was doing something interesting, the real uncle who escaped from the heavens suddenly came to the Jingzhao Yamen to beat the drum and complained about his grievances, saying that she had just said that the concubine's younger brother was a fake who was a murderer! After some investigation, the fake uncle was arrested and imprisoned. He pretended to be a relative of the royal family and said that he was guilty of deceiving the king. In anger, the fake uncle was sentenced to be beheaded. The real uncle naturally recognized the concubine and was named the imperial concubine and was awarded tens of thousands of dollars. Once he changed from a deceased to a royal family and literati, it was a model of turning a pheasant into a phoenix." For some reason, when she said "a pheasant turns a phoenix", she glanced at the direction of Yingluo.

"This story of the true and false uncle is really eye-opening." Xiao Ningxin vaguely saw a clue in her ears and a smile on her face.

Princess Zhao sneered in her heart, and a cloud appeared on her face. She said in a voice that seemed unintentional but could be heard by everyone: "Empress, tell me, if someone pretends to be a royal relative like this fake uncle and deceives the emperor, what should he do?"

Concubine Shangguan De glanced at Princess Zhao, then at the emperor next to her, and an intriguing expression appeared in her eyes. She frowned and said, "Why are you, a child, so unpredictable, asking such a question? This is naturally a sin of beheading."

The emperor looked at Princess Zhao coldly, and the smile on his face slowly subsided.

A trace of ominous premonition suddenly flashed in Xiao Tianming's heart, and he yelled in a hurry: "Princess, enough!"

Princess Zhao sneered and looked back at him. It was a provocative look, as if saying: "Don't worry, you'll have a good show soon!"

Suddenly, Princess Zhao stood up suddenly and walked to the emperor slowly. Yingying knelt down, her face was anxious and uneasy: "Father, please forgive me for being rude. It's because there is a huge thing today. I want to report to my father in person."

The emperor looked at her and frowned and said, "Oh? What's the matter?"

"Father, before my son said that, I want to ask my father to see someone first." Princess Zhao said with a serious expression.

The emperor was stunned and had to say, "I agree."

At this time, the two guards tied a scarf and covered their faces with a hunched woman. When the woman saw the nobles sitting in front of her, she was so scared that her calves were trembling. She hurriedly knelt on the ground, her head pressed against the ground, and stuttered: "I'm so proud of His Majesty the Emperor, long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long."

Seeing this, the emperor asked Princess Zhao in confusion, "Who is this?"

A smile slowly appeared on Princess Zhao's red lips: "Father, let's talk about this person's identity."

When the woman heard Princess Zhao say this, she slowly looked up and untied the scarf on her face. "Reply to all the nobles, I... no, I am Jin Lan, the boss of Zui Menglou, Langzhou." Her voice trembled faintly, and the skin on her face was shaking constantly.

"Zui Meng Tower? What is that place?" Shangguan Defei asked with a raised eyebrows.

Princess Zhao smiled even deeper, and her eyes could not hide her pride: "When I go back to the queen, this Zui Meng Tower was one of the top brothels in Langzhou City back then."

Seeing the performance of these two people, Yingluo was calm on her face, but she sneered in her heart, "Jinlan, you have been there. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The emperor couldn't help frowning, his voice with a hint of anger, "Princess Zhao, what do you mean?"

Princess Zhao looked up and said with a serious expression: "Father, please calm down. Father, you don't know anything. A few days ago, I met this woman by chance. She claimed to be a old acquaintance of Princess Huaiyue. She wanted to join the princess, but the princess pretended not to know her and drove her out of the house. The princess was confused in her heart. After careful interrogation, she realized that this woman was not an ordinary woman at all, but an old brothel. What surprised me even more was that the person she wanted to join was not a golden branch or a jade leaf, but a person who leaned on the building to laugh. My son knew that this matter was of great importance and had to report it to my father today, so as not to be confused by this woman and disrupt the royal bloodline." Princess Zhao looked in Yingluo's direction, and her tone became colder.

Xiao Tianming's hand was almost clenched with bloody marks under the table, his face turned blue, and he was almost so angry that he vomited blood. Does this idiot know what she was doing!

Jin Lan looked in the direction of Princess Zhao, and indeed saw the little bitch she cursed in her heart day and night and wanted to drink blood and eat meat. Now she has a noble status, but she is old and yellow, and she has nothing. Jin Lan almost bit the few teeth left in her mouth to pieces.

Although Jin Lan was in a down-and-out position, she was born in a fun and her acting skills were still first-class. Jin Lan raised her voice and shouted in surprise at Yingluo: "Yinluo, you have made me feel so hard for you!"

Everyone present was shocked, what was the matter with daughter and mother.

Xiao Yuanhao stared at Princess Zhao and Jin Lan coldly, his quiet face looked unmoved at all, and his expression was calm and relaxed. Xiao Tianyu, who was beside him, looked at Yingluo with some concern and then looked back at Xiao Yuanhao. Seeing that both of them were calm and calm, they did not see any panic, and knew in their hearts that he was really worried. So he poured a glass of wine and started the show.

In an uproar, everyone's eyes shot towards Yingluo, and even Princess Huai couldn't help but be shocked.

The emperor's face turned cold and he said sternly: "Princess Zhao, do you know what you are talking about?"

Princess Zhao knelt down on the ground and said earnestly: "Father, I know that my father loves Princess Huaiyue, but I don't want to see someone who uses any means to deceive you for glory and wealth! This woman is not real Zhen Ying'er at all, but Yinluo, the top courtesan of Zui Menglou! She impersonates the real Miss Zhen to come to Kyoto and carefully design step by step, and from a lowly brothel woman almost becomes your granddaughter-in-law! This is a ulterior motive and indiscriminate plot! I beg my father to observe clearly!"

Jin Lan also quickly lay down to the ground, and said tremblingly, "Yes, Your Majesty, everything I say is true! This Yinluo is indeed the most popular girl in my Zui Meng Building, but she is vicious and has the support of Master Xie. In order to revenge, I don't want her to leave, so I burned my Zui Meng Building in the middle of the night, which ruined my family's belongings for half a lifetime. Such a poisonous woman would not admit her mistake even if she turned into a gray slave."

After hearing this, the emperor turned his gaze back to Yingluo. He wanted to see something from her face, but found that Yingluo's face was calm and calm, as if the madam's identification had nothing to do with her. Looking at Yingluo's beautiful and delicate eyebrows, the emperor was unwilling to admit the madam's words from the bottom of his heart, but with Princess Zhao on the side supporting him, the emperor also became suspicious.

Princess Huai was angry and angry, pointing at Princess Zhao and shouting: "Princess Zhao, I don't care why you brought this person to the palace today. I only know that Ying'er is talented and beautiful, has a gentle character, and is a good daughter with a innocent life. If you want to slander her, you are slandering me!"

Princess Zhao's eyebrows were slightly clumped, "Princess, I know you finally had a daughter, but you must not bring everyone home."

Xiao Ningxin gently pulled Princess Huai's sleeve, worried: "Mother, don't express your opinion until the matter is clear."

Princess Huai glanced at her, unable to hide her disappointed expression in her eyes. Then she pulled out her sleeves in the other party's surprised eyes little by little, looked straight ahead, and her tone was extremely calm: "Your Majesty, Princess Zhao just pulls someone and comes to the imperial front to point out Ying'er as a fake substitute, which is too much to deceive others. I hope Your Majesty will make the decision for my mother and daughter."

Amid the whispering doubts, Yingluo spoke in a long voice, "Princess Zhao, I don't know why you hate me so much, and I don't hesitate to fabricate a madam to ruin my reputation and spread my identity. Ying'er grew up in Dongyang Mansion with her parents. She had never been to Langzhou at all, and she didn't know Zui Menglou. But speaking of this madam, one thing that is true. I am indeed familiar with Mr. Xie, who is only because I am the daughter of his old friend, so she cares for me. I don't know what Princess Zhao is trying to involve him, so what is the purpose of?"

Princess Zhao sneered, "You are still quibbling. A brothel woman dared to pretend to be a daughter of the official family so boldly, and became the adopted daughter of the Huai Palace in an open manner, and even deceived her father. This is simply a mess! Women like you should be cut into pieces to serve as a warning!" After that, she turned to face the emperor and reported, "Father, my son has physical evidence to prove it. Jinlan, you said."

"Yinluo had made a living in Zui Meng Tower before, and we all needed to have a body test. Zhen Yinluo had a red birthmark in the shape of a peach petal on her left chest. As long as she proved that she had this birthmark on her body, it would prove that what I said was true." Jin Lan said with confidence.

"Bang", Xiao Yuanhao's wine glass fell heavily on the table, and his voice said coldly: "Rareless! She is the wife of this king who has not passed through the door. Do you take me seriously if you do this?"

Yingluo lowered her eyes and a calm sneer on her face. Once Jinlan confirmed that the people in Zui Meng Building were like telling everyone that they were not a lady of the Zhen family, but a brothel woman with a low status. The reason why the emperor treated herself so well was all because of this identity. If she was not, it would be an unforgivable sin to deceive the emperor. Jinlan should have been eradicated at that time and should not have left her life.

"Your Majesty, in order to block Youyou's mouth and to show my innocence, Ying'er is willing to test herself to prove her innocence." Yingluo walked out and Yingying knelt down.

"Since Princess Huaiyue is so sensible, Your Majesty, I think she should test her body." Shangguan Defei looked at the emperor and said softly.

The emperor frowned, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Thank you for your kindness. However, since I promised to prove my innocence, I beg Your Majesty to make a judgment on me and Princess Zhao later. If the facts prove that I am a fake, Ying'er is willing to bear the punishment of being cut into pieces, but if it is proved that Princess Zhao colluded with others to bite and slander me, Princess Zhao, would you also be willing to be punished with such severe punishment?" Yingluo looked at Princess Zhao's face as she spoke, with deep mockery.

Princess Zhao was stunned, but then raised her head gently and snorted coldly with the expression of winning, "Overbial power."

"Come here, take Princess Huaiyue to the back hall." As soon as Concubine Shangguan De finished speaking, he saw several nannies coming in and walking to Yingluo. Yingluo stood up gently and slowly walked towards the back hall with the two nannies. While passing by Jinlan, Yingluo glanced at her coldly, and Jinlan couldn't help but tremble.

While waiting for the results to come out, everyone in the imperial garden was whispering, some were worried, some were gloating, and some were gloating. In short, the atmosphere was silent and extremely awkward.

After a while, one of the nannies walked to the front of the emperor and knelt down and reported: "Reply to the words of Your Majesty and the Empress, the old slave has already tested Princess Huaiyue's body. The princess's body is as white as jade, and there is no so-called birthmark."

Princess Zhao's face turned pale. Unexpectedly, the result would be like this. She hurriedly shouted, "What? This is impossible!" After that, she turned her head and glared at Jin Lan, gritting her teeth and said, "Didn't you say she has a birthmark with confidence? How could it not be?"

Jin Lan shook like a sieve, her nose and tears flowed, and she kowtowed to the emperor and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare your life! Yes... it is Princess Zhao. It is because of the power of Princess Zhao that the slave has to agree to come here to identify the princess. Your Majesty, please spare your life, please spare your life!"

As she spoke, she kowtowed desperately on the ground, feeling extremely regretful that she had promised Princess Zhao to come to the imperial court to identify her. She had known for a long time that this dead girl was very capable and would not have been dragged into the water so easily. Now, she might not be able to save her life in this case. She was so innocent that she could only blame Princess Zhao for a gamble.

The emperor's eyebrows were full of anger: "Princess Zhao, what else do you have to say now?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Princess Zhao, her face turned from white to green, and from green to black. She quickly knelt down on the ground and said in tears: "Father, my son is wronged. My son was deceived by this foolish woman, so she accidentally slandered Princess Huaiyue in a moment of confusion. She begged her father to forgive me."

Princess Huai looked at her coldly: "Princess Zhao, you are also a woman. How important is a woman's reputation? You are so slandering and turning black and white, which will ruin the life of a woman. Your Majesty, my wife asks you to uphold justice for my daughter."

"Princess Zhao, the truth has been revealed. Please ask the princess to fulfill your bet." Yingluo walked out of the back of the palace and said lightly.

Princess Zhao's face turned pale, and in desperation, she could only turn her attention to Shangguan Defei.

Shangguan Defei's eyes were cold, but she cursed a fool in her heart. But now, she couldn't ignore her. After all, this pawn still has the need to exist. "Your Majesty, Princess Zhao and Princess Huaiyue have no grudges in the past and have no grudges recently, and they will not target the princess for no reason. I believe that she was also for the sake of Your Majesty not to be deceived, so she recklessly believed the slander and did this confused thing. I beg Your Majesty to give Princess Zhao a lighter punishment for the sake of Your Highness Zhao."

"King Zhao, she is your princess, what do you say?" the emperor suddenly asked Xiao Tianming.

Xiao Tianming stood up, calmed his anger, bowed and said, "Father, I believe the princess is also confused for a while. I hope my father can remember her first offense and be gentle."

The emperor looked at the people who were kneeling down, and after thinking for a moment, he said coldly: "Since Concubine De and King Zhao both pleaded for you, I will give them face and save you from your death penalty. However, Princess Zhao's words are mean and unrighteous, and she is really not worthy of being the prince's concubine. From today on, she will be placed in the side concubine and will be closed to the door to think about her mistakes to observe the future. As for this tricky woman, she will immediately drag her into the Criminal Department and get killed by her tongue-pulling stick!"

Jin Lan was so scared that she was suddenly dissipated. She didn't know whether to beg for mercy or curse. When she was dragged away, she kept shouting: "Your Majesty, please spare your life... I'm wrong... Yinluo, you bitch, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost... Ah, please spare your life..."

Jin Lan's mouth was blocked, and the Imperial Garden returned to silence. At this time, everyone's eyes were all focused on Princess Zhao.

The emperor looked at Princess Zhao who was motionless and raised his eyebrows coldly: "Princess Zhao, why don't you thank me?"

Princess Zhao's white face trembled slightly, and her hands subconsciously scratched her cheeks, and finally kowtowed, "Thank you, Father, for your kindness."

"Go down." The emperor waved his hand and said impatiently.

"Yes." Princess Zhao resisted the numb knees and was about to get up when she heard a terrified scream from the mouth of the person sitting closest to her, "Ah-- Monster"!
