Chu Siqing was getting older, and as soon as she learned to walk, she would pester Princess Yu to take her out to play all day long.
Before, she was tired of seeing the royal palace in addition to the palace. She still felt that the outside world was relatively novel.
After wandering around the streets, Princess Yu sometimes took her to burn incense in temples or Taoist temples.
Chu Siqing once curiously asked Princess Yu in her heart: "Concubine, do you believe in Taoism or Buddhism?" Why do you want to worship both? 】
Princess Yu said: "Actually, I don't believe anyone. I mainly take you to enjoy the scenery. Burning incense is just a way of doing it."
Chu Siqing couldn't help but give a thumbs up: [Concubine, you are so wise, the performances of those Taoist priests and monks are just a cover-up! 】
They had seen Taoist priests perform some so-called Taoist skills on the spot, such as boiling oil to make money, breaking baskets to lift water, lamp smoke turning snakes, etc., there were all kinds of things.
At that time, the people who were watching believed it to be true and donated money to burn incense. I don’t know how much they were deceived.
Princess Yu smiled and said, "Although I can't understand those techniques, I also know a truth."
"If those monks and Taoists were really capable, they wouldn't keep asking people to donate money for incense."
Chu Siqing was very impressed.
You must know that in ancient times, when scientific knowledge was not yet popular, few people could remain rational when seeing those magical phenomena.
Most people would think that these monks and Taoist priests have extraordinary abilities, and even treat them as guests.
Princess Duan Min is one of them.
On this day, Chu Siqing and Princess Yu went to the Queen Mother's Palace and met the princess who praised the Taoist priest to heaven.
Princess Duan Min is the second daughter of Emperor Chu Ming. She has been married for more than three years and only recently gave birth to a son.
Queen Mother Pei asked: "Duan Min, does that Taoist priest really have such ability?"
Princess Duan Min nodded: "Royal Grandmother, it's true."
With a smile on her face, she said, "I have been married to my consort for two years, but we have never been pregnant. I was very worried, and the Taoist priest came."
"The Taoist priest said that I was originally destined to have no children, so I needed a woman with a special destiny to complement me. If the consort had a child after he accepted her, I would also have a child."
"I originally planned to keep a concubine for my concubine, so I simply found an orphan girl with that kind of fate. Later, she and I became pregnant one after another."
Queen Mother Pei always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain it for a while.
Princess Yu also felt strange.
Chu Siqing was sitting in Princess Yu's arms, having fun with the system.
[Atong, check it out for me, what is going on? 】
After checking the system, he told her about the melon.
While Chu Siqing listened, she exclaimed in her heart: [What! This Taoist priest is a quack warlock specially found by the Second Prince Consort, and he comes here to deceive Princess Duan Min on purpose? 】
Princess Duan Min finished speaking in one breath. She felt a little thirsty and picked up the tea to drink. Unexpectedly, she suddenly heard the milky sound in her ears.
Who is speaking?
He actually said that the prince-in-law was specifically looking for someone to lie to him?
Her husband-in-law has always been very affectionate with her, but this person dared to slander her husband-in-law in front of her. It was simply too much!
Princess Duan Min's beautiful eyes widened, she looked around, and finally turned her gaze to Chu Siqing.
Was it her cousin who was talking just now?
But this little baby obviously can't speak yet. Could it be the voice from his heart?
Princess Duan Min knew that Uncle Yu's daughter had been named the Great Chu Saint, but she had never had close contact with Chu Siqing before, so she was a little surprised and confused for a moment.
Chu Siqing was eating melon when she suddenly felt that Princess Duan Min was staring at her, and she couldn't help but feel strange.
[Oh, my cousin is really unlucky too. 】
Only then did Princess Duan Min confirm that the milky voice was indeed the voice of her cousin.
She opened her mouth to speak: "Royal grandmother, Siqing..."
Princess Duan Min wanted to ask about Xinsheng, but she couldn't say the next words.
Queen Mother Pei nodded and winked at her again.
Princess Yu also had a knowing look on her face and smoothed things over by saying, "Princess, do you want to take a look at Siqing?"
Only then did Princess Duan Min realize that maybe the Royal Grandmother and the others knew about it, and the Saint's innermost thoughts could not be leaked out.
She quickly echoed: "Yes, Auntie, I just want to have a baby girl as cute as Siqing."
Princess Yu hugged her daughter and came over to show Princess Duan Min.
As soon as Princess Duan Min touched her cousin's chubby hand, she heard her voice again.
[Cousin, that orphan girl is the old sweetheart of the second prince-in-law. He deliberately set up this trap just to make you willingly accept her into the house! 】
[You were childless for the past two years, all because your consort took the drug used by men to avoid children, so that you felt guilty! 】
Princess Duan Min was stunned when she heard this.
How is this possible?
The prince-in-law has always been devoted to her, and she had mentioned taking concubines before, but the prince-in-law never agreed!
But the cousin's inner voice about having a nose and eyes doesn't seem to be false.
She had asked the imperial doctor to look at her before, and they all said there was nothing wrong with it. But if the problem lies with the Prince Consort, it’s not impossible...
Queen Mother Pei and Princess Yu ate a big melon, looked at each other, and continued to listen in silence.
Chu Siqing held Princess Duan Min's finger and wanted to tell her the truth immediately, but she didn't know that her voice had already been heard by her.
[As soon as his old sweetheart came in, the consort immediately stopped taking the medicine, so you were both pregnant. 】
[A while ago, you and the orphan girl gave birth to each other, and the prince-in-law actually exchanged your biological daughter for his and the orphan girl's son! 】
[The red mole on your daughter’s arm is exactly the same as yours. This is evidence of child exchange! 】
Hearing "The civet cat exchanges for the prince", everyone's expressions were shocked!
It was enough for the prince-in-law to use some means to get a concubine, but he actually confused the royal bloodline. This was a serious crime!
Princess Duan Min was horrified when she heard this, and she wished she could find out the matter immediately!
She barely kept her cool when she heard other things, but knowing that her biological daughter had been replaced by the consort, Princess Duan Min's heart suddenly ached terribly!
She looked down and saw her cousin holding her finger, her eyes full of worry, and she knew that everything her cousin was saying was true!
For more than a year, she had always thought that she and her consort Qinse were in harmony, but she never expected that the person next to her was actually very ambitious!
He and other people's sons were enjoying the honor of being the princess's son, but her own daughter didn't know how harshly she would be treated!
But why is this all happening? !
In the beginning, it was the consort who proposed to marry her, and she thought they were in love. Could it be that this was all a lie?
Princess Duan Min felt that she couldn't figure it out.
Chu Siqing was already in the system and understood the ins and outs of the melon.
[The second son-in-law is from Changninghou's stepmother. He is incompetent in literature and martial arts. He is far inferior to the eldest brother in front of him. The stepmother also wanted her own son to inherit the title, so she thought of the master's method. 】
[The second prince-in-law had always liked the girl who lived across the street when he was young. Later, the girl went to work as an official in another place with her father. The two were separated and her mother forced him to do so, so he had no choice but to please the princess. 】
Princess Duan Min's eyes were cold. Only then did she realize that the beginning of all this was the Prince Consort's plan!
