Princess He Dechang was washing her face in her palace. Her face was almost bruised and still smelled like pot water.
The emperor asked someone to send her to Mingyang Palace.
The eldest princess didn't know that the emperor had watched the whole process, so she changed her clothes and went to Mingyang Hall.
The emperor was reviewing the papers under the lamp.
As soon as He De came in, he said, "Brother Huang, why is your place so bright?"
He De looked at the light bulbs on the copper frame with flower branches and asked in surprise.
"This is a light bulb. It doesn't hurt your eyes like candles. It also saves money. Nowadays, almost all the palaces use this."
"You and the Queen Mother have been away from the palace, so I don't know. Tomorrow I will send someone to Donglong Street to buy some, and also buy some for the Queen Mother's palace."
The more He De looked at it, the more curious he became.
"Is there such a good thing for sale in the shop?"
The emperor hummed.
"Why did the emperor go to Daliushu Village?"
And Princess Tokucho...
"How does the emperor know?"
"Liu Yongxue is smart and cute, and she has the Qingguo Palace behind her. Why do you insist on saying that the child was abducted?"
The eldest princess...
The emperor’s brother doesn’t know yet?
He De said: "That child doesn't look like her mother."
The emperor slammed his pen down on the dragon table.
"You don't care whether someone looks good or not. Do you want to fool me with these words?"
The eldest princess was helpless when asked, so she had to tell the story.
Princess He Rui asked someone to come with a big cold melon.
The people in her palace not only bought cold melons today, but also potatoes and cabbage.
In addition to selling preserved eggs, the grocery store on Donglong Street now also has a vegetable stall.
Now that the grocery store has been moved to the side, the two-story building that Yue Rushuang bought is no longer in the rouge shop.
This stall is different from other vegetable stalls. It sells and explains at the same time, frying shredded potatoes, potato slices, potato stewed cabbage, stir-fried cabbage, and cold cabbage on the spot, and then allows passers-by to try them for free, and those who go out to buy from Princess Mansion will buy them. I came back with some and bought some cold melons.
There are no cold melon sellers, but you can only buy them from Daliushu Village. The other cold melons are either hollow or white or pink, and they are not tasty either.
He Rui thought of giving one to the emperor, who loved cold melon the most.
He Rui asked the young father-in-law at the door to get some ice, and then entered the Mingyang Hall.
He De just started talking at this time.
"He Rui had a child before Yuxue."
The cup in the emperor's hand almost fell to the ground.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
He De said: "Only the Queen Mother knows about this matter. The emperor brother remembers that He Rui and the Queen Mother went to live in Huangzhuang for a while. The Queen Mother said that she wanted to be clean and drove everyone back in Huangzhuang. It was during that time , and Rui gave birth to a daughter."
"Sister, be careful what you say," the emperor said angrily.
"The child had a rouge birthmark on the back of his neck, half a copper coin-shaped birthmark. The Queen Mother gave it away back then. I don't know why the child was stolen."
The emperor was so angry that his hands shook.
"Who did you listen to?"
"The Queen Mother told Aunt Ning that the child is Liu Yongxue. Doesn't that child look like He Rui?"
The emperor recalled that on the way to Quzhou, Eunuch Pan said that Liu Yongxue looked like her.
The child looks like his uncle. Could it be that Liu Yongxue was really born to He Rui?
The emperor suddenly looked at He Rui again: "Then why are you going to snatch that child?"
"How can we let that child wander outside? If I find it for He Rui, He Rui will definitely be happy."
The emperor cursed stupidly in his heart.
I really don’t know what the Queen Mother ate when she was pregnant with her, so stupid.
"Do you want to reveal this matter? How will He Rui explain it to the consort? Why do you take everything into your own hands?"
The eldest princess was not convinced.
"I'm doing this for her own good!"
"Besides, I didn't say clearly who gave birth to Liu Yongxue? Doesn't the consort not want to get her back?"
"They also said that the crown prince was thinking of the princess. It turned out that the two of them had a child before they got married."
The emperor has an angry look on his face, which is a great shame and humiliation for the royal family.
"How do you know that child is the consort's?"
"If it's the prince-consort's child, why send it away?"
The eldest princess...
"Shut your mouth," the emperor said angrily.
Originally, the emperor wanted to ask if he knew who the child's father was, but he didn't expect that He De was a fool.
The eldest princess said: "What does the emperor mean, He Rui had a man before his consort?"
"How could she do such a shameless thing?"
Outside the door, He Rui's face turned pale.
Later, she couldn't hear what the eldest princess and the emperor said.
Is that child Liu Yongxue?
He Rui could hardly believe that the child who made her sleep poorly at night was Liu Yongxue.
He Rui turned around and left, just in time to see his little father-in-law coming back with ice.
He Rui stuffed the cold melon into his hand and staggered away.
When He Rui returned to the house, he was the first to find Aunt Fang.
"Mammy, why are you so nice to Liu Yongxue?"
Aunt Fang...
"Did you see the birthmark behind Liu Yongxue's ear?"
Aunt Fang paused for a long time and sighed.
He Rui understood everything.
"Mommy clearly knows how much I miss that child, why did she hide it from me?"
Aunt Fang sighed: "What will the princess do if I tell her?"
"With the princess' temperament, are you going to cause trouble?"
He Rui flopped down on the chair.
The old grandma sighed: "Princess, don't be greedy. It's enough to know that the child is living a good life."
"There are many princesses, so I have the opportunity to promote her. Find an opportunity to recognize her as your adopted daughter. With the princess's support, the child's marriage will not go wrong in the future. Her mother is a good person, and the child is well taken care of by her."
He Rui's tears flowed down.
"After all these years, I finally have news about this child."
Grandma also cried.
"Princess is really having a hard time."
He Rui said: "When did grandma see her birthmark?"
Aunt Fang sighed and said, "There is no need to look at the birthmark. The moment I opened my eyes, I could see it. The child looks... like her father."
And Rui...
No wonder she always felt a sense of déjà vu every time she saw Liu Yongxue. Now that she thought about it, yes, that child looked like the person in her heart.
"Mommy, I want to make peace with my consort."
Aunt Fang...
"Princess, if you make up your mind, Nanny will accompany you."
"The prince-in-law is not a good man."
He Rui hugged her grandma and started crying.
Mammy patted her back and said softly: "Princess, don't be sad. This child can come to your door. Maybe one day, that person will show up too."
He Rui cried harder.
The old grandma didn’t dissuade her either.
If she doesn't let it out, I'm afraid the princess will get sick from suppressing it.
The old grandma murmured: "God, please open your eyes. How can you let her live such a miserable life? Please open your eyes."
Of the four people who fainted in the Liu family's courtyard, two woke up first, and they were the secret guards sent by Chu Ze.
"Oh no, I'm going to find someone. Go tell the master quickly."
The two of them tiptoed to the ground, and a few of them disappeared.
There were two other people on the ground, they were the generals of the eldest princess's mansion. They didn't wake up until dawn.
The two of them ran very fast and went back to report the news.
On the way from Beijing to Linjing, there is a huge town called Lilac Town.
A bearded man with a big belly led a little boy in coarse clothes and pushed open the door of a small courtyard.
"Mom...Dad, where are you?"
