Chapter 273: Biological
real.
Princess Shouzhen almost couldn't breathe.
Her face turned pale. "Tell me again, who did the emperor give the phoenix crown to?!"
The young maid was actually a little afraid of Princess Shouzhen's response, but she didn't dare not answer. "The Crown Princess of Jingbei gave the Xuefu Cream to the Emperor and asked for a reward. She wanted a beautiful crown, and it happened to be included in the tribute today, so the Emperor gave it to her..."
Princess Shouzhen, “……!!!”
Princess Shouzhen was so angry that her lips turned purple.
That pink phoenix crown is hers!
Princess Shouzhen was so angry that she burst into tears. She grabbed Queen Song's hand and said, "Mother, that's mine..."
Queen Song knew about that crown half a year ago.
The people who were sent to inspect the tribute were hers. When they came back, they praised the crown as the best in the world. Not only Princess Shouzhen liked it, but she, the queen, liked it too.
It's just pink, a little too tender, and it's not suitable for her to wear at her age.
However, she was not suitable, but her daughter was. After waiting for half a year, she was finally sent to the palace. However, she was given to Shen Wan by the emperor without even taking a look at him.
It would have been fine if it was given to someone else, but it had to be given to Shen Wan. Queen Song was so angry that she breathed in more than she breathed out.
However, the emperor will not take back the things he has bestowed upon her unless the Princess Consort of Prince Jingbei voluntarily returns them.
What a great Princess Consort of Prince Jingbei!
She's against her daughter everywhere!
He was so bold that he even dared to steal her daughter's things.
Just as Chen Wan finished her lunch, the crown arrived. It was delivered by Eunuch An himself.
Looking at the crown on the tray, the maids and servants in the yard were amazed.
Not to mention them, even Chen Wan had seen her several times in her previous life and was still amazed.
The crystal clear jade crown has a seven-tailed phoenix on it. There are very few people in the palace who can wear such a phoenix crown. It is not enough for Chen Wan, the princess consort of Prince Jingbei.
But since the emperor gave it to her as a reward, she is qualified to wear it.
Chen Wan has never lacked jewelry since she was a child, except for this tiara. Every time she sees Princess Shouzhen wearing it, she envies her.
It is said that this crown took three full years to make, and even if the Yun family was as rich as a country, they could not buy it.
In the previous life, this crown was sent to the palace before the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. All the concubines and princesses in the palace wanted it. Even Princess Qiyang, the Empress Dowager's daughter, tried her best to get it for her daughter, Princess Yaoguang.
The crown remained in the emperor's hands for a month before being given to Princess Shouzhen.
Xie Jingyu asked her what she wanted, and she suddenly thought of this crown.
This was the only thing she wanted the emperor to give her.
However, Chen Wan did not hold high expectations. After all, in the previous life, so many people fought for it, and it was no exaggeration to say that they fought to the point of bloodshed. But it was not a big deal to mention it. If the emperor gave it to her, it would be a surprise. If he didn't, it would be fine.
But what Chen Wan didn't expect was that the emperor not only gave it to her, but Xie Jingyu also sent it to her right after he asked for the reward for her.
Shen Wan felt like a pie had fallen from the sky and hit her on the head.
The unreal trance was like a dream.
Shen Wan pinched herself secretly.
It hurts so much.
Really happy too.
Eunuch An laughed and said, "This tiara is meant to belong to the Crown Prince's Consort. The Crown Prince just finished asking for the reward for her, and right after that, the tiara was delivered to the palace. None of the concubines and princesses in the palace knew about it, otherwise they would have been fighting over it."
It's really no coincidence.
The coincidences that happened to Shen Wan were not coincidences.
Eunuch An delivered the reward, drank a cup of tea, and then Xie Jingyu saw him out of the house.
After they left, Shen Wan admired the crown carefully and couldn't wait to try it on.
The tiara is beautiful, but it is also very heavy. The sky blue brocade dress that Chen Wan is wearing is already beautiful enough, but the tiara makes the dress look dull.
Shen Wan stood in front of the bronze mirror. Seeing Xie Jingyu walk in, Shen Wan turned sideways and asked him, "Does it look good?"
Xie Jingyu came over and put his arm around Chen Wan's waist, "My wife looks good in anything she wears."
Shen Wan, “…”
So corny.
Shen Wan touched the crown and said, "The emperor actually gave it to me as a reward."
“It was indeed a bit unexpected.”
Such a crown is priceless and it is a tribute that has just been sent to the palace. Generally, the emperor would not give it as a reward easily.
But he always had a feeling that the emperor would grant Shen Wan's every request.
The news that the emperor had rewarded Chen Wan with a rare and precious crown spread throughout the Jingbei Palace and reached the ears of Song Nanyan, Xie Zhihuan, Xie Zhirou and others.
The princess punished them by making them kneel in the Buddhist temple for two days. Their knees were red and swollen and they couldn't get out of bed.
Xie Zhihuan and Xie Zhirou didn't know how beautiful the crown was, but Song Nanyue heard from Princess Shouzhen that the emperor had given Chen Wan something that even she didn't dare to hope for.
This time they really shot themselves in the foot.
Shen Wan's face was scratched and a red mark appeared, which was not even a superficial injury. Princess Shouzhen hit her head and lost her crown. They were severely punished by the princess!
The more Song Nanyue thought about it, the angrier she became.
After wearing the crown for a while, Chen Wan's neck felt a little sore, so she asked Yinchuan to take it off for her.
Even though Chen Wan could support such a beautiful crown on her neck, she didn't dare to wear it outside because it was too ostentatious.
In her previous life, when Princess Shouzhen wore it, many people envied and envied her. If she wanted to wear it out, she would have to be careful with her steps at all times so as not to be tripped by others.
But even if you don't wear it out, it's good to have it. It can definitely be called a rare treasure.
Chen Wan couldn't take his eyes off the one he liked.
A whistle was heard outside the window. Xie Jingyu frowned and got up to go to the study.
As he walked in, Chen Ping came to meet him. Xie Jingyu asked, "I asked you to escort Eunuch An back to the palace. Why are you back so soon?"
Chen Ping said, "Something happened..."
"On the way back to the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion from the military camp, a couple rushed out and blocked his way. They claimed to be the Crown Princess's biological parents and demanded that he return her to them..."
Xie Jingyu's brows were twisted into knots.
Chen Ping continued, "Duke Dingguo was furious and ordered the City Patrol to summon the Dali Temple and interrogate the couple in public, asking who had instructed them to come before him and speak nonsense."
The streets were blocked and Eunuch An could not return to the palace. In addition, this matter was of great importance, so Eunuch An wanted to stay and watch the excitement. So Chen Ping came back to report to Xie Jingyu.
Although Chen Wan knew that she was not his biological son, Chen Ping did not dare to report it in front of her. This would only dampen the Princess's enthusiasm. So he sent a secret sentry to call Xie Jingyu to the study and report it again.
Xie Jingyu didn't expect Shen Ji to be so angry. Instead of taking the man to the Dali Temple, he interrogated him in the street.
Tomorrow the censors will jointly impeach him for abusing his power as a Duke.
However, Xie Jingyu knew that Shen Ji's action was not impulsive, but to protect Shen Wan.
Only by exposing the couple in public can the rumor that Shen Wan is not his biological child be suppressed. If he is taken to the Dali Temple, it will inevitably spread widely.
Back on the street, Shen Ji was riding on horseback, his face as cold as if covered with frost.
The couple knelt on the ground, looking as if they would not get up forever unless Shen Ji returned their daughter to them.
The City Patrol Officer was trying to clear the road according to his duty, but he was stopped by a look from Shen Ji. The murderous aura gained from the battlefield was not something the City Patrol Officer could resist.
The Dali Temple Minister quickly brought people over.
Knowing that Shen Ji wanted him to try the case in public, the Dali Temple official advised, "If you try the case in the street, the censor will impeach you tomorrow. It's better to go to the Dali Temple..."
"Judge me right here!"
"The Imperial Censor has impeached me, and I, Shen Ji, will personally accept the punishment from the Emperor!"
