It turned out that the eldest prince and the third prince had finished their lessons and were strolling in the Imperial Garden with their companions when they unexpectedly bumped into Xingxing and her group.
Xingxing didn't have a deep impression of the two princes, after all, their mothers and the empress didn't have a good relationship. Apart from necessary greetings and gatherings at palace banquets, they rarely interacted.
Xingxing had naturally seen them before, but she was kidnapped at the age of four and lived outside for two years, so she didn't recognize people very well now, only feeling that the two looked somewhat familiar.
The mothers of the eldest prince and the third prince were cousins, and their maternal clans were quite powerful. Both princes' mothers were favored, so they also held high positions in the palace.
Upon seeing the long-lost eldest princess strolling in the imperial garden with a group of wild boys who appeared out of nowhere, the two princes decided to cause trouble.
Xingxing wasn't afraid of them, but considering that the Fu brothers would feel uncomfortable, she instinctively wanted to avoid them. If they came up to talk to her, she would inevitably be met with a barrage of sarcastic remarks. Since the princes were of high status, the Fu brothers would have to bow to them, so it was better not to get together.
However, the other party deliberately made things difficult for them. They tried to leave but were blocked from their way. The First Prince swept his scrutinizing gaze over Xingxing and the others, finally fixing his gaze on the white-robed youth.
Zhu Lin lifted her eyelids to look back. Her overly cold gaze carried a powerful sense of oppression, causing the Crown Prince to instinctively want to look away and dare not meet her eyes again.
But he quickly realized that this was the palace, and he was the eldest prince. Why should he fear an outsider whose identity he didn't know? It was the other party who should fear him.
The eldest prince frowned, glaring at the white-robed youth with a sinister look. Unfortunately, Zhu Lin remained calm, though his eyes held a hint of coldness, as if he didn't take the eldest prince seriously at all.
Realizing this, the eldest prince's face grew even uglier. Disdaining to get entangled with these people himself, he gave a wink, signaling his attendant to step forward and cause trouble.
Unexpectedly, the Third Prince couldn't hold back and spoke first.
"I just heard from my mother yesterday that my younger sister has been found. The one before was a fake, and the one found now is the real one. It's really hard to tell which one is real and which one is fake. To me, they look the same. They have the same face, the same age and height. Who knows which one is real and which one is fake?"
This implies that even stars could be counterfeit.
"Are you the Third Prince Wang Mian?" Xingxing's tone was certain. She vaguely remembered that the Third Prince was a bit stupid and always liked to cause trouble. Looking at him, it seemed that this person was all body and no brains.
The Third Prince said with a half-smile, "It seems you've investigated the identities of everyone in the palace very thoroughly, recognizing me at a glance."
"Who do you think you are? You think you can expect me, the princess, to send someone to investigate you? Humph, I only came here because I saw that you are just as stupid as you were two years ago and haven't improved much."
After quickly finishing her retort, Xingxing continued, "What you just said was a mix of truth and falsehood. How dare you question Father's decision? You wait, I'll sue Father right now."
There's not much to say to this kind of troublemaker. Just sue him first, otherwise you'll just give him another chance to humiliate Brother Fu.
The Third Prince's expression changed, and he stepped forward to pull Xingxing away, preventing her from complaining. There were four princes and three princesses in the palace, including Xingxing. Apart from Xingxing, the other princes and princesses were terrified of the Emperor, like mice before a cat.
