Chapter 67: I had no idea that my guess was a million miles away from the truth

No, it's not possible.

Shen Liuzheng shook his head and denied his guess.

She is now a meritorious official of Da Xia. The emperor has announced her identity in public, and it is obvious that he still has room for her and will not take action against her.

This time, maybe it's just a simple welcoming party.

After finishing her makeup and dressing, as the banquet was approaching, Shen Liuzheng went to Weiyang Palace holding her daughter in one hand.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Her Majesty." Shen Liuzheng brought her daughter to pay her respects to the two of them.

"My beloved concubine, please stand up." Lu Yanshi motioned for her to sit down and asked about what happened on the battlefield.

[Hey, how come these two sisters look exactly the same? ]

Lu Li poked her little head out of Xia Shuyi's arms and looked at the twin princesses, the fifth and sixth, curiously.

"Who is talking?" Lu Qiongying blurted out.

Lu Qionghua tugged at her sister's sleeve, signaling her not to talk nonsense so as not to upset her father and the empress.

Lu Yanshi was talking to Shen Liuzheng, and he didn't hear what she was saying, so he looked over.

"Xiao Liu, what are you talking about?"

"Father, I'm not a younger sister, I'm Xiaowu, Qiongying." Lu Qiongying spoke aggrievedly.

"The royal sister said that the ninth sister is very pretty." Lu Qionghua was a smart girl and quickly explained for her reckless sister.

She knew that her father loved her ninth sister the most, so it was right to praise her.

[Hehehe, Sixth Princess has really good taste. I also think I am good-looking. ]

Lu Li laughed.

Lu Qiongying's eyes widened, and Lu Qionghua grabbed her hand, not allowing her to speak nonsense.

Before you get to the bottom of things, you'll be wrong.

Lu Yanshi coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment of having just recognized the wrong daughter, and laughed: "Xiaojiu is indeed as beautiful as her mother. But Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, you are also very good-looking, and your beauty is different from Xiaojiu's."

Lu Yanshi’s main focus is to treat everyone equally.

They are all his daughters, and they are all pretty.

It’s just that Xiaojiu is particularly good-looking.

"Ah, so you are the Sixth Princess." Lu Heng on the side widened his eyes.

Hearing this, Lu Yanshi was satisfied. It seemed that he was not the only one who couldn't tell the two daughters apart.

[My brother is so stupid. The one with a mole on the left ear is the elder sister, and the one without a mole is the younger sister.]

Lu Li could tell the difference between the two at a glance.

Lu Heng felt a little aggrieved after being scolded by his sister for being stupid again.

How could he observe so carefully? He would be scolded if he kept staring at the imperial sister for no reason.

Lu Yanshi pursed his lips. What should he do? He felt like he was being scolded too.

He silently glanced at Lu Qiongying's ears and remembered them.

I will use this to distinguish next time.

Shen Liuzheng wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. She smiled and gave them a step.

"The older these two children grow, the more they look alike. Sometimes I can't tell which one is the older and which one is the younger. I only know that the older one is more naughty and willful, while the younger one is more stable."

"Mother, I am obviously very obedient." Lu Qiongying pouted and retorted.

"My daughter is a little naughty and willful, but that's nothing." Lu Yanshi smiled, changed the subject, and motioned for them to start eating.

The children finished their meal quickly.

Lu Heng said, "Father, Mother, I will take my ninth sister out to help digest the food."

This is Lu Li's habit. Every day after dinner, she has to go out for a walk. She says it's to help digestion, but in reality, she just can't sit still and wants to go out for fun.

"Go ahead." Lu Yanshi still had something to say to Shen Liuzheng, but it was inconvenient for the child to listen, so it was just right for him to leave.

"Let's go too!" Lu Qiongying stood up.

Since her sister had gone, Lu Qionghua had no choice but to follow.

If she didn't follow, she didn't know what kind of trouble her sister would get into.

[Brother, I want to go see Yuangungun. ]

Lu Li became excited as soon as she left Weiyang Palace.

"What is Yuangungun?" Lu Qiongying asked.

Lu Heng's face changed, and he immediately realized that the fifth sister could also hear the ninth sister's thoughts.

[Hey, why did the fifth sister suddenly ask about Yuangungun? Did anyone tell her? ]

Lu Li was a little confused for a moment.

Lu Heng said hurriedly, "Fifth sister, have you forgotten? I told you last time. The iron-eating beast in the beast park is round and plump, so I named it Yuangungun. I plan to take Xiaojiu to see it now."

"You..." Lu Qiongying was about to say something, but Lu Qionghua pulled her.

Lu Qiongying immediately shut up obediently.

Every time before she gets into trouble, her sister will pull her back, and as long as she listens to her sister, she won't make any mistakes.

[As expected of my royal brother, he thinks exactly the same as I do! 】

【Yuangungun is such a fitting name. 】

[But my brother seems a little bit stupid. Will I become stupid like him? ]

Lu Li fell into self-doubt.

Lu Heng's face suddenly fell.

He seemed to understand why his father had mixed feelings about his ninth sister. Her mouth was so infuriating that it could kill him.

"Sister Lu Ran, you take Ninth Sister to the Beast Garden first. I'll take Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister to get some apples, and then we'll go together to feed Yuan Gun Gun dinner." Lu Heng handed Lu Li to the maid.

[Brother, don’t forget mine. I want an apple too!]

Lu Li waved her hands in Lu Ran's arms and called out, "Guo Guo, Guo Guo."

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it. As soon as he did, Lu Heng's face turned even darker.

Ever since she grew teeth, Lu Li has been curious about everything.

The last time she ate an apple, she took a bite and only scraped off a little bit of the apple skin, then passed it to Yuanrunrun. As a result, Yuanrunrun swallowed most of the apple in one gulp.

Lu Li was so angry that he cried and wanted to snatch it back to continue eating. If he hadn't discovered it in time, who knows how much of the iron-eating beast's saliva Ninth Sister would have eaten.

Lu Heng pretended not to hear anything and dragged his two sisters back.

After arriving at a quiet place, Lu Heng asked his men to guard outside, and asked Lu Qiongying and Lu Qionghua to send all the maids away.

Only then did he speak.

"Fifth sister, Sixth sister, can you also hear what Xiaojiu is thinking?"

"You mean, what we just heard was Xiaojiu's inner voice?" Lu Qiongying's eyes were as big as copper bells, and his mouth was opened so wide in surprise that Lu Heng felt like he could fit his fist in it.

"Yes." He nodded.

"Don't mention the things you heard in front of Xiaojiu, or she won't tell the truth in the future."

Lu Qiongying and Lu Qionghua both agreed obediently.

"Also, the emperor should have heard it as well. You must not let anything slip. The emperor certainly doesn't want anyone else to know about this." Lu Heng was afraid that they might cause trouble, so he quickly gave the instructions.

At this moment, Lu Heng seemed more like a brother.

Lu Qionghua thought for a moment and asked, "Can everyone hear Xiaojiu's thoughts?"

"No." Lu Heng shook his head.

"The palace maids and eunuchs couldn't hear it. From what I observed, it seems that apart from my father, mother, and me, you two were the only ones who could hear it."

Lu Qiongying and Lu Qionghua were very surprised.

What, are they so related to Ninth Sister?

"Maybe twins are different, so you have special abilities and can hear Xiaojiu's thoughts." Lu Heng analyzed seriously.

He had no idea that his guess was a million miles away from the truth.
