Chapter 196 The Fake Daughter of the Imperial Palace 2
Xiao Shuhui held her head high especially, not caring where she was at all, and leaned forward, wanting only to see how beautiful this famous princess was.
She had also read the poem about beauty. In her opinion, there was no one in the world who could look like that. Even if she was really as beautiful as a fairy, it wouldn't be that exaggerated.
The spoiled little girl secretly complained in her heart:
I'm afraid that the young scholar wanted to curry favor with the royal family and get ahead by flattering them, so he exaggerated the figures many times on purpose?
As the sedan chair approached, the figure was still hazy and her face could not be seen clearly. One could only vaguely see that she was leaning against something and seemed to be holding something in her hand.
It’s square, maybe it’s a book?
Xiao Shuhui squinted her eyes and looked at him. Her body, which was originally half-bent over and kneeling, straightened up involuntarily, making her stand out among the crowd of people who were all lowering their heads and looking submissive.
Nanny Wei, who was walking beside the sedan chair, took a glimpse and couldn't help but frowned. She swept her eyes across the group of people and then she remembered that today was the day when the new batch of beauties would enter the palace.
She swallowed the scolding that was about to come out of her mouth and looked at Xiao Shuhui deeply, as if she wanted to memorize her face carefully in her heart.
You are so disrespectful to the princess that you don't deserve to stay in the palace.
Nanny Wei didn't want to argue with a little concubine in front of so many people and demote the princess for no reason.
Who would have thought that someone would want to use them to get rid of a powerful enemy.
Xiao Shuhui not only has a powerful father, but she is also very beautiful. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely be able to enter the palace.
There was a beautiful girl in the crowd with her eyebrows lowered. She raised her hand quickly and seemed to throw something.
Xiao Shuhui felt a sudden itch on her neck. She scratched it instinctively, but she felt something soft and slippery that was still moving...
The incident happened almost in the blink of an eye.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were walking near the concubines saw a girl in pink clothes suddenly jump out from a group of gorgeous girls, screaming and waving her hands in the air.
“Ahhhh, someone, someone, take that thing off my neck!”
Everyone was startled. The eight eunuchs carrying the sedan chair stopped subconsciously, and the sedan chair shook.
Wei Mama immediately shouted, "Be steady, be careful not to let the princess fall or none of you will survive!"
The eunuchs' faces turned pale with fear, but they dared not move, for fear of disturbing the beautiful woman inside again.
"Mammy, what's wrong?"
Suddenly, a graceful and melodious female voice was heard from behind the veil, as clear and pleasant as the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, or like the gurgling of flowing water.
The lingering sound was so mesmerizing that it instantly calmed the panicked crowd and made them quiet again.
Only Xiao Shuhui, who was frightened by the scene she imagined, was still screaming. She forgot that she was now in a heavily guarded palace and that the people around her were completely different from the people who served her at home.
In extreme panic, her true nature was exposed:
"They are all dead, why don't you come and help me, do you want to be beaten?"
Xiao Shuzhen was really going to be pissed off by this careless cousin. She took two steps on her knees, grabbed the hem of Xiao Shuhui's skirt, and tugged at it fiercely:
"Stop messing around and kneel down!"
Xiao Shuhui was so scared, panicked, and angry that she couldn't listen to other people's advice. She kicked him almost reflexively:
"Who do you think you are to teach me a lesson?"
In fact, she didn't notice who was talking, but even if she noticed, she probably wouldn't care.
Xiao Shuzhen was never in her eyes. So what if she was her cousin? She was still a blood-sucking worm sucking her father's blood!
Xiao Shuzhen was caught off guard and was kicked right in the heart, causing her body to curl up in pain.
As a spoiled rich girl, Xiao Shuhui's kick wasn't actually very powerful, but!
The spot that was kicked was particularly coincidental, which happened to be the softest and most difficult part of the body.
Girls aged fifteen or sixteen are in the growth spurt, and they feel pain from time to time. They dare not touch themselves easily, let alone being kicked like this.
That's really painful.
But I am too embarrassed to even talk about this kind of place, let alone let a doctor see it.
If other people knew about this, she would just hang herself.
At this moment, Xiao Shuzhen really wanted to eat Xiao Shuhui, a waste who was incapable of doing anything but always causing trouble. If she caused her to be eliminated before the primary election, she would never let her go!
Madam Liang, who was in charge of the concubines, frowned and waved to the palace maids beside her: "Hurry up and hold her down!"
If the princess was disturbed, the emperor and empress would be furious, and no one could bear the consequences.
Nanny Wei withdrew her gaze calmly, moved closer to the sedan chair, and whispered:
"Your Highness, it's a concubine."
"oh?"
The person inside seemed to be intrigued by these two words. He slowly sat up straight, and then a delicate hand slowly lifted the veil in front of the sedan.
Hidden behind the white veil, a beautiful face was revealed.
The delicate forehead and high eyebrows are brushed with indigo, and there seems to be a touch of mountain color between the eyebrows. The bright eyes are charming and shining, and the slight blink of an eye is full of light.
There are ripples in the tender eyes and in the blooming flowers, all rippling with is an intoxicating charm and spirit.
Her cloud-like hair was tied up and casually pinned with a pearl hairpin, and the same earrings hung on her small and delicate earlobes.
The figure swayed, and the earrings fluttered gently, making her creamy skin look even whiter and more flawless.
The bright pearls are haloed and the beautiful jades are shining.
The cherry lips under the straight nose seem to contain red rosy, plump and beautiful.
She was wearing a light yellow dress with a wide skirt that flowed behind her. She had a slender and graceful figure, and her waist was as thin as flowing silk and could be held in one hand.
There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent. One look from her can overwhelm the whole city, another look can overwhelm the whole country. Would you rather not know that she can overwhelm the whole city and the whole country? It is hard to find such a beauty again!
Pan Yuyao looked at the person not far away, lost in thought. When she first read the poem, she just felt that she didn't understand it.
How beautiful does one have to be to achieve such an effect? In order to get her, one is willing to sacrifice the city and the country.
But now she suddenly understood that there really were people like this who could make people crazy about them just by meeting them once.
The scene was silent and everyone was stunned and speechless. Even Xiao Shuhui, who was pinned to her knees by several powerful palace maids, seemed to have a blocked throat and could not make any sound.
Su Youran had a faint smile on her face as she glanced gently at the beauties. Everyone whose eyes met hers couldn't help but feel their hearts tremble. They quickly lowered their heads, no longer daring to look directly at her face.
"It turned out to be Madam Liang."
Liang Yu kowtowed again hurriedly: "Greetings, Your Highness. May Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
"No need to be polite."
Su Youran pointed at Xiao Shuhui who was being held down. “What’s wrong with her?”
Liang Yu placed his left hand on the back of his right hand, raised it to the level of his eyebrows, and bent it over:
"Perhaps I did not examine her carefully when she entered the palace, allowing her to enter the palace with illness, which disturbed Your Highness. I deserve to die."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuzhen, whose chest pain had finally gotten better, clenched her hands into fists. Entering the palace while sick?
How could a person with physical defects be allowed to stay in the palace? He must be moved out of the palace.
If you lose the election for this reason, it will probably be difficult for you to get married in the future...
Xiao Shuzhen lowered her head even more. This cousin was already an abandoned child. She just hoped that she would not be implicated.
On the other hand, she couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy. Her cousin had ruined her own future, and no one else was to blame. So, the family should fully support her, right?
Xiao Shuzhen knew that with her uncle's ability, he must have made arrangements in the palace in advance. Now that Xiao Shuhui didn't need it, could he give it to her?
In this unfamiliar palace, even if there is only one available connection, it would be a great help to her.
Xiao Shuzhen was nervous and happy, while Xiao Shuhui was shocked and extremely angry.
What did this old witch say? That she is sick?
How outrageous!
Xiao Shuhui was pinned down and unable to move, and was about to start cursing, but someone behind her covered her mouth with a hand, and another person pressed down hard on the back of her head, causing her face to almost touch the ground.
“Hmm…”
Xiao Shuhui struggled constantly, but it was of no use. A palace maid had already moved her body imperceptibly and completely blocked her behind her.
From Su Youran’s perspective, all she could see were the backs of people kneeling down.
"Your Highness."
Nanny Wei stepped forward and said softly, "The Emperor is still waiting for you. Don't delay any longer."
She nodded indifferently, and finally glanced in the direction of the concubine, lowered the veil, and leaned back:
"Then let's go."
The sedan chair continued to move forward, and judging from the direction it was heading, it should be heading towards the Hanyuan Hall where the emperor handled state affairs.
Liang Yu waited until the sedan chair was almost out of sight before he slowly stood up and waved to the palace maid who was holding Xiao Shuhui.
The palace servants quickly took her to the other side, cooperating with each other tacitly without making any sound, as if they had done this thousands of times.
Seeing this action, the other concubines couldn't help but shudder. They no longer dared to look at each other casually or whisper to each other. They silently followed Liang Yu towards Chuxiu Palace.
The initial excitement had long since disappeared, and what lingered in his heart now was only the uneasiness about the future and the fear of the palace.
Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. The imperial family is the most ruthless and it's really no joke.
Meanwhile, just as Su Youran was being helped down from the sedan chair by Nanny Wei, she heard angry curses coming from Hanyuan Hall:
"If you can't even handle such a small matter, what else can I expect from you? Look at yourself, you are so timid, how can you act like a great prince at all!"
The eunuchs and guards standing guard at the palace entrance all stood with their heads bowed, wishing they could bury their heads in their arms.
The emperor had scolded the eldest prince more than once or twice, but most of the time it happened in private when they were alone. This was the first time he had scolded him in public like this.
Those who are thoughtful can't help but murmur:
It seems that the emperor is really not satisfied with the eldest prince. No wonder he hasn't appointed a crown prince for such a long time.
I don’t know who will ascend the throne in the future. If the eldest prince can’t do it, could it be the second prince?
Su Youran pushed away Nanny Wei’s support and quickened her pace. Before she even reached the top of the stairs, her voice had already entered:
"Father!"
Inside the hall, Su Tiangang, who was roaring, instantly fell silent, and his first reaction was to glare at the eunuch Wei Ying who was serving beside him.
Ranran is here, didn't you even tell me in advance? She just happened to run into him when he was angry.
Su Tiangang slapped his forehead in annoyance, probably going to nag again.
Wei Ying looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. It was your fault that your voice was too loud. It could be heard from a long distance away. Even if the people outside reacted quickly, there was nothing they could do.
The author has something to say:
The second update will be a little later. I have something to do today, so I am coding very slowly. I am not sure when I will be able to finish it. I estimate it will be around 10 o'clock. Sorry, my dears. Love you.
