After the emperor came back, he took Yuan Ruan and others through a special direct passage.

The four-horse royal carriage passed through the outer city and the inner city unimpeded and finally arrived at the imperial palace.

Yuan Ruan, who was half asleep, was carried down from the carriage by the emperor.

She was still curled up in the emperor's arms without looking up when she heard people gasping for air nearby.

Yuan Ruan looked over curiously.

Good guy.

Beauties, dressed in silks and satins of different colors, some wearing pure white long coats or bright red plush waistcoats, stood in the front with a smile on their faces. At a glance, each of them was beautiful in her own way, just like colorful flowers blooming in the twelfth lunar month.

[So beautiful, really so beautiful, is this the joy of being an emperor?! ]

[I’m so envious! ]

The emperor's expression was slightly strange, but at the same time, his eyes swept sharply towards the concubines in front of him.

Being caught off guard is the easiest opportunity to find out who can hear Yuanruan's inner voice.

Sure enough, he saw two concubines among dozens of them with obvious confusion on their faces.

It turned out to be Concubine Rong and Concubine De.

[I also want to try this kind of happiness. ]

The emperor looked over again and saw that the expressions of the three concubines changed subtly in an instant.

It seems that a queen is needed to hear one's inner voice.

The emperor was thinking carefully here, but he didn't know that his three concubines were almost frightened to death.

You can't blame them.

Anyone who heard so many outrageous words, and someone dared to laugh at them in front of the emperor, would find it difficult to control their emotions.

The emperor was usually fine, but when he got really angry, it was not uncommon for him to confiscate the property and exterminate the clan! If he was implicated and executed by some idiots, wouldn't it be too unjust?

But after the panic, Queen Wang quickly came to her senses and realized something was wrong.

It seems that not everyone can hear this sound.

Queen Wang was confused, but she said nothing and closed her eyes, meditating like a bodhisattva.

The other surprised Concubine De quickly regained her composure. She didn't even look at other people. She just gently twisted the Buddhist beads on her left wrist and prayed silently with her brows lowered.

Only Rongpin's reaction was different.

Rongpin had a very wild imagination. After she tried to hold back her laughter, she realized that the soft voice did not belong to any of the concubines. So Rongpin did not even look around. Her eyes were fixed on the four-horse carriage that was carrying the emperor.

Rongpin even boldly speculated that maybe the emperor had offended some fairy or witch outside, so he brought back a new sister.

After thinking about it, Rongpin couldn't help but want to test it out, so she pretended to be straightforward and asked: "Your Majesty, did you bring back a sister this time?"

The emperor glanced at Rongpin expressionlessly.

Rongpin shrank back.

The concubines around them trembled and roared in their hearts, "Princess Rong, can you please stop courting death? What if you really anger the emperor? Won't we all be buried with you?"

Queen Wang and Concubine De also looked at Concubine Rong, both doubting that she could hear their thoughts.

Defei turned her wrist silently, feeling disdainful in her heart. There are so many women in the world, but this one is so jealous before she even meets her. It's really not decent.

Queen Wang chuckled. She didn't expect that Concubine Rong, who seemed to be the most scheming, was so simple in her actions.

At this time, Yuanruan's voice sounded excitedly:

[What sister?! Where is the new sister? Where is the new beauty? Why can't I see her? Tong'er, did you see her? ]

System: [No, host, don’t read it. Sister and sister are just nicknames for concubines.]

After hearing this, Rongpin had no idea what was going on. It was a huge misunderstanding.

For the first time, she did not dare to look directly at the emperor's face. As her gaze moved downwards, she happened to meet a pair of large, round eyes that were full of expectation.

Rongpin: ...

That's too hasty. The spirit may not be a witch, it may also be a baby.

As for the emperor, whose reputation was damaged, he frowned.

He wasn't going to let the little guy continue to imagine weird things.

The emperor thought about it and let Wu Yue get off the carriage first.

The emperor said: "I accidentally rescued her outside the palace. After investigation, I found that this is my concubine's biological daughter who was left outside."

The concubines:!!!

They couldn't believe their ears? ! A daughter left behind?

Several concubines who had lost their children many years ago couldn't help but touch their bellies, and some of them looked at Wu Yue with expectant eyes.

Among them, Rongpin's eyes were red.

The maidservant beside her whispered, "Don't be sad, my lady, there will be another chance."

The Queen also walked up to the Emperor and whispered, "Your Majesty, can you find out which sister's daughter this is? If the biological mother is gone, should the child be registered under the name of one of the sisters?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of several palace concubines lit up.

At this time, an old palace maid who was a little lame whispered to Rongpin: "Your Majesty is still young and can have children. Even if you really want to adopt one, I think you should adopt one from the baby stage so that it can be raised well."

The emperor was about to say that he had not yet investigated the matter thoroughly, but he did not expect his inner voice to ring out:

[That old lady's words were so harsh, she actually dared to look down on little Yueyue. ]

The three concubines were stunned: Xiao Yueyue?

Wu Yue felt warm in his heart and wanted to tell the little Bodhisattva that it was okay, but when he thought of the emperor's warning before he came, he shut up again.

System: [Let me take a look! Holy crap! It turns out that Rongpin is Yueyue’s biological mother! ]

Rongpin was so shocked that she gasped.

The emperor glanced sideways.

The Queen and Concubine De couldn't help but glance at the two of them. One had a beautiful appearance, and the other had a cold temperament. They didn't look very similar!

Wu Yue's expression was calm.

Yuanruan was shocked: [System, please tell me in detail! ]

[This old maid had always wanted to give her niece to the emperor as his wife. But she knew that her niece was not good-looking and had a poor family background, so she wanted to wait for her niece to give birth to a child for the emperor, and then let Rongpin raise them. Because of this, she was unwilling to let Rongpin give birth to her own children to share the emperor's love. After Rongpin gave birth to little Yueyue, she secretly replaced the baby with a dead one, and she continued to send contraceptive soup after that.]

Rongpin clenched her handkerchief tightly.

Yuan Ruan was stunned when he heard this.

I have been eating so many melons, but this is the first time I have eaten such a stupid and bad melon.

For the sake of her invisible nephew, she actually caused the concubines in the main palace to be childless. If Concubine Rong fell out of favor because of childlessness, the treatment of the entire Chaoyang Palace would be affected.

When Rongpin's face was full of ferocity and about to explode, the emperor suddenly said: "Wu Yue is Rongpin's child. It was the slave next to you who stole the child away."

When these words were spoken, the crowd who could not hear Yuan Ruan's inner voice were in an uproar.

The old maid was so panicked that she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, this is unjust! I dare not do that! Your Majesty, this is unjust!"

Yuanruan: [Brother! Come on! Give Xiao Yueyue some justice! ]

The emperor did not move.

Rongpin rushed over and slapped the old palace maid on the cheek twice.

After smoking, Rongpin immediately left the old palace maid and rushed to Wu Yue without saying a word, hugged her and burst into tears.

[The touching mother-daughter relationship, so good, they finally recognized each other. 】

Wu Yue froze for a moment, then reached out and patted Rongpin's shoulder, motioning her to move aside first.

Rongpin thought that Wu Yue was rejecting her. Just as she was about to defend herself, she saw Wu Yue snatch a knife from the waist of the palace guard next to him at a speed invisible to ordinary people and stab it directly into the old palace maid's leg bone.

Wu Yue said coldly: "She almost ran away."

The old palace maid wailed continuously, the palace concubines were frightened and panicked, even Concubine Rong was pale and did not move.

Wu Yue's eyes turned even colder when he saw this.

[So handsome! As expected of Yueyue! ]

But in an instant, a hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes again.

Rongpin felt annoyed when she saw this. It was not that she was afraid, she just felt sorry for her daughter suffering outside when she saw how skillful she was.

Thinking of this, Rongpin hurriedly walked in front of Wu Yue and said proudly: "You are worthy of being my daughter. Mother is proud of you."

The emperor was very satisfied with Wu Yue's performance. He continued, "Today, besides her, I also have a little princess."

Concubines: !!!

what?

There's actually a princess?!

Are there so many hidden pearls in the vast ocean of Daxia?
