My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

In front of an exquisite bronze mirror, the woman with the green birthmark looked at her imitation and smiled proudly: "The disguise technique is really powerful. Even I can't recognize myself. But, this appearance makes me look ten years older."

"Yes, the princess is very beautiful, and this disguise is just to play a trick on the Wen family!"

The middle-aged woman beside the princess smiled indulgently and asked the little girl holding the water to come forward quickly.

Princess! She is the princess!

That’s right, the woman with the blue birthmark is Princess Hexu, the beloved daughter of Prince Cheng.

She just turned eighteen this year. The month when she was born was the rainy season. Before Princess Hexu was born, it had rained heavily for more than twenty days. Floods were severe in various places, and floods became a concern for the emperor.

The wife of Prince Cheng, who was in charge of the disaster-stricken areas at the time, was about to give birth. On the day Princess Hexu was born, the heavy rain that had lasted for many days suddenly stopped, and there was even an extremely beautiful rainbow that appeared in the sky, spanning the entire Forbidden City.

The late emperor was very pleased to learn that Prince Cheng had a daughter, so he personally named the newborn child Princess Hexu!

Because she represented a sign of good fortune from the moment she was born, Princess Hexu was loved endlessly by everyone in the palace since she was a child. In addition, her biological mother was the wife of Prince Cheng and the younger sister of the current empress, so Princess Hexu was the most loved person in the world. When the late emperor was alive, he met Princess Hexu in person several times. Princess Hexu was bold and lively, and was deeply loved by the late emperor.

When the late emperor passed away, Princess Hexu was still young, but she received the late emperor's oral order and followed the other princes, princesses and concubines to wear mourning clothes for the late emperor.

Therefore, in Prince Cheng's Mansion, Princess Hexu's status was much higher than that of her other brothers and sisters in the mansion. Even the three younger brothers born to her mother later could not compare with her.

The maid carefully helped Princess Hexu wash her face, and then washed her hands in a basin of water soaked in gardenias...

Princess Hexu closed her eyes, and the nanny who had just spoken to her took a white handkerchief and gently wiped the blue birthmark on the princess in front of the bronze mirror.

After repeating this several times, the birthmark disappeared.

Princess Hexu and the nanny smiled at each other. Even without makeup, Princess Hexu in the mirror was still as beautiful as a flower, absolutely stunning.

"The princess is as beautiful as a fairy from heaven. I am not flattering you. In this whole capital, I have never seen a young woman as beautiful as you!"

"Aunt Fu, you keep calling me an old slave. Aren't you afraid of calling yourself old?"

Princess Hexu pursed her lips and smiled: "You are only in your early forties, how can you be old? Could it be that you are the same as that old lady Lu..."

"Hahaha! Princess, please stop joking."

Aunt Fu smiled faintly and looked at the maid behind her: "Bring the water out! What a rude thing! The princess doesn't eat much tonight, so go get some snacks and fruits. Remember, the princess doesn't like things that are too sweet, so don't bring the glutinous rice cakes and steamed lotus root slices!"

"Yes Yes!"

"Pick the freshest ones, duck tongue and goose feet, and bring a plate of each." After Aunt Fu finished speaking, the maid hurried to prepare it. Princess Hexu sat lazily on the bed. Next to the bed was a more than one-meter-long silver fox fur mat.

Two maids stood on either side, combing the princess' hair which had been tied up all day. Their movements were neither too light nor too heavy, and it made her look quite comfortable.

Aunt Fu had someone bring in a small square mahogany table and place it in front of the princess. There were candlesticks on both sides with incense burning to repel mosquitoes, and the smell was very light. Soon, the maid brought in six kinds of sweet and greasy fruits, a plate of fresh duck tongue, a plate of goose feet, and four clean fruit plates.

"Put it all on the table? Is the wine hot?"

“It’s burned!”

The girl replied, and quickly brought up the hot wine.

Princess Hexu began to eat her midnight snack leisurely, and talked about today's events, and she and Aunt Fu laughed together.

"I dare not give them too much silver today, for fear that they will get angry and suspicious and want to know my true identity... Those four gold ingots will be enough to make them happy for a while!"

Princess Hexu raised the corner of her mouth, took a sip of wine, and looked at Aunt Fu.

Aunt Fu said, "Lu Zhanyao has been in the prison for so many days. The princess has given him a mysterious light at this time. He will undoubtedly seize this last chance."

"Haha... Of course, there is no game that this princess wants to play that she cannot play. He is a trapped beast, and this princess will teach him well, which will naturally be helpful. After all, no one in this world hates Wen Qiqi more than Lu Zhanyao!"

Princess Hexu held a letter in her pocket and looked at it carefully...

"It's just that anyone with a tongue can speak, and when the game is over, this princess doesn't want anyone to speak."

"So, the princess wants them to find all the families and children in the Lu Mansion because she is worried that there will be trouble after the game is over?"

Aunt Fu looked at Princess Hexu, who smiled and said, "This is one of the reasons. Also... any child from the Lu family could become my most powerful chess piece in the future! After all, the Lu family's deep hatred for Wen Qiqi will only grow deeper!"

Beneath the cliff, the moonlight is hazy.

Wen Qiqi stepped on the stones under his feet, pressed his whole body against the cliff, and moved carefully...

The same was true for Die Jiu and Xinyi behind him.

The Fourteenth Prince took out his long sword and gave it to Die Jiu: "Hold on!"

Die Jiu was stunned, staring at the Fourteenth Prince with wide eyes. The Fourteenth Prince coughed softly in frustration: "You are really young and ignorant. You were so anxious that you even forgot that you were not in good health? If you fall down from such a high cliff..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Die Jiu hurriedly grasped the scabbard of the Fourteenth Prince and smiled with pursed lips.

Xinyi also smiled, poked Diejiu and whispered: "The way the prince treats you is really like..."

"No nonsense!"

Die Jiu blew his beard and glared, and Xinyi shrank his neck: "Forget it, I won't tease you, I have to go and protect the young lady!"

"The lady still needs your protection!"

Die Jiu curled her lips and said, "You know that. Miss has been the best at climbing walls and running on rooftops since she was a child...Among the three of us, I am the only one who is afraid of heights!"

"Hahaha...then you walk slowly behind with the Fourteenth Prince."

"you……"

Die Jiu's face turned red. Fortunately, it was dark at night and the Fourteenth Prince couldn't see anything.

Seeing that the Thirteenth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince, Wen Qiqi, Xinyi, and Niansheng had already crossed the cliff and hid under the boulder, Die Jiu was extremely anxious. She took a deep breath and tried to speed up her pace...

As a result, a quail suddenly flew up from above her head. The "flutter flutter" sound scared Die Jiu so much that she slipped. Fortunately, she held on to the scabbard of the Fourteenth Prince tightly and did not really fall down!

Seeing Die Jiu's body leaning down the cliff, the Fourteenth Prince took decisive action, pulling the other end of the scabbard hard, while his other arm firmly held Die Jiu's slender waist.

"What a thin waist!"

The Fourteenth Prince sighed inwardly, "Even though she's pregnant, Diejiu's waist is so slender that it can be held in one hand!"
