The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

Deceiving the Queen Mother? Sending someone into Prince Zhuo's mansion?

The onlookers were all stunned by Prince De’s words!

Didn't they say that these eight beauties were to be sent to the Queen Mother as companions? Was it their intention from the beginning to send them to Prince Zhuo's mansion?

Wow! That's what it is!!!

The ministers and the ladies in the palace were all thinking about this and everyone thought they had glimpsed the truth.

"Please be careful with your words, Prince De. You can't accuse me of a crime that I don't believe is just because Princess Zhuo is jealous..." He finally understood that they were afraid that their adopted daughter couldn't beat these beauties, so they were deliberately looking for trouble for him, huh!

After thinking it through, Cheng Enbo's words became more justified.

"Since ancient times, having three wives and four concubines is the norm. As the principal wife, you should be tolerant and generous. Helping Prince Zhuo's Mansion to expand is the princess's duty. The Queen Mother and the Emperor saw that Prince Zhuo's Mansion had few offspring, so they did this kind thing. You are ungrateful and are even making trouble for no reason? Princess Zhuo, you must put the prince's offspring first and must not be jealous or petty!"

Shen Yu was stunned as she was eating melon. Why was she still included in the role?

How should I answer? You didn't let me know beforehand!

While she was stunned, Lu Yingxing took the lead and sat down and hugged her in his arms. He patted her back to comfort her and said angrily, "Lord Cheng'en, why are you making trouble out of nothing? If my princess gave birth to twins, it would be considered as the loss of her offspring... then how do you let those women who can only give birth to single babies deal with it? Aren't you obviously forcing others to do it? Besides, when has your Earl's Mansion ever bothered with the affairs of our Huangjue family?"

His last utterances were a little trembling, and the way he held his wife tightly in his arms looked as if the young couple had suffered a great injustice.

At the right time, Shen Yu softly called out in his arms, "...Husband," and the voice sounded as aggrieved as it could be.

In contrast, it makes Cheng Enbo, the Queen Mother and the Emperor seem like the bad guys who are trying to break up the couple.

Seeing this scene in the palace, many ladies felt sad, envious and regretful. How could such a husband/son-in-law not belong to their own family? !

But soon they all united in their hatred of the enemy and cast condemning glances at Cheng Enbo, expressing strong disdain for his behavior!

Prince Zhuo was right. If even giving birth to twins in one pregnancy was considered a loss of offspring, then where would these ladies be placed?

But no matter how angry they were, no one had the weight of Duke Dingguo to be the first to speak out.

The emperor was also shocked by Lu Yingxing's weak accusation. They were the two who were killing people in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the afternoon. Who were they showing off their grievances to?

He was immediately infuriated by the couple's aggrieved look, but he had to suppress his anger and speak to smooth things over, "Well, since they don't want to take a concubine, Uncle Cheng En, you should stop forcing them."

When Shen Yu heard the emperor say "you guys", he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

So, this dog emperor was quite good at taking the opportunity to slander the Queen Mother, right?

The empress dowager almost couldn't keep the fake smile on her face. She knew that her brother had never been able to accomplish anything, and always caused trouble!

"Well, since Princess Zhuo is not afraid of being accused of jealousy and is willing to ruin her own reputation to stop Prince Zhuo from taking a concubine, we elders should not force her to do anything. Well, then..."

Shen Yu was furious, damn, every word he said was slandering me! !

Finally, the Duke of De, who had had enough of the gossip, spoke again, interrupting the Queen Mother's closing statement, "Mother, Lord Cheng'en dared to whitewash the prostitutes' identities and send them to the palace. You won't just let it go, will you? Besides, these women were sent in the name of celebrating the Queen Mother's birthday... Lord Cheng'en also said that he wanted the prostitutes to follow you every day? Oh, isn't this clearly intended to tarnish your reputation? Don't you care?"

He had heard the word "whitewash" from his eldest daughter. Would the Queen Mother think that her cheap father would let it go? No way! The fun had just begun!

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't do that! You're slandering me!!"

Earl Cheng En cried out in grievance loudly, and in his haste he even forgot to address his superiors and subordinates. After all, Prince De still had to call him uncle, so did he really want to put him to death?

He was not stupid. The identities of these women had been strictly screened. The Queen Mother had secretly ordered him to find a virgin with a clean background and send her to Prince Zhuo's mansion in the name of celebrating the birthday. How could he dare not be careful?

The Queen Mother saw that Prince De was so confident and her brother's complaints did not seem false, and for a moment she was unsure who was right and who was wrong.

Her expression remained unchanged as she spoke calmly, "My prince, how can you just say something like this with just a few words?"

Prince De raised his eyes and looked at her with disappointment, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, "Alas..."

Even the emperor, who always liked to smooth things over, could see that there was something going on!

Although I didn't confront my brother openly, many things were actually already tacitly understood by everyone, but it was still necessary to pretend to be a brotherly friend in front of others.

Besides... Compared to this stupid uncle, when it comes to scheming people, he is more willing to believe that Prince De is evil. "That's enough, my brother. What evidence do you have for what you said?"

"Your Majesty! This is clearly slander! These women are from official families. If you don't believe me, you can inquire about this matter with the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

Earl Cheng En confidently recounted to everyone how difficult it was for him to persuade the parents to allow their daughter to enter the palace.

Although it is a supreme honor to serve the empress dowager, no matter how glorious it is, she is still a slave. For official families, they may need their daughters to help the empress dowager, but for ordinary families, who doesn't want their daughters to live a safe and smooth life rather than entering the palace as maids?

Most of these eight beauties came from ordinary families. Cheng Enbo had to visit their parents several times before he got their consent. He tearfully recounted how much effort he had put into making the queen happy.

But when everyone heard this, their minds were filled with Prince De's words "brothel girls whitewashing their identities". They turned around and looked at the eight gorgeous women standing gracefully in the hall... They felt that it was more and more like that!

Shen Yu also leaned over to Lu Yingxing's ear and whispered to him, "Hey, what are you guys up to?"

The warm breath hit his earlobe, making him feel tingling and numb, and made Lu Yingxing's eyes darken.

But it was not convenient to say more at this time, he just leaned over and gave a few hints. Shen Yu looked at him with admiration and bowed slightly: You guys really know how to play!

When Prince De saw that his eldest daughter was still in the mood to flirt with others, he guessed that Lu Yingxing should tell her the truth. He glanced at the eight beauties over there and held his chin with one hand, as if he was undoubtedly giving a secret signal.

A moment later, in full view of the crowd, a woman wearing an indigo headdress suddenly stepped out. The Queen Mother's heart suddenly became tense, and she had a bad premonition...
