Dethroned the Crown Princess? Then she became your mother

That familiar face shocked everyone present.

Isn’t this the former Crown Princess Zhang?

Although she has changed her appearance and no longer shows her former pride and complacency, her unique appearance cannot be concealed.

The queen gazed at her and the emperor, a thousand thoughts welling up in her mind.

"Your Majesty, do you know her identity?"

The emperor's heart was also in turmoil.

"This girl is so similar to the former Crown Princess in the palace." A hint of displeasure flashed in the imperial concubine's eyes as she looked at the frail and pale woman in front of her. Her eyebrows were surprisingly similar to Zhang's.

How could she remain calm when her former favorite concubine lost face in front of the emperor, who actually ignored her?

The identity of the Crown Princess seemed to be activated at this moment.

The other women present, who had seen the former Crown Princess Zhang, all opened their mouths and called out, "Crown Princess."

Zhang Tianai was a little confused by this sudden address. She looked up and saw that everyone's eyes were full of confusion and curiosity.

"You..." Lan Bin's voice broke the silence.

She searched her memory for the once proud princess, but the girl before her looked so haggard and weak, which was very different from the image in her memory.

Lanpin took a deep breath and decided to tell the emperor the truth.

"Are you... the former Crown Princess Zhang?" Lanpin's voice was a little cold.

At this moment, although the Queen and the Imperial Concubine had their own thoughts, neither of them spoke first.

Zhang Tianai secretly admired this man's courage, but on the surface, she pretended to look at the emperor with a confused expression: "Who are you? I really don't understand what you are talking about. What do you mean by former Crown Princess?"

Your Majesty, now is the time for you to show your talents.

Although Tianai thought so in her heart, she looked at the emperor with a puzzled expression on her face.

The emperor and Concubine Lan looked at each other, and they both understood the meaning of this.

Concubine Lan also stared at the emperor, waiting for his response.

Murong Shuo suddenly asked, "Who do you think she resembles?" His eyes went straight to Lanpin, revealing obvious dissatisfaction.

Concubine Lan seemed a little indifferent and numb, as if she didn't notice the strange atmosphere.

Zhang Tianai smiled inwardly, finding all this quite interesting.

"Your Majesty, she does look a bit like the former Crown Princess Zhang." The Queen finally spoke after observing for a moment.

There was a hint of worry in her voice, as the mistress of the harem, she felt the need to make things clear.

Murong Shuo remained calm and composed in the face of everyone's gaze.

He interrupted everyone's speculation and made it clear: "What do you mean by former Crown Princess Zhang? I don't understand what you are talking about. How can she be similar to the former Crown Princess? Although her surname is also Zhang, they are two different people."

After hearing this, the queen felt even more uneasy.

She knew Murong Shuo's character, and once he made a decision, it was difficult for him to change it.

So she tried to confirm again: "Is it just a look-alike?"

Seeing this, Murong Shuo immediately stated decisively, "Yes, they just look alike. I was indeed a little surprised when I first saw her, but she is definitely not the former Crown Princess. She is the woman who saved me. I brought her into the palace because she saved me, not because of her identity."

He turned to Zhang Tianai, with only her in his eyes: "This is the Queen, please pay your respects." His words revealed his special feelings for Zhang Tianai.

After hearing this, Zhang Tianai bowed her head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I am not the former Crown Princess. I really don't understand why Your Majesty said that."

The imperial concubine and other palace servants watching all this, although a little uncomfortable, silently accepted this new change.

Murong Shuo seemed a little impatient: "Everyone present is from the harem. We will have to get along with each other and get to know each other."

Zhang Tianai looked around and noticed that the imperial concubine's expression became even uglier.

She laughed in her heart. The Emperor interrupted the Empress before she even finished speaking, making the situation a little awkward.

She glanced at the other palace maids again and thought to herself: This is all so full of variables and fun.

Murong Shuo was surrounded by several women, the most conspicuous of whom were the imperial concubine and consort Lan. Their beauty and grace were eye-catching.

Their eyes also fell on Zhang Tianai, as if they were examining a new challenger.

The emperor has made it clear that she is no longer the former Crown Princess. Although he knows her identity in his heart, the superficial etiquette cannot be changed.

Zhang Tianai saluted the other concubines in a weak but firm manner, her movements neither humble nor arrogant.

A smile formed inside her, but her face remained calm.

The queen's eyes revealed some doubt and dissatisfaction, and Murong Shuo used his hand to signal her to stand up.

"Get up." He said lightly.

The queen's expression changed again, while the concubines in the harem were still immersed in surprise.

His words seemed to support Zhang Tianai, making her feel inexplicably at ease.

She looked up at the emperor, and recalling his words, she felt that it was worth it for her to get hurt for him and seduce him.

Murong Shuo then turned to the queen and found that she was still in deep thought.

He asked, "What are you thinking about?"

The queen seemed to come back to her senses from her thoughts.

She knew the Emperor didn't want her to mention the similarities between Zhang Tianai and the former Crown Princess again, so she hid her doubts and put on a generous and wise smile and said to Zhang Tianai, "Sister Zhang, there's no need to be so polite. We are both the Emperor's concubines and should live in harmony."

Zhang Tianai responded to the queen respectfully.

But the imperial concubine did not want to see the queen's hypocrisy anymore, so she walked straight towards the emperor. Her beauty and confidence were eye-catching.

She looked directly at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this sister is indeed beautiful. She is so beautiful, even more beautiful than me."

Murong Shuo glanced at the Imperial Concubine, his expression softened, and then he turned to Zhang Tianai and said, "This is the Imperial Concubine."

Then he looked at the imperial concubine again and said, "There's no need to mention similar things again." The imperial concubine had to hide her doubts temporarily and decided to personally find out the identity of this woman and whether she was really the former Crown Princess.

The atmosphere in the entire court thus became subtle and complicated.

Murong Shuo's existence seemed to be the bond in this complex relationship; his words and eyes affected everyone.

The mystery of Zhang Tianai's identity makes the atmosphere of this palace full of unknowns and expectations.

"Greetings to the noble concubine."
