"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

The eunuch's voice outside was extremely clear. When Zhou Gege and Zhou Xiuniang heard it, their faces changed.

Princess Zhou planned to take this opportunity to pay her respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and show off her power in front of Zhou Xiuniang.

However, Zhou Xiuniang was thinking that she had once known the prince, and if he found out that she was disguised as a man, she was afraid that something bad would happen.

Seeing that Zhou Xiuniang looked a little uneasy, Zhou Gege smiled.

Even if I am just a concubine, so what? After all, I am marrying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Between heaven and earth, the emperor and his subjects, no one can get past me.

She walked up to Zhou Xiuniang with a smile on her face and whispered in her ear, "Sister, I'm afraid you haven't met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yet. He is handsome, gentle and considerate. If you were not married to Doctor Wen, you would have been chosen by me, even though you are so beautiful.

Zhou Gege walked out of the side hall with Baohuan and greeted the crown prince who had just arrived with a smile:

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May His Royal Highness be blessed with good health."

The prince glanced at Zhou Gege and said casually, "Why are you here with the Empress Dowager?"

When Zhou Gege saw that the prince did not ask her to get up, her face froze, but she still replied respectfully:

"In reply to His Royal Highness, the Empress summoned me and three other princesses to Jingren Palace to learn some etiquette. The Empress is kind, and since my elder sister happened to be at Jingren Palace today, she allowed us two sisters to talk here."

Zhou Xiuniang naturally heard what Zhou Gege said inside. According to etiquette, since the prince had arrived, she had to pay her respects to him.

Zhou Xiuniang could only lower her head anxiously, praying that the prince would not care about the wife of an imperial physician.

She followed him out of the side hall and greeted the Crown Prince, saying, "I, Wen Zhou, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May His Royal Highness be blessed with good health."

Zhou Xiuniang didn't dare to raise her head, for fear that the prince would recognize her.

When she disguised herself as a man, her voice changed, and the prince could not recognize Zhou Xiuniang from her voice.

"So it's Doctor Wen's new wife. Hurry up! You two sisters can continue your conversation. I'll go pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

After saying this, the prince turned around and prepared to pay his respects to Yixiu.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the prince turned around, Princess Zhou suddenly pushed Zhou Xiuniang hard. It was embarrassing enough to lose her manners in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When she returned home, she would definitely be scolded by her parents-in-law and husband.

Since you don't give me money, don't blame me for attacking you. Just treat it as a small lesson.

Zhou Xiuniang had some skills. She noticed Zhou Gege's intention and quickly took a step back, causing Zhou Gege to fall to the ground.

She sneered secretly. He was so old, but he still used these little tricks and hadn't made any progress at all.

"Ouch!"

Zhou Gege fell face down on the ground in a very funny posture.

The prince couldn't help but look back. When he saw Zhou Gege's expression, he laughed out loud.

"Zhou Gege, why did you fall to the ground for no reason?"

Zhou Gege felt a burning sensation on her face. She had been pretending to be as calm as a chrysanthemum for such a long time, but today she fell flat on her face. It was really hard for her to accept.

Baohuan quickly stepped forward to support her master. "Gege, what a fool! Why would you harm someone in such a situation? Now, you've lost more than you gained."

Your Highness, the Crown Prince, I didn't like the princess very much in the first place. After what happened today, I'm afraid I will have an even worse impression of her in the future.

Zhou Gege was helped up by Baohuan. She lowered her head and shed tears in grievance:

"Sister, how could you push me for no reason? I don't know how I offended you to hurt me like this."

Zhou Xiuniang frowned and thought to herself that something was wrong.

She was not afraid of being framed by Lady Zhou, but she was worried that if she continued to make trouble like this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely recognize her.

The prince then turned his attention to Zhou Xiuniang. The more he looked at her figure, the more familiar she seemed to him.

"What the hell is going on?"

he asked.

Zhou Gege knelt on the ground and explained while crying, "Your Highness, please forgive me. Please don't blame my sister. She probably didn't do it on purpose."

The prince checked the Zhou family's background and knew exactly what kind of person Princess Zhou was, so naturally he would not believe her words.

He turned his head to the side, wanting to see how Zhou Xiuniang would react, whether she would argue like the heroine in the novel or just endure it cowardly.

Zhou Xiuniang was now feeling a little panicked, and couldn't help cursing in her heart, this Zhou Gege was really a piece of shit, nothing good would happen if she met her.

"Your Highness, my wife didn't do anything. It was clearly Miss Zhou who suddenly pushed my wife, and then she lost her balance and fell down."

Zhou Xiuniang's maid Hongzhu couldn't stand it anymore. This second girl was too much. How could she lie without even thinking it through? It was clearly her who pushed the person, and now she was framing her.

The prince cleared his throat twice and asked, "Madam Wen, is what your maid said true?"

Zhou Xiuniang lowered her head even lower, "I have never pushed Princess Zhou."

Her guilty look made the prince feel a little strange, but he had something to say to Yixiu and didn't want to get involved in Zhou Gege's messy affairs.

"Ms. Zhou, you keep saying that it was your sister who pushed you, but don't forget, there are many people working in this palace. What you see here may not be all there is. As long as I summon all the palace maids and eunuchs in Jingren Palace, someone will definitely see the truth."

Princess Zhou was already feeling guilty, and when she met the prince's deep eyes, she knew that her affair had been exposed.

She couldn't help but secretly hate herself for being so impatient today.

I think it must be that bitch Zhou Xiuniang who deliberately provoked me. If she had given me the silver earlier, wouldn't all this happen today?

"I beg your Highness the Crown Prince to forgive me. I think... I think I was mistaken. Perhaps I fell accidentally. Sister has always been generous. You won't bother with me over such a trivial matter, right?"

Zhou Xiuniang said with a forced smile, "My sisters all say that I am magnanimous and won't care about it. If I insist on caring about it, won't it make me look petty?"

The prince shook his head. It was boring, really boring. He thought the two women would fight!

This is far worse than the palace fighting novels about legitimate daughters and illegitimate daughters that I read before.

He couldn't help but sigh that novels are novels after all, and there are still certain exaggerated elements.

"It's just such a small matter, why are you crying here and throwing people into the Empress Dowager's palace? I see that Princess Zhou is not very clear-headed today, so I'll kneel outside and let the wind blow on her to wake her up."
