My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion and a group of women in luxurious clothes came up from the other side of the rockery.

The one leading the group was dressed elegantly, different from the others, and looked slightly older than the Fourth Princess and Princess Qingning.

Seeing the Fourth Princess and her group, he simply crouched down slightly and said, "So the Fourth Princess and Qingning are here too. What a coincidence."

The Fourth Princess and Princess Qingning both looked gloomy.

Princess Qingning spoke first, "So it's Qingping! You're late! We've already guessed all the lanterns on this rockery. If you want a lantern, you'll have to look elsewhere."

The one called Qingping glanced around the room and fixed his eyes on the large palace lantern in the hands of the little palace maid behind Lu Zhenzhen.

"I want that palace lantern!" He said as if it was a matter of course and was about to signal the person behind him to take it.

Princess Qingning was not happy with this: "This belongs to my cousin's wife. I want to see who can take it!"

Qingping smiled and said, "I dare not touch your lanterns, Fourth Princess and Qingning. Your cousin-in-law is nothing. It is her blessing that I have taken a fancy to the lantern. If you give it to me, I will let it go. Otherwise, your cousin-in-law will be in trouble!"

"Qingping, how dare you! Le'an is my protector. If you want to show off your power, go find someone else!" The fourth princess was also angry and stepped forward to defend him.

Qingping sneered as he looked at Lu Zhenzhen, then said nonchalantly, "So you're the newly appointed Lord of Le'an Township! A lord with an empty title, if you know what's good for you, just hand over the lanterns. Otherwise, when I tell my grandmother, you're doomed! Even if the princess protects you, it's useless!"

Lu Zhenzhen didn't expect that there were such domineering female members in the palace. Her title sounded like a princess, but why was she so rude to the fourth princess?

What's the origin?

He turned around and asked Qingning: "Who is she?"

Before Qingning could answer, a girl next to Qingping boasted loudly: "You don't know? This is Princess Qingping. Her grandmother is Princess Deqing. Even His Majesty is very kind to Princess Deqing and respects her the most——"

Lu Zhenzhen understood. This was just another idiot who couldn't see the situation clearly and had a confused mind.

He sneered, pulled the Fourth Princess behind him, and retorted, "Oh, so you're the granddaughter of Princess Deqing! But she's just a fringe figure in the royal family. Looking at your attitude, someone who didn't know you would think you're His Majesty's own granddaughter!"

"Your Majesty's own daughter, the Fourth Princess, is here, and she's not as powerful as you! What's the matter? Could it be that Princess Deqing is more noble than Your Majesty? Could it be that Princess Deqing's granddaughter is more noble than Your Majesty's own daughter?"

"It's one thing for each of you to not show respect to the Fourth Princess and Princess Qingning, but you're also being so rude. Who gave you the courage?"

The girls next to Princess Qingping became flustered when they heard this and looked at Princess Qingping hurriedly.

Princess Qingping was not afraid at all. She sneered and said, "My grandmother has been very kind to Your Majesty. Your Majesty was also very polite when he saw my grandmother. How dare you speak to me like this?"

Lu Zhenzhen refused to back down. "Even if Princess Deqing has done Your Majesty a favor, the whole world belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. As a subject, doing anything for Your Majesty is my duty. How dare I mention the word 'favor'? Only those with ulterior motives, who want to use the insignificant things done to Your Majesty to demand a return of favor, would constantly mention favors to pressure Your Majesty!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eunuchs and palace maids around all knelt down.

This was not what they were supposed to hear. They all wished they could cover their ears.

Even the female relatives around Princess Qingping were panicked.

Princess Qingping was anxious: "Stop talking nonsense! My grandmother didn't have that! Oh, who do you think you are? You're just a village chief with an empty title. If it weren't for the emperor's grace, you wouldn't even have the chance to enter the palace! How dare you talk to me like that and slander my grandmother? I tell you, you're finished!"

Lu Zhenzhen sneered, "Here at the feet of the emperor, in the imperial palace, you, a mere princess, dare to threaten the township lord personally appointed by His Majesty. This shows how domineering and arrogant you are in your daily life! Others are afraid of you, but I am not! Don't you just rely on your grandmother, the eldest princess, as your backer? But you don't even ask who my backer is?"

Princess Qingping was stunned. "Who is your backer? Can it be stronger than mine?"

Lu Zhenzhen said slowly: "Although I am only a village chief, Your Majesty is my greatest support and biggest backer!"

Princess Qingping panicked at first, but quickly recovered. "You? What are you dreaming about?! How could His Majesty be your biggest backer? Even though he made you the village chief, he's never even met you! How can he be your biggest backer? Who are you trying to fool?"

Princess Qingning on the side also pulled Lu Zhenzhen's sleeve: "Cousin, please stop talking nonsense."

Lu Zhenzhen held down Princess Qingning's hand and continued to speak to Princess Qingping, "I'm not kidding you. Think about it, His Majesty loves his people like his own children, right?"

Qingping wanted to refute, but no matter how foolish she was, she dared not say that His Majesty did not love the people like his own children. She could only nod in frustration: "Of course!"

Lu Zhenzhen clapped her hands. "Then I am also your Majesty's subject. Your Majesty loves the people like his own children, which is equivalent to loving me like his own children, right? Rounding it off, then am I not the equivalent of your Majesty's child?"

"How can you, His Majesty's niece, be compared to someone like me, His Majesty's own child? How can such a thing be justified in this world?"

Lu Zhenzhen's words confused everyone present.

According to what Lu Zhenzhen said, it does make sense.

But I always feel like something is not right?

Under the rockery.

A group of people walked here quietly and happened to hear these words.

The first one was a middle-aged man in a dark blue dragon robe. He couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this. He turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Whose family is this woman?"

The eunuch serving beside him was sweating profusely and whispered: "Your Majesty, this is the Le'an Township Lord you conferred a few days ago. Do you want your servant to--"

The middle-aged man, who was no different from the emperor, shook his head, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Just stand there and continue listening.

The others didn't dare to make a sound. They all lowered their heads and listened to the voice on the rockery.

Then the fourth princess's confused voice was heard: "So, Le An, don't we become half-sisters?"

It was Princess Qingping who reacted first: "You, you are being unreasonable and making unfounded arguments! How can you justify it like this?"

Lu Zhenzhen blinked. "Why not? Are you trying to say that Your Majesty doesn't love his people like his own children?"

Princess Qingping would never dare to say that even if she was beaten to death.

He could only stare at Lu Zhenzhen in frustration.
