The peerless and dark princess

The two maids let the people who brought in help the three of them change clothes, and they went out first to give an explanation to everyone.

The nanny beside the queen clenched her hands, wondering what went wrong.

When Mu Wange came, she and the people sent by the Queen also saw it.

The Queen saw the two old maids coming out and stared at them, but her own maid just shook her head. What did she mean? Could it be that the prince hadn't given Mu Wange to...

What's going on with the two female voices inside? If it's not Mu Wange, then who is it? Who is the other one? Who is plotting what in there?

The queen had all kinds of guesses in her mind, but now that all the female members of the family were present, she couldn't lose face no matter how anxious she was.

"Huh? Why are all of you here?"

Mu Wange's voice came from behind, Yihua immediately smiled, but Moxiang turned pale.

"Miss, why are you here? Didn't you go to see the second prince?" Moxiang asked anxiously.

"Hey, Moxiang, I was just looking for my dropped jade pendant, how did it become looking for His Royal Highness the Second Prince? I haven't even seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince today. Also, why are you here instead of staying with my second sister? Oh, and where is my second sister?"

Elegy asked, pretending to be completely clueless.

Everyone saw Mu Wange appearing behind them and it was a bit blurry. Mu Wange was standing there alive and well, so who was inside?

After hearing the words of the elegy, everyone remembered that Muruohan, because of her nickname of talented woman, made the second prince make an exception and bring her to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, so it was self-evident who one of the women was.

"She is the Second Prince, Miss Mu, and Lord Zhao's legitimate daughter."

The two maids finally spoke out. When the words "Zhao's legitimate daughter" came out, everyone was shocked. Everyone present more or less knew that Master Zhao belonged to the Crown Prince. Now that Master Zhao's legitimate daughter was actually involved with the Second Prince, the matter became complicated, but no one dared to speak.

At this time, Concubine Liang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this matter involves the Second Prince, Lord Zhao, and Minister Mu's daughter. I'm afraid we, the concubines in the harem, are the ones who can handle it. In my opinion, it is better for Your Majesty to take care of it."

"What Concubine Liang said is true. This matter indeed needs to wait for His Majesty to deal with it. Then I will go to the front first."

After a while, the Queen and all the ladies present arrived at the banquet hall in front, and Chen Yunfeng, Zhao Xinya and Muruohan had also been packed up and taken to the center of the hall.

Chen Yunfeng didn't care about the others' opinions. He felt a little happy because Mu Ruohan already belonged to him. Thinking of Zhao Xinya, he couldn't help but frown. But he also knew that it was best not to say anything now.

"absurd!!!"

The emperor's voice came from the door of the hall, and everyone quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.

Emperor Chen Yan was helped by the eunuch to sit on the throne next to the empress. He stared at the person kneeling on the ground and said, "Stand up."

Chen Yunfeng, Zhao Xinya, and Muruohan also stood up after hearing this. "Did I let you three get up?"

Muruhan and Zhao Xinya were so frightened by the emperor's cold words that their faces gradually turned pale. Although Chen Yunfeng's face looked normal, his slightly trembling legs revealed that he was also afraid of his father.

"Queen, tell me, what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know. I only know that a palace maid just now said something strange was going on in the Qingxiang Garden. I thought she might have offended some noble, so I took everyone to check it out. Who knew we would see such a sight? Your Majesty, your concubine, I failed to supervise you properly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The queen was worthy of being the master of the harem. She immediately removed herself first. Mu Wange looked at the queen.

"You did not manage things well enough, but we'll talk about that later."

Emperor Chen Yan naturally would not lose face with the Queen at this juncture. As the mother of a country, he had to do this no matter what.

"My dear son, Feng'er, if you want to marry or take a concubine, just tell me or my mother. Why are you acting so absurdly?"

Chen Yan pointed at Chen Yunfeng, not knowing what to say. With a son like this, he really...

"My son..."

Chen Yunfeng wanted to argue, but when he saw the look in his mother's eyes, he knew the depth of her words and dared not say anything. He only said, "Your son, I know I was wrong!"

"Your Majesty, just now the maid of the Second Miss of the Mu family insisted that it was Miss Mu who had committed an indecent act with the Second Prince in Qingxiang Garden. I think there must be something inside..."

Concubine Liang spoke slowly.

Suddenly, Concubine Nian and the Queen grabbed each other's hands tightly, their hearts burning with anger as they wished they could tear Concubine Liang apart.

Mu Wange lowered his head and secretly glanced at the Queen and Concubine Nian. As expected, the two of them seemed to have made up their minds to sacrifice pawns to save the king. No one except Concubine Liang and Mu Wange noticed the change in their expressions at that moment.

"Are you talking about Minister Mu's daughter, Mu Wange?"

"Back to Your Majesty, yes."

Concubine Liang secretly glanced at Chen Yueyao and Mu Wange.

"Then Mu Wange, tell me what this has to do with you."

"Your Majesty, Mu Wange greets you."

Mu Wange squatted on the ground, using her wide skirt as a bulwark. She didn't want to kneel before this bastard emperor. "I don't know the specific details. I was admiring the flowers with the Third Princess and Miss Gong Qingyu at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, passing by Qingxiang Garden. We drank fruit juice with them in the pavilion. Then, I realized my jade pendant was missing. I was afraid that Grandmother wouldn't be able to find me, so I asked my personal maid Yihua to tell Grandmother and went looking for it alone... Later, I saw the young ladies and ladies of various families in front of Qingxiang Garden, and they all said that it was me, Wange, who was there. I have no idea what was going on. Oh, and on the way, I also ran into Prince Heng and the Young Master of the Zhao family... They can all testify."

After Wange and Zuo Ci came out, she pretended to be looking for something and met Zhao Xinya's brother Zhao Yanqing.

Zhao Yanqing was the son of Lord Zhao's first wife. However, for some unknown reason, his first wife died of illness, and within half a year, he married Zhao Xinya's mother...

When Emperor Chen Yan came here again, he indeed found that Zuo Ci and Zhao Yanqing were not at their seats. It turned out that when he arrived at the harem, he couldn't help but have a headache. Zhao Yanqing and Zuo Ci were birds of a feather. They always liked to look at beautiful women. I think everyone knows that the Queen is inviting young ladies from various families to the Hundred Flowers Banquet today, so they must have come to see the beauties.

"This Miss Mu shouldn't lie. If she does, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor."

I don't know who whispered it, but even if it was a low voice in this quiet palace, I could still hear it clearly.

"Go, Prince Xuanheng and Young Master Zhao come in."

After a while, Zuo Ci came in lazily following the eunuch, and behind him was Zhao Yanqing who was dressed similarly.

"Meet Uncle Huang."

"See Your Majesty!!"

"Well, no need to be polite. Have you ever met Miss Mu?"

"Uncle Huang, who is Miss Mu?"

"The one sitting next to you in purple."

"She's such a reckless person! She almost bumped into me and Yan Qing. She said she was looking for a jade pendant. But she's actually a pretty girl. If she were a little uglier, tsk, tsk, tsk."

Zuo Ci looked around while waving his fan, his tone very frivolous.

The wives of the officials in the palace were immediately displeased. Although Old Madam Mu was displeased with Zuo Ci's frivolous teasing of her granddaughter, she was relieved. At least her granddaughter had been freed from the trap. But as for Mu Ruohan... Old Madam Mu couldn't help but frown, feeling furious. However, no matter how much she disliked her, Mu Ruohan was still her son's daughter...
