Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story

After a while, Xu came in and said, "Princess, there is a court prostitute who wants to see you."

"Ask her to come in."

"Yes."

After a while, a woman in red walked in. Zhao Yuanqing knew her. She was one of the nine official prostitutes who had just been selected.

The woman in red knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply. Zhao Yuanqing was a little surprised. "What's the matter? Why are you doing such a grand ceremony?"

The woman raised her head, her eyes filled with tears. "Excuse me, sir, are you... are you Princess Shanzhen?"

Wow!

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuanqing's identity was discovered by a court prostitute!

Meng Jiu and Wen Qian immediately became alert. There were only four of them. If the soldiers outside knew about it and someone reported the princess's whereabouts to the emperor, the emperor would definitely become suspicious.

According to the princess's planned route, she should be on her way to Jiangnan, but now she is in Longyou Road. The emperor will definitely suspect that she wants to rebel, and even the prince and queen will be implicated.

Meng Jiu drew out the knife and put it on the neck of the woman in red, waiting for Zhao Yuanqing to give the order and kill her with one blow.

Xu also stood at the door vigilantly, staring outside carefully.

Zhao Yuanqing touched the Adam's apple on her neck. It was sticky and firm. The voice was still male. Her face was smeared with ginger. She didn't even look like a woman. How did this person recognize her?

She chuckled, signaling Meng Jiu to calm down, and asked, "How did you know?"

The woman covered her mouth and big tears fell, "It really is the princess, I really waited for her, God, please open your eyes, wuwuwu..."

Her crying voice was sobbing. She wanted to say something but couldn't hold back her tears, so she had to lie on the ground and cry her heart out.

Meng Jiu put down the knife, but was still worried and stood beside her to watch over her.

The woman cried for a while, then suppressed her emotion, wiped away her tears, and said, "Princess, you certainly don't remember me, but you should know my elder sister. She is Mei Lingyue, the eldest daughter of Mei Longgang, the former Crown Prince's tutor."

When she said that, Zhao Yuanqing remembered.

Nine years ago, when she was still young, a cheating case occurred in the imperial court. Mei Longgang, who was the prince's tutor, was appointed as the chief examiner that year, but someone revealed that he had cheated for personal gain and leaked the examination questions. The imperial examination had not yet begun, but the examination questions had already spread everywhere.

When Mei Longgang was held accountable, he denied it in court and refused to admit that he had leaked the test questions.

The emperor was also a little hesitant because Mei Longgang usually behaved very honestly, was upright and had profound knowledge, otherwise he would not have been appointed as the prince's teacher.

If it is discovered that Mei Longgang really has a problem and is cheating in the imperial examination, it will inevitably hurt the hearts of candidates all over the world and will also have an impact on the prince.

However, at this time, a person appeared and held up solid evidence, saying that Mei Longgang had leaked the test questions. This person was Zhang Yinhang, the fiancé of Mei Longgang's eldest daughter Mei Lingyue.

Zhang Yinhang reported to the emperor that there was a secret compartment in Mei Longgang's study, which contained the test papers that Mei Longgang had copied secretly. Those test papers were enough to prove that Mei Longgang had cheated in the imperial examination.

People from the Ministry of Justice went to search and found a secret box behind a painting in Mei Longgang's study. Inside the box was a complete set of test papers and two hundred thousand taels of silver notes.

The evidence is solid, and because it was said by Mei Longgang's daughter's fiancé, it lends it a degree of credibility.

Mei Longgang was shocked and cried out that he was innocent, but the test papers and banknotes were in front of him, and his daughter's fiancé testified confidently, so he had no way to defend himself and was soon sentenced to death. His wife and daughters were all sent to the official brothel to become prostitutes, including Mei Longgang's eldest daughter, Mei Lingyue.

Zhao Yuanqing was not aware of the entanglement between them. She was still young at that time. She only remembered that Zhang Yinhang was a controversial person in the court. Even her mother had talked about him to people around her when no one was around.

Some people say that he betrayed his future father-in-law, while others say that he is upright and considerate, and is a role model for officials. If every official is as upright and selfless as him, then the world will be peaceful.

As time went by, the second statement prevailed. Since then, Zhang Yinhang has risen rapidly and was promoted several times. Now, at the age of thirty, he is already the fourth rank Zhongshu Shilang.

In addition, Zhang Yinhang later married the daughter of the Minister of Rites. Under the protection of his wife's family, his future was bright.

Zhao Yuanqing came back to his senses and asked, "Who are you?"

"Princess, I am Mei Longgang's youngest daughter. My name is Mei Yingying. You may not remember me. I am 15 years old this year. I was 6 years old when the accident happened."

Zhao Yuanqing had little impression of her, but he had some impression of Mei Lingyue.

Mei Lingyue was beautiful, dignified and virtuous, and her father was the prince's tutor. She was the dream daughter-in-law of many noble ladies in Chang'an City. The queen said at the time that if Mei Lingyue was not a few years older than the prince, it would be unsuitable, and she would have been betrothed to the prince.

Later, Mei Lingyue and Zhang Yinhang got engaged. Zhang Yinhang was good-looking and had a good family background. People said that the two were a match made in heaven. However, when they encountered this kind of thing later, it was also fate.

It would be strange if anything good could happen if she was assigned to a place like the official brothel. Mei Lingyue was not seen among those official prostitutes.

"Where's your sister?"

Mei Yingying's tears began to fall again. "Princess, after we were taken to the official brothel, Zhang Yinhang came and called my sister out. That night, my sister sat alone for half the night, mumbling to herself. A few days later, she committed suicide! Wuuuuuuu!"

Mei Yingying started crying again, "My mother and grandmother were very sad. They couldn't stand the life in the official brothel. Someone dragged them out and humiliated them. My mother...my mother hit her head against the wall and died!

My grandmother was old and I was young, and there was no man to watch over us. My grandmother reluctantly raised me. Later, when I was ten years old, I was dragged out to entertain customers. My grandmother tried to stop them and was pushed to the ground and broke her bones. Not long after, she died of grief, wuwuwu..."

It's so sad to talk about it. Mei Yingying couldn't help crying when she thought of her deceased relatives.

Zhao Yuanqing did not interrupt her and listened to her crying quietly. No one present knew better than her what this official prostitute camp was. For women, it was hell.

Zhao Yuanqing was unfamiliar with Mei Yingying, but she had met Mei Lingyue. She had the impression that she was a virtuous and gentle woman who often smiled gently and was quite patient with her, the willful and capricious little princess.

Mei Yingying can be considered as the sister of an old friend.

After a long while, Zhao Yuanqing asked, "What do you want to do with me? If you don't want to be a courtesan, I can find you something else to do to make your life easier."
