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

As soon as she returned to the palace, someone came to summon Zhao Yuanqing, saying that the emperor wanted to see her. It was most likely that Zhao Baozhu had reported her.

Zhao Yuanqing went to Yanying Hall. Sitting at the top was Emperor Zhao Guangjin, and on the left was Empress Liu Jun. On the right sat Concubine Hui Yao Qianqin, and Zhao Baozhu stood next to her with her hair still messy.

Cui Hao was standing below the palace. He looked even worse, his face red and swollen, like a pig's head.

Three years later, seeing these people again, Zhao Yuanqing felt as if she had been in another world. She bowed, "Father, Emperor, Mother, Empress."

The emperor said, "Shanzhen, do you realize your mistake?"

The emperor's voice was low and majestic, no different from the voice that had asked Zhao Yuanqing to go to Wumeng Kingdom in his previous life, just as cold-blooded and ruthless.

Zhao Yuanqing said, "I don't know what I did wrong. Please enlighten me, Father."

"Did you cause the injuries on Rongchang and Cui Hao?"

Zhao Baozhu raised her face slightly and looked at Zhao Yuanqing proudly.

Zhao Yuanqing snorted coldly, "I hurt them, how could I not know? Let them speak for themselves."

"You're still being stubborn even in front of me, Cui Hao, you go ahead and speak."

Cui Hao recounted what happened in Yuzhen Temple, focusing on Zhao Yuanqing's bad behavior and omitting his own and Zhao Baozhu's rude behavior.

The emperor said, "Shanzhen, Rongchang and Cui Hao were worried about your safety, but you hurt them. This is wrong of you."

Zhao Yuanqing walked up to Cui Hao and asked, "Did you say I hurt you?"

Cui Hao felt that no matter how brave Zhao Yuanqing was, he would not dare to act rashly in front of the emperor.

He nodded and said, "Indeed."

Zhao Yuanqing sneered, slapped Cui Hao in the face, and kicked him down five steps, saying, "Now that's what you call hurting someone!"

The emperor was furious. "Shanzhen, what are you doing? How dare you do this in front of me? How dare you!"

The emperor was furious, and the palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Concubine Hui and Zhao Baozhu looked at each other, and smiles flashed in their eyes. The more absurd Zhao Yuanqing's behavior was, the more the emperor disliked her, and the better it was for them.

The queen turned her head and looked directly at the two men. She stared at them until they lowered their heads, then she snorted and turned away.

Zhao Yuanqing said fearlessly, "Father, you all say that I injured Cui Hao. To live up to this reputation, I have no choice but to injure him in front of you. Otherwise, wouldn't I be branded as such for nothing?"

"How dare you! Rongchang and Cui Hao testified. Their faces looked like that. How could this be fake?"

"Father, you only believe the words of Rongchang and Cui Hao, but not me. I can't win over both of them with my own words, so I can only be presumptuous this once."

The emperor covered his chest and gasped, as if he was about to be angered to death by Zhao Yuanqing.

"you you you!"

Zhao Yuanqing rolled her eyes. Why was she pretending? Three years later, her mother was killed and her brother was deposed, but her father, the emperor, was still alive and well. Why was she pretending to be weak now?

"Father, it's not over yet. Rongchang said I hurt her, so I have to act it out in front of you, Father."

Before the emperor could speak, Zhao Baozhu screamed, "No!"

Concubine Hui glared at her and said, "Your Majesty, the situation was very chaotic at the time. Rongchang may have remembered it wrongly."

The Queen spoke, "Today's matter must be clarified. Rongchang, tell me yourself, did Shanzhen hurt you?"

Zhao Baozhu hesitated. If she said she was injured, what would happen if that lunatic Zhao Yuanqing beat her up again? Never mind. She could only suffer the loss today and make amends later.

She said, "I remembered it wrongly, there is no such thing."

The Queen glanced at Concubine Hui, her lips curled up, and she said, "Cui Hao, did you hear what Princess Rongchang said? Princess Shanzhen didn't hurt her, but did she hurt you?"

Cui Hao wanted to vomit blood. Wasn't it obvious? The scars on his face were proof of it! But the Queen denied it, and he had no choice but to say aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, I'm mistaken. It didn't happen."

The Queen shouted, "How dare Cui Hao criticize the princess! Someone, take him away and give him twenty lashes!"

"Ah? Queen, please spare my life!"

The emperor's face darkened. The queen and Zhao Yuanqing dared to accuse black of white in front of him. They really didn't take him seriously!

Concubine Hui tried to stop her, saying, "Your Majesty, Princess Shanzhen has already beaten Cui Hao, and he's learned his lesson. Let's just forget about it."

"Haha, Concubine Hui, if it weren't for your daughter being the target of rumors, of course you'd be able to talk without any hesitation! No, Cui Hao must be punished with twenty lashes!"

"Empress, Rongchang's eyes are still swollen. It's hard to say whether Princess Shanzhen actually did anything to her!"

The two women were like a hundred ducks, quarreling non-stop in the hall, neither of them willing to give in.

The emperor's head was buzzing when he heard this, and he slammed the dragon table, "Alright! Shut up!"

The Queen and Concubine Hui stopped and waited for the Emperor to make a decision.

The emperor did not speak for a long time. Cui Hao was a descendant of the Qinghe Cui family. Beating him would be a slap in the face of the Cui family and those aristocratic families.

These aristocratic families were tightly bound together through marriage and controlled most of the government affairs. Sometimes they even refused to give the emperor face. The emperor had long wanted to deal with them, but now was not the time to break off relations.

Zhao Yuanqing knew the emperor's thoughts very well and decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Father, this Cui Hao, relying on his origins as a Qinghe Cui, has been extremely disrespectful to me. His disrespect to me is disrespectful to you, Father, and it's the Cui family's disrespect to our royal family!"

Cui Hao felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He shouted, "Your Majesty, I never had such thoughts, and neither did my family! I am wronged!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Zhao Yuanqing up and down. There was surprise, calculation, vigilance, and displeasure in his eyes. Was this previously dull daughter resentful of Cui Hao's unrequited love, or was she suddenly smart and trying to sow discord between him and the Cui family?

But Zhao Yuanqing's words touched his heart. The emperor had suffered from these aristocratic families for a long time and had wanted to deal with them for a long time, but he never had the chance.

This Cui Hao keeps flirting with Shanzhen every day, but he's unwilling to marry her. Now he's involved with Rongchang. Does he think that just because he's from an aristocratic family, he can be picky about the princess? This is outrageous!

"Somebody come!"

"exist!"

"Cui Hao's irresponsible remarks about the princess deserve punishment, but considering his youth and inexperience, he shall be given ten strokes of the cane!"

"Yes!"

Cui Hao was dragged away and beaten with ten boards, making him scream and howl like a ghost. He never dared to be stubborn again.

Concubine Hui pretended to be dead, but the Queen refused to let her go. "Concubine Hui, Rongchang wronged Shanzhen, but he hasn't punished her yet!"

Concubine Hui wanted to vomit blood. "Queen, are you done yet? Don't you know the truth? It was your daughter who hurt my daughter! And you're still biting back!"

She turned her head, her beautiful eyes gazing at the emperor, "Your Majesty~~~"

The Emperor disappointed her. The Empress had a powerful background, so he had to retreat. "What the Empress said makes sense. Then punish Rongchang by copying the "Female Code" three times!"

"emperor--!"

The emperor ignored them and left in anger. Concubine Hui had no choice but to leave with Zhao Baozhu in anger.
