After rebirth, she remarried the crazy-criticizing emperor's uncle: she doted on him to the bon

"The rumors are indeed true. Miss Wu's appearance is truly rare in the world."

"My Lady, appearance is but a shell. Everyone grows old and loses their beauty. Who knows what this shell will look like in a few decades?"

Wu Qingyue's words touched Zhou Yurou's sore spot.

She is now over 40 years old, and if you look closely you can see fine lines at the corners of her eyes; she is very concerned about aging, and Wu Qingyue's words undoubtedly exposed her scars.

"Miss Wu, do you mean you don't like your own appearance?"

"Your Majesty, of course I like it. My body and hair are inherited from my parents. No matter what kind of appearance they give me, I like it."

"This child is a man of his own ideas."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

"I see Miss Wu is about the same age as Heng'er. I wonder if Miss Wu has promised to marry?"

Wu Qingyue remained silent.

Wu Chiwei replied, "Your Majesty, my daughter has never been married."

"In that case...why not give Miss Wu to Heng'er as the Crown Princess?" Zhou Yurou said.

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding environment immediately became quiet. Various gazes were cast on her, some unhappy, some excited, and some resentful.

"this......"

Wu Chiwei was a little embarrassed.

If this had happened before, he might have been very happy that Yue'er could become the Crown Princess; but ever since the incident between the Crown Prince and Shuang'er, he knew that the Crown Prince was definitely not a good man, and he naturally didn't want to push his daughter to such a man.

"My lady, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"Lord Wu, are you rejecting me?" Zhou Yurou said unhappily.

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"only......"

"It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already secretly married my sister and has pledged to spend their lives together. Naturally, I will not steal their love and break up their marriage." Wu Qingyue said loudly.

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere became even quieter.

The affair between Xiao Muheng and Wu Yinshuang was known only to those who were present at the time. Due to Xiao Muheng's status as the crown prince, no one was smart enough to tell anyone about it. Now that Wu Qingyue had laid it out "nakedly" on the table, those who didn't know the inside story pricked up their ears and were eager to "listen".

"Oh? How come I didn't know that Lord Wu has a daughter?"

"To answer your Majesty, she is my father's adopted daughter, who has been raised in the Marquis's Mansion."

Goddaughter?

How can the identity of a mere adopted daughter be compared with that of a legitimate daughter?

"Nonsense!" Zhou Yurou scolded, "The Crown Prince's marriage is a matter of national importance. How can you say such nonsense?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is not just a rumor from me. It is a real fact. If you don't believe me, just ask His Highness."

"Heng'er, is what she said true?"

Xiao Muheng, who was named, knew he couldn't escape, so he had to tell the truth: "My mother, what Miss Wu said is true. But..."

"absurd!"

The queen was completely furious now!

"She's an adopted daughter, is she worthy?"

Zhou Yurou's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Wu Yinshuang's heart.

She thought that she could rest easy after marrying into the prince's family, but she didn't expect that entering the prince's mansion would not be so easy.

What she hated most was that she was just the daughter of the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion. Although Wu Chiwei adopted her as his goddaughter, her identity as the "adopted daughter of the Marquis' Mansion" was still "not worthy of being in the upper class."

Wu Qingyue's lips curled up slightly: This is exactly the result she wanted.

"Your Highness and my sister are truly in love. Why don't you, Queen, make this a happy marriage?"

"I will not allow my adopted daughter of lowly status to become Heng'er's Crown Princess!"

"Mother," Xiao Muheng said quickly, "My Crown Princess must naturally come from a prominent family. As for Shuang'er...I just want to give her the title of a concubine."

The Crown Prince of the Xiao Kingdom actually asked for a concubine in public?

Or in front of the emperor, empress and all the civil and military officials?

Zhou Yurou was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe!

"Shut up!"

"Mother, calm down!"

Xiao Muheng panicked.

"Master Wu, you are truly a well-educated 'daughter'. How dare you seduce the Crown Prince?"

"My lady..."

At this moment, a charming figure flashed out and knelt on the ground with a plop. "Empress, this matter has nothing to do with godfather. It was because your highness and Shuang'er fell in love at first sight and were in love with each other. That's why... please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Zhou Yurou glanced coldly at Wu Yinshuang: "Are you the adopted daughter of the Marquis' Mansion?"

"To answer your Majesty, it is my daughter."

She is quite pretty, no wonder Heng'er is fascinated by her.

"What's your name?"

"My lady, my daughter's name is Wu Yinshuang."

"Wu Yinshuang, do you know that seducing the Crown Prince is a capital crime?"

"Your Highness!" Wu Yinshuang panicked. "I didn't seduce His Highness! His Highness and I are in love. If Your Highness doesn't like me, as long as Your Highness is willing for me to stay by His Highness's side, I would rather give up my status and just be a palace maid to serve His Highness. Yinshuang is willing to do that!"

"Shuang'er..." Xiao Muheng was a little moved when he heard her say that.

"Your Highness." Wu Yin's eyes were filled with tears, like a pitiful "little rabbit".

"Mother." Xiao Muheng looked at the queen.

Zhou Yurou was angry, but she knew that now was not the time to pursue the matter.

"Since Heng'er likes it, just take it."

Wu Yinshuang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Fortunately, she won the bet.

"Since you are Lord Wu's adopted daughter, for Lord Wu's sake, I will naturally not let you become the lowest maid in the East Palace. So, as Heng'er said before, I will give you the status of a concubine."

"Yinshuang thanks Her Majesty the Queen for her help."

"Thank you, mother."

"As for Miss Wu——"

Zhou Yurou returned her gaze to the woman who was "watching the show": "Miss Wu, I'm determined to be the Crown Princess."

Wu Qingyue quietly rolled her eyes: This ambitious old woman, it seems she hasn't given up on her yet!

In her previous life, when Zhou Yurou appointed her to be the Crown Princess, she thought Zhou Yurou really liked her. Later, she found out that Zhou Yurou was only interested in the strength of the Wu family behind her. She wanted to win over her father through her to consolidate Prince Xiao Muheng's position as the Crown Prince.

Do you still want to use her in this life?

I don't think about it!

"Your Majesty, I have vowed since childhood: I will never share a husband with anyone else! The man I will seek in the future will be one who loves only me. 'I wish to win the heart of one person and stay together until we grow old together.' Your Highness the Crown Prince is of noble status, and I know I cannot reach his level. Please reconsider."
