My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

Xiao Yuche's hands suddenly stopped, his eyes met Zhao Ping, he pointed at himself and asked:

"Do you know this prince?"

When Zhao Ping heard the tone, he knew that he had recognized the person correctly. The child in front of him was indeed the one in the palace.

Without time to think, he suddenly knelt down towards Xiao Yuche with his fists clasped. "I am late in coming to your rescue. I beg Your Highness to forgive me!"

Zhao Ping had the good fortune to see Xiao Yuche from a distance once before when he followed the prefect into the palace, so he secretly memorized the prince's appearance.

I didn't expect that today would be the day for him to succeed and save the prince. This is a tremendous achievement.

His companion, Zhao Da, hadn't reacted until Zhao Ping pulled him aside. Then he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, saying with deep fear, "I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

When everyone saw this, they were collectively petrified at that moment!

It was as if fireworks were exploding in my mind, shocking me so much that I was burnt on the outside but tender on the inside.

No way? This kid is actually the crown prince?

What he said before was actually true?

But I actually questioned him and made sarcastic remarks. It's over, it's over!

The next second, someone took the lead and knelt on the ground like Zhao Ping and the others, saluting to Xiao Yuche.

"I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Immediately afterwards, people knelt down on the ground, all shouting "Greetings to the Crown Prince."

The only exception is Qiu Ning.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuche finally let go of his nervous heart. He seemed to have returned to his former high-spirited self, and waved his hand generously to everyone and said:

"Ignorance is not a crime, all of you get up!"

Everyone stood up, except Zhang Ergou and his wife who were tied to the ground.

Xiao Yuche glanced at the two of them again, his tone was unprecedentedly stern:

"Come on, tie these two up and send them to Jingzhao Yin immediately. They actually lied and claimed to be the prince's parents. They're so bold!"

When Zhao Ping and Zhao Da heard this, their eyes widened and they shot towards Zhang Ergou and his wife on the ground like sharp blades.

Zhao Ping even drew his sword and pressed it against Zhang Ergou's face, scolding him, "How dare you rebel against your superiors by kidnapping and selling the crown prince? What is your punishment?"

As Zhao Ping finished speaking, Zhang Ergou and his wife immediately turned into a puddle of mud, and were so scared that they lost control of their bladders in public.

"Please spare my life, my lord, please spare my life. I was blind and didn't recognize the real man. Please be magnanimous and let me go. I promise I will never dare to do that again..."

However, at this moment, the people around began to discuss indignantly.

"What? These two black-hearted bastards are actually human traffickers. Damn it! They deserve to be hacked into pieces."

"That's right. Now that he's been caught, let's see if he dares to cause trouble again."

Finally, Zhang Ergou and his wife were sent to the government office and sentenced to death by slow slicing, along with the extermination of their entire clan.

……

At the same time, Fengxiang Palace.

Empress Guo had just gotten up and finished her breakfast with the help of the palace maids when she heard the palace maids come to report that Guo Yian was waiting outside for an audience.

A look of surprise flashed across the queen's graceful face.

This younger brother of mine never comes to the palace unless there is something important. Even when I asked him to teach Che'er martial arts, I had to coax him into the palace with great difficulty. Why did he suddenly come to see me at this time?

Despite her thoughts, the queen still ordered the palace maid to take the person to the side hall and treat him well.

After a while, the Queen came in through the curtain and saw Guo Yian sitting on a chair with a majestic appearance.

"How come you have time to come to the palace today, brother? But what happened with Che'er?" The queen started to greet them as soon as they met.

Guo Yian first stood up and saluted, then said, "Your Majesty, I have come here to report something."

After Guo Yian finished speaking, he looked at the palace maids around him.

The queen understood and immediately raised her hand, asking everyone to leave and no one was allowed to approach the side hall.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Immediately afterwards, Guo Yian took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to the queen.

"Sister, why don't you take a look at these poems first?"

The queen took the booklet doubtfully and looked through it carefully.

The first thing that caught my eye was the poem "Ode to the Goose": Goose, goose, goose, their necks curved to the sky, singing. Their white feathers float on the green water, their red feet paddling the clear waves.

Seeing this, the Queen's eyes lit up and she asked, "It seems that you have made great progress in poetry recently. Although this poem seems simple and easy to understand, it is not easy to write."

Guo Yian just smiled and said nothing. The queen turned the page again and this time it said "Spring Dawn".

I sleep through the spring night, hearing birdsong everywhere. The sound of wind and rain at night, how many flowers have fallen?

The queen savored the charm of the poem carefully again. The more she savored it, the more she felt that this poem was truly a masterpiece. The language was simple and easy to understand, natural and spontaneous, but the artistic conception was profound and far-reaching.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked in surprise, "Brother, where did this poem come from? Why have I never heard of it before?"

The queen knew that her younger brother only liked to wield swords and guns and had no interest in poetry.

Moreover, Guo Yian simply cannot produce a masterpiece like this.

Guo Yian gestured for her to continue reading, and then she read several poems such as "Quiet Night Thoughts" and "Children Fishing". Without exception, all of them had profound artistic conception and were easy to remember.

After reading it, the Queen's eyes also flashed with surprise, and she asked anxiously: "Brother, judging from the style of these poems, it seems that they were not written by one person. Which one is this?"

Guo Yian put down the teacup in his hand, bowed to the Queen, and said, "Sister, these poems were written by a remarkable woman. She is not only proficient in music, but also very skilled in poetry. These poems were prepared for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help him show his prowess in front of the Chu State delegation. What do you think, Sister?"

When the queen heard this, her eyes suddenly widened and a look of unexpected surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Really? There is such a wonderful woman in this world?"

After a brief moment of confusion, she seemed to suddenly think of something and turned to look at Guo Yian with an inquiring look in her eyes.

"This extraordinary woman that my brother is talking about must be an extraordinary beauty."

Her brother knew that if someone was average looking, no matter how talented they were, he would not be interested in them. To be admired so highly by him, someone must have something extraordinary.

Thinking of this, the Queen became somewhat interested and asked, "You are already quite old. Mother has come to the palace several times to complain to me about your marriage. Brother, if you are really interested in this girl, why not find a time to bring her to the palace and let me help you choose her?"

The queen naturally ignored Liu Qingqing's identity, because she never thought that her brother, a general who held an important position in the court, would fall in love with a prostitute.

Guo Yian paused for two seconds, took a deep breath, and said, "Given her current status, I'm afraid she can't enter the palace to meet the emperor."

The Queen frowned slightly, "Why is that? Could it be that the woman's status is very low?"

"That's not a big deal. As long as his father holds a position of some kind in the court, I can make the decision for you. If that doesn't work out, I can just take her as a concubine. I can then find you a gentle and graceful woman from an aristocratic family to be your legal wife."

In the eyes of the queen, even if it is her own brother, the marriage must be beneficial to herself and the prince. Otherwise, a woman of too low status cannot be the wife.

However, who would have thought that the next second, what Guo Yian said made the queen stunned on the spot.
