The legitimate daughter returns, and everyone in the Marquis's mansion regrets and begs for for

The banquet was far too extravagant, far more luxurious than any party she had ever attended in modern times, which reminded her of some high-class parties in the modern world.

The emperor was dressed in a bright yellow robe, wearing a purple-gold crown, with precious jade hanging from his waist, and white brocade shoes with black patterns on his feet. He was tall, handsome, and dignified.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

After the emperor entered the imperial garden, all the court officials quickly knelt down and bowed.

The Emperor smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to rise.

"Please rise, everyone!"

After he finished speaking, he led everyone towards the banquet hall.

"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty!"

The court officials stood up, then knelt down in unison.

At this moment, the Empress entered, a smile on her face. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects!"

"Your Majesty, you may dispense with the formalities!"

The emperor said with a smile.

After the Empress expressed her gratitude, she sat down to the side.

"The main reason I've invited everyone here today is to discuss the arrangements for the Crown Prince's wedding."

The emperor said.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then began to chatter about the various trivial matters that had occurred after the Empress and the Crown Prince got married.

Su Muya sat to the side, listening with great interest.

"Today I announce that the wedding date for the Empress and the Crown Prince will be the eighth day of the seventh month, which is the fifteenth."

The Emperor spoke again.

"July 8th? So soon!"

One of the court officials sighed.

"Indeed, the Crown Prince is no longer young; it's time for him to settle down and start a family."

The Emperor said calmly.

"Then, Your Majesty, I wish you a long and healthy life."

The Empress echoed this, then looked at the Crown Prince.

"Then thank you very much, Empress Dowager and Empress Sister-in-law!"

The crown prince hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, what's the story with this Su Muya? How dare she impersonate the Crown Princess?"

Suddenly, a sarcastic voice came over.

The Emperor and Empress looked up at the same time and saw a girl in a pink dress walking over. The girl was very beautiful and charming, with a pair of phoenix eyes that sparkled as if they could bewitch people's souls.

"Su Muhan pays respects to the Crown Princess!"

Su Muya also looked at the newcomer, who was none other than the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess approached the Emperor. "Father," she said, "Su Muhan has impersonated me! This is utterly rebellious and deserves death!"

"Nonsense!"

The Emperor snorted coldly, "All of you, shut up!"

After saying that, he turned to Su Muya, "Su Muya, do you know your crime?"

"Your subject knows his crime."

Su Muya immediately lowered her head.

"Hmph, since you admit your guilt, I'll punish you with two months of confinement."

The Emperor said coldly, "If you are not satisfied, you are free to disobey the imperial decree."

"Your subject obeys!"

Su Muya bit her lip and agreed.

“Father, Su Muya impersonated me, which is a serious crime. I believe this matter should be dealt with leniently.”

Su Muhan spoke up. This Su Muya actually dared to impersonate him; she was incredibly audacious!

"If you're going to be lenient, then how do you think Su Muya should be punished? Kill her, perhaps?"

The Emperor said coldly.

"Father, I believe..."

"enough!"

The Emperor waved his hand impatiently. "This matter is settled. I will give Su Muhan two months. If he can find the true Crown Princess, I will spare him. But if he cannot, you will continue to hold the position of Crown Princess. If I find out again that you have acted on your own initiative, I will strip you of your title of Crown Prince."

"Father, please forgive me!"

The crown prince immediately knelt down and kowtowed to beg for forgiveness.

"Go down!"

The emperor waved his hand impatiently.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I take my leave."

The crown prince hurriedly left; he now wished he could tear Su Muya to pieces.

After returning to her residence, Su Muya began to straighten her clothes.

She changed into a pale yellow long dress, paired with a light blue silk sash embroidered with orchid patterns, which made her look fresh and beautiful, and her whole person became lively and agile.

Su Muya looked at herself in the mirror again and again, then nodded in satisfaction.

Su Muya walked to the dressing table and took out a bottle of pills. She had refined these pills in the modern world and bought them at a cosmetics store.

Modern people rely on cosmetics to maintain their age and appearance, but that kind of thing doesn't exist in this era. Even makeup artists use layers of chemical experiments to create solutions that can make an old man look younger, but the effects are not lasting. Moreover, there are side effects, such as causing facial sores, spots, pustules, or even skin ulcers, leading to a loss of radiance.

Therefore, Su Muya thought that if she could develop a scar removal medicine here, she could solve this problem.

She put the bottle of pills into a porcelain bottle and put it in her bosom, planning to sneak out when she had the chance to buy the pills from a clinic and then apply the ointment to her face to cover up the scar.

"Oh dear, my face!"

As soon as Su Muya put the porcelain bottle into her sleeve, she smelled a foul odor and couldn't help but sneeze.

It turned out that her breasts were exposed after she took off her outer clothes. Although it was night, her clothes were too thin, and her chest was completely exposed.

"Oh no, my clothes! What am I going to do?"

She quickly grabbed her clothes to cover her chest, then swiftly took off her shoes and socks, stepped barefoot onto the carpet, placed the porcelain vase beside the bed, closed the lid, and hid it.

Su Muya patted her chest, took a deep breath, and then slowly lay down on the bed.

Su Muya slept all day and didn't go out at all.

"Little maid, prepare hot water for me!"

The next morning, after Su Muya woke up, she spoke to the maid guarding the door.

The maid hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes, I'll go right away!"

She turned and ran towards the kitchen.

A moment later, the maid brought in a basin of water and placed it on the table. "Miss Su, please wash up!"

"Um!"

Su Muya sat in front of the dressing table, washed her face, and then began to dry her hair with a towel. Her hair was long, smooth, and shiny black, and felt incredibly soft and comfortable to the touch.

Su Muya threw the towel into the wooden tub, then picked up a comb, pinned her hair up at the back of her head, and inserted a jade hairpin before leaving the house satisfied.

In the courtyard, the maids were pruning the flowers.

"Oh, Miss Su, what brings you here?"

"Yes, are you going out shopping today?"

Su Muya smiled and nodded. "Yes, I want to eat osmanthus cake. Can you make it?"

"Of course, I'll tell the kitchen to make it right away."

One of the maids exclaimed excitedly.

"Alright, then I'll go for a walk in the garden first. You all get busy with your work!"

"Alright, take care on your journey, and don't forget to lead the way!"

"knew!"

Su Muya walked out of the courtyard and came to the pavilion next to the lotus pond.
