The Wei Yong family almost blurted out this sentence, and their always perfect model of court etiquette almost failed.
It was her remaining sense that reminded her, and she swallowed those words abruptly.
But her eyes were full of doubts, and the look she looked at He Tiantian was full of incomprehension——
You fool!
He seems to be quite clever at ordinary times, and he has an unparalleled desire for power.
Such a good opportunity was placed in front of her, and even though there was conspiracy and calculation in it, the result was what she had dreamed of.
As long as she follows the advice of the Wei Yong family, she doesn't need to say much, just acquiesce, and she will gain glory and wealth that ordinary people can't achieve in their lifetime.
That is Prince Qi's Mansion, and that is Princess Yongping who is not a princess but is more noble than a princess.
How could she, a girl from a mountain village who shamelessly made friends everywhere in order to stay in the Hou Mansion, be willing to refuse such a God-given opportunity?
The minds of Wei Yong's family were almost flooded with these words.
Even though she had thought about various possibilities, she never expected that "He Dian" would have such a reaction.
No doubts, no hesitations, no surprises, just a rejection!
This this--
Let alone the Wei Yong family, even Ma, who was hiding outside the window and eavesdropping, was also greatly surprised.
What surprised her was not that "He Dian" directly denied what the Wei Yong family said, but that she suddenly discovered that the plot she was familiar with did not seem to be what it seemed on the surface.
He Dian is actually not a real daughter?
So what about the plot of the big reveal of life described in the original script?
Is it just a hoax concocted by the two women in the house?!
Ma guessed this possibility and couldn't help but take a deep breath——
How dare they?
Where did they borrow the courage to actually come to the house and deceive the majestic Prince Qi?
Confusing the real with the fake, referring to a deer as a horse, and confusing the royal bloodline.
They, they——
Ma didn't even know what words to use to describe it.
In the book, the world traveled many times, and she experienced ancient times, fictional dynasties and other dynasties.
Therefore, she does not have the innocence and confidence of a time traveler, and knows that the ancients are not easy to deceive.
The ancient world was full of rules and etiquette, and the class differences between people were like chasms and chasms.
However, Ma Shi never expected that such ancient people who followed the rules would be more daring and reckless than the people of later generations.
How dare you make such a ridiculous and bold scam!
The key is, they succeeded in the end.
Princess Qi believed in the so-called "civet cat for prince" and recognized He Dian as her biological daughter.
Princess Yongping, who was pampered and pampered and grew up in a noble family, became an "adopted daughter" overnight.
Although she is still living in the palace, she has not been deprived of her title of princess.
But her status has plummeted. She can no longer be as arrogant and domineering as in the past, but has become a cautious and submissive little pitiful person!
Uh... thinking of this plot in the original script, instead of sympathizing with Princess Yongping, Ma felt inexplicably very happy.
Should!
Who told Princess Yongping to be too arrogant and domineering in the past?
It is really satisfying to have such a big shot in the clouds suddenly lose his arrogance and domineering capital and fall directly into the dust, even if it is a scam!
Ma shook his head, feeling that his three views were a bit dangerous.
No matter how bad Princess Yongping is, she will not be plotted by innocent people, and even her life experience will be confused.
Her attention was drawn back to the two people in the room——
"He Dian's" reaction was beyond Ma's expectations.
She didn't know whether in the original script, He Dian directly denied it after hearing about her life experience.
However, He Dian could still maintain a minimum of composure when faced with the temptation of the only legitimate daughter of the powerful Prince Qi. This alone was enough to make Ma family pay attention.
Is He Dian's refusal because she is too timid and does not dare to scheme against the dignified Prince Qi? Or does she still have a trace of conscience and is unwilling to confuse the fake with the real?
Or maybe He Dian didn't know the hidden secrets of certain things and was convinced of her identity as the daughter of Orion, so then——
"Girl, listen to this old slave, you are really Princess Qi's only biological daughter!"
While Ma was thinking secretly, the Wei Yong family had adjusted their emotions and continued to act in front of He Tiantian.
She squeezed out a few tears of guilt and said with choked sobs: "Back then, I was assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to work as an errand in Prince Qi's Mansion, and I worked as a maid beside Princess Qi."
"In the year you were born, King Zhao and King Yan rebelled, and the capital was reduced to chaos!"
"The princess was about to give birth, but there were soldiers from the two kings outside the palace besieging her. For the sake of the princess and the child in her belly, King Qi ordered people to quietly send the princess out."
"What a coincidence, I am among the accompanying people."
"It's just that the prince thought that the palace was dangerous, but he ignored that the capital was even more dangerous."
"As soon as the carriage came out of the back door, the guards were entangled by the mob. The nuns and maids who were accompanying them were also dispersed by the mob!"
"...In the end, I was the only one guarding the princess."
Looking back on this past, Wei Yong's family has long since lost any lingering fear, only nostalgia and wistfulness remain.
"I was young and had never been out, but with a lot of energy, I drove a carriage out of the city gate and arrived at a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city!"
"There are several families taking refuge in the ruined temple——"
Speaking of this, Wei Yong's family glanced at He Tiantian deliberately.
He Tiantian:......
Well, she remembered that the original owner's father, a hunter, once visited the capital when he was young.
This is something that the original owner has always been proud of - my father is not an inexperienced mountain hunter. When he was young, he also made his fortune in the capital.
In order to maintain the character of the original owner, and of course for "fishing", He Tiantian also showed off to others after arriving at the Nanning Marquis Mansion.
It was a coincidence that the year the original owner came to the capital, the "Two Kings Rebellion" happened.
"The princess tried her best to give birth to a baby girl with difficulty. She fainted without even looking at it."
"When I looked at the newly born little noble girl, I felt strong jealousy and resentment in my heart. Why are we all human beings? Some people are born with golden branches and beautiful leaves, while others have to be slaves and maids?"
"It happened that the pregnant woman on the other side also gave birth and gave birth to a baby girl. However, the family was too poor and happened to be on the run. When they saw that it was a girl, they took her to the mountain behind the temple and threw her away!"
"...I, I don't know what I was thinking at that time. In a moment of impulse, I actually secretly carried the baby girl back, put her next to the princess, and then threw the baby girl born to the princess outside the ruined temple -
—”
Wei Yong's eyes burst out with a crazy light, but the madness disappeared in a flash.
Soon, she returned to her well-behaved and dignified appearance, with a deliberately guilty and remorseful look on her face.
"I was wrong! I, I was really wrong. The princess has always treated me very well, but I did the wrong thing because of my confusion!"
"I have been repenting all these years. After returning to Beijing, I secretly ordered people to search around that ruined temple countless times, but nothing was found!"
"...until this year, I saw you, girl, you didn't know that you look almost exactly the same as the princess when you were young! Anyone who sees you will think that you are the princess's biological daughter!"
Wei Yong's family finished telling the story of the past with nine points of truth and one point of lies, and then looked at He Tiantian with sincere eyes, "Girl, I didn't lie. You are really the princess's biological daughter."
"That Princess Yongping in the palace is just a bastard whom I replaced who doesn't even want her biological parents!"
When the word "bastard" was spoken, Wei Yong's teeth clenched extremely tightly.
"You hate Princess Qi, and you hate Princess Yongping even more!"
He Tiantian was not confused by Wei Yong's performance, but calmly hit the nail on the head.
Before, He Tiantian was still doubting that the "real and fake daughter" was just the courage of Wei Yong's family, and they planned to conquer the palace for the sake of glory and wealth.
However, some things still don't make sense. Being bold does not mean that you really dare to do the big thing of "killing everyone".
He Tiantian thought that there must be some unknown connection between Wei Yong's family and Prince Qi's palace.
Now, after seeing Wei Yong's family's acting with her own eyes, He Tiantian keenly caught the various micro-expressions of Wei Yong's family, and she had a guess in her mind.
The emotions that Wei Yong's family had finally stirred up suddenly froze. She quickly shook her head, "No! No! How could I hate the princess?"
"And Princess Yongping, me, when I left the palace, she was only two years old and still a naive child. What kind of grudges will there be between me and her?"
He Tiantian still didn't believe the Wei Yong family's excuse. She looked straight at this well-behaved retired old palace maid and said, "You must have made a mistake when you left Prince Qi's Mansion and were kicked out by the princess, right?"
Wei Yong's family was stabbed in a sore spot, and a flash of resentment quickly flashed in his eyes.
He Tiantian captured it again.
Tsk, she was indeed right.
"No! I, I was not kicked out of Prince Qi's Mansion!" The Wei Yong family refused to admit it.
However, He Tiantian continued to reveal her disguise, "If you had not made a mistake and were kicked out of the palace, why did you end up working as an errand in the palace of an unpopular county prince from the palace of a dignified prince?"
"Don't say anything. If you really make a mistake, you will be sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs by the princess!"
"I haven't forgotten that you just said that during the Rebellion between the Two Kings, you alone stood in front of the princess who was about to give birth and protected her mother and daughter!"
This can be considered a great achievement.
Princess Qi saw that the protector of Wei Yong's family had done a good job and would remember her as a favor.
Therefore, when Wei Yong's family made a mistake, the princess spared her efforts and only sent her out of Princess Qi instead of sending her back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for punishment.
"Princess Qi cared about your role as protector of the Lord, so she did not drive you out to death. She also left you with some dignity, so that you can work as an errand in the Prince's Mansion of Yongchang County as Princess Qi's maid!"
He Tiantian looked at Wei Yong's family and said coldly, "Princess Qi probably never thought in her dreams that she would let a poisonous snake escape despite being kind--"
Maybe He Tiantian guessed the truth directly, or maybe He Tiantian's words were too unpleasant.
The last trace of reason in Wei Yong's family has also disappeared, and her charming eyes are full of resentment, "Nonsense! You are talking nonsense!"
"That bitch Pingkang is not a kind person, and I, I am not a poisonous snake!"
"I saved her. In the middle of the chaos and in the wilderness, if it hadn't been for me, mother and daughter would have been robbed by the mob or fed to the wolves!"
"As it turns out, I just fell in love with the palace guard. When Pingkang found out, he failed to fulfill his promise. Instead, he let the prince punish him with a stick and even kicked me out of the palace under false pretenses!"
"My brother Alang, he was seriously injured and died in the end. As for me, I was miserable alone, with nowhere to go, and was almost bullied by gangsters..."
He Tiantian: ...did you hear that? This is the best brain circuit.
She made a mistake and was punished. Instead of blaming herself, she blamed others for not being kind enough or generous enough to tolerate all her faults.
If you really like escorting and want to spend the night with him, just tell the princess directly.
He Tiantian felt that Princess Qi was doing it for no other reason than to fulfill her original role in protecting the Lord, and she would also make a pair of little mandarin ducks happy.
Wei Yong's family just didn't say anything, but secretly had an affair with the guards in the palace, and they probably got caught.
No matter how kind and generous Princess Qi is, she is still the mistress of the palace, and she must uphold the rules and reputation of the palace.
He just found an excuse to beat the guards, he didn't beat up Wei Yong's family, and he didn't send anyone to be punished. He just expelled him. He Tiantian felt that Princess Qi had already taken into account the feelings of the past!
It's a pity that I met such a great person from Wei Yong's family.
As for Princess Yongning, well, even though He Tiantian has just arrived in the capital not long ago, he has also heard about many of her deeds——
Arrogant and domineering, coquettish and willful.
Even if a lady from an official family offended her, she would whip her in public.
Not to mention the common people in Shengdou and even the humble slaves.
Perhaps Wei Yong's family or her family had been bullied by Princess Yongning.
The old and new grudges were all recorded in Wei Yong's family.
In the past, she had no way to "retaliate" to Prince Qi's Mansion. When she saw "He Dian" who looked very much like Princess Qi, Wei Yong's family suddenly had an idea and hatched such a vicious plan.
Not only did she take revenge on Princess Qi and her daughter, she also gained glory and wealth for herself.
Absolutely kill two birds with one stone.
Wei Yong's family has taken everything into account, except for one thing -
He Tiantian is not the original owner. She will not be dazzled by wealth and then make a big mistake of deceiving him.
"No! It's not like that. This, this is all nonsense from me!"
After venting a bit, the Wei Yong family realized that they had lost their composure and blurted out many secrets.
She quickly calmed down her emotions and tried to cover it up with jokes, "Girl, listen to me, you are really Princess Qi's biological daughter!"
"Princess Qi, she is the only daughter of Princess Anle and the most beloved cousin of the current emperor. I heard that the emperor wants to adopt her son as the crown prince——"
This is the most noble place in Prince Qi's palace. Today, the emperor has no children and can only adopt the family.
Since King Qi is the emperor's biological brother, and Princess Qi is the daughter of the eldest princess who is kind to the emperor, their son is the most suitable heir.
Once Princess Qi's son becomes the prince, Princess Qi will become as noble a figure as the Queen Mother.
Her daughter does not have the title of princess, but she has power and honor that exceeds that of a princess...
