Of course, Xiao Ziran didn't know these things.

But the Imperial Concubine Xiao Jin knew something.

After all, as the most favored person in Emperor Showa's harem, the younger brother of the late Emperor Zhaoxian, and the co-empress, he holds the seal of the emperor and has overall power in the harem, so he is the most well-informed.

As one of the top ten imperial merchants, the Xiao family was engaged in the business of silk and satin, and every year they paid tribute of 100,000 pieces of the best fabrics to the royal family. Most of the clothes worn by the masters in the palace were tributed by the Xiao family.

In order to show their loyalty, the Xiao family would send people to the palace.

Originally, the Xiao family had sent someone to the Emperor Showa's harem. The person was the half-brother of the head of the Xiao family, and was sent to the palace as the legitimate son.

Unfortunately, she was unlucky. Although she was favored for a few days, she was lucky enough to have a child. However, she had a difficult labor and both father and daughter died.

The Xiao family head had only one son in his generation, and he died later, so there was one less person who had a say in the palace.

The head of the Xiao family had no choice but to wait until his son grew up and then send him to the palace to express his loyalty to Emperor Showa.

The royal wife Xiao Jin quickly remembered which family the Xiao family was.

His eyes flickered, and he whispered to Emperor Zhaohe: "Your Majesty, the imperial merchant Xiao family pays tribute of silk and satin every year, and all the officials like it very much."

In a world where women are dominant, the men in the harem are very particular about how they refer to themselves. For example, a royal husband of the first rank like Xiao Jin has to call himself a minister and address himself as "this concubine" to the servants.

Any man who had slept with Emperor Showa could call himself a minister.

Those above the third rank call themselves "Ben Gong" when talking to their servants, while those below the fourth rank call themselves "Ben Shi" when talking to their servants.

The male relatives of the royal family and the relatives of foreign officials all called themselves "servants" or "captive servants."

As for the palace men, they called themselves captive servants.

Emperor Showa was in charge of the huge Qinglan Dynasty and was very busy. Besides, there was no one in the Xiao family to whisper in his ear. If Xiao Jin hadn't reminded her, she would not have been able to remember which Xiao family it was.

When the Imperial Concubine Xiao Jin reminded Emperor Showa, Zhong Ruhuang's mind was also spinning rapidly to recall which family the Xiao family was.

Fortunately, after she traveled through time, although she didn't have any golden fingers, perhaps because she was struck by lightning, her memory was very good, and she quickly remembered which Xiao family it was.

When Zhong Ruhuang remembered who the Xiao family was, she took a deep breath.

Zhong Ruhuang remembered clearly which families the men in Emperor Showa's harem came from and what their identities were. She also knew that many years ago, a man from the Xiao family died and two people were killed in the harem.

She glanced at the extremely handsome Xiao Ziran again and felt that she was really in big trouble this time.

Before knowing Xiao Ziran's identity, Zhong Ruhuang thought that she had just slept with a man. Since ancient times, heroic women were all romantic, and the most she had to do was kneel down.

Anyway, she was immune to all poisons, and the medicine was not a poison. Her body was not immune to the medicine, so she took the opportunity to sleep with Xiao Ziran.

After knowing Xiao Ziran's identity, Zhong Ruhuang felt something was wrong.

She just appears to be ordinary to the outside world, which doesn't mean she is really brainless.

It was obvious that Xiao Ziran was the man that the Xiao family had originally intended to give to Emperor Showa, but now he had been slept with by her.

Zhong Ruhuang only had a few vague memories of sleeping with Xiao Ziran, but she was certain that she had been opened.

Women in a world where women are superior are all naturally knowledgeable about sex.

When Zhong Ruhuang realized that something was wrong, Emperor Showa's face had already turned dark.

She remembered one thing. Some time ago, the head of the Xiao family did write to her, saying that he wanted to send someone to her harem.

The imperial wife Xiao Jin seemed to want to bury Zhong Ruhuang in a pit and was adding fuel to the fire.

"If I remember correctly, the Xiao family has two sons, one is just the right age, and the other is only ten years old..."

This statement indirectly confirmed Zhong Ruhuang's guess and made Emperor Showa's face even darker.

My own reserve man was slept with by my own daughter!

The son of an imperial merchant was originally not qualified to be the legal husband of the imperial princess, but wasn't Emperor Showa angry at this moment?

"Pass on my oral order. Xiao family son grants the fifth princess as her legal husband. The marriage must be completed within one month."

After saying this, Emperor Showa left angrily. At the same time, two guards came over and took Zhong Ruhuang to kneel down as punishment.

As for Xiao Ziran, he was sent back to the Xiao family by someone arranged by the imperial wife Xiao Jin.

Those who came to watch the fun were all men from Emperor Showa's harem, and now they all left feeling very satisfied.

It was not until she knelt outside the Xuan Zheng Hall that Zhong Ruhuang's drunken mind gradually became clear.

She realized belatedly that she had been framed.

I just don’t know who framed her, or which wicked sister of hers it was.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen.

She is just a powerless princess, far less powerful than her sisters.

She doesn't even have a paternal family.

From childhood to adulthood, she was really ordinary. Apart from having an outstanding face, there were no other advantages.

Or was there something she didn't know?

Judging from the words and actions of the imperial wife Xiao Jin, it was also very suspicious, and she was clearly trying to trick her.

Originally, she would just be punished to kneel, and even if she was responsible to Xiao Ziran, she would not be given the position of legal husband.

Zhong Ruhuang recalled the events of the recent period in her mind, but no matter how hard she tried, she still had no clues.

Compared with her sisters, her foundation was too weak, she had few available people, she was relatively isolated from the news, and she lived in the Imperial Daughters' Residence, so she was seriously behind in the news from the outside world.

So, what was it that she didn't know?

Why did the imperial husband Xiao Jin want to deceive her?

You have to know that the Imperial Noble Consort Xiao Jin has been in the palace for more than ten years. As soon as he entered the palace, he took charge of the harem and treated all the princesses equally. In addition, he himself also had the sixth princess, Zhong Qihuang.

He has his own biological children, so even if he wants to suppress the princess, he shouldn't do anything to her.

It is true that Zhong Ruhuang is the fifth princess, but she is only one month older than the sixth princess, and both of them are fifteen years old.

The only princesses of the same age in the palace were Zhong Ruhuang and Zhong Qihuang. Even if they left the palace to set up their own residences, they would go together. Zhong Ruhuang even had to rely on Zhong Qihuang's help.

and many more!

The same age?

Zhong Ruhuang only felt that there was a fog covering her eyes, making her unable to figure out the reason.

What if it was the Imperial Noble Consort Xiao Jin who wanted to fight for the throne for the Sixth Princess?

This guess popped up in Zhong Ruhuang's mind.

impossible!

Zhong Ruhuang denied it directly in her heart.

Even though Xiao Jin was the Imperial Noble and held great power in the harem, he was just a substitute for Emperor Zhaoxian.

The six princesses he had were not as good as the two daughters and one son born to Emperor Zhaoxian.

After all, the living cannot compare to the dead.

Just look at the posthumous title of Emperor Zhaoxian and you will know it is Zhaoxian.

The word "Zhao" was taken from the title of Emperor Showa, and it was chosen by Emperor Showa himself, so it was useless even if the civil and military officials objected.

The eldest princess Zhong Sihuang, the fourth princess Zhong Chenhuang, and the eldest prince Zhong Yufeng are all legitimate children.

The eldest princess and the fourth princess were both raised by Emperor Showa himself, only the eldest prince was raised by the imperial wife, Kogane.

In addition, the fathers of the second and third princesses are not vegetarians either.
