The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

"What? Did you hear that? She actually said that this poem was written by her? Isn't this just lying with open eyes?" A noble lady stood up in disbelief, her words full of dissatisfaction.

The woman next to him also looked disdainful and immediately echoed, "How shameless! This poem is clearly from a widely circulated poetry collection. How dare she claim it as her own? Isn't this clearly plagiarism? This behavior is truly shameful."

"Just now I thought that although she was a little self-righteous, she at least had some real talent and knowledge. Now it seems that she is just a plagiarist with nothing in sight. It's really shameful." Another person shook his head and sighed regretfully. His impression of this woman instantly changed from admiration to disgust.

"As the daughter of the Prime Minister, she behaves in such a despicable way. It is really despicable. It is a pity that she has such a soft and boneless appearance, but inside she actually has a hypocritical heart. What a pity, what a pity."

For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar, everyone shook their heads and sighed, expressing disappointment and dissatisfaction. The original admiration and respect for her was gone, replaced by deep disdain and contempt. Even the young masters of the noble families who had a good impression of her showed regret and disappointment on their faces.

But Qu Xinzhu was still unaware of this. He stood on the high platform, looking up proudly, looking down at everything.

Since she was far away, she thought that the crowd was excited because they were impressed by her talent and were admiring and praising her.

Feng Lanyue smiled charmingly and asked again loudly, "Ms. Qu, you said that you wrote this poem. What is the title of the poem? And when and where was it written?"

"This..." Qu Xinzhu paused, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes. Was this concubine deliberately trying to make things difficult for her? Why did she have to ask so many questions in detail? She was angry, so she casually replied, "I was drunk last night and thought that today was a flower-viewing banquet, so I combined singing and dancing to create a second creation. It was just an impromptu work. I'm sorry for making a fool of myself."

When they heard that the poem was written 'last night', everyone secretly despised it even more.

The collection of poems was spread three days ago, and the major bookstores sold out many times. Some students could not wait any longer, so they borrowed books from others at a high price and copied them by themselves. It can be said that now in the capital, anyone with a little knowledge has had the honor of reading it. However, Qu Xinzhu claimed that she wrote it after drinking last night. She is really shameless than the palace wall.

The way everyone looked at her changed again.

Feng Lanyue's smile deepened. "Oh? So it was Miss Qu who wrote this last night. I didn't know that Prime Minister Qu actually had such a talented daughter. How about I send someone to invite the Prime Minister to come and celebrate together?"

"No... no need. My father is very busy with his work. I won't disturb him with such a small matter." Qu Xinzhu refused hurriedly.

What a joke! Just because she saw that her stepfather was too busy with work to take care of such a small matter, she dared to blatantly spread rumors under the name of the eldest sister.

If the Imperial Concubine summoned him, it would be like tearing off her disguise. Her ruthless cheap father would never let her go, and her reputation would be ruined. It might even affect her marriage with Mo Li. This was something she would never allow.

Although Qu Wenshi was sitting in the crowd, she naturally heard the discussion, but she was old and didn't understand the inside story. After hearing what the Imperial Concubine said, she quickly spoke out to stop them, "Don't bother the Imperial Concubine, I will tell him after I return home."

Once that unfilial son arrives, he will definitely expose Xinzhu's identity in person, and she can't let this happen.

Wen Suhua, who was standing by, knew the harm of this very well. She wanted to stand up and pull Qu Xinzhu down, and let him explain it to everyone. However, all the nobles were sitting here, and she had no right to interrupt. She could only worry in private.

"Interesting, really interesting." Feng Lanyue looked at Old Madam Qu steadily, as if she had discovered something interesting, and chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

Qu Xinzhu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had no intention of calling her stepfather over again.

The Queen Mother is a serious and old-fashioned person who abides by the rules. Naturally, she would not allow anyone to do anything wrong in the palace, let alone pretend to be someone else under her nose.

Moreover, her old father particularly loves this collection of poems and regards it as a treasure. Yesterday, he dragged his sick body to the palace and begged Your Majesty to find the author of this collection of poems so that they could discuss it.

Her father had unilaterally regarded the author of this collection of poems as a confidant in his later years, but she had never expected that someone would dare to seize his work and claim it as their own. It was truly despicable.

She swept her solemn eyes towards the woman in white, with a hint of disgust in them, and said in a loud voice: "Today, at the flower viewing banquet, all the noble ladies took turns to perform, but there were also unscrupulous people who wanted to take others' achievements for themselves. It was really despicable..."

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Princess An Ning may have remembered it wrongly and confused the poem written by the predecessors. Please be magnanimous and give her another chance." Yan Wanyu saw that the situation was out of control. She was afraid that if Qu Xinzhu got into trouble, it would implicate her who brought her into the palace, causing her lover Qu Honglin to hate her, so she hurriedly stepped forward to plead for mercy.

Wen Suhua followed closely behind and said hurriedly, "Empress, the young lady wrote a poem after drinking last night, and her mind is not very clear. I hope you don't blame her."

"This is..." Qu Wenshi hadn't figured out what had happened yet, but when she saw Yan Wanyu and Wen Suhua both pleading for Qu Xinzhu, she immediately realized that Qu Xinzhu must have done something bad to cause the Queen's anger, and she also pleaded, "Queen, calm down. Xinzhu is still young and doesn't understand. If she has done anything to offend you, I hope you will be magnanimous and don't bother with her."

After hearing what the Queen said and seeing several people pleading for her, Qu Xinzhu finally realized something. She nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Queen, I remembered it wrong. It was because the poem I wrote last night had a similar mood, and I drank too much last night, so my mind was not completely sober, which led to such an embarrassing thing. I hope the Queen will forgive me."

As soon as she said this, most people sneered. How could anyone be convinced by such nonsense that was full of loopholes?

But there are still a few young men from aristocratic families who are willing to deceive themselves and believe her. "Women's alcohol tolerance is poor. If they drink too much, they may not be conscious. This is possible. Princess An Ning is the daughter of the Prime Minister. She is definitely not the kind of person who would plagiarize others' works and claim them as her own to gain fame and reputation."

"That's right. If you don't believe Princess An Ning, you should also believe in the Prime Minister's character. As his daughter, Princess An Ning is definitely not a plagiarist."

"We cannot simply draw conclusions about Princess An Ning's character. I hope the Empress and the Imperial Concubine will be able to see through everything and clear Princess An Ning's name after finding out the truth."

Seeing that there were still a few people willing to believe her, Qu Xinzhu felt a little relieved. In order to establish her image and get more people to help her, she decided to show weakness.

She stood against the wind, on the high platform, biting her thin lips tightly, about to cry, as stubborn as a little white flower in a storm, so strong, so distressing.

Everyone loves beauty, let alone such a beautiful woman. Gradually, some young masters from aristocratic families stood up and spoke well of her.

"Oh? So Miss Qu drank alcohol last night? No wonder." The charming woman picked out the key point, but her eyes seemed to see through her.

Qu Xinzhu's face turned pale again, and she hurriedly explained, "Yes, it was because grandma missed her hometown so much, and as her granddaughter, I couldn't bear to see her sad, so I accompanied her to drink some wine. Unfortunately, I couldn't hold my liquor, and I got drunk after two cups."

"That's right. Xinzhu drank to make me happy. Normally, this child is obedient and well-behaved and never touches such vulgar things as alcohol." Qu Wenshi quickly testified for her.

Wen Suhua also hurriedly said: "The young lady is gentle and virtuous, well-educated and well-mannered. She made mistakes while drunk, but she was also doing it to show her filial piety. I hope the Queen will not hold it against her."

Yun Cairou had long been angry with Qu Xinzhu, first because she had deceived her son by pretending to be a legitimate heir, and now she had almost ruined her flower-viewing banquet. She was furious, and how could she let her go when she got this opportunity? At this moment, she added fuel to the fire and said, "Since Princess An Ning said that this poem is similar to the one you wrote last night, I wonder if we have the blessing to see Princess An Ning's poem? See how it differs from everyone else's?"

"Yes, since Princess An Ning wrote a poem last night, don't hide it. Show it quickly so that we can all feast our eyes on it." When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. Seeing that his mother was attacking him, Mo Qingyuan vented the anger that he had been holding in his heart.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stared at the woman in white eagerly.

Qu Xinzhu had already cursed in her heart, but she suppressed her emotions and pulled the corners of her stiff mouth, "I have just consumed too much energy, and I feel unwell and extremely tired. Moreover, I am not well educated, so I can't compare to the works of the masters. I won't embarrass myself in front of everyone, let's do it another day."

Her intention to shirk responsibility was so obvious that no one believed her anymore.

"It's just writing a poem, why should I waste my energy? In my opinion, she is just making excuses and deliberately shirking responsibility. I don't know where she got the nerve to be so shameless."

"That's right. If she hadn't been exposed by the Imperial Concubine and the Queen, she would have continued to show off and not felt ashamed."

"I really didn't expect that the daughter of the Qu family would be such a person of bad character. Even if she has an extremely powerful father, how many people would dare to marry such a woman?"

Everyone was talking about it, and their words were full of ridicule and contempt for Qu Xinzhu.

At this moment, a shrill voice sounded.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent and knelt on the ground in unison.

A bright yellow figure strode over, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs.

Qu Qingyan followed behind with his head down.

"What were you talking about just now? I heard your discussion from far away." After the old emperor asked everyone to calm down, he took the initiative to start the topic by asking questions even though he knew the answer.

The Queen was about to speak, but when she saw the green figure, her eyes widened in disbelief, "Weng...Weng Xianghan?"

"You...it's you!" Yan Wanyu, who was not far away, was also shocked. She pointed at her with trembling hands.

"Qu Qingyan pays her respects to Her Majesty the Queen!" Qu Qingyan knew that the Queen must have seen her mother, and she and her mother looked very similar, so it was normal for her to mistake someone for the other.

The Queen Mother then came to her senses and recognized her as the young man Yan Qing who was in disguise during the hunting trip. However, her eyes became complicated as she saw her face was very similar to her mother's.

Feng Lanyue entered the palace late, so she had not seen Weng Xianghan before. However, she guessed her true identity when she saw her accompanying the emperor and claiming her surname was "Qu". She must be the real daughter of the prime minister who had never appeared. Looking at her face, she was indeed stunningly beautiful, worthy of being that man's daughter.

Yun Cairou was also quite surprised, and was shocked to see Yan Qing, who was dressed completely differently from her usual men's clothes. She had thought that even after she changed back to women's clothes, she would still be a heroic tomboy, but she turned out to be a beauty of her generation. Seeing that she looked similar to her mother, it was no wonder that Qu Xiang hid this daughter so deeply.

Qu Wenshi and Wen Suhua had already panicked when they saw Qu Qingyan coming. They were worried that Qu Xinzhu's identity would be exposed, and they wanted to take her away in fear, but when they saw the bright yellow figure, they were frightened and did not dare to move.

Qu Xinzhu didn't notice any of this, she was looking at the stunning face of the woman in green with jealousy.

There was such a flawless woman in the world, which made her feel ashamed of herself.

She is obviously the time-traveling girl, the heroine of this world, so why should a native look much better than her?

If she had taken over this body before, there would have been more men falling at her feet.

The young masters of noble families in the men's area also noticed the green figure. Seeing his incomparable beauty, they were all immediately fascinated.

Mo Yaohe stood up excitedly, stretched his neck, and stared at her stunning face with infatuated eyes.

good good!

I originally thought that Yan Qing looked pretty good, and if she changed into women's clothes, she would still be a beauty.

I didn't expect that she had disguised herself. Her real appearance was so stunning that it was no exaggeration to say that she was stunningly beautiful.

If he could marry her, he would have power and a beautiful woman as his companion, killing two birds with one stone.

He wants to have both the country and the beautiful women!

Mo Chensen, who was standing next to him, saw this and whispered to the Third Prince beside him, "Third Prince, how is it? After seeing the real person, are you more determined in your inner thoughts?"

Mo Yaohe didn't want to pay attention to him, his mind was only on the stunning woman opposite him.

The Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince and the Twelfth Prince were all puzzled when they saw the woman in green, not knowing her identity.

The eleventh prince glanced at the opposite side with disdain, then lowered his head and drank.

The frail fifteenth prince coughed twice, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. Then, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an incomprehensible smile.
