The old lady is reborn

The emperor's brother looked up at him, which made Prince Rui feel uneasy: "Fourth brother, did she make a mistake?"

The emperor said: "She is really the daughter of your master and your study partner. It's okay for me to take care of the child for you." The emperor couldn't help but think of the person who died for him on Eagle's Beak Cliff. Everyone felt the same way.

Prince Rui was confused: "Fourth brother, why don't I understand what you are saying?"

The emperor said, "You'll understand when you get back." This matter was handled by Huai'an. This prince consort of my aunt is thoughtful and prudent, so he shouldn't make any mistakes in such a small matter.

When Prince Rui returned home, the servants reported that Princess Anyang and her husband Rong Huaian had arrived.

When Prince Rui entered the tea room, he saw the portraits of his swordsmanship master, his study partner and his good friends hanging on the wall.

The father and son looked at each other as usual, one nodded and the other smiled. King Rui was stunned.

It took him a while to come back to his senses. After greeting his aunt and uncle, King Rui sat next to his wife and asked what had happened.

Princess Rui said, "This happened because your junior sister beat up the head aunt in her courtyard. The aunt's son rushed to my courtyard in anger, but hesitated to speak. I became suspicious, so I asked my aunt and uncle to investigate this family."

Prince Rui didn't quite understand what he heard, and looked at his aunt and uncle.

Princess Anyang saw Huai'an drinking tea without speaking and knew that he was trying to avoid standing out.

So he spoke directly, "The little girl you have raised for ten years is the daughter of the cousin of the aunt in charge."

When King Rui heard this, his heart tightened: "Then where is my master's daughter?"

Princess Anyang said, "I have sent someone to find him. He is waiting outside."

When Prince Rui first came in, he did see several maids whose attire was different from that of the palace standing outside the door. When they saw him coming, they all stood with their heads down. There seemed to be one maid who was particularly small among them, and thinking that she was his aunt's maid, he did not pay much attention to her.

Now Princess Anyang asked her personal maid to bring the person in.

A little girl in a lilac dress came in. When she raised her head, she had sharp eyebrows and heroic eyes. The gentle look of the lotus-colored dress suddenly changed. The little girl had a heroic look in her, almost exactly like the old person in the portrait.

King Rui looked at the little face and his eyes became red.

Princess Rui asked someone to call the aunt in charge.

The manager saw that he could no longer conceal the truth and had to admit that he had replaced the person.

She was one of the servants sent by the Prince's Mansion to take care of "Master's Wife".

The reason for the replacement was because of the girl's mother, the prince's "master's wife". She begged me to find a good family for the child and said that she must not let her daughter enter the palace and stay with the prince.

I didn't dare to have such thoughts. The reason I had such an idea and dared to exchange the child was because I promised the prince's "master's wife".

She felt that her cousin knew her family well and came from a good family, so she thought that leaving the child to be raised by her cousin was a act of keeping her word.

There was indeed some selfishness in moving my cousin's child to the palace, but I also thought that this would satisfy everyone and there would be nothing wrong with it.

After hearing this, Prince Rui felt very upset for a moment.

Princess Rui asked the head aunt to leave first, and then asked the little girl: "Don't worry about what others say. Now I just want to ask your feelings. Do you want to stay in the palace?"

The little girl was told her life story when she was taken away from her adoptive parents' home. Afterwards, the prince consort kindly asked her to think carefully about where she wanted to go and what she wanted.

Although she was only ten years old, with Rong Huaian's reminder, she already knew that this was a crucial answer, an opportunity to make a request that was almost guaranteed to be effective.
