Yun Niao was stunned as if she had been struck by lightning. Hiroshi also looked at her in a daze. His heart was like a snow-white gardenia blooming in an instant.
The woman revealed her face once again, and her soft voice spread in the air as if it was dyed with honey, making people feel extremely comfortable and wonderful. "Xue Xi greets the second princess and the prince.”
"Xue…Xue Xi? You…You…"
"Yes, I'm the Eldest Princess 'daughter, Xue Xi, who is wandering outside.”The woman's dress was as white as snow, her black hair was as black as ink, and her graceful figure was like a lotus fairy. In the morning breeze, she looked even more refined. Even the proud Yun Niao couldn't help but feel inferior, and she couldn't say anything as she looked at her.
Only when the people in front of her had already left did Yun Niao suddenly wake up from her dream and walk towards the meeting hall with Hao Yuan. Today, they had come under the Emperor's orders. He said that he had something important to announce and that he had to be late. He had to pay attention to his appearance and the royal aura.
As soon as he reached the door, he found that the atmosphere was very unusual. The usually dull palace hall was unusually excited today. The palace people whispered to each other, and their faces were filled with rare laughter and joy. When they saw Yun Niao and the other woman, they quickly shut their mouths and bowed politely before falling silent.
Yun Niao laughed it off and walked into the main hall amidst the palace servants 'reports. The first thing he saw was Xue Xi, who he had just seen. Without a doubt, Xue Xi became the focus of everyone.
"Yun Niao, Haoyuan, you're all here. Come over and greet your niece.”A motherly smile appeared on Xue Yao's face, and her gaze shifted from Yun Niao's face to Xue Xi." It's her. Her name is Xue Xi, and she's the daughter of your royal sister, Yun Xi.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Niao's face showed extreme shock and suspicion. She couldn't help but blurt out,""No, it's absolutely impossible!"
Compared to her intense reaction, the others were much calmer. In fact, the so-called others were none other than her husband Ling Shuang, Yun Miao's biological father Han Fei, and Yun Niao's father Wu Fei. At this moment, Ling Shuang was looking at Xue Xi dotingly and blissfully, ignoring Yun Niao's reply. At this moment, Xue Yao spoke,"What's impossible?"
"She…How could she be Royal Sister's daughter? Royal Sister, she…she…"She was infertile, so how did she have a daughter? It must be fake! However, she could only keep the rest of her words in her heart because Yun Xi was found to be two months pregnant before she died. She could not say the truth and slap herself.
"What happened to her? Or do you think that it's impossible for her to give birth to such a beautiful daughter? Xuexi is a little pretty. Are you jealous because of that? She's your niece. You should be proud of her.”Xue Yao said.
She definitely wasn't. Someone was definitely impersonating her! She couldn't say the real reason, so she thought for a while before slowly raising her doubts."Mother, if I remember correctly, Royal Sister isn't even 30 yet. Why would she have such an old daughter?”
"What's so strange about that? Your royal sister, Yun Xi, gave birth to Xue Xi when she was fourteen. She was very afraid at that time…Sigh, let's not talk about the past anymore. Fortunately, we finally found Xue Xi. Otherwise, we would definitely regret it for the rest of our lives.”A trace of pain and loneliness flashed across Xue Yao's face, but she quickly regained her composure. She did not want to explain further on this issue, and her voice suddenly became louder."Men, announce my decree. Xuexi is the only daughter of the late Imperial Crown Princess. She is beautiful and knowledgeable. It is truly the blessing of the Feng Kingdom. Today, Xuexi is conferred the title of Princess Anping and given a palace, Anping Palace. Before the palace was built, they would temporarily stay in the Frost Hall.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's reaction was intense, but they did not show it on their faces. Ling Shuang was overjoyed and unconsciously held Xue Xi's hand to thank the emperor, tears flowing down her face. Hiroshi only smiled faintly, and his gaze gently stopped on Xue Xi. Yun Niao's face was red and she was furious.
"Mother, your son feels that this is inappropriate!" Yun Niao was already kneeling beside Xue Yao, advising her," This Xue Xi, after all, has an unknown background. Mother, please reconsider!”
Xue Yao was already very angry this time. Her tone was slow and without any warmth, floating in the hall."You seem to think that I haven't investigated Xuexi's identity, or that I'm already old and have made foolish decisions?”
Hearing this, Wu Fei's heart skipped a beat and she quickly knelt beside Yun Liao.""Your Majesty, your decision is naturally correct. Yun Niao must have lost her mind from not sleeping well last night.”
Xue Yao's sharp eyes swept across the two of them. When they passed them and landed on Ling Shuang and Xue Xi, they were already as gentle as water.
"Xuexi, grandmother will take you to see the palace you're going to live in. I guarantee you'll like it.”
Xue Xi responded respectfully and shyly. When she passed by Yun Niao, she paused for a moment, her eyes filled with ruthlessness and ridicule. Yun Niao, we meet again. Just you wait, our game has just begun! Don't worry, I won't let you down. I'll let you have a taste of heartbreaking.
Yun Niao returned to the palace angrily and sat on the chair angrily. She felt that everything in the room made her angry. Everyone, everything, and everything in the room was unpleasant to the eye. She simply swept her arm across the table. There was a crackling sound, and all the teacups and porcelain fell to the ground. Damn it, who was this person? Who would have the guts to impersonate a princess? This was the death penalty for exterminating all nine generations!
Yun Niao searched her memories carefully. Who could it be? Who…remembered? Why did this person's voice sound so familiar? Yes, yes! Her voice was soft and sweet, like a bowl of porridge with a lot of sugar…Hmph, who else could it be but Mu Yu?
Ha, Mu Yu? No wonder he disappeared after a few months. It turned out that he had started doing this kind of business. He was too bold! She had always thought that this person was not simple. Her intuition told her that she was probably Xue Lin, but she could not find any evidence. If they could prove that Xue Xi was Mu Yu and Mu Yu was Xue Lin…
Good, very good!
At this moment, the advisor beside her suggested," This female thief was able to enter the palace. She must have had help. The princess just needs to keep an eye on her and she can follow the clues to find the mastermind." This subordinate dares to guess that it was Princess Yun Miao who did it?”
"She wants to fight me?" Yun Niao asked. A defeated opponent is nothing to be afraid of!"
"Princess, it's better to be careful."
"I've gone to test her a few times. She's really crazy." Yun Niao waved her hand. Alright, let's think about how to deal with Xue Xi! Someone's here!"
Someone immediately knelt down to listen to the order.
"Immediately go to the palace and inform Xiaosi. Tell him to fight to be Princess Anping's palace maid no matter what. Of course, it would be best if he could be her personal palace maid.”
Watching Xue Xi fall into a deep sleep in the snow-white gauze tent, Xue Yao and Ling Shuang looked at each other and smiled. They held hands and slowly left.
" Did Xi Xi go to Shangye that year…" Ling Shuang asked.
Xue Yao nodded. At this moment, silence was better than sound.
That year, Yun Xi disappeared for seven months. The people she sent out to inquire around and finally found her place of residence, but no matter how they persuaded her, she refused to come back.
Xue Yao was extremely angry at that time, so she took a tough approach and forcefully cut off all of Yun Xi's escape routes. Not long after, Yun Xi came back, but she had changed a lot since then. She seemed to have gone through something sad, but she had never mentioned it to anyone, including Ling Shuang.
That year, Yunxi was fourteen years old.
Xue Yao had sent people to investigate the matter of those seven months many times. He did not expect Yun Xi to seal the matter quite tightly. Xue Yao had investigated for a long time but only found a little bit of it. He only knew that Yun Xi lived with an unknown boy in a small town in Shang Ye. The boy's family was very poor. Later, something happened to his family and there was no news of the boy. After Yun Xi found out about this, she fell sick a few more times. In the end…she never got pregnant until she died.
Thinking of this, Xue Yao closed her eyes again. If she had treated Yun Xi a little better at that time, if she had not cared about the boy's identity, would the ending have been different? Yunxi died young and had no children. She owed Yun Xi too much! Fortunately, the heavens did not send her to hell forever. They actually sent Xue Xi over.
Xue Xi, this name itself proved many things. Xue Yao, Yun Xi, Xue Xi.
When Xue Xi woke up, she felt a gentle breeze. The snow-white curtains in the bedroom fluttered gently and swayed. The antique furniture and furnishings were exquisite and noble. On the bedside, the beams, the furniture, and even the table legs were complicated carvings. There were phoenixes, flowers, and fish, but most of them were phoenixes. They were either flying high, pecking at food elegantly, resting lazily, or lying down with their necks crossed. They were vividly portrayed, elegant, and incomparably rich.
Xue Xi looked at these artworks in surprise and could not help but exclaim in admiration. What a beautiful palace, what a gorgeous house, what tasteful furnishings! Qin, chess, books, and paintings lay quietly in their respective places. They were pieces of art in themselves, and the various utensils that contained them were also peerless works of art! This palace was really rich! No wonder so many people would risk their lives to become the emperor! Being able to stay here for a day was enough to reminisce for a lifetime, not to mention that she could stay here for a long time! Moreover, she had a young "Imperial Grandfather" who doted on her so much. She touched her face and thought that there were some benefits to being stabbed. She could take revenge and enjoy it at the same time. It was really worth it. Why did she feel that this was a tough job back then? It was a pity that she couldn't see Yin Yicui again…She hadn't seen him for four months. Had the scar on his face scab over? Would he live there quietly? Would he be sad to know that she was missing? What if he couldn't recognize her in the future? After all, she had already become like this…
