Plum garden.

The guests invited by the old Princess Ruyang this time include Mrs. Zhang from the Hengguo Palace and the elder Taijun from the Anqing Marquis Palace.

In addition, there are also the wives of the left prime minister and the right prime minister.

After the incident of deposing the crown prince, the Lord of Anping County quietly left the capital and stayed away from right and wrong. Mrs. Zuo Xiang now respected and feared Prince Yan's Mansion.

The right minister's wife is the niece of the old eunuch, and she is also here with the old eunuch today.

It can be said that the old princess invited not many people today, but the few present can be regarded as the most distinguished female family members in the Yong Dynasty capital circle.

Mu Ying and Huo Hongying came forward to greet a few people.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yuan Taijun both expressed their kindness to Mu Ying, and the wives of the left prime minister and the right prime minister were also extremely kind.

Chu Xiuwen directly took Wang Yulang to his table.

As the atmosphere at the banquet was getting lively, Azuna arrived.

The scene was quiet for a moment, and a pair of eyes fell on Azuna, either appraisingly or inquiringly.

When Azuna stepped into the plum garden, she was dazzled by the wealth and prosperity, and felt uneasy in her heart, followed closely by sourness and unwillingness.

I was supposed to grow up in this wealthy and prosperous capital city, but instead I ended up suffering a lot in a shabby place like the grassland, herding cattle and horses.

As soon as she came in, she saw Mu Ying standing with three old ladies, who treated her very affectionately.

Asuna watched as the elder Taijun took off the jade bracelet and put it on Mu Ying. Mrs. Zhang next to her also gave her a jade hairpin.

The left prime minister and the right prime minister's wife were even called relatives, and they all gave gifts. Those who didn't know it thought Mu Ying was the protagonist today, what a distinguished guest with high status!

Azuna was jealous and quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Yun Qingwu of the Marquis of Zhenguo has met Princess Ruyang. I wonder who these elders are?" Azuna gave the old princess a nondescript courtesy.

The old princess smiled as usual, "Princess, there is no need to be polite." She said and introduced others.

Azuna saw the gifts one by one, with a well-behaved expression on her face, and looked at the ladies with fiery eyes, waiting for them to give her gifts.

But after a long time, not to mention the two old ladies, the left prime minister and the right prime minister's wife didn't say anything.

Azuna couldn't hold back her smile, and when the atmosphere was about to become awkward, the elder Taijun broke the silence. She picked up the almond cake next to her and handed it to Azuna: "Good girl, let's eat something to cushion your stomach first."

Azuna almost rolled her eyes.

Give Mu Ying a gold bracelet and jade hairpin, and give her a snack?

Is she something worthless?

Feeling unhappy, Azuna took it anyway and took a bite.

The elder Taijun also asked: "Is it delicious? Do you like it?"

"It's delicious, I like it..." Azuna replied dryly, scolding the stingy old woman in her heart.

Mrs. Zhang, who was originally looking at Azuna with a smile, suddenly changed her expression, stood up and said, "Stop eating!"

Azuna was stunned for some reason.

Then Mrs. Zhang said: "Princess, have you forgotten? When you were a child, you came to my house for perfunctory treatment and rarely ate almonds. You got a rash on the spot and had difficulty breathing. The doctor said you can't eat almonds."

Azuna froze, quickly threw away the almond cake, covered her mouth with a handkerchief to spit it out, but she had just swallowed a lot, and looked around herself in a panic.

She didn't feel any difference in her body or see any red rash, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

But in his heart, he hated the elder Taijun who gave him the almond cake, but he couldn't bear to do it in public.

The elder Taijun said with a guilty look on his face: "I don't know about this. If the princess feels uncomfortable, why don't you call the doctor quickly?"

"Old lady, you are not guilty if you don't know." Azuna gritted her teeth and forced a smile: "I, the princess, did not feel any discomfort."

"Eh? Did I remember it wrong?" Mrs. Zhang said, and said to the old lady: "Sister, don't blame me. I must have forgotten it because I am old."

The elder Taijun shook his head: "You have to be careful when importing things. Why don't you call the doctor to take a look?"

"Mrs. Zhang must have remembered it wrong." Mrs. Zuo Xiang suddenly said: "My eldest daughter is not allowed to eat almonds. If she eats them, she will have an attack immediately. The princess is in good health now, so she should not have this taboo."

Azuna found this group of people inexplicable.

At this time, Mu Ying suddenly said: "My cousin really couldn't eat almonds when she was a child. She would get rashes and have difficulty breathing when she ate them."

The scene fell silent for a moment.

"Then this is strange." Mrs. Zuo Xiang looked at Azuna: "You couldn't eat it when you were a child, but you can eat it when you grow up?"

Mu Ying said: "Maybe he is a person who is nourished by the soil and water of the grassland?"

Azuna's expression changed, and she was about to say something.

But the old princess spoke: "It's been too long, maybe everyone has forgotten it, but it's not necessarily true. Since the princess has nothing to do, just take a seat."

"The plum scene is perfect today, I invite you all to listen to the show."

The old princess spoke, and everyone sat down naturally.

When they arrived at the seat, Azuna became even more unhappy.

She was actually ranked at the bottom of the table, and Mu Ying was actually left by the old princess and sat next to her.

Huo Hongying shamelessly ran to the children's table.

Since the atmosphere there was so good, it seemed like she was an outsider.

The elder Taijun and Mrs. Zhang exchanged glances and shook their heads secretly.

The behavior of the two elders was also a test instructed by the old princess.

If the two old ladies didn't understand the reason at first, now they both have concerns in their minds.

There is something wrong with the identity of 'Princess Qingwu'!

In addition to the two elders, Mrs. Zuo Xiang must also have suspicions, otherwise she would not have answered the call so skillfully just now.

Thinking of this, the elder Taijun smiled and said: "I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, but Princess Qingwu looks very different when she grows up than when she was a child."

Mrs. Zhang nodded: "She looks very much like General Yun now. The brother and sister were not alike when they were children. I never expected that they would be so similar when they grow up."

When the two old ladies said this, they did not avoid others.

Azuna naturally heard it. She frowned in confusion and asked, "I look similar to my brother. Is there anything strange about it? That's my brother."

The two old ladies smiled and said nothing.

The old princess kept smiling and said nothing, and then she said, "The show has begun."

On the stage in front, the female lead has appeared.

Everyone looked over.

This play tells a strange story about a real and fake daughter.

The real daughter in the play encountered evil ways when she was a child and lost her life. The evil coveted the real daughter's family fortune, so they found a little beggar to pretend to be the real daughter.

But how can two people who have nothing to do with each other just pretend to be fake?

Just listen to the evil voice singing on the stage: "Peel her skin and squeeze her tendons, pick out her blood and bones, make a painting of skin, put her skin on it, who would know that you are a beggar and not a golden branch?"

On the stage, the fake daughter put on the painting skin and suddenly became the 'real' daughter.

When the play came to this point, the spectators in the audience felt a little strange.

The two old ladies looked at each other with surprised and uncertain expressions on their faces.

Even if Azuna had no brains, she still felt strange when listening to this drama. She was inexplicably panicked. She also saw the strange expressions on other people's faces and the eyes that frequently fell on her.

The more panicked she became, the more wrong she was. The bustle on the stage and the silent bustle off the stage made her extremely uncomfortable. She was eager to break the atmosphere, so she subconsciously opened her mouth without holding back her voice.

"What's fake is just fake. If it's just covered with a layer of skin, can it be regarded as real?"

"The arrangement of this play is simply inexplicable!"

After hearing her words, everyone looked at her.

The old princess smiled and nodded: "Yes, what is fake is fake."

Azuna felt that what the other party said meant something.

At this moment, the fake daughter on the stage paced around in a panic, covered her face, and sang to Xie Dao:

"A girl's 18th transformation requires her to gain her childhood skin. How can she know what she will look like in the future? It's hard for a lie to become true, and it's hard for it to become true~"

The evil way laughed and sang back: "Thousands of gold have brothers. Let me hold the brush and paint the gourd in the same way. Brother and sister are brothers and have similar looks. Fish eyes become pearls. Who can say that you are not the rightful master~"

Bang!

Azuna stood up suddenly and accidentally overturned the teacup, causing the tea to wet her dress.

Her eyes widened angrily, and her chest heaved violently. Before she could open her eyes, the old princess took the lead and asked, "What's wrong with the princess?"

Azuna looked in the direction of the old princess and met Mu Ying's eyes.

At this moment, Mu Ying looked at her with a look that no longer had the submissive look on her face before, but instead contained the mockery and hatred in his eyes.

Asuna felt like there was a fire in her heart that was about to burst out. The fire was getting stronger and stronger, making her panic. She had always thought that she was the real Princess Qingwu, but after seeing this show.

She uncontrollably felt guilty and panicked.

She felt like she had become the fake daughter on stage, the clown!

Everyone was watching her good show, and the gazes falling on her were like knives, making Azuna want to run away!

Seeing her change of expression, the old princess smiled and said: "The princess accidentally knocked over the tea cup and got her clothes wet. It's better to go down and deal with it first."

"Come here, take the princess to the wing."

Azuna took a deep breath, bit her lip, said a random thank you, and walked away quickly, but her steps were very messy.

However, as soon as she took a few steps, she heard ridicule from behind her.

Mrs. Zuo Xiang couldn't hold it back anymore, she clapped her hands and cheered, as if no one else was watching:

"The play that the old princess ordered today is indeed wonderful. Oh, watching this play reminded me that Princess Qingwu also has a brother."

"It's a pity that I have a bad memory and can't remember what the princess looked like when she was a child."

Mrs. Right Prime Minister understood what she said when she heard this. With a flash of her eyes, she heard her aunt, the elder Taijun, say:

"Little Princess Qingwu looks exactly like the late Mr. Mu when he was young, but not at all similar to her brother."

"This is really strange." Mrs. Zuo Xiang said with a smile: "The little princess must have been twelve years old when the accident occurred. The bones of a twelve-year-old girl are already mature. How come she has grown into another person in ten years?"

Mu Ying said at this time: "Perhaps the soil and water of the grassland is different from that of Dayong."

It’s this phrase about grassland water and soil again!

Mrs. Zuo Xiang laughed loudly, stared at Azuna's stiff back, and sneered: "The cows and horses on the grassland are extraordinary. Eating the meat of the cows and horses on the grassland can change a person's appearance."

When the play reached this point, everyone present felt like a mirror.

This 'Princess Qingnu' who came back from the grassland is clearly a fake!
