I dressed as a princess and cheated on myself

As expected, the emperor noticed Song Bushi and the two children first. He stepped down from the throne, stared at the two children, and suddenly laughed out loud, "I knew at first glance that these two children are from Yu'er's family. They look exactly like Yu'er!"

King Heng stood up and said, "Yes, Ranran and Youyou are the children that this king has lost and found again."

After that, he said to the children, "Call me Grandpa Huang quickly."

The two children were a little scared when they saw the emperor in his dragon robe, but they still stood up obediently, saluted clumsily, and called out in a baby voice, "Greetings, Grandpa Emperor. Greetings, Grandpa Emperor!"

"Okay, okay, they are all good children. Reward them!" The emperor called the eunuch and said, "Reward these two little treasures with a full set of safety locks, ten sets of brocade clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter, and a thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver!"

As expected of an emperor, he is generous. I never thought that I could become rich just by coming to see the emperor once. The silver coins rewarded by the emperor are enough for the two children to live a rich life!

Song Bushi was overjoyed, but then he heard the emperor ask, "Are you the biological mother of these two children? You look pretty, but why didn't you tell me about your background? I want to ask you, where are you from? Who are your parents?"

Song Bushi was so nervous that she was sweating coldly. She was now holding Liang Yuxuan's body, but she knew nothing about Liang Yuxuan's life experience. She had been asked several times, but she refused to say anything. She was always evasive and hemmed and hawed. She ran away when she got tired of being asked. Prince Heng had asked her before, but she couldn't answer. She had been getting away with it until now, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't escape. Now that the emperor was asking her, if she couldn't answer, she was afraid she would be in trouble. She might be regarded as a spy and even lose her head.

While her mind was wandering, the emperor's expression became serious and cold. The atmosphere in the entire hall became solemn. Song Bushi could even hear her own heartbeat and breathing.

"Have you forgotten where you are from? Or do you have some secret?" The emperor's tone was full of sarcasm, and his eyes became sharp. Prince Heng was about to speak, but the emperor raised his hand and said, "Yu'er, don't say anything. I don't mean to embarrass her. These are basic common sense. If she can't even tell me these, let alone the principal wife, she can forget about even being a concubine."

The prince showed a gloating smile and added insult to injury, "Father, I have long felt that she came from an unknown background and is not from a respectable family. We cannot keep her!"

Prince Heng was slightly angry, and was about to refute the prince, but he heard Song Bushi say, "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really don't know."

The emperor stroked his beard and sneered, "How can there be people in this world who don't know where they are from? Did you jump out of a crack in a rock?"

Song Bushi brewed his emotions for a while, thinking about all the sad things, shedding a few crocodile tears, and then slowly said, "Since I can remember, I have been traveling around the world with my master, and I don't have a fixed residence."

The emperor was half-believing and half-doubting, and asked again, "Then who is your master?"

She said sadly, "My master is known as the Child-like Grandma of Tianshan. Although she is over a hundred years old, her face does not age. She is beautiful and kind. She travels all over the world and treats the poor people for free. She is like a living Bodhisattva!"

The emperor was stunned when he heard this. "A man who is over a hundred years old and looks young? How can such a person exist in this world?"

The ministers were all talking about it, "Yes, this is really amazing!"

"is that a lie?"

"This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Who would say such nonsense in front of the emperor? Unless she doesn't want to live anymore."

Song Bushi said seriously, "My master is very famous. She comes and goes without a trace. Even for me, it is difficult to find her. The reason why I have not told you is because I am afraid that you will not believe me. In addition, my master hates worldly disputes the most. She repeatedly told me not to reveal her deeds to anyone. If the emperor had not asked, I would never tell anyone."

The emperor saw that she was so confident in her words that he was unsure whether what she said was true or false, but in his heart he hoped that such a person existed. "Have you learned your master's childlike face technique?"

Song Bushi shook his head, "That's too difficult. The Eternal Youth Kung Fu that my master practices is not something that can be learned overnight. It requires one to remain a virgin for a lifetime. If one loses his vital energy, all efforts will be in vain..."

The emperor showed a pity expression on his face, and actually believed it a little. He suddenly laughed and said, "So you were kicked out of the sect by your master, right? Because you fell in love with Yu'er and gave birth to two children for him. Doesn't this ruin the family's reputation?"

Song Bushi thought to himself, you are so bold. I haven't thought of this level yet, but you thought of it for me first. He then said, "Isn't it? At the beginning, I was bewitched and reckless for love. I broke the rules of the sect, which angered the master and he expelled me from the sect. Woo woo..."

Now everyone laughed along, and the emperor actually believed her and comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry, this can be considered a blessing in disguise. Yu'er is a good boy, and you won't lose out by marrying him."

The prince was furious. "Father, do you really believe her? How is it possible for someone in this world to have a youthful appearance? This is ridiculous. She is simply talking nonsense to fool us. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

The emperor glanced at the prince and seemed to be somewhat persuaded. The fourth prince suddenly stood up and said, "Father, I love traveling the most. I have been to many places. I have heard that there are centenarians who live in seclusion in the mountains. They come and go like the wind, with childlike faces and white hair. However, I have never seen one."

Many officials also echoed, "There are indeed such rumors, but no one has actually seen it."

Song Bushi said, "A peerless master like my master would never show up easily. After being kicked out of the sect, I couldn't find her anymore. If I want to see her again, it would be harder than climbing to the sky!"

Everyone sympathized with her. Except for the crown prince who doubted that she was lying, everyone else believed her. After all, who would dare to lie to the emperor so openly? Sometimes, the more false something is, the more it seems true. The more you tell the truth, the more others will think you are lying.

Who can really tell the difference between true and false?

As expected, the emperor still stood on her side and consoled her with a smile, "If that's the case, it makes sense."

The prince insisted, "Father, Prince Heng is a prince, how can he marry someone who has no background and is illiterate? This is really disgraceful and a disgrace to the royal family."

Song Bushi asked in return, "How is your highness the crown prince's knowledge?"

The prince said proudly, "I could read the Four Books and Five Classics by heart when I was three years old, and I could write long essays when I was ten years old. My literary accomplishments are unmatched by ordinary people."

Song Bushi said loudly, "Although I have a poor family background and I don't have much knowledge, I know very well that knowledge is to help people distinguish right from wrong, know etiquette, and understand righteousness, rather than to show off! As the saying goes, a full jar doesn't rock, but a half-full jar does. The more knowledgeable a person is, the more humble he is! Even an uneducated person like me understands this truth, doesn't Your Highness the Crown Prince understand it?"
