Chapter 1297: Just Taking It Back
Everyone instantly understood from Crown Prince Zhao Sheng's behavior that he was probably here to choose a concubine.
Zhao Sheng glanced at all the princesses and then walked towards his seat.
"Your Majesty, this prince has already chosen a princess." Zhao Sheng said straight to the point after sitting down.
"I wonder which of my daughter Prince Zhao has his eyes on?" the emperor looked at Zhao Sheng and asked.
"The person chosen by this prince is her." Zhao Sheng pointed at Yan Li, who was closely connected to the princess' seat.
Everyone:...
That girl seems to be a friend of Princess Lin Ling and the others, not a princess, right?
Will she be unlucky enough to be captured and married off in place of the princess?
"Prince Zhao, you are wrong. She is not my princess." The emperor was speechless.
I have more than thirty daughters, but he chose someone else!
After all, Miss Yan is too outstanding!
"Since she is not the emperor's princess, why is she sitting in the princess' seat?" Zhao Sheng obviously did not believe what the emperor said.
"You are blind." Yan Li raised her head and looked at Zhao Sheng.
Everyone:...
It seems that this girl is a tough guy!
"How dare you scold this prince!" Zhao Sheng's face turned pale when he heard that.
"Are you not blind? Everyone can see that the table at the princess's seat is dark purple, and my table is light purple. We are clearly in different seats." Yan Li rolled her eyes.
Everyone:...
It’s really easy to distinguish!
"That doesn't prove that this isn't the emperor's princess." Zhao Sheng obviously didn't want to give up.
"First, if I am really a princess but cannot sit in the princess' seat, it proves that I am not favored, and it will be no good for you to choose me as the Crown Princess. Second, even if I am a princess, I will not look down on you." Yan Li said and looked at Zhao Sheng.
"I am the crown prince, and you look down on me?" Zhao Sheng was very angry.
"If I don't like it, I don't like it. What else is there to say?" Yan Li was speechless.
Everyone:...
This girl is simply a piece of steel!
"Prince Zhao, Miss Yan is indeed not my princess. You should choose again." The emperor spoke.
"So what if she's not a princess? The emperor can confer the title of princess on her and let her marry into the royal family. I won't despise her for not being of royal blood." Zhao Sheng said.
Everyone's eyes were on Yan Li.
"Your Majesty, I think Miss Yan is beautiful and intelligent, and is very suitable." Concubine Lan spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty, since this is the request of Prince Zhao, you should fulfill it." Concubine Zhu also responded.
"Have you ever asked for my opinion?" Yan Li looked at them coldly.
"Miss Yan, it is your blessing to be chosen by Prince Zhao." Concubine Lan smiled, covering her mouth.
"That's right. Besides, it's a great honor for you to marry on behalf of the princess." Concubine Zhu also nodded.
Both of them have princesses of the right age, and they are afraid that their daughters will be chosen, so they want to push others into the fire pit.
"I think it was a mistake for me to help you restore your beauty before." Yan Li said and sprinkled a handful of medicine powder at the two of them.
After being poisoned by Yan Li's powder, Concubine Lan and Concubine Zhu's appearance immediately returned to what it was before.
Everyone present was horrified when they saw the changes in Concubine Lan and Concubine Zhu.
"Your Majesty, you...your appearance has returned to its previous state." The palace maid beside her looked horrified.
"The appearance before...ah..." Lan Fei took out the mirror and suddenly screamed.
Zhu Fei, who was standing by, was also panicking!
Lin Ling: ...
Live it!
You guys have no reason to mess with Li'er!
Lin Qiao: ...
It turns out that these two women can’t be made to look too good!
"How dare you murder the imperial concubine..." Concubine Lan's hands were shaking as she pointed at Yan Li.
"Murder? I just took back what I gave you before, Your Majesty, don't you think? Are they the same as before?" Yan Li looked at the emperor and asked.
emperor:……
It is indeed exactly the same, except that there are a few more pustules.
The flowers were previously hit by frost, but now there are a few dewdrops covered with dirt on them.
The emperor complained in his heart!
"It is indeed the same." The emperor nodded.
"Look, the emperor has said it, there is no difference." Yan Li spread his hands.
There was a glimmer of light in Zhao Sheng's eyes as he looked at Yan Li.
"Miss Yan, you did a good job. You should punish those two ungrateful people in this way." After she finished speaking, the queen walked in with the other concubines.
But their originally beautiful faces were a little red and swollen.
"Empress, what do you mean?" Concubine Lan looked at the Queen with some horror.
"Don't you know what I mean? The redness and swelling on our faces are caused by you poisoning us?" The queen looked at them coldly.
"Empress, it's just a minor poison, there's no need to panic." After Yan Li said this, she took the powder in her hand and moved it towards the Empress and the others.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this!
Could it be that this Miss Yan wants to wipe out the emperor's harem?
Everyone's eyes were focused on the faces of the Queen and the others. Then they discovered that the swelling on their faces had actually subsided!
"Thank you, Miss Yan." The Queen and other concubines thanked Yan Li together.
"How dare you to murder the queen." The emperor became angry upon seeing this.
"Your Majesty, I dare not. I did not do it. Besides, the Empress said that we poisoned her. What evidence does she have?" Concubine Lan knelt in front of the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, I never argue with others. If you think I did it, I will not be able to defend myself." Concubine Zhu also knelt down.
Seeing this, everyone didn't know who to believe.
"Want evidence? Isn't that simple?" Yan Li said and threw two truth talismans at them.
"Is it you?" The emperor looked at them coldly.
"Hehe, so what if it's us? We've been ugly for so many years. Now that we've finally recovered, we naturally want to stand out." Lan Fei's expression became increasingly crazy.
"That's right. We've all been ugly for so many years. Why do we have to restore our looks together? Why do we have to synchronize everything?" Zhu Fei's eyes were filled with resentment.
"So you drugged us?" The Queen must be more disappointed with them.
After all, when they were ugly, they were the ones who stood in front of them and prevented the emperor from selecting girls, just to protect their interests.
I didn't expect that after I finally restored my appearance, they would be so selfish and vicious.
"Of course not. Today, Crown Prince Zhao is choosing a concubine, and we naturally don't want our daughters to be chosen to marry far away. We originally wanted the Emperor to send palace dresses to the two sisters of the Lin family to make them stand out, but we didn't expect that they would not wear them." Concubine Zhu continued.
"Is this also what the emperor meant?" Lin Qiao's eyes were full of disappointment.
"Of course not. The emperor never thought of letting you go in marriage. He just simply wanted you to dress nicely and look respectable." Concubine Lan was very angry when she said this.
The Lin sisters breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
If the emperor has the same idea as Concubine Lan and the others, then it would be better for the princess not to be one.
