But unfortunately, her history was known to all in the state of Ning. If she didn't want Cangjue Kangning to know about her past, the best way for her would be to keep herself away from the royal palace. But if she didn't show up, how could she plot against Yun Shang? That was why she came up with the idea of pretending to be Jing Wenxi. As long as she successfully trapped Jing Wenxi so Jing Wenxi couldn't come, she could appear with Jing Wenxi's identity. Yun Shang was afraid that the only thing that Hua Jing missed was that the real Jing Wenxi was taken away by Prince Jing and disappeared.
What Hua Jing didn't expect, of course, was that at a glance, Yun Shang noticed that it was not clear water but clear oil that she had summoned maids to serve in the bowl.
Yun Shang appreciated the sudden panic in Hua Jing's eyes for a short moment. She smiled and turned to look at prince Cangjue Kangning.
However, Prince Jing smiled and said to Prince Cangjue Kangning with a smile, "your crown prince, haven't Princess Hua Jing told you that she has a lot of lovers in her mansion when she was still in the palace? And she was pregnant once but unfortunately had a miscarriage in the end? Oh, by the way, the child she had lost is your brother, Prince Cangjue Qingsu's. don't you know about it, judging from the expression on your face?"
Prince Jing seemed to be suddenly enlightened. He glanced at Cangjue Kangning and then looked at Hua Jing's belly, as if he was thinking about something. Prince Cangjue Kangning's face suddenly turned pale. He gritted his teeth and looked at Hua Jing. In less than a quarter of an hour, his eyes were filled with disgust at her.
Hua Jing bit her lip. The hatred in her heart was almost drowning her. She survived Cangjue Qingsu with such hardships. And she asked to be by Cangjue Kangning's side and be his concubine, just to protect herself. Cangjue Kangning had many concubines beside him. It took her a lot of effort to win his affection. Even she risked her baby's life to win his affection. The late empress was dead, and the Emperor didn't want to see her at all. Cangjue Qingsu used her as a tool. And Cangjue Kangning was her only shelter now. But it was ruined by a few words of Yun Shang and Prince Jing. How could she not hate her sister and her husband?
Hua Jing was so angry that her teeth were trembling. It was a long time before she calmed herself down and said again, "don't think that a little blood will prove your identity, Lady Jing. I've investigated you in the Ningguo Temple these days. It is indeed quite interesting. What the monks said just now is all true. You must be guilty, aren't you? Huh... I remember that my sister didn't know even one single word before she went to the Ningguo temple. But after you came back, you suddenly became so good at lyre playing, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you even know about martial arts and medical skills. You claimed that you were taught by Master Wu Na. But after I investigated you in the Ningguo temple for several days, some monks in the temple said that Master Wu Na had rarely seen you in the Ningguo temple. He had only seen you seven times, once a year. Master Wu Na only taught you how to be so talented after seven times' visit? What a big joke!"
Seeing that the crowd gazed at her, Ning Hua Jing smiled coldly again. "The monks in the temple said that you could only copy simple Buddhist scriptures, and that you could not even recognize those words. Why did you suddenly become so powerful and capable? I heard that you were quite familiar with the military skills in the Kangyang city. Are you trying to tell us that the military tactics were taught by Prince Jing, right? "
Yun Shang raised her head and chuckled. She had never expected that Hua Jing would be so determined to doubt her identity under such a circumstance.
Another soft voice suddenly sounded in the Jinluan hall, "Princess Hua Jing, I'm afraid you are thinking too much. Although I have been in the cold palace all the time, shang'er is my daughter, and I'm also very concerned about her. Due to Yun Shang's poor health, she was taken to the Ningguo temple for recuperation. I sent someone to look for my father. After my father quit office, he retired. Due to his friendship with Master Wu Na, his place of retreat was not far from the Ningguo temple. According to the monks you brought, my father would spend a few days up the temple every month. It was me who asked my father to teach my daughter good martial arts, such as lyre playing, chess, calligraphy and martial arts. Father taught my daughter everything. Anyone who know my father well can tell that Yun Shang's handwriting and calligraphy are very similar to my father's."
It was lady Jin who interrupted them.
It was not until then that all the people noticed the elegant woman sitting in the palace. She looked like a painting of her last generation. When the words were spoken, some people remembered, "Lady Jin's father is the ex grand tutor, Xiao Yuanshan."
"Oh...No wonder. Few people can compare with Mr. Xiao in talent. No wonder Princess Yun Shang is so talented. She was taught by him."
Emperor Ning's face changed. He looked up at Lady Jin for a long time before he turned to look at Hua Jing. "Ning Hua Jing slandered the emperor's daughter without scruple, and also committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. However, she is now Prince Cangjue Kangning's favorite concubine. Would you mind giving her to me and letting me deal with her, Prince Cangjue Kangning?"
