Since he can't refuse, it doesn't mean that Zhong Xiaoshu has to be forced to accept it.

It's just that you can't lose the emperor's face, so you just do superficial work.

After that, Zhong Xiaoshu twisted a small piece of broken dim sum from the plate, put it in his mouth and tasted it slightly.

"The eldest princess's craftsmanship is excellent, and the courtiers are ashamed." After that, Zhong Xiaoshu didn't say anything more.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhong Xiaoshu probably didn't want to lose his honor in front of the emperor, so naturally he wouldn't eat too much, as for whether it was delicious, it was just to sell the face of the eldest princess.

But in the eyes of the eldest princess and others, they saw the alienation and indifference in Zhong Xiaoshu's eyes and words.

Seeing this, the eldest princess couldn't help but have a touch of loss in her eyes.

The emperor didn't expect Zhong Xiaoshu's temperament to be so stubborn, even in front of so many people, his attitude was still indifferent, and he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in his heart.

There are indeed many things wrong with what her royal sister did before.

But even if there are tens of millions of mistakes, no matter how you say it, this is Zhong Xiaoshu's biological mother.

What's more, I don't know how many times I ran to the General's Mansion during this time, but I was all turned away, and the emperor also heard from spies about these things.

The emperor respects filial piety, and Zhong Xiaoshu's performance undoubtedly makes the emperor dissatisfied.

If it weren't for Zhong Xiaoshu's previous pretenses, the emperor would probably be ready to punish her directly.

Looking at the loss on the face of the imperial sister sitting at the bottom, as well as the appearance of the whole person who had lost weight during this time, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Actually, there is indeed a matter of inviting you Aiqing to come today. ”

When the emperor opened his mouth, the hundred officials looked straight in the direction of the emperor.

Zhong Xiaoshu and Yin Zhige had already vaguely guessed what the emperor was going to say next, but they couldn't stop it, so they had to frown and watch the changes.

The eldest princess is also a smart person, so she naturally guessed the emperor's intentions.

Although this matter was not in the plan of the eldest princess and the emperor, the eldest princess did not want to force Zhong Xiaoshu to admit her relatives.

But she saw Zhong Xiaoshu's actions in her eyes today, and she was afraid that it would be difficult for Zhong Xiaoshu to admit herself by relying on her own strength.

Now the emperor wants to use his identity and majesty to force Zhong Xiaoshu, which is not a good way.

It was the eldest princess who also sat quietly without speaking.

Zhong Xiaoshu looked at the expressions of these people, and he also had some plans in his heart.

In this era, the supremacy of imperial power, as long as you are in a high position, you will have supreme power, no matter how high you are, in the end, you are also under the fence.

Isn't this the usual method of the royal family, and it was the same last time in the prison.

After thinking about it, Zhong Xiaoshu's eyes darkened.

The emperor didn't seem to see the turmoil below, and continued: "Previously, I issued an edict to accuse Ning Shuyan of pretending to be a royal child, and I must have known that the reason why I knew that Ning Shuyan was pretending was because the real county lord had been found. ”

"Found it already?" Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this.

Then someone whispered.

"I wonder who this county lord is?"

"Presumably today's banquet is also for this matter."

"Then isn't this county lord in this palace at the moment?"

As they spoke, they didn't forget to look around carefully.

Some thoughtful ministers already had some calculations in their hearts, and they seemed to look in the direction of Zhong Xiaoshu a few times.

This naturally includes the old fox of Prime Minister Ying.

Originally, he was dissatisfied with the emperor arranging him on the other side to be in the same position as Yin Zhige today, but now he wants to come to the emperor with a deep meaning.

But if that's the case, he only mocked Zhong Xiaoshu today.

Prime Minister Ying couldn't help but bow his head and feel empty.

The emperor saw that everyone was talking about it, so he coughed lightly twice: "Since today is a family banquet, I also want to take advantage of the opportunity that all of you Aiqing are here to tell this matter and correct the name of the real county lord." ”

"After all, this county lord is the blood of the royal family, it is extraordinary, naturally it cannot be left outside, presumably Zhong Aiqing should also see from today's layout, this General Yin's wife, Zhong Xiaoshu is the pearl left by the eldest princess."

The emperor's words were like a thunderclap on the ground, and for a time it set off a wave of discussion in the palace.

Everyone understands why these people in the palace today are all interested in Zhong Xiaoshu's blue eyes.

Those ladies and ladies, regardless of whether they knew Zhong Xiaoshu or not, all looked in the direction of Zhong Xiaoshu.

The young ladies who had a little holiday with Zhong Xiaoshu were very worried at the moment, especially after knowing Zhong Xiaoshu's identity, they were afraid that Zhong Xiaoshu would tell them something.

After all, no matter how big the official position is, he can't provoke the royal relatives and relatives, not to mention that the eldest princess has heard a little about how much Ning Shuyan loves everyone here.

If it's fake, it's true.

Those who had no grievances with Zhong Xiaoshu knew about it, and they wondered if they could find an opportunity to have a relationship with Zhong Xiaoshu.

But the party Zhong Xiaoshu had a noncommittal attitude at the moment, as if it was none of his business, and just lightly picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip.

Some people who know the inside story have understood, no wonder the emperor has to go to great lengths to set up a banquet today.

"Since the identity of the county lord has been announced today, I should also say a few words, Ning Shuyan pretended to be the identity of the county lord before, provoking the mother-daughter relationship between the eldest princess and the county lord, Ning Shuyan deserves death."

"I and the eldest princess also blamed Mrs. Yin for this before, which made Mrs. Yin and the eldest princess mother and daughter feel a little suspicious, but in the end, it is a family, with blood relatives, nothing is unpassable, today is the talk, let all the ministers be a witness together."

The emperor's words can be said to have fulfilled all the previous words, and the fault of feelings is all piled up on Ning Shuyan alone.

If it weren't for the fact that they wanted to deliberately suppress Yin Zhige, they wouldn't have let Ning Shuyan succeed easily.

Zhong Xiaoshu can ignore the previous things, but the matter of the child is something she can't let go of now.

Zhong Xiaoshu couldn't help sneering in his heart, but his face was silent.

Seeing this, the eldest princess got up and spoke first: "It was indeed the palace that was deceived by the traitor before, and the protector couldn't distinguish right from wrong for a while, and in retrospect, I regretted it in my heart. ”

The eldest princess looked at Zhong Xiaoshu with burning eyes.

When Zhong Xiaoshu heard this, his eyes met the eldest princess's gaze coldly.
