"Yes, this subject has seen Aunt Anping's portrait before. Miss Gu and Aunt Anping really don't resemble each other." Taking a deep breath, Xuanyuan Liangzhi secretly clenched his fists under his wide sleeves and looked at the emperor with a magnanimous expression as he nodded heavily.

Indeed, he had seen the portrait of Princess Anping.

Although some of the portraits were far away, because they were well protected, the people on the portraits were still clear.

Gu Qingyi did not resemble the person in the portrait. If not, he would not have suspected that Gu Qingyi did not possess the blood of Prince Gu and Princess Anping.

Of course …

The reason why he said this to the public time and time again was partly because he had seen the portrait before and felt that it didn't seem like it. On the other hand, he didn't like Gu Qingyi … Of course, he would never admit that it was because he didn't like Gu Qingyi that he …

"Shut up! You … You unfilial son... "Unfilial son …"

Prince Lian roared in anger. At the same time, he stared fiercely at Xuanyuan Liankang, not caring that the emperor and empress dowager were beside him.

He really was … He really wanted to pinch this damned unfilial son of his to death …

How dare he spout such outrageous words. He really … Really …

"I, I'm not spouting nonsense, it's not like that at all!"

To be scolded by his father in front of so many people, Xuanyuan Lian felt as if he had lost all his face. He immediately stomped his feet, "I've only seen the portraits before. All of you know Aunt An Ping.

Yes, these people are very strange. Aunt Anping is their sister. Can't they see it for themselves?

"Pah!"

A heavy slap landed on Xuanyuan Lian's face. It was just that this slap was not from Prince Lian who was in a rage.

Instead, it was a trembling imperial concubine who was kneeling beside him.

Prince Lian's wife's face was pale and her hands were trembling non-stop. With a gloomy face, she viciously waited for Xuanyuan Liankang. "Shut up!"

"I... "I …"

Covering his face, Xuanyuan Lian did not know what he had done wrong as he blankly stared at Prince Lian's consort.

Ever since he was young, this was the first time mufei had hit him. Even though she had been especially strict with him, but … But he knew it was all for his own good … Although he was the legitimate son, his father had many other children, but he was the only consort …

If it were his father, he would still retort, but mufei …

"Your majesty, please calm your anger. Your consort has taken care of this child, and it was hard for her to bear him when he was born. She even took care of him when he was young. I beg your majesty to atone for his sins." Taking a deep breath, Princess Lian slowly stood up and bit her lips. Her eyes steeled as if she had made a great decision, and she slowly walked to the empress dowager and the emperor, kneeling down. "Back then, chenqie and sister Anping were pregnant, and we agreed that if it was a man and a woman, they would become husband and wife. This is the keepsake that little sister Anping gave to chong."

As she spoke, she slowly took out a wooden sculpture the size of a finger.

The wooden sculpture didn't look like it had any special features, so much so that … It was even a bit ugly. He was afraid that if he were to spend two coins on any one of the stalls, it would be even prettier than this.

However, the empress dowager and emperor's expressions changed as well …

"This... This... This was carved by An Ping. It turned out that … "So it's with you."

The emperor had almost snatched the wooden sculpture from the imperial concubine, so he held it carefully in his hands. Even his voice had become shaky.

Prince Lian Fei couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, "This child probably secretly heard the words of his concubine and his highness … He has never had a sister since he was young, so he doesn't know how to get along with a little girl … "

When the emperor and empress dowager saw this, they also smiled and comforted her.

"Alright, alright. Get up. It's been hard on you. You've still remembered it all these years."

"Chenqie should do it."

Prince Lian's wife slowly stood up. A faint smile hung on her face, but that smile never faded. She stared blankly into the distance …

Anping, I'm incompetent, this is all I can do, I hope you'll forgive me.
