Translator: 549690339
Lotus Palace, the residence of Zhu Lingling, the 217th princess.
Princess Zhu Lingling was only fifteen years old, but she was a national beauty, even more beautiful than her mother. When she was around twenty years old, she would definitely be a peerless beauty.
Zhu Lingling lazily got up from the bed and yawned as she waited for the maid to bring her some water to wash up.
“Dang dang…
Soon, there was a knock on the door from outside. At the same time, the voice of the maid Qingyu sounded,”Your Highness, are you up?
“Qingyu, come in.” Zhu Lingling said lazily as she waited for Qingyu to enter.
“Creak…’
The palace maid, Qingyu, pushed the door open and entered. She saw a light bulb sitting on the fragrant carved jade bed in the bedroom. No, it should be a luminous pearl.
However, why would there be a luminous pearl on Princess 217’s bed?
Qingyu was so scared that her entire body trembled. Who are you? Where is the princess?”
Zhu Lingling was stunned when she heard Qingyu’s scream. “Qingyu, what’s wrong with you? I’m right here.”
Qingyu cried out in alarm, and the wooden basin in her hand fell unconsciously, making an ear-piercing sound.”Your Highness…Your Highness, what’s wrong? Are you sick?”
Her voice was anxious and she almost cried out loud.
Zhu Lingling realized that something was wrong when she saw Qingyu’s strange expression. “”Qingyu, I…What’s wrong with me? Why are you like this?” “Your Highness, you…Where did your hair go?” Qingyu said with tears in her eyes.
Zhu Lingling was stunned. She remembered that she had felt that something was wrong ever since she woke up. However, because she had just woken up and was a little muddle-headed, Zhu Lingling did not notice anything wrong.
After hearing Qingyu’s words, Zhu Lingling realized that something was wrong with her head. She couldn’t help but reach out to touch it.
It was smooth, smooth, and felt good to the touch. But where had her usual black hair gone?
Zhu Lingling was stunned. After a long silence, she suddenly shouted, ‘”‘Ah…Ah
The entire Lotus Flower Hall shook. Soon, a large number of guards, palace maids, and eunuchs … He barged into the palace to protect the princess and saw Princess 217, whose head was as bright as a night pearl.
West Palace, in Empress Zhao Fanghua’s bedroom.
To be able to cultivate to the Vein Casting stage at such a young age, in addition to her extraordinary talent, Zhao Fanghua’s diligence was also well known.
Therefore, as soon as the sky turned bright, Zhao Fanghua was ready to get up. After washing up, she went to the secret training room to cultivate.
Several female officials carried flower nectar, towels, and skincare herbs…They filed into Zhao Fanghua’s bedroom and prepared to ask the Empress to wash up.
However, when the curtain on the jade bed was pulled open and they saw Empress Zhao Fanghua who had just woken up, several female officials were stunned.
“What’s wrong with you guys?” Looking at the strange expressions of the female officials, Zhao Fanghua frowned and could not help but ask.
Several female officials lowered their heads and did not speak. Someone’s shoulders shook slightly, and Zhao Fanghua immediately saw it.”Ning Juan, are you smiling?”
“This servant doesn’t dare.” The female official named Ning Juan hurriedly
knelt down. When she saw the little turtle on the face of the Empress, who was always noble and elegant, the other female officials also wanted to laugh, let alone Ning Juan.
However, Ning Juan couldn’t hold it in. She was the one who laughed the loudest, so Zhao Fanghua found out.
Zhao Fanghua raised her eyebrows, and the tortoise on her face trembled. It made people want to laugh.”Since you don’t dare, then what were you doing just now? Quickly tell BenGong.”
“This…” Ning Juan hesitated for a moment and handed the bronze mirror to Zhao Fanghua.”Empress, please take a look.”
Zhao Fanghua was stunned for a moment, and then she looked at herself in the bronze mirror.”Ah…Bengong’s face…Why is there a turtle on your face!”
The entire Western Palace was soon in an uproar. It wasn’t any less deserted than the Lotus Flower Palace.
The same scene was happening in dozens of other palaces. In these palaces, there were princes hanging on the walls, princesses with heavy makeup that made them look like ghosts, and favored concubines with braids that soared into the sky..
The palace, which was already in a mess, became even more chaotic now.
Nearly a hundred princes and princesses, as well as concubines, led by the Empress, charged towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity and cried to the Mad Emperor, Zhu Zhenwu.
After understanding the details of the matter, Crazy Emperor Zhu Zhenwu was furious, but he did not know whether to laugh or cry. Which f * cking thief did this? Wasn’t this too much? Was he a child?
If this had happened in an ordinary village, it would have been treated as a joke by a child. However, when this joke fell on the relatives of the royal family in the Imperial Palace, it was no longer a joke. It was a provocation to the entire Zhu Royal Family and the entire Nine Zhao Country.
This was intolerable!
Hahahahahaha … Why did he always want to laugh, especially Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu and the princes, princesses, and concubines who weren’t teased or played with?
But soon, these princes, princesses, and concubines who thought they had escaped were also teased and played with. They shaved their heads, hung them on the wall, tied them to trees, painted turtles, and carved earthworms…All kinds of interesting tricks fell on the princes, princesses, and concubines in the imperial palace.
More and more princes, princesses, and concubines went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to complain. Gradually, even some guards, palace maids, and eunuchs…They were all killed and turned into a painted face guard, a bald palace maid, and a braided eunuch…
The thief’s methods were getting more and more excessive. At the beginning, he still used some paint that could be easily washed off, but gradually, he began to use some paint that was difficult to wash off.
Once the faces of the princes, princesses, and concubines were painted, it would usually take months or even months to slowly remove them. Under such circumstances, how could they dare to go out of the house to meet people? Therefore, fewer and fewer people went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and more and more people had painted faces.
Even when Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu wanted to find someone to serve him, he was shocked to find that the concubines in the harem rejected him one after another. This was because these concubines in the harem had either become painted concubines or bald.
When Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu walked around the palace, he would occasionally encounter eunuchs and guards with messy faces, as well as bald palace maids. He was so frustrated that he almost forgot his job of being jealous of talents.
Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu no longer had the time to laugh and howl. He furiously dispatched a large number of experts into the Imperial Palace to be on guard day and night, searching for all suspicious people.
Regrettably, even so, there were still no clues. Instead, more princes and princesses, concubines, eunuchs and guards were killed and turned into clowns.
Soon, even the court and the people knew about this matter. These dignitaries and important officials were also dumbfounded. They did not know which fellow was so bold to actually humiliate the imperial relatives like this..
