Ma'am, I was wrong

Chapter 1
Kyoto, Rongguo Mansion.

"crunch, crunch..."

An unremarkable blue-gray carriage staggered out from the side door of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion and walked towards the most prosperous place of the Da'an Dynasty.

The imperial palace, the place where the country's power and money are most concentrated.

At this time, Xie Shu in the car was holding a volume of poems and books and was reading with relish. The car was very simple and incomparable to the residence at home. She was still reading the book in her hand carefully, but her eyes were a little dull.

An hour ago, Empress Xiao secretly summoned her to enter the palace, and no one except her father and herself knew about it.

However, why did the empress secretly announce her into the palace? Over the years, her grandparents have not been feeling well. In order to better accompany her grandparents, she seldom walks outside.

In any case, the empress should have never seen her, let alone announce her into the palace in the middle of the night. What if the grandparents have something good or bad?
With doubts in mind, he followed the rickety carriage into the palace in the dark.

Fengyi Palace, wearing bright yellow palace attire, embroidered with a golden phoenix spreading its wings on the corner of the skirt, covered with a layer of white gauze, with the breeze blowing, the black hair like silk was randomly scattered around the waist, The slender woman with bright eyes and white teeth lay quietly beside the bed, lovingly watching the baby sleeping soundly on the bed, that was her prince!
The emperor is fatuous and devoid of morals, he is obsessed with cultivating immortals and practicing Taoism all day long, treacherous ministers control the government, heavy corvees are burdened, people complain, and the country will be destroyed sooner or later.

Looking at the ignorant child on the bed, how could she die with peace of mind.

"Ma'am, Miss Xie is here." Seeing that the queen has been lying here since His Royal Highness fell asleep, Mammy Liu reminded her.

Empress Xiao focused her gaze, stood up slowly, and tiptoed towards the outside of the hall, for fear of waking up the baby on the bed.

In the side hall, Xie Shu stood in the center of the hall, as quiet as a Buddha statue, neither happy nor angry, nor frightened, as if the person standing here for several hours was not her, but in fact she was just a ten-year-old children.

Xie Shu, who was born in Rongguo Duke's Mansion, didn't understand why the empress wanted to call her into the palace at this time. Rongguo Duke's mansion and Zhongyonghou's mansion, which Empress Xiao was born in, were not related.
When Xie Shu lowered her eyes to meditate, the graceful and luxurious empress was already sitting on the Fengyi throne.

"The courtiers see the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."

"Xie Shu, do you know why I called you here today?"

The voice full of supreme majesty came to my ears, Xie Shu quickly calmed down, "Go back to the empress, I don't know, I hope the empress can clarify the confusion"

After a long silence, the person seated suddenly chuckled, "It's best not to know."

Hearing this chuckle in Xie Shu's ears, the whole body was terrified, and her head with black hair drooped even more.

Looking at the child in front of her who was only four years older than the emperor's son, she said to Xie Shu amiably, "My child, I only called you here for one thing today. I want you to be the fifth princess."

Hearing this, his face turned pale without changing his expression, and he stared at the empress in a daze, not understanding what this meant, impersonating the son of a phoenix and the grandson of a dragon is a capital crime!
Empress Xiao repeated what she said just now with a firm tone, "Would you be willing if I want you to become the fifth princess?"

Xie Shu knelt down towards Empress Xiao, and said sincerely and fearfully, "Your Majesty, pretending to be a son of a phoenix and a grandson of a dragon is a death penalty for the nine clans? It is absolutely forbidden."

Empress Xiao's eyes on the phoenix seat became sharp all of a sudden, and she said 'hmm', "Why, you still don't want to?"

This is not a matter of willingness or not. This is the death penalty of Zhu Jiu Clan. My mind is spinning a thousand times for a while, and I don't understand what the empress empress means by this move.

"Dare to ask my mother, but what happened to the fifth princess?" Empress Xiao has a son and a daughter under her knees. The fifth princess is bedridden all year round and rarely leaves the palace.

"I only ask if you want to or not?"

"I don't want..." She is the daughter of the Xie family, how could she become the fifth princess of the Su family.

The phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the momentum around her suddenly sharpened, and she shouted: "Come here, the fifth princess is tired today, please return to your palace to recuperate."

Upon hearing this, Xie Shu suddenly raised her head, "Empress Empress, you can't..."

Before she finished speaking, Madam Liu led someone to cover her mouth. Xie Shu kept struggling, staring at Queen Xiao and begging her to change her mind.

"Your Highness, you have been ill recently. You are the fifth princess. What does it have to do with the Xie family of the Duke of Rong?"

This group of people is simply insane, how can a civet cat replace the prince in broad daylight, and do such a thing of stealing!

Seeing Xie Shu struggling more and more, Empress Xiao scolded: "Hurry up and help His Highness down."

Seeing this, Nanny Liu hurriedly covered Xie Shu's mouth and nose with a handkerchief mixed with sweat medicine, and as expected, the struggle gradually became smaller, and she passed out as peacefully as if she had fallen asleep.

"Mother Liu, tell me, is it true that I am doing this right?" Empress Xiao sat decadently on the phoenix seat, as if she had aged ten years.

"Niang Niang, what the Xie family owes you should be repaid today with the life of their first daughter, and you should be doing it for the sake of His Royal Highness the Princess and the Crown Prince."

When talking about her sons and daughters, Empress Xiao immediately regained her spirits, "Yes, I don't owe them anything, and I will treat them as repaying the debt today."

Immediately told the wet nurse, "From now on, you must take good care of Your Highness Fifth Princess. Your Highness is weak. If there is any loss, be careful of your skin, and don't let her leave Chaoyun Palace at will."

"Yes, the maidservant respectfully obeys the imperial edict."

"Okay, let's go down." After saying that, he waved his hand as if a little tired.

······
When Xie Shu opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside.

The eyes are light yellow gauze curtains, the top of the head is a pair of tassels, swaying in the wind, moving uncomfortably, and found that the body is not the familiar softness, but the complicated and gorgeous cloud silk satin under the body , Although it is soft, it is also thin, and it always feels extremely stiff.

Xie Shu was startled. This is not her own boudoir but the Chaoyun Palace of the fifth princess. There are rumors among the folks that the fifth princess has come to love pink and tender peach blossoms. A sea of ​​pink flowers.

Sitting up, she took too much sweat medicine and could only lean on the side of the Babu bed, Xie Shu was stunned, what is going on?

"His Highness is awake?"

Xu Shi heard the noise in the inner room, and a court lady in pink and blue walked around a screen with two beautiful peach blossom forests to the window, and casually hung the curtains on both sides of the Babu bed on the peach blossom hooks

Xie Shu raised her eyes to look at her, with willow leaf eyebrows and an oval face. When she spoke, there were two shallow dimples on her face. There was a little red in her fair skin, and her eyes were shining as if she could speak.

"You are?" Xie Shu asked feebly

"Return to Your Highness, the servant Cailian, who was just transferred from the Shang Palace Bureau to serve His Highness"

"No, I'm not, I'm..."

"The emperor is awake." Before the words finished, Empress Xiao walked in lightly, sat by the bed and waved for Cailian to leave, then touched Xie Shu's plump forehead.

"Isn't it possible that the emperor is sleepy and dazed? Why do you still think that you are Miss Xie from the Rongguo Mansion? The game of swapping identities you played with Miss Xie has long since ended." He reached out and tapped Xie Shu's nose, pampering Said with a little helplessness.

Xie Shu's mind was blank, and she just let her move, her cold fingertips brushed her nose, and then she came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, and gave a jolt.

"No, no, I'm not the fifth princess, I'm the eldest daughter of Rong Guogong's mansion: Xie Shu." Shouting hysterically, trying to show that he is not Su Yueming, His Royal Highness the fifth princess of the Da'an Dynasty.

It's a pity that Chaoyun Palace is very big, and her voice echoed in the huge palace, but no one could answer, turned over and pushed Queen Xiao away, jumped out of bed and tried to run out of the palace.

Empress Xiao glanced behind her, and Nanny Liu hurriedly brought four maids forward behind her.

Suppressing Xie Shu who was trying to jump out of the bed and leave, the four maids held down Xie Shu's hands and feet to prevent her from struggling, while Nanny Liu took a bowl of black medicine and fed Xie Shu to drink.

It's a pity that Xie Shu is still young, no matter how hard she struggles, it won't help. Half of the medicine she drank was spilled on the ground.
