Chapter 123 The mystery of life experience (1)
Just as he was about to ask the old lady about her situation, he heard a message: "The Emperor has arrived, the Crown Prince has arrived, the Imperial Concubine has arrived, and the Thirteenth Princess has arrived!"
Lin Xijin couldn't avoid them, so she could only bow to them together with the old lady. Murong Xu raised his eyebrows and greeted Lin Xijin secretly. The few people and the old lady took their seats separately, and Lin Xijin stood beside the old lady.
Lin Xijin secretly raised her eyes to observe Imperial Concubine Yi and the princess. She had seen them before at the palace banquet, but at that time she only thought that the Imperial Concubine looked kind and didn't think much about it. Now that she looked carefully, her facial features were indeed 70% similar to Xinlan, but the Imperial Concubine was a little older now, and her face shape had changed a little, and she no longer had the childishness of Xinlan.
The Thirteenth Princess standing aside has an ordinary appearance. She looks like neither a royal concubine nor an emperor. Thinking in this way, it really makes me feel that Xin Lan’s life experience is worth exploring.
"Princess Jiahui, please sit down too." Lin Xijin's thoughts were brought back to reality by the emperor's voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Xijin followed the old lady's instructions and sat down.
After several people presented gifts and chatted for a while, the old emperor and Murong Xu went to dine with the Taifu father and son. The old lady, Lin Xijin, Madam Wu and others accompanied Concubine Yi and the Thirteenth Princess to dine.
The old emperor and Concubine Yi were both beautiful and talented, but the Thirteenth Princess was plain-looking and had no bearing of a royal princess. It was easy to tell from her behavior that she was very arrogant.
She looked down on Lin Xijin, which was comparable to Zheng Wanyin's attitude towards Lin Xijin at the palace banquet. Now she was just suppressing herself in front of her elders.
After the meal, the Thirteenth Princess was taken to visit the garden by the little sisters arranged by Mrs. Lin. The old lady left the imperial concubine and Lin Xijin behind and asked Mrs. Wu to bring Xijia, Xinlan and Anan up to pay their respects.
"The children of Jin'er's family are very good-looking and well-behaved. You should meet them." The old lady patted the imperial concubine's hand and said.
"Greetings to the Royal Concubine! I wish you good luck, happiness and good health!" Three children were brought up and greeted the Royal Concubine politely.
When the imperial concubine saw Xin Lan, she was also completely stunned for a moment, not understanding how such a little girl could exist, who was so similar to herself when she was a child. But after years of immersion in the palace, she quickly calmed down and rewarded each of the three children with a jade pendant. Mrs. Wu then took them away.
At their request, Lin Xijin told them again about the adoption of Xinlan and Xinfeng. The old lady and the imperial concubine burst into tears after hearing this.
"Jin'er, I would like to do a blood test with her, is that possible?" The imperial concubine asked while wiping her tears.
"My Lady, the blood test is not accurate. If you believe me, you can give me a strand of your hair and I will do the test for you. I will tell you the result tomorrow."
"I believe you, of course I believe you!" The imperial concubine was very excited and immediately pulled out three hairs from her head.
Lin Xijin took out an unused handkerchief, wrapped the imperial concubine's hair, and put it into her sleeve, actually putting it into the space.
The Imperial Concubine sat with the old lady for a while, then said goodbye and left with the Emperor and the other four people.
After comforting the old lady of the Imperial Tutor, Lin Xijin also went home with a car full of return gifts and her three children.
As for what the imperial concubine will do when she returns to the palace, that is not something she can participate in.
On a cold winter night, with snowflakes falling everywhere and the chill chilling to the bone, Murong Xu was not afraid of the cold and still came to see her.
"Why are you here again? Aren't you afraid of the cold?" Lin Xijin asked angrily.
"Don't be afraid! I have a warm padded jacket. When I think of seeing you, the passion in my heart can melt away all the cold!" Murong Xu spoke eloquently.
"You're becoming more and more rogue! Did that cold-faced prince disappear?"
"You've led me astray!"
The two of them were flirting and teasing each other, having a great time.
"Today, Madam Taifu and Concubine Yi think that Xinlan is the daughter of your father, the emperor. What do you think?"
"If you think about it carefully, Xin Lan and the imperial concubine do look somewhat similar. There are so many dirty things in the palace, and anything can happen." Murong Xu spoke of the palace with a look of disgust on his face.
"How old is Princess Thirteen this year?"
"About ten years old. Probably about the same age as Xin Lan."
"Well, let's do a DNA test to see if the Imperial Concubine and Xin Lan are related."
The two of them walked into the space and came to the medical laboratory, where they took samples, amplified, and tested... After a busy period, the two of them waited quietly for the test results.
Three hours passed in a flash, and the two conducted the final data analysis, and the identification results finally came out.
The identification results showed that the genome similarity of the two people reached 99.99%, meeting the standard of biological relationship, and the two were in a parent-child relationship.
Lin Xijin was a little stunned for a moment. Was it time? Luck? Fate? He didn't know whether he should be happy for Xinlan or sympathize with himself? Was he going to lose the little cotton-padded jacket he had picked up and raised for several years?
Murong Xu seemed to see her mood, and he hugged her into his arms, stroked the top of her head, and whispered: "Xinlan is the princess, and you are the crown princess. When you and I get married someday, you will be her sister-in-law, and we will still be a family!"
"Murong Xu, you're taking advantage of me! Who said I was going to marry you?" Lin Xijin raised her foot to kick him, but Murong Xu quickly held her completely in his arms, unable to move.
"Okay, okay! If you don't marry me, I will marry you!" Murong Xu quickly surrendered.
"Let's ask Xihui to marry her, and she will still call you sister. What do you think?" Murong Xu whispered in her ear.
He didn't think that plotting against his own sister was an excessive act.
"You have a conscience! It's worth it that I saved your life twice!" Lin Xijin was finally calmed down and stopped getting angry.
Xin Lan was completely kept in the dark, and her life was clearly arranged by this scheming brother and sister-in-law.
After breakfast the next day, Lin Xijin brought Qiuyan to the Taifu Mansion again and found the old lady of the Taifu Mansion.
The old lady had been waiting for her for a long time, and was a little disappointed when she saw that she didn't bring Xin Lan with her. In the old lady's expectant eyes, Lin Xijin nodded to her solemnly.
"Madam, the test shows that the Imperial Concubine and Xin Lan are parent and child. As for how Xin Lan ended up among the common people, you need to take the trouble to find out. But I have a suggestion. Before the matter is clarified, I hope that Xin Lan will not be informed of this matter for the time being, and Xin Lan's identity must not be made public, so as not to alert the enemy."
When the old lady of the Imperial Preceptor thought of the suffering that Xinlan, a little baby at that time, had endured while living among the people, her heart ached and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
After comforting the old lady with a few words and watching her emotions gradually calm down, Lin Xijin said goodbye and left.
