Chapter 421 The Standing Copper Coin
The name “Princess Chuyun” sounded familiar. Upon careful reflection, Lin Wanrong suddenly remembered that Xu Wei had once mentioned it when introducing the Great Hua royal family. The current Emperor had three princesses. The eldest princess was of age and had been married off to the South in Yunnan, and hadn't returned home for years. The second princess held the title of “Chuyun,” and little was known about her since childhood. The youngest princess was Nishang, who later turned out to be Qin Xian'er. Could Xiao Qingxuan really be the legendary Princess Chuyun? If so, wouldn’t she and Xian'er be real sisters?
Xiao Qingxuan’s long sleeves brushed lightly as she spoke calmly, “Which palace's servant are you? How do you recognize me?”
Miss Xiao's words were tantamount to admitting her identity. Gao Ping was so excited that he hurriedly kowtowed, “You truly are Princess Chuyun, Princess, I'm Gao Ping! Don't you remember me?”
“Gao Ping?” Xiao Qingxuan murmured, her brows slightly furrowed, as if trying to recall when she had heard that name.
Gao Ping kowtowed on the ground like pounding garlic, his voice trembling with excitement, “I, Gao Ping, have served the Emperor since he was in the Qian Mansion. I was there with Chief Wei when you, little princess, were just a month old, and I even held you in my arms.”
Lin Wanrong felt dizzy listening. ‘You old eunuch, my wife saw you when she was still in swaddling clothes; how could she recognize you now, especially when she’s grown into a fairy?’
Hearing that this eunuch was an old servant in the palace, Xiao Qingxuan’s eyes filled with tears as she nodded, “So you're an old acquaintance of my father and mother. You may rise and speak.”
Gao Ping kowtowed again, respectfully got up, and carefully examined Xiao Qingxuan, exclaiming, “The Empress was benevolent and virtuous, respected by all. She was especially kind to me. Princess, you resemble her exactly. I knew at once that you must be the Emperor's Princess Chuyun.”
