Chapter 1 — The Queen and the Village Father Hold the Wrong Child
The queen, who had been childless for half her life, finally became pregnant, but suddenly gave birth prematurely in an abandoned temple. At the same time, a village woman also gave birth to a daughter! Looking at the two girls and boys being mixed together, the Crown Prince frowned.
“Whoever can distinguish the princess, I will reward that person with a thousand taels of gold.”
Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to speak. At that moment, a voice suddenly rang in my ears. 【Old King of Hell didn't lie to me, he actually let me reincarnate as a princess!】

I raised my head and looked around, everyone had their heads bowed, no one spoke. Although the Crown Prince offered a reward of thousands of taels of gold, no one dared to accept it. On the tour, the Queen suddenly went into labor. In the middle of the deep forest and deep mountains, there was heavy rain. In the deserted temple there was only a pile of dry grass enough to lie down on. But there was a village woman up there who was so hurt that she was crying. I reluctantly helped the Queen to lie next to her. Then turn around and assign everyone, some to carry things, some to boil hot water. Who would have thought that as soon as he turned around, the Queen and the village woman had both given birth! On a pile of dry grass, two girls were entwined together, crying loudly. Can't tell who is the princess and who is the village daughter... 【I'm a princess, why am I lying on a pile of hay like this? Doesn't anyone care?!】 That small, clear voice rang out again, but everyone didn't seem to hear it. I took a step forward suspiciously, wanting to see clearly who was speaking between the two girls.
"Khuong Hoang! As a female official close to the Queen, how do you look after the Queen?"
The Crown Prince suddenly pointed his nose at me, my steps immediately stopped.
“The slave is guilty.” I honestly knelt down: "But..."
But before I could say I had a way, someone suddenly bumped my shoulder.
“Your Highness, I can tell the princess apart!”
She is the maid next to the Crown Prince, Bich Kieu.
"Oh? What can you do?"
“Your Highness, I need a wet towel.”
"Khuong Hoang! Go get it." The Crown Prince coldly instructed me.
“Thank you Khuong, auntie~”
Bich Kieu provocatively took the towel, her sharp nails fiercely scratching my palm. Without waiting for me to frown, she turned around and softly bowed:
“Your Royal Highness~ please allow this servant to carry the princess.”
With permission, Bich Kieu carried the two girls out of the haystack. Then use a wet towel to wipe clean. Waiting for the grass crumbs on the two children to be wiped away, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. No wonder Bich Kieu is so confident. This thing... everyone can tell the difference! Two girls and boys, one was thin and small, her entire body was red like a skinned stray cat. A white and chubby child, with round eyes, like a fairy descending to earth.
“Your Highness, this is the real princess!”
Bich Kieu arbitrarily put the weak female child down, then lifted the remaining child and offered it to the Crown Prince.
"Good! Reward thousands of taels of gold!"
The Crown Prince clapped his hands with satisfaction, everyone immediately regretted it. This money is too easy to earn, knowing that they also move forward! Amidst everyone's whispers, that small voice accurately entered my ears. 【Wow! What did this woman do to throw me away? What is this? I stabbed the princess to death!】 I suddenly turned my head and widened my eyes. I saw the girl lying on the ground covered in grass clippings, pouting dissatisfiedly! On the other side... the Crown Prince is carefully holding the "false princess" as he steps onto the palanquin.
“Initial bid for return—”
“Wait!”
"She's a fake! The real princess is over there!"

One hand tightened on the Prince's sleeve, the other hand pointed towards the skinny girl on the haystack. Everyone looked in the direction I pointed and was silent for a moment. Then suddenly burst out laughing.
"Miss Khuong, I know you were slapped in the face by Bich Kieu, so I don't feel sorry for you, but there's no need to be so harsh!"
"I wonder if she covets that thousand taels of gold?"
“To stubbornly say that a village woman's daughter will become a princess, this is the crime of lese majesty!”
…
“What lese majeste crime?”
A deep, majestic voice rang out from behind, and everyone immediately knelt down.
“A visit to His Majesty!”
The Emperor leisurely got off his horse: "I heard deer blood is useful for giving birth. I personally hunted it for the Queen." He threw out a wild deer: "Where are you, take the blood!"
“Your Majesty… Your Majesty has already given birth.”
The Crown Prince brought the daughter in his arms over, and the Emperor's eyes immediately lit up.
"As expected of me and the Queen's child! Just looking at it makes me feel different from ordinary people!"
The adopted Crown Prince standing next to him couldn't help but rub his nose. 【Save lives! I'm the princess! That brat was taken out by that village woman, I saw it with my own eyes!】 The princess's desperate screams could be heard in my ears. I turned my head to look, that little guy actually stretched out his hand, trying to crawl this way. 【I was a buffalo and a horse for ten lifetimes before I could exchange for this reincarnation, my glory and wealth, don't leave me behind!】 What? The little princess has actually been an animal for ten lifetimes? A feeling of unwillingness suddenly arose in my heart.
"Emperor!" I spoke up, interrupting the Emperor.
“Just now, the Queen and this village woman gave birth at the same time.”
