In my heart, I cursed this old fox, but my face was full of tears, and even my voice trembled: "Your Majesty... Your servant... Your servant knows that I am of humble origin, and now I have lost my memory, like a useless woman... Miss Zhao is of noble birth and status, your servant... Your servant dare not marry someone above your station... I only ask Your Majesty to have mercy on me and let me... let me..." I deliberately stopped talking, covered my face and cried, my shoulders trembling slightly, like a frightened little rabbit, wanting pity.

Li Heng looked at me with great interest. This old fox's eyes were like a scanner, scanning my body, which made me feel creepy. Wouldn't he find anything wrong?

"What are you talking about, my dear?" Li Heng finally spoke, his voice was unremarkable, "You are my chosen candidate for the Crown Princess, who dares to say that you are of humble origin?"

What?! Crown Princess?!

I raised my head suddenly, and met Li Heng's deep gaze, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, which made me feel very nervous. What on earth is this old fox up to?

"Your Majesty..." I just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zhao Sisi's sharp voice.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible! How can Lin Qingya be the Crown Princess?!" Zhao Sisi jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, pointing at my nose and cursing, "She is just a..."

“How dare you!” Li Heng shouted angrily, frightening Zhao Sisi so much that her neck shrank and she swallowed the rest of her words.

"Zhao Sisi, you are so brave!" Li Heng slammed the table, pointed at Zhao Sisi's nose and cursed, "I am not dead yet! When will it be your turn as a young girl to make decisions in the selection of the Crown Princess?!"

Zhao Sisi was so frightened that her face turned pale. She fell to her knees with a thud, trembling all over, and couldn't even speak.

I was secretly happy. You, a fool, dared to provoke me! See, you just lifted a rock and dropped it on yourself, didn't you?

Li Heng glanced coldly at Zhao Sisi, who was lying on the ground, then turned to look at me, his tone softening a little: "Qingya, don't be afraid, I will support you, and no one can bully you."

I felt a chill in my heart. Is this old fox tired of acting? He even said it was "elegant", so corny! However, since he was supporting me, I was naturally happy and relaxed.

I lowered my head and responded, but in my heart I was thinking about how to get rid of this hot potato of "Crown Princess". Crown Prince? Whoever wants to be the crown prince can be the crown prince, but I don't want it!

At this time, a gentle voice suddenly interrupted: "Father, I think Miss Zhao was just anxious and spoke without thinking. Please calm down."

I looked up and saw that the person who spoke was the crown prince, Li Chengqian. He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, a white jade belt around his waist, and a golden crown on his head, looking like a handsome young man.

"Your Highness is very generous, unlike some people..." Before I finished speaking, I felt a cold gaze falling on me.

I followed his gaze and saw a man in a black brocade robe staring at me coldly. He had sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips tightly pursed, and a cold aura emanating from his body that kept people away.

Who is it?

I was confused, but then I saw the guard beside me whispered, "Your Highness Prince Jin."

King Jin? Could it be the most mysterious prince of the dynasty, the younger brother of the current emperor, Li Chengyin?

I was shocked. I heard that this Prince Jin was a great warrior, but he was cold and cruel, with mood swings, and no one dared to approach him easily. Now that I saw him, I found that his reputation was indeed true.

Li Chengyin's eyes were sharp as a sword, as if he could see through me. I felt uncomfortable being stared at, but I forced myself to look at him calmly.

"Why is your uncle looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my face?" I asked in a deliberately relaxed tone, with a hint of provocation in my tone.

Li Chengyin didn't say anything, but just curled the corners of his mouth coldly. The smile didn't reach his eyes, but instead revealed a chill that made me shudder.

This man is not to be trifled with! My heart was secretly alarmed.

"Royal brother, you've come at the right time. I have something to announce." Li Heng said with a smile, as if he didn't notice the undercurrent between the two. "I have decided to marry Lin Qingya, the legitimate daughter of the Lin family, to the prince. Let's choose a date to get married!"

When these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible!" Zhao Sisi was the first to jump out and object. She pointed at me and shouted at the top of her lungs, "How can Lin Qingya, whose identity and origin are unknown, be the Crown Princess?!"

"Zhao Sisi, shut up!" Li Heng shouted angrily, "My mind is made up, whoever dares to speak out, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship!"

Zhao Sisi shut up unwillingly, but the look she gave me was full of resentment and jealousy.

Li Chengqian's face also flashed a trace of displeasure, but he quickly concealed it and said respectfully to Li Heng: "Father, your son..."

"Cheng Qian, Qingya is a gentle, virtuous, well-educated and sensible child. I believe she will be a good wife for you." Li Heng spoke in an unquestionable tone.

I stood aside, watching this farce with cold eyes, but my heart was not disturbed. Crown Princess? I don't care!

I was thinking about how to reject this marriage, but suddenly I felt a burning gaze on me. I looked up and saw Li Chengyin's deep and dark eyes.

There seemed to be thousands of words hidden in 놛놅's eyes, but he said nothing.
