Why are you messing with her? She is full of space beasts.

Chapter 371: Crown Prince

Is this girl a princess?

As far as she knew, Prince Mingyang did not have a daughter, so this princess should be one who was personally conferred by the emperor.

He looks good, and his neither humble nor servile appearance makes people like him even more.

"My dear ministers, many people have just said that Tian'er is not worthy of the position of Crown Prince. I would like to hear what is wrong with Tian'er?"

The emperor spoke majestically.

The ministers below were whispering to each other, especially those officials who had just stood up, now all of them were silent.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Qing's heart sank to the bottom. It was over! The result she had been looking forward to for so long was ruined by the brainless Jun Luoli. Jun Lintian was no fool, and she had also been demoted to a concubine. What could she use to fight the Queen?

Seeing that no one said anything, the emperor said, "Minister He, you were the one who took the lead just now, so you, my dear, please tell us what you have to say!"

When his name was called, Minister He's legs trembled and he knelt down with a plop. "I was just confused for a moment... This second prince is the queen's son, and he is so powerful, so he is naturally the best candidate for the crown prince."

"What do you think of what Minister He said?"

The emperor looked at the courtiers below, and his sharp eyes swept over the courtiers who had just spoken. Those courtiers shuddered and hurried to the middle of the hall.

"I think what Minister He said makes sense."

The queen sneered, these court officials changed their attitudes faster than turning the pages of a book. Her gaze fell on Concubine Qing again, her eyes full of sarcasm.

"Okay, let's all get down!"

The emperor waved his hand and glanced at the absent-minded Concubine Qing with the corner of his eyes. A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. This Concubine Qing was really ambitious. It was good to make such a fuss. It could just erase the thoughts in her mind. If she dared to do anything else, he wouldn't mind killing her.

At this time, the Queen Mother spoke again, "Emperor and Queen, the Crown Prince has been decided, and you should also carefully look for the Crown Princess."

When the daughters of the rich families heard the Queen Mother's words, they were eager to try. The officials who had daughters were even more excited. If their daughters were chosen, they would become future dukes, and their status would be greatly elevated!

In the past, these women’s gazes would never linger on Jun Lintian, but now, in an instant, all those fiery gazes were focused on Jun Lintian.

Jun Lintian's face suddenly turned dark, and he just wanted to escape from here.

His pleading eyes fell on Ji Jiuying again. Ji Jiuying shook her head, indicating that she could not help him with this matter. Jun Lintian was in tears.

"Grandma, my grandson has no plans to marry yet..."

Jun Lintian looked at the Queen Mother and said.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Tian'er, you are already an adult. It's time for you to help your father take care of some government affairs. It's not like you have to marry the Crown Princess right away."

The Queen's mind was full of thoughts. She could see through the Queen Mother's thoughts clearly. She smiled and said, "Tian'er, your grandmother is right. Tell me the type you like someday and I will help you find one."

Just as Jun Lintian was about to say something, Jun Buhui stepped forward and grabbed the queen's hand, "Mother, I know what type my brother likes. He likes someone like Sister Xiaojiu."

puff!

Ji Jiuying spat out a mouthful of old tea, and everyone's attention in the hall was attracted.

Even the emperor and the empress were surprised, but they could obviously see that Ji Jiuying did not have such thoughts about Tianer.

However, the ministers and female relatives below were disappointed. The prince liked a woman like Ji Jiuying, so there was no place for them.

"Buhui, you can't say such things. It will ruin your sister Xiaojiu's reputation." Jun Lintian looked at Ji Jiuying apologetically, picked up Jun Buhui and said seriously.

"Buhui is not talking nonsense. I just saw you winking at Sister Xiaojiu."

Jun Lintian suddenly choked.

The Queen Mother was curious about who this Sister Xiaojiu that Jun Buhui mentioned was. From her tone, this Sister Xiaojiu should also be present, and the daughter of a minister. If she had decent character, she could be the Crown Princess. And the most important thing was that Tian'er liked her.

"Buhui, come over here to Grandma Huang."

Jun Buhui walked over, and Ji Jiuying suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Tell Grandma Huang, who is that Little Nine Sister you are talking about?"

Jun Buhui pointed at Ji Jiuying and said, "Grandma, the person who saved Buhui just now was Sister Xiaojiu."

Upon seeing this, the emperor quickly explained, "Mother, this is the Princess Anping whom I conferred upon her. She is also the only first-rank Princess in the court."

The Queen Mother's gaze fell on Ji Jiuying again, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. A first-rank princess? Her rank was higher than that of the ministers in the court? How could this girl deserve the title of a first-rank princess by the Emperor?

The Queen Mother asked Ji Jiuying, "Whose family is Princess Anping from?"

Ji Jiuying stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am the eldest daughter of General Ji, Ji Jiuying."

Although she really didn't want to use the title of Ji Chenyuan's daughter, the fact that she was not Ji Chenyuan's daughter had not been spread. Now that Ji Chenyuan was dead, there was little point in talking about those things, and even she might be criticized.

General Ji's eldest daughter? She remembered that this girl was engaged to the Third Prince Jun Linyu.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother swept her eyes through the crowd, "Why isn't General Ji here?"

"Mother, General Ji's family was killed by a gangster killer and has gone to...Princess Anping was in Xingchen Academy at the time, so...she escaped." The queen said in a low voice.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly. So that's how it is.

"Emperor, how come I remember that Yu'er's Third Prince's wife was General Ji's eldest daughter?"

"Mother, the marriage has been cancelled long ago."

The Queen Mother thought about it and decided that Ji Jiuying was not suitable for Tian'er. If General Ji were still alive, he would indeed be a good candidate.

However, she will soon realize that it is not Ji Jiuying who is not worthy of Jun Lintian, but Jun Lintian who is not worthy of Ji Jiuying. She will also know why the emperor gave her such a high-ranking princess.

"Let the matter of the Crown Princess be handled by the Queen~" the Queen Mother said quietly, her tone flat making it impossible to guess what she was thinking at the moment.

Jun Lintian and Ji Jiuying both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They were both afraid of being matched up with someone randomly.

The queen glanced at the emperor, who coughed lightly and said, "The matter of the Crown Princess cannot be rushed, so why not leave it to the ministers? If you have any suitable candidates or your own daughters, please recommend them~"

All the court officials were delighted, especially those who had daughters. It was a great honor for their daughters to be qualified to be selected as the Crown Princess.

The following palace banquet was the highlight.

Those daughters of wealthy families began to show off their talents and performed very hard. Even if they were not chosen by the Queen, it would be great if they were noticed by some princes and nobles.

Ji Jiuying felt a little bored, so she pulled Qingling and sneaked away.
