When Princess Tuya heard the emperor's words, she knew exactly what he was planning.

He said this, but it didn't mean he would say this. How dare the emperor let Xiao Jingchen marry her? Xiao Jingchen had just returned, and the emperor had slapped Xiao Jingchen in the face twice. Now he said this just to let her slap Xiao Jingchen in the face.

"Prince Chen?" Princess Tuya looked at Xiao Jingchen. "If his face wasn't disfigured, I could marry him, but he looks like an ugly monster now, and I will never marry someone with a disfigured appearance."

boom! ! !

This sentence shocked many people.

The emperor's mouth slightly raised, which was exactly what he wanted to see. People with damaged appearance cannot inherit the throne. Although there is no such rule in our dynasty, it was the same in previous dynasties and in history.

Moreover, when they were selecting Jinshi candidates, those with disfigured appearance would be eliminated.

When Xiao Jingchen heard these words, he clenched his hands into fists, pursed his lips, and had an angry look on his face.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face suddenly darkened.

"Prince Chen's marriage will be decided by me from now on. I will definitely find him a lady from an excellent family. Princess Mobei, you can marry someone else."

Hearing the words of the Empress Dowager, Queen Zheng also said with a smile.

"What mother said is absolutely right. The scar on Prince Chen's face can definitely be cured. His appearance is one of the best among the royal children. He will definitely find an excellent princess. Princess Mobei, your words are too humiliating. Since you are not sincere about the marriage, there is no need to talk about the marriage..."

The emperor was angry.

"Queen."

Queen Zheng looked towards the emperor indifferently.

"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

The emperor suppressed his anger and looked at Queen Zheng. But Queen Zheng was not afraid and still had a faint smile on her face.

Princess Tuya spoke after hearing what Queen Zheng said.

"It was my fault for speaking harshly. I apologize to Prince Chen. But of course, the person I marry is up to me."

When the emperor heard this, his anger towards the queen shifted to Princess Tuya. In the past few years, the Northern Border and Mobei had fought and lost with Daxia, but because of the presence of General Yun and Qin Houye, Mobei and the Northern Border had never been able to gain an advantage.

"We'll discuss this later."

Queen Zheng had a gentle smile on her face and looked around.

After Yang Guifei, Li Fei and others looked at Xiao Jingchen, they retracted their gazes. They were also wary of Xiao Jingchen coming back to grab that position. But after seeing the scar on Xiao Jingchen's face, they were much less wary. Xiao Jingchen has a scar, so it is impossible for him to be the emperor. However, their sons can win over Xiao Jingchen. Maybe with Xiao Jingchen's help, it will be easier for him to ascend to the position of the crown prince.

However, this matter must be kept secret from the emperor, otherwise, the emperor will be furious when he knows about it.

Empress Zheng, on the other hand, actually helped Prince Chen in public this time. Could it be that Empress Zheng was still trying to win over Prince Chen? Or register Prince Chen under Empress Zheng's name?

Queen Zheng is really wishful thinking. The Emperor will never agree to this. The Queen Mother will not agree to this either.

The emperor also looked at Queen Zheng with some suspicion. Queen Zheng's face was calm, and she didn't feel guilty or nervous just because the emperor was staring at her.

Princess Zhaoyang was about to stand up and confront someone, but when she saw Queen Zheng speak, she was moved.
