Chapter 4
Chapter 4 — I am the Crown Prince Concubine to the Queen Mother
I endured the Queen's knife-like gaze, gritted my teeth, made up my mind, and splashed the entire glass of wine onto the Crown Prince's sleeve.
"The goddess deserves death! Please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
As I said that, I removed the Crown Prince's hand and used a towel to randomly wipe his arm. The moment I saw the truth, my heart almost stopped beating! Oh my God!!! The ring finger is actually a bit longer than the middle finger!!! How could this happen?!?

There's only an empty space left in my head right now. If the Crown Prince is real, then why did he kill me? Schizophrenia? Just as I was still kneeling on the ground thinking endlessly, a pair of strong hands helped me up.
“Nhu Y, you don't need to lower yourself to do these trivial things, you are already very good.”
I was so scared that I spoke nonsense:
“So… what am I originally?”
The Crown Prince patted my back, his voice carrying a seductive tone:
"You are not like the women of this era. You have advanced thoughts and superior technology."
“Pouring tea and serving wine is not your job — it's just a waste of your talent.”
In the chaos, I suddenly caught the key point and immediately asked:
“What talent?”
The Crown Prince smiled gently and held my hand:
“Salt making, soap making, algebra, even improving weapons — those are the things that really appeal to me.”
The more he talked, the more my heart sank to the bottom. It's over - I've met my compatriots! The Crown Prince was not replaced by a replacement at all - but was transmigrated! Intuition tells me: Absolutely cannot reveal the identity of a time-traveling woman! I immediately knelt down on the ground:
"Your Highness, what about soap and math? A woman with no talent is virtuous! This goddess only knows how to take exams and draw!"
This time it was the Crown Prince's turn to be angry:
“No way!”
"Haven't you been talking about everyone being equal and monogamous? Are you trying to set me up?"
I tearfully begged:
"It's because the goddess is so jealous that she wants to monopolize your highness's favor, so she makes wild lies! Your Highness, please forgive me!"
The mother and the three remaining people also quickly knelt down:
"My father did not teach his children strictly, making the Queen and His Highness laugh!"
The air immediately cooled down. Today is the concubine selection banquet. Although the Queen doesn't look pleasing to my eyes, she doesn't want to make a big deal out of it. So step out to reconcile:
"As expected of a Marquis's daughter, brave but a bit rude. Why don't you go down and change your clothes."
The Crown Prince left angrily.

I returned to my mother's side, cold sweat drenched my spine. The three people looked at me, their eyes full of scrutiny. I could only raise my glass of wine to mean:
"This wine is indeed the legendary jade liquid wine, absolutely unadulterated. Real wine is still the best to drink."
I almost cried:
“I didn't expect it to be real wine, huh huh huh, but it's really delicious.”
The sister was so miserable that she couldn't say a word:
“Sure enough, there can be no fake wine in the palace.”
Only the target remained calm:
“Drink a little, don't be rude in front of the Crown Prince.”
After a stick of incense, the Crown Prince finished changing his clothes and returned to his seat. It's just that, from beginning to end, their eyes never glanced at me. The Queen announced the law of choosing concubines:
"Choosing a concubine has always been based on talent and virtue. My son doesn't care about birth or appearance. Just answer the three questions below and he can become a wife. Crown Princess.”
As soon as the words ended, the whole school was in an uproar. No restrictions on status? It's like giving away a free opportunity!
“The first sentence: 'The period of change is immutable', what is the next sentence?"
My eldest sister and my third sister simultaneously bowed their heads and pressed their chests together, not daring to utter a single word.
“Tan Nhu Y! You answer. If you cannot answer, it is a crime of lese majesty!”
I immediately knelt down on the ground. Damn it! It's true that he still doubts me.
“Your Highness, I know how to stew chicken soup and pick fresh lotus roots to make the soup more delicious. But 'when the chicken turns into a lotus root, it doesn't change', the goddess really doesn't know how to cook it."
The ladies below the stage all listened and covered their mouths with laughter. The Queen shook her head in disappointment. At this moment, from the corner of the hall, a blue-shirted woman suddenly raised her head and shouted:
“Coordinates look badge!”
Wow — There's really a fellow countryman who got hooked! The Crown Prince was immediately attracted and told me to go away. The Queen was also very pleased:
“Second question, what year was the Jenny spinning machine invented?”
The woman in blue continued without hesitation:
“1764!”
The Crown Prince and Queen's eyes lit up at the same time.
“Final question: Write the entire periodic table of chemical elements and write the chemical formula of the bleaching principle in bleach.”
The palace maid offered her a pen and ink, and the woman immediately wrote a few times and was done. The lady below was completely bewildered. From the first sentence, I didn't understand what they were asking. The Crown Prince seemed to have found a precious treasure. Among so many people, he opened his mouth to ask about family matters:
“Correct answer, how is your academic performance?”
The blue-shirted woman confidently replied:
“Doctor!”
“Good! Good! Good!”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said "good" three times in a row, directly declaring:
“From now on, you are my Crown Princess!”
