Chapter 1 — Thanh Ngoc Dai Thuong

During the hunting session, a miniature painting suddenly fell out of the Crown Prince's arms. The person in the painting looks exactly like his successor. In front of the civil and military mandarins, the Crown Prince could not pretend that nothing had happened. Just when the Emperor was angry, the Crown Prince suddenly pointed at me. "The Tham family's concubine, Tham Tang, is the person I am in love with. I beg your father to give me a hand in marriage."In my previous life, I was given a hand in marriage to the Crown Prince for no reason. On the surface, he treated me extremely well, personally hunting white foxes for me, and carefully peeling shrimp for me to eat. When I had a hard time giving birth, he even knelt in front of the ancestral temple to pray for blessings. But after the Crown Prince ascended the throne, my father and elder brother were punished, and the entire Tham family was exiled. And I was imprisoned in a water prison. The new Emperor held the First Emperor's step-daughter - who was also his step-mother - in his arms, gently coaxing him. "That year, if I hadn't used Tham Thi to prevent disaster, the matter between you and me would have been discovered by your father long ago." "I only favored her in exchange for the support of the Tham family." "She has six or seven points in common with you. From now on, you will be able to take on her identity, be upright and honest with me." "I said you are the same as me." is the bride, then she is the bride." As soon as I opened my eyes, I returned just as the Crown Prince asked for his hand in marriage. I immediately knelt down. "Your Majesty, this goddess already has someone in her heart!" During the hunting session, when the painting of the beauty in the Crown Prince's arms fell out, many people saw it with their own eyes. Especially the Emperor. My whole body is cold. Because right before that, I was imprisoned in a water prison, seeing with my own eyes the new emperor holding the successor of the First Emperor in his arms, telling the whole truth. The person in that miniature painting was never me from beginning to end! I and the entire Tham family are just pawns for the Crown Prince to use to shield from disaster! How sad! At this time, just like in his previous life, the Crown Prince quickly regained his composure. As he bent down to pick up the miniature painting, he pointed at me, his eyes filled with affection. "The Tham family's concubine, Tham Tang, is the person I love." The Crown Prince's voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly. He never looked behind him once. All eyes immediately turned from the miniature painting to others. "I beg my father to give me a kiss!" The Crown Prince clasped the miniature painting in his palm and knelt down in front of the Emperor. Extremely sincere attitude. The next queen is twelve years older than the Crown Prince, and I am in my prime. Normal people would think that the person the Crown Prince truly loves is me. In his previous life, before he could voice his doubts, the Crown Prince asked the Emperor for his hand in marriage. Because the Emperor must make everyone believe that the beauty in the miniature is me. If not...others will think of the next thing. As soon as I finished speaking, I immediately knelt down. "Your Majesty, I already have someone in my heart!"... Of course, I cannot directly say that the person in the miniature painting is my successor. For the sake of royal dignity, the Emperor will definitely vent his anger on me. The Crown Prince's hand clenched tightly, his eyes darted quickly. "Father, I fell in love with Tham Tang at first sight, and had intended to propose to her for a long time. I also had someone investigate, never finding out that she had any romantic intentions." My heart suddenly sank. I was negligent! It seems that the Crown Prince has already set his sights on the Tham family and me. In other words, regardless of whether the miniature painting happens or not, he will still turn me into a chess piece. I'm not willing! I raised my head, letting the Emperor see my face clearly. Letting people recognize me and my successors do indeed have some similarities. The Crown Prince fell in love with a woman whose appearance resembled his stepmother. I wonder what the Emperor would think at this moment? Sure enough, the Emperor slightly narrowed his eyes. Eyes

cloudy because of the color of wine that is intently kicking my price. I quickly glanced behind me. His eyes especially stopped at the corner of her right eye. I remember correctly that she had a tear mole. I hastily said: "Your Majesty, I and the Crown Prince are not familiar with you. In my memory, I have never had close contact with you. I don't understand why Your Highness the Crown Prince is so loyal to you." I changed my tone and continued: "Just now I also accidentally saw the miniature painting, it seems like the princess in the painting has a tear mole. But I don't have a mole. I slowly blinked my eyes, allowing the Emperor to clearly see that the corners of my eyes were clean, without a single mole of tears. The Crown Prince is panicking. There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He was completely no longer as calm as in his previous life. I have to break his will little by little, forcing him step by step to the brink of collapse. "Your Highness the Crown Prince, can you show the miniature painting to the Emperor?" The corner of the Crown Prince's eyes shone coldly, giving me a sharp glance like a knife. But he quickly hid it.
