After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Cui Rongrong responded calmly, but she could clearly see the calmness in Song Yanyi's tone, "Since you know you made a mistake, you can just correct it."

This kind of demeanor was not possessed by the seventeen-year-old Song Yanyi. That familiar yet intimidating attitude made Cui Rong feel a chill in her heart.

Living his life over again, what is he planning?

Thinking of this, Cui Rong's heart was in turmoil, but her face remained calm.

Once the truth is revealed, there will be endless troubles. She can't let Song Yanyi know that she also has memories of her past life.

Song Yanyi's gaze moved across Cui Rongrong's face, and a hint of doubt emerged in his heart.

According to his memories from his previous life, he was about to encounter a disaster on his way back from mourning, but fortunately he was rescued by the Cui family who were passing by.

He and Cui Rong became acquainted because of this, which led to all the subsequent events. However, after waiting on the boat that day, Cui Jia did not show up. If his follower Mo Yi had not helped him break the window and escape, he would have been killed by the assassin.

Why did things change? He was confused...

"Ninth brother," Song Yanyi's thoughts came back to him in an instant, and he said to His Highness the Ninth Prince, "Your words were inappropriate, why don't you apologize quickly?"

The Ninth Prince was young, and when Song Yanyi glanced at him fiercely, he felt a chill down his spine, and admitted his fault in a low voice: "My brother was wrong in his words, please forgive me, sister-in-law."

Seeing this, everyone thought that Song Yanyi was defending the Crown Princess. The women whispered, "The eldest daughter of the Cui family is so lucky. The Crown Prince is so handsome and loves her so much. It's really enviable."

"That's right. I won't let her suffer any injustice. I really hold her in my hands!"

These compliments were a great irony to Cui Rong, like a sharp knife piercing her heart.

Good fortune? Love?

If they knew about the piles of bones in their homes, would they still say that? !

Cui Rong sneered in her heart. How could she not know what Song Yanyi was thinking? She was just using this incident to enhance their favorability and get closer to each other.

In the crowd, Zhao Xianer's expression became increasingly ugly, and she could barely conceal her emotions.

She was already a famous beauty. When Cui Rong came, she not only stole the limelight but also won Song Yanyi's protection. How could she not hate him with gnashing teeth?

The position of Crown Princess should have belonged to her. Why should a girl from the wild compete with her?

"You can correct your mistakes. Your Highness the Ninth Prince is young and ignorant. Your Highness the Crown Prince can take him back and teach him strictly. There is no need to say more to me."

Cui Rongrong said indifferently, not appreciating it at all: "Perhaps it is the influence of the surrounding environment that makes His Highness the Ninth Prince speak frivolously. Your Highness the Crown Prince needs to be more careful."

Song Yanyi and His Highness the Ninth Prince have been close since childhood. What is Cui Rongrong's intention in saying this? Is she questioning His Highness the Crown Prince's ability?

Song Yanyi's smile froze on his face, and the people around him also showed surprise.

He even disdained His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his words were full of sarcasm. Wasn't this intended to embarrass the Crown Prince?

Song Yanyi felt something was unusual, but he didn't get angry. He asked again, "I heard that the Cui family passed through Yangzhou on their way back to the capital, where bandits are rampant and boat interceptions occur frequently. Did Miss Rong Rong have a smooth journey?"

How could Cui Rong not understand his hidden meaning? He was clearly suspecting that the incident was different from that in his previous life, and suspected that she also retained the memories of her previous life.

"My father was very cautious. He heard that there might be pirates in Yangzhou, so he was very careful on the road. That's why we had a safe journey."

Cui Rong sneered in her heart and narrated calmly with her face as calm as water.

Song Yanyi frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was more and more strange. How could it be so foolproof? Could it really be done by the sixteen-year-old Cui Rong?

It's as if I've lost the innocence that I should have at this age.

Someone else interrupted and said, "On the contrary, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince encountered an attack in Yangzhou and was in danger. Fortunately, he finally arrived in Shengjing safely."

"Yes, Your Highness is blessed with great fortune, and can turn misfortune into fortune!"

When Cui Rongrong heard this, her eyes changed slightly and she felt a chill in her heart.

To others, it was Song Yanyi's luck, but to her, it was a missed great opportunity.

She was just a little bit away from taking the other person's life and ending this evil relationship, but Song Yanyi luckily escaped.

"Miss Rong."

Song Yanyi noticed that her eyes were fluctuating and her emotions seemed to be turbulent, so he asked meaningfully, "It seems that the girl does not agree with this?"

Of course she disagreed and wished she could grind him to ashes, and wished Song Yanyi could also experience the pain she felt that day.

The pain that goes deep into the bone is hard to describe in words.

"how could be?"

Cui Rongrong chuckled: "As the crown prince, we, the subjects, naturally hope that the crown prince is safe and sound, so that the country can be stable and prosperous."

Song Yanyi raised his eyebrows, as if he was going to test the opponent with words, but unexpectedly the eunuch announced loudly: "Your Majesty summons you!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, don't just stand there, get ready for the audience!"

"You haven't straightened your skirt yet. Do you want to be disrespectful in front of the emperor?"

The women who were watching the fun then put their thoughts aside and straightened their appearance for fear of losing their composure in front of the hall.

Cui Rong felt a little relieved, withdrew her gaze, and focused on adjusting the hem of her skirt.

Song Yanyi's eyes were fixed deeply on her, as if he wanted to catch a hint of flaw in her face.

Led by the chief eunuch, everyone took their seats one by one. There was singing and dancing, and the atmosphere was very lively.

The emperor on the dragon throne stroked his beard, looking at Cui Rong with interest, and smiled at Cui Min, "Your daughter is really getting more and more beautiful. Although she has lived in the frontier for a long time, she is still as beautiful as a lotus flower emerging from water."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty," Cui Min bowed quickly, "I am truly humbled to receive your praise."

"I remember that she will be a 15-year-old next year. If so, we can start planning for her marriage to Yi'er."

engagement……

Cui Rongrong's heart tightened, as if pierced by ice, so cold that it made her sober. In her previous life, it was this marriage contract that bound her, and until her family was broken up, she deeply realized the desolation of sharing weal and woe.

If being connected with Song Yanyi was a disaster, then avoiding him would be her first priority.

"Your Majesty," Cui Rong hurried forward, sincere and resolute, "Please forgive my disrespect. It is difficult for me to agree to marry the Crown Prince."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and exchanged looks in disbelief.

Refusing to marry the prince, isn't that blatantly opposing the emperor?

Although Song Yanyi was sent to the imperial mausoleum to mourn and had been away from government affairs for many years, his prestige was no longer what it used to be, but the position of crown prince was extremely respected and not something that ordinary people could achieve.

"Why is this?"

The emperor looked confused and stared at Cui Rongrong's expression: "You and Yi'er are a perfect match, and it is a good story. Moreover, this is a childhood engagement, so how can you regret it?"

Song Yanyi also stepped forward and said earnestly: "Miss Rongrong, our marriage has been decided long ago. I am ready to spend my life with you and will never let you down. Please rest assured."

Cui Rongrong responded calmly: "Thanks to your majesty's kindness, I naturally believe what your Highness the Crown Prince says. However, the war on the border has not yet ended. My father is a loyal and brave marquis. How can I covet personal comfort at this time? I grew up with my parents on the border since I was a child. It is my responsibility to ensure the peace of the border people."

"Therefore, I beg your Majesty to put the marriage on hold for now, and wait until the world is at peace before discussing private affairs."
