"I heard you're also in the selection for consort this time?"
Chen Leyao was taken aback, assuming he thought she was of the same character as Huo Haitang, so she quickly said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, we of the Chen family have not sought any..."
Halfway through, Chen Leyao couldn't continue.
No help? But her mother had sought out Princess Pingxi and Lin Wei before!
Moreover, her brother was the prospective brother-in-law of Princess Pingxi, and the princess was the sworn sister of His Highness, the Crown Prince. With such twisted connections, who would believe the Chen family did not use the back door?
Zhao Hongde shook his head with a smile, obviously not wanting to entangle with her on this matter, and instead switched the topic to another matter.
"Three years ago, we met. You haven't forgotten, have you?"
Met?
This time, Chen Leyao was genuinely confused and involuntarily raised her head to scrutinize Zhao Hongde's face.
