Chapter 3 — A Prophecy of the National Teacher, Making Me Wanted to Be Erased by the Whole Six Families

One hundred flower pots, forcing me to carry them alone, without even thinking about it, it was clearly intentionally making it difficult for me. When I moved the flowers to the garden, I saw Luc Tuyet Nhu sitting in the sun in the garden. Next to her was obviously the Crown Prince, only his thoughts seemed to be focused on the fishing rod. As soon as I passed in front of her, Luc Tuyet Nhu immediately stretched out her legs. I and the flower pot fell to the ground.

“Ugly child, do you know why I made you bring flowers here?”

“Luc Tham, you were also someone who was held in the palm of your mother's hand, right?”

"It's a pity! You don't have that fate. Your fate is indeed very strange. Actually, I've been tired of looking at these flower pots for a long time. I just want you to come and see clearly. The things you consider precious, in my eyes are nothing more than trash. As humans, we must know our own fate, and don't harbor false thoughts about things that don't belong to us."

She knows my identity, knows that I am her half-sister. Today she came, precisely to declare her status. I didn't speak, just quietly squatted down, picking up the pieces of broken flower pots on the ground. Luc Tuyet Nhu called softly, her voice soft:

“Your Highness, come here and see, how beautiful this peony is.”

The Crown Prince didn't pay much attention, didn't even glance at her once, just nonchalantly replied "Um". At that moment, I discovered that the little cat had followed me here. It saw the food displayed on Luc Tuyet Nhu's table and was hungry so it jumped up. Luc Tuyet Nhu was startled and fell off the chair...

"Damn it! Where did this stray cat come from? It's dirtying the lady's eyes!"

“Hey, isn't this the ugly stray cat that you raised?”

Perhaps Luc Tuyet Nhu felt embarrassed in front of the Crown Prince, so she got angry, glared at me, grabbed my ear and shouted:

"Did you raise it! Kill it for me!"

The family was large, and in the blink of an eye they caught the little cat. Before my eyes, they held a knife and stabbed it straight into its stomach. Cat blood splashed on people, even on the pots of peonies nearby. My eyes stopped on Luc Tuyet Nhu's body. She stood high up and looked down, glaring at me with contempt:

"Look carefully. I am a natural-born goddess, and you, Luc Tham... hmph, are just a misfortune. Look, your aunt died because of you, even Lady Song died. Now you can't even protect a cat."

"You are a god. Anyone by your side will not have a good end! It is said that the year you were born, You Chau's pestilence raged, killing countless people. As for me, I am different. I am a goddess and can protect the world."

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will let you live well, live to see me step up to the throne, below one person, above ten thousand people! Ha ha."

Luc Tuyet Nhu smiled brightly like a flower. Under the sunlight, she was so beautiful, but right now that smile was so fierce and scary.

“The Crown Prince doesn't like you!”

"So what? The Crown Princess is definitely me, that's enough."

She grabbed my hair and yanked a handful down: "Don't you dare curse me? Pull him away and hit him twenty times. I want him to remember this day forever!" I was dragged to the firewood room and suffered a full twenty strokes. Luckily, medical book I have learned a lot from the letter my wife left behind, knowing how to mix the medicine myself and apply it to the wound myself. Must be patient. Wait for the opportunity. We waited for a long time, year after year. One time, a maid was bitten by a snake, and I saved her. From then on, the people in the palace began to look at me with different eyes. The days are gradually becoming a little more comfortable. Until I turn fifteen years old. Luc Tuyet Nhu is sixteen. The Crown Prince was slow and still did not mention the marriage proposal, Luc Tuyet Nhu and the entire Luc family began to panic. A few days later, Cong Trieu came to announce the decree. It turned out that Princess Chieu Hoa, the emperor's most favored person, was thirteen years old and wanted to choose a reading partner from among the noble family. Every woman of age must participate in the selection. As soon as Luc Tuyet Nhu heard it, she looked disappointed:

"It's not like the holy edict grants marriage."

Trieu Cong Cong smiled and said:

"Miss Chieu Hoa is not right. Princess Chieu Hoa is the Crown Prince's biological sister, and is very loved by the Crown Prince. If she can often be by Princess Chieu Hoa's side, of course there will be many opportunities to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
