Chapter 16
Chapter 16 — After the divorce, I was awarded the title of King
"I have submitted a request to the Emperor, asking for orders to stay in Hoang Chau to monitor the situation of the Yellow River, preserve your achievements in water management, and not let problems occur again." "The Emperor has prepared for me to guard Hoang Chau. I will not leave without incident." I heard it and was stunned. Unexpectedly, she would give up the path of becoming an official in the capital and ask herself to go out to become a local official. Looking at her for a moment, I finally nodded: "It's up to you." I know, from now on, Giang So Uyen and I will never see each other again. When I stepped out of the room filled with the smell of tobacco, the sunlight outside the door fell on me. As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw Tu Thanh Hoan waiting in front of the door. The woman stood still in place, not losing patience at all. Seeing me leave, her eyes immediately softened. I strode forward, holding her hand: "Let's go, let's return to the capital." In the fall of July, the tired group returned to the capital. What makes me both happy and worried is that the Queen Mother was supported by her palace maid, waiting outside the city gate. Seeing me dismount from my horse and kneel to worship, the Queen Mother smiled and signaled the eunuch to declare the decree. "Phung Thien inherited the fortune, the emperor's edict wrote: Bui Tac Du has merit in ruling water, has talent and is also specially appointed as district king." The holy edict read three parts, I and all the people behind me who have merit in controlling water will be rewarded. After receiving the decree, the Queen Mother laughed loudly and asked someone to help me stand up. "Tac Du, you've been awarded the title of county king, what are your plans for the future?" After listening, I reached out and grabbed Tu Thanh Hoan's hand next to me. Smiling, she replied: "Your Majesty, I and General Tu are excited about the upcoming event and would like to invite the Queen Mother to drink a cup of wine to celebrate." The Queen Mother was stunned, then overjoyed. “Okay, okay, everyone will definitely drink this celebratory cup of wine.” My eyes looked towards Tu Thanh Hoan, the two of them smiled in agreement. I believe that my new life will be full of happiness. Full text complete.
