Chapter 3 — After the divorce, I was awarded the title of King

"Three days later there will be a flower reward party. Whoever finds the Queen Mother's beloved phoenix jade pendant in the apricot garden, the Queen Mother will unconditionally grant that person's request." My heart immediately felt lighter, extremely lucky that the Queen Mother was willing to give me the opportunity. Now, just waiting for the flower reward party three days later. For the next three days, Giang So Uyen was probably entangled by Ve Lang Tu and did not come to bother me anymore. I'm also happy to be quiet. On the day of the flower reward party, before departure, Giang So Uyen finally showed up. Next to her, there was also Ve Lang Tu who went to the party. The flower reward party organized by the Queen Mother has always been bustling, with carriages from different palaces connecting endlessly, making the hall extremely bustling. Giang So Uyen helped me into the door, carefully brushed off the snow for me, served tea and poured water, attentive to every detail. When I mentioned separation, she seemed to have never heard of it. Her care for me still attracts many eyes. I felt many disdainful looks falling on me, and some people openly mocked me. "It's been spread throughout the capital. Bui Tac Du took advantage of Lord Giang's time when he was out on official business, but he secretly cheated on someone else." "Phi! He doesn't know good or bad like that, so he's not worthy of Lord Giang treating him well." "If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's embarrassment, I'm afraid Lord Giang would have retired Bui Tac Du a long time ago." "I heard that the Queen Mother dropped her beloved phoenix jade pendant. If anyone finds it, they can ask the Queen Mother for a wish. If Lord Giang gets the jade pendant, he will surely ask the Queen Mother for permission to retire Bui Tac Du, right?" In the midst of those unpleasant discussions, Giang So Uyen's cold voice rang out in my ears. "Husband, Lang Tu is afraid of the cold, please give up your seat and let him sit inside." I turned my head to face Giang So Uyen's silent urging eyes. I laughed sarcastically, stood up and left, going to the apricot garden. I can't stand it anymore. Find the jade pendant a little sooner, and separate with Giang So Uyen a little sooner. Heavy snow flew everywhere, the wind was bone-chillingly cold. Until I almost lost consciousness in my arms and legs, I finally found the Queen Mother's jade pendant and phoenix inscription on the apricot branch. Picking up the jade pendant, the red piece of jade felt warm to the touch, and on it was an engraved scene of a peaceful phoenix. In the wind came a few scattered voices of discussion. "Who is the young master next to Lord Giang? Why did you specially break the apricot for him?" "Dai Ngu has a saying since ancient times that picking apricot is synonymous with choosing a beauty, giving someone apricot blossoms means admiring that person in your heart. Is it possible that Lord Giang doesn't know?" "That young master is a doctor. I heard he was a disciple of the god doctor. A few years ago, he went to Jiang residence to treat Mr. Giang's old illness. I heard that he was already in love with Mr. Giang." "If it weren't for Bui Tac Du stepping in with one leg, people say it would have been three years of carrying the two of them." I stood there, listening to everyone's chatter. His eyes fell on Giang So Uyen in the crowd. She was holding a few apricot branches, with her other hand supporting Ve Lang Tu, preventing him from stepping on the snow and slipping. They look more like a couple supporting each other. Noticing my gaze, Giang So Uyen raised her eyes and looked over, slightly stunned, then strode towards me. He also pulled out a branch of apricot and stuffed it into my hand. "These apricot branches are broken for Lang Tu. I can only give you one branch." “Don't be greedy.” I heard it and found it wild. Do you think I came to the apricot garden to claim the apricot blossoms in your hand? I raised my hand and threw away the apricot branch, glanced at Giang So Uyen, and said sarcastically: "I don't bother sharing things with others." Apricot flowers are like that, so are women. Having finished speaking, I turned around to leave, but was stopped by Ve Lang Tu. He raised his hand to snatch the jade pendant from my hand. "Tac Du, this piece of jade pendant engraved with a beautiful phoenix and phoenix, is it okay to give it to me?" In Ve Lang Tu's eyes, there was malicious provocation and a must-have look. I tightened my grip on the jade pendant, using all my strength to escape from Ve Lang Tu. Ve Lang Tu could not snatch the jade pendant, fell towards Giang So Uyen, immediately felt sorry for himself and said: "Sho Uyen, I heard that the Queen Mother lost her beloved phoenix jade pendant, who found the jade pendant?

The traitor will be rewarded by the Queen Mother. I've never seen what the Queen Mother's reward looks like..." "Tac Du got the jade pendant, can you tell him to give me the jade pendant?" Having finished speaking, Giang So Uyen looked at the jade pendant in my hand. Almost without hesitation, she ordered: "Tac Du, give the jade pendant to Lang Tu." "You don't lack anything, this jade pendant you keep is useless." That matter-of-fact tone stabbed into my stomach filled with anger. I held the jade pendant and looked straight into Giang So Uyen's eyes. “Who said I don't lack anything?” “I told her many times I wanted to break up, but she pretended not to hear. This piece of jade pendant is just right for me to take and ask for grace from the Queen Mother." “After we broke up, you didn't have to pretend to like me anymore. If you want to marry Ve Lang Tu, feel free to do so.” Perhaps only the Empress Dowager's reputation is useful. This time, Giang So Uyen finally listened to me.
