Chapter 10
Chapter 10 — After three years of pretending to be mute and deaf to save my life, I married the talkative Crown Prince
He said one sentence. I replied with one sentence. Finally... He met his opponent. So angry that he walked back and forth in the room twice. Only when he stopped in front of me did he speak.
"Then... change the punishment."
I looked at him warily.
"What kind of punishment?"
The prince bowed down. The distance between us is getting closer and closer. My heart suddenly pounded. He placed one hand on the wall next to my ear, softly lowering his voice.
"From today onwards..."
"Every day you have to say a hundred words to me."
"Missing one sentence..."
"Let her have a meal with her as punishment."
I was stunned.
"That's also called punishment?"
"If ten sentences are missing..."
"Put her on a tour of Ngu Hoa Garden with me as punishment."
"Twenty sentences missing..."
"Let her follow you out of the palace."
"If you don't say a word..."
His eyes slowly stopped on my lips. Instinctively, we step back. Back touches the wall. There was no way back. The corner of the Crown Prince's lips curled slightly.
"Then punish her..."
"Give her a child."
I immediately raised my knees. The smile on the Crown Prince's face immediately disappeared. He quickly took three steps back.
"To Ham Chuong!"
"A gentleman only speaks, but does not make a move!"
"I am a woman."
"Women must also know how to speak sense!"
"Did Your Highness speak the truth just now?"
The Crown Prince rubbed his leg that almost had an accident, his face turned pale. We pushed the door and walked out. Leave leisurely. Outside the door there was a row of palace servants waiting, holding tea and pouring water. They all bowed their heads simultaneously. Among them, there was a little eunuch who couldn't help but tremble slightly. In the room, the Crown Prince shouted angrily:
"If you want to laugh, just laugh!"
Immediately... A burst of laughter rang out throughout the yard. The Crown Prince's face turned black. The corner of my lips also suddenly curled up. He raised his eyes to see my smile and was stunned for a moment. And then... He himself burst into laughter. 【Chapter 10】 One year later... The Emperor abdicated the throne. Not forced. It's the person who doesn't want to do it anymore. On the day the royal edict was brought to the East Palace, the Crown Prince hugged the imperial decree and chased him straight to Ngu Hoa Vien.
"Father, please think again!"
At that time, the Emperor was sitting fishing by the lake.
"I have been thinking about this for more than twenty years."
"I'm still young."
"When I ascended the throne, I was two years younger than you."
"My god's talent is still poor."
"Your ability to scold people is enough."
"The virtuous god still has many shortcomings."
"That point... is exactly like me."
The Crown Prince was so blocked that he had nothing left to say. The Emperor retracted his fishing rod and patted him on the shoulder.
"The world... leaves it to you."
"If there are no major events in the future..."
"Don't come looking for me."
The Crown Prince stood by the lake. Holy decree in hand... It weighs like a thousand pounds. I walked over and gently patted his arm.
"Your Highness..."
He turned his head to look at me. I immediately corrected my words. Tieu Thua Sach closed his eyes.
"You're done."
"Now you should address me as 'me'."
"I... it's really done."
After ascending the throne... His first decree was to appoint me as Queen. The second holy edict... Changing the early morning tide every day to every three days. The third holy edict... It is strictly forbidden for ministers to join together to advise him on choosing a concubine and expanding his harem. The Minister of Rites was extremely dissatisfied. He knelt for half an hour in court, firmly stating that the royal family was related to the country. After listening, Tieu Thua Sach slowly asked:
"How many sons do you have, sir?"
"Informing Your Majesty, there are five people."
"To be so good at giving birth..."
"Or is it too much for you two?"
The Minister of Rites was so scared that he repeatedly bowed his head.
"I don't dare!"
"You still dare to take charge of my harem..."
"What else do you not dare to do?"
From then on... No one dared to mention the matter of concubine selection anymore. Two years later. I gave birth to a prince. The Emperor held his grandson in his arms and laughed until he couldn't close his mouth. The Queen Mother... No, now she must be called the Queen Mother. The person held my hand, his eyes filled with contentment.
"Ham Chuong."
"This baby... his eyes and eyebrows are very similar to yours."
Tieu Thua Sach leaned his head over to take a look.
"Like her in what way?"
The Queen Mother pointed to the child.
"Quiet."
Tieu Thua Sach nodded.
"Indeed."
But... That very night. The baby cried for three hours. The nanny coaxed him endlessly. The doctor also did not find out the reason. Tieu Thua Sach hugged his child and walked back and forth throughout the main hall.
"What are you crying about?"
"Asleep?"
"Are your clothes uncomfortable?"
"Or is it simply... looking at the emperor's father is annoying?"
The baby immediately cried even louder. I lie on the bed. The sound of crying makes my mind numb. Tieu Thua Sach immediately turned around.
"You... try being quiet."
He was not convinced.
"I'm comforting you."
"You comforted me to the point that my three nannies cried together."
In the corner of the palace... A nurse quietly wiped away her tears. Tieu Thua Sach had to keep his mouth shut. The palace immediately became quiet again.
