Chapter 1 — Bowl of Noodles on the Wedding Night

The palace invited Mr. to come teach our sisters how to play chess. The elder sister lost three games in a row and angrily threw down the chess piece. Father immediately said that his daughter did not need to compete and win, then ordered someone to take away the chess board. That day, I just defeated half of your army. Mother patted my hand again: "Today, sister, you're not happy, don't mention chess anymore." Later, whenever there was a winner or loser in the family, the person who couldn't bear to lose would always be the eldest sister. The same goes for friendship. Prince Ky was my childhood friend, and even the date of marriage was already decided. But in the palace banquet, the eldest sister lost the fight and her eyes immediately turned red. Prince Ky threw the last arrow for her. Her eyes looked at him, everyone present saw it. The next day, the Ky family came to fix the marriage contract. My mother advised me: "It's very difficult for your sister to like someone." I nodded: "Then let's change." Everyone thought I was discouraged and arbitrarily chose the quiet second-in-command next to Prince Ky. But they don't know. In the previous life, after the Ky family fell, only this second-in-command younger brother joined the army, fighting with each sword to gain merit and support the new army. On the day the new emperor ascended the throne, he was ordained as a heterosexual king. As for Ky The Tu. The elder sister already wants to win, so let her win this time.01When I agreed to change the marriage, mother was the first to breathe a sigh of relief. Ky Duc also breathed a sigh of relief. Only elder sister Ngu Nhu still looked at me with red eyes. "Ah Giao, don't be like that. I never wanted to steal your marriage." These words were said very softly, but just enough to make Ky Duc raise his head. Seeing the pain in his eyes, I suddenly felt that giving up this marriage would not be a loss. My father's face darkened and he asked me: "Are you really willing?" I took off my personal token and condemned it: "I am willing." Mother quickly took my hand, her voice softened a bit: "I know right away that you are the one who understands the most." Before she let go of her hand, I looked towards the end of the Ky family's seat. "If the elder sister wants to marry Ky the second son, then I will marry the second young master Ky." The atmosphere in the main hall was just right. just calmed down, then suddenly became tense again. Mother's hand was stiff on my wrist. Ky Duc suddenly raised his head. Even Ky Hoan, who had always lowered his eyes and said nothing, finally looked towards me. Mrs. Ky's face changed: "Second Miss, these words cannot be said casually." I bowed to her: "Madam, don't worry, I have thought very clearly." Father slammed on the table: "Ngu Giao, don't make trouble in front of guests!" I did not kneel down, nor did I step back. In the past, whenever he got angry like that, I always looked at my mother first. As long as my mother sighs, I know I should bow my head. Today, I only look at my father. "Ky family can change the marriage certificate once, Ngu family can also change people once." Ky Duc's face turned pale. Ngu Nhu tightened her handkerchief, tears hanging on her eyelashes, as if they would fall soon. But this time, no one can cover up everything for her. Ky Hoan stood up and bowed to his father. "If Miss Ngu's words were just temporary anger, this could be considered as never happened." I looked towards him. He wore a gray-green long robe, stood half a step behind Ky Duc, his expression was calm as if someone had called him by the wrong name. The whole hall thought that I was humiliating the Ky family. Only he asked first whether I was truly willing or not. I replied to him: "It's not something you say when you're angry." Ky Hoan looked at me for a long time. "Do you know, second lady, that marrying me won't necessarily bring good days?" I nodded: "I know." Mother immediately panicked: "What do you know? Ky Hoan is just you."

Second, from now on, I won't even have an official seat in the Marquis Palace." Mrs. Ky's face became even more unsightly. Ky Duc said in a low voice: "Ah Giao, if you feel uncomfortable in your heart, you can vent your anger on me." Finally, I looked towards him. "Your Highness has thought too much." He was stunned. My voice was extremely calm: "You're not that important." The blood on Ky Duc's face immediately drained away. Ngu Nhu softly called him out. voice, sure enough, he tilted his head to look at her. I retracted my gaze. Ky Hoan lowered her eyes, seemingly finally making up her mind. "If the second lady doesn't regret it, I'm satisfied." 02 Mother pulled me into the interior. As soon as the door closed, she couldn't hold back her anger. "You want to force your sister to die today, right?" Ngu Nhu also followed in, her eyes red. "Mother, don't blame me. soot. It's natural for her to feel uncomfortable in her heart." Mother immediately supported her: "You are too kind, you think about everything for her." I stood opposite the two of them, not even sitting down. In the past, such scenes happened too often. As long as Ngu Nhu cried, mother would protect her first. As for why I was upset, it had never been important before. "Ah Giao, listen to mother. With a background like Ky Hoan's, in the future he won't be able to give you face." I looked at her: "When mother told me to give Ky Duc to my eldest sister, did you ever think about my face?" Mother was stunned. Ngu Nhu bowed her head, tears falling on the back of her hand. "If my younger sister resents me that much, I will make it clear to Prince Ky." Her voice was not loud, but just enough for the person standing outside the door to hear. Sure enough, Ky Duc Stopping in the hallway, quickly said: "Eldest Miss, this matter has nothing to do with you." I suddenly felt a bit tired. She wanted to get something, but she wanted everyone to think that someone else had to give it to her. I pushed the door and walked out. When Ky Duc stood down in the hallway, seeing me go out, I immediately bowed to him: "Ky Tu Tu, I won't regret it." He frowned You: "Ah Giao, I don't mean that." I looked at him: "What do you mean?" He couldn't answer. Now, when I just stared at him, Ky Duc's expression became ugly. Ngu Nhu coughed softly in the room. Sure enough, he immediately tilted his head and went straight out. It was drizzling in the yard. Ky Hoan was standing next to me, and there was no one holding an umbrella walking forward, he took a half step back, giving me room to avoid the rain. I stopped next to him: "Did you hear it?" "Heard part of it." He didn't pretend to be confused. I asked him: "Do you regret it?" Ky Hoan looked at the rain in the hallway: "If you regret it later, you can tell me first. Until then, I will not use today's words to force you." Those words were very light. But like a clean towel, gently covering my awkwardness that had just been ripped off. I lowered my eyes: "I don't regret it." Ky Hoan turned his face and looked at me for a moment. "Then I also don't regret it." In the distance, Ky Duc was still standing by the door. He looked at me and Ky Hoan standing side by side under the porch, his eyes somewhat bewildered. Ngu Nhu also looked over. I didn't turn my head. 03 The two new marriage documents were quickly brought to the Ngu family. One was written with the names of Ky Duc and Ngu Nhu. The second copy was written with the father's name, his eyebrows never relaxed. The mother didn't even want to look at it, she just told the mama to put it in the box, her tone was cold: "The wedding doesn't need to be too big." head: "Everything is obeyed by mother." She stopped, seemingly unfamiliar

with our compliance like that. Before, I would ask in a low voice, whether it was possible to prepare according to the lady's rules or not. Mother will sigh and say that your sister is still sick and the house cannot be too noisy. I will immediately bow my head. This time, I don't ask anything. Mother waited for a while, and finally could only close the list of gifts. "Ah Giao, it's not that mother doesn't love you." I looked at the gilded incense burner next to the table. Inside burn Ngu Nhu's favorite incense. My dowry list was placed next to the incense burner, the corners of the paper were slightly browned. I said softly: "Mother, go visit your eldest sister." Her face stiffened. We bowed and then retreated. As soon as she reached the hallway, A Uy ran over with red eyes. "Miss, how can you treat me like that?" I adjusted my sleeve: "Stop talking." She stomped her foot in impatience: "Why are you still patient?" I stopped: "It's not patience." A Uy was stunned. I look towards the west courtyard. This time, I just don't want to waste my energy on them. Before the day they got married, Ky Hoan came to give the bride price once. Several chests of fabrics, two pairs of silver bracelets, a screen, and a long and narrow wooden box. Lady Ky did not come. Ky Duc also did not come. Ky Hoan personally handed over the list of gifts to the manager, his expression calm as if he did not notice the scrutiny of the entire courtyard. At first, his mother didn't want to see him. But after hearing the news of Ky Hoan's arrival, Ngu Nhu suddenly said she wanted to go out to the hallway to get some fresh air. Her mother immediately helped her go. Ngu Nhu wore a white robe, his eyes fell on that wooden box. "What did the second young master give you?" Ky Hoan looked at me: "A set of military books." Mother frowned: "If your daughter is married, why give these things?" Ky Hoan bowed his head and bowed: "If the second young lady doesn't like it, just take it away." He did not explain. Also don't say pleasing words in front of everyone. But we know the background of that book. In his previous life, Ky Hoan, thanks to reciting military books, was promoted by the general in the barracks. That was the first step that truly changed his destiny. Now, he brings it before me. Not to please. It's about putting a part of your own retreat in front of you. I reached out to receive the wooden box: "I like it." Ngu Nhu's expression changed slightly. Maybe she didn't expect that I would publicly say that I liked the things Ky Hoan gave her. There was also a moment of pause in Ky Hoan's eyes. After that, he bowed to me: "It's good that you like it." That day, Ky Duc arrived very late. When he arrived at the Ngu family, Ky Hoan was preparing to leave. The two brothers met in front of the screen wall outside the gate. Ky Duc saw the empty wooden box in his hand, his expression was somewhat complicated. "Ah Hoan, you are also very kind." Ky Hoan calmly replied: "That is the right thing to do." As soon as the three words finished, Ky Duc's face immediately became ugly. I stood in the hallway and suddenly remembered what happened before. Ky Duc was also very kind. It's just that his kindness can be for me, but it can also be for Ngu Nhu. Ky Hoan is not like him. The things he gave were very few. But each thing is sincere and practical.04Ngu Nhu and I got married on the same day. In front of the Ngu family gate, on one side joyful music resounded in the sky, on the other side it was cold and deserted. Ky Duc was the royal prince's palace, and the ceremony to welcome Ngu Nhu extended half the street. Ky Hoan is the second son, and came to pick me up with only a small palanquin and a horse led by himself. When her mother helped Ngu Nhu onto the palanquin, she cried and wet her handkerchief. When it was my turn, she just patted my hand. "Your character is stable, once you come to the Ky family, you will live a good life." After saying that, it seemed like she herself realized that these words were too familiar, her eyes suddenly wavered.
