Chapter 6 — Bride of the World

"They wanted me dead so much. Father was afraid that even the dark guards wouldn't be able to protect me, so he wanted me to quickly get married and go to the land."
"That said, after we return from the land, you will be the crown prince, and I will be the crown prince."
"Correct."
So good! I originally thought my life would be difficult to preserve, but I didn't expect that in the future I would be the mother of the world. It seems that the heavens have heard my prayers and have finally bestowed good luck upon us. Later, when I become the crown prince, everyone in the Hua family must live by looking at my face. Just thinking about that scene makes me happy! I grinned and laughed out loud. Hoc Ky seemed to see through my thoughts and interrupted.
“Don't be in a hurry to have sweet dreams, go to sleep quickly.”
Just now I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes, but after hearing what Hoc Ky said, I was completely awake.
“I'm not sleepy anymore.”
“If you don't feel sleepy, you have to sleep.”
Hoc Ky leaned down and took off my shirt. Only then will we react. The word "sleep" in what he said was not normal sleep at all. An endlessly colorful spring night.

The next day, Hoc Ky took me to the palace to offer tea to His Majesty and his stepchildren, then immediately took me to the temple. In His Majesty's words, every sentence implicitly urged Hoc Ky to go away quickly. Hoc Ky's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, not giving His Majesty a gentle look. And I play the role of a weak new wife, full of resentment. Sometimes I even hold my arm, revealing a painful expression. But this isn't fake, it's really painful. Last night, Hoc Ky's attack didn't know how heavy or light it was, causing some parts of his body to turn blue and purple. The ladies in the palace all looked at me with pitying eyes. He believes that marrying Hoac Ky is eight generations of bad luck. As for the three-day dowry, we won't be able to return in time. The Hua family also doesn't want to entertain us. If we don't come, they can breathe a sigh of relief. After arriving in the land, Hoc Ky and I lived days as sweet as honey. Although Linh Nam is humid, hot and has many miasma, it is currently autumn and winter. The weather in Linh Nam right now is beautiful, neither hot nor cold, extremely pleasant. In Linh Nam, there are only two masters, me and Hoac Ky. There is no need to deal with interactions in the capital, and there are no cumbersome regulations there. Life is extremely free and fun. Half a year later, when news came from the capital, I didn't even want to return. But things that need to be faced still have to be faced. Me and Hoc Ky set out to return to the capital. Your Majesty has investigated and discovered that the death of the former empress was caused by the joint efforts of the empress and the noble concubine. Their mother's house, the Dinh Quoc Cong palace and the General's palace, are both accomplices. The purpose is to support the stepmother's three sons and the Noble Concubine. After the incident was revealed, the heiress and the Noble Concubine were banned from death. Dinh Quoc Cong's Palace and the General's Palace had their property confiscated, and all people in the palace were exiled. Of the three princes, one was forced to guard the royal mausoleum, one was imprisoned in Tong Nhan palace, and the other was killed during a palace upheaval. All of Hoc Ky's opponents are no longer there. After returning to the capital, he was smoothly appointed crown prince. The holy decree to crown the prince had just been issued, and the holy decree to cede the throne was immediately brought. Your Majesty has avenged you The former empress did not want to continue being emperor. People want to go out on excursions, travel around the beautiful rivers and mountains. So Hoc Ky became emperor, I became queen. Within one day, I went from being a princess to being a crown prince, then becoming a queen again, my mind completely confused. Hoc Ky was extremely calm. He knew this day would come. Before the coronation ceremony, my mother came to the palace to find me. I know what you came to see me for. After Hoac Ky and I arrived at Linh Nam, the eldest sister married into Dinh Quoc Cong's palace, becoming the second daughter-in-law of the three rooms. This time, Dinh Quoc Cong's palace had his entire family beheaded, the eldest sister was also among them. Mother wants to beg me to save elder sister. I don't see her. I just sent someone to take her to wait in the heavenly palace, then lock the heavenly palace door. There is no water or food in the heavenly temple, just like in the ancient palace. At first, my mother was screaming loudly, wanting to call someone over. But no one paid attention to her. The palace staff seemed not to hear and completely ignored her. Three days later, the coronation ceremony ended. I became a queen admired by thousands of people. The doors of the heavenly palace were also opened, and I came to see my mother. As soon as she saw me, my mother immediately showed resentment.
"I am your biological mother! You locked me in the heavenly palace and did not give me food or water. Are you not afraid that people in the world will criticize you for being unfilial?"
I didn't speak, but the mother next to me immediately shouted loudly:
"Seeing that the queen does not pay respects, she still dares to disrespect the queen. Madam Uy Vien, even though you are the mother of the queen, but standing in front of the queen, how can you let her do whatever you want!"
Only then did my mother react. I had become the queen, no longer the concubine Hua Niem Thu for her to treat as she wanted.
