Chapter 7 — Bride of the World

She quickly knelt down and bowed to me.

"When I was a child, my mother often locked me in the hall and didn't let me eat or drink for three days. She once said it was okay to starve for a few days. Why did this matter turn into filial piety when it came to her mouth?"
The mother raised her head and instinctively objected:
"How can they be the same? You are my daughter, I punish you only because I want to be good for you."
"What's different? They were all starved for three days and three nights. I can endure hunger, my mother can endure hunger too."
I coldly snorted.
"Mother relies on her position as an elder so she can punish me at will. Right now I am a king, mother is a god. Thunder and rain are both blessings of the king. I reward mother as a reward, punishing mother is also a reward. How can mother object!"
"After all, I am your mother. In the past, if we hadn't let you marry the saint, would you have become queen today?"
I showed a sarcastic look.
"Mother was joking. Even without you guys, I would still become queen. Your Majesty has loved me deeply since childhood. The fact that I could marry you was all secretly arranged by you, and has no relationship with mother or Hua Palace!"
Mother still wanted to speak, but I interrupted her.
"This palace is tired. If mother wants to stay, then continue to wait at the heavenly palace."
The Heavenly Palace had no food or water, so the mother was immediately scared. She ran away in panic. After that, the eldest sister was beheaded, and the mother returned to the palace to beg me. I didn't see her even once, so I still did it the old way, locking her up for another three days. I won't save you, elder sister. That is her destiny. When I was young, she relied on her father's favor to treat me harshly, and I couldn't return evil with virtue. After the eldest sister died, the mother became seriously ill and did not enter the palace for a long time. My father is a male, and it is not convenient for him to enter or leave the harem, so he wrote me a letter. In every sentence, every word implicitly wants me to support the Hua family. I refused, and even found an error to dismiss him from his position. I sent someone back to spread the word, saying that I was dissatisfied with Hua Palace and that retaining my title was the last honor I gave them. If they continue to anger me, I will tell His Majesty to strip father of his title of Marquess of Uy Vien. The Hua family saw my lovelessness and began to live with my tail between my legs. Second Room knows that in the past, she relied on her grandmother's love and was cold towards me. The second uncle proactively asked to be transferred to a poor area to become an official. He did not bring his grandmother with him. The grandmother loved her youngest son and wanted to go with him, but the second uncle refused. The second uncle said that taking care of his parents was the eldest son's responsibility and had nothing to do with him. After speaking, he turned around and left. The mother-in-law was not able to meet the youngest son she loved the most, and she cried every day to wash her face. As for my younger sister Hua Niem Tran, my father knew from before that the relationship between her and me was not good. To please me, he married Hua Niem Tran to a playboy who had already had one wife. My mother tried to stop me and cause chaos, but it was all useless. That playboy boy has countless concubines and maids. His first wife died because he was so debauched. Hua Niem Tran has a stubborn personality and cannot stand the sight of him lingering in the castle. Every day she argues quarreled and fought with him in the house. In the end, he was beaten by that young man until his whole body was covered with injuries. Mother felt sad for her sister and wanted the two of them to reconcile. She aimed her attention at me again. She continued to enter the palace to ask for my favor. I still didn't see her, just let her starve for three days in the heavenly palace and then let her go. Hua Niem Tran was beaten once, and her mother entered the palace again. Every time I come, I'm starved. No matter what, you can't meet me. Gradually she stopped coming. Even though Hua Niem Tran returned to her mother's house, crying and begging, she still did not come. She told Hua Niem Tran to try to be patient. After all, compared to having to go hungry, Hua Niem Tran being beaten is nothing. She really couldn't stand the days of hunger and thirst. I don't know if she regrets treating me like that before or not. I don't want to know either. Even if I don't see her, she won't see me either. Whether you regret it or not is none of my business. When Hua Niem Tran saw that her mother refused to help her, she had a big argument with her and then returned to her husband's house. Everyone inside and outside the court knows that I don't like the Hua family, and they also know that I will not get involved in the Hua family's troubles. Therefore, Hua Niem Tran's husband beat her even more cruelly. From then on, she lived through hot and hot days. As for my father, he wanted to please me so he could be reinstated. But I don't pay attention to him. He was idle at home, upset because he was not appreciated, so he began to scrutinize his mother. The two people at home constantly criticized each other, and sometimes even got involved. Compared to their scenes of chickens flying and dogs running. Our life can be called a peaceful year. Because of me, Hoac Ky left the six palaces empty, leaving me alone. I gave birth to him two boys and a girl.
