Chapter 21 — Brother Poinsettia Forced Me to Replace Him as Official

He wore dark red official robes, had a straight figure, and his handsome face still had its usual gentle expression. But I don't know why, as soon as I saw him walk out, I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart. He clasped his hands and bowed, his voice so calm that it gave people goosebumps.

"I have a favor to ask."

Tieu Duc raised his eyebrows. Bui Dien Chi looked towards me. His eyes were very straight. Don't avoid it. Not crooked. There is no longer the half-truth, half-false teasing like before.

"Three years ago, I went to Tham residence to ask for marriage."

"At that time, Miss Tham was still young, Mr. Tham loved his daughter and could not bear to let her decide to get married early, so he tactfully refused."

"For the past three years, I have never gotten married, nor have I ever proposed to anyone else."

The eyes in the palace immediately became magical. I feel my scalp numb. He's crazy. He's really crazy. As expected of a mad dog from Dai Ly Temple. Which normal person would ask for marriage in front of the whole civil and martial court? Bui Dien Chi looked at me, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"Three years ago, I asked the Tham family."

"Three years later."

"I want to ask you yourself."

He took a half step forward. Under the horrified eyes of the whole court, he turned towards me and slowly bowed and bowed.

"Exam Tri Y."

"Are you willing to marry me?"

The entire Kim Loan Palace immediately exploded. A minister took in a cold breath. Some people rolled their eyes. Someone almost dropped their copy for the second time that day. Even Tieu Duc on the dragon chair rarely showed a hint of unexpected expression. I knelt in place, my mind blank. From morning until now, we have been through so many things. His identity was exposed by Trieu Binh. Questioned by the whole court. His Majesty asked if he dared to become an official. Just accepted an official position and haven't yet fully understood it. Now Bui Dien Chi is asking for his body in front of the whole palace. Isn't today's human life a bit too exciting? I look at him. He also looked at me. In those peachy eyes there was no oppression, no coercion. There is only waiting. Just like three years ago, he waited after a refusal. Three years later, he can still stand here, waiting for me to tell him the answer. For some reason, the words I wanted to scold him suddenly choked. I was silent for a long time. Finally, under the gaze of the whole civil and martial court, I slowly opened my mouth.

"This..."

Bui Dien Chi slightly raised his eyebrows. I looked at him, trying to keep a serious look.

"I have to think."

The whole palace: "..." Bui Dien Chi was stunned for a moment. Then burst out laughing. Not a calculated laugh. It's not the kind of smile that sends chills down people's spines. It's a real smile. I breathed a sigh of relief. But before that breath could be released, I heard my brother Tham Tri Hanh next to me gritting his teeth, using a voice that only I could hear:

"What are you thinking about?"

"People have been waiting for you for three years."

I glanced at him.

"Shut up, brother."

He was so angry that he almost jumped up.

"I've been pushed into court by you for several months, and I haven't settled the matter with you yet. Now when it comes to marriage, do you also want to decide for me?"

Tham Tri Hanh immediately shut his mouth. A moment later, he said in a low voice:

"Then think quickly."

I looked at him coldly. He seriously replied:

"Because if you marry me, I can go to Bui's mansion to eat with dignity."

We really shouldn't expect anything from him can say kind words. On the dragon bed, Tieu Duc looked at the scene below and finally smiled softly.

"Official affairs, I have already decided."

"The matter of marriage, let Tham Tri Y decide for himself."

The person stopped, his eyes fell on Bui Dien Chi.

"Bui Khanh."

"If I had waited three years."

"Wait a few more days, it shouldn't be difficult."

Bui Dien Chi clasped his hands.

"God obeys."

I watched him bow his head, the corner of his lips still smiling. My heart suddenly moved. Three years of waiting. One time, I prayed in front of the Tham family. Once pray before yourself. He didn't ask his brother. Don't ask Your Majesty. Don't ask anyone else. He really just asked me. 【Chapter nineteen】 After the day Bui Dien Chi prayed for marriage in front of Kim Loan Palace, the entire capital was boiling. Some people say that Master Bui is truly a mad dog of Dai Ly Temple. He even dared to ask for marriage right in front of His Majesty and the entire civil and martial court. Some people say Tham Tri Y is truly the strangest woman in the capital. She had just been exposed for pretending to be a man in court. She turned around and was given special admission to the Cabinet as an apprentice by His Majesty, and then made Bui Dien Chi publicly wait for an answer. As for me, the main character in the rumor, sitting in the courtyard of the Tham residence eating flower waffles, everything felt like a wild dream. I thought for three days. Exactly three days. The first day, Tham Tri Hanh walked back and forth in front of me seventeen times, saying with his mouth that he would not interfere with his sister's marriage, but every time he passed by, he deliberately sighed loudly.
