Chapter 8 — Changing the Bride and Marrying the Palace

Maybe he remembered the past when he saw me, but he and I no longer have a future. 25 Manh Han got very drunk. He is tall, I can only ask the palace staff to help him put him on the carriage. The road out of the palace was very long, so long that on the palace grounds one could clearly hear all the gossip. "Have you heard? Lady Ly and Lady Ta spoke ill of the Crown Prince's younger sister, which was heard by the Crown Prince." "The Crown Prince got angry, said they were bringing up old stories to gossip, intending to harm the Crown Prince, and ordered the palace men to pull him down and slap her on the lips." "That's right, thirty times. I heard it as soon as I heard it." Let go, their faces were beaten to the point of disfigurement." "How could this be? Normally Lady Ly and Lady Ta are closest to the Crown Prince..." "You don't know. The Crown Prince's sister is now married to Manh Han, the prince's cousin, who has accomplished countless victories. Perhaps the Crown Prince just used this to protect Manh Han." "But the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have always had a very good relationship. The Crown Prince is a tolerant person, how can he not respect the Crown Prince's face and punish others like that? "The matter of husband and wife living together is like drinking water, hot and cold, only those involved know." "Speaking of which, I still have to admire Khuong Nhuoc Ngu. After running away with a man, she can still marry such a good husband..." "Shh! Do you want to be dragged away and slapped on the mouth?"... I bowed my head, step by step stepping on the moonlight. No wonder the older sister's face didn't look good just now. "Lady Manh, we've arrived." I immediately raised my head when I heard the sound and saw Tieu Doanh standing in front of me. I took a gold leaf and gave it to the palace man. "I'm sorry." After Manh Han was helped onto the carriage, I also prepared to get on. But a voice rang in his ear: "Don't you want to say a word to me?" The moonlight reflected in his eyes. Before, I had countless times searched for my image in it. But Tieu Doanh told me time and time again that he only saw his eldest sister. I smiled politely at him. "Thank you, Crown Prince, for your help." After saying that, I turned around and got into the carriage, without looking back. 26 The wind blew the curtains up, moonlight poured inside. The person in front of him slowly opened his eyes. The mist around his eyes made him look extremely innocent. "I knew right away you weren't drunk." I raised my hand to rub his ear. "You still dare to eavesdrop." Manh Han held my hand, his hand still gentle as before. "I thought you were planning to..." "I never thought about turning back. Today I only entered the palace because I didn't want Your Majesty to think too much, and I didn't want to make you feel awkward." I interrupted. I never thought Manh Han would think like that. No wonder he constantly drinks alcohol. He wanted to pretend to be drunk, so that I could feel secure in finding Tieu Doanh. He thought that I entered the palace because I wanted to reconnect with my old love with Tieu Doanh. But a broken mirror is broken. No matter how I put it back together, there are still cracks. "And you." "I didn't expect you to be so generous. The lady was about to run away and you didn't even notice..." Hearing my voice change, Manh Han quickly sat up straight. "Who says I don't care?" "I do care!" "But I pay more attention to you. Nhuoc Ngu, I care whether you're happy or not." I glared at him and said angrily: "In that case, in the future I will meet a man I like. If you steal all your assets and leave with him, will you be like today, pretending to be drunk and pretending not to see?" Manh Han's eyes were wet. "Nhuoc Ngu, don't make me angry like that." I leaned closer, with a serious face and gently touched the middle of his forehead. "Then in the future, you can't make me angry like today." "Sorry." Manh Han's voice was very light, vaguely filled with resentment. "It won't be like that from now on." never will

Let her leave me again." The hand that was holding my hand suddenly separated, then five fingers clasped tightly in my hand. 27 A few days later, the elder sister sent someone to deliver an invitation to the birthday party. After Tieu Man slept, I changed my clothes and went out. With the status and status of the Eastern palace, there were many guests attending. Because of what happened at the palace banquet a few days ago, no one dared to talk about me. The strange thing is that after entering the door, I did not see anyone. The maid led me to the back yard, saying that the elder sister wanted to see me. But what people saw after entering was Tieu Doanh. On the contrary, Tieu Doanh was a little surprised. "Compared to before, you are much calmer." He sat in front of the table, holding a piece of paper in front of me. It was a letter of separation between me and Manh Han. for you?” “Your Highness really has a lot of confidence in himself. But today I came to see the eldest sister." I withdrew my gaze. Tieu Doanh frowned. "Do you think that after entering the Eastern Palace, you can still leave?" "Even though His Highness is the Crown Prince, it is not appropriate to blatantly steal someone else's wife like that." I smiled and replied.
