Chapter 3 — Crown Prince Dang Co gave my kiss to the Great General. I gratefully agreed

His voice was filled with humiliation and alms. It's like saying, look, I threw you into the mud, but you still owe the team gratitude. I raised my head and faced him directly. No tears. No questioning. Not even any hatred. My eyes are so calm that they look like a dead water surface.

“What your Majesty said is correct.”

“But your Majesty has forgotten, General Qin has guarded Northern Cuong for ten years, making our Dai Chu border peaceful and worry-free.

"The people of Great Zhou can live in peace, and the merits of General Qin cannot be erased."

My voice is not loud, but the royal study room is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop, and it is especially clear.

“As for getting married, it's even more baseless talk. Heaven's fate is impermanent, life and death are destined, how can we blame the general?"

"My goddess is just a weak girl. To be able to marry such a great hero is truly my honor."

"In the future, this goddess will definitely dedicate herself to serving the general and taking care of the house for him, so that he will no longer have to worry about the future and can contribute even more devotedly to His Majesty and to Great Zhou."

This part of mine can be said to be discreet without any loopholes, both sincere and reasonable. Not only did he praise Tan Kieu, he also pointed out the "positive meaning" of this marriage, conveniently expressing his "loyalty" to him. Tieu Thua Trach's face turned completely black. My compliance and "reasonableness" was like a resounding, aggressive slap straight to his face. All the scenes he had imagined - me crying and begging him, asking him what fifteen years of friendship meant, blaming him for being ungrateful... None of it happened. We are like a child who has just received a pleasant gift, happily accepting everything. This completely turned the humiliating scene he had worked so hard to prepare into a joke. It also caused all the words he had prepared to reassure me and the Tham family to be stuck in his throat, unable to say a single word. He stared at me fiercely, as if trying to find a trace of pretense on my face, a trace of unwillingness. But he failed. There was no wave in my heart, I even wanted to laugh a little.

“Good… good for an honor.”

Tieu Thua Trach was so angry that he burst out laughing. He turned around and walked back to the steps, sitting down on the sofa again. The way he looked at me had changed. It's no longer a look at a resentful woman being thrown away, but a look at a chess piece... that refuses to listen.

“If you understand this, I will be very relieved.”

His voice turned cold.

“The wedding is scheduled for the eighth day of next month. Time is tight, dowry or something... just keep it simple."

This is a new humiliation. He wanted me, this "previous crown prince" to struggle secretly, lose all my dignity and get married.

“Goddess obeys.”

I bowed my head again, without a trace of objection. My calmness completely angered him.

“Shen Yuehua!”

He almost roared my name.

“Do you really have to do that?”

I raised my head, looking at him a little confused.

“Your Majesty, what should you do if you want a goddess?”

I stood up and looked directly at the man on the dragon depend on.

"If Your Majesty wants me to marry you, I will marry you. If Your Majesty wants me to thank you, I will thank you."

"Does your Majesty hope that this goddess will cry loudly, commit suicide, and make so much noise that the whole capital will explode, so that everyone will know that Your Majesty is an ungrateful and ungrateful person?"

One sentence from me immediately made him choke, his face turned pale. I smiled slightly, bowed and bowed.

"If there is nothing else, I would like to ask permission to leave first. I still have to go back and prepare a dowry. After all... being able to marry General Qin, I'm already climbing high."

Having finished speaking, I didn't look at him again, turned around and left. Every step is leisurely and calm. Behind him was the sound of heavy breathing trying to suppress Tieu Thua Trach's anger. Just as I was about to step out of the royal study door, his cold and deep voice suddenly rang out from behind.
