Chapter 5 — Crown Prince Dang Co gave my kiss to the Great General. I gratefully agreed

“This new emperor is intentionally making the Tham family lose face.”

At that moment, a high-pitched voice rang out at the wrong time. As a maids of the Hoang family, she is most famous for her talent in flattery. Perhaps he received instructions from Tieu Thua Trach, specifically coming here to "preside over justice".

"The auspicious hour has come, why hasn't Miss Tham boarded the palanquin yet?"

Hoang Thi Lang spoke with a strange yin and yang voice.

"Or... I can't bear to leave this prosperous capital, so I regret it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of suppressed laughter immediately rang out around him. His father's fist was clenched so tightly that it made a cracking sound, almost ready to attack someone. I raised my hand to stop him. Through the gap under the scarf, I looked at that dancing clown without saying a word. Just as Hoang Thi Lang wanted to say something more, a series of heavy yet neat horse hooves suddenly rang out from far and near. The ground also seemed to be shaking. Everyone instinctively turned their heads to look back. I saw at the end of the long street a group of cavalry wearing black armor galloping towards this direction. Everyone had strong bodies, cold and hard faces, and their whole bodies radiated a serious murderous aura. The person leading the way was the butler of the general's palace —— Tan An. Behind him were more than a hundred horsemen following. They did not bring any congratulatory offerings, but carried dozens of large chests painted red and gold. Those chests look more elegant than any dowry chests that our Tham family has prepared. What about the bride price? This is to back me up. Tan An turned around, got off his horse, and walked directly in front of Hoang Thi Lang. He was almost a head taller than Hoang Thi Lang, just one look was enough to make the other person afraid to take two steps back.

“Are you the Rites Minister?”

Tan An's voice was calm and powerful.

“Yes… yes… officer…”

Hoang Thi Lang stammered in response. Tan An no longer looked at him, but took out a scroll from his chest. Not a holy decree. The color of that reel is even darker than the color of Minh Hoang, which is the color of almonds. Embroidered above is not the five clawed golden dragon, but the dragon. The people here who had some knowledge and had encountered conflicts at court all simultaneously took a breath of cold air and their faces immediately changed. The emperor's decree! Tan An slowly opened the almond-colored scroll, his deep voice echoed throughout the long street.

"Tran Bac General Tan Kieu has been loyal to the nation's defenders and has made outstanding contributions to the society. He has defended the North Cuong for many years and protected Dai Chu's country from harm to safety. If they get married in the future, the wedding ceremony will be of the highest standard, all expenses will be paid by the national treasury. Officials along the way must welcome with national ceremony, without any delay or error. Anyone who dares to obstruct, disrespect or be disrespectful, will immediately be impeached as a traitor!"

The voice was as resounding as a bronze bell, each word clearly transmitted throughout the entire school. In an instant, the whole school fell into silence. Even the sound of breathing seemed to disappear. Everyone was completely stunned. No one expected that in Tan Kieu's hands, he actually kept a legacy of the emperor! That edict was like a resounding slap, fiercely landing directly on Tieu Thua Trach's face right in the middle of the bar daylight. Don't you want to simplify the wedding? The Emperor personally decreed that the wedding ceremony must use the highest standards. Don't you want to take this opportunity to humiliate the Tham family? The First Emperor made it clear that anyone who dared to delay or be rude would be immediately charged with the crime of lese majeste. In just a blink of an eye, all of Tieu Thua Trach's plans to oppress and embarrass others were crushed to the point where he had no face left. Hoang Thi Lang's face immediately turned pale, her legs went weak, and she sat down directly on the ground. Father was so excited that his whole body was shaking. I stood in place, my heart also churning with great waves. Indeed you did not disappoint me. Tan An retracted his mat, glanced at Hoang Thi Lang who was curled up on the ground, and then coldly snorted. Then, he walked up to me, bowed down and bowed.

"Madam, the general ordered his subordinates to come here to escort you. The road to Bac Cuong is not easy."

“Troublesome.”
