I replied: "Yes." "When I entered the palace, my father asked me if I wanted to be Queen or Concubine. I didn't want to be Queen, so I chose Concubine." Her face immediately turned pale. I asked: "What's wrong, sister?" The Queen looked at me dumbfounded for a long time. Then she gave me a smile that I couldn't understand, then turned around and left. I intend to follow. She coldly left behind five words: "Don't follow this palace." I looked at her back, feeling confused and not understanding why. She smiled, which was very beautiful. But that smile just now...wasn't beautiful at all. At night, as usual, I went to her palace to sleep. The palace door is tightly closed. Only a little eunuch peeked out from inside and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Empress's body is not feeling well, she is resting. Please come in a few days." I asked worriedly: "Have you appointed a royal doctor yet? Is it serious? Let me go in to visit you." "Don't ask anymore, lest you wake the Queen." The palace door was closed again. I sadly sat down on the steps. Every time my father made a mistake, my mother kicked me out of the room. People will sit outside the door and wait forever. Wait until mother's heart softens before letting people back in. As expected, she is worthy of being her father's daughter. I also sat in front of the door and waited. While I was nodding sleepily, the Emperor's palace just passed by. He smacked his lips: "Deserve it." This person is really sick. Not sleeping in the middle of the night, he ran up to me and said harsh words. I'm angry inside, I don't care. Yet he was even more enthusiastic. "Tell me, are you really stupid?" "You are my noble concubine, you don't know how to please me, you trot after the Queen every day." "Before entering the palace, didn't your father teach you that the most important thing is to make me happy?" He is the idiot. His whole family are idiots! But he really reminded me. "My father once said, if you have any problem, just look for your Majesty." "Now I want to see the Queen, please help me open the door." The Emperor laughed. It seemed like he was laughing out of anger. He gritted his teeth and said: "Ve Tieu Dao, can't you see that the Queen hates you?" "She didn't want to see you, so why are you still here?" I immediately stood up and glared at him. "The Queen doesn't hate me! She treats me very well." The Emperor smiled faintly. "If he doesn't hate you, does he still like you?" "Who would like a rival who comes to steal their man?" "I'm really surprised. In the end, was your father so busy training the army that he forgot to teach this stupid daughter, or did he deliberately bring a stupid girl into the palace to annoy me?" "Don't tell my father!" I was so angry that I rushed up and tried to kick him. But his hand was grabbed by a soft, warm hand. The Queen stood in front of me, calmly looking at the throne. "Your Majesty, please be careful with your words." "The Great General, for the sake of the country and the people, brought the daughter he loves most into the palace. If these words were spread out, wouldn't it make others cold?" The Emperor narrowed his eyes. "You are threatening me?" "I don't dare." "I am a mother who respects the world, so naturally I have to put the country first. This is important. I only wish for a peaceful harem, peace in the previous dynasty, single-minded soldiers, and people living in peace." The Emperor snorted coldly. "If you have such a great cause in your heart, tomorrow is the first day, don't forget the royal family." "For the sake of the royal family, opening branches and leaves is also the Queen's duty." I looked at the Queen with eyes full of admiration. That guy is so awesome. Just a few sentences made the Emperor leave. Not like me. Every time I get angry I just want to raise my fist and kick people. Different words than mine

hear and understand vaguely. But the two words "thi tam" we hear clearly. I pulled the Queen's hand. "You promised me, you won't be a slave." The Queen softly shushed and took me back to her palace. She closed her eyes and lay on the bed, her voice full of fatigue: "This palace is tired, go to sleep." I didn't want to sleep, so I pulled her sleeve. She sighed softly, opened her eyes again. "Your Highness, the Emperor is right. You should please people, not follow this palace every day." "Your Majesty is the monarch of a country. When people are happy, your life will be better, your father and tens of thousands of generals will also be better." I asked: "What about you?" The Queen smiled. "If the Emperor is happy, this palace will also be happy." So that's it. I smiled and said: "Then I hope you will always be happy!" Early the next morning, I brought a box of cakes made by the kitchen chef and went to find the Emperor. I see other concubines doing the same. The only difference is... The Emperor rarely meets them, but he agrees to meet me. "What's the matter?" I tried to suppress the urge to throw the whole plate of cake in his face. Then carefully place it on the table. Afraid of dirtying the table top, I conveniently took a stack of paper next to it and lined it up. The great eunuch cried out: "Oh, noble lady, that's the chapter, you..." The Emperor gently raised his hand, stopping him from continuing. His eyes glanced over the plate of cake, faintly asking: "What do you mean?" My eyes sparkled as I looked at him. "It's a gift for you. Are you happy?" The Emperor sneered. "Could it be that because I scolded you last night, today you put poison in the cake, trying to harm me?" This person is really sick. So in front of him, I took a piece of cake and stuffed it straight into my mouth. "It's not poisonous." The Emperor was stunned. Immediately he burst out laughing. "I admit that an idiot like you is also cute." I'm not stupid! I came here for a purpose! Hold on! I tried to hold back! "If you're happy... can you come to my palace tonight? I want to take care of you." He laughed so much that tears were about to flow. Smile. Smile more. Why don't you just laugh and die? Waiting for him to laugh enough, his whole body lazily leaned against the dragon's chair, kicking me from top to bottom. "The queen taught you?" I shook my head.
