Chapter 16 — During rebirth, the Crown Prince chose the palace maid, I turned around and changed the marriage for King Tinh

Tieu Thua Canh immediately choked up. In his previous life, when Ta Lam Xuyen was convicted of colluding with the enemy, he was a military commander. If he truly believed that Ta Lam Xuyen was unjustly... With the power of the Eastern Palace at that time, it was not impossible to investigate. But he didn't. Because at that time... Ta Lam Xuyen fell, which was beneficial for Dong Cung. Thanh Vu's face changed slightly. She quickly grabbed Tieu Thua Canh's hand. "Your Highness, don't talk anymore." "Vuong Phi Tinh can no longer listen to her." "You still have concubines..." "And there's the baby." This time... Tieu Thua Canh did not immediately hold her hand back. He just quietly watched my shadow enter Bui palace. Before the gate closed... I heard him say softly, "Why..." "She really doesn't need you anymore?" That sound was very soft. So gentle that... Like a block of jade that finally had a crack.9 News of Thanh Vu's pregnancy quickly spread throughout the capital. The Eastern Palace gave rewards everywhere, even the beggar children outside the palace gate received a bowl of hot porridge. This bustle came so quickly, so urgently that it seemed like someone couldn't wait any longer, wanting to use a child to cover up all the awkwardness of the East Palace in the past days. Tieu Thua Canh also regained some confidence. The Imperial Court's decree accused him of favoring the palace maids and humiliating the general. The Queen used the excuse that "the Eastern Palace is happy, so the punishment should not be too severe" to suppress it for a few days. The Ministry of Rites, which had been procrastinating and refusing to issue the letter to bestow Thanh Vu, now began to show signs of concession. Thanh Vu, from an Eastern Palace maid, instantly became "Lady Thanh Vu" in everyone's mouth. It's just that this lady's reputation is not good and her rituals are not enough. On the contrary, the child in her womb has become the biggest face of the Eastern Palace. When Truong Lac brought the invitation to me, she angrily slammed the invitation on the table. "The Queen organized a banquet to reward tomorrow, saying it was to celebrate with the Dong Cung, but in reality she just wanted Thanh Vu to go out and show off." I was looking through the old records of Northern Canh military provisions that Ta Lam Xuyen brought. On the paper there were several names circled in cinnabar, including one of the inner servants, who was the eunuch in charge of the Dong Cung warehouse in his previous life, Liu Tien. I raised my head to look at Truong Lac. "Let's go then." Truong Lac glared at me: "Do you really want to go? Don't you find it disgusting when she puffs her belly back and forth in front of you?" "The more she wants to show off, the more I have to see clearly." Truong Lac was stunned. I closed the old file. "Thanh Vu's story is too coincidental." Truong Lac leaned closer and lowered his voice: "Do you suspect her?" I didn't answer right away. In my previous life, I always thought I couldn't have children, so Thanh Vu's child became the only hope of Dong Cung. I chose a nanny for that child, taught him to read, helped him stop the unclean medicinal dishes that the Queen secretly brought, and also sought a prestigious position in the royal family on his behalf. Later, when I became seriously ill, that child rarely visited me. Thanh Vu said he was busy studying. Tieu Thua Canh said the child was still young and was afraid of being infected with the disease. At that time, even the strength to grieve is gone. Now that I think back, many things in my past life cannot stand careful consideration. "Go see and you will know." Tomorrow's reward banquet was held at Princess Truong Lac's residence. The apricot forest is connected to the lake shore, the snow has not yet melted, the red apricot flowers are blooming. When I arrived, Thanh Vu was being helped out of the carriage by Tieu Thua Canh. She was wearing a light red palace outfit, a fox fur coat, her hair was full of pearls, her hand was gently placed on her lower abdomen, each step was extremely slow. A few ladies nearby respected Dong

Cung, one after another, came forward to congratulate. Thanh Vu smiled shyly. "I'm still young, I shouldn't have shown off like that. It's just that His Highness felt sorry for me and insisted on taking me out for a walk." Tieu Thua Canh stood next to her, but his eyes crossed the crowd and fell on her. Today I'm wearing the formal clothes of Princess Tinh, an ink-colored cloak embroidered with clouds and silver threads, and only a white jade hairpin in my hair. Thanh Vu saw me, the smile on his face stopped for a moment. She quickly hugged her stomach and walked towards me. "Tinh Vuong Phi has arrived." These three words Tinh Vuong Phi were called out by her very reluctantly. I nodded. "Miss Thanh Vu." Her face turned a little white. Truong Lac standing next to him couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Chieu Ninh, this way of addressing you is not wrong. After all, the ordaining documents haven't been given yet, so calling you a highness is a bit too polite." The surrounding ladies all bowed their heads to drink tea. Thanh Vu's eyes turned red, but he did not immediately cry like before. She is wiser now. Since she has children, she can't act too petty. Tieu Thua Canh frowned: "Truong Lac, today is tomorrow's reward banquet, there's no need to open your mouth and hurt others." Truong Lac raised his eyebrows. "Your Royal Highness knows that today is the banquet to reward tomorrow, so just enjoy tomorrow, don't keep staring at someone else's Royal Highness."
