Chapter 6 — Female Emperor Gia Ngon

"Soon the army will return triumphantly, the wedding preparations should also begin." Tieu Tinh Hoai's body stiffened. When he bowed to perform the ceremony, his voice was extremely awkward. "The war has just ended, my lord believes that the marriage should be postponed." My father looked at me and smiled. "This matter is not your turn to decide." Tieu Tinh Hoai and I left the palace together. Just walking a few steps, he chased after me and stopped me, his voice was low and urgent. "Gia Ngon, are you in such a hurry to want me to marry Ta Tuong Nghi?" Only then did I understand. He still doesn't know about the engagement between me and Luc Canh Nghieu. I didn't intend to explain, just tilted my head and looked at him. "It's as you wish, isn't it good?" "Brother Hoai." In my previous life, when we were alone, he would force me to learn Ta Tuong Nghi's tone, gently calling him "Brother Hoai". At that time, this way of addressing us was humiliating and awkward. But now, we can call it calmly and purely. He has truly become my elder brother, righteous and upright. Tieu Tinh Hoai's pupils suddenly shrank.09That day, he did not allow me to call him brother Hoai. I asked what I should call him, he pursed his lips and did not answer. I immediately bowed properly. "It was me who was rude, from now on I should still call you Royal Brother." His face immediately darkened, he waved his sleeve and left. After that, we never saw him again. I only know that every time I was not present, he came to inform his father. He also borrowed all the manuscripts I left behind from my father, saying he wanted to study my views. I heard that a few days ago, he went to his mother's palace. The two of them didn't know what they said, they only knew that when he walked out, his face was extremely unsightly. Until the day the army returned triumphantly. The army advanced from afar, flags covered the sky, and the team was neat. But the military strategist Xiang Y, famous after that battle, did not appear in the team. On the contrary, Ta Tuong Nghi had changed her clothes, hurriedly ran over, carefully observed Tieu Tinh Hoai's face, then quietly admitted her mistake. "Sorry brother Hoai, I was arbitrary." Tieu Tinh Hoai nodded indifferently, as if to ignore this matter. I stood next to him, eyes down. Look, that's exactly what bias is. To me, he is strict about everything. But when facing the person in his heart, he tolerates everything. At this time, Ta Tuong Nghi saw me, couldn't hide his excitement, and secretly waved at me. Tieu Tinh Hoai followed her eyes. When he saw me clearly, he immediately put his arms around Ta Tuong Nghi's waist, bowed his head and said gently: "Do you know... after you left, how much I worried about you?" Ta Tuong Nghi was clearly not used to this intimacy. Her whole body was tense, her hands were on his chest, wanting to step back. But Tieu Tinh Hoai tightened his arm, his eyes passed her and fell directly on my face. Seeing me frown slightly, a smile appeared in his eyes. It's confusing. I decisively moved my eyes and looked towards the returning army. Even though the war had ended, Luc Canh Nghieu's letters were never interrupted for even a day. In addition to letters, there were also small items he searched for along the way. Small clay statues, stone wind chimes, lapis lazuli hair flowers, I don't know where to buy them. Every dish bears traces of the long march. Since Ta Tuong Nghi arrived at the military camp, it seemed like he knew that the letter was only for me to see, and his words became more and more unguarded. He was just a martial artist, how could he write such sour words? Thinking of this, my cheeks couldn't help but feel hot. But the moment we clearly saw the leading general, our blood immediately froze. The man riding the horse held his head high, his iron armor with red tassels, majestic. But the left sleeve is empty. He hasn't

I've never mentioned that I was injured, let alone told him... My heart suddenly sank. Without thinking, I picked up my dress and ran towards him. Seeing me, he was momentarily stunned, immediately turned around and dismounted, smiling brightly. "Your Highness, luck has not failed me." I grabbed the empty sleeve, tears immediately falling. Where exactly did the error occur? Obviously I've tried my best, why can't I still protect you? "Why did it turn out like this... Sorry, sorry..." He frantically used one hand to wipe my tears, a clumsy but careful movement. "Your Highness, don't cry, I'm okay, really okay." The softer he spoke, the more I couldn't stop crying. He had to remove the armor from his chest right in front of everyone. Only then did we clearly see his arm bandaged in layers, hanging securely in front of his neck. Seeing me stop crying, he breathed a sigh of relief. "It's really okay, it's just a small wound. But the military doctor insisted on hanging it up, saying that it would heal faster." Having said that, he raised his eyebrows, his voice suddenly softened, his ears turned red again. "This way we won't miss our big event." "But when wearing armor, it will be difficult to fix it, so we can only hide it inside. Unexpectedly, it made her cry for no reason." I looked at the blood seeping out on the bandage, the rim of my eyes turned red. up.
