Chapter 1 — From Crown Princess to Tan Vuong Phi

One day before the big wedding, the crown prince's phoenix was brought to the Marquis Palace. Phuong Quan wore it on his head, but I couldn't fit it. The concubine, standing next to her, watching the excitement, spoke up: "Let me try wearing it for you." The phoenix crown on the concubine's head fit so snugly and was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it. The inner lady said in horror: "This phoenix mandarin was once brought to Tu Van to chant sutras to pray for good fortune. The Crown Princess not wearing it is not a good omen, it is a sign of great danger." The Crown Prince sighed: "This is heaven's will. Minh Chau, the phoenix mandarin has chosen its owner, it seems that the only person who can become the Crown Prince Concubine is Minh Ngoc." "But I cannot betray you. If you are willing, I will ordain you as a concubine, and we will marry you together." East Palace, avoid causing more trouble and causing people to gossip about Minh Ngoc." Father said: "They are all sisters, it's okay if you give in to your sister once. In the past, she also gave up her favorite cinnamon flower cake to you." Just like that, the person who became the Crown Princess changed from me to a second sister. A concubine was replaced by a concubine, and I became the laughing stock of the whole world. Until I heard the inner lady talking to the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, please rest assured. According to your instructions, the phoenix crown is made according to the size of the second young lady, the first lady definitely cannot fit it." "The position of the Crown Princess will definitely belong to the second young lady, just as you wish." At that time I knew that this was a trap set by the Crown Prince and his second sister. Reborn again, this time I must make the Crown Prince understand that only the person who marries me can become the Crown Prince. He wants to marry a concubine, I will fulfill my wish to love his beauty and not his country. …… “The crown prince, please invite the eldest lady of the Tham family to try the phoenix official.” The voice of the inner lady passed in. I regained my composure, only to discover that I had been reborn. I returned to the day before we got married, just when the Crown Prince brought the phoenix over. Minh Ngoc's concubine wore a pomegranate red dress, dazzlingly beautiful. She looked even more like a bride than me, standing next to me with an excited look on her face. I was about to lose face in front of so many people, of course she was already unable to control herself. Crown Prince Nguyen Ky walked in. The inner lady followed behind, holding up a phoenix coffin, made of gold silk as a frame, and inlaid with pearls and gems. The phoenix on top of the phoenix mandarin spread its wings as if it wanted to fly, displaying all the nobility of the Crown Prince. Everyone exclaimed in surprise: "So beautiful!" The inner lady knelt down: "Please, Miss Tham, try to wear the phoenix crown." The palace maid and mama came forward to serve me. Under everyone's attentive gaze, the phoenix crown was placed on my head, just like in my previous life, it didn't fit at all. Minh Ngoc exclaimed in surprise: "Sister, why doesn't this phoenix coffin fit you? What happened?" Everyone looked scared. After that, Minh Ngoc smiled and said: "Did they get the wrong size? But it's okay, it's just a try-on. Maybe you're too nervous, or should I let you try it on for me?" After saying that, she signaled with her eyes. Mom immediately carefully took off the phoenix crown from my head and placed it on Minh Ngoc's head. The phoenix crown fits tightly, hugging her bun, so beautiful and gorgeous that people can't take their eyes off it. Minh Ngoc smiled proudly, his eyes full of provocation looking towards me: "Your Highness Crown Prince, do you think I look beautiful wearing a phoenix crown?" The inner lady made a "thud" sound and knelt down: "This phoenix crown was once brought to Tu Van to chant sutras for blessings. The Crown Princess not wearing it is both a bad omen and a great omen."Nguyen Ky looked awkward. Before he could open his mouth, I did

interrupted, shouted in a serious voice: "Brave!" "This phoenix crown was made by the Internal Affairs Bureau. The Ministry of Rites and the Internal Affairs Department have sent people many times to carefully measure the size, but they made a phoenix coffin that doesn't fit." "You guys deliberately sabotaged the Crown Prince's big wedding, turning a great event into a great evil. Who do you want to hit in the face?" "A phoenix official took half a year to make, I have tried wearing it countless times. Now you say the size is not suitable. Ly Sir, could you please tell me why this phoenix coffin suddenly no longer fits?" Lord Ly of the Ministry of Rites suddenly encountered a disaster that fell from the sky, and knelt down with a "thump" sound: "Please forgive the Crown Prince. I really don't know, obviously the phoenix coffin was made according to the Crown Prince's size." The people of the Noi Tao Department also changed their faces, only daring to look cautiously at the Crown Prince. I angrily said: "The Crown Prince is the military commander, the Crown Prince is the future mother of the country. Tell me, the size of the Crown Prince's phoenix was manipulated by someone else and you did not know?" "So how do the people at the Ministry of Rites and the Noi Tao Department work? If tomorrow's big wedding cannot be carried out smoothly, will this huge sin be on the head of Lord Ly or the Noi Tao Department?"Nguyen Ky spoke up and advised me: "Minh Chau, this is not a matter of business." big, why do you need to make such a big deal?" Minh Ngoc also chimed in: "That's right, sister. You're just a phoenix mandarin, why do you need to make things difficult for the servants, making others say that the Crown Princess is narrow-minded and damaging the reputation of the Tham family's daughter?" Nguyen Ky coldly said: "I've measured the size several times, and it's just right. It's just that the big wedding will happen tomorrow. It's truly tantalizing." "Minh Chau, I'm afraid that if the phoenix official is not suitable, it is the instructions of the heavens." "I have heard the elders say, if the phoenix official is not suitable, it means it is choosing someone. Minh Chau, the phoenix official has chosen the owner, is it possible that the true crown prince is Minh Ngoc?" "Minh Chau, heaven's will cannot be disobeyed. How about tomorrow let Minh Ngoc marry as the crown prince. You can rest assured, I will not betray you, I will make you a concubine, and we will marry into the East Palace." "The two daughters of the Tham family marrying into the Eastern Palace is also a story, outsiders will not say bad things about Minh Ngoc." My father looked at me angrily, blaming me for causing chaos and chaos: "Minh Chau, you are the eldest sister, of course you have to love and get along with your younger sister." "Minh Ngoc and you are blood sisters. It has come to this point, so what if I give her the cinnamon cake once? I like to give it to you, can't you understand things like him?" Compare the cinnamon cake to the position of Crown Princess? This is my biological father. He stood next to the Crown Prince, protecting Minh Ngoc from behind. It's clear that today they must force me to agree and let my sister marry me as Crown Princess. The guests filling the hall were surprised at the same time. Tomorrow there will be a big wedding, today the Crown Prince wants to change the Crown Princess? Let the second daughter be the main concubine and the first daughter be the second concubine? Everyone looked at me, wanting to see how I would react. The joy on Minh Ngoc's face could not be hidden. She wore a phoenix crown and nestled close to the Crown Prince's arms: "Your Highness, I'm just a concubine, can I really become a Crown Prince?" "But will doing so make you resentful?" I took a step back: "Sorry, Minh Chau cannot agree." My voice echoed, every word and every sentence was a refusal. I looked straight at my father: "Father has always favored Minh Ngoc. Since the day she was brought into the palace, a

Women live more noble lives than women. Father always forces me to yield, and now even the position of Crown Princess wants me to yield." "But father, this position of Crown Princess was not given to the Tham family, but to the grand daughter of Duke Dinh Quoc." "This position is not something anyone can get if they want." Dinh Quoc Princess is my maternal ancestor. This position of Crown Princess is not due to Tham Thu Uyen's face, but to the dignity of Dinh Quoc Duke. My father turned pale and was so speechless that I couldn't say a word. The prince didn't expect me to refuse so decisively. He frowned and looked at me: "Minh Chau, this is a big deal, you can't go against heaven's will." I coldly smiled: "Go against heaven's will? Whether this is God's will or caused by humans is still unknown." "A month ago I tried this phoenix coffin. At that time, there was the Queen next to the Queen, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the people of the Internal Affairs Department all witnessed it with their own eyes. Now the size of the phoenix has changed, has it turned into heaven's will?" I looked at Lord Ly of the Ministry of Rites: "Lord Ly, I suspect someone intentionally sabotaged the Crown Prince's wedding. Please immediately go to the palace to report to the Emperor and the Queen. We must definitely investigate who did it." "Even the grand wedding of the army dared to play tricks, who knows if that person did it elsewhere or not? This is a mortal sin." "There's more." I took a step forward, staring at them: "The pearls on this phoenix coffin were taken from the Queen Mother's dowry, an item given to her by the Queen Mother. Now that the phoenix official has been changed, we still have to report to the Queen Mother to check whether Dong Chau has been damaged or not." "Any of these things are a serious crime. If Lord Ly doesn't go to the palace to report to the Emperor, can you bear that crime?" Lord Ly and the people of Noi Tao Department were sweating profusely, almost limp on the ground. The inner maid's legs trembled, her face was pale as if she was about to faint. But I still pressed each step closer, refusing to give in. "Don't hurry!" I commanded in a serious voice. The inner maid's head was covered in cold sweat, and suddenly she slammed her head on the ground: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, save the slave." talent! This slave will follow your and Second Miss Tham's orders!" "If not, give me a hundred courage, I will not dare to lay hands or feet on the crown prince's phoenix!" "Please spare my life. This slave is just doing his bidding!" His head hit the stone slab in front of him until it bled. The Crown Prince angrily shouted: "That's enough! It was I who told him to secretly send someone to change the size." As soon as the words of the Crown Prince and his inner lady were uttered, everyone was stunned into a stupor. Secretly fixing the size of the Crown Prince's phoenix, this is something people wouldn't even dare to think about. Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince and Tham Minh Ngoc would order someone to do something. All just to raise a concubine to the position of Crown Princess. Everyone covered their mouths, only hating that they had never been to the Tham family, never heard the secret. This is shocking. Because of a concubine, the Crown Prince ordered the Noi Tao Department to change the size of the Crown Prince's phoenix just so that the concubine could ascend the throne. "This is too much. The big wedding is tomorrow, how can the Crown Princess get married?" "Them making such a ruckus is like hitting Miss Tham straight in the face. How will she enter the palace later? How pitiful.” “Father is biased, Crown Prince is also biased. In the future, I'm afraid that Miss Tham will not have good days." "If the first daughter becomes a concubine, and the concubine becomes the main concubine, I'm afraid that even the royal family will become a laughing stock." I looked at the Crown Prince:
