Chapter 4 — From Crown Princess to Tan Vuong Phi

At this time, the King of Jin stepped forward: "Father, I heard that Miss Tham wanted to cancel the engagement. I went to Dinh Quoc Cong's palace to marry him. I received the consent of Dinh Quoc Cong and specifically went to the palace to ask my father for a hand in marriage." "It's just that Dinh Quoc Cong was so anxious that he said it himself." "I have admired Miss Tham for a long time, and asked my father and mother to grant me a marriage." "If Miss Tham agrees, I guarantee that in the future, Prince Tan will not marry." In this life, there will only be a princess." Grandfather was extremely satisfied: "Minh Chau, Prince Tan is a martial general, a good warrior, a benevolent person who loves his people, and does not indulge in love between men and women. He will definitely not concubine into a family. It is truly a good relationship." "Before, he wanted to marry me, but at that time I was given a hand in marriage to the Crown Prince more.” Grandfather did not notice that the Crown Prince's face had turned pale, he still happily talked non-stop. I hastily interrupted my great-grandfather: "Please follow my great-grandfather's arrangements for everything. Minh Chau listens to my great-great-grandfather." The emperor laughed loudly: "Okay! Nguyen Canh has long passed the age of consent. Now he personally proposed to marry the young lady of the Tham family. I am extremely happy. Immediately prepare an edict and grant the marriage of King Tan and Tham Minh Chau." The Crown Prince suddenly spoke up and pressed the question of King Tan: "King Tan, Tham Minh Chau is your concubine. Even though the marriage contract is The relationship between you and her has been broken, you cannot become a concubine, but you once said that you would appoint her as a concubine. How dare you ask for a marriage decree?" On King Tan's face, there was a sarcastic look: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, the engagement between you and Miss Tham has been canceled. I also heard her clearly say that she will not marry someone to be a concubine." What can't be done?" "If you're married to the concubine of the Tham family, do you still want your two sisters to marry into the Eastern Palace? Aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at you? By demoting your concubine to the role of concubine, raising your concubine to the position of main concubine, upsetting the concubine, aren't you afraid that the officials or the Crown Prince will be dissatisfied with the people in the world?" Everyone in the palace was happy, no one noticed that the Crown Prince and Tham Minh Ngoc's faces became increasingly pale. I made a trip to the palace, canceled my engagement with the Crown Prince, and changed from Crown Princess to Princess Tan. People in the capital found it difficult to put into words. No one laughed at me for losing my position as Crown Princess. On the contrary, I became Princess Tan. They just felt surprised. Because King Tan is the Queen's son. Right now, the Emperor's dragon body is still healthy, it is still unknown whether the Crown Prince's position can sit firmly or not, and it is still unclear who the person who will be posted to the throne will be. Now that the King of Tan marries me, there will be the most powerful Palace of Dinh Quoc to support me. This is definitely the strongest support, making the Crown Prince's position shaky. As soon as I returned to the palace, the proclamation ordaining Tham Minh Ngoc was also brought. But in the decree ordaining Tham Minh Ngoc, it was written very clearly that because the engagement with the Crown Prince was canceled too suddenly, for fear of people in the world gossiping, causing disadvantages to his position as a military reserve, the wedding ceremony had to be carried out secretly, not held in secret. Becoming a Crown Princess but not being able to hold a solemn wedding is like telling the whole world that this Crown Princess is not liked by the Empress. This time, even the people who came to congratulate, add makeup and dowry to Tham Minh Ngoc were not there. Three days later, the Ceremony involves percussion and gongs

drum, solemnly presented the decree appointing me as Princess Tan. Behind the saint were only a few dozen burdens of rewards from the Queen. The first burden is the re-crafted phoenix coffin. Tham Minh Ngoc pointed at the phoenix coffin and opened her mouth, slurring her words: "It's clear that this is the crown prince's phoenix coffin. How could the Queen give this phoenix coffin to a Royal Princess like you?" I gently lifted the phoenix coffin up. Its size has been revised. The lower part is also encrusted with countless jewels to cover up traces of editing. Lord Ly of the Ministry of Rites respectfully said: "Your Highness the Crown Princess, this phoenix crown was given by the Queen. Your Highness said it was given to Dinh Quoc Cong's granddaughter, Tham Minh Chau, to use when marrying, regardless of whether she is the Crown Princess or Princess Tan." The corners of my lips curled up. I want Tham Minh Ngoc to understand that no matter what status I marry, this phoenix coffin can only belong to me. The Crown Prince stood next to Minh Ngoc, his face became increasingly unsightly, and said angrily: "This phoenix crown is made in the style of the phoenix crown that the Queen Mother used to wear when she was crowned Queen. The Dong Chau on it was also removed from the phoenix crown in the past." "Giving it to Princess Tan is beyond the regulations. Do you, the Ministry of Rites, not understand?" Lord Ly was even more respectful:
