Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — He was reborn and asked to marry the Emperor. I turned around and chose the Grand Deputy
He will proactively ask about my recent situation, will care to see if I encounter any awkward situations, and will gently remind me to pay attention to rest every time he sees me frowning thoughtfully. At first, Tom carefully hid the news related to Ve Lam and Tham Uyen, fearing it would hurt her. But seeing that Ta Nghien Chi and I were getting closer and closer, she gradually felt reassured. Now, not only is she no longer reserved, on the contrary, every day she tells me the latest situation of the other two people as if telling an interesting story. I just held the cup of tea and smiled softly, as if listening to something entertaining and entertaining. Mother Su said, after Ve Lam returned to the palace, Duke Ve Quoc was so angry that he immediately invited his family, closed the palace door, and then fiercely beat him, beating him so much that he couldn't get out of bed for several days. He is still closed and reviewing in the palace. As for Tham Uyen, it wasn't much better, her father scolded her for being suspicious in front of the palace, and gave her a one-month detention. Now she has become the laughing stock of the entire harem. While speaking with a tone full of relief, Tom suddenly turned worried. "Your Highness, please forgive this old slave for saying something too polite. His Highness the Third Prince's mind is really not at peace. In the past, she really liked to rob people's things. Now I'm afraid she no longer has eyes for Tu Tu Tu, but with Ta Thai Deputy's dignity and academic talent like that, will she have thoughts that she shouldn't have again?" Tom's worries are not without reason. How could we not know about Tham Uyen's dirty thoughts? But... I want to dream about Ta Nghien Chi... Just as good as her... Is it worth it? 5. Father saw that lately I often hang around outside the Royal Study Room, so today he specially gave Ta Nghien Chi a day off, so he could go for a walk with me. I took advantage of the opportunity to invite Ta Nghien Chi to Ngu Hoa Garden. The autumn weather is beautiful, and in the middle of the water temple, there is the sweet scent of cinnamon flowers. I took out a piece of paper from my sleeve and showed it to him. That's the song 《Autumn Day Posting》 that I spent a few days thinking hard to write. "The poem's meaning is spacious, the writing style is steady, it's just that between each sentence and each word it is still difficult to hide a bit of loneliness and loneliness." After reading each sentence, Ta Nghien Chi had a look of appreciation in his eyes. "Your Highness lives in a forbidden palace all year round and can still write such meteorological writings, it's enough to see that people already have mountains and rivers in their hearts." Being praised by him made me so happy that I intentionally moved a little closer to him. “Sir, you are too complimentary.” I pointed my finger at the fourth verse on the paper, deliberately lowering my voice to a softer tone. "Just this sentence, the student always feels that the meaning is a bit lacking... I wonder if sir can help the student correct it a bit?" Perhaps the way of addressing "sir" and "student" was too intimate, beyond the norm, or perhaps because my breath was too close, Ta Nghien Chi's ears suddenly became tinged with a layer of light red, and he instinctively took a half-step aside. I was about to move closer when I accidentally tripped on a stone under my foot, causing my whole body to immediately lean back. “Ah!” I cried out in fear, quickly closed my eyes, mentally preparing for the back of my head to hit the ground. However, the expected impact did not happen. There was only one big, warm hand firmly holding my back, supporting my whole body. I opened my eyes suspiciously. Unexpectedly, he suddenly encountered Ta Nghien Chi's tense and concerned eyes. The warmth from his palm passed through the thin layer of clothing to her body. My heartbeat immediately became chaotic. The whole body also became hot. In that moment. It seems like everything is quiet. There was only the sound of the two's somewhat rapid breathing left here. With the sound of my heart beating fiercely under my chest, I couldn't ignore it. “Your Highness, are you okay?” The palace staff who had just been dismissed by me all ran over at the same time. “This palace is okay.” I quickly stood still, adjusted my sleeves and took half a step back, my voice was also a bit unstable. “Thank you... thank you Ta Thai Deputy.”
He also immediately withdrew his hand that was still frozen in mid-air, leaned over and coughed softly, his eyes looked down at the water under the bridge, trying to keep his tone calm. “Your Highness... please watch the road carefully.”
