Chapter 9 — I Agree To Give Up The Marriage, But No One Knows I'm Smiling

I smiled slightly, bowed and bowed.

"Your Highness the Princess is so complimentary."

"Being favored by the Marquis is Thu Dien's third-generation blessing."

My attitude is neither arrogant nor flattering, discreet and not revealing a single loophole. An unhappy look flashed in Princess An Duong's eyes, but it was inconvenient for her to explode. The banquet started, everyone joined the party one by one according to their seats. Obviously Princess An Duong does not intend to let me go so easily. After a few weeks of drinking, she suddenly raised her cup and stood up.

"Today, I invite you all to come here, first to enjoy the flowers, and second, I also want to take this opportunity to cleanse Lady Hou."

"This princess heard that Lady Hou not only has an outstanding appearance but is also more talented than others."

"How about taking the peonies in the garden today and inviting Mrs. Hau to compose an impromptu poem, so that everyone can admire her style with their own eyes? How about?"

Her words just ended. All eyes turned towards me at the same time. This is clearly an undisguised act of causing trouble. Throughout the capital, everyone does not know that Princess An Duong has read enough poetry since childhood and is famous for her talent. She clearly wanted to humiliate me in front of everyone. If we can't do it, we don't have talent. If you don't do it well, you'll be even more humiliating. If you refuse, you will become a coward. Truly a malicious use of heart. Tieu Dien sitting next to me frowned slightly, just about to speak. Then under the table, I gently placed my hand on the back of his hand. I slowly stood up. Accept all eyes that are focused on you. Smiling softly.

"Your Highness the Princess really speaks highly of her father."

"My father grew up in a bedroom from a young age, his knowledge was shallow, he did not know how to write poetry."

"If we talk about talent, in today's entire party, no one can compare one-thousandth part of Her Highness the Princess."

"Today the peonies are blooming beautifully, only the peerless talent of Her Highness the Princess is worthy of this beauty."

"Incompetent Thu Dien, please listen respectfully, and then loudly applaud Her Highness the Princess's masterpiece."

With just those few words, I lifted her up very high. Put her on a ladder so high that it won't be easy to get down. If you continue to force me, it will be like using the big to oppress the small, losing the royal dignity. What if she herself writes poetry? Then today's banquet will become a place to showcase your own talents, and will no longer have anything to do with me. Princess An Duong's face certainly became a bit unsightly. Perhaps she did not expect me to use this method to gently resolve her troublesome situation. Suddenly, she fell into a situation where she was riding a tiger and had difficulty getting off, going forward was bad and retreating was not enough. The ladies around looked at me, their eyes gradually changing. There was surprise. There is brooding. There are also a few additional precautions. Tieu Dien looked at me, the smile in his eyes was almost impossible to hide. In the end, a female official next to Princess An Duong stepped forward to make peace.

"Madam Hou is too humble. Since she doesn't want to, Her Highness the Princess has no choice but to do things that are difficult for others."

Princess An Duong stepped down, snorted coldly, then sat back in her seat. A storm. It seemed to have calmed down. But I know. This is just the beginning. This Her Royal Highness the Princess will not let go so easily. Which in this citadel. Those who see me as a thorn in their eyes are not the only ones. Escape from the small mansion of the Van family. We just stepped into a bigger cage. Just more gorgeous. Just one wrong step. It is very likely that you will fall into a situation where you will never be able to raise your head again. I raised my glass of wine. Gently take a sip. Wine is good wine. As soon as it entered the mouth, it was fragrant. Just don't know. In that cup of wine. Are there hidden lights and swords that outsiders cannot see? The banquet at Princess An Duong's palace was like a stone thrown into a calm lake. Each ripple spread from one circle to another, quickly spreading throughout the entire capital. After just one night, the rumors about me had a new version. No longer a poor woman abandoned by her family, only thanks to luck can she step up to a high position. But she has turned into a woman with a deep heart and a sharp tongue, even Princess An Duong dares to answer right in front of her. Some people compliment me on being smart. There are also people who scold me for not knowing how high the sky and the earth are. But regardless of whether it's praise or criticism.
