Chapter 4 — I Take the Crown Prince to Be My Bride

05

My father was known as the number one treasurer of the capital. Therefore, he applied the "fun education" method with us. He always felt that the sky is big and the earth is big, joy is the greatest. What's the point of living life without being happy? But lately I've been taking out the antiques he's collected so much to play with. So my father always wanted to send me somewhere else to destroy things. As for my mother, she felt that even though she often invited him home to teach her how to read. But you should still go to the library to study for a few years, that will open your eyes. There is a saying that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.

“When you go to Bach Hac library to study for a few years, I will take you to the Jiangnan region for a tour and expand your knowledge.”

I nodded obediently: "Yes." Bach Hac Library is the best library in the capital, many noble ladies and gentlemen of the capital study there. Of course, if you want to study, you have to take an exam. Ta Lan Cam is currently studying there. Actually, how can I pass the exam? However, my mother has a superpower called money. It is said that on the day I enrolled, the famous and arrogant Head of the library hugged a pile of silver and cried bitterly. There's no way, my mother gave me too much!

About the power of my mother's money and how I fell from the sky straight into the library. Fellow students in the library are divided into three factions. One faction believes that the Director accepted bribes to break the rules and humiliate the library's reputation. One faction thinks that thanks to that, the rice and soup eaten at home these days are much tastier, so why not make it? There is one faction, the "grass at the top of the wall", when discussing which side is crowded, they stand on that side. But since I showed up, gangs have sprung up like mushrooms!

"Wow, she's so beautiful! Is it okay to spend money in the library?!" —— Beauty side.

"The only daughter of a civil servant in the capital's third grade, how valuable is her beauty and money!" —— Reality faction.

“Wife, please beggar, hungry, hungry, eat!” —— The “save 10 years of struggle” side.

“…”

Of course, sometimes there are exceptions, for example —— Ta Lan Cam. I just politely smiled at him. Ta Lan Cam immediately denied it: "I don't know her! We're not close at all! At most, we live close by, we've only met about one, two, three... hundred and eighty times, the two of us are not close at all! It's just that my mother and her mother are sweethearts, although she grew up like a fish and a fish, she holds the moon and flowers, but she is absolutely not my ideal type! Absolutely not! In short, she and I are pure, completely pure. has nothing to do with it!” Me: “?” Everyone: "?? No... but no one asked you?" At this moment, Lady Ha sitting next to Ta Lan Cam suddenly understood:

“Oh, I see, Miss Ly and Mr. Ta are childhood sweethearts!”

Ta Lan Cam suddenly panicked: "No! We're not close!" He was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, glancing at me worriedly:

"Are you right? Ly Cam Trieu!"

I scratched my head and replied bewilderedly:

“Ah, yes, we are not close.”

At this moment, Ta Lan Cam breathed a sigh of relief, looking like a burden had been lifted. That whole day, he didn't even listen to the lecture, just turned around and secretly looked at me. His eyes are also strange, very alert. I really don't understand why. Makes people not know where to go.

After school, we followed the appointment to the East door. The Crown Prince was there to welcome me. That's not smart, On the way, he met Ta Lan Cam again. I originally intended to say hello. But I remember that today he just said we don't know each other at all. It's strange, I remember clearly that the two of you were quite close. Perhaps this is the "cold learning" setting that Ta Lan Cam wants to keep at the library? So, I didn't pay any attention to him, just bowed and walked straight. Unexpectedly, someone's arm was suddenly pulled back. I turned my head, my surprised face met Ta Lan Cam's eyes. He lowered his eyes and looked at me, frowned slightly, his tone was cold:

"Tsk, why did you chase me all the way here? I told you clearly, didn't I?"

I really don't understand anything. I was so shocked, so shocked that my eyes opened wide. Probably because my eyes are too wide open. If we're not careful, a small bug flies straight into our eyes. My tears immediately flowed. I shed tears and couldn't hold back my curiosity so I asked him:

"What are you talking about? What brings you all the way here?"

"Also, why do you say we're not close?"

Are you trying to maintain your cold academic image? I haven't finished my sentence yet. Ta Lan Cam's attitude suddenly softened. He seemed to sigh helplessly, pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve and gave it to me, in a gentle tone:

"Cam Trieu, I also want to be good for you, the two of us are not compatible..."

What are you talking about again? I don't understand. I'm wondering, maybe it's because I've been waiting for so long. The prince himself came to find it. He stood not far away, smiled as if looking at the two of us, raised his eyebrows, and called out to me:

"Trieu Trieu, what are you doing? You're not hungry, what time is it?"

I hastily responded, ran slowly to him, and said softly:

“I have to go, my friend is here to pick me up!”

In the background, Ta Lan Cam's face turned pale. I ran out of breath and ran in front of the Crown Prince, my eyes shining:

"Let's go! What delicious food should we go eat today?"

The Crown Prince curled his lips, without moving his voice, grabbed my hand, and said with profound meaning:

"When eating, you should still eat with people you know. There's nothing fun about staying with people you don't know."

"You see what I said right? Trieu Trieu?"

His mouth spoke very seriously, but his fingers were very restless as he scratched my palm, once, twice... It was so itchy. Seeing me obediently nod, the Crown Prince smiled, looking very satisfied. This guy, that guy, why is everyone so strange? Wow, I don't understand.
