Chapter 5 — I Went to the Border to Seek Peace and Met the Man of My Dreams

“It was said that even the son of a second-rank official cannot be joked about,

Then, my meritorious servant, who protected hundreds of thousands of people on the border from soldiers and swords, on the day of great victory returned to the court, the emperor personally issued orders, ordering hundreds of mandarins to come out to welcome him, but today the district lord Tiet publicly makes fun of him, isn't that because he doesn't respect the holy will given?" Today I represent the general's palace, which did not want to cause trouble, but they ended up finding themselves in trouble. When it comes to the reputation of the general's palace, I absolutely will not give in even half a step.

“Very well said.”

Applause rang out. I turned around, the eldest princess and her son-in-law were standing not far behind. Behind them is the princess's little servant, Ly Mo Bach, and her husband, who often sleeps in my study, Do Kinh Van. The person who applauded was the son-in-law. He is nearly fifty years old, but he still has an elegant demeanor, enough to see how much he amazed many people when he was young.

"Little General Do, the mother-in-law of the general's palace that you chose is indeed very good. She has the appearance of a heroic daughter, truly a member of the Do family."

Do Kinh Van stood next to him, his smile so bright it was blinding.

"The concubine is right. Our general's palace has indeed married a treasure."

The words were said to the son-in-law, but his eyes from beginning to end never left me. Seeing him look at me like that, I couldn't help but blush, so I bowed my head and bowed towards Princess Truong and her husband-in-law.

"Okay, everyone sit down, don't disturb the Princess's banquet."

The royal concubine helped Princess Truong go to the main throne, Do Kinh Van and Ly Mo Bach also followed. I still returned to the original corner and sat down peacefully. Just listening to the side, a few young ladies were whispering.

"So he is Do Kinh Van. With that appearance and temperament, standing next to the little marquis - the number one handsome man in the capital, is not inferior, even a little more handsome and proud."

"If you look like that, if it's me, I'll also marry you. What's the matter if you don't understand the music? It's really convenient for Giang Dao."

I quietly raised my eyebrows. It's true that many flowers can easily make people dizzy. Unfortunately, you don't have a chance. I took the opportunity to glance at him while drinking tea. He was chatting with the little marquis. Those eyes are so captivating, just a few smiles are enough to make others fascinated. Making the surrounding ladies gasp in surprise. I pouted slightly. If you knew I was alone right now, I'm afraid you'd laugh until your teeth fell out. I was deep in thought when I suddenly felt someone looking behind me. Turning my head, my eyes just in time met the warm eyes of Second Young Master Bui - Bui Minh Vien. I quickly turned away and saw Princess Hoa Ninh looking at me with resentful eyes. It's truly a wind-blown disaster. The one who was returned the old eight words was me, yet Bui Minh Vien's eyes were so melancholy. That look was hot on my back. It wasn't until Bich Lan stood up to shield me that I felt more comfortable. In the middle of the banquet, the little marquis suddenly suggested changing the rules this year.

"Mother, today at this banquet we will not play poetry or lyrics anymore. The Emperor values martial arts and requires all the princes to learn horseback riding and archery. How about we also Let's do it, let everyone compare their archery skills."

As soon as the young master opened his mouth, the Princess of course had no reason to refuse.

“That's okay. Today, this palace has prepared a set of jewelry encrusted with gems as the top reward, considered to add color to the scholars."

After speaking, a maid brought up a box, inside was a set of jeweled jewelry. Under the sunlight, the light sparkled brightly, and as soon as I saw it, I knew it was not an ordinary thing. Some people realized that it was the jewelry set when the Princess became married, awarded by the emperor, and was extremely expensive. Everyone stepped forward, their faces eager to try. Do Kinh Van bowed to the Princess Truong and said:

"Eldest princess, Kinh Van just got married, and wants to add a piece of jewelry to his new wife to get some good luck."

The little marquis immediately did not agree.

"You are a military general, currently holding the position of leader in the army. If you take action, then what will the others have?"

Do Kinh Van smiled and said:

“What the young master said is right. If I cover my eyes and switch to using my left hand to shoot, I don't know if those present will feel this is fair or not."
