Chapter 6 — I Went to the Border to Seek Peace and Met the Man of My Dreams

There was a stir below. If you can't see the target and use an unfamiliar hand to shoot an arrow, will you be able to hit it?

“If that's the case, just try it.”

The little marquis personally used a silk ribbon to cover his eyes. Pull the bow, draw the arrow. The three arrows left the string at the same time, all hitting the bull's eye. The movements were as seamless as clouds flowing in flowing water, completed in one breath. The whole school was as quiet as paper. He ripped off the silk ribbon, didn't even glance at the target, just smiled and looked straight at me. At that moment, I clearly heard my heart beating rapidly. I tightened the scarf in my hand, walked through the sea of people, and quietly looked at each other from afar. He successfully won that set of jewelry, the little marquis put his arm around his shoulder and was saying something very intimate. I felt tired, so I asked to leave, intending to return to the palace. Unexpectedly, I ran into Bui Minh Vien, who was waiting in the middle of the road. He called me "A Dao", his voice was still as gentle and gentle as in memory. That year, his father appreciated his noble birth and humble demeanor, invited him to the palace as a guest, under the pretext of considering the marriage. I once used the pretext of asking for academic advice. He wore a blue shirt, stood under a row of willows, smiled and lectured me about the story.

"It looks like a string of pearls, loose but not broken."

It was also after that day that I changed from the word brooch, Tieu Khai, to loving cursive books. I looked at him, my voice calm but decisive.

“Please call me Miss Do.”

His face instantly turned pale and he forced a smile.

"The annulment of the marriage that year was not from my own will. Fatherhood is difficult to break. But today, seeing her fall into such a situation, I am truly uneasy."

"Second Young Master Bui doesn't have to be like that. Right now I'm not as bad as you think."

He was stunned, regret and disappointment rolling in his eyes.

"Before, you always called me brother Minh Vien, but now there's only one name, Second Young Master Bui. A Dao, are you resentful of me? Do you know, that year I also argued with my father to the end."

"Your Highness has been married four times, it's not something you and I can control. I don't blame you. It's just that now you and I are both married, things are done, brother Minh Vien, you should also forget the past and look forward."

His face was filled with pain, completely unable to listen to my advice.

"A Dao, what if I can't let go? Are you really willing?"

“Madam, we should go.”

Do Kinh Van's voice was cold, a thin layer of anger appeared on his face. He walked over, grabbed my hand and pulled me forward. While passing Bui Minh Vien, she accidentally bumped into his shoulder. How could a weak scholar like him be able to withstand the collisions of people who struggled all year round in the military barracks? He staggered back a few steps.

“Second Young Master Bui better be more careful.”

Do Kinh Van's voice was so cold that I suddenly shivered. On the carriage, his face was as cold as frost, his icy eyes looked straight at me.

“A Dao, brother Minh Vien… you two call each other very closely.”

I sat up straight, neither arrogant nor flattering, facing his gaze.

"If you've heard everything, you probably know that we're just going over old stories, nothing is off limits."

He seemed agitated, the corners of his eyes were slightly red The hand holding my shoulder trembled slightly.

"Reviewing old stories? Marrying into the general's palace, she really feels so wronged."

My heart suddenly softened. The delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, that look was too pitiful.

“Marrying to the general's palace may be unfair, but I am very happy to marry you.”

His face immediately turned from gloomy to bright, and the strength of his hands also noticeably softened. In my heart, I was secretly happy. I took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, gently placing a kiss on his forehead.

"Everything that happened before, please let it go. I truly love you and want to hold your hand for the rest of my life."

He didn't seem to have time to believe his ears, so he carefully wrapped his arms around me and hugged me. He took the jeweled jewelry from the box, put it on my hair, and then looked at me with passionate eyes for a long time.

“Actually… I can understand the music.”

I looked up from his arms, looked at him questioningly, and then suddenly understood. He was talking about Tiet Nhu Duyet sarcastically mocking me for marrying into the general's palace, saying that my husband didn't understand music and his skills were of no use.
