Chapter 1 — Lady Tu Muu Thien Ha

The prime minister was only able to have a daughter in his old age, so he immediately carried his one-year-old daughter up to worship him in the morning. The country of Dai Liang had Prime Minister Shen and four sons under his knee, but deliberately there were no daughters. Mrs. Shen had a hard time getting pregnant again. The prime minister's palace, from gatekeeper to kitchen, waited every day for her to give birth to a young lady. Ten months pregnant, Mrs. Tham went into labor. The screams were heart-wrenching and gut-wrenching in the delivery room. Outside, Prime Minister Tham clasped his hands behind his back and walked more than seventy times, his shoe soles about to wear out. A child's cry tore through the window bars. The midwife held the baby and walked out, smiling uncontrollably, "Congratulations Prime Minister, you are a young lady!" Prime Minister Tham held the little girl, his old eyes immediately became wet, "God has eyes, this old man finally has a daughter." Everyone in the palace breathed a sigh of relief. If the young lady hadn't been born, the prime minister would have talked about girls every day, and even the stone lion at the door would have grown a cocoon. The baby girl was born white and rosy, with wet eyes and a pursed mouth. The more Prime Minister Tham looked at it, the more he couldn't bear to let go. In the Tham family, the baby girl is named Tham Tri Y. Prime Minister Tham loved this daughter so much that he had to carry her with him when he went to the morning adoration. At first the Emperor did not allow it, but the court officials also dissuaded him, saying that the court was solemn and could not be used as a joke. The Emperor glanced at Tham Tri Y, his words changed at the corner of his mouth, "The child is still young, not far from his father, prepare." The ministers had to keep their mouths shut. The Emperor held the medal, his eyes kept glancing towards Prime Minister Tham's chest. The little girl didn't cry or fuss, she grinned at him. That day after the tide subsided, a calculation arose in the Emperor's heart. He has a Crown Prince Tieu Canh Hanh who has just turned three years old, and is missing a Crown Prince who has been raised in front of him since childhood. This matter must be done soon, if it is late, the old man named Tham will definitely hide his daughter. After the end of the court, Prime Minister Tham carried his daughter as he walked under the jade steps, his inner lady immediately chased after him, "Prime Minister stop walking, His Majesty invites you to come to the palace to talk." Prime Minister Tham immediately wrapped the baby tightly in his chest with a cloak, "If your Majesty asks about official matters, please discuss them at court tomorrow. My daughter is hungry and must go back to the palace to be breastfed." The inner lady smiled flatteringly, "Your Majesty said, I won't miss the lady's milk feeding." After hearing this, Prime Minister Tham became even more wary, "If you don't miss breastfeeding, then it's not a small matter." In the royal palace, the Emperor held a cup of tea and smiled like an old man selling gourds. "Dear Khanh, you see my Crown Prince is three years old, and your Tri Y is also one year old. How about I decide to marry the two of them." The Prime Minister took his daughter back half a step, "No." The Emperor had not yet had time to drink his tea, "I haven't finished speaking yet." "I can't even finish speaking." Prime Minister Tham held his daughter tightly in his arms, "The old man only has this daughter's acne, why would he let your son trample on him?" The Emperor's smile stiffened on his face, "My son is the Crown Prince." "The Crown Prince is also someone else's son." "After he ascends the throne, Tri Y will be the Queen." "The Queen also has to get up early, take care of the harem, and also have to wait for your son to read the medals. The old man's daughter does not need to suffer this crime." The emperor endured and endured again, "Dear Khanh, you cannot raise the child for the rest of your life without getting married." Prime Minister Tham argued eloquently, "The old man can afford it." Outside the palace gate came a clear, young voice, "Father." Three-year-old Tieu Canh Hanh stepped out from behind the screen, wearing a tiny, moldy Crown Prince's robe

The face is white, the eyebrows and eyes have some prominent features. The boy obediently bowed, "I pay my respects to my father." The Emperor immediately waved his hand, "Canh Hanh, come and introduce yourself, this is your future father-in-law." Prime Minister Tham's face was dark. Tieu Canh Hanh raised his head to look at Prime Minister Tham and said seriously, "Hello future father-in-law." Prime Minister Tham gritted his teeth, "Your Highness, be careful what you say." Tieu Canh Hanh looked at the baby girl in his chest again. Tham Tri Y was originally hesitant. As soon as she saw the boy, she stopped crying and even reached out to grab his sleeve. Prime Minister Tham bowed his head and glared at his daughter, "You're only one year old, don't reach out when you see a beautiful woman." The Emperor immediately burst out laughing, "Hey Khanh, look at the two children who are destined to be together." Prime Minister Tham hugged his daughter tightly, "If there is a relationship, we have to wait until she knows how to say no before we discuss further." Tieu Canh Hanh stepped a little closer, his small hand gently touching Tham Tri Y's hand. Tham Tri Y grabbed one of the boy's fingers and chuckled. Tieu Canh Hanh looked at her, as if he had caught the most beautiful pearl in the world, "Father, I want you." Prime Minister Tham almost scolded him on the spot, "His Royal Highness, things cannot be claimed haphazardly, and people cannot be claimed haphazardly." Tieu Canh Hanh didn't understand what the adults said, just lowered his head to look at Tham Tri Y, "She's laughing." The Emperor took the opportunity to say, "For the time being, don't issue orders. First, let the two children meet each other often. Dear Khanh, is that okay anyway?" Prime Minister Tham looked at the girl smiling carelessly in her chest and choked for a long time, "Only meet, don't rob." Three years later, Tham Tri Y was four years old when the Emperor issued a verbal edict to welcome him into the palace to read books. She became a small tail following Tieu Canh Hanh. While the Grand Deputy was lecturing, she collapsed on the table drawing little rabbits. Tieu Canh Hanh covered the eunuch's ruler on her behalf. The small kitchen brought breakfast. She stuffed the largest piece into Tieu Canh Hanh's mouth first, then took the half-bitten piece for herself. One day, she grabbed the empty bowl and ran into the Eastern Palace study room, "Brother Crown Prince, I want to drink sweet milk tea." Tieu Canh Hanh put down the book, reached out to her, "Call your husband." Tham Tri Y blinked, "What is a husband?" "It's the person who will buy sweet milk tea for you in the future." "Husband." Tieu Canh Hanh contentedly led her hand to the small kitchen. Prime Minister Tham heard about this and angrily slapped the table in the royal study, "Your Majesty, your son tricked my daughter into calling me husband." The Emperor pretended to turn over the chapter, "Children do bad things, there's no need for you to take it as real." "Then let the Crown Prince call me father." The Emperor immediately raised his head, "That's not polite." Prime Minister Tham smiled coldly, "Is it polite to trick the old minister's daughter?" Tieu Canh Hanh stood at the door, hiding Tham Tri Y behind his back, "Sir, I did not lie to you. I will buy you a lot of sweet milk tea from now on." Tham Tri Y poked her head out from behind him, "Father, brother Crown Prince kept his word." Prime Minister Tham was blocked by his own daughter and was unable to say a word. At that time, he could not have imagined that fifteen years later, this same Tieu Canh Hanh would, in front of countless palace servants, break the jade protection piece that Tham Tri Y gave her, saying that she was not worthy of standing in the main hall of the East Palace. Even more unexpectedly, the daughter he cradled in the palm of his hand grew up, kneeling in the rain, and people pointed at his nose and cursed her as a single woman stealing his favor. When Tham Tri Y was nineteen years old, the news of a great victory spread across the border. Tieu Canh Hanh led his army back to the capital, people crowded both sides of the road to welcome him. Tham Tri Y stood below

On the floor, in her hand she held a black cloak that she had sewn by herself for three months. Ngan Hanh stood next to her and stood on tiptoe, looking at her, "Miss, your Highness will definitely be very happy to see you. Thanks to the strategy you sent to destroy the enemy, your Highness was able to save so many deaths." Tham Tri Y pressed his hand on the dark pattern on the robe, "Don't mention that letter. He is the Crown Prince, the credit should be his." Ngan Hanh was not convinced, "But clearly that was the path drawn by someone who stayed up all night for three nights. Even the old master said that in exchange for another general, he might not have dared to take that mountain trail." "Ngan Hanh." "Slave shut your mouth." Ngan Hanh pouted, "But I feel resentful instead." The sound of horse hooves approached. Tieu Canh Hanh wore armor, sat on a tall horse, and walked next to a woman in white. The woman had half her veil lifted, her eyes were gentle, her riding skills were not good, Tieu Canh Hanh always leaned over to protect her along the way. The people's shouts grew louder, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Someone asked, "Who is that lady?" The person next to him replied, "I heard that she is the second lady of Ninh Vien Marquis On Nhuoc Duong's palace. Her Highness encountered an accident at the border, it was she who offered the plan to save the three armies." Ngan Hanh's face changed, "Offering a plan? What plan did she offer?" Tham Tri Y looked at the white jade tablet hanging on the woman's waist. That piece of jade card is hers. She personally gave it to Tieu Canh Hanh before departing, telling him to take it with him to ensure safety. Tieu Canh Hanh arrived at the city gate, turned around and dismounted. Tham Tri Y took a step forward, "Your Highness." Tieu Canh Hanh saw her, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, "Why are you here?" Ngan Hanh couldn't help but say, "My lady has been waiting for two hours to bring the cloak to His Highness." Wen Nhuoc Duong coughed softly, "Miss Shen, don't blame your highness. On the cold windy road, your highness gave my coat to a wounded soldier, so I was able to ride a horse next to your highness." Tham Tri Y didn't look at her, just passed his coat over, "It's cold on the road, please change into it." Tieu Canh Hanh did not accept, "Nhuoc Duong is sick, needs him more than me." After he finished speaking, he picked up the cloak and placed it on On Nhuoc Duong's shoulders. Ngan Hanh immediately panicked, "Your Highness, that was sewn by the lady herself!" Wen Nhuoc Duong reached out to hold the cloak, "It turns out Miss Tham made it. Then I should still give it back to you, lest outsiders say I stole your things." She said and then tried to take it off. Tieu Canh Hanh pressed her hand, "Just wear it." Tham Tri Y retracted her empty hand, "So where is that jade tablet?" Tieu Canh Hanh frowned, "What jade card?" Wen Nhuoc Duong lowered his head to look, as if he had just remembered, "Miss Tham said this? Her Highness said that I had merit in the army, so she gave it to me to wear to calm my mind." Ngan Hanh was so angry that her voice trembled, "This is the protective jade that the young lady has worn since childhood!" Tieu Canh Hanh's face darkened, "It's just a piece of jade, what are you making a fuss about?" Tham Tri Y looked at him, "Did you give her that mountain road map?" On Nhuoc Duong immediately looked at Tieu Canh Hanh, "Your Highness, did Miss Tham misunderstand? That day I only casually mentioned the old service station, after the military advisors discussed it, then decided." Tieu Canh Hanh's voice stiffened, "Nhuoc Duong doesn't fight for credit, you don't force her to be embarrassed." "I force her?" "Tham Tri Y, today three troops entered the city, the common people are all here. Do you have to cause trouble here to make it unsightly?" Tham Tri Y's hands still had small puncture wounds from needles, the wind had just blown past, the pain was so painful that he was awake. She asked softly, “Tieu Canh Hanh, you really

Do you think that path was her idea?
