Chapter 2 — Lady Tu Muu Thien Ha

Tieu Canh Hanh looked at her, as if he was looking at someone deliberately causing trouble, "It's not her, could it be you? You're in the capital embroidering flowers and looking at plums, so what do you understand by marching?" Ngan Hanh scolded, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of saying this?" On Nhuoc Duong's tears fell just in time, "Miss Ngan Hanh, don't scold your highness. I'm not good, I shouldn't have accepted the jade token, and I shouldn't have accepted the cloak." Tieu Canh Hanh turned around to support her, "You don't have to bow to her." Tham Tri Y looked at his hand supporting On Nhuoc Duong and suddenly laughed, "I understand." Tieu Canh Hanh frowned, "What do you understand?" "You want to give my things to her, I can't stop you." She turned around to leave. Behind Wen Ruoc Duong spoke again, "Miss Shen, Your Highness has brought back the petition letter from the border people. His Majesty is about to reward the donors at the royal banquet. If you still pay attention, I can not go." Tieu Canh Hanh said, "You had to go. You saved me, saved the three armies, no one can take away your credit." Ngan Hanh pulled Tham Tri Y, almost crying, "Miss, please say something." Tham Tri Y did not turn back. The sound of drums upstairs echoed through the sky. She heard Tieu Canh Hanh say to Wen Nhuoc Duong, "Nhuoc Duong, don't be afraid. With me here, no one can bully you." Tieu Canh Hanh also said this sentence to her before. That year, she stuck her hand into the dog's hole and, on his behalf, picked up the jade pendant thrown there by the princes. The back of his hand was cut and bleeding by a broken tile. He grabbed her hand and said, Tri Y, don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can bully you. It turns out that some words were not oaths, but were just convenient words at that time. The banquet was set up at Ham Nguyen palace. Tham Tri Y was forced by Prime Minister Tham to stay in the palace and was not allowed to enter the palace. Prime Minister Tham leaned on his cane, so angry that his whiskers curled up, "That little brat from the Tieu family dares to give your credit to someone else, what are you still doing? Watch him reward the daughter of the Wen family?" Tham Tri Y poured tea for his father, "Father, Your Majesty declares that the Tham family is the one. If you don't go, tomorrow the imperial historian will say that the Tham family is arrogant and disrespectful." "Let them speak!" "You are the prime minister." "I am your father first!" Tham Tri Y's hand stopped, "I know." Prime Minister Tham looked at her calm appearance, but was even more upset, "Tri Y, tell me the truth, was that mountain road map given to him by you?" "Yes." "What about the jade card?" "It was also given to me." Prime Minister Tham slammed his palm on the table, "You beast!" Ngan Hanh continued at the door, "The old man scolded you too lightly." Tham Tri Y said, “Father, I will go tonight.” Prime Minister Tham glared at her, "Are you still going?" "Let's go see how he plans to reward Wen Nhuoc Duong." Ngan Hanh immediately nodded, "Yes, let's go. The slave wants to see if the merit of stealing on his head will be a burden to his neck or not." Prime Minister Tham's face darkened, "If you want to make a fuss, I will follow you and make a fuss. At best, this prime minister position will no longer be done." Tham Tri Y shook her head, "Don't make a fuss. Make a fuss now, no one will believe it." Prime Minister Tham stared at her, "Then who believes?" "Those who should believe, will believe." At the palace banquet, On Nhuoc Duong sat in the chair below Tieu Canh Hanh, wearing that black robe. Several noble ladies gathered around her. "Sister Wen, this cloak is so beautiful." "I heard that His Highness personally put it on for you." "In such a miserable wind and mist on the border, you can still dedicate yourself to saving the army, what an amazing woman." Wen Nhuoc Duong bowed his head, "I only did what I should do." When Tham Tri Y entered the palace, the laughter of the ladies became a little lighter. Someone deliberately raised their voice, "Miss Tham is here. She is here."

And Your Highness is my childhood friend, seeing Sister Wen being rewarded, you probably won't be happy, right?" Another person chimed in, “Why is that? Miss Tham knows the most about the general situation.” Just as Ngan Hanh was about to resist, he was stopped by Tham Tri Y. Tieu Canh Hanh watched her step forward, between his eyebrows he suppressed his frustration, "If you come to cause trouble, then go back early." Tham Tri Y bowed, "The goddess has come to the party." Wen Nhuoc Duong stood up, "Miss Shen, sit where I am." As soon as she moved, the jade tablet on her waist collided with the wine cup, emitting a clear sound. Tham Tri Y stared at that piece of jade. Wen Nhuoc Duong followed her gaze and frantically covered it, "Sorry, I forgot to take it off." Tieu Canh Hanh pulled her back to her seat, "You're not wrong, what are you hiding?" When the Emperor arrived, he knelt down in the palace. After three weeks of drinking, the Emperor smiled and said, "This time the border was victorious, the Crown Prince has merit, the generals have merit, I heard that the Wen family's lady donated a mountain pass to save the three armies from danger. Today I have to reward you.” Wen Nhuoc Duong stood up and knelt down, "Goddess was frightened." The Emperor asked, “What do you want?” Wen Nhuoc Duong glanced at Tieu Canh Hanh, "The goddess does not need gold or silver, she only wants your highness to be safe." There was a chorus of praise in the palace.
