Chapter 3 — Lady Tu Muu Thien Ha
Tieu Canh Hanh's eyes were gentle, "Father, this merit of Nhuoc Duong should not only be rewarded with gold and silver." Prime Minister Tham held a cup of wine, blue veins appearing on the back of his hand. The Emperor looked towards Tham Tri Y, "Tri Y, you and the Crown Prince have been close since childhood. Are you happy for him today?" The eyes of everyone in the palace turned to Tham Tri Y. Wen Ruoc Duong said softly, "If Miss Tham is not happy, I may not accept the reward." The noble ladies began to whisper. "She's not really jealous, is she?" "Saving Miss Wen is saving all three armies, what can she compare it to?" Tieu Canh Hanh's voice turned cold, "Tham Tri Y, father asked you." Tham Tri Y stood up, "Of course the goddess is happy." Ngan Hanh was so hasty that her eyes widened, "Miss." Tham Tri Y continued, "Miss Wen has merit and deserves to be rewarded." On Nhuoc Duong looked up at her, his eyes filled with pride. Tham Tri Y said again, "I just want to ask Miss On one question, where is the entrance to that mountain road, and which wilderness station does the exit lead to?" On Nhuoc Duong's face turned pale. Tieu Canh Hanh immediately spoke up, "How can you casually ask about confidential matters in the army at a banquet?" Tham Tri Y looked at him, "The person who donates his plan, can't even say the path he dedicates?" Wen Nhuoc Duong bit his lip, "At that time I only mentioned it, specifically because the generals in the army went to investigate." Ngan Hanh burst out laughing, "It turns out the constitution was just mentioned." Among the noble ladies, someone frowned, "This statement is not unreasonable." Tieu Canh Hanh slapped the table, "Tham Tri Y, you've had enough." The palace suddenly fell silent. Tham Tri Y lowered her eyes, "Goddess made a mistake." Wen Nhuoc Duong immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, it is because I am not good. If Miss Tham is upset because of my close relationship with Your Highness, I am willing to leave the capital." Tieu Canh Hanh supported her, "Don't talk nonsense." The emperor looked at Tham Tri Y with a complicated expression, "Tri Y, you go down first." Prime Minister Tham stood up, "Your Majesty, this young lady just asked one question." The Emperor sighed, "Today is the grand opening banquet." Tieu Canh Hanh said, "Tham Tri Y, apologize to Nhuoc Duong." Tham Tri Y raised her head, "What do I have to apologize for?" "You openly oppress her, making her feel awkward." "She took my jade, wore my cloak, accepted my map. Now the awkward person is her?" Tieu Canh Hanh's face completely darkened, "Where's the evidence?" Tham Tri Y was silent for a moment, "In your hands." "In my hands there is no evidence from you, only the fact that Nhuoc Duong saved the army." Wen Nhuoc Duong cried and pulled his sleeve, "Your Highness, don't argue with Miss Tham." Tham Tri Y looked at the hand holding him, and suddenly felt the light in the palace was so bright it was blinding. She bowed and bowed, "The goddess leaves." Tieu Canh Hanh's voice came from behind, "If you step out of this palace door, don't step into the Eastern Palace again tomorrow." Tham Tri Y paused. As a child, she always liked to run to the Eastern Palace. There's the begonia tree she planted, there's the book she copied for Tieu Canh Hanh, and there's candy she hid behind the bookshelf. She turned around and looked at Tieu Canh Hanh, "Okay." Tieu Canh Hanh's fingers pressed against the edge of the table, "What did you say?" "I said, okay." She strode out of Ham Nguyen Palace. The night wind outside the palace was very cold. Ngan Hanh chased after her, wrapping his coat around her shoulders, "Miss, why don't you take out the evidence? Don't you have the old draft?" Tham Tri Y looked towards the end of the palace path, "The old draft is no longer with me." Ngan Hanh was stunned, "So where?" "In the East Palace study room." "And yet your highness still asked you for evidence?" Tham Tri Y did not answer. Because the person who asked her for proof was that
The person who knows best where the evidence is. The next day, the news spread throughout the capital. Miss Tham family fought for favor at the palace banquet, forced her to cry, and was chased out of the East Palace by the Crown Prince. Prime Minister Tham was so angry that he presented a memo to Ninh Vien Hau's palace on the court, saying that His Highness's teachings were not strict. Ninh Vien Marquis knelt down on the spot, "Your Majesty, this young lady has been living on the border for a long time. When she returned to the capital, she still had to endure the humiliation of the Tham family. I do not dare to complain. I only ask that your majesty return to the Wen family a clean slate." Prime Minister Tham sneered, "Innocent? Your daughter can't even speak at the entrance to the mountain road." Ninh Vien Marquis looked up, "The Prime Minister and the border generals can all testify, it is indeed this young lady who reminded His Highness the Crown Prince." "Which generals?" "Deputy Adjutant General Chu Hanh." Shen Tri Y stood behind the area reserved for women. When he heard this name, he immediately raised his eyes and looked over. Chu Hanh is a former servant of the Tham family. That year, his mother was seriously ill, so Tham Tri Y took his lucky money to invite the doctor. Later, when he joined the army, Prime Minister Tham even wrote a letter of recommendation for him. The Emperor ordered someone to call Chu Hanh into the palace. Chu Hanh wore armor and knelt straight, "General I would like to testify, Miss Wen did indeed mention the old service station in the army."
