Chapter 1 — Men on the side of the road are not picked up

My mother often told me that a man lying on the side of the road should absolutely not be picked up, unless his name is Truong Nghi. On the way up the mountain to pick herbs, I met a strange man covered in blood, lying on the side of the road. He immediately asked with bright eyes: "Is your name Truong Nghi?" The other man replied: "This is Ta Ky An..." Not Truong Nghi? So no more saving! I lifted my foot to leave, suddenly the hem of my dress was grabbed by the man. "Save me... When I return home, I will definitely give you ten thousand taels of gold!" I did not waver. The man gritted his teeth: "Another five-layer courtyard in the capital!" I slowed down. "A thousand acres of good fields on the outskirts of the capital!" I immediately turned around: "But I have to say it again, I have always liked to entertain people..." 1 My name is Khuong Tue Ninh, my mother is a time-traveling woman. Our mother and daughter live in seclusion in the deep mountains, rely on each other, and make a living by picking herbs. From a young age, my mother told me that a man lying on the side of the road should absolutely not be picked up, unless his name is Truong Nghi. I don't know who that Truong Nghi is. But I believe that my mother will absolutely not harm me. So, on the way back from picking tobacco, when I saw a man lying there covered in blood in the forest, I immediately asked the question I was most concerned about: "Dude, are you Truong Nghi?" The man was seriously injured, with difficulty opening his mouth: "This one is Ta Thi Ha Dong, Ta Ky An..." I was immediately disappointed, turned around and left: "So it's not Truong Nghi, so no more help!" Lady!" Ta Ky An reached out and grabbed the hem of my dress. "Please save me... When I return home, I will definitely give you ten thousand taels of gold!" "But my mother said, the men picked up on the side of the road, except for a man named Truong Nghi, no one else can believe anything." Ta Ky An looked both desperate and sad. Just how divine is this Truong Nghi? But now is not the time to worry about that. He was chased by his successor's men, all the guards escorting him died, he himself was also seriously injured, relying on his last remaining breath to run here. It was very difficult to meet a person. If this person did not save him, perhaps he would die here tonight, his body gnawed by wild animals... Thinking of this, Ta Ky An gritted his teeth: "Another five-layer courtyard in the capital!" I slowed down. Ta Ky An spat out a mouthful of blood, trying to use the last bit of strength to say: "A thousand acres of good fields on the outskirts of the capital! Plus a hot spring manor!" I immediately turned around: "But I have to say it again, saving a life is better than building seven floors of Buddhist temples..." 2 I took Ta Ky An home, my mother was so angry that she continuously patted her thigh. "It's broken, it's broken! Looking at this person, you know he's being chased by the enemy." "According to the scriptwriter's script, Wait until his enemies find him, we will hide him." "After that, the enemy will kill all the people in our village." "An Ninh, you have caused a big disaster!" I immediately panicked: "Mother, what should I do now? Or should I bring him back?" Ta Ky An did not expect that I was not pure at all, much less honest, in an emergency, I could only reveal my identity. "You are the eldest son born to me. Your Majesty, Crown Prince Ta Ky An." "Thank you both for your help. This is the dragon pendant I always carry with me. Please bring this jade pendant to Ung Chau headquarters to report. When General On leads the army to respond, I will definitely send someone to protect you two!" The mother picked up the jade pendant, pondered for a moment, then asked Ta Ky An a question: "For this kindness of saving my daughter, how do you intend to repay me?" Is it... letting her go to the palace to be a concubine? 3Ta Ky An was stunned

feverishly: "You have given me a life-saving grace, how can you return a favor with resentment?" "Moreover, you already have a crown prince, who is the daughter of General Wen in Ung Chau camp." "You cannot repay this life-saving grace with your body, you can only give the lady ten thousand taels of gold, good fields and a beautiful house..." My mother was overjoyed and patted my shoulder hard: "A Ninh, this is Truong Nghi! Saved, saved!" Having finished speaking, she immediately busy. On the one hand, he found someone to go to Ung Chau headquarters to report the news, and on the other hand, he organized the villagers to move to a cave in the mountain behind. Sure enough, not long after, a fire broke out in the village at the foot of the mountain. Ta Ky An and I both looked at our mother with admiration. Mother calmly said: “This is the power of the plot!” 4On the fourth day we hid in the deep mountains, General Wen finally arrived with a large army. At that time, I was changing the medicine for Ta Ky An. Looking at Ta Ky An with his upper body bare, a sixteen-year-old girl like me did not avoid it at all, just holding the glue and applying it over and over on his body. General Wen's face changed continuously, he clasped his hands and bowed: "To pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!" "I wonder if this... is the beauty that Your Highness has just accepted?" I was so scared that I jumped three meters away: "The old general misunderstood, I am just a nurse applying ointment to His Highness the Crown Prince!" Ta Ky An was also extremely helpless: "Your father-in-law misunderstood. This person is the benefactor who saved my life." Miss Khuong." Unexpectedly, General Wen's face was even more ugly. In his mouth, he was still muttering: "Medicine lady... life-saving benefactor... In the original version, the concubines brought back by noble people after going away all have such status..." Ta Ky An couldn't bear it anymore, opened his mouth to interrupt General Wen's deduction: "Lord father-in-law, Miss Khuong and your mother are your life-saving benefactors. You promised that after returning, you will reward them with good fields, a beautiful house and ten thousand taels of gold." "You are seriously injured now, no. If you can't hold a pen, you'll have to ask your father-in-law to help you write a letter to the crown prince, asking her to prepare a gift of gratitude." General Wen seemed to know how to change his expression. Upon hearing this, he immediately turned angry into joy and laughed loudly. "Good fields, beautiful house? Easy to say, easy to say!" "Thank you both for saving your highness, I will also give you a gift after returning to the capital!" As long as I don't compete with your daughter Sir, they have a lot of that money in the general's palace! General Wen arranged for an army to station in our village. One is to keep the promise and protect the villagers. Second, according to mother's guess, they also wanted to hug the tree and wait for the rabbit, capturing a few survivors and bringing them back as witnesses. Not long after, my mother and I followed Ta Ky An back to the capital. 5After returning to the capital, Ta Ky An indeed kept his promise, giving me and my mother a large house with five courtyards! Crown Princess Wen Namzhi personally brought people to bring ten thousand taels of gold, along with a land deed for a thousand acres of good fields on the outskirts of the capital and a hot spring manor. Also brought in were chests so long that one could not see the end. The inside is filled with silk brocades, royal decorations, jewels, all kinds of antiques and paintings. The Crown Princess warmly held my hand: "Thank you very much for saving Miss Khuong's life. Your Highness has told this palace that these things of gold and silver are just a little bit of sincerity." "After a while, Your Highness will inform father, accept Miss Khuong as her sister, and make her a princess." Ta Ky An is indeed like the "Truong Nghi" that mother once said, a person who knows how to repay kindness. Half a month later, a decree was issued, I was ordained as Princess Vinh Ninh, and my mother also received her second official fate.

product. Ta Ky An also told the crown prince to organize a blind date banquet for me. "Khuong Tue Ninh, you should repay the favor of saving your life with your body. You already have a crown prince, and you can't repay the prince with your body, so let your brother find a suitable husband for you!" Ta Ky An and On Nam Chi personally helped me check each person. Not long after, my marriage was fixed. The opponent is He Chieu Ngoc, the third son of Count Tuong Thanh's palace, his father is an earl, and his mother is Princess Duong. The Crown Princess held my hand and patiently explained the reason for choosing him: "Ha Nhi is the second son, above him there is also an elder brother who inherits the title. When I marry there, I don't need to be a patriarch, nor do I need to take care of the trivial matters in the palace. The couple lives their own lives in isolation, free and easy!" I won't mistreat you two..."My mother and I are both very good at listening to advice. Mother also used the excuse that she was from the mountains and did not understand the rules of noble families, so she left all matters of my marriage to the crown prince to arrange. I didn't expect that Ta Ky An and On Nam Chi would actually treat me like their own sisters and wholeheartedly prepare for my marriage. On the big wedding day, the crown prince invited his mother, the general's wife, to come and do my makeup herself. The Crown Prince carried me onto the palanquin. "An Ninh, you are my life-saving benefactor. From now on, the Eastern Palace will be your mother's house." "If you have to suffer resentment in the Count's palace, just return to the Eastern Palace! You and the Crown Princess will have your back!" I sniffed my nose and softly called out: "Brother."6 After we got married, it was just like what the Crown Princess said, because we weren't stepfathers, I and Ha were Chieu Ngoc lives a very free life. All big and small matters in the house are taken care of by the mother-in-law and the eldest sister-in-law. Ha Chieu Ngoc is a playboy who takes me around the capital. Just when I thought that I and Ha Chieu Ngoc could be together until the end of our lives, the incident happened again. Ha Chieu Ngoc was ordered to the border to transport some food and weapons. When he returned, he and a red-shirted woman were riding on the same horse! In the blink of an eye, I remembered the stories my mother once told me. When the general returned from the expedition, the "local specialties" he brought with him were not good brothers disguised as men, but also medical women who had saved his life, forcing him to repay him with his own life... Sure enough! Ha Chieu Ngoc opened her mouth: "A Ninh, this is Miss Bach, Bach Chi Vi." "This time escorting food and grass, in the middle of the road I encountered an enemy ambush and was seriously injured. Luckily, Miss Bach has excellent medical skills to save me." "But she is an unmarried lady, in order to heal me, she had to stay in the camp and take care of me for a whole month, damaging my reputation..." I interrupted his lengthy explanation: "So what do you want?" Ha Chieu Ngoc held Bach Chi Vi's hand, her tone was firm: "An Ninh, you must repay the favor of saving your life with your own life. I have damaged Miss Bach's reputation, I must take responsibility for you." "So?" "So, I intend to use this victory to ask Your Majesty to give Chi Vi a death sentence." "From now on, you and Chi Vi, no matter how big or small, are both my wives..." I was so angry that I laughed: "What about me? Ha Chieu Ngoc, before leaving. Just like that, you promised that when you return this time, you will ask for my fate..." "Don't you already have a title?" Ha Chieu Ngoc impatiently interrupted me. "And the title of Princess Vinh Ninh, which His Highness the Crown Prince himself asked to confer on you." 7 Seeing my face was not good, Ha Chieu Ngoc also seemed to realize that he was wrong. He let go of Bach Chi Vi's hand and walked towards me. Just like when we first got married, he held my hand and gently shook it.
