Chapter 4 — My Father Was a Great General of Tran Bac, He Married Me to a Cold-Faced Prime Minister

"Miss! What are you planning to do?!"

“Go visit.”

Trinh Quoc Cong Palace. I gave her my business card and announced that I was the Prime Minister's wife. The gatekeeper was stunned for a long moment, then quickly ran in to announce. Not long after, Trinh Quoc Cong's wife, Vuong Thi, personally came to welcome him.

"The prime minister's wife is coming, it's rude to not welcome her in time."

Vuong Thi smiled politely, but her eyes were full of scrutiny.

"You're being polite," I smiled, "I came today, there's a small matter I want to ask you about."

"Oh? What's going on?"

“I heard that the noble prince mentioned me at court today.”

Vuong Thi's face changed slightly.

"The young prince's temper is high and he doesn't keep his words. I hope the prime minister's wife doesn't take it to heart."

“Of course I don't take it to heart.”

I raised the tea cup and gently blew the tea foam.

"I'm just a little curious, how did Prince Trinh know so much about what happened on my pillow? Or... did he once step into my bedroom?"

Vuong Thi's smile immediately stiffened.

“What does the Prime Minister's wife mean by saying that?”

“No offense.” I put down the tea cup, my voice was slow and leisurely, "I just feel that for a prince who has not yet been married to know so much about his wife's married woman's house, if it were to be spread out... I'm afraid it wouldn't be very good for the reputation of the noble house."

Vuong Thi's face suddenly turned pale.

“I will go back and teach him.”

“No need to teach.”

I stood up and adjusted my sleeves.

"The lady only needs to convey a word to the crown prince - the prime minister is corrupt, not Trinh Quoc Cong's palace. If he is guilty, then it is no longer my 'wind on the knee' problem."

I turned around and walked out, took two steps and turned around.

"Oh right, I almost forgot to mention it. My father has 200,000 Tran Bac troops in hand. He just finished fighting the northern border last month. The generals are currently free and have nothing to do."

Vuong Thi's face completely turned green. I left Trinh Quoc Cong's palace and got on a horse-drawn carriage. Thanh Hoa in the carriage was shaking like a leaf.

“Miss, someone like that is threatening the Duke's palace!”

“What threat?” I leaned against the car wall, "I'm just telling the truth."

The carriage went halfway when it was stopped by a black carriage. The car curtain was lifted, revealing a cold face. Co Dien Chi. He looked at me, there was a clear trace of surprise in his eyes.

“I heard that she went to Trinh Quoc Cong's palace?”

“Really fast news.”

“What did you say to Vuong Thi?”

I think a bit.

“I said my father's soldiers are very free.”

He was silent for three seconds. Then the corners of the lips curled up a little, extremely lightly, and then it was gone. But I saw it. Co Dien Chi knows how to laugh.

“Go back to the palace.” he said.

“I will have dinner with you tonight.”

That night, he not only ate with me, but also personally pushed the bowl of chicken soup that I liked in front of me. The ghosts simultaneously turned to stone. The ladies said, the prime minister had never served food to anyone. I drank the soup, thinking in my heart that although this person was quiet, he didn't seem to be a block of stone. At most, it's just a slowly warming block of jade. After the wedding on the twentieth day, something happened that I did not expect. Someone came to the palace. The Queen Mother's will was to summon the prime minister's wife to the palace for an audience. I look at that intention and intuitively tell it I know——this is not a good thing. The Queen Mother's family name is Trinh, and she is the younger sister of Cong Trinh Quoc. I just came to the door and made someone's daughter-in-law feel awkward, and now that grandmother wants to regain her face. Thanh Hoa was so worried that she spun around.

"Miss, the Queen Mother clearly wants to establish prestige with you! Do we need to notify the general's palace in advance?"

"No need."

I change into an outfit, choosing the simplest one. Don't show off, don't show weakness.

"The Queen Mother wants to see me, so let's meet. I'm not just a piece of paper."

On the way to the palace, my carriage was stopped again. This time it's not Co Dien Chi. It was a young woman with a delicate appearance, dressed in royal attire, standing in the middle of the road.

“The Prime Minister's wife?”

“You are?”

“This slave is the chancellor next to the Queen Mother, surnamed On.” She bowed, "The Queen Mother will send her servants to come first and remind you a word."

She raised her head and smiled gently.

"The Queen Mother said that the Prime Minister's Palace should also add more people."

I was a little stunned. More people? What more people? Aunt Wen's smile deepened.

"The Queen Mother has chosen for the prime minister two girls from clean backgrounds who want to be the prime minister's companions. Today, she summoned her to the palace to ask her opinion."

I stood there, looking at her for a long time. Then burst out laughing.

“Then go ask.”
