Chapter 10 — My Husband Criticized Me For Being Inferior To Bach Nguyet Quang, I Immediately Retired My Husband And Married Her Owner

That tone still carried the same joking tone as when he was still King Le. I laughed softly:

“He's still the same, he hasn't changed a bit.”

Suddenly remembering the main story, I asked seriously:

“Now that you are the nine-fifth Supreme Being, you are looking for a common woman to come here… what is going on?”

Hearing that, he was clearly stunned and immediately sat up straight. Coughing a few times, he said:

"I can smoothly ascend the throne, the merits of you and the Bach family cannot be ignored. For the royal position, besides you Bach family, no one is more worthy."

“Is that all?”

I can't help but be suspicious. For such a thing, one only needs to give a holy edict and that's it. Even if it was necessary to negotiate goods or taxes with the emperor, it was not the emperor's turn to personally appear.

"Isn't this a top-notch matter? Besides, it's been a long time since we've seen each other."

Speaking of this, he still had some resentment, his eyes looking at me were full of resentment. I had to soften my voice:

"From now on, I will no longer travel around. If people want to meet me, just a holy decree is enough."

The result is still... he is not satisfied.

“I want to see you every day, can't I?”

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became strange. I had to laugh away:

"Your Majesty is joking. The maid is just a royal spear, entering the palace every day is really not in accordance with etiquette."

“If that's the case, then stop being a king...be a queen.”

He stared at me, as if he wanted to find on my face the expression he was waiting for. Even though I was shocked inside, on the outside I still tried to act gentle, half joking and half serious:

“Could it be that the Emperor wants to take a divorced woman as a model for the world?”

He said in a low voice:

“You know I have a way…”

“Change your name, change your surname, enter the palace under a new identity, right?

Consider everything we've ever done, experienced... just like clouds blowing in the wind?"

"You probably know, all these years I have tried not to be queen, and not for the noble reputation that is below one person, above ten thousand people."

I spoke frankly, my eyes calm and unwavering. I understand him well, understand him to the core.

"You know... what I want is not those things. I just want everyone to know that I, Bach Ngoc Nhu, am not inferior to men. As a woman, I can take care of all the big and small matters in the palace, can reach out and strike wounds in all four directions, and become the king of a country. What I want is to make people admit: women, have never been weaker than men!"

He also understands me, understands me very well. He didn't answer, just quietly looked at me for a long time, then finally smiled slightly.

"That girl... always cuts people's hearts with one knife."

Not sure if it was an illusion or not, but I felt that laughter contained a trace of helplessness, mixed with a loneliness that couldn't be named. I also smiled, a faint but deep smile, like a gentle breeze blowing across the surface of a lake, without any ripples, but my eyes seemed to see through everything. By the time I left the palace, he was still standing in front of the main hall door. The shadow of the tall back under the setting sun stretched endlessly, lonely and cold.

"Ngoc Nhu... this forbidden palace is so cold. Can you... come and stay with me for a while, even if it's just for a little while?"

I turned my head back, the golden sunset on the dragon robe sparkled brilliantly, but amidst all the light There, we can only clearly see the ultimate loneliness in that figure.

"Four years have passed, and the promise between you and I has never changed: You protect the Bach family, then I... vow to always be by your side."

Bach Ngoc Nhu I, as a woman, still firmly ascended to the royal throne, writing a legend that makes posterity admire. Since then, many women have taken me as an example, some entered the official field, some entered the business world, some even put on armor on the battlefield. Everyone writes their own extraordinary story. We haven't been married all our lives, and you've never gotten married either. If… just if. If I could live my life again, I would like to ask you a question at the banquet that year:

"Or, if I leave my husband to marry you, you should give me a concubine, lest he keep talking every day and bother me."

I don't know if at that time, he decisively raised his cup and drank it, then smiled and replied: (TOAN VAN HOAN)
