Chapter 1 — Ngoc Boi decided to fall into the hands of the Crown Prince

Ta Thanh Giac said that my appearance is vulgar and not suitable to be the main wife and mother. After three years, he still refused to marry me, and even forced me to wear a veil to meet people. This time, when he held a party for his friends, my veil suddenly blew off in the wind. Everyone immediately fell silent, staring at me without blinking. It wasn't until Ta Thanh Giac's unhappy voice rang out that they regained their composure and hastily corrected themselves:
"Brother Xie is right, with such a light appearance, you have to think carefully about becoming a concubine, let alone becoming a main wife."
"If you marry her, you will definitely be criticized by people for being seduced by her beauty and damaging your reputation."
Ta Thanh Giac thought I took off my veil on purpose and said in disgust:
"You've heard it all, don't rely on a face that will let butterflies surround you and cling to the door of the house."
"With an appearance like yours, even if you offered the engagement contract to someone for free, no one would want it."
He deliberately took my jade pendant and casually threw it on the table. The idea is to humiliate me, to make me realize clearly that no one is willing to marry me. I'm extremely awkward, biting my lip. Unexpectedly, the jade pendant was taken away by the idiot prince of the Marquis Palace. As if he had found a treasure, he said: "I want it."

Everyone was stunned, then burst into laughter. Ta Thanh Giac covered the contempt in his eyes and politely said:
"Trieu Tu Tu, this piece of jade pendant is Tong Nguyen's token of identification, you cannot take it casually."
Trieu Tien hid his hands behind his back, his tone innocent:
“Of course I know what this is. You just said you wanted to give it to someone else, so I want it.”
"A person who does not keep his word cannot stand firm in the world. Do you want to go back on your word?"
Trieu Tien is the only son of Princess Truong and Tran Vien Marquis, noble status, intelligent childhood. But when he was twelve years old, he unfortunately suffered a head injury. Now, although he has grown up to be as tall as jade and incredibly handsome, his mind has never grown bigger. And Ta Thanh Giac is the leader of the capital's young men, always noble and arrogant. He greatly values reputation and reputation. At this moment, his face turned cold. Whether it was admitting his lack of trust, or arguing with an idiot, it made him feel like he lost face. Therefore, he lost patience and told me:
"Tong Nguyen, why don't you quickly reclaim your jade pendant? Are you really delusional and want to cling to the prince?"
I raised my head to look at Ta Thanh Giac, he was silently urging me. He knows that I have always been obedient, and the best way to act is to look at my face. Just like in these three years, if he frowned even once, I would know the limit. He didn't like me wearing makeup and makeup, so I stopped wearing it. I talked and laughed with the maid, but being hated by him was a frivolous gesture, so after that I rarely smiled or spoke. He said my appearance would make people uncomfortable, so when I went out, I covered my face with a scarf. But no matter what he did, he couldn't make Ta Thanh Giac satisfied. I have a dignified appearance, good manners, and have never made a mistake. He still says I brag about my beauty and intentionally seduce. In front of outsiders, he was even colder towards me, condescending in every way. As if him having feelings for me was an extremely humiliating thing. I know, the person Ta Thanh Giac wants to marry is a woman Tu has an elegant temperament and dignified appearance. Not the type of beauty and charm like me, it will damage his reputation. But we cannot change our appearance. I don't want to get involved with him anymore. I stopped and looked at Trieu Tien:
"My lord, do you know that using my jade pendant means you have to settle down with me and marry me?"
Trieu Tien nodded repeatedly: "Sister is beautiful, I know that." His eyes looked straight at me, filled with purity and joy. I didn't dare face him, so I lowered my eyes and slowly said:
"Then please go back and discuss with your family first. If they agree, then come and let me know."

Wait for everyone to leave. Ta Thanh Giac's eyes fell on him, his expressionless face said:
“Tong Nguyen, what do you mean?”
I looked away, gently curling the corners of my lips:
"It doesn't mean anything, your marriage and mine are already not a good match, it's my delusion that I've been entangled with you for so many years."
"Today you broke up with me, of course I have to find someone else to marry."
He paused and said coldly:
"Are you angry with me? Tong Nguyen, you must understand how serious you are. In my place, you have no right to act like this."
“Even if you really want to marry that idiot Trieu Tien, I won't be moved in the slightest.”
I looked at Ta Thanh Giac and said seriously:
“Trieu Tien is not a fool, he just has an immature mentality.”
Moreover, Trieu Tien and I have known each other for a long time. One time, Ta Thanh Giac was in a good mood and took me to a banquet. At the party, I simply replied a few words out of politeness to a gentleman. He immediately turned cold and scolded me in front of everyone for not being at peace and being rude and disrespectful. I felt so sorry for myself that I hid behind the mountain and pretended to cry. A voice suddenly came from above his head: "You're beautiful, why are you crying?" I was startled, raised my head and saw Trieu Tien. He was teased by people, got stuck on the fake mountain, couldn't get down, and couldn't call anyone. Just lay there on your stomach and fell asleep, until you were awakened by my crying. On the outside, he is handsome, but his words are innocent.
“Beautiful sister, can you help me down?”
I realized that his mind was different, on the contrary, he relaxed all the defenses in his heart. I found secure places to set foot and instructed him to slowly climb down. At the end there is a gap half a body high and you need to jump down. I was afraid he was hurt and wanted to reach out to help, but I fell down on the grass with him. Trieu Tien's eyes were bright and clear, his face slowly turned red, he panicked, not daring to look at me. Later, I met him a few times again. He always only came to find me when there was no one around, and he didn't let his servants follow. I asked him why. Trieu Tien lowered his eyes and said with some sadness:
"They all say I'm a fool. If they saw you playing with me, they'd laugh at you."
I can't help but think about myself. As long as I talk to other men, Ta Thanh Giac will be unhappy and say I'm frivolous. Gradually, I stopped talking. Trieu Tien is the first friend I made here. I smiled and gently coaxed him:
“You are just simple-minded, this is not your fault, and I also like talking to you.”
“Last time I was caught by someone Bullied me until I cried, thanks to you making me happy."
Trieu Tien held my hand and smiled sincerely and warmly.
“You are beautiful, if you come to my house, I will definitely not bully you, nor will I let others bully you.”
Today, at my most awkward moment, Trieu Tien appeared. Ta Thanh Giac's face darkened, his tone was cold:
"It's up to you, don't regret it later, just cry and beg me."

For two consecutive days, there was no news of Trieu Tien. I guess his parents probably don't agree. Although Trieu Tien's mind is not yet mature, Princess Truong and Tran Vien Marquis love him very much and have never given up praying for him in the past ten years. With an identity like mine, it's completely normal for them to disagree. While thinking, Mrs. Ta sent someone to call me over. The Ta family's family style is strict, maintaining strict etiquette. In the past, even though Mrs. Ta was dissatisfied with the marriage between a man and a woman like me, she only suppressed it in her heart. Now, she knows that I took the initiative to cancel the marriage, afraid that I will change my mind and get involved again. So she was anxious to find a girl for Ta Thanh Giac to see. As soon as I arrived at the lobby, I immediately saw Tran Uyen Nguyet. She is elegant and elegant, has a dignified appearance, and has known Ta Thanh Giac since childhood. Truly the ideal wife in his heart. If it weren't for me stepping in, I'm afraid the two of them would have gotten married long ago. At this time, two people sat next to each other, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match. It's just that Tran Uyen Nguyet noticed that my ex-fiancee was still staying at the Ta residence. Lady Ta hinted several times in her words that she wanted me to express my attitude. Of course I know, I smiled slightly:
"Miss Tran, don't worry, I will leave in a few days. It won't affect your relationship."
"Ta Thanh Giac is the most respectful person with proper manners, and this lady is definitely a match made in heaven."
Ta Thanh Giac still didn't speak, turned his head to look at me, and said coldly:
"Whether it's a match made in heaven or not, I don't need her to judge."
“Leaving Ta palace, are you going to find Trieu Tien? I advise her not to be so delusional anymore, his door is not as easy to enter as the Ta family's."
I paused, remembering the scene when I first arrived at the Ta family. At that time, Ta Thanh Giac knew that I had lost my parents and was afraid that I would be too sad, so he took me out to relieve my sadness. At the makeup and jewelry shops in the capital, he refused his friend's appointment and wanted to walk with me door to door. He is like a bright moon, treating me with utmost respect. I gradually became happy again, and also lost my heart on him. Later, Ta Thanh Giac heard some rumors. What is it like being infatuated with beauty, drowning in makeup, losing your pure spirit? But he didn't take it to heart and comforted me:
“As long as we act honestly, we don't need to pay attention to the opinions of outsiders.”
Until one time, he came to find me with alcohol. Then he looked at me blankly, without regard for moderation, and forcibly kissed me. From then on, Ta Thanh Giac's eyes when he looked at me were always filled with disgust. Perhaps starting from then, everything should have ended. Returning to my senses, I calmly said: "Then you don't have to worry about it." Ta Thanh Giac's face was gloomy, he put down the tea cup, turned around, waved his sleeve and left.

These past few days, I haven't seen Ta Thanh Giac again. Before If he is angry, he will be cold towards me like that. And I'm also useless. In less than two days, I will proactively bow my head and ask for peace. But now, it won't be like that anymore. Hearing what the maid in the palace said, his marriage with Miss Tran was already decided. Just waiting for a good day to officially get married. The maid observed my face, wanting to see my heartbroken tears. I just smiled slightly:
"Very good, congratulations on finally finding a suitable wife."
The maid saw that she couldn't watch the excitement, so she left in frustration. I have also packed my clothes and prepared to leave the capital. Even though their parents have passed away, the house they left behind is still there. When I return, I still have a place to take refuge. While panicking, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from the back window. I was startled and carefully followed the window frame to look out. Unexpectedly, it was Trieu Tien. He was crawling up from the ground, his eyes lit up when he saw me:
"You're beautiful, my family has agreed. Mother promised to come and marry you."
“From now on, I can be with you every day.”
I see Trieu Tien's face pale and a lot thinner. Guessing that he must have endured a lot of hardship to make Princess Truong agree. Feeling bitter in my heart, I bowed my head and said in a low voice:
"Why don't you go in from the main door? What should you do if you climb the wall and get hurt?"
