Chapter 12
Chapter 12 — On the big wedding day, the Queen Mother exchanged me for another prince
Tong Hanh stepped out from behind the screen. He is always listening.
"Phuong family."
"Dinh An marquis Phuong Khac Can is Queen Trieu's brother."
"Phuong Uyen Nhu was brought by Queen Trieu."
"On the surface, it says you came to admire me."
"Actually, I came to investigate."
"Look who's next to me."
"Let's see if she's easy to deal with."
"Her older sister acts as an intermediary."
"It's because I have a close relationship with her."
"Going back and forth will be more convenient."
"Empress Trieu's abacus is indeed very clever."
"She won't stop."
"Bui Thi Lang has fallen."
"She'll have to find someone else to fill the void."
"The Phuong family is a branch of her mother's side."
"For many years, I've always wanted to climb high."
"Tong Duc couldn't find A Dien."
"Then we will attack from somewhere else."
"From where?"
I look at you.
"They will find the breakthrough point from her body."
"You are my only weakness that is exposed to everyone."
I smiled softly.
"I'm not a weakness."
"But they don't know."
Mid-Autumn Festival Nest. Held at Vong Nguyet Lau on the banks of Thai Dich Tri. Famous people from all over the capital were present. I and Tong Hanh attended. This is the first time since getting married. The two of us appeared at an official banquet in the palace as husband and wife. Tong Hanh wore a dark black brocade suit. The old jade block still hangs on my waist. When he entered Vong Nguyet Lau. The entire hall suddenly fell silent for a moment. Everyone looked at him. Some people are curious. Some people were surprised. Someone is calculating. There are also people who happily wait to see the fun. Tong Duc sat in the first position. Lieu Ngam Suong sat behind him on the low bench. Seeing Tong Hanh walk in. Tong Duc raised his wine cup. Still had a smile on his face. A cold smile. Empress Zhao sat in the position of the empress. Gently glanced at us. His facial expression did not change. But we noticed. Next to her was a person. Phuong Uyen Nhu. She wore a long peach dress. Sitting next to Queen Trieu. Laugh until you tremble like a flower branch. Saying something to her. Occasionally, Queen Trieu nodded. There was a look of satisfaction on his face. Tham Ngoc Dao was also present. Sit in the ladies' row. When you see me. The corners of her lips curled slightly. The taste is difficult to fathom. The Queen Mother also came tonight. People's spirits are not very good. But still personally attended. The person sitting in the highest position. Place a cup of green tea in front of you. Don't look at anyone. After three weeks of alcohol. Queen Trieu suddenly spoke up.
"Today is Mid-Autumn Festival."
"It's an opportunity for the whole family to reunite."
"This palace has a funny story."
"Wanted to tell you guys."
She pulled Phuong Uyen Nhu up.
"Miss Phuong of the Marquis of Dinh An Palace."
"Outstanding appearance."
"Understand etiquette."
"Coming to the exam book again."
"Even His Majesty once praised her as a good lady."
"This palace has an idea."
"Marry her to the Ninth Prince to become a Concubine."
This sentence just ended. The atmosphere in the hall immediately changed. Everyone looked towards me. Queen Trieu right at the Mid-Autumn Festival. In front of everyone. Wanting to put a woman from the Trieu family next to Song Hanh. Also Trac Phi. If Tong Hanh refuses. That is embarrassing Queen Trieu. Tearing your face right on an occasion like this. The Emperor certainly wouldn't fun. If Tong Hanh agrees. Phuong Uyen Nhu will enter the Orchid garden. Become a nail that Queen Trieu sticks next to us. Phuong Uyen Nhu bowed her head. Face flushed. Looks "shy." Well acted. Tong Duc raised his wine cup. The corners of the lips carry a smile. Eyes looking at me. Full of satisfaction. All the guests in the hall. Everyone is waiting for my response. I stood up.
"Favored by the Queen."
"I thank you on behalf of Your Highness."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. I think I have accepted it. I haven't finished speaking yet.
"My concubine has a matter."
"I want to ask for clarification on behalf of His Highness."
The smile on Queen Trieu's face stopped for a moment.
"Miss Phuong is the queen of Dinh An palace."
"Noble status."
"It's just that I don't understand."
"The last time I went to Lan Vien."
"Miss Phuong once said something..."
'I have long admired His Highness the Ninth.'
"The Ninth Prince has not stepped out of Lan Vien for thirteen years."
"Nor have I ever interacted with the ladies in the capital."
"So the word..."
"Miss Phuong's."
"Where to start?"
Phuong Uyen Nhu's face immediately turned pale.
"If Miss Phuong truly admires your highness."
"Of course my concubine will do it."
"But if you listen to someone's instructions."
"Being pushed out to be cannon fodder."
"Then I have no choice but to verify it clearly on behalf of Your Highness."
I took out an item from my sleeve. It's an envelope.
