Chapter 3 — Once reborn, I will no longer marry the wrong person

She looked at me for a long time. Suddenly burst out laughing. That smile. Doesn't reach the bottom of the eye at all.

"Your tongue is getting sharper and sharper."

"But have you ever thought about it?"

"If you refuse the Eighth Prince..."

"All over this capital..."

"Who else dares to marry you?"

Previous life. I've never thought about that issue. But this life. Right from the moment I woke up. I have the answer.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother."

"Goddess heard..."

"The tenth prince has not yet established a concubine."

The smile on the Queen Mother's face immediately stiffened. Ten prince Ly Thua Quan. In the whole capital. Is a character that has almost no feeling of existence. His mother was just a palace maid who died early. There are no external forces behind it. In the palace. He lives quietly like a weed that no one bothers to water. Since childhood, he rarely spoke. When other princes rode horses and shot arrows in Ngu Hoa Garden. He was just holding a book. Quietly sitting in a corner. So quiet that it seemed non-existent. After adulthood. He went to the palace and established a palace. Living in a remote palace east of the capital. Closed all day and rarely receives customers. Even court meetings are rarely attended. In the capital. There is pitifully little talk about him. Occasionally someone mentions it. Just one sentence:

"Ah... Your Highness Ten."

"It's that bookworm."

Previous life. I have almost no impression of this Tenth Prince. He was like a tiny dot of ink on a royal brocade painting. No one bothered to glance again. Until after I die. The soul wandered in the palace for three days. Saw a lot of things that I had never seen before when I was alive. We really pay attention to that person. Those things are no longer important. The most important thing is... He is the only prince. Not under the control of the Queen Mother and the Eighth Prince. Silence. His obscurity. Right now. It became the most suitable choice for me. The Queen Mother was silent for a long time.

"Ten princes?"

She sounded like she had just heard a name that was completely unworthy of consideration.

"Tham Uan Ninh."

"You are the eldest daughter of the Tham palace."

"Your father is General Tran Quoc."

"Your mother comes from Thanh Ha Thoi town."

"You want to marry..."

"How is a prince born from a palace maid?"

I bowed my head slightly. The tone is still extremely respectful. But no concessions.

"Didn't the Queen Mother say that just now?"

"If the goddess refuses the Eighth Prince..."

"Will no one dare to marry the goddess anymore?"

"Ten princes..."

"No matter what, he's still a prince."

"The goddess married him."

"It's not enough to lose the face of the Tham family."

The Queen Mother's finger lightly tapped twice on the tea table. That's her habit every time she gets angry. But she is the Queen Mother. No matter how angry you are in your heart, you cannot openly attack a goddess who refuses marriage. What's more... That goddess has the last name Tham. His father held 200,000 soldiers and horses to guard the northern border.

"Marriage is a big deal..."

"It's not something a lady like you can decide on her own."

Finally, the Queen Mother just leisurely said:

"Go ask your parents first."

"Goddess will ask."

I bowed my head and replied:

"But the goddess's mind..."

"It won't change."

Leave Tu An Palace. Fit step up to the palace. I encountered Ly Thua Trach. He must have just heard the news because he rushed over. The court clothes on his body had not yet been changed. Stride quickly toward me. Behind him were two eunuchs following him. Just saw me. A gentle smile immediately appeared on his face. Warm enough. Like the spring breeze in March. In my previous life... I drowned in that smile.

"Uan Ninh."

He called out my name. The voice is low and gentle.

"The Queen Mother summoned her to the palace..."

"Is it about us?"

Our story. Those four words. He said it so naturally. It was as if the two had been engaged for a long time. But in reality. He never asked me. Are you satisfied or not? After he publicly proposed marriage in the royal court. The whole capital automatically considered me the future Eighth Princess. He doesn't need to ask. Because in his eyes. No one will refuse a prince's marriage proposal. Especially a newly emerging government thanks to military achievements like the Tham family's government. Can become friends with the royal family. It is a blessing that so many people seek but still cannot get.

"Your Highness Eighth."

We have formal rituals. Take another step back. Actively stretch the distance between two people.

"Indeed, the Queen Mother has summoned her to the palace to advise her of a few things."

"It has nothing to do with His Highness."

The smile on his face stopped for a moment. But very fast. Has returned to the way it was.

"Why is it not related to this king?"

"This king personally proposed to marry her in front of the civil and military officials."

He took a step forward.
