Chapter 2 — Phu Chan

Haven't waited for me to speak up yet. The Crown Prince's cold voice rang out from behind the crowd. "The things you have given me have never been taken back." Everyone immediately moved aside, making way for a path. Crown Prince Luc Bac Uyen stood with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy. He coldly glanced at me. The voice was filled with contempt and disgust. "How can someone like you who is greedy for fame and fortune be worthy of being my Crown Princess?" "I would rather marry an eighty-year-old woman, but absolutely not marry a woman like you." As soon as the words ended, there was silence everywhere. The ladies' eyes looking at me were filled with nothing but pity. It's like I've become an outcast from the Crown Prince, and will definitely be alone for the rest of my life. Tuyen Khanh Khanh was kneeling on the ground and was personally helped up by the Crown Prince. Her shoulders were still shaking slightly. It looked like he had just suffered a terrible injustice. But we see it again. Hidden under her drooping eyelashes flashed a ray of pride. I couldn't help but curl the corners of my lips slightly. Then, under everyone's attentive gaze. I leisurely took the purple wooden box from the maid's hand. "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you're worried." I smiled faintly. "I have never thought about marrying you." I opened the box and took out the bright yellow holy decree inside. "Because, this goddess already had an engagement contract." Luc Bac Uyen's face immediately became extremely unsightly as she stared at the bright yellow holy decree in my hand, frowning slightly, her lips raised. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything. The ladies around also started to chat. "Miss Ta, when did you decide to get married?" "I have never heard of any young master in the capital getting married." "Could it be that it was just a temporary fabrication?" "Who knows, after all, the matter has been exposed, she still has to find an excuse to get off the ladder." The sound of discussion continued incessantly. I still stood there calmly, letting them investigate as much as I could. The first person to regain composure was the Queen. He stood up, his eyes fell on the holy decree in my hand, perhaps because he had just heard the ladies' gossip, he looked at me with extremely complicated eyes. "Phu Chan, this palace knows that today's events have caused you a lot of pain." He sighed softly, his voice full of kindness. "Young man, it is difficult to avoid being impulsive. If you just casually find a reason to ask His Majesty for a hand in marriage because of a moment of anger, then there is really no need." "This palace has always loved me." Son, the Ta family has a strict family style, the house is clean and upright, before you were just thinking about it for a while, this palace understands." As he spoke, he took a step forward and gently patted the back of my hand. "Don't worry, the Crown Prince's side will advise, and there is still no one more suitable for the position of Crown Princess than you."My father holds the position of Minister of the Ministry. The Patriarch was a veteran of two dynasties, and after his death, he also inherited the Thai Temple. My maternal family is the leading family in Jiangnan. Such a powerful support. How can the Queen let go so easily? It means using this method to give us a step down. It would be more accurate to say that you are unwilling to give up the power of my grandmother's family. I was about to explain when Tuyen Khanh Khanh, next to me, interrupted me first. Her eyes were filled with tears, her voice was as weak as a breeze. "Your Majesty, women only have mediocre looks, they shouldn't hold on to vain dreams, it's all the women's fault." Having finished speaking, she turned to me, knelt down, crawled two steps, then grabbed the hem of my dress. "Miss, it's all Khanh Khanh's fault, as long as you're willing to forgive, even if you have to follow someone who is a slave. Khanh Khanh also agreed, only asking for the young lady

Let Khanh Khanh stay by His Highness the Crown Prince's side to atone for his sins." She said it very sincerely, tears kept falling, making Luc Bac Uyen extremely heartbroken. He strode forward and hugged Tuyen Khanh Khanh in his arms, looking at me with eyes as cold as ice. "Ta Phu Chan, don't let the water get to you, Khanh Khanh has endured enough, what more do you want?" He bowed his head to look at Tuyen Khanh Khanh in his heart. heart, her eyes immediately softened. "Khanh Khanh, don't be afraid, in my heart there is only you. I don't need a concubine or anything else, I only need you." "As for you, Ta Phu Chan, in honor of your father and elder brother, I can welcome you into the Eastern palace and give you the dignity you should have." "As for the decree in your hand, I will personally ask my father to cancel it, I only hope that in the future you will know how to keep your duty, after entering the Eastern palace." In the palace, everything must not exceed Khanh Khanh." Luc Bac Uyen's tone was high and noble, as if granting me a great favor. I slowly opened the holy decree, letting each line of words on it clearly appear before everyone's eyes. "The holy decree of the four marriages of this goddess was determined by the first emperor when he was still alive." "The person the first emperor bestowed on this goddess was the seventh son of the first emperor, Tuyen Vuong Luc Van Hac." I raised my head. Just in time. facing Luc Bac Uyen's stiff face in the blink of an eye. "Your Highness, considering your position, you should call me royal judge." The entire Ngu Hoa garden fell into a silence. Even the usual gentle smile on the Queen's face stiffened. At that moment, I calmly looked around and slowly spoke. "By the way, I have something I don't understand and would like to ask you guys." "For half a year, I have been staying at my grandmother's house in Giang." Nam, just returned to the capital a few days ago, in total we only met the Crown Prince twice at the palace banquet, and never said a word to each other." "And yet for some reason, rumors appeared in the capital that this maid and the Crown Prince had long planned to spend their lives together."
