Chapter 6 — Right at the wedding ceremony, I broke up the engagement, then chose to marry the young General

I stand outside the prison door.

"It's not me who won."

"It's you who sow and you will reap."

Lieu Phat Y stared at me.

"Someone like you, born with everything, how can you understand me?"

I nodded.

"Yes, I don't understand."

"I don't understand why you think that because you're so pitiful, you can harm others."

"I don't understand why if you want to climb high, you have to step on innocent people."

"I also don't understand why someone who clearly has arms and legs still wants to use so-called suffering to justify harming people."

The smile on Lieu Phat Y's face gradually disappeared. I look at her.

"You are not defeated by me."

"It's about losing to your own greed."

She was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked:

"Where is Bui Canh Tu?"

"I'm about to be exiled."

Lieu Phat Y was stunned. Immediately after that, she burst out laughing. Laughed forever... Then burst into tears again.

"Didn't he once say he loved me?"

I turned around and left. Behind her, her hoarse cry was heard. I never turned back. In my previous life, when I cried in the middle of a storm... No one looked back. The date of marriage is set for October 8. This time, there will be no more women coming to kiss. There are also no more antics that cause chaos in the hallway. There are only lanterns hanging throughout the yard. And the music is pleasant. When Ta Nghien Chu came to pick up the bride, he wore a red dress. On weekdays, he always wears black armor, cold as a spear in the middle of a snowy night. But today, the red color made his face become much gentler. Even when I'm not smiling, it's like I'm hiding a spring breeze. Behind me, Thanh Vu said in a low voice:

"Your Highness, the General's ears are red."

I smile under the veil.

"Every day he doesn't turn red."

Ta Nghien Chu's footsteps stopped. Thanh Vu immediately closed his mouth. He helped me onto the palanquin. His hands are very steady. In my previous life, when I married Bui Canh Tu, my mind was full of worries. I'm afraid he won't like my strong personality. I'm afraid he'll criticize me for being too much of a princess. I'm afraid he thinks I'm not gentle enough. And now, sitting in the flower palanquin... I suddenly understand. A truly good marriage... Shouldn't make people afraid even before they step through the door. The float stopped in front of the General's palace gate. Ta Nghien Chu held my hand and walked through the coal pot. The official's voice was low but clear.

"First worship of heaven and earth."

"Second bow high street."

"Husband and wife worship."

We bow together to worship. Under the red veil falling in front of my eyes, I heard him softly whisper a sentence.

"I finally got to marry her."

My heart suddenly beat strongly. In the new room, candles burned quietly. I sat on the edge of the bed. Ta Nghien Chu stood 3 steps away from me, seriously as if waiting for military orders. I couldn't help but laugh.

"General, aren't you going to lift your veil?"

His throat moved slightly.

"Okay?"

I deliberately sighed.

"If you ask me any more, I'll be impatient for you."

Only then did he step closer. The scale gently lifted the veil. The moment their four eyes looked at each other, his breath slightly stopped. I look at him.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

He was serious as if he was reporting military intelligence.

"How does it compare to the moon at the border?"

"Cold moon."

"She is brilliant."

Originally I just wanted to tease him little. Unexpectedly, one of his words made my cheeks hot. There is a suitable wine on the table. In his previous life, when drinking this cup of wine with Bui Canh Tu, in his sleeve he also hid the scented bag given by Lieu Phat Y. In this life, Ta Nghien Chu raised the cup of wine and gave it to me. His fingertips trembled slightly. I suddenly asked:

"Ta Nghien Chu, when did you like me?"

He was silent for a moment, then took out a wooden vase from his chest. There was still an old crack on the surface of the vase, but he had polished it smooth.

"Since the year you gave it to me."

I remember softly. I was 7 years old that year. He is 9 years old. I stuffed the fallen and cracked vase into his hand.

"Ta Nghien Chu, you must be safe from now on."

He took it. There are people who have cherished the gift that I conveniently gave them for so many years. On the third day after getting married, Hoai Vuong rebelled. Sure enough, his first target was the warehouse in the southwest. The fire in the empty warehouse burned all night long. More than half of the rebel vanguard died.
