Chapter 4 — Royal Regret

She took a look but didn't ask further. On the contrary, Tieu Thua Canh and Lieu Nhu Mi were waiting in front of the palace gate. Lieu Nhu Mi changed into a light-colored dress, her eyes were red as if she had been bullied all night. Tieu Thua Canh saw me leading Tieu Nghien, and immediately frowned. "Going to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, why are you bringing her along?" I said: "The Queen Mother wants to see me and the young master." "If the Royal Family's ears are not good, you can let the Royal Doctor take a look at it for you." His face darkened. Lieu Nhu Mi softly advised: "Sister, the Queen Mother values the royal bloodline the most. If you say the wrong thing in the palace, not even the Royal Family can protect you." I looked at her. "When did I ever need his protection?" She choked on her words. Tieu Thua Canh said coldly: "Shen Lenh Nghi, don't think that having Tong Chinh Tu means you can do whatever you want." I led Tieu Nghien into the carriage. "Your Majesty, don't worry, I keep the rules better than anyone else." The carriage went straight to the palace. The palace's gates are so vast, the red walls are so high that they can bend people's spines. Tieu Nghien sat next to me, from beginning to end without looking around. I stuffed the fireplace into his heart. "Go to Tho An palace, you will answer whatever others ask." "If someone forces you, just look at me." He replied in a low voice. Arriving at Tho An palace, the Queen Mother was sitting high up. She is over sixty, her eyes are calm, but she has a majestic look that makes people not dare to brag. Tieu Thua Canh led Lieu Nhu Mi to perform the ceremony first. Lieu Nhu Mi knelt very obediently, as soon as she opened her mouth, she choked. "The Queen Mother, I don't dare to say too much. It's just that yesterday my sister the Princess suddenly brought back a child, saying she wanted to make him an heir, even the Royal Family was completely unaware of it." "It's a big deal about the Royal Palace's bloodline, I'm afraid that my sister the Princess will suddenly be angry and break the family's rules." Every sentence she said was afraid, but every sentence nailed me into a jealous woman. Tieu Thua Canh also said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Tham acts recklessly, I don't dare to tolerate her." The Queen Mother looked at me. "Than Lenh Nghi, what do you say?" I knelt down to bow, but did not rush to explain. I presented the documents of Thanh Tinh pagoda and the list of sects. "Your Majesty, Tieu Nghien was originally an orphan of the sect's branch, his parents died early, his name is on the list." "Before bringing him to the palace, I checked the documents." "Today, presenting it to Tong Chinh Tu is following the rules." The Queen Mother received the document and slowly flipped through it. The temple was so quiet that you could hear incense ashes falling. Lieu Nhu Mi bowed her head and wiped her tears. Tieu Thua Canh stood to the side, his expression cold. The Queen Mother suddenly asked: "Why does Doan Vuong Palace suddenly want to have an heir?" I raised my eyes. "Because up to now Doan Vuong Palace still has no children." Lieu Nhu Mi's shoulders trembled. Tieu Thua Canh angrily shouted: "Shen Lenh Nghi!" The Queen Mother raised her hand. Tieu Thua Canh could only keep his mouth shut. I continued to say: "My concubine, as the main concubine, manages the palace's affairs and maintains the family's lineage." "The royal palace has had no children for many years, and the family's branch has homeless orphans." "My concubine adopts him as his adopted son, keeping the royal family's incense and fire as well as the patriotism of the family." The Queen Mother looked at Tieu Nghien. "Child, come forward." Tieu Nghien let go of my hand, walked to the middle of the palace and knelt down. "Tieu Nghien bowed. see the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother asked: "Are you willing to enter Doan Vuong Palace?" Tieu Nghien replied: "Agree." "Why agree?" He paused. "Because mother said, you will be my support." The Queen Mother's eyes moved slightly. Lieu Nhu Mi immediately cried and said: "The Queen Mother, the child is still young, I'm afraid someone has already taught him the words." I burst out laughing. The Queen Mother looked at me. "What are you smiling at?" I bowed

people. "The concubine laughed at Lieu Trac Phi." "On the one hand, she said the child was still young, on the other hand, she was afraid that a sentence from the child would ruin her calculations." Lieu Nhu Mi's face turned pale. Tieu Thua Canh's anger became even worse. But the Queen Mother did not scold me. She bowed her head again and looked at the documents. After a while, she asked: "Doan Vuong, why don't you agree?" Tieu Thua Canh said in a deep voice: "I'm still young, I may not have children in the future." The Queen Mother calmly said: "You have been married for three years, the concubine will enter the palace even sooner." One sentence was so light that Lieu Nhu Mi's crying was interrupted. I lowered my eyes. No one in the palace dared to say more. The Queen Mother closed the document. "If you are an orphan and follow the rules, there is no reason for the family to not allow it." Tieu Thua Canh suddenly raised his head. "Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother looked at him. "If you do not want Doan Vuong Palace to have an heir, then go to Tong Chinh Tu and explain clearly." "The family also wants to hear what you intend to say." Tieu Thua Canh's face stiffened. Lieu Nhu Mi's hand holding the towel was pale white. The Queen Mother gave the document to the mother next to her. "Bring it to Tong Chinh Tu." "Just say who has seen it." I bowed and bowed my head. "I thank the Queen Mother." Tieu Nghien also bowed his head. "Tieu Nghien thanked the Queen Mother."
