Chapter 13 — She pretended to be pitiful, she pretended to be innocent

“Tham Tri Y!” He was so angry that the blue veins on his forehead twitched repeatedly, shouting at her and asking if she intended to burn down the entire royal palace.

I held up the charred "cake" in my hand, trying to argue that although the appearance was a bit bad, the intention was still perfect. Before I finished speaking, he bowed his head and stopped my mouth. When the kiss ended, I was still in a daze when I heard him say in a low voice that from now on, I was not allowed to go into the kitchen anymore. So how should I express my feelings to the king? I blinked and asked. He picked me up and strode towards the bedroom: "This king will teach you." On the night of That Tich, I pulled Tieu Canh Hanh secretly out of the palace to visit the lantern festival.

“Your Majesty, try this.” I gave him a skewer of gourd candy.

He frowned: "Sweet."

“Just one bite~”

Tieu Canh Hanh reluctantly took a bite, then suddenly pulled me into the dark alley, bent down and handed back the candy. The sweet and sour taste melted between his lips and teeth, he said hoarsely: "Try it better this way." I blushed and pushed him away: "Tieu Canh Hanh! This is outside!"

“Then go back to the palace.”

While playing around, suddenly a shrill scream rang out —

"Help! Someone picked flowers!"

We turned our heads at the same time, only to see a masked man holding a lady, running deep into the end of the alley. Tieu Canh Hanh's eyes turned cold, he conveniently plucked a leaf and threw it out. The leaf was as thin as a blade, accurately cutting off the guy's belt. The moment his pants fell down, the flower picker fell over, face down on the ground. I clapped my hands: "Your Majesty's skills are so powerful!" He calmly hugged my waist: "Let's go, ma'am."

“Aren't you going to escort government officials?”

“My pants are down, I can't run away.”

On the day the hot vein was diagnosed, Tieu Canh Hanh was practicing swordplay. As soon as the royal doctor finished saying "congratulations", he heard a "crack" sound - the sword in Tieu Canh Hanh's hand was broken by him.

"Really?" His voice was tense.

The doctor was so scared that he was trembling, and hastily confirmed that it was completely correct. The next second, he picked me up and turned me around three times before putting me down.

"Tieu Canh Hanh! I'm dizzy!" I cried out.

He hurriedly put me back on the bed, his frantic appearance was completely different from the usual decisive killing King Tinh.

"Do you want a drink? Are you hungry? Are you cold?"

I was both amused and helpless: "Your Majesty, please calm down." He stared at my stomach like he saw a great enemy: "From today onwards, don't run, don't jump, don't..."

“Not your head!” I kicked him, "I want to drink sour apricot soup!"

His Royal Highness King Tinh, who had always spoken incomparably, immediately ran into the kitchen to personally supervise. The night I went into labor, I was in so much pain that I cried.

"Tieu Canh Hanh! It's all your fault!"

The king stood next to the bed, despite being beaten and scolded, he only replied each word: "Yes, it's my fault."

“What if the child is like you and so hateful!”

“Then throw it away.”

The midwife trembled: "V... prince..." Tieu Canh Hanh coldly glanced over: "Hold it." Finally, a cry rang out.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! It's the little prince!"

Tieu Canh Hanh didn't even bother to look at the baby, he just held my hand tightly: "It's been hard." I weakly asked: who does the baby look like? Only then did he glance over: "Ugly, like you." How can I live like this! At the little prince's full-month banquet, both civil and martial arts prevailed come to congratulate. I hugged my child and hid behind the screen to rest, when I suddenly heard a few ladies whispering. Some people say that King Tinh is now truly a filial husband of twenty-four. It is said that even the water used to wash the feet of the king's wife personally tests the temperature. I suppressed my laughter until my whole body trembled, and suddenly someone hugged me from behind.

“Do you hear enough?” Tieu Canh Hanh leaned close to my ear.

I turned around and put the baby in his arms: "Your Majesty, they say you are afraid of your wife." He calmly took the child: "Yes."

“That's all, no objections?”

Tieu Canh Hanh bowed his head and gently kissed my forehead: "There is no need to refute the truth." Sunlight penetrates through the window bars and falls on our clasped hands. A peaceful life, that's all it takes. (Completed side story)
