Chapter 3 — Thanh Ngoc Dai Thuong

Everyone present looked over simultaneously. I also looked towards the miniature. My heart immediately sank. The sweat in the Crown Prince's palms blurred the face on the painting. The tear mole at the corner of the beauty's eye was no longer clearly visible. The queen breathed a sigh of relief. The Emperor's expression became extremely complicated. The corner of the Crown Prince's lips curled up slightly, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Father, I sincerely ask to marry Second Lady Tham. If you refuse to marry me, are you looking down on the royal family?" What a big hat! I did not give in. "The goddess has made it clear that she has someone in her heart more than once, why did the Crown Prince act as if he did not hear?" "The miniature painting has been destroyed, it cannot be proven that the person in the painting is definitely the goddess." "The goddess and the Crown Prince are not inherently compatible, and the matter of a mutual love meeting still needs to be reconsidered." I knelt with my back straight in the middle of the main hall. At this point, on the contrary, we have nothing to fear anymore. I'm betting on the Emperor's thoughts. The man who has ruled the world for more than thirty years, although he is no longer at his peak, is absolutely not a fool. Things have come to this, can the Emperor really not see anything unusual? I grasped the emperor's suspicions and slowly said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is determined to marry this goddess. In the end, is he interested in her, or is he interested in the Tham family, or... Bac Canh King, my grandmother's grandfather?" My words were full of meaning. Grandfather holds a heavy army. The Tham family is also the pillar of the royal court. If the Crown Prince marries me, it will be like a tiger growing wings. I don't believe the Emperor wouldn't be afraid of him. Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince still clung to him and did not let go, deliberately moving on to other things to mislead him. "Tham Tang, you clearly have no intention of being a lover, why do you keep insisting that you have someone in your heart? This is the crime of lese majesty!" Very good! I want to slap another crime on my head! I gritted my teeth and decided to take a risk. "Your Majesty, the person in my heart is the Marquis of Truong Ninh Palace, Bui Vien Dao!" "My Lady and him already have a physical relationship. If it wasn't not long ago that he was injured in the head and unconscious, I and him would have long discussed marriage." red!” “If it weren't for the two of us having already established our relationship, how could the goddess and Prince Bui almost go beyond the rules of etiquette? The goddess would dare to destroy her reputation like that, wouldn't that be enough to prove the relationship between the goddess and Prince Bui?” I said a series of things in one breath, leaving the Crown Prince completely without a chance to interrupt. In an instant, the whole hunting ground was in an uproar. "Second Princess Tham doesn't even need her reputation anymore, it seems that she and Prince Bui have indeed had feelings for a long time." "If that's true, isn't the Crown Prince separating a couple?" "So... who is the person in the miniature painting?" The ministers whispered in their ears. The Crown Prince's face turned extremely black. The queen frowned slightly, becoming even more nervous, and the golden hairpin in her hair also shook slightly. The Emperor's deep eyes slowly scanned each person present. At that moment, his father and brother returned from the forest on horseback. Both of them hunted several deer. Someone must have informed me in advance, my father and elder brother took one look at me and immediately understood what to do. You two have always followed me unconditionally. Even if I say that Bui Vien Dao and I have a relationship, they will still confirm it. Father knelt down and continued to weave lies with me. Because if you want a lie to not be exposed, you can only use more words

lied to cover up. "Your Majesty, this young lady indeed had mutual feelings for Tu Tu Bui." "The young lady's nickname is 'Mian Mien', with a verse that says: 'Mien Mien Tu Vien Dao'. Tu Tu Bui's name is coincidentally 'Vien Dao'. Isn't this a predestined relationship arranged by heaven?" Father completely relied on intuition to make up a story. My heart is still hanging in the balance. Bui Vien Dao, Bui Vien Dao... when the time comes, I can only let you bear the blame! Fortunately, he has been unconscious for the past few days and cannot be confronted. What's more, there really is a red birthmark on the back of his mouth. As a child, he was extremely mischievous and was sent to the Northern Region for training. One time, he was bathing on the riverbank, just when I saw everything. That scene is still imprinted in my memory. Surely I don't remember wrong. The Emperor turned to the great eunuch next to him and instructed: "Personally go to Truong Ninh palace to pay a visit, check behind Prince Bui's face. I want to see who dares to attack!" The great eunuch is the Emperor's confidant. It seems that the Emperor is determined to investigate to the end. The Crown Prince clenched his hands. He bowed his head, not daring to look behind him again. But I know clearly that he was so infatuated with her that he disregarded morality and ethics, and in the world she was the only one who caught his eye. The great eunuch immediately set out. The hunt lasted three days, the Emperor, his successor and accompanying officials all rested in the barracks. Before the grand eunuch returned, the Crown Prince found an opportunity to meet me privately. Having come to this point, he still wants to pretend to be affectionate to deceive me. "Tham Tang, you are the Crown Prince. Bui Vien Dao is still in a coma, whether he will be able to save his life or not is still unknown. Who should you choose, it must be clear in your heart." "You promised to make her the Crown Prince, and will only pamper you for the rest of your life. Why do you insist on not marrying me?" I laughed coldly.
