Chapter 2 — The Bridegroom Stays In Law

"I didn't call him by name. The prince accepted it himself, so how can he blame me?" After saying that, I didn't bother to look at his face, turned around and left. 04 Returning to the palace, my parents heard that I publicly refused the marriage and were a bit surprised, but did not blame them. My father gently said: "In the end, marriage still has to satisfy Lang Suong of our family." "If you don't like An Vuong, that's fine. I will find someone else for you." The bridge of my nose stung, and countless emotions swirled in my heart. In my previous life, after I married into An Vuong Palace, I understood. The power of Tran Quoc Cong Phu, a family of martial generals, has reached its peak. Your Majesty's proposal is actually a test. As soon as I agreed to the marriage, my father took the initiative to hand over his military talisman. After that, he accepted a leisurely official position and stayed at home to recuperate. Half of my life's glory has been withdrawn, just to keep me safe. From then on, Tran Quoc Cong Palace gradually declined. Seeing my eyes red, my father immediately asked: "Why are you crying? Did An Vuong bully you in the main hall today?" I wiped my tears, my voice choked: "No. I just feel that both of my parents are very good, I can't bear to leave them both." He immediately relaxed his eyebrows, patted his chest and smiled and said: "If you don't leave, don't leave! In a few days, it's your cousin's ceremony, I've already chosen ten good men for you to see." eyes." "These people were all carefully selected by dad, secretly observed for at least three years. Regardless of character, temperament, appearance or talent, they are all the top choices." I was surprised: "Watching for three years? Did your parents worry about your marriage from this early?" "How early? We are the only daughter, of course we have to help you check from a young age." I was touched when I heard this, my nose pricked. I also made a decision in my heart. "Okay, then I won't get married anymore. I will stay with my parents for the rest of my life."05 On the day of my cousin's wedding ceremony, there were many guests attending. Because I once refused to marry in front of His Majesty, a few noble ladies in the capital openly and secretly mocked me. "If you have blind eyes, you deserve to miss out on the glory and wealth falling from the sky." "The daughter of a military general only has that little vision, and doesn't understand what royal grace is." I don't want to pay attention to these talkative people. I didn't expect my sister to suddenly block my face. She sternly shouted: "Today is my elder brother's wedding ceremony. I invited you all to congratulate him on his growth, to review the friendship between the families, not for you to gather and speak ill of others." "Marriage is each person's personal wish. Even the saint did not blame my younger sister a single word, and personally made her the district head of Minh An." "You all stand here and comment, do you not consider His Majesty's decision?" What?” Sister Bieu is a famous talented woman in the capital, her words and demeanor have always earned people's respect. As soon as she finished speaking, the faces of the people who were gossiping immediately changed and quickly dispersed. Waiting for everyone to leave, my sister glared at me. "Isn't your tongue usually very quick? Today you're mute?" I chuckled: "Why do I have to waste my energy on those people? Scolding them is just a waste of my tongue." My sister was stunned, surprised at my change. "You're really thinking about it." She was about to continue, but there was a prolonged call of names outside. The Crown Prince and An Vuong have arrived. My brother led us out to welcome us through the flower gate. Down the hallway, there are two men with completely different temperaments standing. Both of their eyes looked towards their sister at the same time. The Crown Prince only looked for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, smiled and gave his cousin an inkstone. "Thu Nguyet, congratulations to you. A small inkstone is a bit of sincerity." My brother respectfully bowed.

say thanks. Tieu Canh An, standing next to him, also brought out a brocade box to take with him. Not long after, he ordered someone to carry a large chest. The chest had just been opened, inside were all jewelry and supplements for women. My cousin was surprised: "His Royal Highness An Vuong, are these things also given to me?" "No. These things my king wants to give to someone else." My cousin's eyes flashed towards me, with a bit of teasing: "I have long heard that your cousin refused to marry in front of Your Majesty, but now it seems that not really..." My heart sank. The boss misunderstood. Tieu Canh An quickly said: "Isn't it given to her? Does she deserve it?" The smile on his cousin's face immediately stiffened. Tieu Canh An looked at his cousin, with a bit of anxiety in his voice. "These gifts were given to Miss Van by the king, I hope Miss Van accepts them." The gentle smile on the prince's face immediately disappeared. My sister also frowned: "I and Your Highness An Vuong are not acquainted, I do not dare to accept your highness's great gift. Please take it back." "Furthermore, my sister is the daughter of Tran Quoc duchy, the district head of Minh An personally ordained by Your Majesty. She deserves to have any treasure." Tieu Canh An was stunned, immediately panicked: "Thu Nguyet, I did not mean that."
