Chapter 7 — The Crown Prince criticized me for not being worthy of the Eastern Palace, but the Martial General held my hand and wouldn't let go

I look at her.

"If he really wanted to force him, he wouldn't just send someone to deliver a card."

I was brought three times. I refused all three times. By the fourth time, the people who came were no longer the inner city. But the Crown Prince himself. Only followed two attendants and stood in front of the General's palace gate. A Quy was so scared that her legs softened. When he ran in to report, his voice was shaking.

"Lady... Crown... Crown Prince is here... standing outside the gate..."

I put down the pen in my hand. Hoac Chieu Chieu was lying face down next to practicing writing, raised his head and asked:

"Bitch, who's coming?"

"Go back to your room first."

"Listen."

She pouted and reluctantly walked back to her room. We go to the front hospital. The Crown Prince stood in front of the stone screen. The two attendants behind stood guard outside the gate. Today he is wearing a gray-blue plain clothes. Don't wear a jade crown, just use a jade hairpin to tie your hair. As soon as he saw me, a light flashed in his eyes. He was quickly forced down.

"I invited her three times, and she refused three times."

His voice was calm.

"To be so disrespectful, it seems like she really has no fear."

"Your Highness has arrived, my father's reception is not complete."

"Your Highness, there is no need to say such polite words."

He took a step forward.

"Ngu Hoai Uyen, I've been looking for you for three years. Three years."

"What does your Highness want to find, what does it have to do with me?"

"That night of the Lantern Festival, she once said: 'Who says women are not equal to men?'"

He stared at me.

"Before taking off the mask, she turned her head and saw the jade pendant on her waist. She searched for her for three years, had dozens of portraits painted, and went to every corner of the capital..."

"And then what?"

I interrupted him.

"Then your highness found On Nhuoc Huyen. She told your highness that the person that day was her. Your highness believed it."

His face turned even whiter.

"You didn't know she was impersonating..."

"Your Highness doesn't know what kind of person I am."

I looked at him, each word rang out clearly.

"Your Highness, without even having met me, wrote a decree with the four words 'talent and virtue are not worthy of the Eastern palace', and then married me to a martial general he had never known."

"At that time, she didn't know that she was..."

"That's the problem."

We take a step back.

"Your Highness, do you think that just saying 'I don't know' is enough?"

"So what do you want me to do?"

His voice suddenly rose higher.

"You can revoke the marriage intention. There was never anything between you and Hoac Van Tranh..."

My voice is cold.

"Whether or not there is a husband and wife issue between me and the General, Your Highness doesn't bother to worry."

His hand suddenly tightened.

"Ngu Hoai Uyen, have you forgotten whose fiancee you used to be?"

"Your Highness has personally ordered me to say 'my talent and virtue are not worthy of the Eastern palace'. If I am not worthy, why are you still here today?"

He choked. After a while, he took a deep breath.

"You are wrong."

I didn't expect him to say those three words. The Crown Prince's pride did not allow him to bow his head. But this moment. He said.

"You mistakenly married her to Hoai Van Tranh, it was your fault. But now you know... you were the one that day. Hoai Uyen, go back."

"Back to where?"

"East Palace."

"With what status?"

He paused for a moment.

"Crown Princess."

"What about On Nhuoc? Huyen?"

He didn't answer. I suddenly burst out laughing.

"Your Highness, three years ago you treated me like a piece of paper and threw it away. Now I realize I threw it away by mistake and want to pick it up again. But have you ever thought..."

I looked straight into his eyes.

"That piece of paper, now no longer wants to be picked up."

An extremely complex emotion arose in his eyes. Not satisfied. And there's a flash of emotion that even we can't see through.

"She married Hoac Van Tranh to lower her own value. He doesn't deserve her."

"Whether he is worthy of me or not is not your highness's turn to decide."

I took another step back, standing right on the boundary in front of the hospital gate.

"Your Highness, please return to the palace."

He looked at me. Then turned around and left. Arriving at the gate, he paused for a moment. Don't turn around.

"Ngu Hoai Uyen, one day you will regret it."

In the days after the Crown Prince left, the General's palace was no longer peaceful. First of all, the food in the palace was secretly manipulated, the amount of rice delivered was missing three parts. Next, when Hoac Chieu Chieu went out, someone blocked her path, saying he wanted to take her to meet a certain noble person. Fortunately, I had previously told A Quy to always follow by my side and promptly stop them.
