Chapter 4 — The Crown Prince's Little Flower

No need to say anything more. I dried my tears. "Your Highness once told me, as long as I was willing, I could not be Princess An." Tieu Thua An's eyes lit up with broken rays of light. I said: "I am satisfied." "This year, next year, every year I want to celebrate the birthday with His Highness." In my previous life, because of my status, I rarely looked at him directly. Later, when I found out that he liked me, I couldn't even avoid him. During those few times we met, he also laughed many times. There is self-mockery, there is loneliness, there is bitterness, there is reluctance. This is still the first time I discovered that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is calm and composed. When he really smiles, there are a pair of small dimples on his lips. 12 At the same time, in Can Thanh Palace. Listening to the palace man adding salt and salt to the story, the emperor became angry and reprimanded Tieu Nghien Le for a long time. Tieu Nghien Le instinctively argued for himself: "I'm just joking with others..." The tea cup in the emperor's hand shattered next to Tieu Nghien Le. "That's enough! Do you think I don't know how you treat her in private?" "If it's not like that, why doesn't she want to be close to you!" Tieu Nghien Le's mind was disturbed. "It's really that woman who doesn't know how to keep herself, my son..." "No need to say more." The Emperor interrupted him, the words were not allowed to be refused, "On the Spring Festival, I will give you a kiss." "In private, I don't care how you treat her." "But in front of me, even if you pretend, you have to pretend to be in love." Tieu Nghien Le heard the two words kiss, and in his mind, the image of Lam Thanh Ha wearing a wedding dress appeared in his mind. A peach blossom petal was blown into the temple by the wind and accidentally fell in front of Tieu Nghien Le. He stared at that flower petal for a long time, suddenly remembering the scene when he first met Lam Thanh Ha. At that time, she stood under the peach tree, her body was more beautiful than peach blossoms. She saw him and seemed a little nervous. Bow your head to comfort him. A simple sentence from the third prince, His Highness Van An, was spoken by her with a long and flexible tone, hundreds of times and thousands of repetitions. Tieu Nghien Le's heart was in turmoil for a moment, but that was only that moment. "Confused!" Sure enough, like the mother-in-law said, this woman was just like her mother, not knowing how to keep herself. Even when asking for comfort, he had to be deliberately seductive. So even after he first met her, he still had such lovely dreams, it was all her fault. It was all her intention to seduce and captivate his mind. But at this moment, I heard the emperor say he wanted to give him and Lam Thanh Ha a kiss. For some reason, some anticipation arose in his heart. That's it, if she has seduced you many times, then just go with the flow and push the boat to completion. It's good to have her by your side, it will be more convenient to teach her in the future. Tieu Nghien Le convinced himself so. His mood inexplicably became happy, he bowed and bowed his head. "I obey." 13The night before the spring festival. Cong Cong To, next to the emperor, came to me and got straight to the point. "The emperor has the intention of granting marriage to the young lady and King An." "Three days later, during the Spring Festival, the emperor will give the young lady another chance." "You are a smart person, don't let the emperor disappoint you anymore." No matter how I have this face, the emperor will not do anything to me. I went to Duong Tam Palace and said that I did not want to marry King An. The Emperor couldn't control his anger. "I love you so much, not to look at you again and again, my lord." His searching eyes fell on me. "Does the position of An Vuong Phi still not satisfy your taste?" "In the end, you don't want it, or don't you know enough?" I shook my head and said softly: "Women just don't want to hold on to regrets for the rest of their lives like their mother." The Emperor was stunned, his voice unconscious.

calmed down. "Your mother, what regrets do you have?" I covered my face and wiped my tears, revealing only the eyes that were most like my mother's. "Mother's biggest regret is not being able to be with the person she loves forever." "Women are afraid, afraid that they will be like their mother, marrying someone they don't like, every time they think of the person they love, they have to wash their face with tears." I lied. Mother and father loved each other all their lives, but soon forgot the woman's name was Long Tam. Even if she remembered, if she knew that I had become a sacrifice for the emperor's obsession, she would only regret that she had met him that year. Although the lie is clumsy, it is enough that the listener believes it. The Emperor was silent for a long time. When the emperor was silent, Tieu Thua An arrived. He said he was willing to use his position as crown prince in exchange for a chance to be with me forever. The Emperor was shocked. He stared at Tieu Thua An for a long time, as if he was asking him, as if he was asking himself. "For a woman, is it worth it?" A trace of confusion appeared in the emperor's eyes, as if he were lost in some memory. "If I could also give up my power at that time, would it be..." After a long time, he sighed softly, finally softening. "Well, I will let you have your wish." 14 Three days passed in a flash.
