Chapter 4
Chapter 4 — The day after the wedding, he had to kneel and call me Queen
Finally, I put down the tea cup.
“Lady Vu An Marquis.”
I spoke, my voice was not loud, but it clearly transmitted throughout the entire main hall. Tham Vi's body suddenly trembled. I looked at her, a smile on my lips that belonged to a Queen.
“Raise your head and let me take a look.”
Tham Vi did not dare to move. Co Yen Thanh clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.
"What's up?" My voice became half cold.
"Does Mrs. Hau feel that this palace's wishes cannot be listened to?"
Tham Vi was scared to death and quickly raised her head. A face with exquisite makeup, at this moment was full of streaks of tears and fear. It's truly an appearance that makes people feel pity when they see it. I smiled softly, my tone gentle.
“This outfit of yours really fits you very well.
It seems that Marquis truly has a deep affection for you, even if he is 'not strict with rules', he will definitely marry you."
"Younger sister has the blessing today, you should really thank Marquis."
“Calm down.”
My words are like poisoned needles, piercing their hearts.
“Not being formal” is making fun of her dancer's female background.
Also laughing at Co Yen Thanh for having no eyes, because of her, she gave up a real rich man like me.
"Thank you Marquis" means she wants her to remember, everything she has comes from this man's choice.
But that choice, looking back now, how stupid it was. Co Yen Thanh's body staggered violently, almost unsteady on her knees. Tham Vi's face lost even more color. The surrounding mandarins and matrons, some bowed their heads and secretly smiled, some showed sarcasm. At this moment, they became the laughing stock of the entire capital. As for me, I am the one holding the pen to draw that joke. After the audience, as usual, the Queen had a banquet at the Khon Ninh palace to entertain her matrons. This is a war without smoke or fire. Tham Vi followed behind a group of ladies, timidly stepping into Khon Ninh palace, feeling so low that she was like a shadow. She didn't dare look at me, nor did she dare talk to anyone else, she just held the scarf tightly in her hand. At the banquet, the ladies' topics naturally revolved around me.
"If you wear this Dich robe, your ladyship will show off your skin as white and smooth as jade. You are truly a natural aura."
"That's right, only with a noble lady's temperament can one control the palace's royal ceremonies."
The flattery was like a tide that kept coming. I smiled in response to each person, my eyes seemingly unintentionally falling on Tham Vi.
“Lady Vu An Hau, why didn't you say anything?”
I spoke softly, immediately drawing everyone's attention to her. Tham Vi was startled and frightened, the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground with a "click" sound. She quickly stood up, bowed and bowed: "My lord, my father is rude, please forgive me."
“Sit down.” I waved my hand, my tone was gentle, "We're all family, no need to be so formal."
The more "gentle" I was, the more frightened she became.
"This palace heard that when I was at home, my younger sister was the best at singing and dancing. A song 'Kinh Hong' was once famous in the capital."
I just mentioned this topic, guys The sitting lady immediately showed an expression of understanding in her heart. Who doesn't know that it was through that dance that Tham Vi lost Co Yen Thanh's soul. A concubine who cannot step on the table, but relies on the tricks of the dancer to marry high. This is the background that she doesn't want others to mention the most. Tham Vi's face suddenly turned pale.
"My father... my father's appearance is ordinary, I don't dare to shame you in front of you."
“Hey, sister, there is no need to be so humble.”
I raised my glass of wine and looked at her with a smile on my face.
“Today is the palace banquet, all the ladies are present, the timing is a good opportunity.
“Or like this.”
"Sister, how about dancing a song to entertain the ladies, and also to open up this palace's eyes?"
This is an order. It is to take the position of Queen and order the wife of a mandarin to sacrifice at the palace banquet. It was a great humiliation. Tham Vi's body staggered as if about to fall. She looked for help at the surrounding ladies, but what she saw were only faces waiting to see a good show.
