Chapter 5 — The day after the wedding, he had to kneel and call me Queen

In the end, she could only put the last ray of hope on him, her voice carrying a choked sob.

"Niang... my father... my father is not feeling well today, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I'll dirty your eyes..."

"Oh? Are you not feeling well?"

I slightly raised my eyebrows, put down the wine cup, the smile on my face gradually faded.

“That's right, Lady Hou now has a noble status, of course it's no longer the same as before.

"This palace forgot again, you are no longer the concubine of the Prime Minister's palace who has to rely on a dance to seek your future."

“It seems that this palace has made things difficult for others.”

My voice is not loud. However, it made the atmosphere in the entire main hall seem to drop a bit. The people present here are all observant people. Who can't hear the tapping, warning and discontent in every word I say? Hien Phi immediately stepped forward to make peace.

“Your highness is exaggerating. Being able to offer dance in front of the lady is a blessing for Lady Hou."

“Lady Hou was probably just temporarily stressed.”

As she spoke, she looked towards Tham Vi, with a hint of warning in her eyes. Tham Vi could not advance, nor retreat, her forehead was covered with drops of cold sweat. Or not dance? If she dances, Lady Vu An Hau's dignity will be lost. After this, among the noble ladies in the capital, she will never be able to raise her head again. If you don't dance, it will be openly going against the Queen's will, causing the palace to lose face in front of everyone. She couldn't bear the consequences. Just as she was about to collapse, a report from the inner house rang out outside the palace.

“—— Marquis of Vu An Co Yen Thanh asked to see the Queen ——”

Co Yen Thanh is here. Perhaps while waiting outside, he heard movement inside. Not at ease because of the person in his heart, he specially ran over to relieve her. I didn't feel surprised at all. I faintly uttered a word. Co Yen Thanh strode in. First, he formally bowed to me. Then he stood up, his eyes immediately fell on Tham Vi. As soon as he saw her tears threatening to flow, his eyebrows immediately furrowed.

“I would like to see you, Your Highness.”

He turned to look at me, his voice was calm, but contained a request that was difficult to detect.

"My inner servant... since childhood, my body has been weak. Today I have to get up early to go to the palace. At this time, I'm afraid my mental and physical strength will not be able to withstand it."

“If there is anything rude, I respectfully ask you to respect me and be generous enough to forgive me.”

He accepted all responsibility on his side. He thinks that he is still Co Yen Thanh and can stand on equal terms and talk to me. He thinks that between us and him there is still some "face" to talk about. How ridiculous.

“Master Marquis was joking.”

I looked at him, the corner of my lips curled up into a cold smile.

“Lady Hau is the younger sister of this palace. This palace cares about her, told her to dance a song to entertain everyone, make the atmosphere a little more exciting, so what's wrong?"

"Or is it that in the eyes of the Marquis, this palace is the Queen and I don't even have that little right to arrange it?"

A large hat just hung straight down. Co Yen Thanh's face immediately changed.

“I don't dare! Great god I don't mean that!”

He quickly bent over, lowering his posture a few more points.

“Or give me a 'don't dare'.”

I laughed coldly.

"I see that your courage is very big."

"Here is the internal banquet of the Kun Ninh palace, a treat for the ladies."

"You are an external god. You dare to barge in without even being summoned. What kind of system do you still have?"

“Where are you?”

My voice suddenly became serious. Two guards holding halberds immediately entered from outside the palace, and the sound of armor clashing rang out.

“Vu An Marquis arbitrarily broke into the harem, disregarding palace rules.”

“Pull him out for me!”

“Your highness!”

Co Yen Thanh suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with horror and disbelief. He didn't expect that I would be so cruel and not leave him any dignity. Tham Vi was also stunned and scared, blurting out:

“Sister, don't!”

The word "sister" was called by her with great sincerity. I looked at her, my eyes cold as blades.

“Insolent! Who is your sister? When you meet this palace, why don't you call yourself 'Your Highness'? Slap your mouth!”
