Chapter 1 — The Eastern Palace Collapses After Yen Thuong Hoa

The Queen held a banquet to reward flowers, intending to choose me as the Crown Princess. But I got drunk right at the banquet. When I woke up, next to me was lying a man with a full beard and beard. In front of everyone's eyes, I was caught cheating in bed. I was just about to open my mouth to explain when I suddenly saw black lines of letters appearing in mid-air. 【I'm dying of laughter, the cruel woman actually thought she was lost.】 【Our precious female lead was just joking, she didn't want the male lead to get married so early. She still hasn't thought clearly about who she likes.】 【Furthermore, the female protagonist also disguises herself as a man to go into battle, not really letting the female lead lose her relationship with other men. That's enough kindness.】 The anger in my heart flared up. I immediately sat up and tore the clothes of the person next to me. Inside revealed a beautiful pink peony embroidered apron. "I have an affair, so who is it with?" "Can she do it?"01 "Ah!" The woman on the bed did not expect me to attack directly. Without having time to prepare, her bright red bib and white skin were immediately exposed to everyone's eyes. She immediately screamed and quickly hugged her body. Then he frantically pulled the brocade blanket next to him to cover himself. But this scream completely revealed the fact that she was a woman. The whole room was silent, you could hear a pin drop. The ladies just now were full of contempt, constantly calling for me to be locked in a pig cage and drowned in water, now they are all like chickens and ducks being strangled. Everyone gasped, but couldn't make a sound. The Queen's face turned from pale to surprised. Her expression was indescribable, like she had just swallowed a fly and couldn't spit it out, but couldn't even swallow it. But it's not over yet. I leaned closer and pressed her directly onto the bed. Despite the woman's struggles, I stripped off all the disguise on her face, from her beard, her old fake scar, to her rough, messy hair. Finally, a face that most people here were familiar with appeared. The sole daughter of the Imperial Household Bureau, the Queen's niece, Tham Thanh Ha. It's also the good sister who is "a young child and a mother, with two innocent children" in the rumors of His Highness the Crown Prince. The ladies' faces immediately changed. Originally, being cheated on as the future Crown Princess was already stimulating enough. Who would have thought that now it would be discovered that the cheating wife was the Crown Prince's childhood friend. The inner turmoil really makes people unable to help but think a lot. 【No, how dare she do that to our precious heroine?】 【This woman is truly cruel, does she want to destroy the innocence of our precious heroine?】 【Hello? Didn't your female lead strike first, wanting to destroy the female lead's innocence?】 【There's a reason for everything you do, baby! She just doesn't want the Crown Prince to get married so quickly! She hasn't determined her intentions yet!】 She hasn't determined her intentions yet. I stared at that line of words, almost angered to the point of laughing. If she hasn't yet determined her intentions, she can disguise herself as a "man" and lie next to me, making the whole capital think that I have lost my virginity? Destroying my integrity just to delay the Crown Prince getting married? What is this logic? “What is the meaning of this story?” The Queen finally found her voice. She slammed her hand on the table, causing the tea cups to vibrate. "Thanh Ha, why are you here?" "Didn't you say that today you are sick in bed and can't go to the palace to attend the banquet?"

Are you like this?" My eyes turned cold. Yes, a person who shouldn't appear here, why did he appear? 02 Today was a flower-giving banquet organized by the Queen. The whole garden was filled with spring colors, thousands of roses and purples blooming. I sat next to the Queen, listening to her gently talk to me, every word never leaving the Crown Prince's side. She also said that all the peonies in the garden were found by the Crown Prince. Just for me. I love peonies. I shyly followed the Queen's words, but in my heart I understood very well that three parts of her kindness were because she really liked me, and the remaining seven parts were because she wanted to attract the current Prime Minister, Tong Hoai, who was a disciple of my father. If she wanted to hold the position of the Eastern Palace, it was obvious that the Queen also understood This reason. Today's flower reception, on the surface, is for me and the Crown Prince to spend more time together, fostering our relationship. I have no dissatisfaction with the Crown Prince. His appearance is gentle and elegant. Today, he is always by my side, drinking flowers for me, speaking thoughtfully, and behaving properly. If we get married, he will be a good husband The Queen regretfully mentioned that Tham Thanh Ha was sick and couldn't attend the banquet today. I even asked her a question. The Queen waved her hand, with a somewhat absent-minded smile. "The palace has sent someone to visit, saying that it's just an accidental cold infection, two days of rest will cure it." "Van Duong doesn't need to worry, you just need to be with the Crown Prince and have a nice chat." At that time, I didn't think much. Tham Thanh Ha was the Queen's niece, and her childhood friend The whole court knew about this. She was very loved by the Queen, and it was normal for the Queen to be worried. Even if the Queen later gave her the grace to become the Crown Prince's concubine, I didn't care too much. So I felt comfortable sharing flowers, drinking tea, and talking politely. The Crown Prince was indeed a thoughtful person. Seeing me look at the black peony tree a few more times, he immediately sent the eunuch to find someone He came to ask me how to take care of the flowers. Seeing my steps slow down, he knew I needed to rest. Then he led me back to my seat. Seeing me frowning at the cup of wine, he said in a soft voice: "If Miss Tong's tolerance for alcohol is not good, it's okay to drink half a cup, no need to force it." I said thank you, then finished the cup of wine. Then, my consciousness was like a broken kite, fluttering down in my ears Someone loudly shouted words like "disgraceful" and "humiliating the family". I tried to open my eyes and saw the pale faces of the Queen and her ladies full of anger behind her. Next to me was a "man" wearing a man's robe, his face covered with black beard Tham Thanh Ha's womanhood. As for her reputation, will it be damaged or not... I just took your religion back to you. At this time, Tham Thanh Ha was curled up in the brocade blanket, crying until she cried. "Auntie, I... I don't know..." The Queen stared at Tham Thanh Ha, her voice suddenly raised. "This palace is asking you, why do you have to pretend to be like this, lying in the room?" This?” Tham Thanh Ha curled up in the brocade blanket, tears continuously falling. Her face was small

crying until she turned red, looking truly pitiful. "Auntie, I don't know, I really don't know. Just when I woke up, I was here, my head hurts so much, I can't remember anything..." Having said that, she suddenly raised her head to look at me, her eyes carrying a bit of self-pity and blame. "Miss Tong, you and I have no resentment or enmity, why did you take off my clothes?" "You... aren't you destroying my integrity?" raised eyebrows. As expected of someone who is called a "treasure heroine" in black letters. This ability to change white to black has truly reached the realm of pure fire. It's clear that she was lying next to me as a woman pretending to be a man, but now it turns out that I intentionally ruined her innocence? "Miss Shen is joking." I looked cold and spoke in a low voice: "Just now, there were so many ladies rushing in, constantly saying that I had an affair with someone else in the room. If I hadn't publicly verified your identity, the person whose innocence would have been ruined right now would be me." "I was just protecting myself. If Miss Tham feels sorry. Dear, why should I ask the Queen to judge? Why did a person who was in a 'comatose' take the initiative to hug my waist and press his face against my chest?" The palace immediately fell silent. Tham Thanh Ha's face turned pale. "You... you're talking nonsense!" Her voice also changed. "When did I hug you?" I tilted my head slightly, looking towards the ladies standing outside the door. "Just now when the ladies rushed in, didn't they all see it with their own eyes? Was Miss Tham's hand on my waist, her face still close to here?" I dared to say so because I felt her movements. Just now, although my consciousness was vague, the situation was chaotic. But when I remember carefully, Tham Thanh Ha indeed intentionally acted disrespectfully. The ladies looked at each other. An older lady hesitantly spoke up: "Indeed... it really seemed like there was movement." Tham Thanh Ha's face turned from white to blue. "I don't..." She opened her mouth, then closed it again, tears flowing even more intensely. "Auntie, I really don't remember anything, I was planned!"【I really can't stand it anymore. What's the point of this cruel female supporting character being so aggressive and scaring people? Do you want to force our precious female protagonist to die?】 【Can you be a little more shameless? If the woman doesn't counterattack in time, the person whose reputation will be ruined right now will be her. What's wrong with her counterattacking?】 【The woman hasn't been harmed in any way, she's won the right and still refuses to let people go, it's disgusting.】 【That's right. According to the plot, after the woman wakes up and is caught cheating, she will immediately faint. After that, the matter is done, the marriage with the Crown Prince is postponed, the male lead and the female lead will have more time to love. Is the woman doing this now to force the Crown Prince to marry her?】 Force the Crown Prince to marry me? Ha! Now even if the Crown Prince begs me to marry him, I will absolutely not marry him! I stood there coldly, waiting for the Queen to speak and give me an explanation. The Queen rubbed her forehead, clearly having an extreme headache. She looked at her granddaughter who was crying until she cried, then looked at me standing next to her with an expressionless expression. After a long while, she said: "Thanh Ha, tell this palace, today you clearly called in sick at home, why did you come to the palace disguised as a man?" Tham Thanh Ha sobbed, still looking for an excuse for herself. "I... I heard that the Crown Prince brother was present at the banquet today. Thinking that he has been busy with official matters recently, I wanted to pretend to be a little eunuch to make him happy." Even she herself doesn't have any strength. when giving this excuse. How does her appearance half resemble a palace eunuch? The Queen's face became even more unsightly.
