Chapter 8 — The Emperor Only Has One Daughter

Ly Thi Lang was both scared and happy, and immediately knelt down to thank her:

“I... will definitely not disappoint your majesty's expectations!”

While punching and rubbing, one blow disintegrated the opposition. The rest were as silent as clams, no one dared to say a word. But it's not over yet. On the outskirts of the city, several generals who held military power, with the former Tran Vien general as their head, also began to riot, raising the "thanh quan trac" flag and causing chaos. The capital city was shocked. That night, Trieu Dien hugged me and stood in front of the sand table, frowning and planning. 【Hey, what are you worried about, old man?】 I looked at the flag on the map and my mind started spinning. 【The rebels outside the city look large, but they are just random groups. The fatal weakness is food and grass.】 【Their supply route must go through a ravine called "Nhat Tuyen Thien", you sent a group of elite soldiers to ambush there, burn all the food, they were unstable for three days, they collapsed on their own.】 Trieu Dien's eyes lit up. He immediately ordered the generals to act according to my plan. Three days later, news of the victory came back. The rebel army's food and grass were burned, internal panic broke out, and there was no need to fight. The leading general was captured alive and escorted back to the capital. At this point, a riot that almost overthrew Dai Thinh was gently quelled by my father and I... oh, my women and children... gently. Inside and outside the royal court, no one dared to say a word of protest. Everyone looked at the emperor with awe and awe, sitting on a dragon chair and teasing a little girl. At this moment, they finally understood. The emperor is not only not crazy. But more alert and scary than ever. As for me, the rumored "demon girl", I have become the most mysterious existence in everyone's hearts - no one dares to tease me.

In the blink of an eye, I am three years old. Under Trieu Dien's unlimited pampering and devoted care, I grew into a lovely plump little girl, with rosy white skin, red lips and white teeth. Every line on my face is as if cast from Trieu Dien's model. Everyone who sees it must exclaim: it's truly flesh and blood. Over the past three years, Trieu Dien has treated me like a piece of jewelry that he carries with him wherever he goes. At court, I sat on a mini throne next to the dragon chair. Reviewing the chapter, I lay on his lap and drew wildly. Even when discussing political matters with the minister, I was held in his arms. The courtiers were initially frightened, then numb, and now it has become a habit. They even felt that without Princess Ninh An, Her Majesty's work performance would also decline. Of course, they don't know, that efficiency comes from... muttering in our heads. For example, right now, Trieu Dien is reading a chapter about flood control of the Yellow River, his eyebrows furrowed. I lay in his arms, holding a milk candy in my mouth, softly calling out:

“Father, hug~”

In my heart I thought: 【These useless guys are playing tricks again. Raise the dike? It's like treating the top without treating the root, a heavy rain will cause the dike to burst.】 【We must use the method of clearing the river bed, digging deep to expand the downstream, and planting more trees to protect the soil along the banks. Old man, did you forget the 《Water Sutra》 I showed you last year? It's written very clearly.] When Trieu Dien heard it, he smiled and understood. He put down his pen, gently squeezed my cheek, and gently said:

“Ninh An is very right.”

Then he picked up his pen and immediately wrote the chapter:

“Building dikes to prevent floods, only treating the top. Order the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry and Trade to discuss, take the initiative to clear the flow, and re-draft the plan."

Down there, several ministers looked at each other in bewilderment, eyes wide open. What did the princess say? Didn't you just ask for a hug? Why does the emperor understand everything? Could this be the legend of "spiritual connection"? Or does the emperor's bloodline have special powers? This kind of scene has been happening every day for the past three years. Page Nguyet Hoa Cach On the outside, I am a lovely little princess, but in reality, in the dark, I am Dai Thinh's "supreme advisor". Thanks to my "suggestion", Trieu Dien reorganized the bureaucracy, developed agriculture, reformed taxes, and reorganized the army. In just three years, Dai Thinh swept away the recession, the national treasury was abundant, the people settled down, and the national power flourished. As for me - Trieu Ninh An - even though I'm only three years old, I have become the true "Princess of Tran Quoc". My position is as stable as Thai Son. That day, the weather was beautiful and sunny. Trieu Dien took me for a walk in the royal garden. He put me on the swing, stood behind and gently pushed me. I laughed loudly, my voice as clear as a silver bell.

“Father, higher~ higher!”

Trieu Dien looked at my innocent and radiant face, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection. 【Sigh… the way of living a life of serving rice and water, with a royal father as support, is truly corrupt and depraved.】 I swayed my short legs, silently sighing. 【But I like it so much.】 【I pray that every day will be like that, nothing strange will happen again.】 The hand pushing the swing slightly stopped. Trieu Dien knows that my crow's mouth is usually as perfect as a god. He bowed his head and said in a low voice:

"Ninh An, don't worry, with your father here, no strange things... will dare to touch my princess."

His voice was very soft, but it carried the king's oath. I turned my head and smiled at him even sweeter. 【That's right.】 【You must protect me carefully, I am your only life insurance and future retirement.】 Trieu Dien laughed and shook his head. The morning sunlight shines through the leaves, falling on the figures of father and son, warm and peaceful. Behind is a country that is gradually entering a period of prosperity. But we... are the ones who created that prosperous time.
