Chapter 17 — The Emperor swore not to let me become a concubine, but as soon as he met, he demanded to become a concubine

Her voice trembled, not daring to believe and asked:

“Brother Cheet… brother… how could you…”

Tieu Triet finally gave her a little bit of attention from the food. He gnawed on the sausage, using an extremely serious, even philosophical tone, and said to her:

“Nguyet Dao, do you know?”

“Human life in this world is only a few decades short.”

“If even eating can't make you happy.”

“So what does it mean to live a hundred years?”

"My country, I need you to protect it yourself."

“My body, I understand clearly.”

“What I need is not a housekeeper who always reminds me to 'abstain' and to 'nourish'.”

“What I need is a comrade with whom I can eat large pieces of meat, drink large sips of wine, and laugh at the wind and clouds.”

He stopped for a moment, turned his head to look at me, his eyes burning hot. In those eyes is a deep love and dependence that we have never seen before.

“And you, Tham Vi Vi, my Queen.”

“You can not only eat with me.”

“But I can also defeat ten thousand buffaloes and ten thousand goats to eat for me.”

“You can turn my Imperial Palace into my Military Base.”

“You can make my ministers be so devoted to eating a piece of rice that you make.”

"You use your own methods to make my country become more solid, more... thoughtful."

“There is only one Queen like that in the whole world.”

"Tell me, how could I not love you? How could I leave you?"

His words rang out strongly, each word as heavy as a stone thrown to the ground. Not just telling Lam Nguyet Dao. Also tell me. Tell everyone present here. I looked at him, at the man I had always thought was just a simple, greedy Emperor with a bit of love in mind. The eye sockets suddenly turned red. Turns out he understood everything. He understands my lostness. Understand my lack of attention to detail. We also understand that behind our "misleading fallacies" is the simplest love for life. Lam Nguyet Dao completely collapsed. The bowl of soup in her hand made a "clack" sound and fell to the ground, breaking. Like a heart that has been in business for more than ten years, wanting to become her Queen. She pointed at us and screamed until she almost lost control:

"You're crazy! You're all crazy!"

"An Emperor who doesn't care about politics! An unbearably vulgar Queen!"

"You will destroy Great Liang! You will definitely destroy Great Liang!"

She cried and ran away. Never turned back. In front of Duong Tam palace's door, silence was restored. Only me and Tieu Triet left, along with a giant... leg. He ate all the pieces in his hand, but still looked longingly at the rest of the food box. Then, he looked at me, a little embarrassed and smiled.

“Vi Vi, sir… were I too emotional just now?”

I looked at him and smiled too. Laughed until tears welled up. I walked over, stood on tiptoe, and used my sleeve to help him wipe the oil stains from the corner of his mouth. Then, gently said in his ear:

“Your appearance just now…”

“Bloody handsome.”

Lam Nguyet Dao is gone. The next day, the Prime Minister immediately presented the song, saying it was his daughter The old illness relapsed and needed to return to Jiangnan to recuperate. Tieu Triet performs. He also rewarded her with a lot of gold, silver and jewels, which was considered to be the final ending for her, and also for this "young childhood sweetheart" who did not get sick and died. From then on, there was no one in the harem, or even the entire Great Liang, who could challenge my position as "Queen of Gluttony". Tieu Triet and I can finally let go of any scruples and live our little days on our own. That night, Tieu Triet did not return to Duong Tam Palace again. He hugged his pillow, looking at me pitifully.

“Vi Vi, the mattress is on the ground… can I sleep again?”

I looked at his pitiful appearance, just like a giant golden hair abandoned by its owner. Couldn't help it, burst out laughing.

"Impossible."

His eyes immediately darkened. I pointed to my bed.

“But you can sleep here.”

He was stunned. Stunned for half a minute. I just realized what I meant by this statement. A second later, like a hungry wolf, he rushed forward. Throw the pillow aside, both you and the blanket, hug me completely.

"Vi Vi! She... she finally accepts me!"

I was squeezed so hard by him that I couldn't breathe.
