"The people are present." "Why are you looking at him?" "The people see if His Highness is safe or not." The corner of Ta Hanh Chu's lips was about to curl up, but the emperor slammed the table. "Shut your mouth." Before Ta Hanh Chu said anything, he was scolded. We feel a little more at ease inside. The emperor threw down the medal. "Some people say that Viet Vuong has a close relationship with you, intending to use a female guardian to buy fame for himself." Ta Hanh Chu said in a cold voice: "My brother is not lacking in reputation." The emperor said: "I told you to keep your mouth shut." Ta Hanh Chu closed his mouth. The emperor looked at me again: "There are also people who say that you borrowed the influence of the Viet King and forced officials from all over to set up female households." I asked: "Do you believe it?" The emperor's eyebrows furrowed: "You still dare to question me?" "Women don't dare." "I see that you dare." I said no more. The Emperor was silent for a moment and then said: "Tham Le, do you know that more than three thousand six hundred female guardians have been established in all places?" Hearing this number, I was stunned. That much? The Emperor continued: "There are widows, there are orphans, there are people whose family property was taken over by their clan, and there are people whose family property was voluntarily given to them by their parents during their lifetime. Their civil status all started from the first case." My heart tensed. Ta Hanh Chu tilted his head and looked at me, his eyes very gentle. The Emperor said: "So today I ask you, if you marry Viet Vuong, will you still be able to keep the Tham household?" I raised my head and firmly replied: "I can keep it." This time I did not hesitate. The Emperor looked at me: "Why?" I said: "Because in the past year, the female household is no longer the only female household. Whether Tham Le gets married or not does not stop their names from being written in the government's books." Ta Hanh Chu's eyes were slightly red. I said again: "Furthermore, even if the common woman gets married, I don't intend to leave Tham household out." Finally, the emperor laughed. "Okay." Ta Hanh Chu immediately raised his head. The emperor coldly glanced at him: "What are you happy about? I agreed to let her keep it for me, not for you to cause trouble." Ta Hanh Chu immediately said: "I am willing to keep Tham in charge." The emperor's eyes looked at him even more hatefully. "You really know how to arrange for yourself." 15 When the decree granting the marriage was passed down, the capital was bustling again. Someone scolded me for being bold. Someone scolded Ta Hanh Chu for not having a future. There are also people who say that the royal family is the royal family, yet they let the royal concubine keep her household registration, which really breaks the system. I looked at those words and just asked Ta Hanh Chu: "Do you regret it?" He was sitting in the yard helping me turn over the books. Hearing that, I immediately raised my head. "Regret." My hand stopped. He continued: "I regret not telling the royal brother to issue orders sooner, waiting in vain for a year." I snatched back the books. "Your Highness should still talk less." He smiled and came closer. "Do you still call your highness?" I stood up and left. He chased after. "Tham Le." "What to do?" "On the day we get married, can I enter from the door of the Tham family?" I stopped walking. "What do you want to do?" He said seriously: "Get used to the way." I stared at him. "King, are you the one getting married?" His ears turned red, but he refused to back down. "If you agree, it's not impossible." I couldn't help but laugh. He looked at me and smiled. On the day of their marriage, the emperor personally attended. People from all over the capital came to watch the excitement. The official was originally about to read a long series of rituals of the Viet Vuong Palace, but was interrupted by the emperor. "It's a bit simple. Today is to see the ceremony of the Tham household, not for you to show off the ceremony." The official's head sweated and quickly changed his words. The marriage letter was written very clearly. Tham Le is still the head of the household of Tham Ho, the property in his name does not enter the Viet Vuong palace. Ta Hanh Chu is not allowed to touch it arbitrarily. Seeing the last sentence, I couldn't help but turn to look at him. "Did you add this sentence?" He calmly said: "Your Majesty added it." I raised my head to look.

emperor. The Emperor did not change his face: "I'm afraid he will destroy the family." Ta Hanh Chu: "..." Everyone did not dare to laugh. I dare. After the ceremony was over, there was still an old man who was not satisfied and made a statement saying that this precedent would damage the majesty of the royal family. The Emperor asked: "What majesty does Viet Vuong have?" The old man was speechless. Ta Hanh Chu stood next to him, his expression calm. The emperor said again: "He is pleased, you guys are really generous." The ministers: "..." Ta Hanh Chu bowed his head: "I am truly pleased." I raised my sleeve to cover my mouth. This person is really not afraid of losing face. After that, the Tham clan leader was exiled. The third uncle's family compensated for the money they had appropriated, and returned to their hometown in gray. The debt my father left behind was paid off after three years. The Tham family's store opened to the second street in the capital. The fifth year after the female guardian order was implemented, the number of female guardians in various places exceeded ten thousand. There are women who inherit property alone, there are women who still keep the same household after getting married, and there are also parents who actively keep their daughter's name. I don't dare say that the world has changed since then. But at least some people's names no longer have to wait for others to give their nod before they can be kept. Ta Hanh Chu is still very free.
