Chapter 5 — The Goddess Changes Her Husband

"In the end, you are the biological son of your father. How important do you think your status as a goddess is? What if you bully her and humiliate her? Your mother even told you to treat her well, which is ridiculous." Before leaving, he coldly threw back a sentence: "After entering the Eastern Palace, I will make you know what regret is like!" I will not regret. Because I will not step into his Eastern Palace at all. The Crown Prince is extravagant and arrogant, far inferior to his mother. Some time later, So Dan Nhi recuperated after her miscarriage. During that time, the Crown Prince often visited her and took extremely good care of her. My mother also dislikes me even more because of her. The Crown Prince wants to organize the wedding with So Dan Nhi earlier than planned. In his heart, he felt guilty and wanted to welcome her into the palace soon. At the same time, he also wanted to show off his power against me. Even though it was just a wedding, the wedding was held extremely solemnly. The Ministry of Ceremonies personally took care of the ceremony, and the ceremony was almost on par with the Crown Prince's wedding ceremony. The Emperor did not object at all and conveniently agreed. They even suppressed the petitions that doubted the Crown Prince. This made the Crown Prince even more proud: "Goddess? That's all." He was satisfied, a smile also appeared on So Dan Nhi's face. Suddenly, the goddess I, the future Crown Princess, became a laughing stock. On the wedding day, many people came. Their eyes looking at me were more or less filled with sympathy. Only father, mother, Crown Prince and those accompanying him were smiling brightly. But very quickly, they couldn't laugh anymore. Before So Dan Nhi stepped onto the palanquin, a decree suddenly appeared, breaking everything. "Phung Thien inherited the fortune, the Emperor wrote: The eldest daughter of Dinh Bac Ba is Luc Suong Hoa, as the goddess protecting the country, always caring for the people, dignified and virtuous. Now I bestow a marriage to the third son Chu Dinh Chi. Pray!"All fell silent. So quiet you could hear a pin drop. I don't know how long it took, but my father's doubtful voice rang out: "May I ask the chancellor, is there a mistake?" The eunuch took the decree and personally handed it to me. "Of course not. Your Majesty wrote very clearly, the third prince Chu Dinh Chi, absolutely cannot be wrong." The Crown Prince's whole body shook. He didn't pay attention to the bride next to him and rushed forward to grab the decree. After clearly seeing the name above, he suddenly held the eunuch's hand on the shoulder, widened his eyes and asked: "How could it be the Third Brother? How could the father marry a goddess to the Third Brother? Impossible! What does the father mean?" At the last word, his voice trembled slightly. He thought of many possibilities. He once thought that His Majesty no longer valued me, and also thought that His Majesty loved him. But he absolutely did not expect that His Majesty did not intend to marry me to him at all. Thinking of this, he almost couldn't bear it. Your Majesty did not punish him, and even tolerated him. All because His Majesty no longer values him. But he is the Crown Prince. How could His Majesty not respect him? Unless... He is no longer the Crown Prince! He widened his eyes, the force on his hand became stronger: "Say it! What does your father mean? What about you? Suong Hoa marries Third Brother, what should you do?" The eunuch's chancellor smiled and removed his hand: "Your Highness, don't be impatient. Isn't your highness's bride here?" After speaking, he pointed at So Dan Nhi. The prince could not bear it any longer, pulled a horse nearby and sped away. Only So Dan Nhi was left wearing a red headscarf, silently shedding tears in the wind. After the Crown Prince entered the palace, he did not return for a long time. Mother felt sad for So Dan Nhi and wanted to take her back. But father did not agree. He insisted on bringing So Dan Nhi to the palanquin. Bring her here

Eastern palace. After everyone left, my father looked at me with a complicated expression: "Suong Hoa, you always knew about this, right?" I nodded. My mother's face was unsightly, with a flicker of hatred in her eyes: "Luc Suong Hoa, what have I done wrong to you that you must treat us like that? What do you want Dan Nhi to do? What face will he have to live on in the future?" I calmly looked at her: "Mother, have you ever thought about how I would live if I married the Crown Prince?" She was stunned, gritted her teeth and said: "You are a goddess, how much resentment can you bear? Guard, who can do anything to you?" I laughed: "Mother is right. Because I am a goddess, do I deserve to be bullied, do I deserve to be resentful?" "Isn't that right?!" Mother suddenly stood up, her eyes bloodshot. "You are noble, you are a goddess, you have Her Majesty's back, the Queen Mother and the Queen have your back. You don't need me, I'm not important at all. Everyone blames me for not treating you well is my daughter, why should I bear the pain of you?" "Only Dan Nhi trusts me, relies on me. Her stepmother mistreats her, she only has me. If I don't love her, then who will she love?" "Luc Suong Hoa, in my eyes, you are not one thousandth of Dan Nhi." The hatred in her eyes almost wanted to swallow me. It turns out that's it. I lowered my eyes and did not answer.
