Chapter 15 — The Husband takes on two duties, we reconcile and become a Princess

He frowned, clearly not knowing what was going on. Tieu Dich Han saw me, a look of joy flashed across his face.

"I heard that today you left the palace and returned to Tuc Vuong Palace. Tri Kien, I specially came to congratulate you."

Today is like this, I don't want to make things unsightly. I smiled and opened my mouth: "Lord Tieu, today this princess did not invite outsiders, wait until the next day when the Royal Palace is completely repaired, then invite Lady Tieu and the ladies to gather." His face changed slightly. He probably didn't expect me to not respect him at all, but he quickly regained his expression.

"What the princess said is right. It's just that I'm not an outsider. Nie Nie has not seen his father for a long time."

"I'll follow the princess inside, maybe I can give some advice."

Only then did I realize that he could actually be this thick-skinned. But it's true, if he didn't have a thick skin, how could he let me suffer enough and even chase me out the door. Ta Hoai Nghia laughed coldly: "Master Tieu is really enthusiastic, but with me here, there is no need for you to worry." Tieu Dich Han was about to open his mouth, but he stopped him.

"If Lord Tieu is really curious, I can wait for Tri Kien and I to have a party later, but I can take you for a walk around."

Having finished speaking, he picked Niep Nie up and pulled me into the palace. Niep Nie obediently lay in his arms, even adjusting his position himself, extremely familiar. Even if Tieu Dich Han called, she didn't even bother to give him a good look. It's just that as soon as we entered the palace gate, we immediately turned back. Seeing me come out, Tieu Dich Han's face showed joy: "Tri Kien, I knew..." Before he could finish speaking, he was startled by a string of fireworks thrown in front of him. Hearing his voice, butler Tham Ba glanced at him.

"Oh my, this gentleman stands so well. Today the Tuc Vuong Palace is not receiving guests."

Having finished speaking, Uncle Tham commanded several people to spread firecrackers at the door, gradually forcing Tieu Dich Han out into the street. He let me and Niep Nie stand at the door, facing the main street.

“Welcome Princess Thanh Ha back to the palace!”

As soon as the words ended, the fireworks exploded loudly, lasting half a second before stopping. Amidst the scattered pieces of fireworks, Tieu Dich Han and I looked at each other from afar. He opened his mouth to say something, but I couldn't hear it nor see clearly. Soon, a crowd of people gathered outside to watch the excitement. Tieu Dich Han was jostled aside, and in just a few blinks, he was no longer visible. Uncle Tham waved his hand: "Today, Tu Vuong's mansion is open, the princess treats everyone to fruit." From the palace, many maids and servants came out, carrying fruits and candies to give to the common people. The people receiving the goods, under the guidance of Uncle Tham, simultaneously chanted "welcome the princess". I entered the palace amidst cheers, the servants in the palace were still like yesterday, lining up neatly to welcome me. The cheers inside and outside the palace rose like waves, making my eyes heat up. Ta Hoai Nghia stood next to me and gently pushed me: "Let's go, Uncle Tham will come in later, let's go see the manager in the palace." I nodded. Waiting for me to enter the flower hall, uncle Tham also followed. He led the administrators who knelt down and bowed their heads.

“The old slave finally waited for the princess to return, even though he was old tall, but still able to work, this old servant will definitely take good care of the princess."

As soon as he finished speaking, another mother also spoke:

"I don't know if the princess still remembers the slave or not. The slave used to serve in the Princess's room."

I looked at her face and exclaimed in surprise: "Are you...Hoai Nhu?" A smile appeared on her face: "To be able to be remembered by the princess is a slave's honor, but now it's already Hoai ma ma." I told everyone to stand up, all of my grace and dignity were used at once. I had learned these things long ago in the palace. Waiting for everyone to retreat, Ta Hoai Nghia looked around.

"Tri Kien, these people are all old people of Tuc Vuong Palace, but with so many people, after so many years, people's hearts can easily change, she must have a calculation in her heart."

We naturally understand. The letters that appeared in his father's study that year are the best evidence. When my parents were still alive, there were already traitors in the palace, not to mention the chaotic times right now, more like a sieve, anywhere can slip through. But if I dare to return, dare to step into this place, then I am not afraid, and moreover, I have already prepared in advance. Wait for me to check again, they're all on their own. I took Niep Niep around the palace and pointed out a few areas that needed fixing. Unconsciously, it was noon time. I kept Ta Hoai Nghia for dinner. He was busy early in the morning and only drank a few sips of tea all day. This is the first time the three of us sit down and seriously eat a meal together.
