Chapter 3 — The Lady Who Flipped The Flag

Diep Khinh Khinh wore a red royal palace outfit, with a nine-tailed phoenix brooch on her head, as per the crown prince's standards. She led Thua Nghiep, bowed her eyebrows and stood next to Tieu Canh Duc. "Tri Tuyet, at the New Year's Eve party, I want to take Khinh Khinh and Thua Nghiep to the palace together." Tieu Canh Duc went straight to the point. I sat on a low bed, holding a tambourine in my hand and teasing Lang Duong. "Your Highness is in charge. Royal regulations, outsiders and concubines are not allowed to enter the Tai Chi palace. If your highness wants to take you along, of course there is your way." Tieu Canh Duc saw that I did not stop him, so he signaled Diep Khinh Khinh to come forward. Diep Khinh Khinh took out a bright yellow document from his sleeve and presented it to me with both hands. "Sister, His Highness has already informed the Tong Nhan Palace." "As long as someone stamps the crown prince's golden seal on this document, Thua Nghiep will officially be recorded in his name, as the eldest son of the Crown Prince's Palace." "On New Year's Eve, he can use his identity as an emperor to kowtow to the saint." I glanced at the document. That is an application to be recorded in the royal jade. In the past life, they also took this document and forced me to seal it. I swore to die that I would not follow, Tieu Canh Duc immediately announced to the outside world that I had suddenly become seriously ill, placing me under house arrest. Not only did he forcefully take my golden seal, he also cried to the emperor at the New Year's Eve banquet that I didn't understand the big picture, making the emperor even more afraid of Tran Vien Quan's arrogance. "Tri Tuyet." Tieu Canh Duc looked at me, his voice carried a pressure that did not allow refusal. "If Sua Nghiep is recorded in the jade scroll, he is the rightful and righteous heir. This matter for her, for the Tham family, is only beneficial and not harmful." I looked at his selfish and self-seeking face. him. He wanted to use the reputation of our Tran Vien army to whiten the identity of this outsider's son, giving him an advantage in competing for the position of military reserve. "Okay." Without hesitation, I took the crown prince's gold seal from the pillow and slammed it down on the right corner of the document. The red lipstick imprint on the golden silk was extremely dazzling. A ray of crazy joy flashed in Diep Khinh Khinh's eyes. She quickly put the document away, as if afraid I would change my mind. "Thank you for your success." Tieu Canh Duc also showed a satisfied smile. "Tri Tuyet, your body is weak on New Year's Eve, just stay in the palace and rest well. I will send more people to protect the heavenly courtyard." The three of them left satisfied. The moment the door closed, the complied look on my face immediately disappeared. The dark guard jumped down from the crossbar, knelt on one knee, and held up an envelope sealed with fire wax in both hands. "Niang Niang, an urgent letter has been sent by the eldest son. The entire background of Diep Khinh Khinh and that child is in here." I tore the fire wax and pulled out the letter. Just looking at the first two lines, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. In my previous life, I only knew that Diep Khinh Khinh was a person with a deep heart, but I didn't know that she was so bold. The letter is clearly written. Diep Khinh Khinh was originally raised in a private hospital by the Ly family, a salt merchant in Giang Nam. Three years ago, the Ly family's assets were confiscated because of a salt smuggling case, and she escaped with the child. That baby named Thua Nghiep is not Tieu Canh Duc's flesh and blood at all! Tieu Canh Duc met her on the way back to the capital. At that time, the baby was almost one year old. In the early years, Tieu Canh Duc was seriously injured due to falling from a horse. The doctor concluded that it would be very difficult for him to have children. I had a hard time getting pregnant, but I was born a girl. He knew he needed a son to strengthen his military position, so he pushed the boat forward and accepted this child. Or for a roguish dragon theft. I look

The ink cartridge pressed on the table is not yet completely dry. Royal jade butterfly, how easy is it to write a name like that! Sending an illegitimate child to impersonate the royal family's eldest son and write it down in the jade message. Once the matter is revealed, it will be the death penalty of committing treason, confusing the royal bloodline! The document has been sealed with my seal, tomorrow Tieu Canh Duc will bring it to Tong Nhan Palace. This sharp sword that could kill nine clans was hanging above his head. I walked to the cradle and gently rocked Lang Duong. "Go to sleep, my little highness." "After the new year, the sky of this capital will change."05 On New Year's Eve in the capital, snow filled the sky. From the direction of the royal palace came bursts of firecrackers, and the dinner party at Tai Chi Palace was at its climax. In the heavenly garden, I hugged Lang Duong and sat in front of the charcoal pot. The coals were burning very well, the room was warm and comfortable. "Niang, I heard that the people in the main courtyard are very prominent today." The nanny brought in a plate of freshly steamed red apple cake from outside and lowered her voice. I took a piece of red apple cake and took a bite, signaling her to continue. "Miss Diep, wearing a red royal palace outfit, led the child behind His Highness the Crown Prince into the Tai Chi Palace." "With that appearance, people who don't know would think she is the official Crown Princess." "Did Your Majesty say anything?" I asked. "The holy dragon's body is not feeling well. He only showed his face for a moment and then returned to the back hall to rest."
