Chapter 2 — The Lord Changes Destiny

At that moment, two young maids holding lanterns passed by not far away, whispering in low voices. "Your Highness is playing the piano, it's pitiful." "That's right, only on Princess Truong's birthday, can you dare to express your thoughts like that." "What do you think is good about that princess? He himself is a sick devil, and still wants to implicate our young master, it's true..." Their voices gradually faded away. far. The position in the heart seemed to have a big hole, the cold wind kept pouring in. It turns out that's the case. No wonder you've never touched me. Every time the Princess comes, he will pretend to be gentle and caring. All the things we once couldn't understand, at this moment have been answered. I'm like a fool, standing in the cold wind, listening to Phuong Cau Hoang all night long. The next day, I found him and got straight to the point: "Let's break up." Beyond my expectations, he refused without thinking. "Why?" I looked at him, only feeling extremely sarcastic. "If you don't like me, wouldn't it be right for me to want to break up now? Why wouldn't you agree?" He avoided my eyes, his voice still calm: "After all, I married you, of course I have to be responsible for you." Responsible duty? He paused for a moment and then said again: "The eldest princess always cares about you. A few days ago she was infected with wind and cold and her body was not feeling well. If she broke up now, she would definitely worry and feel sorry for her, which would not be beneficial for her condition." Every sentence and every word is for others. I am completely heartless. It turns out that even his refusal to separate was not because of me. When he went out the next day, I took a pen and paper and wrote a letter of farewell. The handwriting is not neat. After all, my body is weak and doesn't have much strength, but each stroke is still extremely clear. After simply packing my luggage, I immediately returned to my mother's house. After Ta Quan Lan learned about it, he repeatedly came to the door to ask to meet him, but he was always rejected outside. I am a golden branch and jade leaf, born a princess. Regardless of whether we become friends with you or separate from you, our nobility will never decrease. I have never needed your so-called responsibilities. 5 In this life, I did not reveal even the slightest bit of affection for Ta Quan Lan, on the contrary, it made Truong Princess even more curious. She chased after me and asked me which family's son I actually had in mind. Of course we cannot answer. Everything in my past life is like a nightmare I can't wake up from, weighing me down so I can't breathe. Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Princess Truong thought I was just shy and didn't continue to press questions. She held my hand and said: "If that's the case, there's no need for Yeu Yeu to draw conclusions too early. These two people are both dragons and phoenixes among humans, so just observe carefully and it won't be too late to refuse." But what's the difference? Regardless of the previous life or this life, the eyes of the two of them only passed me and then stopped on her. Certainly not unexpected. Because I didn't like anyone, Princess Truong said she couldn't choose today, so it was better to let me choose first. She ordered someone to bring the chess board, smiled and said to the two of them: "How about you two play a game of chess. The winner will marry Yeu Yeu, the loser will become the son-in-law of this palace." Her original intention was to take this opportunity to see how capable the two of you are, then give the better person to me. But after a game of chess, both of them intentionally gave way to each other. Chu Binh Le always had to think for a long time when making a move, as if he was afraid that if he made a wrong move, he would defeat the opponent. Ta Quan Lan became even more distracted, almost placing the chess pieces in position several times

died, but were "accidentally" saved by Chu Binh Le. A game of chess that was as bland as water, completely devoid of murderous intent. The smile on the Princess's face gradually disappeared, her eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly. Seeing the black and white chess pieces on the table interwoven, almost filled but still unable to determine victory or defeat, she finally lost patience. A "click" sounded, she closed the fan in her hand and threw it on the table. "The two of you keep yielding back and forth like that, are you criticizing Yeu Yeu in front of this palace?" Her voice was not loud but carried a cold meaning. As soon as the words ended, Chu Binh Le and Ta Quan Lan immediately left their seats and knelt on the ground at the same time. Chu Binh Le bowed his head and said in a sincere tone: "Your Highness calm down. From beginning to end, in my heart there is only your Highness. If I have to marry someone else to be my wife, I... really don't want to." He spoke very straightforwardly, also consistent with his noble and arrogant personality. Princess Truong's eyes turned to Ta Quan Lan. Ta Quan Lan was silent and did not speak. He looked up at me, his eyes were very light, like a feather gliding across the water, then immediately lowered again. He pursed his lips, finally opened his mouth, his cold voice was like colliding jade. "I... can marry the princess." My heart jumped slightly. Just listen to him continue:
