Chapter 3 — The Princess has a thick face and a black heart

Bui Yen Le glanced at me impatiently: "Yen Nhi just likes to play around, do you have to worry about her too?"

"Yen Nhi's hands are tired from carrying the tea. Don't you hurry up and drink this cup of tea? Do you want to miss the auspicious time to worship?"

Lieu Yen Nhi glanced at me smugly: "Little sister, stop trying to beat around the bush, big brother Bui is not scared."

“If you don't want to be laughed at, you'd better drink this cup of tea quickly.”

Guests coming to the party immediately whispered.

"There's a good show to watch this time. There's no precedent in the capital for three people worshiping at the same time and getting married!"

"Such a big insult, can the bride agree? This is the four marriages of the saints, what they are doing is too messy."

"What do you know, the Ninh family is a bunch of weak and useless people, from old to young, not one person can stand up. Otherwise, how dare that Lieu Yen Nhi be so arrogant?"

"And that saint, well, that lady of the Bui family has been out of favor for many years, and now suddenly she's pregnant. Your Majesty is so fond of her, how can she punish her mother's family."

I received everyone's mocking looks, grabbed the teacup from Lieu Yen Nhi's hand, and then poured the entire cup of tea directly into her mouth. Right after that, I took a step back, my body shook slightly, returning to my weak and weak appearance. Lieu Yen Nhi was so choked that she coughed non-stop, and the guests immediately cried out in surprise. Bui Yen Le was so angry that she jumped up: "Ninh, you dare to be jealous to this extent, and even try to make things difficult for me, where are your rules and etiquette?" My eye sockets were slightly red, my soft voice carried a hint of self-pity.

"Before getting married, her parents repeatedly warned her that since she was a child, her body was weak and her personality was shy. After entering the Duke's Palace, she must maintain her duties and take care of everything from the Bui family."

"But this Princess Liu is wearing a dark red dress that only the main wife can wear at the wedding banquet between the goddess and her husband."

"Boi Ninh's two families were married because of the saints. Did she do this to treat the royal family as if it did not exist, or did she think that the National Palace could surpass the formalities?"

"Since ancient times, concubines have had to wait until the second day after the mother-in-law enters the house to pay their respects. Now that the auspicious hour has not yet arrived, Concubine Lieu has already stood in front of the palace and forced her to offer tea."

"This goddess is stupid and does not dare to disrupt the rules and etiquette. Because of the reputation of the Duke's Palace, I can only return this cup of tea to Concubine Liu."

A speech that both pointed out Lieu Yen Nhi's disrespectful behavior and brought out the royal dignity, immediately put the Bui family in a passive position. Old lady Bui had always stood there coldly watching, waiting for Lieu Yen Nhi to show off her power to confront me, and finally couldn't sit still anymore. Old lady Bui raised her hand and slapped Lieu Yen Nhi hard on the face: "You don't know the rules, why don't you quickly back down? If you miss a good time, can you handle it?" Lieu Yen Nhi was knocked to the ground by a slap, suddenly clutching her stomach and screaming in pain. Bright red blood slowly flowed out along her skirt, making her startled and scared.

“My stomach, my stomach hurts!”

Old lady Bui was stunned: "I just slapped you, why do you need to pretend to be like this?" Bui Yen Le's eyes were bloodshot and he forcefully pushed Old Man Bui realized: "Mother, Yen Nhi has been harmed like this, are you still in the mood to say cold words?" Having finished speaking, Bui Yen Le completely ignored the pale face of old lady Bui, picked up Lieu Yen Nhi and ran straight out: "Yen Nhi, please bear with it a bit, brother Bui will take you to see the doctor, brother Bui will definitely save you." Mrs. Bui was so angry that her eyes widened and she fainted on the spot. I hugged Mrs. Bui and cried until I cried: "Mother, don't scare me."

"Even though your disobedient husband makes you feel sad, that slap from you may have caused the loss of the baby in Concubine Lieu's womb. It's unavoidable for your husband to be suddenly agitated."

Having finished speaking, it was as if I had just realized that I had said something I shouldn't have said. I quickly turned to the guests, painfully opening my mouth.

"I would also like to ask all distinguished guests to respect my young age and clumsy speech. Do not spread the story that my husband, before marrying his wife, made his concubine pregnant, and in order to protect the concubine, openly disobeyed his biological mother."

The guests immediately understood everything, their eyes looking towards the Bui family were filled with contempt, everyone shook their heads and left one by one. The Bui family's big wedding farce would spread throughout the capital in just a moment. When the doctor arrived, the mother was no longer in danger, it was just that her blood was too strong, she could rest and recuperate. I sat vigil next to the bed, still with that weak and weak appearance, offering tea and medicine, not letting any mistakes happen. Less than half an hour later, Bui Yen Le's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and behind him was Lieu Yen Nhi, whose face was as white as ashes.
