Chapter 4
Chapter 4 — The Regent, who loved me for four years, turned around and wanted to marry the man who once haunted me
Tieu Dao quickly responded:
"What are you thinking! How could the noble princess remember the preferences of her subjects? Who is Ta Vong? Is he worthy?"
On Dao was scared by that atmosphere, and after a moment, he whispered:
"Your Highness, please forgive my suddenness. Being able to marry him is the thing that makes me the happiest. But I lost both my parents when I was young, I don't have a single silver coin on me, there's really nothing else I can give him."
"I heard that before a big wedding, folk women often make a few embroidered items themselves to give to the other person. This can help the two of them have a hundred years of love, so I..."
I interrupted her:
“On Dao, because of a man, you don't even need the position of female official anymore?”
That year, the reason On Dao wanted to assassinate me was because she heard rumors from others that I wanted to take Ta Vong as my male pet. While angry, she learned a little cat scratching technique, and took advantage of the time I left the palace to travel and wanted to do something unfavorable. I saw that she was smart and smart, but I felt pitiful, so I let her become a female official. And she also promised me that she would try to achieve results. I looked at her disappointedly:
"On Dao, I let you become a female official of Chuc Tao Department, not so that you can marry me into a woman and use needle and thread to embroider. The road ahead is wide and spacious, why can't you see it?"
The smile and strong affection in On Dao's eyes gradually disappeared, she said in panic:
"I... but I can't leave him. I'm... sorry."
She was so flustered that she lost her composure, the needle and thread in her hand fell to the ground, and her whole body pretended to kneel. I frowned slightly, intending to stop. A large hand suddenly appeared, pulling her behind her to protect her.
“Ngoc Ninh, why do you have to make things difficult for her?”
That expression appeared on Ta Vong's face again —
"She's still young, doesn't understand things, just confused for a while."
"Her family just encountered an incident, and I'm the only one left by her side."
“Your Highness, the eldest princess, is generous, don't be so picky with a commoner like her.”
Ta Vong always has his own reasons to protect others. My eyes glanced over the two of them's touching arms.
“Tieu Dao, slap your mouth.”
In the end, Tieu Dao's sleeve was rolled up and he raised his hand to slap Ta Vong in the face.
“Dare to call the eldest princess by her first name without even kneeling!”
Ta Vong's face immediately turned red. A teasing voice rang out from behind —
“Oh, who made the royal sister angry again?”
The royal brother stepped forward and glared at Ta Vong:
“Ta Vong, what do you want to do this time?”
Ta Vong's fingertips curled slightly, he spoke hoarsely:
“I beg Your Majesty… to effect the marriage between me and Wen Dao.”
The royal brother threw the folding fan in his hand at Ta Vong.
“Are you determined to marry her?!”
Ta Vong lowered his eyes, hiding the unwillingness in his eyes: His brother slightly squinted his eyes:
“On Dao, do you know that according to the rules of our dynasty, female officials and married couples can only choose one?”
On Dao did not hesitate:
“Your Majesty, I am willing to give up my future in exchange for a lifetime by my side him.”
The royal brother continuously said three times "Okay". Then he threw the problem to me.
"Ta Vong, as long as you get the princess's seal of approval, I will immediately approve your request."
Ta Vong once again looked towards me. I looked at those eyes and suddenly remembered the time when the regent curtain had just fallen. At that time, the civil and military mandarins in the court saw that there was no one behind me to support them, so they suppressed both me and my royal brother.
