Chapter 6 — The Seventh Princess is the National Teacher

I shrank my neck.

"Your Majesty, if you don't believe it... your left shoulder has a wound from an arrow, it hurts every time it rains. In the third drawer of the writing desk is the book 'Record of the Seven Princesses'... also... there's also the story of you hearing my heart..."

Before he finished speaking, the tyrant's father reached out to cover my mouth, his eyes as sharp as knives:

“Who told you?”

I pointed to the sky, then pointed to my heart. Finally, Nhan Tieu slowly let go and sighed.

“Since when?”

“The day you were born.”

I tell the truth.

"When you poked my cheek, I scolded you for being a tyrant in my heart..."

“Phew!”

Nhan Tieu burst out laughing, but immediately turned serious.

“If other people know about this…”

"I understand! Stop talking!"

I raised my hand and swore:

“Even the mother-in-law doesn't know.”

Nhan Tieu rubbed his temples:

“So… what about Ta Lam Uyen?”

“Huh?” I don't understand at the moment.

“The name I kept repeating in my head – my future fiance.”

Nhan Tieu narrowed his eyes. I blushed. The confidences of adolescence - he has heard them all! At the same time - the young general quietly entered the darkness of the palace. When he received the news that the Seventh Princess was under house arrest, he was training his soldiers and horses. Immediately took off his armor, rode one horse and one horse back to the capital. Ta Lam Uyen threw himself onto the roof of the palace, his body like a bird flying through the night sky. Suddenly I heard a familiar clear scream:

"Ta Lam Uyen! Come down for me!"

He slipped and almost fell down. Under the moonlight, the Seventh Princess stood with her hands on her hips in the middle of the yard, behind her... It was the Emperor - who was half smiling and half not smiling. Nhan Tieu looked at the young general kneeling in front of him. The person had not yet had time to change his armor and was covered in dust, apparently he had voluntarily returned to the capital and crossed the forbidden palace fence.

"God... sin deserves death."

Ta Lam Uyen bowed his head and touched the ground.

“Truly worthy of death.”

Nhan Tieu's voice was cold.

“Abandoning your position, invading the royal palace late at night - any crime is enough to be beheaded.”

“Father!”

I hugged his hand.

"Lam Uyen Ca Ca was worried about his child... moreover, he just accomplished a feat!"

Nhan Tieu raised his eyebrows:

“Oh? So how do you plan on asking for love?”

I rolled my eyes, tiptoed to his ear and whispered:

“I can use three predictions to change his life, okay?”

“First, the day after tomorrow the Prime Minister will unite with the Imperial Palace to play the royal harp to protect the evildoers.”

“Second, the Northern Dich envoy is on his way, on the surface he wants to make peace but in reality he wants to assassinate.”

“Tuesday…”

I smiled mischievously.

“Next year, you will have a royal prince.”

Nhan Tieu twitched his temple. The first two things can also be inferred from the news... But the third thing... The Queen was soon diagnosed as unable to give birth...

I stood next to the gold-wrapped dragon pillar in Kim Loan Palace, feeling the razor-sharp eyes of hundreds of civil and military mandarins pouring towards me. On my fourteenth birthday, my tyrant father immediately gave me a "surprise gift" - a special decree allowing me to attend court, granting me the title "Princess Due".

"Your Majesty! Your daughter is involved in politics, contrary to the ancestors!"

The Minister of Rites knelt down, his head hitting the ground like a chicken pecking rice. I secretly rolled my eyes: 【Ancestor, your ancestor is still in the cave! Why don't you go live in the cave and eat your hair in the hole?!】

“Cough cough…”

The tyrant's father - Nhan Tieu - coughed softly twice:

“Due The princess is good at mathematics, and just in time coordinated with the Household Ministry to check the books."

We cooperated extremely well, immediately pulled out the math board and started clicking.

"Last year there was a problem with the Jiangnan Textile Bureau's records - three thousand marble panels were lost, converted into silver tael was ninety-eight thousand taels, exactly equal to the cost of building Minister Ly's new palace, right?"

Phew! Minister Ly immediately fell limp and fell to the ground. The whole court was in an uproar. After the end of the court, I followed my tyrant father back to the royal study.

"Lord Ta Lam Uyen, pay your respects to Your Majesty, pay your respects to Princess Due."

The young general had not yet had time to change his armor, his body was weathered but still tough and strong. Three years of guarding the border had trained him to become more and more handsome, and the faint scar on his eyebrow made him even more cold. My heart skipped a beat:

“Calm down.”

“God has a song.”

Ta Lam Uyen knelt down on one knee and presented the chapter:

“The northern border won a great victory, destroying thirty thousand enemies. I… do not ask for rewards.”

The tyrant father raised his eyebrows:

“Oh? So what do you ask for?

“I want to ask for favor — please marry Princess Due.”

Nhan Tieu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Thank you, general, do you know how to write the four words 'cong gao chan chu'?"

“I vow to hand over the military talisman,

Just want to be a princess and her son-in-law.” His eyes were like fire, sincere and earnest. Nhan Tieu narrowed his eyes, his lips pressed into a straight line. Danger! This is the preparation position... to kill someone! I immediately "woah" and burst into tears.

“Father! He bullied me!”

This scream made Nhan Tieu freeze on the spot. Ta Lam Uyen was also bewildered. His face, which had never changed color in the middle of a battlefield, was now as panicked as a chicken with hair stuck in its hair. I sobbed and whispered:

“He clearly promised to teach his child how to ride a horse and shoot arrows, but now he wants to be his son-in-law, clearly wanting to skip work!”

Nhan Tieu looked at me, then looked at Ta Lam Uyen, and smiled coldly:

“Then from today, General Ta will be Princess Due's riding and shooting master.”

“What about marriage…”

“Wait until the princess arrives and then make a proposal.”

I secretly winked at Ta Lam Uyen. The young general's ears turned red and he bowed his head, but the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.
