Chapter 7 — Thiem Ha Xuan

"Xuan Chi, this palace really likes this gift. What reward do you want?" Seeing Concubine Ta favoring me so, everyone looked over at once. Among them, Jiang Oan Hoa's jealous eyes are the most obvious. Just now she lost face before me. Now seeing that I was standing out like that, the hand hidden under the table squeezed the handkerchief so tightly that it seemed like it wanted to crumple it. Tham Lan Thanh looked at the embroidered picture, then looked at me, with a little more surprise in her eyes. I quickly stood up and bowed. "Your highness is blessed with golden peace, Xuan Chi is not..." Before I could finish, Ta Duong grabbed my wrist. "Your highness, I remember that last time the country had just donated a series of lapis lazuli bracelets with gold points." "I like it very much. Please give it to my wife." Everyone had different expressions. Everyone laughed at Ta Duong for being thick-faced and not knowing the rules. Only my heart suddenly trembled. Until now I have never been interested in jewelry. Only likes purple jade. Before the sale, the box in my bedroom was filled with purple jade items. Even my father doesn't know that hobby. Yet... how did Ta Duong know? Seeing that Ta Duong opened her mouth to ask for things, she was not angry, just laughed and scolded: "It's true that after marrying your wife, you should know how to love people. That necklace is extremely precious, you really know how to choose." "Okay." Concubine Ta gently nodded. The palace maid next to me immediately brought a purple jade bracelet in front of me. I quickly received it and knelt down to thank him. Giang Oan Hoa looked at the purple jade necklace, her eyes filled with admiration. She glanced at Ta Duong next to me, then looked at Tham Lan Thanh sitting next to her, her eyes gradually becoming gloomy. The sound of the gu harp rang out again. Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Ta Quy Phi, the scene was extremely harmonious. Halfway through the banquet, someone suggested playing a game of flying flowers. Although I like playing chess and drawing pictures, I don't like memorizing poetry. I still remember my previous life. Because I didn't want to make Tham Lan Thanh lose face at the banquet, I deliberately memorized many poems. Unexpectedly, later that book of poems fell into the hands of Giang Oanh Hoa. At the banquet, she read all of my poems first. Made me stand in the middle of the main hall, extremely confused. From then on, Tham Lan Thanh hated me even more. He said I was vulgar, rustic, and not as good as Giang Oanh Hoa, who had both poetic talent and taste. That's why I'm even more infatuated with her. But in this life, I prepared early. He even invited a teacher to teach him the rules of meter and rhyme. After a few rounds of flying orders, everyone praised me even more. As for Giang Oan Hoa, she was not prepared at all and could only reluctantly read a few mediocre poems. So bad that Tham Lan Thanh frowned. The eyes looking at Giang Oanh Hoa also became more and more impatient. … Ta Duong drinks a lot of alcohol. I spent a lot of effort to get him into bed. His cheeks were rosy, his sparkling eyes blinked slightly, muttering: "Madam..." Seeing him so drunk, I sighed softly, turned around and was about to call the little private to take care of him. As soon as I took a step, Ta Duong pulled my hand. He just used a little force, I lost my balance and fell down on the bed. Ta Duong turned around and pressed down, placing his hands on both sides of him. Her bright black eyes stared intently at me. "You're hiding from me again." I raised my hand to push his hard chest. "Who's hiding from you? I'm just going to call a small private to take care of you." "Why do I have to call a small private? Giang Xuan Chi, you tell yourself. Other than when you're willing to be by my side, the rest of the time as long as the two of us are in the same room, you'll immediately avoid me." "Am I a warm god?" "Being married?" It's been almost three months, and I haven't even held my lady's hand yet." "I'm three years younger than you

year old. If she doesn't love me, that's fine. Now that she sees me drunk, she still wants to throw me to the little guy." "Giang Xuan Chi, you really have no conscience!" Ta Duong furiously vented. He spoke in a jumbled manner, before or after. I admit. I have always avoided him. But after being together for so long, seeing me avoid, he has never crossed the limit. Remembering his previous life, he had never touched Giang Oanh Hoa. So I always thought that he also secretly accepted it. accepting the way the two of them lived together. I didn't expect him to explode again today. Seeing his pitiful appearance, I didn't know how to respond, so I continued to push him. "Okay, I won't call you again. I'll take care of you, can you stand up first?" "No. If she doesn't speak clearly, I won't get up." Poor Ta Duong buried his head in the crook of my neck. Half of my body immediately went numb as if being electrocuted. His hot breath tickled my ear. Even though he hadn't really touched me yet, I was still panicking. I used my strength to push him away, and my words became useless: "Ta Duong, if you have any need, just go find your soul mate in your castle, let me go!"... Perhaps my reaction was too fierce. Ta Duong sat up and looked at me, his eyes were dark and alert, no longer half drunk. "So it's because of that. Maybe you won't believe it, but I've never looked for a beautiful soulmate in a castle." I looked bewildered into his deep black eyes. "What... what?" Ta Duong let go of my hand, half leaning against the head of the bed, his appearance returning to his usual lazy look. "Seeing you keep avoiding me, I'm not happy, so I wanted to tease you a little." "Sorry, I scared you. I will make up for it." You even teased me. I was so angry that I rolled my eyes. This guy Ta Duong is really naughty! No wonder Giang Oanh Hoa cried to Tham Lan Thanh every day in her previous life.
