One stone created thousands of waves, the whole palace immediately stirred. Truong Ninh's face suddenly turned pale. She almost crawled over and knelt next to Bui Nhien, trembling and pulling him. "Brother! You've had too much to drink!" Bui Nhien pushed her away again and shook his head. Immediately after that, he knelt down with a bang, his forehead hitting the yellow tile floor heavily. "Your Majesty, I and Tham Thi have been married for three years. Husband and wife have a deep love. That day, bandits were rampant outside the city. My wife and I had the misfortune of having an accident, and I was in excruciating pain." “But today when I saw Lady Tham, it was clear that she was my wife!” The main hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, and everyone's eyes fell on him. Bui Nhien's words were almost pointed directly at the emperor's nose and scolded him for taking away his wife and his subjects, being unfair and unfair. For a moment, no one dared to say anything, even Truong Ninh did not dare to raise his hand. Tieu Dien's expression was unpredictable, he tilted his head to look at me. "Lord Shen, Master Bui said you are his wife, what do you say?" I stood up, walked to the middle of the main hall, knelt down next to Bui Nhien. “Returning to your Majesty, I do not know this gentleman.” As soon as the words were uttered, whispers immediately rang out in the palace. “Old Trieu, can you see clearly, is that really Mrs. Bui?” "Your eyes are very similar. A few days ago, I saw Lord Bui go with her to buy a brooch." “You two, please shut up, don't you see that our Majesty's face is not good?” One of them secretly glanced up, then quickly lowered his head. Start with your eyes looking at your nose, your nose looking at your heart, no matter what other people say, don't say a word. Tieu Dien leaned on the long chair, his fingers leisurely tapping on the armrest. "Bui dear khanh, you've drunk too much." Bui Nhien stood motionless, as if he did not understand what the emperor meant. Just stubbornly speaking. “I don't drink much, I'm very sober, that's my wife.” The Emperor slowly smiled. That smile was as gentle as the spring breeze in March, sending chills down the spines of everyone in the hall. “I said, you drank too much.” Every word, word by word, underneath the calm words is a murderous aura. Truong Ninh hugged his arm tightly, his voice carrying tears. "Brother! You've got the wrong person! Your sister-in-law is gone! Come home with me!" She desperately wanted to pull him down, but Bui Nhien seemed to be nailed to the spot. The eye sockets were red, like a cornered animal. I still calmly knelt on the ground, coldly watching this drama. Bui Nhien right now is like a child causing trouble for no reason. It was clear that he had everything he wanted, and he was still hungry for more. But he is already an adult, so he understands that things in life are difficult to follow. All things will not move and change according to his thoughts. Tieu Dien slowly stood up and walked to my side, bowed slightly and put his hand in front of me. I complied and took it, standing next to him. Tieu Dien gently patted the back of my hand and announced. "This is the end of the palace banquet. Everyone retire." He held my hand, turned around and walked towards the back hall. Behind him was Bui Nhien's extremely suppressed whisper. “A Uyen…” I didn't turn around. Phuc An quickly followed, speaking in a low voice. "Your Majesty, Master Bui..." Tieu Dien did not turn around. “Bring him home, then invite a doctor.” Phuc An bowed to receive orders. Tieu Dien still held my hand as we walked to the door of Tru Tu Palace before letting go. The moonlight was dim, making it impossible to see his expression clearly. “Wan Nhi, do you know him?” I looked up at him and spoke calmly. "This concubine is a noble person appointed by Your Majesty, how can I know Lord Bui?" Tieu Dien stared at me for a few seconds and smiled. “That's good.” The next day, the decree of consecration was given. He was promoted to a higher position and was given the title of God. The harem was in an uproar, and rumors suddenly arose in all directions. I am a woman of unknown origin, but as soon as I entered the palace I was already a noble, and even in just half a month I jumped into the throne, becoming the master of a palace. The concubines were a little unable to sit still, using the excuse of coming to congratulate to find out the truth. Le Phi looked at the rewards flowing one after another like water flowing into Dien H

I bowed, my eyes reddened with jealousy. "Younger sister is truly blessed. I heard that before you entered the palace, you were married to Master Bui? My sister is very curious, what tricks did you use to be able to receive such deep love from the Emperor and Lord Bui?" I hold a cup of tea and gently blow on the foam. "You're wrong, sister. Yesterday on the throne, I said I didn't know Lord Bui. Your Majesty also said that Lord Bui was drunk and recognized the wrong person. Are you doubting His Majesty's good words?" Concubine Le's face changed slightly. “I don't dare.” I gently took a sip, put the tea cup down, and a clear sound rang out on the table. "It's good if I don't dare. If I don't spread the word, I don't know what others will think of me." "Sisters and sisters sincerely came to congratulate, I also sincerely advise. My Tham Uyen is not a person with a good temperament. If you want to get along with me, I will of course treat you with courtesy. If you have other thoughts..."
