Chapter 10 — Truc Ma planned to make me his concubine, I became someone he had to kneel and worship

The chief eunuch next to the Emperor quickly ran over, leaned into Mo Lam An's ear and whispered a few words. Mo Lam An said that His Majesty had something to discuss with him. After arranging the palace maids to serve him, I followed the great eunuch and left. I saw a bunch of fat carp in the lotus pond. Just make a feeding gesture and they would immediately wag their tails and swim over, every time it was effective, extremely interesting.

“Quan Lan, is that you?”

A truly profound call. I turned my head, but I didn't expect it to be Trieu Van Dinh - that indestructible soul. His life was truly great, being beaten like that by Mo Lam An and recovering so quickly. It's true that he's the type that's good at taking beatings. It's a pity that when he sees it, he loses all his appetite and his good mood disappears.

“It's really you, Quan Lan.”

He took a few quick steps towards me, then suddenly stopped, frowned, his voice became heavier, with a questioning tone:

“Why does she tie the woman's hair in a bun?”

I opened my mouth without being polite:

"If I get married and don't tie my wife's hair in a bun, then do I tie my hair in a bun in front of your ancestors' graves?!"

Trieu Van Dinh was stunned for a moment before slowly reacting:

"You're married? Who can you marry? Quan Lan, have you been hiding something between me and you from him?"

As he spoke, Trieu Van Dinh was about to step forward and pull me, I leaned away and kicked him, extremely arrogant:

“I marry the Nine Kings of the reigning dynasty!”

Hope flashed in his eyes again:

"Ninth Prince? Ha, Quan Lan, even if you're joking, you should choose something that makes people believe it. Are you a concubine for some high-ranking mandarin? If that's the case, why don't you choose me, after all you have to do it..."

I didn't say another word, just swung my hand and slapped him hard in the face.

“What a stupid thing that can't understand human language!”

Mo Lam An explained everything between me and Trieu Van Dinh clearly to the Emperor and Queen Mother. They think that a woman's reputation is indeed very important, but they absolutely should not scrutinize it to that extent, and should not consider it more important than human life. The Emperor became even more angry, directly blaming the department in charge of changing customs and habits, demanding that they set a deadline to completely uproot this type of wrong ideology and deeply rooted bad customs. Trieu Van Dinh put his hand on his burning cheek, his eyes both shocked and humiliated. Finally, he was completely angry and immediately rushed forward to hold me tightly.

“Hai Quan Lan!”

“Just what kind of man is it that has spoiled her into such an unruly temperament?!”

My face turned cold, I was ready to slap him again, when an unceremonious voice rang out next to me:

"Trieu Van Dinh, what are you doing here? My father is looking for you, go over there quickly!"

I followed the voice and looked over. The person who just arrived was Princess Chi Nhan. She is much plumper than before. I heard that a few months ago she gave birth to a son for Trieu Van Dinh. Seeing me, she stopped, a look of disbelief flashed through her eyes. I nonchalantly adjusted my outfit and looked at the princess, with a fake smile on my face:

"He has blind eyes, but you must recognize this palace uniform. Since you have met this princess, why haven't you knelt down yet?" down?!"

Trieu Van Dinh's heart beat loudly, as if something extremely important was completely out of his control, a feeling of panic quickly spread. His expression was panicked, he couldn't help but stare at me, speaking incoherently:

“King? How could she become a Princess? How could it be possible… How could he, the Nine Kings,…”

The palace maid had just gone to get food for the fish to help me, but at this moment she also returned, her attitude neither arrogant nor condescending:

“This is the main concubine of the Nine Kings. Princess and Crown Prince, you two should have bowed and worshiped."

After all, Princess Chi Nhan is a royal family member. With just a glance, she recognized that this palace maid was a servant next to His Majesty, so she had to kneel down to pay her respects:

“Meet the Ninth Princess.”

At the same time, she also glanced at Trieu Van Dinh, her eyes were gloomy, her tone was slightly raised, as if she was taking the opportunity to vent her anger:

"You don't even kneel when you see the Princess, do you want to be punished?!"
