Chapter 6 — Van Quan's Friendship and Ambivalence

Trieu Tuan's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "Third sister, this is the meat I personally tore for you." My heart skipped a beat, I had to shyly pick up a piece of chopsticks and put it in my mouth. Um... As expected, it's spicy and delicious. After eating, I still want to eat more... This meal I ate and drank to my heart's content. Trieu Tuan leisurely took a sip of tea, then asked: "What have you been thinking these past three days, Third Sister?" I was originally planning to secretly pick up another piece of meat, but when I heard that, my movements immediately stiffened. The chopsticks fell onto the plate on the table, making a clanking sound. … In the elegant room, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop to the ground. After a while, I cautiously asked: "Your Highness wants me to be the Crown Princess... is it because you have feelings for me?" Before coming here, I had already thought of a response. How could Trieu Tuan like me? Surely he will give some reason why he wants to marry me. At that time, I will tell him: "I'm sorry, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Previously, I had just annulled my marriage with the Marquis of Chu Shi Tu Hien Binh Palace. Now I just want to find a husband who truly loves and protects me." Unexpectedly, Trieu Tuan continued without hesitation: "Did you misunderstand anything about me, Third Sister?" I looked at him in confusion. His eyes were as deep as the calm sea, just staring at me intently. After that, he snorted coldly: "I have endured in Tran Chau for many years, and have endured long enough. Now how can I continue to mistreat myself, marrying a woman I don't love as my wife?" I was stunned. Carefully pondering the meaning of his words... Isn't he trying to say... Trieu Tuan slowly said: "Third sister, I have loved you for a long time." "Don't you know?"... In my heart, I was secretly thinking about how to escape. My body had just secretly moved a few inches to the side when I suddenly lost my balance and fell to the ground. Trieu Tuan instinctively stood up to help me. When he reached out, his sleeve accidentally knocked over the tea cup, and the tea splashed onto his robe, leaving a stain. Trieu Tuan immediately frowned, his eyes clearly filled with hatred. He called out in a low voice: "Where are you, change your clothes." The two elegant palace servants outside hurriedly entered. Trieu Tuan stood up and went behind the screen, but still did not forget to instruct: "Watch Miss Minh Tam carefully. If she disappears, you can disappear with her." Waiting for Trieu Tuan to change his clothes, he returned, his eyes looking at me were so sincere that they couldn't be more sincere. My cheeks were hot as if burned by fire. "Burp..." I quickly covered my mouth with my hand, just wanting to find a cave to hide in. Trieu Tuan used one hand to push away the hand covering my mouth, and with the other hand held a clean white towel, wiping the oil stains from the corner of my lips for me. He chuckled softly: "It seems that Third Sister is very satisfied with today's banquet full of rabbit meat."... The door of the elegant room opened wide. Trieu Tuan seemed to deliberately want everyone to see the Third Miss Minh Phu having a meal with the reigning Crown Prince at Tu Hien restaurant. At that moment, a series of small footsteps mixed with the chatter and laughter of the crowd came. "Unexpectedly, although Miss Minh Tam behaves somewhat rudely, when dressed carefully, she is as beautiful as a fairy!" "Brother Chu, tell me honestly. A woman like that cannot even catch your eye, have you already had someone in your heart for a long time?" "Brother Chu, you and Miss Minh Tam have broken off the marriage, so the next day I will go to Minh Palace to marry you, you won't let me. stomach?" Not long after, Chu Diep's cold voice each word clearly passed into my ears: "Don't mind." The group of people talked and laughed as they passed by the elegant door. Just by glancing inside, they immediately saw Trieu Tuan smiling and looking intently at me. As for me, my face was red and my body was red

Her soft body leaned slightly forward, looking at him both embarrassed and angry. After wiping off the oil stains from the corner of my mouth, Trieu Tuan seriously folded the towel and put it in his sleeve. I looked at a series of his actions and couldn't help but understand. Just now, his clothes were only splashed with a little tea, but his face immediately turned sour and he immediately changed into another outfit. But now he puts the dirty towel he just wiped my mouth into his sleeve. He's not seriously ill, is he? However, this scene that fell into everyone's eyes was like two first lovers, compatible to the point of incompatibility. … My wrist suddenly hurt. I don't know when Chu Diep walked in. He pulled me behind him. I vaguely heard him lean close to my ear and say in a low voice: "Go quickly." Perhaps Chu Diep thought I was being bullied by Trieu Tuan. Immediately after that, he bowed to Trieu Tuan: "Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Trieu Tuan's eyes indifferently glanced at Chu Diep's face, then passed him, looking towards the princes of the family who had just entered. He said: "If Third Miss Minh has annulled her marriage to Prince Chu, then I intend to let her join the Eastern Palace and become the Crown Prince. You must have no objections, right?" As soon as Trieu Tuan finished speaking, everyone bowed in unison, their faces filled with anxiety: "We have no objections." Especially the young master who had just announced that he wanted to go to Minh Palace to marry him. To show his loyalty, he hastily spoke up to flatter Trieu Tuan: "Miss Minh Tam is Prime Minister Minh's daughter. She has a beautiful natural appearance and great beauty. She and His Highness the Crown Prince are truly a match made in heaven." As soon as the words ended, the others also competed to flatter Trieu Tuan. Only Chu Diep stood there stunned, not saying a word. …
