Chapter 4 — We Don't Fight or Win, We Just Quietly Take It All

My father saw that I was not there in those paintings and knew that the Queen already hated the Giang family. He was a little panicked. He stared at the face that looked so much like my mother's, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Beauty is the only thing your mother left you, you must use it well."

I obediently bowed my head in agreement. My father once again mentioned me to Ly Minh Chieu. And this time, Ly Minh Chieu nodded tiredly and agreed to meet me once. Unlike last time, this time my father ordered someone to make me look gorgeous. I was like a gift brought before Ly Minh Chieu, letting him decide whether to stay or stay. He looked at me, for a moment stunned, but without emotion. After a long silence, he coldly spoke.

“As long as you promise me that when your sister returns, you are willing to give up your position as Crown Princess, I will marry you.”

"You don't need to worry, until then, you will still be my concubine."

I shook my head and said an extremely disrespectful sentence.

“I agree with Your Highness. At that time, can Your Highness allow me to leave the Eastern Palace?”

"Goddess has someone she loves and has a place she wants to go."

He breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his defenses.

“So, very good.”

Seeing that the Crown Prince chose me, the Queen did not make things difficult for me. On the contrary, she smiled and took down the Dong Chau earring from her ear and gave it to me.

"It's a child, this palace also feels a little more secure."

When Ly Minh Chieu came to pick me up, he frowned when he saw the earrings I was wearing.

"This was originally Minh Nguyet's belongings, now you just keep it for her, don't give rise to unwanted thoughts."

I'm not arrogant or self-deprecating.

"The Queen's gift, I do not dare to refuse. Your Highness is unattainable to outsiders. To me, you are just a partner. Your Highness looks down on me, I am not pleasing to Your Highness's eyes."

He was so angry that his face turned red, he laughed coldly a few times, then waved his shirt and left. And I went in the opposite direction from him. Walk non-stop, never look back. After a few steps, Ly Minh Chieu rode back, pulled me onto the horse, hugged me and rode together. He gritted his teeth.

"Giang Thien, you are very good! Do you know, even your sister wouldn't dare talk to me like that!"

He was so angry that he forgot to call himself "Miss", but called "I". On the wedding night, Ly Minh Chieu drank a lot of alcohol. He lifted his scarf, hugged my face, and called Giang Minh Nguyet all night. Saying you're not sad is a lie. Anyway, this is the only wedding night of my life. I looked at Ly Minh Chieu's handsome face and carefully remembered this cold and heartless face. I will never be moved by him. Mother Cui was sent by the Queen to get the original soul, and Cong Cong Chu was sent by Her Majesty to give gifts, but were aggressively chased out by Ly Minh Chieu who was drunk. They waited outside the door until midnight. No matter how good your temper is, you can't help it, your face becomes unsightly. It was late at night, I swallowed all my emotions and took off the brooch myself. After helping a drunk Ly Minh Chieu to bed, I walked out of the room, smiling and chatting with Mama Thoi and Duke Chu.

“Today is a happy day for Your Highness. Your Highness is in a good mood, so you should drink more.”

"A while ago, Your Majesty went on a trip, leaving His Highness to take charge of the country. Now Your Majesty has returned. Your Majesty has not rested for half a day, yet again. Busy with marriage."

"His Royal Highness has started to have a fever since yesterday. He has been holding on until now and is already in a coma. It was absolutely not intentional to delay the two of you."

I stuffed the prepared check in my sleeve into the hands of Mama Thoi and Duke Zhou.

"I've ordered someone to prepare a party for the two of you in the front yard. Mom, wait a moment. I know Mom likes to listen to music, so I've already sent someone to invite her."

“Mom, go first, I want to keep Duke Zhou to say a few words.”

Mother Cui was overjoyed and looked at me with satisfaction. She is the Queen's person, no matter what happens to Ly Minh Chieu, she will stand by Ly Minh Chieu. But not the Duke of Zhou, the Duke of Zhou was sent by His Majesty. Regardless of whether he was favored in the palace or not, tomorrow he had to go see Ngu Tien and report back. Ly Minh Chieu is at an important time of handing over the country's leadership. Your Majesty is in his prime, no one knows what he is thinking.
