Chapter 2 — When the General refused to kiss me on my wedding day, I used 10 miles of red pages to buy a royal family

It's just that the robe is a bit wrinkled, as if no one has taken care of it for a long time. He was squatting alone in the corner of the wall, his small face covered in dirt, looking from east to west, probably taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention to sneak out. A pair of bright black eyes, staring expectantly at my gift boxes. Especially the jade treasure chests are being opened for inspection. There was no greed in his eyes, only pure curiosity and innocent desire. Like a small animal abandoned on the street. Somewhere in my heart, it suddenly felt like someone gently touched me and softened a bit. I recognize him. He is the Sixth Prince, Tieu Thua Tu. He is the son of Prince Tuc, Tieu Huyen Nghi. And Tieu Huyen Nghi is the younger brother of His Majesty the current emperor, and also the youngest son of the deceased emperor. Tieu Thua Tu's mother died early, so life in the palace was not as expected. Today, I'm afraid that if I followed a royal family member out to see the excitement, I would get lost in the crowd of people. I took a step and walked towards him. Tri Xuan wanted to stop me, but was forced back by a look from me. Everyone's eyes followed my footsteps and moved. I walked up to him, slowly bent down and sat down. Try to make your voice a little more gentle.

“Little friend.”

He was startled by my fear and his body immediately shrank back. A pair of big, round eyes looked at me with alertness. I slowed down my movements, from the nearest gift chest next to me, took out a tray full of gold bars as small as beans. The bright golden light, under the illuminating afternoon light, was so dazzling that it was almost impossible for people to open their eyes and look straight. I took that heavy tray of gold and stuffed it into his arms.

“Little friend, I will use these gifts to buy your father to be my husband, is that okay?”

Little prince Tieu Thua Tu was stunned by the heavy tray of 'golden treasure' in his heart. He opened his dark eyes wide, looked at the gold bars in his hand, then raised his head to look at me. The tiny mouth opened in a round circle. The surrounding people instantly exploded.

"Crazy! This Miss Tham family must be so excited that she's going crazy!"

"Does she know what she's talking about? That's the Luc Royal Family!"

"Using money to buy the prince's father to be his husband? This story has never been heard before!"

"This is a place where people are teasing the royal family. Does she not want to live anymore?"

Tri Xuan's face was pale and bloodless. She quickly ran over, wanting to pull me up.

"Eldest lady, stop scaring me! Quickly stand up!"

I don't move. I just look at this little child in front of me. His father - Prince Tuc, Tieu Huyen Nghi, a man with a heavy army in hand, had power and sway over the court. One year ago, Princess Tuc passed away due to illness, and to this day the position of mother-in-law in the royal palace is still vacant. Ha Van Chu made me lose face. Then I will marry a man a hundred times more noble than him and take back this dignity myself. I want the entire capital to know. It's not that I can't marry Tham Nguyet Kien. Which is I despise his general's palace. Tieu Thua Tu finally recovered. He hugged the tray of 'golden treasure' tightly, his small eyebrows furrowed tightly. He spoke in a childish and immature voice, with uncertainty in his voice.

“You… are you telling the truth?”

"Using these things, can you buy my father?"

I nodded, smiling gently.

“Of course it's true.”

“I still have a lot, a hundred times more, a thousand times more of these things.”

“As long as your father nods, these things, along with mine, are all yours.”

Tieu Thua Tu's eyes lit up. He's not because of the gold, but because of that last sentence.

“You… will you be mine too?”

“Will you be like your mother, stay by my side and play with me?”

My heart softens slightly. I reached out my hand and gently wiped away the dirt on his face.

“I will play with you and buy you lots of delicious food and interesting toys.”

“I will never let you sit alone and huddle in the corner again.”

His eye sockets instantly turned red. Sparkling tears swirled inside, but stubbornly refused to fall. He nodded forcefully.

“I will take you to find your father!”

He hugged the golden tray tightly and staggered up from the ground. Then he reached out a small hand and held my finger tightly.

“You follow me!”

Just like that. In the terrified eyes of the entire capital city. I, a newlywed, have just been divorced. Leading the Luc Prince's hand in reigning court. Behind is the bride-price procession stretching ten miles. The atmosphere was strong, the group continued straight towards the end of the street. That place is Prince Tuc's palace. The tightly closed large gate of the general's palace finally opened slowly not long after I left. Ha Van Chu, dressed in a bright red outfit, stood in front of the door. He looked at the empty street without a soul, then looked down at his feet, at the red veil covering his head that I had thrown back. His face was pale. The doorkeeper of Tuc prince's palace, when he saw his little prince returning with a woman wearing a phoenix crown and a scarf over her shoulders, her chin almost fell to the ground. What's more, behind that woman there was a long line of wedding offerings that was so long that one could not see the end. Tieu Thua Tu was completely indifferent to those things... He held my hand tightly, just like that pulling me a smooth path, without encountering any obstacles, straight into the royal palace.

"Father! Father!"

His clear, crisp voice rang out, echoing intermittently in the quiet royal palace, further highlighting the silence here.
