Chapter 3 — When the General refused to kiss me on my wedding day, I used 10 miles of red pages to buy a royal family

Through each series of winding corridors, one after another, we quickly arrived in front of the study room. A man wearing a tight black shirt, tall figure, cold and serious appearance, took a step forward, blocking in front of us. That is Prince Tuc's close guard - Da Anh.

“Little king.”

His voice was cold as ice, without any temperature. Tieu Thua Tu was not at all afraid of him, and had no intention of stopping.

"Uncle Da Anh, is my father inside? I have something as great as heaven to tell you!" “haha… that's it… a good thing is as big as heaven”

Da Anh's eyes slowly fell from above, stopping on me. That look was so cold that it made people hallucinate — as if he was looking at someone who had died long ago. I didn't dodge, just calmly faced his eyes, never backing down. At this moment, the study door was pushed open from the inside. A low voice, carrying a clear magnetic timbre, rang out from inside.

“Put it in.”

Hearing the order, Da Anh then slightly leaned to one side, creating a path. Tieu Thua Tu immediately grabbed my hand and pulled me quickly into the study room. The study room is extremely large, the space is deep and quiet, the light inside is a bit dark, not too bright. In the air, a faint scent of ink spreads, mixed with a vague scent of medicinal herbs, sometimes hidden and sometimes present, making it difficult for people to distinguish clearly. A man is sitting behind a large, sturdy script. He wore a jet-black royal robe, the fabric was heavy but calm, his long black hair was tied back with a delicate jade hairpin. His appearance was so handsome that it looked like a god had descended to earth, but his face carried some paleness of his illness, making that beauty even colder. He didn't look at me from beginning to end, but only kept his eyes on his son. In those eyes, there was clearly a rare ray of warmth that outsiders could hardly see.

“Thua Tu, what's so noisy?”

Tieu Thua Tu, as if offering an extremely valuable treasure, raised the tray of 'golden treasure' he held in his arms high in front of him.

"Father! Viewers!"

At this moment, the man's eyes finally moved from the tray of golden treasures, slowly moving to my face. Those were eyes so deep that one could not see the bottom. Calm, cold, and with a sharpness that can see through everything, making it almost impossible for the other person to hide anything. It seemed that any disguise, when standing before his eyes, had no place to hide. He is Prince Tuc - Tieu Huyen Nghi. I welcomed his gaze, my expression was neither arrogant nor cowardly, I slowly bowed and bowed.

“Goddess Tham Nguyet Kien, pay your respects to the king.”

He never spoke up to tell me to stand up. He just opened his mouth leisurely, his voice so calm that no joy or sadness could be heard.

“Miss Shen, shouldn't you be at the general's palace today?”

“Why did you bring your bride price and run to this king's palace?”

Tieu Huyen Nghi's words were both cold and sharp. If it were a normal woman, I'm afraid she would have been so scared that she would have knelt down on the floor and begged for mercy at this moment rank. At this time, I finished the ceremony and immediately stood up straight, my back leaning forward, not bending at all. I raised my head and looked directly into his deep eyes.

“The king was joking.”

"The threshold of the general's palace, this goddess has truly never passed through."

“But it's not that goddesses aren't qualified, it's that they're blind and don't know how to see people.”

“As for the king's threshold…”

I stopped slightly for a moment. The corners of his lips curled up, pulling out a faint smile.

"High or not, you have to try it to know."

“Goddess coming here today is definitely not a joke.”

“But I want to discuss a transaction with the prince.”

The ends of Tieu Huyen Nghi's eyebrows slightly raised, almost imperceptible. It seemed like this was the first time he met a woman who dared to talk to him in such a way.

"Transaction?"

He leaned back in his chair, his long fingers gently tapping on the table. One more. That knocking sound, beat by beat, pounded into people's hearts, causing people to unconsciously feel a sense of panic.

“Tell me, let's hear it.”

I took a deep breath and said the words I had long prepared in my heart clearly.

“The king needs silver.”

"My Shen family, we don't lack money."

“According to what I know, the soldiers in the royal estate have not been given food for three months.”

"The border occasionally stirs up conflicts. The troops and weapons are worn out and are in urgent need of being repaired and replaced."

“These things all require a huge amount of money.”

"And the money distributed by the Ministry of Households, passed through each hand and was lost, until it reached the royal family, I'm afraid there won't be much left."

"In the court, those who view the royal family as a thorn in the side are not a few."

With every word I said, Tieu Huyen Nghi's eyes became a little colder. The pressure in the study room is getting lower and lower, getting heavier and heavier. Even Little Thua Tu, who was standing next to me, realized something was wrong and quietly hid behind me. Only me, from beginning to end, my face remained unchanged.

“But I need an identity, a support.”

"An identity is enough to make the general's palace, make Ha Van Chu, make the entire capital raise its head and look up."

“I need to use an even more glorious marriage to wash away today's humiliation.”

“The position of Princess Tuc is the best choice.”

I'm done talking.
