Chapter 9 — When the General refused to kiss me on my wedding day, I used 10 miles of red pages to buy a royal family

The ball was kicked back by me. Prince Le was stopped by me and couldn't say a word. He couldn't really ask me to recite it in front of everyone. If you spread it out, wouldn't you make yourself a laughing stock? His face, sometimes blue, sometimes white, changed continuously. A young woman sitting below him, dressed as beautifully as a flower, suddenly spoke. She is Princess An, daughter-in-law of Prince Le.

“Oh my, Princess Tuc really has a powerful tongue.”

“It's just that a woman's virtue is not enough to rely on just reciting it.”

“It's even more important to look at actual behavior.”

"I heard that before the princess entered the door, there was quite a commotion."

"In the middle of canceling the marriage, and even forcing the prince to marry him, this... doesn't sound like something a virtuous woman would do?"

She is here to sprinkle salt on the wound. Wanting to force us into a place of "unsatisfactory morality". I looked at her, smiling slightly.

“What Princess An said is right.”

“Just, what is called virtue?”

“Is it called virtue when you are humiliated, endure it, brush your broken teeth and swallow blood into your stomach?”

“Or stand up to protest and protect the dignity of yourself and your family, called virtue?”

“I think, everyone has a different perspective.”

"At least in my eyes, when a woman gets married, she must first have a strong bone."

“If even the wind and bones are gone, then where can the word virtue come from?”

My voice is clear, echoing throughout the main hall.

“As for the forced marriage of the royal family…”

I turned my head and looked at Tieu Huyen Nghi, who was always silent and did not speak. His eyes were so gentle that it seemed like he could squeeze out water.

"The prince and I have long been in love, and have already secretly agreed to live together."

"It's just because the Ha family and I already had a pre-engagement agreement, so we've been patient."

"That day the Ha family humiliated me, my heart was cold and my heart was broken, then I decided to break the shackles and run towards the person I loved."

"The king felt sorry for me for being wronged, so he complied with my 'willingness'."

"This, although against protocol, is reasonable."

"I wonder if any of you sitting here have ever been suddenly moved by the word 'love'?"

These words of mine, spoken with the utmost sincerity, made the listener's heart moved. A naked transaction, painted by me into an anecdote of love that destroys worldly decency. Even I, myself, almost believed it to be true. Many ladies and gentlemen present, their eyes showing some excitement. Princess An's face turned pale. She didn't expect that I could turn white into black, and black into white. Tieu Huyen Nghi looked at me, in those bottomless eyes, there flashed a hint of a smile that was hard to detect. Finally, he spoke up. He did not look at Prince Le, but raised his teacup. Looking towards the sky, he faintly said a sentence.

“This king's concubine, this king will personally teach.”

“No need to bother your uncle.”

Having finished speaking, he stood up.

“Sending guests off.”

Tieu Huyen Nghi's "seeing off" sentence directly ended all this commotion. Prince Le was so angry that his beard trembled. But it can't work. He could only lead a group of relatives and leave in gray. When leaving, Princess An even glared at me fiercely. Anh Those eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment. I know, this feud has already ended. As soon as the person left, the main hall immediately became quiet. The nerves that had been tight inside me finally loosened up. Behind him, there was another layer of cold sweat. Tieu Huyen Nghi walked next to me. He lowered his head to look at me, his eyes somewhat complicated.

“It seems that this king has underestimated you.”

"Death can also be called life by you."

I forced a smile.

“Your Majesty is too complimentary.”

“If not forced by the situation, who would want to be so clever with their tongues?”

He didn't say anything more. Just casually instructing the servants to serve dinner. For lunch, it was me, him, and Tieu Thua Tu, the three of us ate together. The dining table was very quiet. There was only the very soft sound of bowls and chopsticks touching each other. Tieu Thua Tu was very obedient, from beginning to end he bowed his head to eat. Every now and then he would raise his head, sneak a glance at me, and then quickly bow down again. Just like a little squirrel doing something bad and being discovered. I was made fun of by him and gave him a chopstick of sweet and sour fried ribs, which he liked best. He was so happy that his eyes curved into crescent moon shapes. Tieu Huyen Nghi looked at the interaction between us and his eyes softened a bit. After eating, he went to the study room. I took Tieu Thua Tu and walked around the royal palace's garden to eat. The early summer sunlight is warm. The flowers in the garden bloomed brilliantly. Tieu Thua Tu was extremely happy, like a little bird, running back and forth.

“Mother concubine, mother concubine, viewers, are butterflies!” (At this time, let Chili change her name because she has officially become a couple)
