According to "Vietnamese history anecdotes" by historian Nguyen Khac Thuan, Princess Ve Quoc Truong 's real name was Le Ngoc Duong, born in 1439, but by 1448 she was still mute and unable to speak.
According to the laws of the Later Le Dynasty, when a princess reaches the age of 16, the king will choose a concubine and then take care of organizing the wedding ceremony.
Even though she was young and mute, in November 1448, Princess Ve Quoc Truong was forced to marry Le Quat, Le Thu's son. She was only 10 years old at that time.
The wedding of Princess Ve Quoc Truong was recorded in the book "Dai Viet Complete Annals" (records, volume 11): "In November, the king 's eldest daughter , Princess Ve Quoc Truong, was married to Le Quat. At that time, the Princess was only ten years old and was mute and could not speak.
The king came down to the decree and assigned the official Trinh Khac Phuc to officiate the wedding. At that time, Le Thu took care of the wedding arrangements, and those who were interested in the news immediately competed to bring wealth in the hope of enjoying wealth. Embroidered brocade, fabric, fabric, silk... that were sold on the street were all fought over to be bought by them.
Le Thu also forced mandarins in all towns and roads to buy enough buffalos, cows and other offerings. The local mandarins also wanted to please Le Thu, so they forced the soldiers and people to contribute a lot."
Historian, Professor. Nguyen Khac Thuan wrote the following commentary in the book "Vietnamese History Anecdotes: "If a commoner's daughter suffers from muteness, it is inevitable that she will be lonely all her life, but as a princess, the fate of the National Guard is different. Indeed: Not only did she become the daughter-in-law of a Thai lieutenant, but she also became a daughter-in-law at the age of ten.
Lieutenant Le Thu certainly did not expect his son to marry a mute woman, and Le Thu's son Le Quat probably did not expect it even more. But, the opportunity to scoop up wealth from all over the world suddenly came, a greedy person like Le Thu could not ignore it. Even the flatterer has no chance to bribe Le Thu."
In history books, there are few princess weddings that have as great an impact on contemporary society as the wedding of the Princess Guard.
His son-in-law Le Quat came from a very influential family and was the son of the founder of the country Le Thu. Queen Mother Nguyen Thi Anh, in the name of the king, approved the marriage between Princess Ngoc Duong and Le Quat to establish a close relationship and gain more support to ensure the stability of King Le Nhan Tong's throne.
According to regulations in the Association, the princess's wedding must have 6 wedding ceremonies chosen by Kham Thien Giam, held on 6 different days, each ceremony has its own items such as: areca leaves, wine, cattle, gold and silver. …
To make his son's wedding a grand affair, General Le Thu sent someone to go shopping. Mandarins in Thang Long also raced to buy offerings to celebrate, causing items, especially silk brocade, to become scarce.
Later, in 1459, King Le Nhan Tong was murdered and usurped the throne by his brother Nghi Dan. At this time, Le Thu and a number of high-ranking officials plotted to overthrow Nghi Dan but failed and were all killed.
After the incident, history books do not clearly record the lives of Princess Ngoc Duong and her concubine Le Quat.
