Chapter 12 — After My Father Inducted Seven Nuns, They Immediately Prepared Me A Timetable
Looking at the begonia tree planted by my mother every year, it is in full bloom. Think for a moment then answer:
“No way.”
“Because they didn't leave.”
I smiled slightly.
"They are just taking the paths that mother left for me to go further."
Later, every time the capital mentioned the story of my father taking in seven concubines at once. No one says it's a myth anymore. They said that the lady of Dinh Vien Marquis Palace was a person with a good fate. Lost my mother at an early age. But there are seven concubines who protect and love him. Every time I hear those words. I just smiled. I am not a person with a good fate. It's because my mother loves me very much. My lover. So even though I can't accompany you for the rest of my life. He still finds seven rays of light for me. And we can finally grow up in those rays of light. Little by little. At the end of that year, Dinh Vien Marquis welcomed a special guest. There are no holy orders. There are no ostentatious rituals. The royal concubine only took a few of her confidants out of the palace in disguise and personally went to the Marquis's residence. When the news came, even my father was startled. He quickly led me out to welcome me. The noble concubine looked around the Marquis' palace and smiled:
“Today, this palace does not come here with the identity of Hien Concubine.”
My father clasped his hands:
“I don't understand what you mean, ma'am.”
Hien Phi put down the tea cup.
“So this palace speaks frankly.”
"At the spring banquet a few years ago, this palace met Miss Hua for the first time."
"This year, I heard that she single-handedly supported the Marquis's residence, maintained her mother's family business, handled the family affairs well, and also helped several gentlemen open schools, clinics, and entertainment halls."
“To be honest, this palace really likes this child.”
My father paused. We are also nervous in our hearts. Hien Phi looked at me. His eyes were a little softer.
“This palace has a son.”
"It's the eldest son of the Emperor."
The entire hall immediately became quiet. Hien Phi continued to say:
"Since last year's spring banquet, he has mentioned you many times in front of this palace."
“It says there is no shortage of talented women in the capital.”
"But there is only one woman who knows how to preserve her mother's inheritance, who knows how to protect those around her, who knows how to stand firm in the midst of storms."
"He also said that if he gets married in the future, he only wants to marry someone like that."
My father was completely stunned. I was also stunned. Even the sound of the wind outside seemed to be quiet. It's been a long time. My father carefully asked:
“Your highness... is this the First Prince's intention?”
Hien Phi burst out laughing.
"Of course."
"If it weren't for him kneeling in front of this palace and begging for three days, why would this palace need to personally go to the Marquis's residence?"
I was stunned.
“Have I ever met the Great Prince?”
Hien Phi looked at me. The smile in the corner of his eyes deepened.
"The first spring banquet I entered the palace."
“When others look at you to see a joke.”
“It looked at me.”
“When the palace called me to the heavenly palace to look at the accounts.”
“He stood behind the screen and listened from beginning to end.”
My face immediately became hot. Hien Phi laughed:
“He came back and told the palace.”
“Everyone says that women should be gentle and obedient.”
“But he likes a girl who knows how to read books, knows how to manage a house, knows how to protect others.”
Speaking of this. The concubine looked straight into my eyes.
"This palace is not here to celebrate the wedding today."
“Not even coming forced kiss.”
"This palace just asked me a question on behalf of my son."
“If you want to get married in the future.”
“Are you willing to give it a chance?”
This whole life. I have faced uncles who intentionally caused difficulties. Having faced countless rumors in the capital. Used to face books filled with words. But there has never been a time that has made my heart beat like this. Right when we were still frantic. Suddenly, familiar laughter rang out outside the yard. Concubine Liu led Concubine Do, Concubine Tan and everyone in. The girls had already gone out to start a career. Today I returned to the palace to have the Marquis's year-end dinner. As soon as Aunt Lieu walked in, she smiled:
“Looks like we're back just in time.”
Do Di Nuong looked at my red face.
“The lady looks at the books even more calmly than the Marquis.”
Concubine Qin crossed her arms.
“But when this happens, I don't know what to say.”
