Chapter 3 — After the Reconciliation Card Was Switched, I Obediently Reconciliated

At that time, my mother knelt down and cried, begging my father to forgive me, but in return I was only beaten more severely. Father said it was mother who pampered me. Since then, you no longer love me, but on the contrary, you pamper Linh Lung, born to you. It was not until after the mother passed away that we truly experienced the hidden struggles within the harem. I feel the military grace like flowing water. I feel the warmth of human love. That's why we broke down and made a fuss, wanting to reclaim the justice that belongs to us. Only now do we understand that there is no such thing as fairness in this world. Only people's hearts are biased. When no one is biased towards us anymore. So whatever we do is wrong. I decided not to do anything more. Listen to the arrangement and get along. Not long after returning to the palace, a little eunuch came in to report that Co Tri Phong had arrived. I was just stunned for a moment. The love from the past is still clearly visible before our eyes, but that person seems to be very far away. Sigh softly, if you want to cut it off, then cut it cleanly. I told the little eunuch: "Please come back with Tieu Marquis Co. Just say that this palace is still sick and it's not convenient to meet people. In addition, tell him that he and I no longer have any relationship, tell him to respect the person in front of him." Co Tri Phong is the husband that your mother chose for me. The queen mother said that the palace is full of deception and calculation, with my personality I'm afraid I can't compete with others. She wanted me to follow Co Tri Phong to the border to settle. The mother said that although life on the border is miserable, people's hearts are bright and brilliant. Before, we did not understand that brilliant brilliance. But now, I want to have that brilliant clarity. I want to go to the homeland that your mother once mentioned to see it with my own eyes. Moreover, since I was planning to get along, the engagement between me and Co Tri Phong was also canceled. We really don't have any relationship anymore. Outside the door, after listening to the little eunuch's words, Co Tri Phong worriedly asked:

"If Princess Phuc Ninh was sick, why didn't she invite the doctor to come and examine her?"

The door of my palace is tightly closed, just like the days of detention before. But he never thought, during the time I was detained, whether there was ever a shortage of medicine or a teacher. The little eunuch answered very bluntly: "Princess Phuc Ninh offended the Holy Majesty and the Royal Highness, but which royal physician dares to come to examine her? Before, the princess almost died of illness and no one came. Now it's just a minor illness, so no one dares to bother the imperial physician. Moreover, if the imperial physician dares to come, I'm afraid he doesn't need his future anymore! Gu Tieu Marquis, if you still think about your future, it's best not to come anymore!" The little eunuch quipped and then unceremoniously slammed the door. Over the past three months, he has followed me in eating rice and swallowing vegetables, accumulating a lot of resentment in his heart. He also clearly remembers the day my father punished me, it was Co Tri Phong who escorted me back. Publicly saying that my virtues are not worthy of my position, saying that I have become the appearance of a sour woman. My face is gone before the entire harem. The master lost face, the slave lost even more face. The master is not favored, the slave is even more despised by others. Him understand clearly that master and servant are one body. He is much more loyal to me than Co Tri Phong. Co Tri Phong looked at the cold, empty gate in front of him. He raised his hand to knock on the door, but then stopped. He didn't know I would get sick, so he began to feel uneasy. These past three months... How sick have I become? Did he really have to endure a lot of humiliation? But he just stood there quietly looking at the door, not daring to knock anymore. The little eunuch's words reminded him. Now, what identity do you use to knock on this door? A ray of loss quietly crept into my heart. He did not dare to think further that after this, he and I would never see each other again.

"Brother Tri Phong!"

A sweet voice rang out. A figure in pink clothes flew gently like a butterfly's wings. Linh Lung smiled brightly, took Co Tri Phong's arm, and said coyly: "Mother said that you have entered the palace, but you still did not come to look for me! Luckily, this princess always has you in her heart, and still remembers to come find you!"
