Chapter 5 — Bamboo Burning Brooch

"When the royal princess saw that token, she got angry and smashed an entire set of mandarins. She said that if the Lam family did not bring that girl to confront, she would go to the palace and invite the Queen to judge." Being forced to ask by both sides, sweat immediately appeared on her mother's forehead. She turned to look at me, her eyes both surprised and suspicious. "Luu Cong Cong, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter. This morning, our second daughter clearly went to Ngu Thuc Trai to buy cakes, the whole street can testify. How could she go to Dong Son with Ninh Vuong?" Cong Luu narrowed her eyes. "Oh? What do you mean, Lady Lam, is the Princess slandering your palace?" "I don't dare." Mother quickly admitted her mistake. On normal days, the people she knew were just families like the Marquis of Vinh Ninh Palace. Never interacted with the royal family. Neither the Princess's Palace nor Ninh Vuong's Palace could offend her. Just when his father was still in court and had not returned yet. Seeing that the people of the two palaces were about to lose patience, she gritted her teeth and said: "We only have two young ladies in the Lam family. Please sit and wait for a moment, so I can call both of them to ask questions." Having finished speaking, she quickly sent someone to call the eldest sister. At first, the elder sister didn't even know what was happening. Coming to the lobby with an annoyed look on his face. As soon as she heard that the Princess of Ninh Vuong's palace sent someone to come, her face immediately turned pale, but she still spoke stiffly: "I... I don't know the Royal family at all, do I? You must have misunderstood. We have two young ladies in the Lam family." Look. As expected of my good elder sister. I know that. Whenever she causes trouble, she will definitely find a way to blame it on me. Therefore, before exposing the story of her secretly going back and forth with Ninh Vuong in front of the Princess, I had already left a way out for myself. I deliberately took advantage of Princess Vinh An's time out for a walk to cause friction with her, and even had a fight. I know that Princess Vinh An comes from a noble background. Her mother is the eldest princess of the dynasty, and her maternal grandmother is the Queen Mother. Since childhood, he has been raised like an egg, has an arrogant and arrogant personality, and has never given up to anyone. Sure enough, after fighting with me, Princess Vinh An immediately returned to the palace to call someone. Now Princess Truong wants the Lam family to give an explanation, and will definitely send me back to punish her. "Eldest sister, you can't separate yourself, fight with Princess Vinh An, and go up the mountain to meet Her Royal Highness Ninh Vuong alone, okay?" Elder sister's face was red, sweat pouring down her forehead. Even in her wildest dreams, she would not have thought that a person who has always been careful like me would cause such a big problem today. Even if you want to force me to take the blame for you, you can't do it. Both hands twisted the towel tightly, almost wanting to crush it. She timidly looked at Cong Luu, then nervously glanced at Trinh's mother. Ninh Vuong's concubine came from a prestigious family, lived in luxury since childhood, had a strong personality, and could not tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes. If you follow Cong Luu to Ninh Vuong's palace, it will definitely not end well. But if he doesn't go, he has to plead guilty to fighting with Princess Vinh An. But Princess Vinh An and Princess Truong are not easy people to deal with. Hesitating for a long time, the sister could only watch helplessly as Mother Trinh signaled the ladies to hold her. "If the Second Miss has admitted her crime, then invite the Second Miss to follow the old slave back to Princess Truong's residence." Hearing this, Cong Luu immediately understood and waved his hand to hold the eldest sister. "Lady Lam, please come with us to meet the Princess Royal Highness." As for mother... Two daughters at the same time caused a big disaster. I'm afraid that from now on in the capital, no one will praise her as a virtuous and virtuous person. The first princess was married for many years before she got married

The only daughter is Princess Vinh An, of course she cherishes her like a treasure. Now I scratched the face of Princess Vinh An, Princess Truong is so angry that she grits her teeth. As soon as he saw me, he immediately ordered the execution. It was so threatening that I quickly knelt down, bowed my head, and begged. "Your Highness forgive me. The goddess scratched the Princess not by accident, but on purpose. It was only because the goddess knew a secret and wanted to meet His Highness that she reluctantly resorted to this tactic." "Secret?" Princess Truong's raised hand stopped in mid-air. The phoenix's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light circulating in the bottom of his eyes, from top to bottom he looked at me. He is over forty but has been very well taken care of. Between his eyebrows and the corners of his eyes, there is still a glimpse of the past. It's just that at this time, his face was full of murderous intent, and the pressure was so heavy that the maids standing in the palace didn't even dare to breathe loudly. "Do you know which type of person this palace hates the most?" He slowly retracted his hand, smoothed his sleeve, then walked step by step in front of me. "Those are the people who consider themselves smart, intending to use words to manipulate this palace." "I don't dare." I prostrated myself on the ground, my forehead pressed tightly against the cold yellow tile floor. "Since I dare to come here, I have fully prepared. As long as Your Highness gives me a cup of tea, if what I say is even half a lie, I will endure the torture of thousands of knives." The princess was silent for a moment. I feel your eyes like a needle piercing the back of my neck. After a while, the person suddenly chuckled. "Stand up and talk." I obeyed and stood up, bowed my head and stood at attention, my eyes only daring to stop at the hem of her dress embroidered with gold thread. "Speak." The person returned and sat on the chair, raised the tea cup and took a sip, leisurely saying: "If the secret you told me is not worth it, then the twenty taels just now will not be missing a single tael." I took a deep breath, raised my head and looked straight at him.
