Chapter 2 — Bride of the World

She listened carefully and did not continue to cause trouble anymore. But I know that since childhood, my sister has been spoiled and spoiled. She wasn't really willing, she was just forced to compromise.
"Phu Cu, go to the warehouse and get some bride gifts from the palace and bring them here. Just say I need to use them. You choose yourself, choose some gorgeous jewelry and dresses."
Phu Cu is my close maid. She grew up with me since childhood. She is closer to me than the other two sisters. Since childhood, the eldest sister and younger sister relied on the pampering of their parents, despised not wanting to be friends with me, and even bullied me at will. The relationship between them and me can be said to be pitiful. My younger sister was even happy when she saw her mother punishing me. They are children placed in their hearts and loved by their parents. Of course, my first revenge attack must be towards them.
“I understand, slave.”
Originally a bride price for me from the palace, Phu Cu quickly took back a few sets of head jewelry and dresses.
“Second Miss, not counting the royal concubine's formal clothes, these are the most splendid of all the ordinary clothes.”
"You work, I feel secure."
Gorgeous but not beyond the norm. Very good.

I put on the dress Phu Cu brought home, put on all the jewelry, and went to the garden to admire the flowers. At this hour, her younger sister Hua Niem Tran likes to play on the swings in the garden the most. Certainly not unexpected. After we arrived at the garden, Hua Niem Tran was playing on the swing there. Seeing me dressed splendidly, her eyes immediately lit up.
“Hua Niem Thu, where did you get the money to buy jewelry and dresses?”
Because I was not favored, Hua Niem Tran did not even call me sister, but directly called me by name.
"This Luu Quang dress is made from Nguyet Anh silk. It's hard to buy even thousands of gold. I don't even have it, where did you get it?"
Hua Niem Tran's attitude is very aggressive.
“Did you steal money from your mother?”
I scoffed.
"You also said that even thousands of gold are difficult to buy. If mother lost that much money, the matter would have been so loud that the whole palace would know, so why do you still let me stand here and brag?"
I raised my hand, intentionally showing off Luu Quang's dress, and especially stroked the gold hairpin on my bun so that Hua Niem Tran could see.
"Everything is given by the palace, only for the Four Emperors, me alone."
“This is a palace reward for the entire palace, why is it only for you?”
Hua Niem Tran was dissatisfied, her eyes fixed on my brooch.
"The rewards in the palace have always been divided equally among the sisters in the palace. The rewards for the department head must be chosen by me and the head sister first, and the rest will be your turn. This time, why are you the only one who has it? I want that brooch, give it to me!"
Hua Niem Tran reached out to ask for my jewelry. I gently curled my lips, revealing a satisfied smile. Hua Niem Tran has been spoiled by her mother, and has always had everything she wanted. The brooch on my head is a unique gift from the palace. Once she sees it right, she will do anything.
"This is my bride price, just for me, not a reward for the whole palace. Only I have it, you don't have it."
"If I see it right, it's mine! If you don't show it, I'll tell my mother!"
“Even if you tell your mother, I won't give it to you either."
Seeing my tough attitude, Hua Niem Tran was immediately unhappy and directly robbed.
“Ah! Third Miss, what are you doing?”
Phu Cu cried out in horror. Hua Niem Tran snatched the hairpin from my head.
“If I see it right, it's mine! If you have the ability, go tell your mother and see if she will be the boss for you!”
Hua Niem Tran took the maid and left, before leaving, she said:
“The things in the palace are so beautiful, but mother won't let me see them. If people don't let me go, I'll go on my own. Everything is in the warehouse, we have to go there to choose the most beautiful jewelry."
Hua Niem Tran smiled happily and left. I looked at her back and laughed coldly. Just take it. Take as much as possible. At dinner, Hua Niem Tran wore jewelry taken from the warehouse. The dress was made according to my size, so she wore it a bit loose. But she still took a few sets back and told the maid to make them smaller. I stared at the jewelry in her hair and started to cause trouble.
“Father, today my younger sister stole my golden brooch.”
Parents frowned.
“Eat without talking, sleep without talking. Is such a small thing worth mentioning? I'm an older sister, give in to my younger sister a little."
His father's voice was filled with impatience.
“Stop talking, let's eat.”
"That is the bride price given by the palace to the fourth emperor's concubine. Is this not worth mentioning?"
Hearing that, everyone's faces changed and they simultaneously raised their heads to look at me.
"If on the big wedding day, I talk about this with the Fourth Prince, saying that the Four Prince's concubine's bride price is missing, and is also divided by his mother's family, you say, with the Fourth Prince's temperament, he will not only cause trouble for me but also not forgive Hua Palace, right?"
I bowed my head and smiled faintly.
