Chapter 27
Chapter 27 — Brother Poinsettia Forced Me to Replace Him as Official
Initially, we only wanted to reduce the number of days at court by half. I can swear. At that time I was just lazy. Absolutely no great intentions. But who would have thought that my sister could actually do it. On the first day of entering the court, her Majesty called her to the Royal Study Room. I had mentally prepared the whole family to pack their luggage and flee at night. As a result, she came up with a plan to establish a Royal Guard Patrol. After I heard it, the peanut in my hand fell down. Only then will we understand. Our Shen family has more than just one genius. It's just that that genius doesn't like reading books. She likes floral waffles. Likes to use the simplest way to solve the most troublesome problems. She is not like me. But she is very good. From then on, I started letting her continue to court. Partly because she is good. Partly because I'm lazy. These two things are not contradictory. Later, Bui Dien Chi appeared. I know he recognizes her. In fact, since three years ago he came to marry me, I knew that crazy dog wouldn't let go easily. So we prepared his file. Hobbies, habits, weaknesses, way of talking, everything is clearly written down. My sister asked me if I had predicted today. I don't answer. Because there are some things, just being a big brother is enough to know. If you say it, you will lose face. I can pit her. I can force her to take my place in court. You can trick her into receiving guests. But I absolutely cannot really let her be harmed by others. This is the final rule of a singer. Although this brother is a bit lazy. It's just that later, things gradually got out of control. Trieu Binh took action. Your Majesty turns over the cards. Tham Tri Y became a female official. Bui Dien Chi married her to the palace. Everything is very good. Except for one thing. There is no one left to replace me at court anymore. From the day she got married, my life fell into darkness. Every morning at the hour of the Cat, people in the palace appear on time at the door of the Tham residence. Not a moment too soon. Not a moment too late. Like a devil sent to demand my life. I used to pretend to be sick. The doctor said my body is healthy, just lazy. I used to fake back pain. The royal physician brought silver needles and said he should do acupuncture for back pain. I used to pretend to sleep and die. People in the palace said that His Majesty had an order that if Lord Tham did not wake up, he could carry the whole bed into the palace. From then on, we understood. This Dai Ky. In the end, there is still no room for a genius who wants to sleep. Same today. It's not dawn yet. I hugged the blanket and lay in bed, trying to pretend I didn't hear the court bell. Outside the door, the servant advised until his throat was dry.
"Sir, it's time."
I pulled the blanket over my head.
"I'm dead."
The servant was silent for a moment.
"Sir, if you die, the lady will come back to mourn."
I immediately lifted the blanket.
"Really?"
Suddenly there was a familiar laugh outside the door. I'm stiff. Right after that, Tham Tri Y's voice came in.
"Brother, it's Cat time now."
I looked at the roof of the bed. In that moment, I suddenly felt that life was truly too difficult. If there is a next life, I will definitely not be born on the same day, month, and year as Tham Tri Y. It's best not to be born into a mandarin's house. It is best to make a cat in the yard. Every day, I bask in the sun, sleep, and eat dried fish. No need to go to court. No need to write a chapter. There is no need to hear His Majesty call out "Tham Khanh". Outside the door, Tham Tri Y's voice rang out again.
"Brother, if you don't wake up, His Majesty said he will leave Bui Dien Chi alone today come and invite."
I immediately sat up. I was wearing official uniform while shedding tears in my heart. Oh my god. Give me back my sister! (END OF FULL TEXT)
