Chapter 6 — Chinh Phi's Chess Game

It wasn't because she was afraid of being punished, but because she finally realized that her little sister, who had been trampled under her feet since childhood, would no longer speak for her. Ky Kim Viet walked over and pulled me into his arms. His chin rested on the top of my head, his voice was hoarse and hoarse. "Where are you?" "Lock the concubine in the dungeon inside the palace, without my order, no one is allowed to visit." "Send someone to thoroughly investigate everything the concubine has done since entering the palace until now, one thing is one thing, don't miss it." When being pulled down, the older sister kept screaming. "Your Highness! You cannot treat me like that! I am the eldest daughter of the Lam family!" "Hello, in your heart it's clearly me..." Her voice got farther and farther away, until it was blocked by the door. Ky Kim Viet hugged me, her eyes red. "I won't let anyone bully you anymore." I leaned against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. Cuoi cung khong can dien nua.“Thai t.u phi o dau?”Noi thi tuyen chi dung truoc cua phu, tay bung kim sach, guong mat tron tria chat day nu cuoi.“Be ha co chi, sac phong ngu hoang t.u Ky Kim Viet lam hoang thai t.u, chon ngay vao Dong Cung. Sac phong Lam thi Phu Khe lam hoang thai t.u phi.”Khi quy duoi dat tiep chi, ta nghe phia sau vang len nhung tieng chuc mung noi tiep nhau. Ky Kim Viet helped me stand up, his palm warm. "Let's go, let's take her to see the Eastern Palace." The day I moved into the Eastern Palace, I turned my head to look at the fifth prince's palace. The prison is located in the deepest part of the hospital, three doors away, so no sound can be heard. Sister has been locked in there for four months. The Eastern Palace is more than three times larger than the fifth prince's palace. Ky Kim Viet left the best hospital for us, on the sign was written "Truong Ninh Cu", long lasting peace. It's his handwriting. "Do you like it?" "Your highness's handwriting is more beautiful than before." He burst out laughing, rarely revealing a hint of his teenage mentality. "Before when I wrote Lac Than Phu, my sister criticized me, saying my strokes weren't elegant enough." Halfway through speaking, he himself stopped, his expression stiffening for a moment. I naturally continued to speak for him: "From now on, your Highness will write to me, I will not criticize." He looked at me, reached out and rubbed my hair. After the crown prince's position was stabilized, the political situation gradually became clearer. The former crown prince was deposed due to assassination and imprisoned in Tong Nhan Phu awaiting trial. Truoc kia Ky Kim Viet bi nguoi khac xem nhe, cho rang han chang qua dua vao mau phi duoc sung ai nen moi co may phan the dien. Now no one says that anymore. His tactics on court are more decisive than anyone could imagine. But what we have to do also shifts from the dark to the light. The crown prince's wife has to manage ten times more tasks than the princess's. The East Palace's personnel, finances, interactions with the palaces, and the society of the matriarchs, each thing is a web, one move affects the whole body. We handled it very smoothly. From the first day I married into the fifth prince's palace, I learned these things. When my sister is busy competing for favor, I look at the books. When my sister is busy bragging, I remember her name. She thought I was a transparent person, but in fact, the circuitry of the entire palace had been understood by me a long time ago. Ky Kim Viet dan dan phat hien ra. One time, when he returned from the previous dynasty, he saw on my table a curriculum vitae of the Eastern Palace god, with my notes next to each person's name. He picked it up and flipped through a few pages, his eyebrows raised even higher. "Li Dien Dien, has a tough personality, not suitable to be sent to deal with the Ministry of Rites." "Master Vuong, his wife and Concubine Canh Vuong are cousins, need to be careful." "Trieu Truong, normal ability but can be used loyally, suitable for keeping inventory." He closed the book, looked at me and smiled. "Crown Princess, how long have you been hiding from me?" I took the book back and folded it up. Go to the top floor of the bookshelf. "Your Highness, please listen

I don't understand." He wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, placing his chin on my shoulder. "When did it start?" "What started when?" "Your calculation, when did it start?" My hand stopped. His voice didn't sound like a question, on the contrary, it sounded like he was being coy. "That day in your study, you continued your sister's words and said you admired me. At that time, you already planned it, right?" I didn't turn my head. "If your highness feels that I am a concubine. The intentions are too deep..." "I didn't say it wasn't good." He tightened his grip, his voice choked, "I just feel like I've been stupid for a few years." "I'm willing to be stupid." I tilted my head to look at him. There was a smile in his eyes, also a bit of helplessness. "Your Highness is not stupid." "Your Highness just believes too much in what you see." He was silent for a moment. "So what about what I see now?" "What your Highness sees now is real." I turned around, stood on tiptoe, and gently touched the corner of his lips. "From now on, it's all real." "Your Highness, Your Highness, I wish you peace." Palace servants filled the hall with their knees. On the day Ky Kim Viet ascended the throne, I wore a phoenix robe and stood on the steps, looking down at the entire Ham Nguyen Palace. It's been three years. From the time we answered in the Lam family's study until today, exactly three years. After the ordination ceremony ended, Ky Kim Viet let everyone leave. The vast electric field left only me and him left.
