Chapter 2
Chapter 2 — Cuu Trung Ngoc Lau
At this time, in the heavenly palace near the royal garden, Hoai Duong Vuong was resting drunk. This palace maid was bribed and deliberately led me there. According to my sister in her previous life, everything was her father's handwriting. I couldn't help but laugh bitterly. They are both father's biological daughters, yet for the sake of his sister, he can be so cruel! Your sister's honor and wealth are important, but is my life not worth a penny? The palace maid's eyes glanced back and forth, then hurriedly urged: "Master Su, today is your first time entering the palace. You have to meet the saint later. Absolutely do not be careless. You should quickly change your clothes and put on proper makeup, which is an urgent matter." July is as hot as fire, the sun hangs high in the sky, burning everything. In just a moment, the clothes will be dry. I smiled faintly. “It doesn't matter if you don't change your clothes.” The palace maid immediately became frantic. "How can that be? The Emperor hates women who dress sloppily the most. Talented Su should also think about his future!" No one understands better than me what kind of person the Emperor is. On his most difficult days, it was I who brought him back to the thatched hut. He used to go to the fields, cut the grass, and help me fix the fence. You and I have both witnessed the other person's most disheveled appearance. In his previous life, the emperor sent people everywhere to search for the whereabouts of white moon light. That story accidentally leaked out, letting his father and Cui Canh know. Sister's insatiable greed, relying on her appearance to be exactly like the person in the painting, made a risky bet. Seeing that I was still unmoved, the palace maid reached out to support me, but actually used her strength to push me forward. "Master Su, this servant only wants to be good for you. Please quickly change your clothes! If you miss the time to appear, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous for you." The strength of this female palace is very great. Obviously prepared in advance! The servants nearby were also sent elsewhere. I absolutely cannot resist. Seeing that I was about to be pushed into the heavenly palace by her, the corner of my eye suddenly glanced at the lake next to me, and a plan immediately came up in my heart. I waved my hand and threw the brocade scarf away. “Oh, my handkerchief…” The palace maid quickly advised, sweat was already on her forehead. "Master To, at this point, why do you still care about a handkerchief? Just a little while later, you can meet the saint and win the saint's favor, then your good day will come." On the surface, she pretended to console her. Seeing the brocade scarf fall into the lake, I became even more certain of my plan. "No! The handkerchief is my personal possession! It still has my maiden name embroidered on it. Once it falls into someone else's hands, even jumping into the Yellow River won't be able to wash it off. Go down and pick it up for me." Seeing my resolute attitude, the palace maid had to follow suit. Right when she bent down to pick up the towel, I stood behind her and without hesitation gave her a push. “Plop—” The palace maid was completely caught off guard and fell into the lotus pond. I immediately turned around and left, running straight towards the place where the banquet was taking place. … As long as I can meet the king, let people know of my existence, at least there is still a chance to change the fate of my previous life. I thought while running with all my might like crazy. However, I still underestimate the favoritism that parents have for their sisters. Father was clearly a royal official, but as if he was possessed by a ghost, he personally blocked me. His eyes were full of stubbornness. "To Han Hao! Where are you going?" "Don't think that if the emperor gives you instructions to enter the palace, you can kneel high without worrying! Look at your disheveled appearance, what else can you look like? Hurry up and change your clothes!" “Don't let the Su family lose face!” My father was tall and strong, standing like a wall, making it impossible for me to take another step forward. I panted and called softly: "Father... I am A Hao." “When I was little, you used to say that A Hao and your sister were both treasures in the palm of your hand.” “Why did I have to work so hard to return, when in your eyes I only have my sister?” Parents paused. He was stunned for a moment, as if he had just been kicked awake. But right after that, the coldness took over again
n face. "Of course you are also a treasure in the palm of your father's hand. But even so, I cannot pamper you. Be obedient and change your clothes, don't offend your beauty." Enough. Cannot speak clearly. If there is any delay, once the emperor has opened his mouth and agreed to change people, I will be taken away by Cui Canh again like in my previous life. I immediately pulled down the hairpin from my bun. Father did not expect me to be so bold. He didn't have time to dodge. The brooch made an incision on his neck. For a moment, father could only care for himself. I took the opportunity to pass him and continued running straight towards the palace. Almost…just a little bit more! My heart felt like it wanted to jump into my throat. From a distance of several dozen meters, I saw Cui Canh stand up from his seat and walk to the front of the palace. Just like his previous life, he borrowed the merit of saving the Queen Mother to make a ridiculous request to change people. At the same time, my sister was also present at the banquet. As soon as the Emperor saw the girl in his arms who looked exactly like white moonlight, he remembered the Queen Mother's promise to grant Cui Canh a wish, and he was truly shaken. At this time, the older sister intentionally appeared obedient and gentle. The Emperor looked at her in bewilderment. My throat is dry, I can barely breathe. “Don't… don't… please don't agree…” That sound was so small that it was just like the buzzing of a mosquito. No one at the banquet heard. In despair, I saw the king's lips move.
