Chapter 2 — Ha Tat Must Forcibly Pray

The elder sister replied: "The elder brother is close to the Crown Prince. I accidentally mentioned it so I remembered." She remembered something and smiled coldly: "What's wrong, are you afraid that I will harm you?" "I see you have a hard time finding information every day, so I'll give you a helping hand." "Didn't you swear that you wouldn't be able to become a Crown Princess, so you definitely won't give up?" I shook my head. The spirit of youth really made us think we could pierce the sky. But after that, day after day there was only dreary wind and rain. The north wind brought cold, blowing and breaking tree branches. We gradually understand. People cannot fight with fate. I accepted the paper the elder sister gave me. Without even looking at it, I tore it into pieces in my palm: "You can rest assured and wait until you get married." “Prince, I won't fight with you anymore.” 05 I can't wait for my mother to return. On the contrary, we wait for the will to summon us to the palace. In the carriage, Duke Hoang said with a serious expression: "I don't know what Lady Quy said. As soon as she heard it, she became angry and determined to find someone to ask clearly." I frowned slightly. Mother and the Queen have been close friends for more than forty years, with a relationship like siblings. Even if the lady didn't want me to marry King Due, she wouldn't be so angry. In Phuong Nghi Palace, the Queen sat high up, the anger on her face had not yet disappeared. His mother stood awkwardly next to him. The Queen called me forward and squeezed my hand: "Tinh Nhinh said you want to marry Due Vuong. This palace wants to know if this is ultimately your intention or her intention?" I replied in a low voice: "It is the goddess's intention." The Queen frowned even more: "Is that really what you mean?" I answer yes. The princess opened her eyes wide, not daring to believe it and asked: "These past few days you have always been by my side. Is the person you want to marry not the Crown Prince, but the King Due?" In the corner of my eye, I saw Bui Can just entering the palace, just in time to hear that sentence. He raised his eyes and looked towards me. I lowered my eyes: "Perhaps the lady misunderstood." "The goddess has never thought of marrying the Crown Prince." The palace was silent for a moment. The queen asked bewilderedly: "Why?" I calmly replied: "A goddess who can be a royal concubine, serve a lady, take care of people under her knees, and live safely through her days is already lucky for three generations." "This goddess has a thin life and does not dare to dream of becoming a Crown Princess." As soon as the words ended, the palace sank into dead silence. Nuong Niang looked at me, the disappointment on her face could not be hidden: "Xuan Doanh, is that just your ambition?" 06 I stood there sadly. Once, my ambition was very high. I want to have Phu Quang Cam that I can wear forever, I want to always be able to eat tangerines and honey as tribute from the Southwest, I want to be respected by people like the Queen. I don't want to only be able to look at the elder sister's sparkling clothes and be stunned, nor do I want to only be given a few segments of tangerines to taste at a time. We live one life, always wanting to enjoy the best things. But later, we gradually discovered. Phu Quang brocade is not comfortable to wear. When eaten too much, honey tangerines become bland. Even though I have the noble status of Crown Princess, when I see Bui Can, I still have to obediently kneel down and let him decide. The royal power is on high and will not let anyone go. Our direction has never changed. It's just that what we want is no longer the same as before. Stepping out of Phuong Nghi Palace, a light drizzle began to fall outside. At the palace gate, a figure wearing a thin, dew-like cloth stood in the middle of the rain. I paused for a moment, then took the umbrella and walked over. Bui Can calmly said: "Second Miss Shen, it seems like you should give me an explanation." He leaned over and looked at me, his calm voice carrying a bit of mockery: "If the person you want to marry is Hanh Ngoc, why did you do all kinds of actions to make you misunderstand?" I was stunned. Suddenly remembered this moment in my previous life. At that time, Bui Can still did not hate me too much. We met in the temple, walked through the lantern festival, and chatted happily. During the time I stayed in the palace, I kept company with the Queen

Dude, he always finds opportunities to come to Phuong Nghi palace, just to secretly say a few words to me. After that, I don't know where the news came from. Bui Can learned the truth about so-called chance encounters. He grew up in a secret palace, saw too many people who flattered the powerful and had cold hearts, so he hated being plotted by others the most. His attitude towards me also gradually became cold. After ascending the throne, he also took away all my status and honor, coldly saying: "Do you think that by marrying me, you have won?" "I didn't expect that after thinking to the end, we would end up with today's outcome." "If something is not in your destiny, why do you have to force it?" But right now, teenage Bui Can is standing in the middle of the smoke and rain, stubbornly waiting for my answer. I bowed my head and said softly: "Your Highness is too far away from me." "Something that does not belong to me, the goddess does not dare to demand." 07 The eldest sister's marriage was decided before me.
