Chapter 2
Chapter 2 — I've Come to Be a Concubine, What More Need for Nobleness?
Then I turned around and walked step by step towards the palanquin. Lam Lang trotted after, lowering his voice:
"Miss, you... how can you still laugh? She insults you like that!"
I sat back in the palanquin and let down the curtain.
“Lam Lang.”
"What she wants is the Crown Prince's heart, and what I want is position in the Eastern Palace."
I lifted the curtain and took one last look at the pink shadow on the palace gate.
“People's hearts will change, but status will not.”
Lieu Nhu Yen acted very quickly. Before I could change my clothes, her orders were spread throughout the Eastern Palace.
"The Crown Princess has an order: All Trac Concubines and concubines must leave their courtyard within half an hour and gather in the east courtyard to wait for treatment!"
"The Crown Princess has an order: From now on, there will only be one Princess in the Eastern Palace, no longer the title of concubine!"
"The Crown Princess has an order: Anyone who disobeys the order will be beaten twenty times and expelled from the Eastern Palace!"
The eunuch gave a shrill order and shouted three times in a row, causing the entire Eastern Palace to immediately be in chaos like a beehive being pricked. In Chu Luong De's yard, the sound of furniture being broken was heard. She is the daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs, and has been pampered like pearls since childhood, so how can she endure this anger?
"Why? I've been in the Eastern Palace for three years now, and I've always kept my peace and quiet. Did she say I was chasing her?"
Trieu Phung Nghi stood in front of the hospital gate and smiled coldly. Her brother is General Tran Bac, holding 100,000 border troops in his hands.
"One wife and one husband? Why doesn't she say that all men in the world will only marry one wife? Who does she think she is?"
Vuong Bao Lam hugged the maid tightly and cried together. She is the granddaughter of Jiangnan Envoy Diem Van. She has only been in the palace for two months and has not even met the Crown Prince many times. I stand in the yard. Lam Lang impatiently walked back and forth:
"Miss, what should we do? Shall we move?"
I don't move.
"Transfer what? Waiting for people to come chase."
Lam Lang is about to cry:
“The Crown Princess is here to chase us away!”
“Who do you think she can chase away?”
As soon as the words fell, an even bigger noise came from the front yard. The Crown Prince returned, but was blocked by a group of officials right in front of the Eastern Palace gate. Minister Chu, his face turned red, and loudly questioned:
"Your Highness! My daughter has been in the Eastern Palace for three years and has always kept to herself. How can you say that chasing is chasing? Your Highness must give me an explanation!"
The deputy general under General Tran Bac was also present, his voice was even louder:
"The general is on the border fighting, but my sister is suffering resentment in the capital. Your Highness, if this story spreads to the border, what will the generals and soldiers think?"
Several officials from Jiangnan all knelt down in a space:
"Your Highness, Vuong Bao Lam's dowry is filled with ten large boats. Her father has just donated thirty thousand taels to the court to repair dikes. Your Highness cannot do that!"
The Crown Prince was surrounded in the middle, his face pale. The promise that there was only one person in his life was made by him personally. Chu Luong De didn't know when he was standing next to me, his eyes red:
“Tieu Te Van, are you just standing there watching?”
I nodded:
“Do you have any ideas?”
Only then did I turn to look at her:
“I ask you, do you want to leave?”
Chu Luong De was stunned:
“Of course not want!"
“You don't want to go, your father doesn't want you to go, and the Crown Prince doesn't want to offend the Minister of the Household. So what are you afraid of?”
She was stunned. We continue:
“Liu Nhu Yen wants to chase people away, but can she chase away people?”
"Master Chu is currently blocking the gate demanding an explanation, General Trieu's deputy is also standing right outside the gate, officials from Jiangnan are kneeling, covering an entire area of land."
“Tell me, does the Crown Prince dare to touch you?”
Chu Luong De's eyes gradually brightened.
“So we just… resist firmly?”
“What if she sends someone to fight?”
I smiled:
“Then let her fight. By beating Lord Zhou's daughter, tomorrow Master Zhou will be able to join forces with thirteen officials to present a petition accusing the Crown Prince of favoring a demon concubine."
“By beating General Zhao's sister, General Zhao will be able to say that the soldiers on the border are cold-hearted.”
“Guess whose side the Emperor will be on?”
Chu Luong De looked at me for three seconds, then turned and ran away.
“Sisters! Don't move anymore! Quickly listen to me!”
She rushed into the group of concubines who were hugging each other and crying in a group, and recounted all my words with salt.
