Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — Little Cong Gia Comes to Pray Than
He didn't want to be a concubine. Later, he would have to watch Luc Sung An and his concubine make love and give birth to a child. Just thinking about that scene makes me feel as painful as having my heart gouged out. But with his status and circumstances, how could he become a crown prince? There seems to be a conflict between the two. Luc Sung An came twice, but the elder brother closed the door and did not see him. By the time he reappeared, his whole body had become thinner. Mother saw it, sighed, sat next to her and gently advised: "He is the crown prince. Today he is willing to bow to you, so what about tomorrow? What about the day after? The royal family has always been the most ungrateful. If you can think for a moment, find a normal person who does not criticize your status, and live peacefully for the rest of your life, wouldn't it be more comfortable?" The elder brother stayed up all night. 13 The next morning, he sent someone to inventory all the things. Luc Sung An once gave it to him and returned it to the Eastern Palace. He changed back into men's clothes, a blue shirt with his hair tied, and a straight figure. It looks no different than before. In the East Palace, there was news that Luc Sung An had rejected the person the queen chose to be the crown prince. When he heard that sentence, a little hope appeared in the brother's eyes. After that, he went out for a trip. When I returned, my lips were slightly swollen and red, as if someone had just kissed me hard. The elder brother came to find me, sat in my room for a long time, wanted to talk a few times but then stopped. The tea was poured three more times but he didn't take a sip. Until the maid brought in an apricot flower brooch, saying that the young master asked for it to be delivered, as if paying for yesterday's wine. At this time, the elder brother let the people around him back down and finally spoke. "Tri Vi, the little worker is showing off, but on the outside he has the reputation of having fun. It's really not a good match." I was holding the apricot flower hairpin to observe, and when I heard that, I immediately raised my head: "Big brother, what are you talking about?" Me and Quan Mac Nhiem? It's just that you're eating rice. At most, you can add that you make money. I don't know how his mind is created, every business deal he chooses is sure to be profitable. I tried investing a sum of silver, and eventually made a net profit of 10,000 taels. He didn't ask for anything in return, just asked me to invite him to eat a few more meals. After going back and forth many times, the relationship between dinner partners became more and more honest. The elder brother said: "Tri Vi, your highness has agreed to marry me as his concubine..." I put down the apricot flower brooch and seriously looked at him: "Congratulations brother... No, congratulations sister." He tugged at the corner of his lips, his face full of worry: "But in the future, if I have a crown prince, what should I do? Watching him make love to other women, watching them give birth to his children... I..." "So, Tri Vi, I can ask you... to marry him." "Are you okay?" I was surprised for a moment. "Sister, what are you talking about?" The elder brother seemed to have prepared his words in advance, speaking faster. "I know I forced you. But Tri Vi, we will go to the prince's palace together, and in the future we can take care of each other. As for your child and His Highness... I..." "I agree." My heart is cold. 14 In my previous life, after I gave birth to the emperor. As a child, every time the elder brother entered the palace, Luc Sung An would hold the child in front of him and tease him. Now that I think about it, it turns out that in their previous life, they considered my child as their own. A wave of discomfort rose up in his chest. "Sister, it's your business to want to marry the crown prince. But I can't spend my whole life on it. I don't like the crown prince." The elder brother seemed a bit confused, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. "His Royal Highness is so good... Why don't you like it?" "Like you like chrysanthemums, and I like peonies." He was stunned. His face gradually turned white. Luc Sung An likes chrysanthemums, from the beginning
In the end, it's all because the elder brother likes it. "Sister, if you want to marry him, I will be happy for you. But my life, my path, I will walk on my own." …… 15 Just at that moment, my mother chose a few young men from other families, urging me to go on a blind date. Originally, I was determined not to continue getting involved in the murky waters between my brother and Luc Sung An, so I definitely agreed to go out and meet every day as a way to relieve my sadness. Before leaving, I told the maid to tell Quan Mac Nhiem that I was busy recently on a blind date, and when I was done, I would find him to do business with. As for eating... I hesitated for a moment, but still asked the maid to add another sentence that in the future men and women are different and should no longer eat together. Who would have thought that that night, when I was standing in the hospital, watching the daisies slowly bloom. A furry head suddenly appeared on top of the wall. I took a half step back in panic, almost tripping over the flower pot. Looking closely, I recognized that face. I was both angry and amused at the same time. "Little master, is there something so important that you can't send me to the palace tomorrow to tell? Climbing the wall in the middle of the night, I almost thought there was a thief." Quan Mac Nhiem lay face down on the top of the wall, as if he had accumulated a lot of words, and immediately poured them all out. "Can't wait! Don't you have to go on a blind date tomorrow?" "If you please someone else, I'll have to slap myself twice when I wake up in the middle of the night." ""Tri Vi, can you look at me first?"
