Chapter 4 — Little Fisherman of the Princess
"Once A Ngu finishes learning the rules with mom, we'll take you to the palace." Entering the palace to attend a banquet means having to look like a saint, just the slightest mistake can cause a big disaster. I was afraid of implicating Princess Truong. I was about to refuse when I heard someone say: "We should let the whole capital know that my Princess Truong's Palace has a daughter." 10Three days later, Princess Truong and I went to the palace to attend the banquet. The eldest princess led me to sit right below the queen. The ladies and women who saw a strange face like mine, all seemed to observe it several times. Among them were people from Tuong Palace and Do Marquis Palace. Perhaps unexpectedly, Princess Truong would lead me to the palace banquet. Their faces looked like they had just seen a ghost. My parents and prefect looked at me with disapproval. Perhaps they are afraid that we will cause trouble. Do Hoai Can looked at sister, then looked at me, not knowing what he was thinking. I can't ignore the jealousy in my sister's eyes, but I also don't have time to think too much. The princess sometimes asked me to taste a piece of cake, sometimes asked me to look at that dancer, extremely busy. Occasionally, a few ladies would come and chat. The eldest princess all looked up and said: "This is my daughter." Not long after the palace banquet began, more than half of the officials present already knew that I was the daughter of the eldest princess who was about to be adopted as heir. Their eyes looking at the people of Tuong Palace gradually carried profound meaning. Mother led A Sister forward. "Your Highness." The Princess replied calmly: "It's Mrs. Tuong." I lowered my eyes: "Mother." A Sister also greeted the Princess Truong. After all, my sister has been seriously nurtured by her teachers for many years. Her rituals and regulations are indeed more beautiful than mine. It's a pity that Princess Truong just calmly glanced at her sister. It seemed like he had no interest in the person who could almost become his daughter. Her face stiffened, an unnatural smile hung on her lips. Mother frowned and looked at me resentfully. She originally intended to speak up to relieve her sister. At that moment, other officials came forward to greet him. The princess turned around and introduced to them: "This is my daughter, sister Du." Mother suddenly forgot about having to relieve sister. She tightened her handkerchief, forced a smile and said: "Your Highness, the adoption ceremony has not yet been held..." The surroundings immediately became quiet. Sister's face changed. Mother immediately realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly closed her mouth. Several well-coordinated officials praised me and skillfully let the matter go. Mother missed the opportunity, seeing that the banquet was about to begin, she could only return to her seat in a daze. The palace man shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived!" I followed everyone in the ceremony. When I stood up, I saw a very familiar figure next to the king. 11 The monk who wore a white robe to teach me every day had now replaced it with a precious brocade robe embroidered with gold thread. He stood right next to the king and queen. Detecting my gaze, he playfully blinked at me. Princess Truong saw me stunned, laughed and asked: "Are you scared?" Indeed, she was scared. The reigning saint and queen have only three princes under their pillows. The person wearing the prince's uniform is the crown prince, and the youngest person is the third prince. So the status of the person standing in the middle is understandable without needing to be said. I felt a bit dizzy, my mind kept replaying the scenes I once made fun of. The gentleman who was misunderstood by me as my male pet is actually the second prince of the reign, Lam Viet? Before I could regain my composure, the queen suddenly spoke up: "This is Miss Du, right?" I quickly stood up and bowed. The Emperor nodded at me: "This girl really has a relationship with the royal sister." I looked blankly at the Duke.
God. The person smiled. "Of course." The queen covered her lips and smiled: "Du girl, your second brother talks about you every day, this palace has long wanted to see you." Hearing the words "older brother", I instinctively looked towards the elder brother. The brother frowned, his expression unpredictable. The "second brother" that the queen said was obviously not the brother. I raised my head to look at Lam Viet. He smiled, did not deny, but did not seem to completely agree with that call. "If you have time, go with the royal sister to the palace to talk to this palace." As soon as the queen finished speaking, everyone's eyes looking at me changed. 12 More than half of the banquet passed, people began to move around more. The ladies all silently probed, hesitating whether they should come and talk to me or not. No one approached casually. At first glance, we seem to be isolated from the outside by them. At that moment, a palace maid ran up to me and said: "I hope you ask someone to come out and talk." I don't want to get involved with you. But obviously she doesn't intend to let me go. It's not convenient to make a big deal out of it in the palace. After informing Princess Truong, I still went to the meeting place. The person who appointed me was not only my sister, but also my brother. As soon as she saw me, my sister asked: "It's been so many days, do you still blame me?"
