Her eyes immediately lit up.

Stepping out of Tuy Ngoc Hien's door, he often encountered Tieu Lam.
"District master, I just had to return to the palace. I'll take you two a little while on the way."
I discreetly assessed him, this young man's eyes sometimes drifted towards Trieu Thanh Hoan, clearly not meaning what he said. That day, I hid in the garden and listened to my eldest sister and Linh Nguyet talk, knowing clearly that their hearts were full of marriage plans. Looking at this situation now, we can really examine it. I smiled and accepted: "Then I'll trouble you, Your Highness." Tieu Lam missed Thanh Hoan's bravery and kept asking questions all the way. During the conversation, he learned that she was both skilled in horseback riding and archery, and he sincerely praised her.
"Sure enough, the girl was raised by the general's family, her temperament and bravery are outstanding in everything."
The carriage stopped in front of the general's palace. Tieu Lam personally opened the curtain to help us get out of the carriage, his eyes full of nostalgia.
"Sister Thanh Hoan, another day I will invite you to compete in archery. You absolutely cannot refuse."
He raised his voice and made a promise: "This time I will absolutely not lose to you again." Trieu Thanh Hoan, who was inherently aggressive, immediately raised his chin and replied: "Okay, I'll wait." The two of you, one sentence to me, one sentence, look like you are provoking each other. I secretly laughed, this girl's mind is pure and not yet clear. After Tieu Lam left, I discovered my eldest sister and Trieu Lenh Nguyet standing in the hallway in front of the palace door. I don't know how long I stood there quietly watching. The senior sister's eyes turned towards Tieu Lam as she left, and asked in a low voice: "Ngoc Nhi, who was that just now?" I didn't hide anything and calmly replied: "It's your ninth highness in the palace." As soon as the words fell, I clearly saw Trieu Lenh Nguyet's face change greatly, jealousy and hatred rising in his eyes. She realized she was out of control, quickly lowered her eyebrows and eyes, gathering all her expressions, not daring to say another word. Along the way to the palace, the elder sister's mind was uncertain, Trieu Lenh Nguyet's heart was also racing. As soon as the two of them saw with their own eyes that His Highness the Ninth treated Thanh Hoan differently, their eyes were clearly moved. I took the opportunity to open my mouth: "Tomorrow I will return to my mansion. Thanh Hoan and I have gotten along very well these past few days. I want to welcome you to my palace to stay temporarily for a few days. Do you think it's okay?" At this time, the eldest sister's heart was all about the prince's fate. She didn't have the heart to think carefully and just casually replied. I have always disliked Trieu Lenh Nguyet, who always puts everything on Thanh Hoan's head, and clearly intentionally provoked her.
"Tomorrow I still have to go to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother. I'll take the opportunity to bring Thanh Hoan along to the palace to open my eyes."
The eldest sister's pupils suddenly shrank and immediately returned to her senses. Next to him, Trieu Lenh Nguyet bit his lower lip and softly begged.
"Auntie, can you take me with you too? I'm this old and have never been to the palace."
This semi-human weakness of yours is of no use to me.
"The Queen Mother only allowed me to freely enter and exit the forbidden palace. This time, bringing Thanh Hoan on my own is already breaking the rules. Bringing another person is really against the rules."
The elder sister's eyes turned quickly and she immediately gritted her teeth and opened her mouth.
“So… can you guide Linh Nguyet?”
As soon as these words fell, Trieu Thanh Hoan suddenly raised his head. I keenly recognize the body She trembled slightly, immediately silently holding her hand tightly. I still had a smile on my face, but my eyes turned cold.
“Sister, are you being too biased towards Linh Nguyet?”
The elder sister spoke very eloquently, still using the same words that have not changed for thousands of years.
"Leng Nguyet's father died in the desert in order to save Truong Hoai. In this life, I owe everything to this child."
Seeing that I didn't speak, she softened her voice and explained.
"It's not that I'm biased, it's just that Linh Nguyet has a sensitive mind. Since she was little, she's been living on her own, and even in her dreams, she's afraid we'll chase her away."
"But Thanh Hoan is different, she is the legitimate lady of the general's palace, she has support in her work, of course she doesn't need me to care too much."
My voice was completely pale, leaving no trace of emotion.
"Sister's words are not good, the father Linh Nguyet saved is your husband, it has nothing to do with Thanh Hoan, and it has nothing to do with me."
"I pity Thanh Hoan, just because she is my real niece."
Trieu Lenh Nguyet has always been favored, his face immediately turned pale. The elder sister, in her haste, seemed to have caught a straw to save her life, and grabbed Trieu Thanh Hoan's arm.
"Thanh Hoan, quickly advise your aunt! She loves you the most, if you tell her she will definitely listen!"
Trieu Thanh Hoan was silent for a long time, and finally completely exploded. She forcefully pushed the elder sister's hand away, the force was so great that the elder sister suddenly took half a step back.
"Are not."
One word, definitely absolute. The elder sister was both surprised and angry: "Trieu Thanh Hoan! You really want to turn the sky upside down! Why did I give birth to a disloyal and filial daughter like you who doesn't know good or bad!" Trieu Thanh Hoan raised his eyes to look at her, calm and almost cold.
"If that's the case, from now on, we are no longer mother and daughter."
