Chapter 6
Chapter 6 — On the big wedding day, my husband ignored me and personally carried my pregnant sister to the palanquin.
The ladies standing next to her also laughed. We recognize her. Ly Yen Nhien. The daughter of the Minister of Military Affairs. At the same time, she is also the step-sister of the Second Prince. A member of the Queen's faction. The main character hasn't appeared yet. The appetizers could not wait and were brought to the door themselves. I looked at Ly Yen Nhien's face, the words "Quickly refute me" were written on it, and I suddenly burst out laughing. I don't get angry. Even his voice didn't waver a bit.
"Miss Ly's words are not satisfactory."
I spoke softly, but my eyes glanced past her, looking towards everyone present.
"Today this concubine came to the palace to attend the Queen's flower viewing party."
"Seeing is the elegance of daisies."
"Rewards are the taste of autumn."
"For such an elegant thing, if you use a head full of pearls and the smell of money to adorn yourself, wouldn't that be tarnishing chrysanthemums and flowers, and would it also be disrespectful to the Queen's vision?"
My voice is not loud. But every word echoed clearly throughout Ngu Hoa Garden. The surrounding chatter gradually subsided. Many ladies had a pensive look on their faces. Ly Yen Nhien's face stiffened. I didn't give her a chance to refute and continued:
"Moreover..."
I raised my hand and gently touched the jade phoenix brooch placed in my sideburns. That action made everyone's eyes stop on the brooch at the same time.
"Concubine Tien Hien, also the mother-in-law of the Royal family, was famous throughout the world during her lifetime for her virtue and frugality."
"People who don't like luxury all their lives, only love orchids and jade."
"This phoenix brooch is a relic of Concubine Tien Hien, and is also an ancient gift given by the Emperor himself."
"This concubine is wearing it today."
"First, to comfort the heroic spirit of Concubine Tien Hien in heaven, telling her that her baby is now married."
"Second, it's also to always remind yourself."
"As Princess Tinh, you must take Princess Tien Hien as your model, be frugal in housekeeping, be dignified, and absolutely must not live a lavish and ostentatious life that will tarnish the royal family's dignity."
My words are loud and echo everywhere. Every single sentence. They are all full of righteousness and morality. Just expressed filial piety to Concubine Tien Hien. It also highlights her own virtue as a royal concubine. More important. I even cleverly pulled the Emperor in. This phoenix brooch is a gift given by the Emperor himself. Ly Yen Nhien criticized it for its simplicity and poverty. Is it any different from criticizing the Emperor's eyes? The whole Ngu Hoa garden was as quiet as paper. The noble ladies just now covered their mouths and secretly laughed. At this moment, everyone turned pale and bowed their heads low. Just afraid of getting my attention. Ly Yen Nhien's face became more and more special. From red to white. From white to blue. She didn't expect it even in her dreams. A seemingly ordinary jade brooch. And has such a great background. I want to open my mouth to refute. But she found herself unable to utter a single word. Because no matter what you say. Both are wrong. It's all disrespectful to Concubine Tien Hien. It is also an insult to the Emperor. I looked at her confused appearance and slowly walked towards her. My eyes fell on the glittering gold brooch and knife set in her hair. Slowly move down to a pair of extremely good quality jade bracelets on her wrist. I looked straight into her eyes and smiled faintly.
"On the contrary, Miss Ly's outfit is truly worth thousands of gold."
"It seems like the Ministry of Defense is truly a greasy place right now."
"Even the young lady of the Minister's house can dress more splendidly than the royal concubine."
"Another day, this concubine will definitely ask the Royal Highness to say a few words for Ly Thuong Thu in front of the Emperor."
"Such a 'honest' god."
"A thousand times, don't let it disappear."
Ly Yen Nhien's legs were soft. She fell to the ground. The maids next to him immediately frantically ran to help. There was no longer a trace of blood left on her face. Only endless fear remains. Every word we say. It was like a knife stabbing straight into her heart. It stabbed right into her father's vital point. The two words "integrity". I deliberately emphasized my voice. People are present here. Who doesn't hear the irony in that? One side accepts bribes. On one side, the girls are dressed lavishly. If this matter reaches the Emperor's ears. The saffron hat on her father's head. It's just hard for me to keep it. The eyes of the surrounding ladies looking towards Ly Yen Nhien also changed. From watching fun games. Turn into avoidance like avoiding a pestilence.
