Chapter 8
Chapter 8 — On the big wedding day, my husband ignored me and personally carried my pregnant sister to the palanquin.
I'm about to stand up. The Queen suddenly raised her hand to stop me. She looked at me, deliberately sighing awkwardly.
"For the past year, Princess Tinh has been in the Co family's residence recuperating from illness. I'm afraid she has neglected these talents."
"In my opinion, we still shouldn't make things difficult for her."
Her words were even more cruel. On the surface, it relieves us. But in fact, it's reminding everyone that I lived in the Co family's palace for a year. That is implicitly implying. That past of mine was not qualified to step up to a place of elegance. Don't wait for me to speak up. She seemed to suddenly remember something, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's right, mentioning the Co family residence."
"This palace remembers someone again."
She patted her hands lightly.
"Where are you, tell Tham Vi Vi."
Those four words just came out. My hand holding the cup of tea suddenly tightened. Tham Vi Vi? Why is she here? In everyone's suspicious eyes. A familiar figure slowly walked in from outside the palace. It's Tham Vi Vi. Today she is wearing a light white outfit. No makeup on face. The hair is also simply tied into a bun. The abdomen is clearly raised. It makes her body look more fragile and weak, making others feel pity. She walked to the middle of the palace. First, he bowed gently towards the Queen.
"Lady Tham Vi Vi, pay your respects to the Queen."
She raised her head. His eyes looked straight at me. In those beautiful eyes. No longer looks weak like before. Instead. It's resentment and provocation that's not hidden at all. The queen looked at her, her face filled with kindness.
"Good child, stand up."
"This palace heard that your life is pitiful and that you are very talented. I can't bear to let my pearl be buried."
"Today, I am specially allowed to enter the palace to show off my talents in front of everyone."
"Are you satisfied?"
Tham Vi Vi knelt down again to worship.
"Thank you so much for your grace, my lady wishes."
The atmosphere instantly became extremely strange. A pregnant woman. A woman with a bad reputation everywhere. A woman was personally chased out of the palace by Princess Tinh. Yet the Queen took her to the palace banquet. I also want her to perform her talents in front of everyone. This move of the Queen. It's truly too cruel. She wants to tear apart the most humiliating part of my past. Expose it to everyone. She wanted the whole capital to see it with her own eyes. I, this Princess Tinh. Once had her husband stolen by such a woman. She wants to use Tham Vi Vi's "talent". To highlight our "incompetence". Want to use Tham Vi Vi's "pitiful" thing. To highlight my "cruelty". Wanting to completely nail me to the pole of humiliation. The royal garden was so quiet that there was not even a single bird chirping. Everyone's eyes were constantly moving back and forth between me and Tham Vi Vi. There is pity. There is contempt. But more than that, he was happily waiting to see the fun. They are all waiting to see. How will I, this ill-named King Tinh, face this almost fatal humiliation? Tham Vi Vi stood up. A palace maid stepped forward, carrying a guqin and placed it in front of her. She sat down. Fingertips slightly raised. The clear sound of the guitar immediately rang out Echoing. The song she played was 《Truong Tuong Tu》. The sound of the piano is plaintive and tragic. Like crying. It's like I'm telling stories. It seems to be telling about the suffering of a woman who was abandoned by her lover. Her acting. Still excellent as always. Just strumming the guitar. Just left the rims of the eyes red. Tears welled up in the corners of my eyes. But stubbornly refused to fall. That appearance makes anyone who looks at it feel pity. It certainly softened the hearts of many people. Someone started whispering in my ear.
"Sigh, this Miss Tham is really pitiful. Although her name is not good and her language is not favorable, the child in her womb is after all the bloodline of the Co family's mansion."
"That's right. I also heard that Co Dien had a heart and soul for her. If Princess Tinh hadn't interrupted, they would have been a match made in heaven."
"This matter of Tinh Vuong Phi is indeed a bit excessive. If someone should forgive, then forgive."
Listen to those rumors. The corners of the Queen's lips curled slightly, revealing a proud look. Tham Vi Vi's eyes also flashed with joy because of revenge. The girls think. The girls have definitely won. A piece of music ends. The afterglow still lingers. Tham Vi Vi stood up and bowed to everyone. Right at that moment. Tears from the corner of her eyes just rolled down her cheeks.
"Women ask to be shamed."
