Chapter 2 — On the day of Your Majesty's wedding, I personally offered the condolence

Where is this? Could it be that I have turned into a ghost? Before our eyes was just a vast, white fog everywhere, not a trace of life could be seen.

“Little friend, please go back.”

An old voice came, I couldn't tell which direction it came from.

"Who are you? Where should we turn, to Nai Ha bridge?"

I turned to the space in front of me and asked loudly.

"Your life is not over yet, quickly return to your palace."

Before I could say anything more, the scene before my eyes was no longer the same.

“Your highness, your highness?”

When I opened my eyes, a worried face entered my vision. It's my A Nguyen. That's great, I'm still alive! I immediately hugged A Nguyen tightly, tears falling freely, unable to hold back.

“Did you have a nightmare, ma'am?”

“Don't be afraid, I will protect you.”

"It's just that soon, Your Majesty will welcome Concubine Ngung. Things have come to an end. Don't hurt yourself because of that."

Did Bui Canh Tram marry Tiet Nhu Ngoc? I have been reborn and returned three years ago.

“Miss, are you okay?”

Seeing me bewildered and not saying a word, A Nguyen must have thought that I was still heartbroken.

“A Nguyen, I'm hungry, I want to eat plantain cake.”

“This slave immediately go tell the housekeeper to do it.”

Chasing A Nguyen away, I began to quietly recall what had just happened. My fate is not worthy. But given me another chance, why couldn't I return before marrying Bui Canh Tram? Two people who don't love each other being together is just endless entanglement in the end. I sat quietly in front of the desk for a long time, until A Nguyen returned without even realizing it.

"Niang, the plantain cake has already been made. If it cools, it won't be delicious anymore."

As soon as the cake entered my mouth, it immediately melted, the sweetness of molasses gradually dispelled most of the melancholy in my heart. Still the same familiar taste.

"A Nguyen's skills are really very good. I've always wanted to ask you, who did you learn from?"

"The slave learned from an old master in the palace. His skills were very good, but unfortunately he was only a handyman. One time the slave saw him being bullied by others, so he immediately helped. After that, the old man passed on how to make rice cake and taught him wholeheartedly, so we got the result we have today."

"If the plantain cake is so delicious, then summon that person to Phuong Loan Dien to be responsible for making breakfast."

In my heart, I thought, if that person in the imperial room had to endure such treatment, if he came here, he could at least be protected. A Nguyen was overjoyed and even ran to invite someone over.

“This old slave pays his respects to the Queen.”

"Stand up. From now on, you just need to concentrate on making breakfast for this palace."

“Thank you, Queen, for your grace!”

The moment that person raised his head, I immediately recognized him. It was the old man from the past, in the cold palace, who secretly brought me food. At that time, no matter how I asked, he refused to explain the reason. Being able to avoid the guards in the palace is definitely not an ordinary status, or behind you there is someone with an extremely noble status... I'm afraid of alarming the other person, so I don't dare to probe. I just hope that, in the palace, you can bring me clues. So I only give a few instructions sentence, then let him back down.

“Niang, no matter how delicious the plantain cake is, you shouldn't eat too much.”

When A Nguyen's voice rang out, I suddenly realized that I didn't know when, the plate of plantain cake in front of me had already been eaten by more than half. Not just because it's delicious, but because it's been a long time since I've tasted that flavor again, so I can't help but feel nostalgic. In my previous life, I put all my thoughts on Bui Canh Tram. Day and night, she takes care of the trivial matters in the harem, takes care of each of his beloved concubines, only to follow his wishes. I always think that as long as he is happy, I will be happy too. But I patiently endured the pain in my heart, and was harmed again and again. The father and the elder brother passed away one after another. People who don't love me already, no matter what I do, in the end it's all in vain. In this life, I just hope they are safe and sound. Not to mention the position of queen, even if I have to die one more time, I am willing.

"Your highness, people from the brocade weaving guild have arrived. They said they brought new Thuc brocade and brocade and want to offer it to you."
