Chapter 1
Chapter 1 — Phu Dung Under Flower Lights
Knowing that my husband adored my sister, I immediately ran away in the night. Thinking about the relationship between husband and wife for two years, I'm afraid that because of this, he will feel guilty in his heart and won't be able to eat and sleep well. I had to leave an envelope to show my generosity. 【Husband, when you saw this letter, I was no longer at home. Because after knowing that you admire my sister, I felt really guilty. So in order for the two of you to be able to feel secure being together, I ran away to someone else, that's all I can do for you. My wife loves you.】 Lau Tuyet Tan: “?”1My husband, Lau Tuyet Tan, is a very capable person. In just five years, he went from being a miserable poor baccalaureate to the position of Deputy Coroner. But for some reason, he insisted on marrying the concubine, me. Everyone says I am blessed. We also thought so before. Until we caught sight of Lau Tuyet Can and Ninh Vuong chatting at the flower reward banquet. The sky darkened, and the flower reward banquet was nearing its end. Before that, to avoid socializing with the ladies, I found a hidden corner on the second floor and hid there to take a nap. When I woke up, the maid next to me was gone. Just as I was about to speak, a male voice suddenly came to my ear. "...Ngoc Tran, just met today, your great aunt is truly the number one beauty in the capital. At the banquet, all the beauties are like clouds, yet she is all overshadowed by her." Ngoc Tran is Lau Tuyet Tan's name. That voice belonged to Ninh Vuong. Since when have the two of them been close? I was stunned for a moment, missing the best opportunity to leave. Right after that, Ninh Vuong said again: "Your wife is indeed beautiful, but stiff and tasteless, suitable for a concubine. Ngoc Tran, when the big event comes to pass, this king will definitely help you make a good relationship. Tuyet Tan, Tuyet Doanh, this king sees that the two of you are a match made in heaven." My sister's name is Cui Tuyet Doanh. One day, Tuyet Can came to Thoi's palace to seek a marriage. Cui Tuyet Doanh looked at his back and laughed without any hesitation. "One was from a poor background, the other grew up in the countryside, they are truly a perfect match." The voice was not hidden at all, only the deaf could not hear it. I quietly rolled my eyes. Cui Tuyet Doanh has always had eyes higher than her head, and her whole heart only wanted to be the Crown Princess. Basically don't pay attention to people like Lau Tuyet Can. Moreover, Lau Tuyet Tan was scolded by her, but his father still approached him, it was truly convenient beyond limit. Unexpectedly, I heard Lau Tuyet Tan smile and say: "Thank you for your good intentions." Me: “…” Okay! We've been together for two years and only now do we know that our husband is the most peerless scoundrel. The two lowered their voices and said a few more words. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw maid Xuan Hanh of the Lau Palace holding a lamp and walking this way. In my heart, I immediately cried that something was wrong, my beautiful lady's life. I quickly stood up, took cover from the darkness, and quietly went downstairs and groped out the back door. Just about to breathe a sigh of relief. Lou Tuyet Tan's voice rang out outside. "What are you doing here?" The maid bowed and said: "Sir, ma'am is resting on the second floor, it's getting dark, the servant is here to pick her up." "You said ma'am is here?" "Yes." The atmosphere was silent in the blink of an eye, the corner of Lau Tuyet Tan's lips curled into a smile, saying: "In that case, I'll go with you to pick up ma'am." The long boots stepped strongly on the wooden stairs, the sound was slow and heavy. I went around the fake mountain, made sure no one saw me, so I picked up my skirt and ran like crazy. When Lau Tuyet Can married me, I secretly predicted it. Most of the capital's noble ladies are arrogant and noble, and will not lower themselves to please their husbands. But it's easy for a concubine like me to not be favored
Easy to manipulate, timid and afraid of trouble, but only knows how to take care of her husband. Among them, I am considered to have the highest status among this group of concubines. Not only did it not lower his value at that time, but it was also suitable for him to be an exemplary couple. Having been married for two years, we have never been cold to each other. But an honest woman like me, to a man, is truly bland and tasteless. A man from a poor background with the ability of Lau Tuyet Tan, his heart is easily gloomy and self-deprecating, and he cannot stand a woman who looks down on him even half. But he couldn't help but be attracted to women who despised him. Tonight's events further confirm this speculation of mine. Huhuhu, my husband likes his sister, but I have to pretend like nothing happened. It's really unreasonable. Because I was so nervous, I suddenly bumped into someone. "Sorry, sorry." I held my hurt nose, a muffled voice apologizing. From above my head came a low, pleasant voice. "It's okay, Phu... ma'am." The lantern under the eaves radiated a warm light, and I finally saw clearly the person I bumped into. I quickly bowed: "Your Highness the Crown Prince." Tieu Quyet nodded slightly and asked: "Madam, why are you so panicked?" Me: “…” I really saw a ghost. About my husband falling in love with the great aunt, I am about to transform into a useless wife, how can I tell the wishes of the great aunt's lover? I pretended to be depressed and said: "Today, when I saw the seven-year-old little princess, I suddenly remembered my childhood, so I couldn't help but want to review..." Ugh. The reason is so forced. Even I can't make it up anymore. Tieu Quyet lowered his eyes and asked: "Since you can remember your distant childhood, do you still remember the palace banquet on the snowy night two years ago?" I raised my head in surprise: "What battle are you talking about?" It's no wonder I don't remember, it's mainly because the people in the palace like to hold banquets too much. Since I was welcomed to the Thoi family, I have participated in at least a hundred banquets. We looked at each other for a moment, and he said: "On the eighth day of the twelfth month, the tenth year of Thua An." Me: “?” Uh. Don't remember. Although I don't know why he asked like that, in order not to offend him, I had to rack my brain to think of an answer. Just as a premonition flashed in his head, Lou Tuyet Tan's slow, smiling voice suddenly came from behind. "Madam, you really made me so easy to find." Me: "!" My eyes suddenly widened, goosebumps all over my body. He walked straight forward, as if he had just seen Tieu Quyet, he suddenly woke up and said: "It turns out that His Highness the Crown Prince is also here, I would like to see your Highness." Tieu Quyet quickly looked away. "I was strolling here to relieve myself, and coincidentally met my husband... Madam Cui, I remembered that there is something important, please take a step forward." After he left, I obediently smiled. "Husband." Lau Tuyet Tan reached out and hugged my waist, pulling me into his arms. I covered my face and shyly asked him: "Your Highness and I just met by chance, husband, are you jealous?" He curled his eyes, did not answer but asked back: "Xuan Hanh said you slept on Nhan Nguyet tower, when I went to pick you up, the upstairs was empty. When did you leave?" "After waking up and seeing no one, I immediately went out myself." "So that's it." The night wind passed by, blowing the lantern under the eaves to sway slightly, the candlelight inside constantly flickering. Lau Tuyet Tan hugged me and walked forward, softly saying: "The banquet is over, A Phu, let's go home." "Yes, yes." 2 Returning to the palace, Lau Tuyet Tan went to the study to handle public affairs. I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, washed my face, changed my clothes, and prepared to go to sleep. Xuan Hanh led the maids to bring a table of food and said: "Madam, sir said you will eat less tonight, afraid of midnight."
People are hungry, so they specially order the kitchen to make the dishes they like best." A few maids covered their mouths and secretly laughed. "Madam, you are so kind to me." "You and your wife are so kind." I laughed out loud in my heart. If I hadn't heard the words of Lau Tuyet Can and Ninh Vuong, maybe I would have really believed it. The food on the table is very delicious, it's all my favorite dishes. I just realized I was hungry right now, so I picked up my chopsticks. When eating, I don't like others to stand and watch. Xuan Hanh saw that and immediately led the others outside the door to wait. After eating for a while, I suddenly remembered what Tieu Quyet said, and it seemed to make an impression in my mind. On the eighth day of the twelfth month in the tenth year of Thua An, the Queen Mother held a plum feast. The invited people were all boys and girls of age in the capital. Among them was a young man who broke off an apricot branch and wanted to give it to me. At that time, I was afraid that the Queen Mother would find out and punish him. I didn't even dare look at that person, so I quickly found an excuse to run away. Not long after, Lau Tuyet Tan came to the door to propose marriage. Say that at the plum banquet, as soon as I met you, I was moved. Lau Tuyet Tan is polite and courteous to others, and always has a gentle smile on his face. In the Thoi family, where distinctions are clear and relationships are cold, where have I ever seen this kind of beauty? As soon as my father asked, I immediately put on an obedient look, "I listen to my father in everything." Moreover, after marrying Lau Tuyet Can, he has always treated me very well... When thinking about things, I have a bad habit of always having to hold something in my hand. The chopsticks were greasy, so I pulled out the silver hairpin from my hair bun and held it in my hand to play with. While I was thinking, the brooch slipped from my hand and fell into the food, oil splashed on my hand. I quickly recovered, picked up the silver brooch from there, and wiped it clean with a towel. When wiping, our hands stop. One side of the silver brooch is black. Me: “…” Damn it! Lau Tuyet At the end of the world, he poisoned me. He really couldn't wait a moment. According to our agitated emotions, toxins take effect. I couldn't stand it anymore, I fell off the chair, the plates of food on the table were wiped by my sleeve and fell to the ground. The broken plate made a crisp sound. The person who pushed the door to enter was Lau Tuyet Can. He picked me up from the ground, his face rarely without a smile, he worriedly said: "A Phu, what's wrong with you?" Me: “?” If I hadn't been so poisoned that my hands were shaking, I really would have believed your acting skills. I said: “Husband, what do you put in your food? I'm so hot... uncomfortable." Lau Tuyet Tan carried me to bed, his cold fingers covering my eyes, his voice was cold and helpless. "Ah Phu, don't blame me, after tonight everything will be better." There was darkness before my eyes, I gradually closed my eyes. In the middle of the night, I opened my eyes in bed. Damn it! Lau Tuyet Tan couldn't wait for me to give up my seat? In that case, I will complete it for you. After all, we are husband and wife for a while. Huhuhuhu. I took out the prepared luggage from under the bed, took an envelope from inside and placed it on the table. I hope tomorrow when he sees it, he won't be too moved. Now I have to go prepare another gift for you. I spent the night trying to find Thoi Phu. Seeing that familiar yet discreet dog hole, I almost shed tears on the spot. Before, every time I sneaked out, I relied on it. Unexpectedly, after getting married, I secretly ran home and still had to rely on it. I crawled through the dog hole, familiar with the way to avoid the patrolling family, and went to Cui Tuyet Doanh's hospital. The lights in the room were off, she was already asleep. I took out another envelope from the envelope, which was also the love letter I wrote in imitation of Lau Tuyet Can's handwriting. I stuffed the envelope through the window, then returned the same way, hiding my merits and reputation. Husband, I have tried my best. Hope
Don't be too emotional.
