Chapter 9 — Reincarnated into the Kim Minh Tri Association, I will no longer marry Poinsettia Lang
Hinh Tranh said:
"I know what you're worried about."
"Progress... is not as important as you and this spring."
A warm stream flows quietly back to the heart. I said softly:
"You liar."
Hinh Tranh immediately panicked, not knowing where to put his hands and feet. I laughed:
"Who said you don't know how to say good words? This is the most beautiful love word I've ever heard."
After Korean Food class. Your Highness sent someone to spread the word, telling me to enter the palace. Every year, around this time, new tea from different places enters the capital one after another. There are always several tea banquets held in the palace. Enjoying tea and fighting tea are also considered suitable for the spring scene. When I was young, I grew up next to you. Horse riding, archery, and horse racing were all taught by her aunt herself. Even the burning of incense and making tea were taught by the aunt herself, and occasionally her Majesty gave additional instructions. For many years now, every time there is a tea fight, the person representing the noble palace participating is me. When I arrived, the palace maid had just received the tea tribute and brought it back for the noble concubine to look at. The air was filled with the cool, clear scent of tea. Seeing me coming, the noble lady just slightly signaled with her eyes. The palace maid immediately led someone to put away the tea, and the palace staff also retreated one after another. The noble lady smiled and waved to me. I don't sit down on the chair below. Instead, he personally carried a small stool and sat right next to the noble lady. The noble lady burst out laughing.
"Even though I'm this big, I'm still the same as when I was a kid."
She reached out and gently touched my forehead. I greatly enjoy that intimacy. Seeming to suddenly remember something, the noble lady suddenly asked:
"How is Hinh Nhi Lang?"
My heart jumped slightly. Of course it's still coming. I knew long ago that this time entering the palace was not simply about the tea fight. In recent days, every time it's retirement time (a regular day off for ancient officials), Hinh Tranh comes to find me. When he couldn't leave the barracks because he had to practice, he also asked someone to bring me food and new small items. News in the capital palace is quick. I'm afraid you already know everything. I pursed my lips slightly, deliberately keeping a serious look and replied:
"It's okay."
The smile in Noble Concubine's eyes became even stronger.
"Is it just temporary?"
"You know I took him to Thuong Thanh Pagoda."
Seeing that I couldn't hide it anymore, I definitely admitted it.
"I think he's really not bad."
The noble lady smiled and took my hand, gently patting the back of my hand.
"If you two truly love each other, your majesty's side of the matter, just let me speak for you."
I replied softly: Silently thinking for a moment, I finally said the true purpose of my trip to the palace today.
"Auntie... please tell your uncle to resign."
The words just ended. The hand that was placed on the back of my hand suddenly squeezed so tightly that it hurt. I called out softly again. The noble lady just looked at me quietly. The Ta family is a family of martial artists. Since the time when Emperor Thai To founded the country, they have followed him to war everywhere. The uncle also guarded the border for many years. Currently in the prime of life. If you resign at this time, it means having to join hands and cede all the merits accumulated over the years. But I don't want the history of my previous life to repeat itself again. Not long after Quy The concubine passed away. The uncle also followed. The last supporting pillar of the Ta family just collapsed. As for me, I am imprisoned within the high wall of the Luc family's palace, unable to do anything. Thinking of this, a feeling of bitterness suddenly arose in my chest. I gently held back Quy Phi's hand and said softly:
"Uncle's old injury is getting more and more serious."
"In this generation of the Ta family, there is no one willing to join the army anymore."
"If that's the case, it would be better to take advantage of the time when the frontier is still peaceful, let uncle return to recuperate, and accept a leisurely official position rather than later..."
You understand what I mean. The corners of her eyes turned slightly red.
"You stupid girl, it's grown-up matters, why should you bother?"
I gently rested my head on her knee, my voice hoarse:
"I've already lost my parents. I don't want one day, even my aunt and uncle will leave me."
The noble lady immediately dispelled her sadness and smiled encouragingly:
"If that's the case, then in today's tea match, let them open their eyes and see. Just how outstanding is the lady raised by our Ta family!"
