Chapter 1 — She chose Scissors to cut Hong Tran, I chose Peony to win the Phoenix position

During the birthday party, the great-grandmother took out a peony and a pair of scissors as birthday gifts. The person who chooses the peony will have a face that can make water tilt the city, will be personally taught by his grandmother, and will one day enter the Eastern Palace. The person who chooses scissors must cut off love, cut off the physical world, and be a vegetarian and recite Buddha's name all his life. The older sister excitedly picked the peony flower, and immediately gave birth to a beautiful face that captivated people's hearts, every smile and every smile, and was personally taught by her grandmother. Later, at the Crown Prince's concubine selection banquet, she danced in the middle of a peony cluster. As soon as the dance ended, her veil blew away in the wind. As soon as the Prince looked at her, she fell in love. She was ordained as Crown Princess. After the death of the first emperor, the Crown Prince smoothly ascended the throne, his sister was given the title of Queen, and her mother bowed to the world. However, the harem gathered countless talented women from all over the world, and there were as many beauties as clouds. My sister considered herself to have a beautiful appearance, and was personally taught by her grandmother, so she didn't pay much attention to her studies, so she didn't have much knowledge inside, and the advantages that beauty brought gradually disappeared. The palace secretly called her "Flower Vase Queen". The sister refused to improve herself, on the contrary, she ordered everyone to be killed, including many noble ladies from high-ranking families. The news spread to the previous dynasty and was quickly played by the royal court. My sister thought that the Emperor would still protect her and that she only needed to be a little spoiled and she would be able to get through it peacefully. But harem concubines are all involved in the power in the court, power and beauty have never stood on the same balance. My sister was placed under house arrest in Truong Xuan Palace, not allowed to leave unless she died. Later, because my Buddhist teachings were profound, the Emperor appointed me a National Teacher, was given the treatment of a second-class official, was rewarded with thousands of taels of gold, and was given a palace. My sister in the palace heard about this. When I entered the palace to pray for the Queen Mother, she pretended to be a palace maid, holding a pair of scissors and stabbing it straight at me.

"Based on what, I lost everything, and you - a lowly woman - can be awarded the title of the Emperor... kill you, kill you!"

The tip of the scissors rushed straight to my heart. I knew I couldn't live anymore, so I pulled out the hairpin on my head and stabbed it back, causing my sister's blood to instantly spray out. How good it is. Originally, I came to the palace this time to ask for the Queen Mother's grace, wanting to exchange for the opportunity to let my sister pretend to be dead and leave the palace. After my great-grandmother heard about my sister's plight, she went up the mountain to find me, creating prestige for me to attract the Emperor's attention. Threatening my mother's life again, forcing me to think of a way to save her, I had to obey. That's good too. It's just a pity that I couldn't see the outcome of the Marquis Palace with my own eyes. When I open my eyes again, I have returned to the day of choosing the birthday gift. The older sister took the scissors first... She leaned close to my ear and whispered in a low voice:

“In this life, go ahead and enjoy the days of being a vase and people laugh at you.”

After seeing my sister unwillingly close her eyes, then open them again, I was reborn and returned just in time to choose the birthday gift. The mother-in-law placed peonies and scissors onto the table.

"The person who chooses the peony form will from now on follow me to learn the rituals of Khue Tu and the famous sect. The person who chooses the scissors will take refuge in the Buddha's door and learn..."

“I want the scissors!”

Before her grandmother's words had finished, her sister quickly grabbed the scissors, took off the hairpin on her head, and cut off a lock of her hair. I looked at the remaining peony, pretending to be shy, not reaching out to receive it. But my sister picked up the peony on the table and shoved it into my hand. At that moment, I knew my sister had also been reborn. In my previous life, when I saw my sister choosing peonies, my great-grandmother laughed happily, her face filled with kindness. Currently, the grandmother's face carried a disapproving look and opened her mouth to advise:

"Thuc Hue, have you thought carefully? The days of becoming a monk are extremely painful, from now on there will be no more servants around, no more beautiful clothes, can you really bear it?"
