Chapter 4 — Shining Pearl

Next is the key to a castle. Next is gold, silver and cloth. Father looked until his eyes lit up. The mother stared at the key again for a long time. "Sir Wen, this book house is..." On Tri Dao said: "Tich Vi Lau is in the south of the city." "After getting married, the second lady of the Tham family can come in and out freely." The main hall was quiet for a moment. Tich Vi Lau is the Wen family's private library. It is said that inside there are gas spectra, construction drawings, and math books of the previous dynasty, many of Quoc T. Tu Giam's students could not see it even once. Now he puts the key in the bride price. This meaning is much heavier than jewels. Father smiled even more considerately. "Your Majesty, taking such high regard for this young lady is the blessing of the Tham family." On Tri Dao looked at me. "It is my blessing." The smile on his mother's face stiffened a bit. Tham Minh Xu stood behind the screen and did not come out. I could feel her eyes falling on that key. That's not the kind of honor that the Royal Palace banquet can give. Not even a compliment from the Fifth Prince can compare. Before Wen Tri Dao left, his father invited him to the study room to talk. I stood in the hallway waiting for Thanh Vu to get his coat. Not long after, Tham Minh Xu came out. She looked at me. "Are you satisfied now?" I shook my head. "Not to that extent." "The key to Tich Vi Lau has already been given to you, isn't that enough?" Her eye sockets were a little red. "From childhood to adulthood, what have you wanted that you didn't have?" I was almost made fun of by her. "Are you saying the opposite?" Tham Minh Xu stared at me. "Your father loved your mother, everyone in the palace said it all. I'm like Concubine Luc." "You don't need to learn the rules, nor do you need to support the Tham family's reputation." "From childhood to adulthood, every day I practiced the piano, the words, and the ring, not making a single mistake." "If you just take a wrong step, mother will say, the eldest daughter must have the appearance of the eldest daughter." "How come you can just casually look at the broken bracelet and be seen by Deputy Wen?" I looked at her. ta. This is the first time she said these words to me. But in these words there is no apology. Only unwillingness. I said: "You've worked hard, so it's not wrong to hate people and force you every day." "Not to ruin my Nine Links." Her lips trembled slightly. "I'm just afraid." "I'm afraid that as soon as you take action, everyone won't see me anymore." I said softly: "So have you ever thought about it?" "Every time you're afraid, it's blocking my way." Her face was pale. I continued to say: "If the necklace at the birthday party didn't have Emperor Wen, I would be laughed at as clumsy." "If I opened that box in the Royal Palace myself, you would say I stole the glory." "You said you were afraid no one would see you." "But the way you want to be seen is to push me into the darkness." Tham Minh Xu's tears fell. "So I
What should I do?" This sentence is very light. It's also very real. I was silent for a moment. "Self-sister, think of a way to stand up." "Don't step on me." She looked at me, tears falling even faster. But I didn't comfort her anymore. Some resentments are real. The evil things that have been done are also real. Those two things cannot cancel each other out. 6. The wedding was scheduled for next spring. Before winter, the Queen Mother suddenly summoned me to the palace. When I arrived at Tu Ninh palace, Wen Tri Dao He was also there. He was repairing an old incense box for the Queen Mother. The incense box was left by the Emperor. The lid had been stuck for many years. The palace workers had tried to repair it several times but were afraid of damaging it. On Tri Dao used a thin bronze needle to gently pry the hidden latch, and the box lid immediately opened. The Queen Mother felt that after the two of you got married, the busiest place in the On palace was not the flower hall, but the storage room. "After the ceremony, I sat down. Down. The Queen Mother gave me the incense box. "Let's see, why has this box been stuck for so many years?" I took it. The bottom of the incense box was very light. Although the lid was open, there was still a closed layer inside. I looked for a moment and softly said: "It's not that it's stuck." The Queen Mother's smile slightly retracted. She raised her eyes and looked at me box. "This box should have two layers." "The first layer is for incense." "The second layer hides things." "Looking from the grinding mark, the lock core was pushed back." The Queen Mother's voice lowered a bit. "Can you open it?" I looked at Wen Tri Dao. He gave me the bronze needle. "Try it." I did not refuse. The bronze needle slid into the lock and gently pulled the spring inside. Three times later, the underground layer came out A small piece of paper was yellowed. The Queen Mother herself took it out. Just looking at it, her eyes turned red. She didn't show us the content, she just pressed the small piece of paper to her chest. After a long time, she said: "This is the letter the Emperor left for you." "I thought it was gone." On Tri Dao didn't ask much. The Queen Mother looked at me, her eyes were much softer. "These are your eyes not only know how to look at the broken areas.”
