Chapter 8 — Shining Pearl

She no longer marries into the Royal Palace, nor does she no longer revolve around Tieu Thua Canh. At first, everyone in the Supreme Public Bureau did not believe her. I feel like she is a noble lady, only knows how to skillfully solve things to please people at banquets. But she is really smart. Also endure. From grinding the outer ring, to repairing underground bolts, to drawing organ diagrams, she learned little by little. That winter, the Queen Mother summoned her to the palace and told her to fix an old fireplace. She finished fixing it. The Queen Mother rewarded her with a Thuong Cong rank. The Tham family just kept their mouths shut. At first, her mother criticized her for losing face, but then saw that she was being admired by the Queen Mother, and changed her words to say that she had her own opinion. Tham Minh Xu just pretended not to hear. When she came to Wen Palace to meet me, she already had a small wound on her hand. Not much, but very clear. I gave her the medicine. She looked at her hand and suddenly smiled. "Before, I was most afraid of having scars on my hand." "Now I see it again and it's okay." I said: "Very beautiful." She glanced at me. "You coaxed me?" "No." "Like the hand of someone who actually did something." She was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Chieu Vi, that year I ruined your nine series, and later I competed at the Royal Palace again." "Actually, I'm not just afraid of you stealing the prize." Quang." "I'm afraid I'm nothing." I poured tea for her. "What now?" She looked at the wound on her hand. "Still scared now." "But not so scared anymore." I smiled. "That's good." Later, Tieu Thua Canh married a noble woman from another family as his main concubine. It is said that before getting married, he went to Wenfu once. On Tri Dao won't let me see him. After knowing, I asked him: "You stopped it?" He nodded. "Um." "What did he say?" "He said he wanted to see her once." "What did you answer?" On Tri Dao bowed his head to straighten the old drawing, his voice calm: "Said she was busy." I laughed. "I was taking a nap at that time." He raised his eyes. "Sleep is also very busy." I laughed for a long time. Later, Tieu Thua Canh brought a box. Inside is the office box of the Fifth Prince's palace that year. He sent someone to tell him that he was mistaken that year. I don't accept it. On Tri Dao sent someone to return it intact. Before returning it, he asked me: "Why don't you take it apart and see?" I shook my head. "I already know how to open that box." "Not interesting." Wen Tri Dao nodded. "That's right." A few days later, I heard that Tieu Thua Canh smashed that box. The fifth prince's concubine argued with him because of this. After listening, I just feel very far away. So far away that it sounds like someone else's voiceover. In the winter of that year, Wen Zhi Dao and I finished cultivating the first volume of the Bach Gong Old Pupils. The beginning of the book is not his name. It's not my name either. Is the name of many craftsmen. There are workers in the palace, there are also folk carpenters, and there are also a few female workers from the High Court Bureau. Tham Minh Xu is also in there. After the Queen Mother finished reading it, she personally praised: "This is the book of practice." When I
and Wen Zhi Dao left the palace, snow fell on the palace. He covered the umbrella for me. I suddenly remembered that life, standing in the hallway of the Fifth Prince's mansion, looking at the snow on the broken nine-link bridge. At that time, I thought I couldn't solve it in this life. Now I know. There are some rings that don't need to be solved. It's okay to put it down. 12. Many years later, at banquets, noble ladies in the capital also began to check the nine-link first. This is a new rule set by the Queen Mother. Any item that is skillfully played must be inspected first by the Thuong Cong Department. If the item is damaged, it will not be considered a failure. Some people laugh at this rule and make it big. The Queen Mother only said: "If something is broken, people should not be forced to try to solve it." When this word reached my ears, I was editing the drawings in Tich Vi Lau. Tham Minh Xu sat on the other side, holding a newly repaired organ box in his hand. She has become a female official of the Supreme Public Affairs Bureau, and her personality is much quicker than before. Hearing these words from the Queen Mother, she smiled. "The Queen Mother has my back." I looked at her. "I also have your back." She was a little stunned. Then he bowed his head and looked at his hands. "Hmm." "Also have my back." When On Tri Dao came in, we had just removed an underground bolt. He looked at the components on the table and was silent for a moment. "You two disassembled very thoroughly." Tham Minh Xu immediately packed his things. "I still have something to do, go first." She walked very quickly. It's like he's still afraid of On Tri Dao's cold face. I couldn't help but laugh. Wen Zhi Dao sat down next to me. "What are you laughing at?" "Sister is afraid of you." "I have never been fierce with her." "You don't need to be fierce, standing there is enough to scare people." He thought for a moment. "So are you scared?" I shook my head. "A little before." "What about now?" "Now I feel, Master Emperor is actually very easy to coax." Wen Tri Dao raised his eyebrows. I placed a bronze pin that I had just taken off in his palm. "For you." He lowered his eyes and looked at the other brass pin, the corner of his lips curled up very slightly. "Hmm." "It's really easy to coax." At dusk, we returned to the palace together.
