Chapter 2 — Silver Hanh Falls, Silver Hanh is Born Again
Not daring to delay any longer, I respectfully served him. During that time, the Crown Prince looked at me several times. Until he left, he kept looking at me to the point that I didn't dare raise my head. After the banquet ended, I followed the group back down. The manager suddenly came to me, with a look of contempt between his eyebrows and the corners of his eyes.
"A Hanh, you have been chosen by His Highness the Crown Prince to be his maid."
Like lightning striking a clear sky, I hesitated to speak:
“Mom, can you not go?”
The manager mother glared at me, her eyes cold and scary.
"Insolent, being respected by His Highness the Crown Prince is your blessing, how dare you disobey?"
I was scolded until my whole body stiffened, so I could only respectfully bow:
“Yes, mama.”
On the way back to the room, I thought about it but still couldn't understand. Apparently, soon, His Majesty will use the excuse of saving money in the palace. At one time, more than three thousand palace maids were released from the palace. Because I couldn't leave the palace in my previous life, I thought that in this life I would get my wish. Unexpectedly, he turned around and around, but in the end he still had to come to serve the Crown Prince. We have to think of a way to leave the Eastern Palace. Currently the Crown Prince has two concubines, but still does not have a Crown Princess. I know that in order to compete for favor, we girls can do anything. In my previous life, my girls and I fought in the dark and in the light. In the end, no one had a good ending. The East Palace has been in fear for several years, finally waiting for the day the Crown Prince ascends the throne. It's just that my palm at that time, like hers, was already stained with fresh blood. That's why, after being imprisoned in the cold palace for more than ten years, my life was extremely difficult. Anyone can step on my face. But the Crown Prince saw everything, but never stopped it. He both made love to me and let the palace people bully me. Every time he left me, before turning around and leaving, he had to humiliate me even more. Gradually, people bullied me more and more. During that time, we could not live as well as die. Every day is crazy, crazy, crazy. There must also be times when the Crown Prince remembers his life-saving benefactor who died unjustly. One side endured his torture and humiliation, the other side endured those forced sexual pleasures... After arriving at the Crown Prince's palace, the matron took me to get a place to stay. It's a room for two people, and the layout inside doesn't look bad. After putting down my luggage, my mother told me that I would go to the garden to work later. I obediently bowed:
“Yes, mama.”
Waiting until we are ready to rest, we will know who is in the same room as us. It's Ngan Hanh, when she saw me, she was a little stunned. Then he nodded slightly at me. I hesitated for a moment then opened my mouth:
"Sister Ngan Hanh, let's take care of each other from now on."
Ngan Hanh obediently nodded: Looking at her familiar face, I suddenly remembered someone. It was the guard who mistook me. The person he wants to find is probably Ngan Hanh. So I decided to get a little closer with Ngan Hanh and inquire about that guard's information. The next day, after finishing work, I pretended to accidentally ask about Ngan Hanh's family. She frowned slightly, seemingly not wanting to talk about people close.
“There wasn't enough food at home, so I sold myself to the palace.”
Then she asked me again:
"What about A Hanh? Where are your family members?"
I replied gloomily:
“I'm the same as you.”
I also sold myself into the palace. That year, my hometown suffered from drought and many people starved to death. Because of A De, my parents wanted to sell me and A Muoi in exchange for silver. I cannot bear to let A Muoi, who is only five years old, suffer. So I proactively proposed to enter the palace, so that I could sell more silver. When I left home, I was still young, A De and A Muoi were both so hungry that they no longer looked human. Later, I asked someone to listen to the news and found out that there was no one left in the village left alive. That story made us both silent for a long time, then we just looked at each other without saying another word. In less than three days, I discovered that Ngan Hanh was intentionally avoiding me.
