Chapter 3 — Tham Gia Horse Carriage

"Third sister, father's medal has been presented." "If you regret it now, don't you want the Marquis to be accused of lese majesty?" The second sister stood behind her mother, tears still not dry. "Aren't you the one who understands the most?" "It's just that I'm only going there to be queen, it's not like taking my life." I looked at her. "The North is three thousand miles away, life and death are unknown. If not to take my life, then why?" Why don't you sisters go?" The second sister's face turned pale, then gritted her teeth and said: "Who told you to endure better than us?" Father's face sank. "That's enough." "The holy edict for marriage has been given, it's not your turn to be arbitrary." My eyes turned red, staring at father. "So, from beginning to end, everyone was planning on you?" Father avoided my eyes. That moment, I understood everything. Father lost patience and said: "Don't say those useless words anymore. The decree has been announced, you have to go if you want to go, if you don't want to go, you have to go." At this moment, Mother Qin rushed in front of me, risking her life to protect me. "Master, Third Miss has never nodded her head." "You have not been loved by anyone since you were young, I can't continue to take your life anymore!" Father's face turned pale. "Qin's demonic words, pull them down." Rush forward, hold tight to Ma Ma Tan. Mother Qin struggled, loudly calling me: "You can't go!" "Before she died, the old lady told me to protect you. Even if I have to die, I can't let them trample you!" Father ordered someone to take out the prostitution contract of Mother Qin and her son. "Miss Qin, if you dare to say one more word, I will sell both you and your son to the black coal furnace." Mother Qin's face turned pale. white anger. Mother closed her eyes and finally looked at me. "A Uyen." "As long as you accept this marriage, I will let her go." "Her son's bust contract, I will also return it." Outside in the yard, snow was still falling. Mother Qin was pressed into the snow. The woman raised the board very high. Just as it was about to descend, I closed my eyes. "Goddess Tham Uyen voluntarily reconciled." "In this life and this life, I will never step into the Marquis Palace again." When the proclamation decree was brought into the Marquis Palace, the mother was frightened. She originally thought that she would only need to temporarily push me out and replace her eldest sister and second sister to overcome this hurdle. Bac Dich is three thousand miles away, and the wedding date has not yet been decided. As long as the Marquis is willing to spend money to ask for help, it is not necessarily impossible to think of other ways. But the holy order is written very clearly. Princess Chieu Ninh of Tham Uyen district immediately went to the palace to learn the rules. If they have not been summoned, relatives of the Marquis are not allowed to enter the palace gates without permission. I am no longer the third lady. I am Princess Chieu Ninh, ordained by the emperor himself. Mother held the holy decree, her fingers trembling so much that she could barely hold it. When she came to the villa to find me, I was squatting on the ground packing my things. Actually, there's nothing to clean up. Two old clothes that had been washed until they were discolored, a pair of cotton shoes that had been patched three times, a set of Buddhist scriptures that had been soaked in snow until they were wrinkled, and a bundle of broken jade wrapped in an old handkerchief. Besides those things, there is not a single item that truly belongs to me. Mother stood outside the door, looking at that pitifully small bundle of luggage, her face pale. "A Uyen." "There's still a month left before entering the palace. Mother will make you a few new clothes, and prepare jewelry and a dowry for you." "I will make up for everything that I haven't given you before." I placed the broken jade bundle at the bottom of the chest, raised my head to look at her. "Can it be made up for?" Mother was stunned. "What?" "The last time I saw my great-grandmother, Can I make up for it?" "The heart that trusted my people, can I make it up for it?" The blood on her face immediately drained away. Ta

Looking at her, her voice was extremely calm. "You always said you would make it up to me." "But what I wanted before was never these things." "I just wanted to get on my family's carriage and go see my great-grandmother one last time." "But even that request, everyone did not agree." Mother opened her mouth, tears suddenly fell. "At that time, mother had no other choice." I nodded. "I know." "Sisters cannot bear suffering, so I can." "Sisters, I can." You don't want it, so I have to." "It's just that you never thought that I could feel pain." Mother stood there for a long time, and finally said nothing, absent-mindedly leaving. In the evening, my father brought two chests of jewelry, five hundred taels of silver checks and a box of premium pearls. He put the things on the table, his voice still stiff. "Once you enter the palace, don't continue to cause trouble." "Bac Dich may be far away, but after all, she is the queen's position. If you are a little smart, you may not be able to live good days." I opened a jewelry box. At the top is a pure gold brooch with two small words engraved at the end. Minh Chau. In the second box is a pair of jade earrings, the inside of which is also engraved with a name. Bao Chau. I raised my eyes and asked him: "Father, are these things for me?" Father frowned.
