Chapter 7 — Tham Xuan Doanh

Bui Can bowed his head, his palm gently caressing my face: "This time, you should be happy too, right?"... At dusk, I returned to Phuong Nghi palace. Bui Hanh Ngoc is waiting for me at the door. I grabbed his hand: "I have something to tell you." His eyes stopped on my red eyes, paused for a moment: "What's wrong?" I choked up: "Sorry..." Bui Hanh Ngoc's eyes gradually became gloomy, he was silent for a few seconds and then reluctantly smiled. "Why should I apologize? Obviously I'm the one who benefits." He wiped my tears, slowly said: "Everyone has their own ambition, so if we fight, let's fight, girl." You did it right, there's nothing to apologize for." "Let's do this, I'll tell the mother that I don't want to get married, she won't blame you..." I stopped him. "Let's push the wedding date up early." He stiffened. I kissed him again, smiling: "Being a Crown Princess is tiring, how can it be more interesting than going fishing with you?" Bui Hanh Ngoc pursed his lips, his ears turning red. I hugged him for a long time and then softly sighed: "I once dreamed that I lived my life as the Crown Prince." "In the dream, I was not happy, staying up late and getting up early every day, handling palace affairs, serving the Crown Prince, not having a single moment that belonged to myself." "After that, I endured it forever, finally waiting for the day the Crown Prince would ascend the throne, but he locked me in a small room, not letting me step out..." "Bui Hanh Ngoc, I don't want to wear it." Phu Quang brocade, I don't want to eat tangerines and honey... The sky is high and the earth is wide, please take me away from this place." Bui Hanh Ngoc and I came to find the Queen. The person happily agreed and happily said: "Seeing that the relationship between the two of you is so good, this palace is also relieved." The news that the wedding date had been pushed forward quickly spread out. This marriage has been decided, there is no turning back. Bui Hanh Ngoc's land was also decided. In the Thuc Trung area. That place has green mountains and blue water, rich produce, it is truly a rich land. After getting married, I will follow Bui Hanh Ngoc to the land, only on Tet holidays can I return. Mother knew what had happened, pulled my hand and cried: "With the level of favor of King Due, wanting to stay in the capital for a long time is not difficult, why do you have to go to the land?" "Mother begs me, don't go so far, is that okay?" I coldly pushed his hand away: "Mother, having an elder sister who is devoted to you is enough." "During Tet, my daughter will also come to visit you." The brother looked at me silently. Waiting for his mother to leave, he quietly asked: "Are you taking revenge on us?" "That year... we really didn't treat you well..." I didn't answer, nor did I want to hear his apology. Anyway, three years later, he will suffer from a serious illness and die, without my having to take action. The next time I met Bui Can was the night before we got married. In Ngu Hoa Garden, he pulled me behind the fake mountain, his expression gloomy. He said he remembered everything. Remembering how I hated, entangled, tormented and humiliated me in my previous life, I also understand why in this life I decided to abandon him and choose someone else. I smiled tiredly: "Your Highness, you have married the person you love." "What are you dissatisfied with?" "No." Bui Can's voice was hoarse: "She is not the person in your heart." He never liked Tham Vu. The childhood sweetheart should have feelings. He also thought so. Until that rainy and dusty day, he picked up a woman's handkerchief. Flower petals are embroidered on the scarf, placed in the palm of the hand, it looks lifelike. She carefully received it back, her eyes curved, that hasty moment of looking back was deeply engraved in his mind. From then on, I miss you day and night, never forgetting you. He suddenly realized that this was what he liked. He is the Reserve Commander, and has been placed since he was a child

lots of expectations. His mother was strict with him, but his father was even stricter. He had to stay up late and wake up early, studying hard day and night to get one compliment from them. You don't need to do anything to receive all the love. He admires, envies, desires. That's why God gave Tham Xuan Doanh to him. When the two met, she did not know that he was the Crown Prince. She just likes him for who he is. Just thinking about her made him secretly happy. However, she deceived him. "Making Tham Vu Queen was just to humiliate her." Bui Can closed his eyes: "You have no feelings for her." I replied coldly: "Oh." I wanted to leave, but he bent down and grabbed me. "Don't go..." His eyes were red: "Why can't you wait for me?" "Just three years, three years later you will definitely make you Queen." I tried to deceive her. His hand extended, each word clear: "Your Highness, everyone has their own destiny." "In this life, we do not have a predestined relationship between husband and wife, so why do we have to force it?"... Bui Can did not attend my wedding. It is said that that night he returned to the East Palace and got himself drunk. In the cold weather of Nang Ban, he slept outside all night and then fell seriously ill. Listening to the Thai doctor, this illness has damaged the foundation. I'm afraid I'll have to live the rest of my life in a hospital bed. The Emperor became angry and severely punished the elder brother for not taking good care of the Crown Prince. The mother was worried about the elder brother's future and the elder sister's future situation in the Eastern Palace. Suddenly, she was angry and righteous and fell ill. But all of those things are no longer relevant to us. After getting married, Bui Hanh Ngoc and I left the capital as planned. What surprised me was that the elder sister came to see me off. Sisters of a lifetime, looking at each other, not knowing what to say. A long time later, the elder sister quietly said: "Sorry." "I enjoyed all the favoritism from my brother and mother, but never thought of speaking up for you." It's okay. In her previous life, she used her life to give back. I just said: "Take care." The carriage slowly moved forward. The royal gate closed behind him. All the gossip, resentment and entanglements... are left in the past. The mountains are high and the road is far away, we just step forward. Run out of.
