Chapter 2 — The day my Fiance asked me to marry both Sisters, I became Princess So

The silver armor reflected the cold light under the moonlight, and the throat moved slightly, almost imperceptibly.

"Tri Y? Why are you here?"

I looked up at him and smiled gently:

“It's so stuffy in the palace, let's go outside and get some air.”

He stared at my face, as if looking for some opening.

“So... have you ever gone to the round gate on the other side?”

I tilted my head, a puzzled look appearing on my face:

"Round gate? Is there something going on over there?"

He seemed to have been relieved of a burden, the corners of his lips wryly pulled into a smile:

"Nothing, just asking. It's difficult to walk at night. Don't wander around. Come back quickly."

I obediently nodded and slid next to him. As I passed by him, I smelled the scent of magnolia flowers on his cuffs. The flower my good sister loves the most is the elegant jade orchid. Every time I come to her hospital, the scent of jade orchid is left on my body. Back at the banquet, Tham Uyen Thanh also returned. She was holding a cup of tea, sip by sip, her cheeks still had a hint of pink that hadn't completely melted away. As soon as I sat down, she put down the tea cup, leaned close to hug my arm, her voice was both sweet and soft:

“Sister is back.”

I smiled, did not withdraw my hand, and let her hold me.

“That's right, Uyen Thanh.”

I tilted my head to look at her, my tone casual as if we were talking about housework:

"Before leaving the door, father specifically told me that there were many handsome young men at the banquet today, and asked me to pay attention to help you. I've been going around, have you seen anyone you like?"

Tham Uyen Thanh bowed her head, her ears turned red, she twisted the scarf with both hands, and said in a low voice:

“What are you talking about, sister... Marriage is such a big deal, how can you be so casual?”

She paused for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at me, the corners of her lips trying to suppress a smile.

"I'm not in a hurry. On the contrary, sister... I'm afraid something great will happen today."

When she said the three words "great joy", her eyes suddenly lit up. An unusual light. It was a feeling of satisfaction, just like in the previous life when her clothes were disheveled and she knelt before me. Crying like pear blossoms in the rain, but the bottom of her eyes were filled with pride. She sat here pretending to be innocent, pretending to be obedient, but in her heart she was only calculating how to steal my fiance. I raised my teacup and took a sip, smiling.

“Speaking of which, this is truly a coincidence.”

Tham Uyen Thanh tilted her head and looked at me.

“I went out to get some air just now and happened to meet General Tieu.”

The smile on Tham Uyen Thanh's face stiffened for a moment. The fingers holding her scarf suddenly tightened:

"Did you meet... the General? When was that?"

I thought for a moment, tilted my head to pretend to remember, deliberately paused for two breaths before speaking:

“About two moments ago, near the round gate.”

Tham Uyen Thanh's face immediately turned pale. Her lips trembled a few times, her shoulders stiffened as if someone had just dumped a bucket of ice water over her head.

“Uyen Thanh?”

I opened my eyes wide in surprise, raised my hand to touch her forehead:

"Why is your face so poor? Is your body unwell?"

She suddenly stepped back a bit, avoiding my fingertips.

“No… no…”

She bowed her head, picked up the tea cup in front of her and brought it to her mouth. but his fingers trembled violently, the tea water rippled at the rim of the cup. I looked at her constantly shaking hand and said nothing. As soon as the tea cup was brought to her lips, she frantically wanted to take a sip to calm down, but unexpectedly her hand slipped - The tea cup turned upside down. Half a cup of warm tea spilled onto the hem of her goose-yellow dress, spreading out into a dark patch of water.

"My dear! Sister... sister, sister..."

I quickly stood up, took a handkerchief to help her, my voice was both impatient and heartbroken:

"Why are you so careless? Your skirt is all wet, what can you do?"

She clutched the wet skirt of her dress, her lips were still trembling, her eyes were red:

“I... I'm going to the Heavenly Palace to get ready a little bit...”

“Go quickly.”

I helped her adjust her coat, then turned my head and signaled with my eyes to the maid waiting behind:

“Thu Hoa, you go with Second Miss, remember to take good care of yourself.”

Thu Hoa understood, stepped up to support Tham Uyen Thanh's arm, and said softly:

“Second Miss, let this servant go with you.”

Tham Uyen Thanh walked very quickly, the hem of her skirt swept across the floor beside her feet, leaving a faint trail of water. She didn't even have time to turn her head to look at Tieu Dien once. I sat back down, raised the teacup and slowly took a sip. Not long after, from the row of martial generals' tables opposite came the sound of chairs gently shifting.
