Chapter 4 — The Eastern Palace Can No Longer Hold Me

I lowered my eyes. "Perhaps I'm tired of copying." "Are you resentful of me?" Her voice trembled slightly. "From childhood to adulthood, I always protected you everywhere. You didn't understand the rules in the scriptures, I taught you. You didn't like female servants, so I hid them for you. You caused trouble, and in front of your mother, I also helped you." When I heard these words, the bottom of my heart was not without waves. In her previous life, she indeed hid many small mistakes from me. She helped me hide my mother, saying I didn't sneak out to buy an office lock, I was just looking for her. She once repaired my maid's work, took out the distorted needle lines and re-embroidered them. She used to stay up at night to watch when I was sick. People's hearts are the hardest to repay. Good is real, harm is also real. I raised my eyes to look at her. "Sister, if you don't go to the Eastern Palace in the future, will you be happy?" She was stunned. I asked again: "If the Queen Mother looks at you, the Crown Princess is also you, stay far away, will you protect me?" Her lips moved. "Of course." I smiled. "That's good." She did not breathe a sigh of relief, on the contrary, she became even more uneasy. Perhaps she heard that in my "that's good" sentence, there was no faith in her. A few days later, the Queen Mother summoned the Khuong family's daughter. The phoenix pointed to the palace. Sister A is also going. In Phuong Nghi Palace, the Queen Mother held her sister's hand and praised her for her dignity and gentleness. Sister A lowered her eyes and smiled, moving back and forth properly. The Queen Mother looked at me again. "You girl, after breaking the Nine-Lined Pill, do you still dare to touch delicate objects?" I bowed my head and said: "Recently, I only dare to copy books, I don't dare to touch anything else." The Queen Mother was amused by me. "I'm also scared." Quy Canh Hanh was also next to me. He heard my words and his eyes darkened. The Queen Mother suddenly took out a small, beautiful golden lock. "This lock is something the family used to use when they were young. The key has been lost for a long time." "Second Miss Khuong, do you want to try?" Before I could speak, my sister spoke softly first: "The Queen Mother, a few days ago you were punished for the Nine Links, today I'm afraid I don't dare." She refused very thoughtfully for me. The Queen Mother glanced at her, then smiled and placed the golden lock in condemnation. "So Minh Duong should try?" Sister's fingertips stiffened slightly. She knows how to hold exam papers, knows how to manage a housekeeper, and knows how to say every sentence appropriately. But she doesn't know how to remove the organ. She gently picked up the golden lock, plucked it a few times, but the lock's tongue still did not budge. Quy Canh Hanh looked at her. I saw a small sweat slowly forming on my sister's forehead. In her previous life, such a situation had never befallen her. I will take the initiative to receive it, three or two have already opened. Then she smiled and said: "My sister is like that, when faced with a difficult situation, you must win." In this life, I sit quietly. Don't relieve her. The smile on the Queen Mother's face faded a little. Sister A reluctantly said: "This goddess is stupid, I'm afraid I can't open it." The Queen Mother did not make it difficult, just ordered someone to take it away. But the way Quy Canh Hanh looked at his sister had changed. In the carriage back to the palace, sister was always silent. About to reach the palace gate, she suddenly said: "Today you clearly know how to open it." I looked at her. Her eyes turned red. "You intentionally looked at me and made me lose face." I said softly: "Sister, it turns out not being able to open a lock also makes people in such trouble." Her face immediately turned pale. I won't say any more. There are some awkward things, she should try it once. After the water wheel incident, the princes quickly set up a new bureau. This time it was the Southern District flood. In the past life, the princes used the story of lost natural disaster relief money to force Quy Canh Hanh to bear the responsibility. I spread the epidemic newspaper on the ground of the Eastern Palace. Based on the water levels of the continents, the boat's journey, and the amount of food lost, I calculated from time to time that there were people who exchanged food boats for relief at Giang Lang wharf. That night it rained heavily. Quy Canh

Onion stood under the lamp, giving me a coat. He said: "Lanh Nghi, I owe you a lot." At that time I smiled and said, Your Highness remembers well. He really remembers. After ascending the throne, he rewarded me with a lot of gold, silver and jewels, and also gave me a heavenly palace. It just doesn't reward me with the position I deserve. In this life, the Southern District flood occurred again, and the Eastern palace continued to shine brightly for several days. Quy Canh Hanh did not come to find me. He sent someone to translate some Jiangnan newspapers, saying that his father was busy with the Ministry of Public Works and wanted me to deliver them on his behalf. This excuse is extremely clumsy. I didn't even open the envelope, so I told Thu Hanh to return it intact to the East Palace. The next day, he personally went to the Khuong family. I'm drying books in the yard. He stood under the canopy of a tree, the green circles under his eyes were clear, as if he hadn't slept for several nights. "Linh Nghi, the Southern District flood is related to the lives of people." I put down the book. "Your Highness should go find the Ministry of Public Works, the Ministry of Protection, the Do Thuy Giam." "Don't go looking for a clumsy woman." His face was a bit white. "Are you still angry about the banquet?" "I don't dare." "Khuong Lenh Nghi." His voice was low. "She clearly understood. clearly has the ability to help.” I looked at him. In the past, he was the best at saying this. She clearly has the ability to help. She clearly understood.
