Chapter 6 — The Eastern Palace Can No Longer Hold Me

“Miss Khuong, please.” I raised my head to look at him. His eyes were calm. Not surprised, not joking, nor did I feel how rare it was for a woman like me to open my mouth to talk about business. As if I was right, he listened. If it wasn't right, he argued. This feeling has been too long. In my previous life in the Eastern Palace, before talking about any political matters, I had to consider Quy Canh Hanh's face. If I speak faster than him, he will be quiet. If I spoke too accurately, my sister would smile and conciliate: "Younger sister is very smart, it's just that your highness has already thought about this level." Over time, even when I opened my mouth, I learned to keep to myself. Now Bui Van Chu is just waiting for me to finish speaking. I said: "For horse salt trade, first stabilize the tribal leaders outside the pass, then liquidate the merchants inside the pass. If you just stare at the envoy, the court will capture one person, there will still be the next." Bui Van Chu nodded. "I also think so." Father laughed. "The two of you talking, it's like entering the court." Mother scolded him. "What are you talking about during the meal?" Bui Van Chu bowed. His head drank soup, his ears were slightly red. When I saw it, my heart suddenly moved. This person usually looks calm, but his ears are red. After dinner, my sister took me back to the hospital. She stopped down the hallway. "Leng Nghi, recently you and Master Bui have been moving very close." I smiled and said: "It's just related to the case." She looked at me, her expression a bit complicated. "Do you really not want to go to the Eastern Palace anymore?" "Yes." "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been to the palace several times in the past few days, but you have avoided meeting him." I nodded. "A sister wants to see you, you can go see her yourself." She bit her teeth. lips. "You know, I didn't mean that." I looked at her. There was unwillingness in her eyes, and also a bit of panic. Since the day I stopped accepting the Nine Links, many things have escaped her control. The Crown Prince began to doubt her. Mother began to see the thorn in her words. Her father no longer saw her as a gentle and completely harmless eldest daughter. Of course she was panicked. I said softly: "Sister Ah, that East Palace road, I will leave it to you." "If you want to go, then go on your own." Her face turned white. "I never wanted to rob you of anything." I nodded. "That's best." The Crown Prince and Sister's marriage is still scheduled. The Queen Mother likes her gentleness and stability. The Queen also felt that the eldest daughter of the Khuong family was dignified and could be a Crown Princess. The day the marriage decree was given, mother breathed a sigh of relief, but looked at me a little worried. I was repairing that Lu Ban box. When I heard that, I just smiled. "Sister got what she wanted, it's a good thing." Mother sighed. "Are you really not sad?" I gently pushed the wooden peg back to its original position. "Not sad." After my sister received the instructions, she personally came to my hospital. She was wearing light pink clothes, with a thin layer of red on her face. Seeing the Lu Ban box in my hand, she softly said: "Younger sister, are you still playing with this thing?" I said: "It's time to spare." She sat opposite me. "The matter of the Crown Princess... I didn't expect it to be so fast." I raised my head to look at her. There was a probe in her eyes and a bit of reserve after winning. I smiled. "Sister A must explain." "This is exactly what you want." Her fingertips tightened. "Lanh Nghi, do you have to say something to stab me like that?" "I'm just telling the truth." She looked at me, her eyes slowly turning red. "Before, you weren't like that." "Before, you would be happy for me." I gently closed the Lu Ban box. "Before, I also thought you would be happy for me." She was stunned. out. The wind in the yard blew, the leaves rustled loudly. She suddenly asked: "Do you already know something?" I looked at her. "Know what?" Lips

She moved, but didn't speak at all. At that moment, I determined. Perhaps she has no memories of her past life. But she felt guilty. No matter how deeply hidden human malice is, when others see through it, they will still panic. Before the Crown Prince's wedding, Quy Canh Hanh came to see me again. This time, he did not enter Khuong's house, but only sent someone to deliver a brocade box. In the box is a remade set of nine consecutive sets. The quality of jade is not as good as tribute, but it is still gentle. He wrote in the letter: "The old thing is broken, I will ask someone to make a new set." "If you are willing, I want to see you take it apart yourself." I looked at that set of bracelets and suddenly wanted to laugh. Once the old thing is broken, if you make a new one, can you pretend that nothing ever happened? I closed the brocade box and told Thu Hanh to take it back to the Eastern Palace. Accompanied by a sentence: "The goddess is clumsy, your highness, please find another wise person." When Thu Hanh returned, she said that the Eastern Palace entourage had a very unsightly face. I was able to sleep the most peacefully during this time. On the day of the Crown Prince's wedding, the Khuong family was filled with red silk. I followed my mother to send my sister off. Sister A wore a phoenix hat and a wedding dress, sitting in front of the dressing table, tears in her eyes. When her mother covered her with a veil, she also cried. Standing next to me, I suddenly remembered the day in my previous life when I entered the Eastern palace.
