Chapter 3 — The Emperor Favors His Royal Highness, I Make Him No Longer Emperor

The Emperor did not come. Of course I'm not stupid enough to wait for someone. After showering and changing my clothes, I knelt in the Buddha hall, held the sandalwood string that the Queen Mother gave me, and closed my eyes to chant sutras. The Buddha hall is not big. Inside, there is a statue of Bach Ngoc Quan Am. In the past, this statue of Guan Yin was consecrated by the Queen Mother herself. I left the palace for half a year. But no one dares to touch this Buddha hall. Maybe it's because they don't dare to do tricks in the Buddha hall, afraid of retribution.

“Your highness.”

Ngoc Tran's voice echoed from outside the door. Intentionally downplayed.

"What is up?"

"The people from Can Thanh palace sent word, saying that the Emperor will review the chapter until late tonight, so he should stay at Can Thanh palace and will not go to Phuong Nghi palace anymore."

Look at Quan Am's compassionate face with her head bowed and her eyes lowered. It's fine not to come. Don't have to act.

“I know.”

I closed my eyes again.

“Tell the kitchen to stew a bowl of snow ear soup and send it to Can Thanh Palace.”

“Let's just say that this palace is worried about the Emperor's dragon body.”

“Your Highness, the Emperor hasn't come yet…”

“It's your business if you don't come.”

"This palace did not send someone to bring the guard over, that is rude."

“Why don't you understand such a simple principle?”

Ngoc Tran replied once and then retreated. Early the next morning. The Emperor's reward has arrived. Three Thuc Cam trees. A box of Dong Chau. Two trees as desired. Everything is neatly displayed in Phuong Nghi palace. Eunuch Truong Toan Phuc of Can Thanh Palace stood below, his face full of smiles.

“Your Majesty, the Queen is at peace.”

"The Emperor has already told you that these things are for your highness to purify the ceiling and welcome the wind."

"Your Majesty has been away from the capital for half a year. She has truly endured many hardships. Her Majesty will always remember it in her heart."

I look at those three Thuc Cam trees. The colors are actually quite bright. But the pattern is too old. No matter how you look at it, it looks like inventory that has been stored in a warehouse for many years. The other Dong Chau box is even more generous. There are seven pills in total. Three tablets were cracked. Two pills have turned yellow. The remaining two pills were reluctantly considered usable. As for the desired pair, they are indeed made of jade. But with just a glance, we realized it. That was the wish-fulfilling pair that the Queen Mother gave as a reward last year on Mid-Autumn Festival. It's really making things difficult for people. I still have to deliberately rummage through the warehouse to find these items to bring to deal with me.

“I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of the palace.”

I nonchalantly said a sentence.

“Your Highness, the Emperor has further instructions.”

"Tonight, you want to hold a small party at Can Thanh Palace to welcome the wind to cleanse your Highness."

“Please, Your Highness, definitely attend with respect.”

"The Emperor has held a banquet, of course this palace must come."

I raised my eyes and looked at him.

“Who else is there?”

“This…”

Truong Toan Phuc hesitated for a moment.

“Your Highness will also be present.”

“I know.”

I nodded slightly.

“Tell Your Majesty, this palace will arrive on time.”

After Truong Toan Phuc left. Ngoc Tran tidied up the pile of rewards and muttered in a low voice:

“Your Majesty is also true.”

“Can these things be taken out?”

“Yesterday, the noble lady came to the warehouse to pick up fabric.”

“The slave saw with her own eyes that she carried away ten top-quality Van Cam trees in one breath.”

“She took it to Van Cam.”

"The Emperor immediately pulled out the pile of goods from the warehouse and gave it to this palace."

Ta laughed softly.

"This palace's reputation is really great."

Ngoc Tran was so angry that her cheeks puffed out and she pushed the Dong Chau box aside.

“Miss, are you really not angry?”

“What are you angry about?”

I picked up the wish-fulfilling jade and turned it gently in my hand.

"What you give, I receive."

"Whether you like it or not is up to you."

"Whether you use it or not is up to you."

"People think that just three old lychees and a box of junk goods can chase away this palace, that's their problem."

“But you brought these things to humiliate me…”

“Humiliation?”

I raised my head to look at Ngoc Tran.

“Ngoc Tran, you must remember carefully.”

“The real humiliation does not lie in what others give you.”

“But when others ask for something from you, you can't help but give it.”

“Currently, this palace lacks nothing.”

“What are you using to insult this palace?”

The dinner party was held in the Dong Noan Cac of Can Thanh Palace.
