Chapter 2 — The Goddess Changes Her Husband
"I heard about her ruining Dan Nhi's dowry. Suong Hoa is becoming more and more arrogant. If we don't hone her character, how can she learn the virtues of a good wife?" The maid behind me bowed her head, not daring to breathe loudly. I smiled: "Let's go back." The maid looked at me, wanting to say more. I did not return to the palace but went to the palace to meet His Majesty. The palanquin entered the palace gate and went straight to Can Thanh palace. On the way, all the palace maids and eunuchs bowed their heads to the sides and knelt down to worship. In the seventh year of Vinh Hoa, the Northwest region experienced a great drought. The goddess prayed for blessings at Ho Quoc pagoda for five days, then it rained. In the tenth year of Vinh Hoa, flash floods broke out, epidemics spread, and people had to flee everywhere. The goddess personally went to Tay Son to pray for blessings for two years. Up to now, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful. The goddess is the pillar of Dai Chu, and also the spiritual support in the hearts of people. People respect and love me, and the emperor respects me. Only the parents in the family resented me for being disrespectful to my elders. The Crown Prince blamed me for being arrogant and arrogant. I close my eyes. Your Majesty will not keep me waiting long. He happily said: "Suong Hoa, why are you here?" I was silent for a moment: "Your Majesty once said that if one day I regret it, I can change to marry someone else. I don't know if that still counts or not?" He was a bit taken aback, quickly waved his hand for me to sit down, and said in a soft voice: "Of course it still counts." "Come here, tell me what happened." A warmth surged in my heart. Since childhood, my parents have not treated me well, but Your Majesty views me as his own daughter. Every time like that, he blamed them for not caring about me. "Suong Hoa is the goddess of Dai Chu, a good omen of Dai Chu, of course she must receive the best." He always told everyone like that. I tell many stories. Hearing the end, he sighed: "I have long reminded you to think carefully." Two years ago, the Third Prince became more and more outstanding, while the Crown Prince was extremely mediocre and refused to progress. His Majesty originally liked the Third Prince, so he came up with the idea of changing the Crown Prince, and personally summoned me to the palace to ask questions. At that time, I wholeheartedly turned to the Crown Prince and of course found every way to say good things to him. After a long period of silence, the emperor finally did not touch the Crown Prince. But before I left, he left a sentence. If one day I regret it, I can come find him. 5 The Emperor agreed to my request. "Fortunately, it was just a verbal engagement, nothing to worry about. At the state banquet one month later, I will change the name in the four-marriage decree for you to Third Prince." "But the Crown Prince's matter is very involved, I need to think long-term. Your marriage is also related to the fate of the nation, absolutely must not be revealed."I of course agree. Italy. Before I left, he seemed to be in a very good mood and casually asked: "That's right, is the ruby I gave you good to use? Why didn't I see you brought it with you today?" I was a bit surprised. He clasped his hands behind his back, smiled and said: "It's a tribute from a foreign clan. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, extremely rare. I thought you were praying for blessings in the mountains, it was hard, cold, frosty and windy, so I sent someone to take it to your palace." My heart was moved, I immediately bowed and bowed to say: "Thank you, Your Majesty." After leaving the palace, the maid asked me suspiciously: "Miss, what kind of ruby is that? Why have you never seen it before?" I bowed. lips: "That's right. Don't say it's you, even your lady has never seen it." After returning to the palace, I sent someone to search the whole yard. Nothing found. I smiled slightly, lowered my voice and said: "The piece of ruby your Majesty gave me has been lost. Please, mother Trinh, report to the officials on my behalf." Her face immediately turned serious, understanding.
got my idea. When the soldiers arrived, So Dan Nhi was having a meal with his father and mother. Since the unhappy breakup that day, they no longer called me to dinner. Not long after, the whole palace was in such chaos that people fell from their horses. The panicked servants ran to report. Mother was startled: "What are you doing, sir?" Father also smiled conciliatoryly: "May I ask Lord Ly, what does this mean?" Lord Ly coldly said: "The goddess lost the piece of ruby and jade given to her by your Majesty. The official followed orders to search." I slowly walked out and nodded slightly: "Sorry to bother you sir." Mother's face turned white and blue, she glared at me angrily: "This girl, she just lost something, she can find it herself. Why did you alarm the government?" "Why don't you quickly apologize to me and ask me to leave? What's the point of making the whole government chaotic?" I looked at her and said nothing. Not long after, a soldier ran out holding a box. "Found it! The ruby his Majesty gave him was found under the lady's pillow." The handkerchief in mother's hand was immediately tightened. I reached out my hand to receive it and observed it carefully. Then I signaled to Lord Ly: "It's this thing. Thank you sir." Lord Ly nodded, waved his hand, pointed at So Dan Nhi who was so scared that his face turned pale: "Catch the thief!" "Wait!" Mother walked out, forced a smile:
