Chapter 9
Chapter 9 — The whole family told me I was not filial, so I immediately helped the Marquis add more people to be filial
He remained standing in place, hesitated for a moment, then added:
“Miss, it's the Bach Hoa Banquet of Canh Vuong Palace.”
He scratched his head, looked at the half-worn clothes on his body, and finally couldn't bear it.
“Miss, Canh Vuong is the Saint's biological brother, so at the banquet at Canh Vuong's palace, it is difficult to ask for a card... Viewer, is it…”
His eyes swept back and forth over me twice. The meaning was too clear. I lowered my head and looked back at myself, suddenly understanding.
“What do you mean this outfit is too ordinary?”
He smiled wryly twice.
“After all... it's a royal banquet.”
I nodded.
“You really are not a bad person.”
I turned around and called out:
“Little Dao Hong, reward!”
Tieu Dao Hong quickly took out two yellow beans and threw them over. He held two golden grains in his hand, overjoyed. By the time I raised my head again, I was striding away. I also miss my great-grandmother... During the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the entire Thanh Vien Marquis Palace family sat in a corner, and at first they didn't feel anything unusual. Until I appeared. They saw the old Princess holding my hand, sometimes reaching out to touch my face, sometimes adjusting my hair, smiling so much that her eyes squinted into a line. As for me, I sat next to the old princess, reaching out to take a piece of flower cinnamon cake from her plate. Not only was she not angry, on the contrary, she even pushed the plate of cake in front of me. Next to him, there was a rather strange looking noble lady, asking in a low voice:
"Whose girl is that? Why is the old Princess so close to her?"
"It's not surprising that you don't know. That's Princess Khang Ninh, the most favored little Princess of Canh Vuong Palace. It's said that since childhood, she was raised next to the old Princess, and rarely brings her out to meet outsiders."
Hearing this, the faces of the entire Thanh Vien Marquis Palace's family suddenly changed. Only then did they suddenly wake up and realize - To this girl who had just been picked up from outside, they had never asked a single question, before returning to the Marquis Palace, how had I lived my days. They only saw me dressed normally, so they automatically assumed I was just a child growing up in a normal family. Lady Marquis sat there bewildered, her tears kept falling, she even forgot to wipe, and no longer cared whether she offended the noble or not. Thanh Vien Hau held a cup of tea in his hand. The tea had cooled down a long time ago, but he hadn't even taken a sip. Little Marquis frowned tightly, sometimes looking at me, sometimes looking at the old Vuong Phi, as if there was some big problem that he still couldn't figure out. Only Tan Nha Nhi— Her eyes were glued to me, her lips were pursed until they were pale white, her fingers were tightly clenching the handkerchief, her knuckles were blue. When I looked over, she was biting her lower lip, almost bleeding. Little Marquis was the first to discover her unusual appearance, so he leaned closer and asked in a low voice:
“What's going on?”
Tan Nha Nhi's whole body trembled slightly, as if she had just been startled. She quickly lowered her head. When he raised his head again, his eyes were red, tears glistened in his eye sockets, threatening to fall but had not yet fallen. Her voice was broken and choked with tears, but she still tried to suppress it so her voice wouldn't tremble.
“I... I just have it Just a little sad..."
Little Marquis was impatient. Tan Nha Nhi bit her lip and finally a tear fell. She quickly wiped it away, gently sniffed her nose, trying to force a forced smile.
“No wonder... she always refused to acknowledge her father and mother... Turns out... it turns out she couldn't bear to leave the Royal Family and the Royal Highness. But... but that was... mine..."
As she spoke, her voice became lower and lower, feeling more and more pitiful.
"I've always given in to her, and never thought about taking over what belonged to her... But she hid it from everyone, blatantly taking over the identity that belonged to me..."
She covered her mouth with her hand, tears falling drop by drop, her shoulders constantly shaking, crying like a flower that had just been crushed by wind and rain.
“Brother... what should I do...”
After hearing this, Master Tieu's face darkened little by little. He looked at Tan Nha Nhi crying until her whole body was shaking, then looked forward, where I was laughing and chatting happily with the old Princess.
