Chapter 3 — Three Thousand Miles of Harmony

Just like the strange smile at the corner of Trinh Liem Thanh's lips by the window. I close my eyes. But the imaginary pain never came. “The Holy Spirit is coming!” Outside the door suddenly came a loud, energetic voice. "Your Majesty has an order, the daughter Van Thi Van Thu clearly understands the great cause of the nation, and is now ordained as Princess Thu Hoa. In early spring, she will set out for the country of Yen. I hope the princess will not fail in her mission!" 07 The proclamation quickly ended. Tham Duong kicked away the family holding the stick, heartbroken and hugged me. “Don't be afraid, don't be afraid anymore.” "From now on, all of Dai Ngo will be her mother's house." I leaned on her shoulder, the tears that had been suppressed for a long time completely burst at this moment. The mother seemed to have been struck by lightning, standing still and silent on the spot. “What do you mean?” She savored each word and then asked again: "What kind of relationship? Tell me clearly!" Tham Duong opened the edict and brought it straight in front of her. “That's the point!” Mother received the decree, did not dare to believe it, but read it again and again. “No, it can't be… When did it happen?” Tham Duong said: "During the early adoration, the royal father clearly stated the benefits. Van Quoc Cong also agreed." The mother's face immediately changed from blue to white. Just like that day, when I was informed that I had to take care of Trinh Liem Thanh and marry her into the Second Prince's palace. "I am your mother! Such an important matter, why don't you discuss it with me?" “Yen land is cold and harsh, how can Van Thu go there?” I have calmed down again. I stood up and calmly said: "Even if it's cold to the bone, I can still endure it. Thank you, Mrs. Van, for your concern." The mother immediately stiffened in place. Tham Duong coldly snorted at her. When she turned around to talk to me, her eyes were red. "Van Thu, I also ask the emperor to grant you one more grace. I guarantee that your ceremony will be the most solemn among the princesses ever." “I… I will also exchange all the cash and silver I can get out and give it to you as a dowry.” I nodded. “Thank you, Your Highness.” She wiped her tears, cried and said: "Van Thu, the person who should thank me is me." I calmly smiled and did not refuse anymore. The princess needs to go to the palace to study properly for two months. I didn't bring anything with me, I boarded Tham Duong's carriage alone. The mother completely reacted and quickly followed behind. “Wait a minute, I still have something to say!” The guard stopped her. "The car of the Third Princess and Princess Shu Hua, do you dare to stop it?" In the end, only the urgent call came through the wind and snow. “Van Thu, wait for your mother!” I close my eyes. The wind and snow are so loud, it's like we can't hear it. 08 Fortunately, Tham Tram was sent by His Majesty to Giang Nam to provide relief, so I did not need to encounter him. In the Vi Duong palace, Tham Duong leaned by the window and looked at the snow. "The heavy snow blocked the road. The second royal brother probably still doesn't know about her getting along." She turned her head to look at me. "Do I need to write a letter to let him know? If you two still have feelings, I... I can also go to Yen country myself." "Anyway, you two were so close before, don't make a decision out of temporary anger that you'll regret for the rest of your life..." My hand that was flipping through the book stopped. What was it like before? On the soccer field, a black hair tie flashed before my eyes. The young man rode the wind and quickly pressed the mask that was about to fall off my face. “Van Van Thu, your courage is really big.” I arrogantly trampled the mask on the ground, turned around and kicked the last ball into the net. The teenager was not angry, just laughed. “Tch, you really have no conscience.” “But only a woman like you is worthy of this prince.” But later, the person who criticized me for not being as gentle and dignified as Trinh Liem Thanh was him. The person who criticizes me for not understanding etiquette and hierarchy is also him. Good start, bad ending, that's all. It can be seen that there is nothing worth remembering. I closed the book and smiled with relief. “Okay, the heavy snow has cleared the road, let's not make things difficult for the postman anymore.” Tham Duong replied sadly. Time passed very quickly, in the blink of an eye it was the day of departure to country Y

en. The flag fluttered in the wind, the group of people stretched endlessly. His Majesty is instructing the officials to follow, I have some free time to say goodbye to my family. Father is very old, but until now he and I have had nothing to say. Let's wait a little longer. If you don't ask, you won't have another chance in the future. “Mother isn't coming?” Father was silent for a moment. Before he could open his mouth, a soft figure appeared behind him. I don't have a good face towards Trinh Liem Thanh. “What did you come for?” She said: "Auntie is sick." I nodded. “Then take good care of her in the future.” When the pearl curtain in front of me was about to fall, Trinh Liem Thanh called me again. I raised my head suspiciously. I saw her sadly curl her lips and lower her voice: "You just left, from now on, aunt and Second Highness will forever remember you." “Van Van Thu, this move of yours is truly cruel.” 09 I look at her without emotion. “It's because her heart is too narrow.”
