Chapter 5 — Van Li Xuan

It's of no use to me anymore. By similar words. I have heard my father and mother say it countless times. When I was a child, I had a high fever that wouldn't go away. But only because the elder sister coughed slightly. Mother stayed up all night taking care of her. The maid who serves me wants to go find my mother and ask for an order to leave the palace to invite the doctor. But because her mother was worried about her eldest sister, she did not summon her all night. It's the nanny who stays up all night. Over and over again, a wet towel was placed on my forehead to reduce the fever. Thanks to that. Only I can keep this life. When I woke up and saw my mother, I felt sorry for myself and asked. "Last night, I was in such pain, why didn't my mother come to visit me?" Hearing that, my mother's face immediately sank. "It's just a cold, my eldest sister coughed non-stop last night. Her body was already weak, how could there be no one around to take care of her?" "Do you want me to leave my eldest sister alone and come take care of you? Why did I give birth to a cruel-hearted child like you? I want to be my eldest sister." I'm dead, aren't I?" Those words of blame were exactly the same as in the past. Once again it falls on my head. But I'm no longer like the child I was that day, just crying and frantically explaining that I didn't mean it that way. I just leaned slightly. Showing a sarcastic smile at Tham Quan Lan. "If that's the case, wouldn't everything be resolved?" "You tried your best to save the dying Crown Prince, the Crown Prince is so merciful, he probably won't blame you." Maybe it's because I brought up the Third Prince of Tan Thai Lieutenant's palace as evidence too strongly. Maybe...this is the first time in so many years that I dare to disobey them. Refusing to continue to clean up the consequences for the elder sister. In short, Tham Quan Lan recounted every word I said to my father and mother. This time they no longer forced me to admit my mistakes on behalf of my sister. But she performed a scene where her old illness relapsed and she almost lost her life to present to the royal family. To avoid the royal family thinking that the eldest sister's health is too weak and not capable of taking on the position of Crown Princess. Father and mother also specially invited the monks of the Great General Quoc Tu to come and read the fate of their eldest sister. Then the news spread that as long as the eldest sister could overcome this tribulation, she would definitely be healthy, safe, and everything would go smoothly in the future. And we were locked in the street by them. Forced to kneel there every day to copy a prayer to pray for the elder sister's blessing. Until she wakes up. I have copied such sutras countless times. Every time father and mother only glanced briefly. Then conveniently throw it aside. Before, I sincerely believed that we only needed to sincerely copy the sutras. The eldest sister's body will get stronger day by day. Therefore, it seems that my father and mother did not attach much importance to those sutras. I even secretly picked them up. Dinh later brought it all to the temple to pray for blessings for the eldest sister. Now that I think about it, those scriptures actually help us avoid tiring our hands. I just need to use them to bypass my father and mother. The number of times my father and mother were angry and forced me to kneel in the temple to repent so many times that I cannot count them. Even the servants guarding from the street were familiar with it. Previously, every time I was fined. We all obediently knelt down as they said. Or quietly copy scriptures. Sometimes I kneel until my knees are swollen. I even fainted a few times because I hadn't had a single sip of water all day. I always listen. The servants watching from the street were too lazy to come in to see if I was truly sincere in copying the sutras or not. Thanks to that, maid Bach Suong was able to quietly bring me food. And the great-grandmother secretly ordered people to bring portrait paintings of the princesses

The royal family that she personally chose for me. In the hall, we turn to look at each painting. Finally, the finger stopped on one picture. The young man in the painting has his hair tied in a high bun, his hair blowing in the wind, his eyebrows and eyes bright, his appearance extremely handsome, only his eyes carry a bit of uncontrollability. Until I saw the tear mole under the corner of his eye and the caption in the right corner of the painting. The Vice Minister of China's Palace, Zhou Mofeng. I finally remembered, I know him. When we were young, we used to study together at a private school in the Teu palace of Quoc Tu Giam, who was famous throughout the capital for his academic talent. At that time, I always listened to my mother, put my eldest sister first in everything, and gave in to her. Only once. After being laughed at by my mother saying I'm not as smart as my eldest sister. For the first time, I did not give up the poem I wrote to her. But carefully write your name on it, then give it to the prince to mark. I was praised by my husband. He even read my poem in front of everyone. At that time, the eldest sister's face was extremely ugly. When my fellow students were all admiring me because I was praised by my husband. Only Chu Mo Phong, he looked at his eldest sister once, then looked at me. His eyes were full of contemplation. That day, I was so proud. Thinking that when I get home, my father and mother will definitely praise me once. That's why when Chu Mo Phong came to ask for the secret to writing poetry. I didn't hide anything, I told him everything I knew. Who would have thought that he had just returned to the palace. I was scolded by my father and mother again. The next day, when we arrived at the private residence, the man asked everyone to write poetry. After finishing writing, I showed the poem to the elder sister. She said my lesson was better. Then secretly put my name on my poem, then submitted it. As expected, the prince was full of praise for that poem. He stroked his beard and said with a smile. "Prime Minister To really taught his two daughters well." Chu Mo Phong stood next to him, a look of disdain on his face. Time for a break.
