From Tam and Cam From Vietnam:

“The king ordered his servants to take Tam to the palace in a palanquin, and she rode off happily under the furious and jealous gazes of her stepsister and stepmother.”

This sentence shows that Tam ( the protagonist of a Cinderella story) has finally left the rags behind, and has now found riches. She is royalty now so her king/husband orders his servants to take Tam to the royal palace using transportation fit for royalty.

Two men carry a palanquin with a woman inside.
