The Emperor's Heart Is the Only One Favored

In the spring of the third year of Yongchang's reign in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Queen Mother Shen brought her niece Shen Wan, whose parents had died, into the palace to raise her. Everyone in the court knew that the Queen Mother was adding people to the harem of the young emperor Xiao Che, and the daughter of the Shen family was destined to live in Fengqi Wutong.

For the first time, she greedily made ten wishes, ranging from "Aunt Changle Weiyang" to "The civet cat in the imperial garden will stop stealing the food of the little oriole", which were trivial yet vivid. The second time, she secretly replaced the juiciest peach on the offering plate with the shriveled fruit she brought, and whispered, "Don't blame Buddha.
