Life in the palace is so boring: paying respects at dawn and dusk, eating three meals a day, teasing cats, keeping fish, and taking the emperor for a stroll.
The Empress Dowager is allergic to dog fur, so His Majesty banned pets from the palace to show his filial devotion.
The consorts wailed and shed tears, but to no avail. Now things were even more boring in the palace.
One day, His Majesty brought back a little girl from a defeated nation, made her a princess, and dumped her in the empress's palace to be raised.
At last, the consorts had something to do again. They ran to the empress's palace every day, gathered around the cradle, and chattered and laughed over one another's words.
Lady Chen was quick with her hands and pinched the child's cheek. The Noble Consort slapped the back of her hand, but the little princess still cried.
The women jostled and teased Lady Chen. "Oh, look what you've done. You hurt the little princess."
It didn't matter that the little princess had no father to dote on her. She had lots of mothers who loved her.
Lady Chen taught her to play cards, and by the time she was nine, she could beat Lady Yue at the card table.
Lady Yue wasn't good at cards, but she was skilled at the guqin. Every day, she followed the princess around with a guqin in her arms, urging her to learn.
The Noble Consort thought children were noisy and feared the princess might disturb the empress's sleep. So every day, she went to sleep in the empress's chambers and kept the princess company, making sure she didn't cry.
At the Lantern Festival, the empress's palace was piled high with scented sachets.
The empress picked them out one by one and handed them to the little princess, advising her, "The Noble Consort has a temper, so you must carry hers every day. Be careful not to make her angry. Lady Yue is thoughtful, so put her sachet by your pillow for a good night's sleep. Your Lady Chen loves to fool around. Why did she embroider such a huge bear on this sachet? How are you supposed to wear it out..."
The little princess had always liked His Highness the Crown Prince, but His Majesty insisted on marrying her off to an old, ugly minister.
She went to her mother and cried.
Her mother gave her a push and whispered, "Listen. Have your Crown Prince brother come and steal you away tonight. At the first watch, His Majesty will die..."

Oops, what a bunch of big bitter melons, little bitter melons, and an old wild boar that's getting in the way.
Are they going to start dating?
Is Meiren Chen unable to come back 😭
I didn't realize it, but His Royal Highness is still a lover. At such a young age, he actually became the scapegoat for his wife, haha
It's really bad. The heroine is not smart in the first place, and with this Zhang Guifei, they really make up the word "chun". Did they think that Chen Meiren died not fast enough? Doing things depends on your brain 💔
Well, will there be any extras? I want to see the married life of the male and female protagonists, and I also want to see the final outcome of the female protagonist's home country.
Teacher, teacher, I have a little idea that I want to confirm. The names of the ladies slowly appear in the article. Is this a deliberate arrangement by the teacher? I had this guess before but was not sure until I saw the queen's name is Xu Lanyue. It felt like my guess was confirmed. The titles in the palace do not represent themselves. Only calling them by their names is the real them.
When I first read the text and the name, I thought it would have a cheerful and nonsensical tone, but in the end, there was a sad tone between the lines. I couldn't help but shed tears when I read it. The author's writing style is very good, and he doesn't deliberately write about sadness, but their words and actions are all sad [translated]
Although there is no palace fighting in this book, there is no vicious female supporting character or vicious male supporting character, but it is filled with a touch of sadness and invisible restraints. Is this the oppressive feeling given by the supremacy of imperial power in feudal society?
Finish spreading flowers! Ruirui, the mothers and concubines with different personalities, and Xiao Lu moved me a lot. Maybe they will not become earth-shattering big shots in the future, but they will definitely live a safe, healthy and happy life! 🐰
