My name is Ruixue, and I was born in Chang'an, the imperial capital in the middle of winter. The night my mother gave birth to me, her shrill screams floated in the night sky of the Princess Mansion, and the roar of the wind and snow could not cover it up. She was a poor woman, and her husband could not wait outside the door when she gave birth, because he had been laid to rest on the battlefield in the north.
I was born in the middle of the night. Shortly after I was born, my mother only glanced at me and closed her eyes before she could hug me. I have no parents since then.
Then, on the same night, as an exception, I stayed at the palace.
