How lucky can one girl be? Lucky enough to inspire jealousy, envy, and bitter resentment.
Her maternal grandfather is a great scholar of the current dynasty, held in high regard. Her maternal grandmother loves Ye Ziqing and always saves her a portion of every tasty treat. Her mother excels at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and is also a superb cook. Her paternal grandfather is the dynasty's chancellor, with students and protégés throughout the court. Her father is Minister of Personnel, overseeing the evaluation and rewards and punishments of all civil and military officials. One older brother serves in the army as a fifth-rank battalion commander. Another married a princess. The young Crown Prince has taken a fancy to Ye Ziqing and wants her as a favored concubine.
Ye Ziqing: Sigh! Being this outstanding is such a headache.
The young ladies: Pah! Ye Ziqing is so shameless and brazen.
Theme: Keep out of the fray and become Empress Dowager.
Alright, that's all I can do for you. Well... I wish you a bright future, and I hope we meet again someday!
Keep it up! I'm in a similar situation to you, only having two favorites, one from me and the other from my friend. But you're better than me; I haven't even finished the second chapter yet (lazy, don't want to update, and have writer's block).
